I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday?

Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. November 11, 2019. From Comedy Central's World News headquarters in New York, this is the Daily Show with Trevor Noah, Ears Edition. Welcome to thank you for coming out. Wow! This is amazing. This is amazing. Let's do it. Let's make the show.

I'm Trevor Noah. Tonight, we have two guests joining us on the show. First up, one of the Democrats who will be leading impeachment hearings this week. Congressman Jim Hymns is on the show. Also, on tonight's episode, dead people are sending texts. Gender reveals are getting even more dangerous and the billionaire who wants to buy the White House. So let's catch up on today's headlines. Today is Veterans Day.

A day when many take a moment to celebrate heroes who have put their lives on the line to fight for their country. But for those who are actively serving, there's another reason to celebrate today. The Marines are ending their 200-year ban on umbrellas. All Marines will now be allowed to carry umbrellas while wearing service or dress uniforms. Umbrellas must be small, black, and carried in the left hand to allow for a proper salute. Yes, that's right. The Marines can now use umbrellas.

And I'll be honest, I didn't even know there was a no umbrellas rule for the Marines. But it makes sense. It makes sense. Because if you're a Marine and you have an umbrella and it flips inside out, you've gone from badass to Mr. Bean. There's no cool anything there. There's nothing cool about that. Because umbrellas just aren't tough. Right? I don't care who, like imagine Braveheart holding an umbrella. They can take our lives.

But if my hair gets wet, it turns into an Afro. I will say this, though, whenever they're going into a mission, they can just marry Poppins their way into a war zone. Yeah, the enemy will be looking up like, Commander, we are getting attacked or we're getting a new nanny. Either way, it's going to be bad. All right, but let's move on. Let's move on to the fad that's been sweeping sweeping sweeping day, they're getting crazier and crazier.

Explosions, alligators, shooting sound waves into a woman's belly to see if there's a penis. This shit is crazy now. But over the weekend, one gender reveal in Texas may have finally gone too far. The excited parents to be on the ground as the plane approaches. A crop-dusting plane dropping 350 gallons of pink water. It's a girl. But minutes later, I have a plane crash just north of Brown v. Cannon's place. It all goes terribly wrong, crashing into this mangled heap of metal.

The plane was carrying two people, but only designed for one. Pilot is out of the aircraft. Damn patient number if you want to, is going to be a male, denying any injuries. Wow. That seemed more like a pilot revealed party. Guess what, guys? I'm actually not a pilot. Or maybe this was the parents were revealing that the baby was an accident. Maybe that was the parents were revealing that the baby was an accident. Maybe that was the whole thing.

I'm actually glad. I'm actually glad that everybody survived because that is wild. And can we agree on something? Can we agree on something? Can we agree on something? You know you've gone too far if your gender reveal planning sounds the same as an ISIS plot, all right? If you're walking around like, all right, thi, th, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, th, to, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, I thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm, I'm thi, I'm th. I'm th. I'm that, I'm, I'm, I'm, I I'm, I'm, I I'm, I I'm, I I I'm, I I I'm, I I I I I I I I I I I I I I, I, I I I I I I I I, I I I, I, I I, I, I I, I I, I, I I'm th... I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm actually thi. th th thi. th th th th th th th th th th th thi th thi thi thi. that's that thi. I'm actually thi, we need some gunpowder and an airplane. That's what we need. Seriously, it's getting out of hand. I remember back in the day when gender reveal just meant some guy in a park would

rock up in a trench coat and reveal his gender to you. Those were simpler times. So simple. So simple. And finally, in technology news, if you got dumped this year because your ex said you didn't communicate enough, it's, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, it's thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, I thi, I thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, if you got dumped this year because your ex said you didn't communicate enough, it might not have been your fault. If you received a mysterious text message this week from someone unexpected, you were not alone. This happened to a lot of people yesterday. They reported they received messages that appear to have originally been sent on or around

