Let me ask, so this gentleman had a question for you.

And I was like, I would ask you, but I feel like he'll never get this moment to speak to you and ask you himself. So please, what's your name, sir? My name is Adrian from the Bronx. Adrian here is former vice president, Al Gore. You have a moment with him. Please ask him your very important question. Mr. Gore, so as most of us are aware, South Park here about Comedy Central, has done a, their interpretation of yourself running around, claiming that there's a man bear pig out there.

So I just wanted to ask you if you've seen this and what are your books? Well, now this is not part of the show, right? Unless you change your mind. So, 12 years ago they did that episode that had me hysterically warning about a non-existent problem, Man Bear Pig. And for years I get this question. So now, all of a sudden, a few weeks ago, out of the blue, they come out with these new episodes and the kids on South Park realize Man Bear Piggy is real.

And they come... Honestly, I was so impressed. I don't know these guys Matt and Trey, and I kind of thought they were Nealists of sort. But funny, Nealists. And when they came out with this new thing, and they of thought they were Neelists of sorts, but funny Nealists. And when they came out with this new thing and they had the kids come and seek me out to help them, but my character forces them to apologize. And they all say, oh we're so sorry Al Gore, man Bear Pig is real. I thought it was a hell of a statement by South Park and I appreciated it a lot. us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, and subscribe to the Daily Show on YouTube for
