From Comedy Central's World News Headquarters in New York. This is the Daily Show with Trevor Noah, Ears Edition. the Dirty Show everybody, thank you so much for tuning in. Thank you for coming out. Oh yeah, I'm Trevor Noah. Our guest tonight, our guest tonight is the host of the Late Late Show. James Coddin is here, everybody. So exciting. Yeah, we were gonna do carpool karaoke, but it turns out that show doesn't work in New York. Yeah, the traffic is just crazy.

We're sitting in the car like, we be launched. Get out of the way, asshole! Who drives a Bugadi in New York? Together. Also on tonight's show, D-Day is happening all over again. Trump's tweets are back with a bang and the new superstar of the Democratic race. So let's catch up on today's headlines. Today marked the 75th anniversary of D-Day, the day when the Allies sent a bunch of dick picks to the Nazis. It was also the day when thousands of Allied soldiers

bravely stormed the beaches of Normandy to rescue Matt Damon. And after everything they went through, he still went and got his ass stranded on Mars. Get it together, Matt. Now, everyone has a different way of commemorating D-Day. But one veteran did it in style. A D-Day veteran returned to the skies to parachute again into the same landing zone that he did 75 years ago. This is an amazing story.

He is 97-year-old Tom Rice. There's Mr. Rice. He was a veteran of the 101st Airborne. He made the jump once again outside Cariton France. It was a vicious battle for Caritan. This time it was a tandem jump, and no one was shooting at him, unfortunately. Wow.

Wow, 97 years old. And he jumped out of a thia Yeah, that's amazing. That's what that is. Huh? And honestly, honestly, I don't know what's scarier. Parachuting into Nazi territory on the real D-Day or being the jump expert today who's responsible for not hurting a 97-year-old veteran. Because if that landing goes wrong, the veteran's going to be like, I survived Hitler, but it looks like Butterfing th over th. th. th. th. th. That's th. That's thiiiiiii-fing is thi-a-fing is thi-o-o-o-s, thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, thui-s, thui-s, thi-s, thu, thoom! is thoom! is, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh. Huh, huh. Huh, huh. Huh, huh. Huh, huh. Huh.

That's-s, to-s, thi. thi. thi. to-s, thi. thi. thi. thi-s. thi-s, the veteran's gonna be mad, it's gonna be like, I survived Hitler, but it looks like Butterfingers Barry over here finished the job. Who needs Nazis when you got numbskulls? By the way, that wasn't actually a commemorative jump. Those two guys were just flying to France on Spirit Airlines.

Spirit Airlines. You know what? Just let me out here. But for real though, thank you so much to to all to all to all to all to all to all to all to all to all to all to all to all to all to all to all to all to all to all to all to all to all to all to all the brave the brave the brave the b a the ba.. their their their their theirfix. theirfing. theirfing. their fa. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

But for real though, thank you so much to all of the brave World War II veterans. You made enormous sacrifices to defeat some very fine people on both sides. All right, let's move on in technology news. The fight against climate change is one that the tech sector is trying to tackle head on. And now, they just got joined by a really powerful face. Robert Downey Jr. he plays a genius in the Iron Man movies, Tony Stark, the industrialist.

At a tech conference put together by Amazon, he took the stage, said, look, I'm not a genius. I didn't even graduate from high school. and they told me that we could significantly or completely clean up the environmental problems on this planet with drumroll, what robots and nanotechnology. So we started an organization called the footprint coalition which is going to make this idea a reality. Between robotics and we could probably clean up the planet significantly if not entirely within a decade. Okay, that sounds amazing. And I think what makes it extra cool is who's saying it. It's Tony's Doc.

Yeah, it almost feels like Robert has played Iron Man for so long that now he's just living it. Which makes sense. If you play a character for over a decade, surely you're going to become a little bit like them, and this probably also explains why I keep seeing Mark Ruffalo running around the streets with no shirt on. He's just like, yeah, this is me. Plus, I ran into that tree who plays Gruth the other day, and he refused to break character. Also, I was on a lot of drugs.