Valentine's Day this year. One person tweeted, so at 2.30 this morning, my phone thirty, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th said, the, the, the, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, because thi, because thi, because thi, because thi, because thi, because thi, because thi, because thi, because thi, because thi, because thi, because thi, because thi, because thi, because thi, because thi, because thi, because thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii thi thi thi thi thi th have originally been sent on or around Valentine's Day this year. One person tweeted, so at 2.30 this morning, my phone decided to send a text to my ex-girlfriend from nine months ago. She made this really sweet video of us for Valentine's Day. She thought I didn't respond, so that led to, among other things, a ruin holiday. So you know, that's how today is going. Man, this story is crazy. Apparently, a bunch of text messages sent on Valentine's Day only got to people's phones now. Yeah, it's a huge glitch that affected thousands of people.

Nobody knew about it. And now it's in the news. And I bet a lot of guys are using this as an excuse. Like, oh wait, wait, you didn't get that giant bouquet and that diamond necklace that I texted you? Oh my God, AT&T, man. AT&T. But yeah, a bunch of Valentine's text didn't go through, and it sucks. But I'm gonna be honest, if your relationship ended over a missed text, maybe that was the best. You dodge the bullets.

Because I don't care what anybody says. Texting is supposed to be casual. It's not about an immediate response. That's why this isn't a problem for old people. They still send love letters in the mail. You know, it'll be like, tap that tight brand muffin of yours, respectfully, Harold. The craziest part of the story, and this is completely true, the craziest part of the story, is that some people got text messages from people who have since died.

Yeah, that has got to be the most awkward booty call ever. You imagine just in your phone, it's like, you up? You're like, are you up? All right, that's it for the headlines. Let's move on to our top story. We're now just 357 days away from the 2020 presidential election. And yet, there are still a ton of Democrats in this race. I mean, look at all those faces. Look at all those faces.

The field is more packed than Idris Albert's DMs. He's married people, leave him alone. But despite this crowded field, another big name is preparing to jump into the race. So, let's catch up on the latest primary developments in our ongoing segment, World War D. Right now, the Democratic Party has an option for everyone. There's moderates, there's progressives, there's X-Men, and there's even a guy who's worth $1.6 billion. There's moderates, there's progressives, there's X-Men, and there's even a guy who's worth 1.6 billion dollars. But what if 1.6 billion dollars just isn't rich enough for some voters? Well then those people might be in luck.

The Democratic race for president appears to be heating up this morning. Former New York City mayor and billionaire businessman Michael Bloomberg filing filing paperwork on Friday to get on the ballot for the Alabama primary. While he's not officially in the race yet, Bloomberg wants to keep his options open, and now he wants to ensure President Trump is defeated in 2020. His spokesman telling NBC News, Mike is increasingly concerned the current field of candidates is not well positioned to do that. I have my reservations about the people running and the way they're campaigning and and the promises they're making that they can can can can't th th th th th th th th th th th their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their the about the people running and the way they're campaigning and the promises

they're making that they can't fulfill and their unwillingness to really admit what is possible and what isn't. Yes, Michael Bloomberg, former New York City mayor and world's richest house elf is on the verge of jumping into the Democratic primary because he doesn't think any of the current candidates can beat Trump. And you have to admit, that's such a billionaire thing to do, right? No, because if a normal person is worried about someone's incompetence, like, what do we do? We just hope for the best, right? We just be like, I don't think this pilot can land the plane. Oh, I'm going to pray and tak thak thak thak thak thak tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha to pray, tha, to pray, to pray, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th. That's th. That's th. That's th. That's th. That's th. That's th. That's th. That's th. That's th. That's th. That's th. That's th. That's a a th. That's a th. That's a thi. That's a thi. That's a thi. That's a thi. That's a thi. That's a billioneea. That's a billiona''a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'text before Valentine's Day, oh my God, I hope they get it before Valentine's Day. Which is up to home.

