Speaker 1

You're listening to comedy central, coming to you from New York City, to the only city in America it's the daily show. Tonight the Queen is laid to rest. The history of black animation in Sam Maroon. It's the daily show with driver Nol come, thank you, come Qui, thank you, thank you, thank you. My second set to this state. We have got a great show fear tonight. Jeff bezos is now broke, Roywood Jr watches cartoons and Queen Elizabeth the second is officially to rest. So let's do this, people.

Let's jump straight in his headlines. All right, before we get into the big stories, let's catch up on a few other things that are going on in the world. First Up, a giant story from the world of Video Games. Over the weekend a hacker leaked unfinished footage from the next grand theft auto game, and then they threatened to release more if rock star Games doesn't reach a deal with them. Yeah, and you know rock star, the game manufacturer.

They must be so pissed right now. It must be like, how do these kids get the idea that it's fun to commit crimes? Huh? Not. Luckily, law enforcement has said that they had a lead on the criminal, but then he hid in a car washed for like a minute and now they just forgotten about the whole case. In international news, Tom Adani, an Indian businessman who made his fortune in shipping and coal production, has officially lost Jeff Bezos to become the world's second richest person. Yeah, Poor

Jeff bezos. When he heard this, his rocketship immediately went limp. Can I see some of your cheering? He's just like, yeah, Indian guy, number two on the list. Don't forget, don't forget. Yes, it's good news for him, but Mr Dannie's parents are Indian, so they probably like you know, I still wish you went to medical school. A billion in school, but you know what schools being a doctor. Oh, and an update

on covid nineteen. In an interview yesterday, President Biden said that, while we still have a problem with the virus, quote, the pandemic is over. Yes, yeah, but I get why Biden said this. I mean he just had covid everyone. Everyone who gets covid is over covid everyone. As soon as they're done, they're like it's done for everybody. Let's stop this by stop breathing in each other's mouth, all right, but let's get to the big story that everyone's talking about.

Two weeks ago, as you all know, Queen Elizabeth died of being old, and it's been a wild two weeks since right lots of heats and debates from all sides. She was an icon, she was a tyrant, preserved the monarchy, getting rid of the monarchy. We hate Charles. We also hate Charles, but today, today Britain said, Hey, let's suppress our feelings as usual, because it's the queen's funeral, and they did it in a major way. So let's catch up on the UK's Big Day in our latest installment

of the Royal Rumble. Today, Queen Elizabeth was laid to rest at one of her favorite castles, but before she was buried, the public was given a chance to visit her casket and pay their respects. Overnight, that incredible line of mourners snaking through central London, thousands patiently waiting to pay their respects to Britain's longest raining monarch. Tens of thousands from around the world wait for hours to see the Queen's coffin, with lines now stretching five miles to

see her lying in state. They're predicted way tonight, an incredible twenty two hours. We've been waiting for ten hours, since four o'clock. Even Soccer Stan David Beckham lining up overnight for thirteen hours. So I think there was a reminder of how much people in this in this country, really like to line up. It really is a national pastime. British people enjoy queuing, as they say in this country. It's an interesting takeaway. Why are these people here? They're

just like lining up. That's a there's something else. No, no, they're just really like lining up. I don't think they also like the Queen, but but this is true. Apparently standing in line is really popular in Britain. It's like their national pastime. And before you make fun of them for doing something so boring, don't forget America's national pastime, as baseball, you know, which is yeah, when people act as if someone died but they didn't. But twenty two

hours in line, that's no joke. Twenty two hours because, remember, there's no iphone at the end of that line. All right, it's just the box and you don't even get to open the box. And, as you heard, even David Beckham waited in line, which honestly, I found so impressive, because apparently he was offered a chance to skip the queue and he refused, which is really admirable, I mean, especially when you consider that you don't know who you're gonna

be stuck in that line with. You know what I mean? Yeah, because at the beginning you might be like, I'm just gonna stand in the line and next you know there's like an arsenal fan behind him for twenty hours, just like man. You know, in our ship they says it said now, AH, send now, God save the cord, Muss if like, awesome now, but off the days of queuing. Today was finally the Queen's a bit funeral, and essentially the entire country shut down for this thing. You've never

seen anything like it. Schools and businesses were closed, I mean, and that's a really great way of honor, you know someone who also never had to work. But but it was intense. It was also a little inconvenient for people. Flights were canceled to avoid the noise. Hospitals even postponed surgeries. Yeah, and if you're supposed to get a surgery on a plane, forget it. That definitely wasn't happening. No, but for real,