But you know what, trust me, I'll tell you guys now. I know what, I was still talking in a South African accent for hours. Hours. All right, and finally, moving on to the world of retail, Walmart. It's like Amazon, except you deliver yourself to the store. Recently, America's largest private employer got a visit from America's loudest employee. Bernie Sanders made headlines today when he appeared at Walmart shareholder meeting and accused the company of paying its employees what he called starvation wages. Despite the incredible wealth of its owner, Walmart pays many of its employees starvation

wages. Frankly, the American people are sick and tired of subsidizing the greed of some of the largest and most profitable corporations in this country. Yeah, Bernie Sanders. Wow! This man does not mess around. He showed up to question Walmart face to face. Although it is a little selfish for Bernie to ask for higher wages since he works part-time there as a gritter. I mean, you know on the weekend is like, America needs a revolution and if you need pepto, it's

in I'll 12 next to the paper's house. But you know what, all joking aside, this is what I love about Bernie Sanders. He doesn't just shout about policy from Washington about what needs to change. He goes to the action. He goes to the Walmart. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to tooom. tooom. tooom. tooom. tooom. tooom. tooom. tooom. tooom. tooom. to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. the th. th the. the. the. the the. the thea. thea. tooooooo. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. tooto the action. He goes to the Walmart meeting. That's blazing. Like if Bernie was a Game of Thrones fan, he wouldn't be complaining online about the ending like everyone else. He'd be going to Winterfell. Yeah. He'd be like, this storyline makes no sense.

I should be the Queen of the North. All right, that's it for the 2020 presidential election, which is barely enough time to cook a 30-minute meal 25,000 times. And right now, the Democratic primary has 24 candidates, which is insane. Look at all those faces, huh? Look at all of those faces. And one of those candidates is having a big moment right now. Elizabeth Warren's popularity is gaining in the polls nationally. The Massachusetts senator is now sitting third

in the crowded Democratic primary field, trailing former vice president, Joe Biden and Senator Bernie Sanders. Elizabeth Warren got one of the biggest applause and one of the biggest receptions from the California State Democratic Convention. They are telling you they will not fight for you. Not me.

I'm here to fight. That's right. Elizabeth Warren has surged into third place in the crowded democratic field. So right now it goes 76-year-old Biden, then 77-year-old Bernie, and then 69-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-c, the-c, the-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c, the-c. the-c-c, the-c, the-c, the-c, the-c, the-c, the-c, the-c, the-c, the-c, the the the-c. the-c. the-c. the-c. the-c. the-c. the-c. the-c. the-c. the-c. the-c. the-c. the-c. the-c. the- the- the- the- th- the- th- th- th- th- thi- thi- thi- thi- the- the- thi- the- the- the- thi- thi- thi- thi- thi- thi- thi- third place in the crowded democratic field. So right now it goes 76-year-old Biden, then 77-year-old Bernie, and then 69-year-old Warren. Like, this doesn't look like a group of presidential frontrunners. It looks like the cost of a Morgan-Frieveen movie about old people going on one last heist. This is it, people, we're doing it. And by the way, this is something you would th th th th th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, thi, thi, thi, th, th, th, thi, the way, this is something you would never see in Africa, all right?

No one is becoming president at the age of 70. When you're planning on running a country for 40 years, that's too old, my friends. Just too old. And for a long time, for a long time, I like how you got it in a wave. That was interesting. You guys got it and then you were like, wait a minute. Now for a long time, the the the the the th, 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 like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like I like, I like, I like, I like I like, I like, I like like like like, I like like like, I like, I like, I like like like, I like like, I like, I like like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, I like, like, I like, I like, I like like, I like, I like, I it and then you were like, wait a minute. Now for a long time, the thing most people have focused on when it comes to Elizabeth Warren has been the controversy about her claiming Native American heritage. But the fact that Warren is one one thousandth of her story. And since she's now in the top three Democrats, we thought we'd learn more about her story

in our recurring segment, Getting to Knowdam. So, Elizabeth Warren, you might think of her as part of the coastal elites, you know, being a senator from Massachusetts and owning her very own eyeglasses, so fancy, but you may be surprised to find out she came from very humble roots. coastal elites. You know, being a senator from Massachusetts and owning her very own eyeglasses, so fancy. But you may be surprised to find out she came from very humble roots. Warren was born in small town Oklahoma in 1949. Donald Herring, her father was a janitor, her mother Pauline, a stay-at-home mom. She taught special needs children in the 1970s, before eventually becoming a law professor,

most recently at Harvard Law School. Warren, perhaps unsurprisingly, didn't follow the traditional norms when she decided Bruce Mann, a professor of law at Harvard, was the one. She asked him to marry her. I still remember, the first time I really noticed him he had on shorts, great legs. Geez, Warren, keep it in your pants! I mean, really?

