Thank you so much for tuning in. Thank you, everybody. I'm really excited. I'm really excited. Our guest tonight is from Atlanta and the new movie Hotel Automist Brian Tyree Henry is here everybody! First, let's get straight into it. It is officially swimsuit season, unless you miss America. New this morning has just been announced that the Miss America pageant is scrapping the swimsuit competition. What? Yeah, Gretchen Carlson, a former Miss America and the organizations board there just revealed
Starting point is 00:01:40 the change. The competition is also switching up the evening wear portion. Women will not be judged on the gown they choose. Instead, they will be asked to demonstrate their passion, intelligence, and overall understanding of the job of Miss America. It's going to be what comes out of their mouth that we're interested in when they talk about their social impact. Wow. No more swimsuit competition. This really is great news for the Miss America pageants.
Starting point is 00:02:05 And devastating news for all the young boys who have no access to porn. And I think it's great that they're trying to remove the objectifying element from Miss America, right? But I think they're underestimating the reptilian brain of men. Because if you remove the swimsuits, you realize men are just going to find something else to purve, right? Guys are going to be at home like, oh man, check out her biochemistry degree, yeah. And you know what, you know when you think about it? Like I was just, I was just looking through this news and I was going, the swimsuit competition did feel a bit outdated. Because when the pageants started 90 years ago,
Starting point is 00:02:36 it was only about swimsuits. It was just the Middle East. You know, in fact, sometimes their answers were better than actual presidential candidates. Like, they would have an answer, and Trump would be like, Bing, Bang, Bang, bang, bang. So I think actually what we should do is let the Miss America wear whatever they want and make presidential candidates wear bikinis. Yeah, that's what we should do. Which, you know what's weird is, I, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, thi, 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, th, th, th, their, their, their, their, their, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, is thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi, weird is, I don't know if that makes Ted Cruz any more or less off-putting.
Starting point is 00:03:06 I don't know. I don't know how I feel about that image. Moving on to the world of technology, the world's biggest tech company is making some changes of its own. Apple has unveiled the latest software for its mobile devices, with some exciting new, te. Apple unveiled features to make devices more appealing. These include new animated emogees and updates to its augmented reality platform.
Starting point is 00:03:30 There's now group video chat accommodating as many as 32 people on FaceTime. iOS 12 will allow you to see how much time you're spending on various iPhone or iPad apps and we'll let you put time limits on your usage. Okay, first of all, the iPhone already has a feature that limits your usage. It's called the battery, okay? And that whole 32 people on FaceTime? Well, like, what is that?
Starting point is 00:03:56 I feel like somehow it's going to turn into me with 31 screens of my mom. Just my mom going like, I don't understand. And I'll be like, stop calling me on every line. Like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, I don't understand, and I'll be like, stop calling me on every line! Like, why would Apple want FaceTime to support 32 people? That's just pressuring me to get 30 more friends. It's unnecessary. No, you tell me, who the hell has that many friends, huh? Apple is just inventing features to make you feel bad about yourself.
Starting point is 00:04:18 That's all they're doing. Yeah, the next feature is probably going to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be the the their their th, th, th, th, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,that starts at nine inches. Oh, look at that. I can't use it. And what's, you know what's weird about this whole thing is that Apple says they want to help us use the phone less, but then they're adding features to make us want to use the phone more. Yeah, it's like AA t for the 500th consecutive day of the Trump presidency, there is drama coming out of this administration. After the Super Bowl, it's customary for the winning team to visit the White House. The same way in England how the winner of Wimbledon gets to arm-wrestle the Queen.
Starting point is 00:04:57 She wins every time. That's why she's still the Queen. Well, anyways, this year year, most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most the Super. the Super the Superbowl. the Superbowl. the Super. the Superbowl. the Superbowl. the Super 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their. their. their. their. their. their. their. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. th th th th the. th the. the. the. th. th. the Queen. Well, anyways, this year, most of the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles said that they would not be visiting President Trump. And so the President replied, I broke up with you first. Instead of being stood up, President Trump is backing out. He disinvited the Philadelphia Eagles from visiting the White House today after reports fewer than 10 players planned to attend the ceremony, celebrating the ceremony
Starting point is 00:05:25 celebrating their Super Bowl victory. The president tweeting, unfortunately only a small number of players decided to come and we can'tled the event. Huh, that's weird. Trump is canceling events if a lot of people aren't showing up. That must be a new policy. Huh. Can we just acknowledge how weird it is that under Trump no one wants to visit 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the. Wea the the the the the the the the the the the their their their their 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 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 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 president. the president. the president. how weird it is that under Trump no one wants to visit the White House anymore.
Starting point is 00:05:50 Right? The Golden State Warriors wouldn't go last year. The Eagles won't go this year. In fact, the Cleveland Browns released a statement saying the only reason they've never won the Super Bowl is because they don't want to meet Trump. Yeah. Apparently they're not losing, they're hashtag resisting. It's gotten so bad that like, they can't get anyone to visit.