I think it's I think it's actually good. I think it's good that they postponed routine surgeries because, like everyone in the UK, is distracted today. You know, kind of doctors coming out, like Mrs Abbott's. I'm pleased to say the bum lift was a success. But but I needed a hip replacement. I know I need a new queen, but you don't hear me complaining. I get on out of here with that fat ask girl. Go on, shake it,

just shake it. So obviously this was a huge deal, right and and, by the way, not just for the Brits. Leaders from all over the world flew in to be a part of this funeral. Now, what was a little strange was that President Biden arrived in a six car motorcade, meanwhile leaders from most other countries had to share buses. I mean, that must have sucked. It's like the whole point of becoming a world leader is that you don't

ever have to ride a bus anymore. Imagine you're the emperor of Japan and you have to pretend you don't hear just intrude shooting in the bus bathroom. And obviously some people are mad that Biden got special treatments, but if you ask me, I think the other world leaders. They're the ones who benefits it. Can you imagine being stuck on a bus with Joe Biden? With Joe Biden, the conversation would never end. It's just him like so

that Mr Prame, minister, said Corn Pop. I said listen, Jack, How I took his head side, but what would you move into another scene? Come on, man, come on, listen. And world leaders weren't the only ones in attendance. No, the Queen's Corgis were there too, and this was really sweet. Yeah, they got to pay their lost respects, you know, see the Queen One more time and then, I assume, followed the little trail of dog treats right into the tomb.

Very adorable. That's how the Egyptians did it. I'm assuming the English are the same. It's also like, why would you bring the dogs? Why are you torturing them? What were the dogs like sitting up in the morning? Can we get a treat? And like, I'll show you why. There's no more treats. But once the funeral was over, the Queen's casket was driven to Windsor Castle to give her one last chance to experience London traffic, and everyone

made it count. We're watching the royal procession of Queen Elizabeth's cough and cheers going up from the crowd, a crowd that has been quiet and somber throughout most of the morning, but now cheers as the Queen's cough and passes by hours being thrown from the crowd towards the Queen's coffin. This is probably my favorite part of a funeral. No, genuinely is. It's like there's a moment where everyone's sad because somebody's gone, and then there's the moment where you

celebrate their life. I love this moment. You know, you're like, ha, ha. It's just a way that they were throwing the flowers onto the cause windshield while the dude is driving. It's a bit risky. Guy's gonna end up like just plowing right into the crowd. Oh, I just put those in the back with the Queen. Let's go, let's go. We

gotta keep moving, gotta keep moving. But aside from all the flowers and panties being thrown at the car, it was a beautiful procession with all the king's horses, all the king's men, basically everyone who couldn't save Humpty dumpty. They were there and it was a three Mile March from Westminster Abbey two wins the castle, also known as the long walk. Yeah, or as Kylie Jenner calls it,

why didn't they take the jet? So it was a long ride to win's the castle, but it was worth the weight because the ceremony, the ceremony formally laying her majesty to rest, was not to be missed. The most intimate moving moment was when the crown jeweler removed the instruments of state, that's, the crown, the ORB in. The sceptor removed them from the Queen's coffin and placed him on the altar, and then the head of the Queen's household broke his wand of office and then placed that

on the Queen's coffin. That essentially signals, we're told, that this queen's reign is over. The coffin then lowered into the vault. There are ten other monarchs buried there at St George's Chapel as well. Yeah, as the world watched on Queen Elizabeth the second, the UK's longest reigning monarch was lowered into the family vaults, and whether you are full or against the monarchy, you cannot deny this is

a landmark moment in history. They broke the wand and it's official, I will say, and yes, it's because I've read too much Harry Potter, this thing could have just as easily been part of a wizard ceremony. You know, it's like a guy in a Cape Holding an ORB snapping a wand. By the way, why, why is the wand getting buried with her majesty, but nothing else? I feel like it's kind of a left down right, because they could bury her with the crown and the ORB,

but they're like no, no, we'll, we'll hold onto these. Yeah, you can be buried with this broken pool cue. There you go, Tata. All right, that's it for the headlines, but before we go for a quick break, let's check in on the stock market without finance expert Michael Cost to everybody, a lot of money moving, a lot of things changing. What's that? What's happening in the market today? Before we get into the market's you know, I just want to say my thoughts are with the Queen and

I pray that law enforcement finds her killer. Okay, so today is a day where we reflect on the Queen's life, we reflect and evaluate our own lives. You know, I took the weekend to consider the direction of my life and which way it's going. And, Trevor, I have to say, okay, honestly, now more than ever, I am absolutely crushing it. Okay, I am crushing it's even harder now, because that's what the Queen would have wanted. Okay, so I got a hot tip for you and I got a hot tip

for you as well. So pay attention or, as they say in England, a boiling point. Okay. Now behind me, this is the world billionaire index. These are the five richest people in the world, otherwise known as Bernie Sanders hit list. Okay, but but before we do this, Biden

saying that the pandemic is over. That's great, I love that, but I'm still gonna keep spraying fruit and vegetables with light soult okay, because I've become accustomed to the taste, to be honest with you, or whatever taste I have left. I mean to be honest, that everything tastes like metal at this point, but here's here's I want to talk about this. This a donny guy. Okay, where is he?

