And Sherry Shepard. This is the Daily Show with Trevor Noah. What's going on everybody? Welcome to the Daily Show. I'm Trevor Noah. Thank you so much for tuning in. Thank you for coming out in questions.

We're back. It's good to be back. Thank you so much. Take a seat, everybody. We have got a great show for you tonight. Donald Trump is master of his domain. Amazon has ruined Lord of the Rings and Ronnie Chang will break down the most overanalyized film footage since the Kennedy assassination. So let's do this people. Let's jump straight into today's headlines. All right. Before we get into the big stories, let's catch up on a few other things going on in the world. The FDA has officially authorized new COVID boosters that for the first time target the Omicron variants. And I'm so excited because this means we can finally fight Omercron variance. And I'm so excited, because this means we can finally fight Omercron

just eight months after everyone got it. Yes! And in case you're counting, that is now the fourth COVID shot, which means one more, and we all get a free sandwich, yeah! Meanwhile, in climate news, the West Coast of America is currently experiencing a record-breaking heat wave, with temperatures in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in the the the th in the the th in the thi in their their their news, the West Coast of America is currently experiencing a record-breaking heat wave with temperatures in some cities topping 115 degrees.

Yeah, it is so hot in California right now that people are begging Harry Stiles to spit on them. Please, Harry, please. Oh, in international news, it is now being reported that due to global sanctions, Russia is being forced to buy ammunition from North Korea. Yeah, which I think we can all agree means you're pretty desperate. Yeah, you have to go to North Korea because no one else will sell. It's like only a matter of time before Putin can only get haircuts from North Korea.

That's going to be fun. Nowhere else. All right, but let's move on to some of the biggest stories of the day. Starting with the only man in America whose scrapbooking hobby could land him in prison, Donald J. Trump. Yeah, the J stands for January 6. There have been some major developments in the FBI's investigation into America's former president. So let's catch up on all of it in another installment of America's most important national security secrets, we've all been wondering what exactly Trump was hiding there.

And over the weekend, we finally got a detailed rundown of what the FBI took away. There were 31 documents labeled confidential, there were 54 labeled secrets and 18 labeled top secrets. Yeah. And even better than that, agents found those 18 labeled top secrets. Yeah. And even better than that, agents found those documents intermingled in the same boxes as magazine clippings and clothing. So I guess Trump has a legal problem and a hoarding problem? Like, what is?

It's almost like, after the FBI is done with Trump, they need to send in Marie Condo, you know, just to be like, does this 1987 copy of Playboy, Spar, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, agents, agents, agents, agents, agents, agents, agents, th, agents, agents, agents, agents, thi, agents, agents, agents, agents, agents, agents, agents, agents, agents, agents, agents, agents, agents, agents, agents, agents, agents, agents, agents, agents, agents, agents, agents, agents, thu, agents, thu, thu, agents, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. And, thii. And, thii. And, thii, thi, th like after the FBI is done with Trump, they need to send in Marie Condo, you know, just to be like, does this 1987 copy of Playboy spark joy, Donald? It does, it sparks so much joy, so much joy. But even more concerning is that the FBI also found dozens of classified folders that were empty, which obviously raises the question, where are the documents from the folders? Are they in other tho? tho? th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. the the the thi? thi. thi. thi. thi. the thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, thi, the thi, thi, thi, thi, to th. Does th. Does th. Does th. Does th. Does thi, thi, thi, thi, th. Does th. Does th. Does th. Does th. Does th. Does, th. Does, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi. Does, thi. Does thi. Does the thi. thi. the. the. theeeeeeeean. theeean. thean. theean. theean. thean. thean. thean. the. the. the. where are the documents from the folders? Are they in other boxes? Did he lend them to Saudi Arabia? Or maybe it's more innocent. Maybe Trump just keeps a bunch of folders labeled classified so he can give them to friends with photocopies of his butt inside. I mean, that's a good joke. That's a good joke. You're like, what's in here?

Ah ha? It's also possible the intelligence community didn't trust Trump with classified information, so they just gave him empty folders. We don't know. Yeah, I could just be like, sir, these documents are so secret. We made them invisible. He's just like, incredible, just like all the love letters, Milania sends me. I get it. But nobody knows what Trump was doing with these files and folders.

