And since she is a black mother, don't be surprised if the interview ends with her giving me an ass-whopping. But first, let's catch up on today's headlines. Amazon. tocom. It's one of the internet's most popular non-pornographic websites. And it could be coming to a city near you. Amazon making a decision on the location of its second headquarters.

Amazon is reportedly going to split their second headquarters between two cities. Long Island City right here in New York and Crystal City in Northern Virginia. That's 50,000 jobs between those two locations. And the Wall Street Journal is also reporting there may be other major Amazon hubs to come elsewhere in the country. Finally, something that's going to put New York and DC on the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their second their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their is their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. Finally, something that's going to put New York and DC on the map. Yes. You know seeing New York and D.C. land a new office complex it's sort of like watching Bill Gates win the lottery it's like congrats I guess. And it'll be interesting to see how Amazon changes New York, but really I want to see how New York changes Amazon. I give it six months before they're like, yeah, we got a return policy.

It's called, shut the fuck up, tough guy. Get the shit out of here. And with tax incentives and grants, New York is paying Amazon more than $1.5 billion to move here. And yet somehow, they can't afford to fix the subway, yeah? I mean not that we'll need the subway anymore, you can just Amazon prime yourself to work. It was like, oh man, why do I choose two-day delivery? Moving on, everyone knows high school prom photos are incredibly embarrassing, especially for me because I had to take my cousin to prom, who is a giraffe.

I'm sorry, I don't know why my ride says keep giving me these dumb Africa jokes. I had a normal prom date with a zebra named Deborah, or as you say here, Dibra. The point is, prom photos should be embarrassing, not offensive. Police in Wisconsin are investigating a disturbing prom photo that's led to growing international outrage. The photo appears to show more than 30 male high school students making a Nazi salute. The image was posted on Twitter Sunday night and quickly spread. One student in the photo did not participate,

but says the gestures were intentional. First of all, congratulations to that one kid. We're congratulating a kid for not being a Nazi. Like what were these kids even thinking? They had to know that the photo was going to get out. And they aren't enough jobs in the Trump administration for all of them. Come on. What are you guys thinking?

And this right here is why I don't wave, I don't do the okay, I don't do finger guns. The safest bet is just to go, good afternoon, how are you, grandma? That's what we do from now on. In other news, remember all those kids who are eating tide pods? Well now they have something to wash them down. Parents now raising concerns about tide laundry detergent, they say the new packaging resembles a box. The detergent will now come in a the the the the the the their. the their. the their. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I. I, thiole, thiole, thiol, thiol, th. thoome, thiolome. I, thoome, thoome, thoome, thoome, thoomorrow, thoom, thoom, thoom, thoom, th. I, th. I, th. I, th, th, th. I, th. I, the, th. I, th. I, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the. I'ea. I'm toea. Wea. I'm toea. Wea. I'm thea. Wea. I'm in a cardboard box with a twist to open the spout. Procter and Gamble says the box will have a picture of a tide bottle on it and a label, warning parents to keep it stored away from children.

Okay, I get that the box looks like wine, but why are parents worried that their kids are going to mistake Tide for a box of wine. For starters, why is your child drinking wine? Children should be drinking wine coolers. Come on. It's called parenting. And also, what kind of kids would be stupid enough to drink detergent? You know what? Let's don't even answer that question.

Let's move on to our main story. The midterms. Much like any trip to Ikea, they're lasting way longer than expected. It took until last night for Arizona to declare Democrat Kirsten Cinema, the winner of the Senate race there. In Georgia, in Georgia, they're still trying to figure out who won the governor's race. And in Alabama, Roy Moore was only this morning declared Jefferson High's freshman class president. So congratulations to Roy Moore. But the real post-eeelection-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-election-election-election-e-e-e-election-e-e-e-e-e-election-election-election-election-election-election-election-election-election-election-election-election-election-election-election-efficecki-a-a-a-a-mue-mueuui-ni-ni-nease, toease, toease, toease, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe-n, toe-n, toe-n, the real post-election day drama is happening, as always, in Florida. The Florida of states.

Both the Senate and the governor's races are too close to call. And the Republicans there aren't handling the stress well. Republicans from the president on down are united in their attempt to stop counting votes in Florida's Senate and gubernatorial elections before the final tally. I will not sit idly by while unethical liberals try to steal this election. Donald Trump today echoing the baseless claims of Florida governor and Senate candidate Rick Scott who accused election staff in Broward County with no evidence of fraud. President Trump tweeting today an honest vote count is no longer possible.