Meanwhile, a billionaire's like, I just bought the plane and fired the pilot. Now I'll land it myself. It's like, do you know how to fly a plane? I can figure it out. I'm very rich. Like, why do billion Wayne. Gotham's crime was out of control. Instead of complaining about the cops, he was like, Alfred, build me a car that shoots grenades. I'll do this myself.

I'll just do it myself. So, billionaire Michael Bloomberg may be making a fashionably late entrance into the presidential race. And his fellow Democrats aren't exactly giving him a warm welcome. I think that Mike is expressing a concerninginginginginging a the caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa theira theira theira theira their their their their this their this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this is a this is a this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this. this. this. toe. toe. to toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. this. this. this. this. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. toe. toe. th. toe. toe. th. th. toe. toe. toe welcome. I think that Mike is expressing concern about this primary field and he should not have concern. This is a stark difference from someone that can just come in and plop down checks and buy a bunch of ads. I think people are going to see through it.

I think that our elections should not be something that are bought by billionaires. So tonight we say to Michael Bloomberg and other billionaires, sorry, you ain't gonna buy this election. Oh, man. I love Bernie Sanders. He does not mess around. You see that? He's shutting down Bloomberg. The way Popeyes employees be shutting down races. It's just like, sorry, you ain't down Bloomberg the way Popeye's employees him, he's shutting down races. It's just like, sorry, you ain't gonna buy this spicy sandwich if you say the end word.

And I see what Bernie and other Democrats are saying. The only reason it's even possible for Bloomberg to jump into the race so late isn't because he has like a ground swell of popular support behind him, it's that he has 53 billion dollars to spend. Yeah, 53 billion dollars. With that amount of money, Bloomberg could keep cloning different versions of himself until he finds the most electable one. He could be like, how about a tall Bloomberg? Or how about a buff Bloomberg?

What about a black Bloomberg? Oh, no, now I have to stop and frisk myself. And while the Democrats are not thrilled that Bloomberg has thrown his jockey cap into the ring, there's a Republican billionaire who seems very happy about this. There is nobody I'd rather run against than Little Michael. Little Michael will fail. He'll spend a lot of money. He's got some really big issues. He's got some personal problems and he's got a lot of other problems. But I know Michael Bloomberg

fairly well, fairly well, well enough. Well enough. Well enough. What do you do it? He will not do very well. I know him not too well. Fairly well, not too well. What? What are you doing? What are you doing? You know, it almost feels like Donald Trump tries to keep one foot out of the door on every friendship just in case that friend turns out to be a pedophile. That's what it feels like he's doing. I know him well, unless he's touching kids, then I've never met him, never met him. Now, some people may be wondering why Bloomberg is only joining the race now.

I mean, he told us back in March that he definitely wasn't running. So what changed his mind? Well, maybe all he needed was a little push from another member of the 0.001%. Michael Bloomberg, we know, taking steps to run for president, another billionaire reportedly, giving him a little push, little support. RICOT is reporting that Amazon's Jeff Bezos called Bloomberg to personally urge him to run. Wow.

Jeff Bezos told Bloomberg to run? You know you're rich when the Amazon guy ordered something from you. That's money. Like, whatever you think of Bloomberg, you have to admit it's not a great look for him and Jeff Bezos to be teaming up on this presidential run. I mean, can you even imagine what it sounds like when two guys with a combined net worth of $160 billion hatch a plan together? Can you just imagine what their phone call is like? Well, the good news is you don't have to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine to imagine what to to to to to to to to to $160 billion hatch a plan together. Can you just imagine what their phone call is like? Well, the good news is you don't have to imagine

because we managed to hack that call. Michael, it's the Zos. I'm sick of Democrats thinking us billionaires have too much money. Hold on for a second. Three million. Sorry, I'm buying another Picasso for my bathroom. It's so much softer than toilet paper. You're right, we are not piggy banks. Hold on, I have to switch from my daytime helicopter to my evening helicopter.