And now, it might be a lot longer until we find out. The criminal investigation into those classified documents found at Marilago is temporarily on hold. As a result of this 24-page order, where a Florida federal judge granted former President Trump's request that authorizes the appointment of a special master, an independent observer to review what the FBI seized from the Trump estate last month. The special master would separate any items that might be protected by claims of attorney-client privilege or executive

privilege. The judge said a deadline of Friday for both sides in this case, Trump and the DOJ to propose a list of candidates they want to be special master. Now the judge also said in this ruling that DOJ cannot use these documents at all as part of its criminal investigation until this review is completed. Yeah, that's right. A judge in Florida has decided to appoint an independent observer to go through all of the documents and determine which ones are off limits to investigators. And that person is called a special master. Which, I'm not going to lie when I first heard it, it sounded pretty cool.

It's like, Donald is a special master. It's like, Donald is a special master. He's like, I am your special master and you Donald are my students. Like, great, can you teach me chopsticks? And what's going to be really interesting is who they pick for this job? Because the judge gave each side until Friday to submit a list of suggestions together.

So basically, the judge is going, Trump, you send us a list of who you think should review the documents. And then, I guess, I the ju just the judge, I the judge, I the judge, I the judge, I the judge, I the judge, the judge, the judge, the judge, the judge, the judge, the judge, the judge, the judge, the judge, the judge, the judge, the the the judge, the the thi, thi, thi, thi, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.... thi, thi, think should review the documents. And then, like, the Justice Department, you do the same thing. And then, I guess the judge is hoping that they'll overlap. But I don't know. I feel like the Department of Justice is gonna submit the names of like former attorney generals and FBI directors. And then the list from Trump's side is gonna be like, Jared, the hiber, a paper, the, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thr, thr, thr, thr, thr, thr, thr, thr, 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, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th....... thr, thr, thr. too, too, too, to.e.e.e.e.e.a. too. too. te. too. too. th. too. th. the the, toilet, you know? But you know once again, Donald Trump has exposed the part of America that I'm willing to bet nobody knew existed. Nobody.

Did you know about a special master? Any of you? Huh? I didn't even know there was an option. I've watched 10 million hours of law and order. I know about subpoenas. I know about breaking the chain of custody, objection, sustained overruled! Sidebar in my chambers, but not once have I heard the term special master. But once again, thanks to Trump, because of his hard work and dedication to doing crimes, we've all learned something new today. And I say thank you, Mr. President. That's right. But let's move on to some international news from the American Trump. That's right.

But let's move on to some international news from the American Trump to the British one. Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Back in July he was forced to resign due to a long list of scandals. He was having parties during his own COVID lockdown, he was receiving shady loans, he was promoting people that he knew were accused of sexual harassment. You name it, he did it. He's like a one-man, Chandra Rhyme's show. So finally, his party forced Boris to resign, and today they appointed the new leader of

the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom has a new Prime Minister this morning. Liz Trust officially took over from Boris Johnson today after meeting with Queen Elizabeth at Belmoral Castle in Scotland. We have huge reserves of talent, of energy and determination. I am confident that together we can ride out the storm. Trust inherits a nightmare. War in Europe, a biting cost of living crisis. The country braced for a winter of potential blackouts and fuel poverty.

Yeah, once again, the United Kingdom is bringing a woman into power only when things are really shit. Yeah, they do this all the time. Margaret Thatcher, Teresa May, Mary Poppins, the list is endless. That's why it feels good to live in a country like America. It is so feminist, it won't put a woman in charge ever. Just in case things get really bad. You're welcome, ladies.

You're welcome. You know, I've got to say, it's weird how the British system just brings a new prime minister on you. Like, you know when they pick the new doctor who, there's all the speculation and debates and the whole country's weighing in on it. But for the new Prime Minister, they're just like, meet Liz, she's running their country now. So, I wish the best of luck to Prime Minister Truce, and from now on, until she, I guess, resigns in disgrace.

No, because that's what happens to British Prime Ministers. They never get to the end of their term. You just serve until some shit goes down and you have to apologize and leave. In fact, you know what, to make things simpler, the new Prime Minister should just start their term with an apology speech, you know? It is truly an honor to be taken this job, I will to be forced.. within a year. I'm excited to lead this nation and I'm ashamed for the terrible things that I will do that forced me from office. But until that happens, I have many ideas for this country. I want to rebuild the roads. I want to expand national health care. And oh, look at that. Oh, boy, there's to serve you. Thanks everyone. Cheerio. Bye. Bye. Bye. All right, finally. Let's move on to some big entertainment news.