Ballots massively infected, must go with election night. But if Trump is saying this about an election that he's not a part of, imagine if he loses in 2020. Like, he's going to be hold up in the Oval Office like Scarface. He'll be sitting behind the desk with a couple of oozes. Killy Ann Conner is going to be manning the machine, the machinethem with an unpinned grenade. I took this out. I'm so strong And now the truth is Trump and Scott are lying. Nobody's stealing the election, but that doesn't mean that Florida doesn't have big issues with its voting. All over Florida, the election commissioner in Broward County, who has been doing a great job of screwing up people's votes.

Dr. Brenda Snipes is feeling heat from all sides. Her office sent out this sample ballot, which looks nothing like the actual ballot. And the actual ballot had the US Senate race tucked under the instructions on the left the theaugh-s,000 voters left that pivotal race blank. She counted 22 provisional ballots that had already been rejected. Have there been mistakes? Um, there have been issues that did not go the way we wanted.

Uh, that was the pause of a woman who was mentally growing through a thesaurus to try and find a word for mistake that wouldn't get her fired. They have been blunders, gaffs, faux pot, let's call it a boo-boo, an electoral boo-boo. But yes, thanks to Brenda Snipes and her weird ballot design, 25,000 voters didn't even notice the Florida Senate race on their ballots. And remember, the margin in this race is currently sitting at 12,000 votes, so this would have changed it. So Brenda Screw Up has definitely affected Florida's Senate results. But I will say this, even if the Senate ballot wasn't a weird place on

the form, how as a voter are you leaving that voting booth without voting for the main thing? Like what kind of person doesn't check their voting form? When I go to Olive Garden I flip over the menu just to make sure I didn't miss anything. Just be like oh yeah and the breadsticks, the breadsticks also. The Senate race was the most important race and yet thousands of people went and voted for everything else. They're like, the the Senate, tho, thia, thia, thia, thia, thia, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, th. th. tho, th. tho, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, th. Like, what, thi, like, They're like, yeah, agricultural minister, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then they just left out Senate, really? I mean, I sort of understand, because like one time my grandfather, he sent me to the pharmacy to get his insulin, and then I came back with shampoo, gum, and people magazine. And then he was like, where's my insulin?

And I was like, I forgot the most the most the most the most the most the most the most the most the most the most forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot the most the most the most the most th. And then he died and we laughed. It's a joke, it's a joke. He didn't die because of that. That was just a joke. He died for other reasons. It was the shampoo, he was allergic. And the thing is, it's not just the Democrats in South Florida that are messing up. It's the entire state, including the Republicans. New Tenai reports that about 150 panhandle residents, hurricane victims, voted by email, which is illegal. The county supervisor elections telling NBC News, anyone who challenges the use of email

ought to be ashamed to take votes away from people who went through this disaster. Okay, now look, I sympathize with people who were displaced by the hurricane. But that doesn't mean one guy can just make up new ways to vote. I mean, where do we draw the line? What if someone says, hey, I was also out of town from the hurricane, but I left a thumbs up emoji on Instagram, that counts, right? That counts. It can't just make up rules. Because basically in Florida, the Florida, because, the their is is is is is is is is is is is is their, their, their, their, their, their, th. thaurary. tha. tha. tha. thiurador. thia. thoomk. thoomorrow, thoomorrow, thoomorrow, thi. thoes. thoes. thoes. thoes. thoes. thoes. thoes. thoes. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. the th. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. toe. toea. toea. toea. toea. toea. toea. toea. tooooooooooooooooooooooo like the people of Florida, it turns out the recount machines are old and falling apart.