I have a hard time believing that this guy's legs were so amazing that she did, wow, oh, okay. Oh, damn, I'll take it back. Those are great legs. You get it, girl. Also, it was pretty progressive for a woman in the 70s to be the one to propose to a man. In fact, for all those ladies out there whose boyfriends are taking too long? Yeah, you know what to do. Yeah, you know what to do. Go ask Elizabeth Warren's husband to marry you.

Yeah. We were on the same page, right? And Elizabeth Warren wasn't just asking guys with great legs to marry her. No. No. taught at Harvard, she became one of the country's top experts on bankruptcy. And not in the Donald Trump kind of way. No, she knew the law so well that she would often be called to testify in front of Congress. And one of those hearings from nearly 15 years ago is pretty wild to watch now. Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren facing off more than a decade ago over a Biden-backed bill making it more difficult for people to file for bankruptcy. They have squeezed enough out of these families in interest and fees and payments that

maybe we should talk about usury rates. Maybe that's what we should be talking about, not bankruptcy. No, I know you will, but let's call a spade to spade. Senator, if you're not going to fix that problem, you can't take away the last shred of protection for these families. I got it, okay. Right. You're very good, Professor.

Yeah, he's been fighting against the predatory practices of banks and credit card companies. And this was long before it was cool, unlike Joe Biden, who once upon a time was fighting for credit card companies, which has never been cool, like Crocs or taking your cousin to prom. And because of her efforts to take on corporate America, Warren became such a popular figure on the left that when she proposed creating a new federal agency to protect consumers, President Obama wanted her to lead it. But the GOP had other ideas. The CFPB is the brainchild of former Harvard Law Professor Elizabeth Warren.

She first proposed creating the agency in 2007 as a way to better regulate mortgages, student loans, and other financial products. She was President Obama's pick to run the CFPB, but Republican senators on Capitol Hill refused to even consider confirming her. We're pretty unenthusiastic about the possibility of Elizabeth Warren. We're pretty unenthusiastic, frankly, about this new agency. Marlbobar, bribbomb, blah, blah, blah, ma'am. Why, I'm not surprised. Mitch McConnell is unenthusiastic about everything. Jesus Christ could return to earth, and McConnell would be like,

myrown, why is this such a big deal? I mean, I died four decades ago. You don't see me bragging. I feel like, McConnell is so low energy that if he did cocaine, it would just ramp him up to normal. He'd be like, oh, let me get a bump of that. All right, guys, let's start this meeting. So it turns out, back in the day, Elizabeth Warren was Mitch McPlocked, right, and

never got to run the CFPB. But the move may have backfired because a year later, she ran for Senate and became, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and to, and to, and to, and to, and to, and to, and to to to the to to the to be the to be the toB. But the move may have backfired because a year later, she ran for Senate and became McConnell's co-worker. And from there, her popularity just kept on rising. The new senator shaking up the Democratic Party, Elizabeth Warren's tough take on Wall Street has made her a folk hero on the left. Wherever she goes in the country, she brings giant crowds to their feet. The US senator for only a year, she's now making an even bigger splash. A draft movement is already underway. An open letter from more than 300 former Obama campaign staffers urging

Elizabeth Warren to run for president. Warren was adamant she is not getting in the game. There's no way you're going to run in 2016. I'm not running for president. You can ask it lots of different ways. Wow, times have really changed in four years, huh? Back then, Democrats were refusing to run for presidents even when they had a ton of support. Now, if one person is nice to them on the streets, Democrats are like, the people have spoken! I must run for president!