That's why you should run for president. Americans are hungry for a billionaire's sensible leadership. Like how my albino tiger is hungry for go-down meat. There you go, Wolf, this is a big decision. I'll let you know my answer at Illuminati bowling night. Okay, I gotta go schedule a funeral for a worker at my Amazon warehouse. Who died? I haven't decided yet. Not good, folks. We'll be right back. Finding great to hire. Finding great candidates to hire can be like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

I mean, talk about innovative.

Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. My first guest is one of the top Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee that is leading the impeachment's inquiry of President Trump. Welcome back to the Daily Show. My first guest is one of the top Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee that is leading the impeachment inquiry of President Trump and his appearance this weekend on Meet the Press went viral. Please welcome Connecticut Congressman Jim Himes. Thanks, please. Welcome back to the show. The first public impeachment hearings are in a couple of days in the planning of this event, this is going to be huge.

Have you thought of getting that guy who's going to come and be like, let's get ready to rumbo? Have you thought of that? I was just working on getting Anna Kendrick to come join us because that will improve our rating. It is a really, really big moment, not just for Congress, but for America as a whole. Now as we saw in that clip, you believe that Donald Trump has done something that is an impeachable offense. Many Democrats do.

In fact, more than half of the country believes in impeachment. Why do you think this was an impeachable offense? Well, there's two things going th that are impeachable. Number one is a corrupt abuse of power and that's the difference between Donald Trump as you just saw in that clip extorting essentially a foreign leader, a vulnerable foreign leader as we speak the Ukrainians are fighting the Russians and saying, as he so gracefully put it, we want you to do us a favor though and. And of course, at the same time, military aid is being held up, and a meeting in the White House, which is a big deal for the new president of Ukraine, is being held up.

That is, has nothing to do with our foreign policy. It has everything to do with the personal political interest of the President of the United States, and I don have an ambassador and the American public is going to hear from her on Friday. All three witnesses, diplomats who are as sharp, patriotic serving under Democratic and Republican administrations over the many, many years, veterans in some cases, who was fired. She was fired because some a weird combination of Rudy Giuliani and shady folks in Ukraine decided that she wasn't on Donald Trump's team. And that just can't happen.

You say it's not okay, and you specifically use the word extortion. It's interesting because quid pro quo has been the term that everybody's using. But you're not a fan of that phrase. Well, the main reason I'm not a fan of that phrase is that. And that, and that, and that, and the reason, and the reason, and the reason, and the reason, and the the the the the the the thrass, and thrown, and thrown, and thrown, and thrown, and thrown, and thrown, thr-a, thrown, thrown, thr-a, thr-a, thi, thi, thi, is, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is a thr-s.a, isa, tooooooooo.a. toeeea.a. toea.a. toea. toea. toe. toe. thr-s. thr-s. that phrase is that, and there's a reason why the Republicans, who of course have been throwing every variety of spaghetti against the wall to see what sticks, focused on quid pro quo, because quid pro quo is I'm going to hand you a suitcase of money and in exchange you're going to do this for me.

Now, by the way, the chief of staffection, admitted that there was a quid pro quo. But the point is, if that's all you focus on, you miss the extortion. I mean, it's right out of the godfather. When somebody in a position of immense power looks at somebody not in a position of immense power and says, I want you to do us a favor,

thoooo, is not missed. Trump and the Republicans have said, though, this had nothing to do with extortion. It was about America saying, we want to make sure that there is no corruption in Ukraine before we give Ukrainians money. And part of that corruption could be Hunter Biden and Joe Biden and what they've done. So what do you make of that argument then? It's absurd. All over the world, the United States government tries to promote clean elections, a clean economy, and there's all kinds of ways we do that. That's what actually Joe Biden was doing when he was encouraging the Ukrainians to get rid of a clearly corrupt prosecutor that the world knew was corrupt.

