You're listening to Comedy Central. When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television. Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives. But that's all about to change. Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible. I'm Seth Done of CBS News.

Listen to 60 Minutes, a second look on Apple podcasts starting September 17. President Trump wasn't the only person giving a speech tonight. After he finished his state of the union, Michigan Governor, Gretchen Whitmer gave the Democrats response speech in English. Texas Representative Veronica Escobar gave the Democrats response in Spanish and then Berok gave the speech in Spanish again, but much worse. And as you know, we here at the Daily Show have our own annual response where we cover

the issues that have special importance to black America. So please rise, but not really. You can just clap as Roywood Jr. delivers the Daily Show's annual State of the Black Shit Address. Good evening, black people, African Americans, people of color, and really tan Italian people. I'm Roywood Jr. and I'm coming to you from one of America. Good evening, black people. African Americans. People of color and really tan Italian people. A Broadway junior and I'm coming to you from one of America's blackest places. A Popeyes and St. Louis owned by Cedric the Entertainer.

Tonight, we black people are gathered here to once again ask ourselves the question. Where we is. Now, we can't deny. We had some setbacks in 2019. Let's start with this presidential race. All of our black candidates are gone. Carmola, gone, Corey, gone. Deval Patrick.

Come on, he basically, hey, he's. Right now, the blackest person in the race is Andrew Yang. And no, he is not related to the Ying Yang twins. I made that same mistake. But by campaigning on giving all Americans $1,000 a month, Yang is doing one of the blackest things, promising to hook everybody up before he even got the damn job. Y'all know how we do. That is how we do.

One time I applied for a job at Best Buy, I texted a half of Birmingham. I was like, hey, who on the Blu-ray of Frozen? It's on me. Now, of course, one of Black America's biggest setbacks happened at the beginning of 2019. The infamous case of Justice Mollett, what the hell was that boy doing? I don't know it was more messed up, a black man faking the hate crime or the fact that he went out at 2 a.m. to go eat at subway. Just so you're black. Make yourself a syrup sandwich and go back to bed. But, but 2019 wasn't all bad. As usual, black excellence overflowed in the world of entertainment.

Tyler Perry opened one of the largest movie studios in the country. Spike Lee won his first Oscar. Billy Porter won an Emmy and every red carpet. He walked on. And of course, and of course, Little Nars X. That boy made the biggest country hit of the year. That's right, we finally got one. We got us a country hit.

This must be how white people felt when vanilla ice came out. And... And... Let's also not forget about Lizzo. She sang, she rapped, she twirked, and she did the unthinkable. She made playing the flute, Black is Hell. That's how good Lizzo is. Lizzo can turn any white thing into a black thing. I bet you on her next album, she's just going to be speaking to a manager at the gap. In sports.

In sports, we celebrate Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes, whose last minute comeback propelled him to victory against the San Francisco 49th. And yes, I know everybody keeps reminding you that Patrick Mahomes is half white, but it must have been his black side that won the game because it showed up late in the fourth quarter. We also, we also congratulate sister Megan Marco, who made him. We also congratulate Sister Megan Markle who made history by telling the royal family to shove that crown up their ass. We say thank you. We say thank you to Miss Markle. America is now two and old versus the British Empire. That's what you get. That's what you get for that Stamp Act, bitches, and we stole Idris Elbe. This brings me to the future of black shit and what's in store for us in the

year 2020. This year we're going to be supporting black businesses, cheering on sister Simone Biles at the Olympics and going to political rallies and record numbers to support our candidates, but mostly just to see if th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the if the if the if the the the to see the the the to see the the the the the the the the the the the the theck theck theck and theck and the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the to to to to to to toe an toean. toean. toean. toean. toean. toean. toean. thean. thea. thea. thea. thea going to political rallies and record numbers to support our candidates. But mostly just to see if Obama show up because we miss him. So black citizens, when you ask the question, where we is? I stand here to say to you all, the state of black shit is woo-got damn. God bless you all, God bless black people, and God bless the series finale of power on stars. I gotta go.