Amazon Prime Video has announced that its new Lord of the Rings prequel series is its most watched program ever, with more than 25 million viewers checking out the show on his first day. Yeah, but it turns out some of those people might be hate watching. Amazon is suspending reviews of its new Lord of the Rings series on rotten tomatoes. It says the 72-hour hold is to make sure the reviews for rings of power are legit and prevent internet trolls from bringing down their score. Amazon says reviews are being dragged down by fans fans who are upset about the show's diverse cast, which includes black actors playing elves and dwarves.

These viewers say it's unrealistic for Tolkien's creatures to be non-white. Yeah, I'm not going to like, this is a tough one. This is a tough one, I mean on the one hand, everyone wants diversity in the shows that we create. But on the other hand, you gotta admit it's a bit unrealistic to say that there were black people in this white guy's imagination, you know? I mean... I can get on board with a show or a world where magical creatures cost spells and fight undead armies for control of a piece of jewelry that can turn them into gods, but if those creatures have a tan, it's just not believable anymore.

It really isn't. No, for a... This is so hypocritical. You're going to get mad about seeing a black dwarf in Lord of the Rings, but you're fine with seeing a Kevin Hart movie, be consistent! He's so tiny. Also, by the way, I don't understand why people are this angry. It's not like all the characters turn black.

All right? There's one black dwarf, a couple of black elves. It's not like the NBA. Calm down. You know, it's the same way people were losing their shit because of the one black guy in House of Dragons. You know, people losing them, oh, well, it only takes takes t values, you know. The House of Dragon used to be worth $400,000. Now I don't know anymore. And I know what people are saying. People are saying that the books are supposed to be based on medieval Europe, so having black characters isn't realistic. But guys, nobody's watching Lord of the Rings for realism, okay? They're watching it because they didn't have sex in high school. That's the only reason. It's not realistic.

I won't say this, though. I will say this. Apart from the racism thing, I kind of agree. I don't think it makes sense to have black characters in Lord of the Rings. Yeah, I said it. The whole series is about seeing danger and then running towards it. That's some white people shit.

Like, the reason there were no black people in Middle Earth is because they saw the giant eye talking out of a volcano and they were like, oh hell no. We are moving to Africa because this shit here? Uh-uh, no, no, we do not need to be here. We're going to Africa, we're totally safe. All right, that's it for the headlines, but before we go to a break, it's time time to check in on all 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 wee. trans with our very own Ronnie Chang everybody! Oh yeah! Yeah!

Yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeah! Thanks, Trevor! Thank you! Hey, are you guys ready to put on social media? You guys ready to lose a few IQ points? I'm not gonna do it! All right, first to up, what's the trending is Law of the Rings, or as I like to call it, Game of Thrones without the incest.

I mean, look, I know we're supposed to be walk-any-woke on this show, you know, elf diversity, stop moto, hate or whatever, but look can we just give this one to white people all right? Let's diversify the real places first and then we can worry about the white fantasy places later okay that being said where the fuck other Asians okay because Middle Earth, Nanya, the West Wing, no Asians, no Asians. The closest thing we have the Asians in American fantasy is Spock in Star Trek. Okay, yeah, he's Asian. I know he's white, but he's Asian. Okay, he's super smart, he dresses like an emperor, he's got a bold haircut and he knows the pressure points in the neck, right?

Live long and prosper. He even talks like Confucius. I just want to see some Asian elves. Oh yeah, and what else is trending? Oh yeah, everyone's on the internet trying to figure out whether Harry Styles spit on Chris Pine at a movie premiere. Yeah, and by the way, this one Asian here, one Asian here, there's more Asians in this Harry style spinning video than Sixth Law of the Rings movies and a TV series. You know Ronnie I actually saw this trending online and I saw the video and like what what happened here? Dude I don't know Trevor. You think I care about this celebrity crap? You

think I stay up at night reading about how Florence Pugh was upset with Olivia Wild, or you think I spend hours t reading about how Florence Pugh was upset with Olivia Wilde, or you think I spent hours trying to figure out why Olivia said Shelibuff was fired when really he quit? Like what kind of pathetic loser would be up at 4 a.m. read about how Jason Sudekyke is serve Olivia Wilde divorce papers on stage at a movie's press conference? I mean, what sad piece of shit reads article after article about how Olivia is now dating Harry Styles and we all get slowly sucked into this Florence puniverse. It's actually disgustingly stupid how much time people are spending on this, all right? Get a life. You know, for someone who says they don't know a lot about this, it really seemed like you know a lot about this. Like you just took us through the whole story. So did did Harry Styles spit on Chris Pine or not? I don't know I, I 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. to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the to to the the to have to have their their their their their their their their their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. I'm their. I'm their. I'm their. I'm their. I'm their. I'm their th. I'm th. I'll th. I'll th. I'll toe. I'll toda. I just just just just just just, toe. I don't know, and I don't care, all right?