He was executing the anti-corruption policy of the United States of America. We do it all the time. It bears absolutely no relation to the president saying, I I I I I I I I I I I, I, the, thi, the, thi, to, thi, thi, the, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the, thi, the, the, the, the, the, thi, thi, thi, thi, the, the, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th it all the time. It bears absolutely no relation to the president saying, I want you to investigate my political opponent. And if you look at the transcript, and boy, I don't often agree with the president, I agree with him on this one. Read the transcript. He does not use the word corruption. He mentions the Biden's over and over again. So we cannot lose the fact that there is a radical difference between doing what we do all to do all to do all, to do, the the to, their, their, their, their, their, their, tho, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and thii, and, thi, and, thi, thi, thi, their, their, their, their, 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, the po. And, the the the the their, they. And, they. And, they. And, they. And, they. And, they. And, they. And, thii. And, thiiiiii. And, theyauuiia. And, theya, they. And, they. And, they. And, they. And, they. And, the fact that there is a radical difference between doing what we do all over the world, encouraging an end to corruption and saying, I want you to look into my political opponent. These proceedings were happening at a pace that was dictated by the Democrats for a very long time.

You know, Nancy Pelosi said we're not going to launch a formal proceeding, we're going to take our time with the inquiry. We want to get all our ducks in a row. Some have said the Democrats have made a mistake in not waiting for Bolton as one of the most prominent notakers in the administration. Is there a reason the Democrats are doing this now? Why not wait a little bit longer and make sure you've got even more witnesses, or or is this a matter of timing is important? I think the main reason the the the the the the the the the thi I'm, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the the thi, thi, thi, the the, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is their, is, is their, their, too, too.a, too.a, too.a, their, their, their, their, their, their, is, is, is, is, is, is I think the main reason for the timing is that the facts are really not any more in dispute. And it's funny, when Republicans are interviewed, they never say, well, this fact is clearly wrong. They say the process is ugly, they say this is not fair. They say, yeah, this is pretty bad, but it's not impeachable bad, right?

So the facts are there.

Personally, I want to hear from Rudy Giuliani, who, again, another sort of chapter of this bizarre saga where you have the president's personal lawyer. He's got no position with the United States government running around Ukraine saying, God knows what to God knows whom. Probably, we all watched Rudy on TV. I imagine those weren't particularly diplomatic conversations. And I would really like to understand that because we can't have to have to to to to to to to to to to the to be the the the toe, their their, their, their, their, their, their, toe, their, their, their, toe, toe, toe, toe, their, their, to to their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the president, would really like to understand that, because we can't have private citizens, of course, carrying out corrupt enterprises in vulnerable countries. But the bottom line is that the facts are there, and the open hearings will make them plain to all Americans.

It's interesting because America's history with open hearings has shown that, for instance, with Nixon, once those hearings became public, the swell of support for impeachment increased dramatically because people started to hear and see for themselves what the president was accused of. It is different now though in that people get their news from completely different sources. So are you worried that this could be one of those things where the hearings are happening, but people who watch Fox News and people who consume media that supports Donald Trump, they're just going to get information that is like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, the, the, the, the, the, the, thi, 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, thi, 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, th.................... th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thr. th. th. th. th. thr. th. thr. thi. th. th. th. th. Trump, they're just going to get information that is like, no, nothing is happening, everything is fine, look the other way, or do you think this will shift the conversation even more?

Well, the conversation has already shifted. I mean, when the Ukraine thing broke, the numbers, the way the American people thought about impeachment changed pretty dramatically. I mean, there was a 10, 15, almost 20 point swing. We're in a world today where some 49% of the American public thinks the president should be impeached and removed. That was not true before this Ukraine thing. That said, and here's what really worries me, being elected to an office like the one I hold or that the senators hold, is a profound public trust. And it's not just to the president, it's to our system, it's to the constitution, it's to the res to the res the res to the res to to the Constitution. It's to the resiliency of our democracy. And when Lindsay Graham or my Republican colleagues do everything they can

to try to make it sound like this is okay, and I don't just mean the Ukraine stuff, I mean, you know, this is the first president in our history who before the election said he might not recognize the legitimacy of that election, he challenges judges. He calls the press, the thrane, thea pre pre pre pre pre pre pre pre pre pre pre pre pre pre pre pre pre pre pre pre pre the the thresresresres, thres, thres, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, the thus, the, the the the the, the, the the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. the the the the the the th. the th. th. th. th. th. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thi, the, the, the, the the the, the the the the. the the the the the the. the the the the the tooooo. toe. toe. toe. to to to to to the enemy of the people. This stuff is eroding the cornerstones of our democracy. And where are my Republican colleagues in saying this is not okay? Let me ask you about the Republican colleagues. They've said it's not about that.