Right there? All right, look, this is the point where he surpassed Jeff Bezos, becoming the second richest man in the world. Now, how did he do it? Okay, which one is a donny? I gotta fine. Okay, how did he do it? Right here, this is where he started making coffee at home and stopped buying it on the way to work. Boom, hundred million dollars. Think about that. A rolla. The number one spot is still Elon Musk. Okay, you know, you know, Ellen, just kind of right here.

He just kind of started out as a normal rich guy and then he realized around that he can be so annoying. Okay, tweets, memes talking about Crypto, and guess what? That business strategy worked. And look at him. The more annoying he is, the more his value goes up. Now on the flip side, Trevor Bill Gates, I mean, Geez, right, all the way down to number five. Only a hundred billion dollars. What a loser, you know, I mean, you know who I blame? Actually my mom. She's still running windows. Okay,

it takes her ten minutes to open up solitaire. Now, big picture, I know what some of you were thinking. Hey, Costa, you crush it so hard. Thank you. Okay, why aren't you on this list? Well, look, I'm a male feminist, all right. The reason why is that funny. Look, I'm a male feminist. The reason you don't see me on this list is I don't want to be in any list that doesn't include any women. Let's be honest. Yeah, yes, yes, there should be a woman on this list. Okay, especially

a hot blonde chick with big booms. All Right, I promised you a boiling point to AK a hot tip. Look at this chart. You see you see ourn all, you see our noll. Okay, no one knows who the hell that guy is, so you can be him legally. Change Your name to ourn all. I just gave you a hundred billion hundred. I just gave you a hundred fifty billion dollars. You're welcome, everybody. Thank you very much,

Michael Cost everybody. I don't think this is real financial advice, but when we come back we're gonna learn about black animated, so don't go away. Welcome back to they show. Did you know that it's legal to talk about black history, even when it's not black history month. Yeah, it is so to learn about some for gotten moments of black history. We turned out to Royal Jr with another episode of CP time. Ms, you're not gonna let me see my kids,

but I'm not gonna sing you no money. Uh. Welcome to CEP time, the only show it's for the culture. Today we will be discussing black animators. We're in a golden age of black animation right now, with animators such as Aaron regruiter of the Boondocks, or Peter Ramsey, who won an Oscar for that movie about that teenage black boy that ever spider man. I'll tell you what, if I had jumping powers, I wouldn't be doing no favors around the neighborhood solving murders for free. I'd be making

millions in the NB eight. Shoot a three point on me. If you won't Steph Curry, I'll snatch it out the air turnover. But before those animators there were pioneers who led the aid in animation, black pioneers like Zelda Jackie arms. She created four comic strips, the most iconic being padded Joe and Ginger, which started two black sisters. They were the Venus and Serena Williams of their time, except for

not playing tennis and not being real. So I suppose they were nothing like Venus and Serena, but aside from that they were. This cartoon was so popular it led to the creation of the first African American doll based on a comic character, and it was the only doll with the face. That said, I know these white girls about to touch my hat. The next black animator we

want to celebrate is Floyd Norman. He was hired by Walt Disney studios after only two years in art school and he worked on sleeping beauty, one hundred and one Dalmatians, the sword and the stone and Mary poppins. Basically, if your mother of a at you one of those fancy Disney VHS tapes to Floyd Norman Drewid and you think he was busy enough working on those movies, but Nope, floyd was also find in time to post gag drawings are all over the Walt Disney campus. These drawings poked

fund a company executives. When Walt Disney himself saw them, he was so impressed that he hand picked Norman to work on the jungle book. You know how good you've got to be at your job. We're roasting your boss gets you a promotion. Usually only happens on a while and out. Norman left Disney to co create the company Vignette Films, which is where he made his biggest contribution to the culture, creating the original opening credits for soul trained.

