You're listening to Comedy Central.
Let's move on to the bench story, the arrest of Donald J. Trump. Oh you heard about it. You all heard about it. Okay. I thought it was just a little un you know, little Yesterday was a momentous day for Donald J.
Trump.
He was indicted for thirty four counts of falsifying business records and also one count of clogg in the courthouse toilet. They had it that one at the last minute, so old Trump. He went down to the courthouse, looked around stupid for a couple of minutes, and then fled on his private jet to Florida because, as you all know, Florida does not have an extradition treaty with the United States. He rode up Tomorrow Lago and then he waved to his support US and then offered to put a storm
up there. Butt sick.
What is this?
Seriously, though, who adds motion to a thumbs up? It's simple, lock the elbow. Trump gotta be the first person to add the jerk off motion to a thumbs up. Thanks so much for coming out. I really appreciate it.
Ay.
So, then after all of that, it was time for Trump to give his big speech and sidebar. Why are people still going to Trump's speeches like, I get it, I get it, that's your dude, But you know what he gonna say? He said, it's such Donald Trump is a comedian that ain't changed his act in years.
You know what he gonna do. Liberal media be doing.
This and Joe Biden, Joe Biden and them, they be doing this.
Y'all know I ain't lying.
Come on, no djin kicking.
The only.
The only thing, the only thing that changes year to year with Trump is who his enemy is. And for this fight, he's got two new ones.
In a defiant speech at mar A Lango, the former president claimed he's a victim and targeted the prosecutor and judge in the case.
They can't beat us at the ballot box, so they try and beat us through the law. The criminal is the district attorney.
I have a.
Trumpeting judge with the Trump hating wife and family.
Who who you know go to trial and talk shit about the judge. That's bold. The judge could destroy you. He could destroy you when.
You rolling them up.
You about to fight cocaine bad.
You don't offer him crack first.
And he didn't just call out the judge, Trump called out the kids. You don't pull the ki and even rappers don't go after the kids, and they murder each other. And and Trump said, the man has a Trump Hayden wife. But to be fair, to be fair, I don't even know if that was an insult because Donald Trump also has a Trump Hayten wife. Well, you can't tell me, Milania don't hate that man. If anything, this week was confirmation if y'all think, let me ask you have said.
During Donald Trump's forty five minutes as a political prisoner, where was his wife? So many people noticed the former First Lady, the former president's wife, Belania Trump, was not in attendance last night.
His wife, former First Lady Milania.
Trump, she was not there.
Among the guests were ardent Trump supporters, including Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green and the My Pillow founder Mike Lindell. One person noticeably absent last night was former First Lady Milania Trump.
Even the pillow salesman showed up for the speech, but his own wife didn't show up. And the speech was at the house. Melania didn't even come downstairs. She just she opened up the bedroom door. Oh, you're back from prison already. Now, look, we're making jokes. We're making jokes, but there's nothing funny about a former first lady not showing up to a husband's speech where he's complaining about
getting arrested for lying about paying off a porn stock. Frankly, I'm concerned about Milania's whereabouts, so we launched a search for it. And that search is being headed by a very own dull say sloan, Dn'll say, We'll say, they'll say you're in flor you're in called to do? Yes, we are. We are very poor dus. Now, I mean, why you down there on the coast. Are there any signs of Milannia down there? Oh?
Not yet.
You know, I've been looking for her at the beach all day, and after this, I'm gonna look for her at brunch, and then I might go look for her at the front row of a magic mic show.
You know, I'm vigially, you know, vigil antsy out here.
Yeah, ain't the magic mic show in Las Vegas. I think you're taking advantage of the corporate expense account. We'll talk about that later, but first, let's let's just while I got you, let's just talk about this whole thing. Don't you think that Millennia should leave Donald Trump? I mean the man was paying hush money to poorn stars.
Roy, Roy, Roy, you don't understand, son. The hush money was for Millennia. She's the reason he didn't want people to know about Stormy Daniels ship. If he wasn't married, his campaign slogan would have been a porn star.
Okay, okay, before Malonnia, he paid a four star one hundred and thirty thousand dollars to know a love like that?
Oh?
Okay, you know what I mean.
It's you know, it's kind of romantic for a man to just break bread like that.
Okay, Okay, I got you. So then, so then you think Malania should stay with.
Donald No, he cheat on her with a porn star. Come on, I've dumped men for a lot less. I broke up with a guy last week because he left me a voicemail.
A voicemail, sir, what year do you think this is? Just leave a.
Comment on my TikTok I an adult grandpa.
Okay, So I see what you're saying. So then you think Milania should have dumped Trump back in twenty sixteen? Gotcha?
Oh?
Hell no, listen, uncle Roy, are you listening in? Why would she dump him when he just got elected? L presidente?
You cheat on me? You think I'm gonna let some poor.
Starvey the first lady with the hell now, nah, bitch, I'm getting a portrait Okay, a real one with paint and shit.
Okay, okay, okay, I'm talking about a canvas the Eagle, and we're gonna sit there for seven hours and look happy.
Dammit.
Okay, doing every which way, didn't do? Say, just tell me what the hell should Malania do?