What I do know is that most people in the world would love to have Harry Stiles spit on them, all right? All right? Anyone in this audience would open their mouth and gladly have Harry Stiles to open their mouth and gladly have Harry any day of the week, all right? Yeah, all of you out there will to thrown. Please feed me, King Stiles, feed me with your sliver, right into my mouth. Who here wouldn't want that? Who don't want? Because people love Harry. That's ridiculous.

People love Harry. No one can do, he can't do any wrong. Have you seen what these desperate people tweet about him? Look at this, desperate person here. Top three one-direction members in order. Harry Stiles, Stiles stand for life. All right? That's what these fucking losers are saying on the internet. Desperate much?

He's not gonna spit in your mouth, Trevor. All right, first of all of theat, second of all, it's just a joke, okay? You're right, you're right. But you know what I do know? Okay? I know that all this shit is great publicity. Okay, I don't even know about this movie, but now I know about this movie.

It's given me an idea about how we should be promoting this show. No. Okay, Trevor, no. Trevor, no. Just hear me out here. No. I'll spin your mouth and then you serve me with divorce papers. No.

And then we start dating. Share him on, let me share everybody. We're gonna ask him out. We'll not be spinning. We'll be talking about small talk and the art of small talk. Don't go away. No spitting. Welcome back to a daily show. Of all the little life skills that we need to get through the day, the most annoying one is making small talk.

But is small talk more important than we think? Well, Michael Costa went to find out. As we re-enter society for the f-teen time, the workforce is more important. As we re-enter society for the f-fifteenth time, the workforce is really talk more important than we think? Well Michael Costa went to find out. As we re-enter society for the f-fifteenth time, the workforce is returning to the office and people have to do the grossest activity, make small talk. So I spoke to the public to see if it was time to end this terrible type of conversation. Is there anything worse than small talk? It's the worst, the worst, like like like like like like like like like like like like the the the anything worse than small talk? It's the worst. It's the worst. It's like the awkward phase. I don't really care about your day most of the time. Because it makes me nervous. Because it sucks. How do you feel your individual small talk skills have gotten since the pandemic? Everyone's just awkward as now. I forgot how to talk to people. So what do you do? Try not to talk to people. to try not. to. to. to. to. to. to. to to to to to to to to to the, to the, the, the, the, to, the, the, to, to, to, to, to, to to to to to to to to their their their their to their to to their to to to to to to to to to to their their to their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their, because, because, because, because. their their their their their their their their their their their their their the. the. the. try. thea, thea, thea, thea, thea, thea, thea, thea, thea, thea, their their the. to people? I will find a friend at a party and just sip myself with them.

What if we're at the park? Are we gonna small talk? If I don't know you, no, I keep it moving. Clearly we all hated small talk, so I wasn't gonna make anyone suffer any longer. So fuck all this small talk. You know, let's not do small talk for a second, okay? God? Real? Is God real? I want to get to the good stuff. Yeah. Will you tell me about your worst childhood trauma?

Oh, oh, no. It's clear everyone preferred my conversational approach. However, some see the benefits to small talk, like psychology professor, Tara Wells from Barnard college. So I met with her to go deep about why she likes to keep things on the surface. It's really important that we engage in small talk because it's how we connect as humans. And I appreciate how important it is for us in communication. You appreciate the most awkward moment of all social interaction?

It has kind of a negative connotation. We think it's superficial and it's just kind of, you know, mindless and a waste of time. What has happened to Small Talk since the pandemic started? The past two years have pretty much decimated Small Talk in a number of ways. I mean, when we talk to people face to face, we use the whole body. There's also a slight time lag in zoom and in those few seconds we tend to think of something negative so someone pauses they hate me yes exactly exactly should I

put my shirt back on that type of thing yeah so many people are feeling kind of very socially awkward not knowing what to say also wearing masks because we connect with their facial expressions to regulate our emotion like this like yeah like this or like this? They're like this? th like this? Did you 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? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? 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 the the the th the the the the th the th th the thi thi thi thi the thi thi our emotion. Like expressions like this? Like, yeah. Or like this? Did you feel connected to me then? No, no. Interesting.