It looks like if Thomas the tank engine did asset and had a couple of shots of Hennessey. Finally, we must mention Bruce W Smith, who directed the nineteen nine classic Babees kids. Wait a minute, this guy looks familiar. Look stole my look and to talk to my lawyers about that. Anyway, Smith was instrumental in animating movies like

who framed Roger Rabbit, Tarzan, a goofy movie. And not only did he create the proud family, which was Disney's first animated show with a black female lead, he was also a supervising animator on Disney's the princess and the frog, which featured the studios first black princess. And yes, I know she was immediately turned into a frog, but it was still a better royal experience than the one Megan

Marco had. His crowning moment was co directing the movie hair love, and I'm very happy that this story got told because it introduced America to every black father's worst nightmare, having to style your daughter's hair. Time I tried, I messed up my daughter's hair so bad she got a restrain in order against me. I'm legally not allowed within fifty ft of her edges at Old Times. So there you have it, some of histories most inspiring black animators.

In fact, it inspired me so much that I commissioned a group of top animators to turn me into my unique animated form. Let's see how they did. I knew it. I knew the guy from babies kids stole my look. Or did I steal his look? Well, that's all the time we have for today. I'm Roy Witho and this has been CP time, remember, before the culture. But but seriously, am I rip off of the Guy from babies kids?

To be honest with me, Chim, because if we come back, stand up Comedians, a very funny Samurai hunting out a shop, you don't want to miss it. Welcome back to the day show. My guest tonight as a comedian, he's an actor and he's a Co host of the sports podcast games with names. He's going to talk about his groundbreaking new Netflix stand up special, Sam Morrell. Same time tomorrow. Please welcome Sat Morelo. Sam. How are you? Man, welcome to the Danny show. Thanks for this. Is Awesome. Are

you kidding me? This? This is one of my favorite moments because, I mean, I met you maybe it's like eight years ago when I first came to New York to do comedy. Nope, nobody knew me. No one. Do you know what I mean? This was like what even long actually, maybe ten years ago, and I met you in the comedy seller. And you know, in comedy circles there's always comedians where they'll say like that's a comics, comic, where every comedian stays to watch that comic. Every comedian

wants to see what they're gonna say. And you were that guy. You're still that guy and I'm so excited to see all the success that's coming your way and congratulations. Thank you, man. I feel I think, is it such a legit sholl? I mean you usually have someone arguing before the Human Rights Council and now you have me, a guy who's arguing with the front desk in my hotel to return my muscle relaxers that they took. So I think it's perfectly fit. Yeah, you know, you're like

you saw in the clip. You talk about everything you know. For those for those who don't know Sam, you're gonna know him. But let's start with this part of the story, which I really love. You know, Um, for a long time comedy has been the funniest sort of makes it up. The funniest makes it up. Then social media came in, things started changing and then it was almost like inside out people are like who's famous? Will make them a comedian, and a lot of comedians like it doesn't seem to

be working as well. You couldn't get anybody to look at you, couldn't get anybody to take your special, you couldn't get anybody to put you on TV. You put it out yourself. You've got like eleven million views, one of the most watched specials on youtube ever. And then Netflix was like, all right, Sam, we need to do a deal. Yeah, Netflix, I think their stock was sinking. And Uh, and I feel like I got in the lifeboat right as the titanic started going down. I was like,

I'm in, Dude, let's do it. No, I'm honored. It's awesome, it's it's it's crazy. Yeah, you put it on Youtube. You don't think anyone's gonna Watch it? I mean I remember shopping it for HBO and for Netflix a couple of years ago and they were like past and I was like, well, I'm gonna make it. So I'm gonna make my own special. PUT It out, comics share it, comics support comics. Yeah, I got very lucky in that way. You know, I don't think you've got I think the

audience has got lucky, because you're you're you're special. No, I honestly mean this, because your special. Everyone has commented it on it in different ways. It's like it's I think it's part of the reasons so many comics. I've always loved you. You never know what Sam is gonna say and how he's gonna say. It's like, you know people like Oh, he does jokes about the transgender community, and you don't know which way it's gonna go. And you you had. I saw your name trending online and

I was like, Oh, ship, give me too. I was like, Oh yeah, and it was the Trans Community going we love this comedian and his jokes about Trans People. Oh, that terrified me. Why? Because they love me today. I'm like, I know, like he's our guy. I'm like, don't make me your guy. You love me today, you're gonna hate me tomorrow. I don't know, because it's like when you say you just kind of follow the joke. I don't.