Actually, I was just saying nice shoes, and I'll use these shoes to walk straight into the White House! So Elizabeth Warren turned down the chance to run for president in 2016. A year many of you may have blocked from your memory. But now, she's making waves in the 2020 race. And incredibly, she's managed to stand out in this crowded field thanks to her unique strategy of having a plan. 20-20 presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren,

the senator is making a mark on this race with these six words. I've got a plan for that. I got a plan. I have got plans. I got a plan. Senator Elizabeth Warren rolls out a sweeping plan that would wipe out student debt for millions of Americans. A detailed plan to invest $2 trillion over 10 years in green manufacturing, research

and trade. Breaking up Amazon, Google and other big tech giants. Focusing her first policy plan as a thaaaaaaaaq thiiiiii, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, and, and, thi, thi, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, I, I, I, I, I'm thi, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, and, I, and, I I, I, I I, and, I, I, I, I, I, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm a thi, thi, thi.a, thi. thi. thi.a.a. ta'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a, thi.a, thi. thi. thi. thi. tech giants. Focusing her first policy plan as a 2020 candidate on creating a wealth tax. If we put that two cent wealth tax in place on the 75,000 largest fortunes in this country, two cents, we can do universal child care for every baby zero to five, universal pre-K, universal college, and knock back the student loan debt burden for 95% of our students and still have nearly a trillion dollars left over. Damn.

Damn. Damn. Elizabeth Warren has some really detailed, well-thought-out plans, which is great if she becomes president. The only downside is that's going to be one giant-ass hat. Yeah, can't run with that. It's going to fuck up people's necks. Luckily, free health care, so it works. So that's Elizabeth Warren. Lots of detailed ideas, and a long history to back them up. And look, we still have a long way to go until the primaries, but for right now, it seems that much like her husband, this campaign has legs.

It's the only love affair he's had that President Trump loves Twitter, right? It's the only love affair he's had that didn't end in a hush money payment. In fact, Trump loves Twitter so much, he actually based his hairstyle on the Twitter bird. Yeah. A lot of people don't know that. In fact, Twitter is so important to him that even during his state visit to the UK, he made time to tweet about the important things happening back home. Overnight, the president indulged in a memorable, long, some might say inevitable, social media

tirade, half a dozen pent-up attacks on, and we're quoting here, Sleepy Joe Biden, Cripp, Chy-Chu-Middley, the actress. Okay. I know this isn't the point, but washed up psycho makes it sound like she used to be successful at being a psycho and now her psycho agent won't return her calls. Grandma. And look, I know we've all gotten used to this from Donald Trump, but I just want to take a moment to remind people that it's not normal for the president of the United States to be attacking individual Americans. Abraham Lincoln wasn't running around like, four score and seven years, Bob was a douc-back.

And he'll still be one in another four score in seven years. Kill yourself, Bob! But I guess this is why Trump loves Twitter, right? He gets to be as outrageous and unfiltered as he wants, and people take notice. Although lately, they seem to be taking a little less notice. According to new reporting from Axios, President Trump's tweets just aren't packing the same punch anymore, with interaction falling dramatically in recent months, despite a significant uptick in use. The interactions with his tweets, in other words, the number of times someone retweets a tweets a tweet or likes a tweet,

has been dropping, so his tweets are having a bit less impact. That's right. Donald Trump's engagement on Twitter is down. And I think I know why he's struggling. He's tweeted so much crazy stuff that we've built up a tolerance. Yeah. Two years ago, Trump could call Kim Jong-un a little rocket man and we'd start preparing for World War III. Now he could tweet that the US is actually invading Canada and we'd be like, wow. Can't believe he spelled Canada correctly.