What happens is we oftentimes mirror our facial features. So what's wrong with this jumping into the important stuff? Well, you know, small talk is in therapy. It's kind of easy to blame the pandemic. But in a lot of ways ways ways ways ways ways ways ways ways tha tha thia thia thia It's kind of easy to blame the pandemic, but in a lot of ways we were headed here already. Yeah. The generation younger than me is the most medicated, the most socially anxious, having the least amount of sex.

Is that connected to the importance of small talk? I think it can be because even before the pandemic we were kind of losing that face-to-face contact. We don't get the same psychological and emotional benefits when we just, you know, respond to a text or like a post on social media. Are we in a small-talk crisis? Yes. Wow. She really made small-talk seem important. It made me realize that maybe even I could get a little better at it. If I need to get better at small talk, who do I practice too? So you can practice in the mirror, or you could also get a small talk practice buddy. S-T-P-B. Just go there and be curious to get to know other people. But also know that you're going to be awkward and it's okay. And what if 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 feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel I feel th th th th th th th th th th th th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi to get to know other people but also know that you're going to be awkward and it's okay. And what if I feel the responsibility to initiate

conversation? Simply starting out, hi I'm Michael I don't think I've met you yet. What's your name? Hi I'm Michael. What's your name? Hi I'm Michael. What's your name? I have a little bit of lightness and intonation. Okay, hi I'm Michael. What's your name? Okay, hi I'm Michael. I'm Michael. I'm Michael.

Hello, what is your hometown? After weeks of talking to my reflection, my dog, and hiding from that co-worker I tried to to talk to in the elevator, I was finally ready to take my small talk on a test run.

Which one of your parents do you love more? Oh my god. So my small talk wasn't perfect, but to my surprise, I actually had some good conversations that didn't get super weird. How are you enjoying New York? It's a lot to take in.

Hey, I feel like we just had a nice conversation, and maybe the Small Talk was the bridge that got us there. Agreed, I think so. And I didn't have to even bring up my HPV. You didn't have to bring that up at all. Small Talk on three. One, two, three. small talk? No. Do I understand why we need it? Fine. Do I have any big plans this weekend? Well yes I do. Thanks for asking. Got it baby small talk expert. Thank you so much for that Michael Lauer. Stay tuned because when we come back Sherry Shepard

Anywhere? I've never been to Africa. Let me tell you something. Mothers love me in Africa. I've never been, but I know, I know well I order it from DoorDash and I put it on to China. I just know, I fit in with families. Okay, that's probably why you're going to make such a great host for a new show. I should say, welcome to the Daily Show and more importantly, I should say welcome to New York because you move to New York. Oh, that's right. To make I'm here in New York. I am here in New York.

the view for seven seasons with Barbara and Whoopi in Joy and Elizabeth and so to do my own, it's literally a dream come true. I've been, I used to talk to my teddy bears with like the toilet paper roll and I would put it in front of their faces and I would do that and when I was a legal secretary I I would sign my name Sherry so it's like I always thought about doing a talk show. So you wait let's go back so you interviewed the teddy bears. I did. As an adult or child what how old were you? When I was a child? Okay no, no, I do grown men now.

I don't do steady bears anymore. Trevor, what? No, sir. Oh, it feels like you were made for this role. Like, people love you on TV, you act, you're in comedy, but this is a different type of job, because it is your show. It's going to be daily. You're going to be talking about everything. Let's talk aboutthat part of the show because, you know, you're going to be in daytime TV where a lot of people go, oh, don't do politics, and don't do certain parts of comedy. It feels like you're bringing everything that makes you who you are to the show. Tell me a little bit about that. I am, you know what, because I have, I love politics, I could sit and talk about it, 247, but I'm very clear. is joy, fun, and laughter because we go through so much in our day. I think we get desensitized.