It's I don't want to hurt anyone in any joke, but when you write a joke you're just going for the laugh. So that joke for me was like, you know, a guy said something about tran he goes. It was about a friend who was who said, uh, you know, I fully support Trans People. I mean, I'll play along. I was like, I don't think that's what they're going for. I don't think you're scoring a lot of points walking up to a trans person like a sure if you

say so. See how uncomfortable this whole crowd was about me even going into that. They were like, where the is he going with this joke? And then it was okay, right, you've got like you've got this, you've got this cadence, you've got this Vibe, you've got this you. You also

have a joy about you, like I remember. I remember like tweeting there's some shows of yours that were coming up and I was like Yo, guys, you gotta go watch Sam or, you gotta go watch them, and people like, first of all, half of South Africa's like where, where is this, like service in New York? I should have told you, but but what I loved was the response I got from people afterwards. It's it's exactly what you said. You on stage. It never feels like you're like trying

to hurt anybody and it's never felt like that. But you're funny, you're still edgy. I think you do what comedy needs. Like you. You can people on their toes, you know, and it's not like you're safe for the sake of being safe. It seems like you're having fun. I Love I love stand up. I mean that's the thing. Is like, I'm you know some of these cities. You're like, I mean, I'm on the road every week. I love

what I do. So that's the thing. It's like, yeah, you never go up there with the tend to hurt anybody. Sometimes people get hurt, but that could happen. I have a friend Ryan Hamilton's gonna joke about hot air balloons and someone was like that's offensive. I was like, well, that's on you, I think. I mean you're set by hot air balloons. Anything can offend someone, but that that's on them. I mean sometimes they try to say like well, you shouldn't joke about that. was like, you were fine

with me for the first forty seven minutes. That's the thing I've noticed. That's the thing I always say to people is I go a lot of people don't realize that every joke is funny until you find it person like everybody lost, everyone lost, lost, lost, lost, and then they'll be like Nah, that you went too far. It's like, what about the other jokes? That like, well, those were cool because they weren't about me or anything that I necessarily can't about. But then up until that point people

are generally fine. Yeah, I think, and I think most people are smart enough to tell the difference between, you know, good intent and intent that. Yeah, we've all gotten mad at a person and that's not funny. You lose when you become too emotionally attached to something. You're not funny anymore. You need the detachment. You need the comedy, I think. But think the comedy is connected to the detachment. Yeah, exactly.

I remember when my when my grandmother passed away, we were in this weird space where, like, I was crying the whole week. Everyone is like discussing the family. What are we going to do, what are we not going to do? And there would always be these moments where, like, a joke comes up. You know what I'm talking about. As a comedian, you you see the joke and then you look at the people around you like, but because his family, I could say it. I think that's that's

part of it. That's part of you know, why do you think it is that you've really been able to keep the context of your comedy? A lot of a lot of comedy, I think, has been hurt by the lack of context. When we're in a room, everyone here gets it. We know that we're making jokes about certain things. We know that we don't really feel certain ways. It's a joke. With social media it became someone who wasn't at the show, who didn't get the context, who don't

know the beginning of the story. They get angry. And this didn't happen to you. It just happens in comedy, but for some reason you, I don't know, you've managed to preserve that context. You know why or how? I think placement, the set order, is important, but mean, you nailed it where. Yeah, social media, it's like a comedy club where people are just opening the door and they come in at the wrong time. It just opened the door and they're like, what was that? Like, that's not

when you were supposed to enter. So it makes me mad. Look, here's the thing. That's the beauty of social media. You reached so many people and so many of those people are like, Oh, I like this guy now, but some of those people are like, I hate you, and you just kind of have to accept that. That's it's a package deal. It's a package deal, but I think, I think you're getting one huge part of the package, which is people loving you. Your Netflix special is just like

received to acclaim, obviously on Youtube. You're crushing and you're doing so well right now that you you you have a whiskey. That's the real thing. I heard a room that you have a whiskey. You have a whiskey. Just explained this to me. How do you Bodega Cat Whiskey at Bodega Cat whiskey dot com explained this. What do you mean? You like? Because when they said Sam has a Whiskey, like I thought they just you just have a whiskey with you. Well, I had that too. Yeah,

but that's no. Yeah, I think I'll be honest. I got into comedy. I didn't get into it because I was like a go getter. You know, my brother and sister are lawyers, are very smart. I was the black sheep, you know. I was like, oh, open bar, I'm in. That's all I needed. And then I was like, Oh, I can make my own whiskey. People will make up. So we got a whiskey cooking. This guy, Chris Hart, Help Mark Norman Right, my friend. I made a whiskey and you can get it now. So whiskey. All I

say is congratulations. You're one of the nicest, funniest Comedians I've ever met, the best. Thank you, brother. Some of the hang you lacker. Some everybody's gonna take a quick break.