Monday morning, one of the tabulators stopped counting ballots. Staff moved those ballots to their emergency backup machine. An hour into that process, though, that machine also stopped working properly. There's certainly some hiccups here today. Basically one of the buttons on one of the machines machines machines machines machines machines the machines the machines the machines the machines the machines the machines the machines the machines the machines the buttons on one of the machines was pushed incorrectly. It's old equipment that's not made anymore, so if one of the eight machines breaks down, there are no spares. What the fa'c. Florida? The state is so bad at elections. For starters,

I'm pretty sure that they're using deli slices to recount the votes. Like what is that machine? The winner of Palm Beachers, half a pound of smoked. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the the thiolki. thi. the thi. thiol-s, thoomk, thoom, thiol-s, thiol-s, thi. thi. thi. thi. the votes. Like what is that machine? The winner of Palm Beach is half a pound of smoked ham. Well the people have spoken, congratulations, Senator Ham. Look at this point it's pretty clear. Florida will never have its shit together when it comes to voting. So this is what I think. I think America has to start planning for that. You know that one friend of yours is always late, so you got to them everything starts earlier than it does? Yeah? You be. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. the the the the th. the th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the the. the. the. the. the. the. the. th. th everything starts earlier than it does? Yeah? You'd be like, yeah, yeah, dinner starts at three. No, no, it starts at three. That's what America has to do with Florida, okay? Next time the election comes, just be like, everybody see you in November. Florida, you assholes vote in July. We'll be right back. John Stewart here. Unbelievably. John Stewart here.

Jennifer Lewis, the mother of Black Hollywood. There could not be a more aptitle for this book, for who you are. Because wherever you go, you have an energy that resonates about you. Many black people know you from some of the most famous iconic black movies, but now, because of shows like Blackish, your faces everywhere. People recognize you everywhere.

You go, why the mother of Black Hollywood? Well, you know, I did 68 movies. And I think 60 of them, I'm playing somebody's mama. Everybody's mama from Whitney Houston to Tupac Shakur to Taraji P. Henson. I mean I played everybody's mama. Tina Turner, everybody. Who was your favorite mama to play? Wow, see? Now you're going to get me in trouble.

I think it would have to be Taraji. Oh, really? She went toe toe with me, baby. She's an amazing actress, oh, she's amazing. But I would end end the the the the the then then then then then then then then then the the the the the the the the the the the the the the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, toe, toe, toe, toe, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, too, too, toe toe with me, baby. She's an amazing actress, yeah. Oh, she's amazing. But I would end the scene, and then she'd come back at me. And then I'd go back at her. She won. What I love about this book is, you tell her so many stories, I mean, like, for instance, working with Whitney Houston. You know, you talked about Whitney, to be a a they, their, their, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, they, and, and, and, they, they, they, they, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, the..... the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the peak of her fame. And there's a story in the book about how Whitney didn't want to come out

because it was like a cold day and it was snowing. Oh yeah, it was it was record-breaking storms here in New York. Right. Blizzards, upon blizzard, and so they had to, their up for a scene way high. And Whitney didn't show. So they would have had to, would have had, would have had, would have had, whad to wash had, whad to wash, washed, washed, washed, washed, washed, washed, washed, washed, washed, washed, washed, washed, washed, washed, washed, washed, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to.e. to. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. to. they would have had to wash my hair in that cold-ass trailer. And then fix it for another scene. Oh, honey, I called her.

I said, look, girl, this ain't no concert, little girl. Yeah, this is a team you get your ass over here. And this is exactly what she says. Mama, Mama, I can't get out of the garage. The snow is up to the door, Mama. Mama, I'm so sorry. I say, yeah, well, I guess I believe you. Get out! She, Whitney Houston, Whitney Houston, Oh God, I loved her.

She was the sweetest little thing. Right was the sweetest little thing. And a hot head. She was sweet. She'd come over. You know, she was always a little insecure about her acting. And of course, she'd come over to me. Shit, I didn't know what I was doing either. But we became very good friends.

And I will say this. I was being interviewed by a journalist in the back of the church when we were, thead. thead. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. And, th. th. And, th. th. the, the the, the the the, the, the, the, the, the, thi, thi, thi, thi, the, thi, and thi, and thi, and a thi, and a th. And, and a th. And, and a, and a, and a, and a, and a, and a, and a, and a, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the the the the the, the, the the, the. theat theat theat theat theat theat theat theat theat, theat, theat, theat, thi. And, theat, the. And, and I will say this. I was being interviewed by a journalist in the back of the church when we were, she was singing in the choir stand. And he was asking me questions. And he said, so what do you think of her? I said, darling, I never took my eyes off of her because she was doing what she does best, which was to sing gospel. She came right out of the church. Right.

So I said to the journalist, darling, her voice is the eighth wonder of the world. Wow. Hush. Wow. Sure did. That's what every single story in this book feels like. It feels like you were there living through times and periods, you know, like some of the most memorable moments, some of the most memorable periods, but not just in acting as well.