Then you should be doing what you've been doing.
Take advantage of Trump when he's president and when he's not, let his ass twist in the wind while you're at home watching Martin.
Ree runs and banging these pool boards.
Okay, I mean she's doing.
It tomorrow, lagga, right now?
Wait, so you know what she is?
Why are you running up an expense account over my week?
What you what?
This is my week hosting and you're running up to build with all this travel.
Come on, wow, this is how you treat a black woman.
That's no, no, no, that's not how a minute black women's historymo.
No no, no, no no no no no, no, no, no, no no no, that's not hif minutes, whack's not high minutes?
Why that's not no no no, no no limit.

It's one of the original kings of comedy. He's also the starr and executive producer of the hit CBS series The Neighborhood, which will soon celebrate its one hundredth episode. Please welcome subject to the entertainer.
Oh gee, no.
Girl, Before before we talk about anything, Oh gee, let me just ask a serious question off the rep man. What is your annual budget on hats?
The hat budget is, you know, it's first whatever it is, and then I take care of the kids, school and all that.
Coul tell me a hat.
I never see a hat repeat itself.
It's just hats, just a punch of hat.
Does your wife have any room for her shoes?
That that's the constant battle against her shoes. I've lost. I definitely lose in that battle for jud Now.
I had the honor of doing you know, morning radio in Birmingham for almost fifteen years and a lot of comedians, a lot of ogs came through when I was young in the game. And something that I peeped about you all. Y'all always came in town when you had the time. You come in town to day early, Yeah, and go to the Black Mall, parlay with the people, do your shows. Then on Saturday when you can sleep in the hotel, go to the black barbershops. Yeah, parlay with the people.
You're one of the most universally loved people in entertainment talked about. It goes you Sindbad and Hamburgers in terms and and I mean this seriously, what could politicians learn from comedians on just getting love from people and just interacting with folks?
I mean, you know, really, you can't do it just at the time of that you're running for office or whatever.
I mean.
The idea is just actually, you know, making contact with people, looking people, I feeling that vibe, you know, understanding who they are. You know, you see people out there Green New York. This I got this from jay Z.
I see you Green New York had clap. You can breaking out you want to know if you feel you know, all right, yeah, I see you.
Lake clap, Okay, lake clap over there and then they go, wow, I'm gonna vote.
I'mmiliar because it's on my hat.
So the Neighborhood, Yeah, congratulations on one hundred episode, first and foremost, and you're directing the one hundredth episode of this television program. And The Neighborhood. I've always been a fan of it because it's a show that positions itself within the issue of gentrification and not addressing the bigger issue, but just what it means to be a black person in a black neighborhood and that white person come in and you figuring out how to keep your culture while
also learning about someone else's in the writer's room. How are you all able to toe that line on that issue and make it so palpable for everybody?
It was always the thing with the show.
I mean, you know, it was interesting because when the show first came to me, it was here comes the Neighborhood, and I was like, oh, wait a minute, so that's a whole nother attitude right there.
I'm like, I'm already there.
The neighborhood already exists, right, So, you know, it was one of those things where, you know, we wanted to be able to tell that story of like how you feel when when things come.
You do want growth in your neighborhood.
You do want a Starbucks and the whole foods, but you don't want to do that without losing the culture, you know what I'm saying. So you know, and that's the really how we tell the story. We got great actors. Max Greenfield plays Davis, just you know, legendary funny man killing it to Shina Arnolbeth Bears, Marcel Spears, we kill it man s.
So now talk about directing.
What was that like?
Because the episode premiere is next week, but what was that like to sit behind that camera and go you do this.
And go get me a water?
Motherfuck?
That was it? That was it. That's what That's what everybody loved. I was like, Yo, you know the director, you know you actually you get to paint the picture. That's what I say.
You know, you're the one that's kind of literally literally putting all the colors on the canvas and just and so you know, you get to you get to tell people just for no reason. I don't like to tie. I don't like the time, lose the tie, you know what't not the tie?
Good? Keep you tie on, you know so, but.
You know, but actually it was that kind of thing where I got great actors. You really just give them the best place to deliver and get off. And that's what I really learned as a director. For the most part I've been doing I've directed a couple of episodes of The Neighborhood and then The soul Man that I used to have on my other show with NISI, And so you know, that's that's the idea, really just finding that place where a comic can get off or an actor and just like show them, you know, show.
Them where they need to be for it to happen.
Well, I can't thank you enough for what you've done for not just the culture of entertainment, but also just the culture stand up comedy. And it's not something that you two your horn about. It's not something that you talk about a lot publicly. But I want to give you flowers today, o G. Because you know, people try to measure stand up comedians on the worth of well, who had the best special and who had the best jokes.
But behind the scenes at this same show, The Neighborhood, you have staffed and employed so many people, black, white women, just so many people. And there's so many comedians. Yeah, you know, it's one thing to be someone in this industry and create a great comedy special. But I measure the worth of a comedian by how many homeowners does he create within his team. And it's a bunch of them over there. Thank you so much. Set the entertaining everybody.
Yeah, the one.
Hundredth episode of the Neighborhood as April tenth, and Phibs and Paramount Plus.