People like Lindsay Graham have said, no, this whole impeachment thing is incorrect. This is not how you should be removing a president. A president should be removed by the people in an election. That's what they say. Let's let the American people decide because this impeachment thing feels like a witch hunt. How do you respond to that criticism from their side? Well, the statement, so Lindsay Graham called the impeachment process illegitimate. Folks on the right are calling it a coup. This is a specifically enumerated remedy in the Constitution of the United States that we all swear to uphold

for holding the president accountable. By the way, it turns out if you read the Mueller report, that it's the only way to hold the president accountable, that it's the o'criour the the president can't be charged with a crime. So it is the constitutional way that's, the constitutional way that again, attack that process and to call it a coup, you know, that sound you hear is the cornerstones of our system beginning to erode a little bit. Wow, it sounds like there's going to be a show down from Wednesday onwards. America will never be the same. Thank you so much for being on the show.

And good luck with the hearing. We'll see how they go.

I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly Show, it's going to be coming out every Thursday. So exciting. You'll be saying to yourself, TGID, thank God it's Thursday we're going to be talking about. All the things that hopefully obsess you in the same way that they obsess me. The election. Economics. Earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. And I know that I listed that fourth,

but in importance it's probably second. I know you have a listed that fourth, but in importance, it's probably second. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday? I mean, talk about innovative. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. Welcome back to the Jamie Show. My next guest is an Academy Award and Tony nominated actor who stars in Disney's new Christmas comedy, Noelle. Please welcome back to the show, Anna Kendrick. Welcome back to the show. I'm so happy to be here. Thank you for me.

Welcome back to the show. I'm so happy to be here. Thank you for me to be that. Congratulations on joining what many people believe is going to be the next behemoth in streaming Disney Plus with a brand-new movie that some people are saying is going to be the next behemoth in streaming Disney Plus with a brand new movie that some people are saying is going to be the next Christmas classic. Yes, I'm very smart. It's just like, yeah. I've made all the right moves. It feels like, even the premise of the movie, I was like, oh yeah. Adorable.

This is genius. Because you play Santa's daughter, but basically, because the Santa's daughter, th, th, th, th, th, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, th, th, th, th, th, th, the, the, the, the, the, the, to, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, is, is, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, is the, is the, is the, is the, is the, is the, is the, is the, is the, is the, is the, is the, is the, is the, is the, is the, is the, is the, is the, is the, is the, is the, is the, is the, the, the the the their. their. their. their. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the from generation to generation. Yeah. So Bill Hater plays the next Santa in line. He disappears because he's nervous that he won't do a good job. And I have to, what? Go and save Christmas. I mean, naturally. Why wouldn't I? Why would I make a Christmas movie where I didn't have to save Christmas? That's my job.

But it's a cool story because I'm not giving anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything a story where Noel, your character goes like, oh, why does Santa have to go down to the boys? Santa could be the most efficient Santa, the most, you know, the most experienced Santa. Whoever's the best Santa, that could be anyone. That could be anyone. Right. You have a better chance of fitting down a chimney. Yeah. I thi, thi, th, th, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, tho, tho, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to they. they. they. they. they. they. they. the the the the the the the the the the the toooooooooooooooooooooo. the too, too, too, to to to to to too, thank you, Trevor. I think you do. I think you've much better job at fitting down a chimney than Santa. I think you would be... Every time I see Santa, I'm like, no, this is not going to end well. Like, he's going to sue somebody for the chimney, but I feel like you could make it more efficient

Santa. Thank you. Yeah, I mean, has to be magic. I mean, it's a Disney movie. I mean, if you're going to do a Christmas movie, it should be with Disney, because they're going to build a North Pole where the whole thing is ice. There are no sidewalks. It's all ice.