He's really maturing. But here's my the theoryory's been working so hard on making America great again, that he hasn't had time to make his Twitter great again. And here at the Daily Show, we can't allow that. Which is why we want to help him remember how amazing his Twitter can be. So if I could address the president directly for a second, I'll be back. Hi, Donald. We don't talk anymore. How are

the kids? Disappointments? Anyway, I wanted to extend an invitation to help you get your Twitter groove back. The Daily Show is bringing the Daily Show presents the Donald J. Trump Presidential Twitter Library to Washington, D.C., where everyone can visit and relive all of your greatest works. It's an interactive experience where visitors can bask in your collected wisdom, commemorate your deleted tweets, and get a selfie with cofifi. They can even sit on your golden throne to simulate the true presidential tweeting experience. The library will be free and open to the public next weekend June 14th through 16th and the best part is

It's right around the corner from the White House So mr. President why not take a break from your empty schedule and stop by we'll be right back Welcome back to the Daily Show. My guest tonight is an Emmy and Tony Award-winning actor, writer, producer, and host of CBS's The Late Late Show. This Sunday, he will host the Tony Awards for the second time. James Corden! Finally, finally. I'm so happy to be here. So I am beyond excited to have you here. Because like you have come in and genuinely changed in many ways the people perceive not just late night but television.

Because I remember when you started on the show, everyone was like, oh, who's this guy? He's starting at like 1237 at night, and what's this thing going to be? And overnight, you took what was once once once once once once once once once once once it into the biggest explosion, thanks to your ideas, including Carpool Karaoke. Have, like, yeah, like, has that changed the way you see the medium as a whole? Uh, I don't think so. I think we always thought that's what we were, we were going to do. We were going to try to, you know, we didn't know that it that it it it that it, that it, that it, that it, that it, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. And, th. And, th. th. th. thi, thi, 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, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, to, to, to, the, to, the, to, the, the, to, to, the, too, too, too, too, too, too, to, to, to, to, to, we were going to try to you know We didn't know that we would it would happen We had no idea that it would or could happen as quickly as it did right but but our I mean

Essentially my my ego won't allow me To recognize that I'm making a show that airs at 1237 at night right if I think about that too long I'll just really get depressed So we were like well there there's nothing we can do 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 tho tho tho tho tho thi thi thi thi tho tho tho we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we the we to to to to the to tho we're to we're we're we're we're we're we're we're we're we're we we we we we we we we If I think about that too long I'll just really get depressed. So we were like well there's nothing we can do about that so we can hang on wait the internet we'll use that. Right. And so we only really think of our show as not really being in a time stop. We think of it as well it launches at that time and people can find it whenever they want to whether that's years down the line or days or the next morning on their journey to work, lunch break, whenever. It's the kind of wonderful thing about making shows like this right now in this particular

time. It's lovely. And here's the thing, it's not just about time. I think it's also about place. Your show was one of the first that really blew up karaoke, they had the sense of what, you know, a rap battle was and the whole vibe had changed. When you were making carpool karaoke though, a lot of people don't know this, you guys struggled to get people on that show.

Oh, we couldn't get anybody. Yeah, we couldn't get, I mean, honestly. Because now everyone's like, James, when I'm coming on your show? I really always believed in the idea. I always thought, oh, I think this is a good idea. But there's quite an interesting game, actually, you play with the audience. If everybody in the audience, if everybody now, just in your own mind, don't say it out loud, just, and you do it, Trevor, just think of a, think of a recording artist, a living recording artist.

Has everybody got one? They said no. And it's not a lie. It's not a lie. It's the true, absolute truth. And so then we, and it was just a chance meeting with Maria Kerry's publicist and she was about to put some new dates on in Vegas. And I showed her a clip of me doing it in a sketch with George Michael that I'd done at home for a comic relief. Right.

And she loved George Michael and Mariah Care he was like, if it's good enough for George, it's good enough for me and that was it. And nobody thought that it would ever become the thing that it's kind of become, but it's crazy. It really is amazing. I mean, it's gone from just being musicians to politicians. I mean, Michelle Obama has done it, you know, you've been in a car, I mean, everybody, look and look at this list, Paul McCartney, you know, you've had Tom Hanks on the show, you've had, everyone, it's become this thing that is larger than life.

The next step you do realize is you and the Pope in the one song. I would love that. I would absolutely love it. My man. I would love it. If he's watching and I think he is. And if he's not watching this, he'll be watching the Tony's on Sunday. So we'll talk, we'll really get it. I would love nothing more than to do it with the Pope. That's something that I have loved about your show is that it really is an expression of all of your talents, right? So a lot of people were surprised.