I love that. And I want you to be able to come because they can get it from you, they can get the news from the view, from Wolf Blitzer, but I want you to come to my show and laugh. I want you to have a good time. That's all I want. need. We're both stand-up comics. Yes. I have to make you laugh. And so if that's what you want, I want you to turn into Sherry. We're just going to be tuning into the show. We're going to be laughing. You're also going to be showcasing comedians, which I love. Like you have a special segment on the show for

stand-up comedians specifically. It's Sherry's laugh lounge because I have been a I used to go and I would get bumped by Tommy Davidson, Marlon Wayans, all of them. And I would just sit there to one in the morning, and I would play in front of one person. And I go, if somebody would just give me a chance, and that is what I want to do with comics. I know so many comics. I love that. Yes. That is my mission. You know, because you know, there are comics around Trevor who just, they just 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, tho, tho, tho, thi, I, thi, tho, tho, I would just, I would just, I would just, and I would just, and I would just, and I would just, and, and, and, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I, I, I, I, I would, I, I, I, I, I, I would, you know, there are comics around Trevor who just, they just need the exposure, but they can't sit on the couch, you know how that world is, but you can come and sit with me and you make people laugh and hopefully that'll open, like what

Johnny Carson used to do. I did it with, you know, Jay Leno, he had me to do stand-up, and it changed my world. It feels like you have an energy about you, you, their, to, their, to, their, thapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapap, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you.

But you've never been that kind of person. It's almost like you have a joyous way of seeing whatever's happening in the world.

I do. I just, I've just grown up going, you got it, there's a silver lining in everything. You just have to know how to find it. And I am a woman of a certain age, and I want women to to to to to to look 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 womenomenomenomene womene womene womene womeneoomomomomomome woomeoomber woomome woomber o'eroeshiwiwiwi woomki woom ifoomk. tooes woes woes woes woes woes woes woes woes woes woes woes woes woes woes woes woes. the woes. the woes. the woes. the woes. the woes. the the woes. the the woes. the the woes. the the woes. the the woomber. tooomber. tooomber. the the woomoomoomoioioomoomoioomoomoomoomoomoomber. the the woomoomber wo for you too. I used to struggle. Right. So I know this. You know, I want people to know that joy.

I want people to get past the fear because I'm a big believer and run towards a thing that scares you. Wait, really? Yes. Yes. Yes. And see, I know, and I know I said, I said, I want, I want, I want, I want... I think you should run away from the thing that scares you. No, uh-uh, I'm like, the thing that scares you. That's why it scares you.

But you know what? It scares you, but if you go towards you. But you know what? It scares you? to go to pick her up. I mean, pick it up. It's heavy, but you know, run towards it. That's what I enjoy about your journey because it's like, you're going into a show. You know, you've been doing the stand-up, you've been doing the acting, what you're doing is extremely hard. Coming to New York. I mean, you know, LA has like a vibe. You've seen, I mean, you've seen that video of like that Mercedes crashing into that other car.

That's New York. That's New York. That's New York is crazy. Is that the people walking by in that video don't even stop. They don't, they, you know, I'm telling you. I'm telling you. I'm trying to say goodbye. That's how we are in LA. Like, it's too much.

When we say we're going to go to lunch in LA, it's just like, I'm trying to get out of the conversation. We don't mean it. But New Yorkers are very, even riding the subway. Like, everybody looks at there, She's like, hello, I am blind and I need money and I had a fire in my place and she's like, girl, you so funny, I am blind. And I need your help. New Yorkers hustle.

It's another world. It's another world and I love it. So you're at the beginning of a new show. Everything is an opportunity. Everything is a possibility. It kicks off on September 12th. I want to know if you could fast forward for it to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be, to be, to be, to be, to, the to, the the to, the the the to, the to, the their, their, to, to, to, to, to, to, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th........ And, the, the, the, the, the, the, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi..eeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. And, thi. And, th if you could fast forward to five years, ten years, however many years you want to be doing the show, what is the thing you want to leave people saying afterwards when they go like, man that's Sherry Shepard show it did, it was it, you know? I think

I want people to say Sherry Shepard gave me joy. Sheppard made me feel good. That's what I think you have to know who you are when you walk in. I think women we also have a problem with that knowing what is unique about us. And so, you know, that is what is unique about me. I want to make you smile and feel good. So I hope that people leave saying that. And women, and I hope you leave going, Sherry taught me how to negotiate my money. Never take the first offer. Never. Let me tell you something. No. Say no. I want them to say, Sherry taught me how to say no. I love this. That's right.

Well, if you ask me out, I'm going to say no. They don't apply to this right here. But Sherry taught me how to say no. You see, you got to go for what you want. I don't know when I'm going to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be the the the the to be to be to be the the to be the the to say the the their their to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say their their to say their their their s s s s s s s s s s s s s s'a. today. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. to gonna be sitting behind this desk.