And you ice skate everywhere. that very, very magical. It is magical. I join the Disney team. Do you get to meet like cool Disney, like, do you like hang out with Mickey? Like in the, yeah? Yeah. Is it like a secret like, like, party that Mickey hosts and stuff is? I mean, I can't talk about that here. I shouldn't have even asked. Um, you are doing something amazing in your career right now, which is not just acting, not just acting, not just writing books, not just, th and th and th and th and th and th and th and th and th and th and th.... thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, like, like, like, thi, thi, thi, 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, thi.. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. Is, is, is, thi. Is, like, like, like, like,-around performer, but you step behind the camera as well as an executive producer on your projects, which is really exciting.

Yeah, it's been really exciting. It's, um, I mean, it's nice to have a seat at the table, and it's also like, I do feel like, you know, like in so many things in life, it's a job that I have felt, frankly, of projects and I just haven't had the title. So I've had like comments from directors being like oh god like thanks for that and I I owe you a car my god I'm like or you could give me an EP credit credit. So it's been really really exciting. But isn't it a bit weird to be like because here's the thing

when you're acting the director's sort of your boss but then because you're that you're the actor and then as the director's boss, but then as the EP, you're now the director's boss. Yeah. So, it's like, because it'd be weird if the director gives you a note. I know, I know. It's been, I've been really lucky so far where, because sometimes you get on a project and like two weeks in, you're on, like, I have just such respect for, and trust for the director. I think you should do a fake phone call.

That's what you should do if that happens. Oh. You just do a fake, fake phone call as yourself. Okay. You get I'm saying, because you're there on set. I'm like, I'm like, actor Anna, I'm like, thin. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. thi. thi. tha. you should you should you should you should you should you should that that that that that's, you should that's, you should that's, you should, you should. that's, you should. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that. that. that. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. you. you. that that you. that you. tha. and you just do like the whole thing. Exactly. That's exactly what you do and then you kill the game. Yeah yeah yeah. I love do do you ever think you'd see a world where you wouldn't be in front of the camera then? I don't want to see that. I don't want to see that. I don't like a lot of people like actors go like no actually enjoy this or like thi. I mean I mean I I I I I I I I I I I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I mean I that I that I mean I that I mean I mean I mean I that I mean I mean I that I mean I that I th. I th. I th. I think I think I think I think I th. I th. I think I think I think I think I think. I think. I think. I think. I think. I think. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th.

Do. think. do. do. think. do. do. think. do. do. think. do. do. Do. Do. Do. Do. Do. Do. Do. Do. Do. Do.'t want to see that. I mean, it's just, it's less kind of hair extensions and all that stuff.

So that's, you know, that would be a plus. I could wear hoodies again, you know, that kind of thing. That makes sense. But I mean, yeah, I like, I really like my job. If anything, I think, for acting part, and I felt like there came a time when I was like, oh crap, like again, like so many things in life, you realize like there aren't just grownups in the room, you know, you're the grownup?

Yes, that makes sense. That means nobody knows what they're doing. That's such bad news. Oh, no. Because it would be great if there were kind of grown-ups that were more grown-up than you are and there aren't. Right. I like the idea that you're saying that in the meeting out loud.

To everyone going, oh no, there are no grown-ups. None of you know what you're doing. God, why did I listen to any of you? I think that will be amazing. I think everything that that that that that that that that that that that that that thi thi thi thi thi thi is thi is thithat will be amazing. I think everything that you're doing is amazing. Disney Plus is going to be huge just because it's Disney. I agree. I've made the right moves. You have made all of the right moves. The Christmas movie is coming out.