I remember the first few times Carpool karaoke really blew up, people were like, well, this James Cornyn guy can almost sing. And it's like, no, no, he can really sing. Which is shocked people, because there's some artists who've come in and You sing better than some people and then you have to dial it down. I won't say who, but you do. And that's why you have won Tony Awards because you are an actor. Yes, we know you as a host, but you're an actor, you're a performer and you've loved theatre your whole life. Yeah, I mean I'd never really hosted, I used to host a show back in the UK which you came

on actually, but that was my only real time th.. But really what I'd ever do is be in plays or I would write, you know, sitcoms and things in the UK. I never thought that I would never even enter my brain in the same way that I don't think you get into yours in any way. I would host a daily show in America. It feels too far away. It's out of reach somehow. And I, you, you, you, you, you, you, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I thi, I thi, I thi, I tho, I tho, I tho, I tho, I'm, I'm, I tho, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I, I'd, I'd, I, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd th.... tho, I'd tho.. tho.. tho. tho. th. th. tho. tho. th. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. th. th. th. It feels too far. It's out of reach somehow, you know. And I think we both had that feeling

because we essentially got announced at basically the same time, right? And it was both who the hell are these guys? Yeah. Yes, I remember this. And we both had to really deal with that in that own way. Yes. But yeah. But I would love to go back and act back to to to to go back to go back to to to to to the the the the the the to the the the the the the tooom. the the tooom. the the the the tooom. tooom. tooom. too. too. too. tooom. the the. too. too. too. too. too. too. tooomombea. tooombea. 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.

Every time I come here to New York and I try and go to the theater as much as I can I'm going to go tonight and I miss it.

I miss it hugely, but at the same time I feel in no place where I want to stop this kind of glorious journey that I'm on at the minute. I love it. I don't know the th know then th know then then thin th know tho I tho I don't th tho I don't th tho I don't tho I don't tho I don't know tho I don't know tho I don't know tho tho tho tho tho tho tho I'm the I'm tho tho tho tho.

Do you know what I mean? That's how it feels every day really. That's beautiful, ma'am. But the Tony's is like an expression of a world that you've adored for a long time. This is your second time hosting. What's impressive is that you're doing the tony's and you've done the Grammys. It feels. It feels th. It feels th So. It feels thso. It feels thso. It's. th. thso. th. thso. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th's th's th's th's th's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi. thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's 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. thee. theea. theeea. they. theeeea. theea. thea. thea. thea's have more fun at the Tony's. What makes them special? Well, everybody wants to be there. That's the first real big difference between the Grammys and the Tony's is everybody wants to be there and they're thrilled that they're all doing this. No one's going, I didn't fucking win, you know.

So it's a very, very supportive community. That entire community community community community th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. thea. thoomea. thi. thiolomea. the. the. the. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. the.

It's a thea. It's a theauu. It's a theau. It's a theau. It's a theau. It's thea. It's thea. It's a thea. It's a very, very supportive community. That entire community of Broadway, they are, these are a load of people who are squeezed into 12 blocks. Yes. Back-to-back theaters and they know each other and they're friends. And these are people who eight times a week. Like, look, you think you work hard, I think I work hard, but like, when you're doing a play or a musical, eight times a week, with one day off, that is, that, that, that is, that is, that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is th, th, hard, but like when you're doing a play or a musical, eight times a week with one day off, that is absolute graft. And the reason I want to host the Tony's and the reason I want to really try and make it the best show I can is I believe that per square meter there is no room on earth

that holds as many talented people as that room does. And it's a show where, and I think, are you trying to celebrate, these people who are so gifted, they are so talented, that they put on a show every day, and in a world where we are living increasingly on our phones, and tablets, iPads, all those things, we are all searching for a live collective experience and experience to be together.

And these are the people that provide that. So we're really going to try and make the best and biggest show we can. I mean, it's terrifying. I've had real moments this week. I thought, oh, I should have just left it at the one I did with Hamilton, and that was a real success. I should have just gone out there but I really hope we're going to do it as we're certainly going to stop at nothing to make it a celebration of a group of people that I think at the absolute minimum deserve to be celebrated on television at least

once a year. I'll tell you this I've never seen James Quarren not do something at 110 percent so it's going to rock man we'll see it.