I mean, what I loved about the book is how you talk about your life journey. You know, I came to know Jennifer Lewis through movies and then over time, you know, you see a Broadway, you the broad the broad the broad the broad, you see, the broad, the broad, the broad, the broad, th, th, th, th and the th and thinterm, the thintermue, thintermse, thin, thin, their thin, thin, thi, throwne, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, th. the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, throwne an throwne and, throwne and. And, throwne andough, throomorrow, throwne andough, throomorrow, throomorrow, talking about your personal life, the journey that you went through personally. Yeah, you're larger than life, but you had to come to grips with the fact that you were suffering from being bipolar. Absolutely, absolutely. Why was it a struggle for you to accept that? Well, you know, I came from poverty. I sang my first solo in church when I was five years old, and from the reaction of the congregation, I knew what I wanted to do with my life instantly. And I had a little something in front of my name. My family calls me Jenny. I had a little word in front of my name. Here comes crazy, Jenny.

Well, I thought I was special for being crazy. I thought I was fabulous, right? Well, we didn't know about bipolar disorder back then. And then I went on to college and when I got to New York, I realized I had a sex addiction and how dangerous it really was, especially back in those days. How I didn't get AIDS, I don't know, but I had many, many friends who did pass away. And left New York, went out on the road to Bettmette as a Harlot and my behavior was still out of control but let me tell you what

saved me. I had a dream even when they were passing cocaine around I was like what's that? He said that's Coke baby. I said oh how do you do it? He said well you put a lint you take it up and thank God I asked this next question. I said, what happens next? He said, well, you'll feel a little drip down your throat. I said, man, I got a matinee tomorrow. I ain't putting shit on my throat. Ha ha ha ha ha. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! that! that! th! th! that! that, that, that, th! th! th! th! What, th! What, th! What, th! What, th! What, th! What, th! What th! What th! What th! What th! What th! What th! What th! What th! What th! What th! What th! What th! What th! What th! What, th! What th! What, th! What th! What th! th! that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that thi! that that th can only think of is mighty, it was a mighty dream. I wanted to entertain, I loved people.

I was only going to go so far in acting out. So I couldn't hurt the voice, nor the body. It was the dream that made me not act out too much that I would hurt myself. But you had to go, you had to go to therapy and that was something that in the book you really dig into is like how difficult it was for yourself not just as a performer, not just as an adult but also as a black person to admit that therapy was something you needed because in black communities for a long time therapy is............ And. And, the, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, and I's, I's, thi. And, thi. And, thi. thi. thr-a, thr-s. thr-a. thr-augh, thr-s. thr-a. thr-a. thr-a. thr-a. thr communities for a long time, therapy is something that is considered for crazy people. Absolutely, there's such a stigma. And what I found out, touring with my book around the country,

what I found out, guys, is that people really want to know. They're ready to speak up. They just have to be encouraged. We are as sick as our secrets. I'll say it over and over and over again. So people, the churches are starting to have counseling sessions and if your church is not, then bring it up. Bring it up.

Start coming together. Yes, I have a sex addiction. Yes, I'm an alcoholic. Yes, I'm an alcoholic. Yes, I'm a drug addict. Yes, I'm on opioids. Yes, I need help. And we've got to help each other, but I'm going to say something. You reach out to people about three times and then leave them alone because they'll kill you. No, no, no, I'm not kill you, but you can't save someone's someone else's life. Right. You cannot. But, but you, but you, but you, but you, but you thine, but you thine, but you thine, but you can't, but you can't, but you can't save someone else's life. Right.

You cannot, but you can certainly reach out. When you look through your own book, you know, it's a powerful experience when you write about your life as you have lived it. When you read the book from cover to cover, are there moments where you look at that you wish you could change, or are the things that you wish you could relive? Not one. I have not one regret. Okay it was that one man in Chicago but you know other than that. That one man in Chicago you know he was from Chicago anyway. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. But no, you know when I got to LA here this is great I don't think I've ever said this before or for that matter put it together., to to to to to to to that, to that, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I that, I that, I that, I have that, I have that that that, I have that, I was that, that that that that that that that that that that that, that, that, that, that one, that, that, that, that that that that, that that that that, that, that, that that that, that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that the, I the, I that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that got to LA, here, this is great, I don't think I've ever said this before, or for that matter, put it together. Well, I have put it together.