Starting point is 00:06:09 I wouldn't be surprised if like, Jared Kushner's gonna be on the corner trying to get people in. It's just like, come on to the White House. Ladies getting free. And now, if you were the president and 40 out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out their their their their their their the they weren't coming to your party. You'd probably be embarrassed, right? Or, or you'd come up with a crafty excuse about how those players didn't stand you up. They stood America up. Donald Trump saying the Eagles disagree with their president because he insists that they
Starting point is 00:06:36 proudly stand for the national anthem, adding, the team wanted to send a smaller delegation, but fans deserve better. The White House has now rebranded the day as a celebration of America. The president invited fans to attend a different celebration, one that he says will honor our great country and loudly and proudly play the national anthem. He's simple but he's brilliant. Yeah. Think about it. Whenever Trump is losing an argument, he just grabs the anthem and then he holds it in front of himself. That's all he does. He just holds it in front of
Starting point is 00:07:06 him. He's not like, you wouldn't hurt the anthem, would you? Would you? Well, it's the anthem? He probably uses the anthem to win arguments all the time. Melania is probably like, not tonight, Donald. I'm not in. So instead of throwing an eagle celebration, the president hosted an anthem party. And if you're thinking, I've never heard of an anthem party. Yeah, there's no such thing. But still, it featured all your favorite sport stars, like Mike Pence and Secretary of the Treasury Steve the Noochin. You know, and you would think that if you invited people over for a patriotism party,
Starting point is 00:07:46 you would at least know the words to America's favorite songs. From the mountains to the prairies to the oceans, I would go. God that's America, my home's be gone. My home's be gone. God bless America, my homes begin. Oh, America. Yeah, look, I mean, the song's only been around for a hundred years. He hasn't had time to learn the words. Don't judge him. And you know, I'm not going to lie. Like, I'm tired of this whole Trump anthem kneeling debate.
Starting point is 00:08:24 He says, he's outraged that the players disrespect the flag and the anthem. But the truth is, last year, the Eagles never even ran that play. During the regular season, the postseason, there was never an incident of a Philadelphia Eagles player getting down on a kneel during the National Anthem. The Eagles were not among the players who kneeled for the national anthem. I'm starting to think that President Trump might be full of shit. I'm starting to think that. The truth is we know he cares less about NFL players, quote, unquote, disrespecting America than he does about just keeping the issue going because it works for him politically. Because Trump bragged to the owner of the Dallas Cowboys that, quote,
Starting point is 00:09:08 this is a very winning, strong issue for me. This one lifts me. It's like the anthem is Patrick Swayze and I'm baby. It lifts me. But whether or not this issue is a winner for Trump in general, I think that this time he might have messed up. Because you realize the Eagles come from Pennsylvania.
Starting point is 00:09:29 And Pennsylvania is a swing state, a swing state that Trump only won by about 44,000 votes, which is less than one stadium full of Eagles fans. And now he's picking a fight with those same fans. This is not the group you want to pick a fight with. Remember, these are the same the same the same the same the same the same the same are the same are the same are the same are the same are the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same thi-eageageageagues ththose same fans. This is not the group you want to pick a fight with. Remember, these are the same people that almost burnt down their own city when they were happy. Yeah. These are the fans who commemorated one of the best days of their lives by literally eating
Starting point is 00:09:58 hoarse shit. And you want to start a fight with them? If I were you, Mr. President, I would quit while I was ahead, because between you and the Eagles, we all know who's going to come out on top. We'll be right back. Hey, I'm Ben Mycelus. I'm Brett Mycelus. And I'm Jordy. We are the reporting on the issues that matter most, without

Starting point is 00:11:05 Welcome back to the Daily Show. As you may know, this month is the Muslim Holy Month of Ramadan. And last year, President Trump received a lot of criticism when he became the first president in two decades not to host an official Ramadan dinner. In response, Trump said, I have no problem with Ramadan, I just don't like Muslims. But it looks like this year he's changing his tune. Tomorrow, President Trump will host a dinner recognizing the Muslim Holy Month of Ramadan. The event was not
Starting point is 00:11:38 held last year. The move is a return to White House tradition. So far a guest list has not been made available. Yeah, President Trump, making Ramadan great again. For more on this news, we wandered around the building and pulled in the first Muslim we saw, Hassan Minaj, everybody! What's up, Hassan? What's up, the White House?
Starting point is 00:11:56 What's up, the White House Ramadan dinner is back on the calendar officially. How big of a deal is this? I mean, it's huge, Trevor. Ramadan is the month where Muslims cleanse themselves by fasting all day. That means no eating, no drinking, no cursing, indefinitely no face filters. We know you're not a puppy, no lying during the holy month, okay? Ramadan is like Lent and Yam Koppur combined. It's the ultra-marathon of sacrifice.
Starting point is 00:12:27 So it's nice when the president acknowledges that with the dinner. Yeah, but Hassan, how does it feel to have Donald Trump host that dinner? Yeah, I'll be honest, Trevor, when I heard the news, I was deeply offended. Of course, thrown, that I wasn't invited. Wait. Wait, wait. You want to be invited? Of course I do. I mean, it is going to be a train wreck. Trump in Ramadan. That's like Mel Gibson hosting a Passover Seder.
Starting point is 00:12:54 Who wouldn't want to see whatever that is? Okay, well, if you weren't invited, why don't just find another Muslim who is going to be there plus one? Oh, just chain migration my way into the dinner? I wish! I don't even know who's going. I've asked all my friends. I have scoured them internet, which is like the Muslim internet, it's like black
Starting point is 00:13:13 Twitter. Um, nothing. It is killing me. with my man Dinesh Tesuza. Hassan, Dinesh Tisuza is not a Muslim. I know that. You know that. Trump doesn't know that. I will say this, though. Any Muslim who goes to this event is truly devout.
Starting point is 00:13:35 What do you mean by that? I mean, this is the month of enduring hardship, and this dinner is going to be Hall of Fame hardship. You are coming off of 16 hours of no food, no water. You're tired, you're delirious. And then Mr. Travel Ban walks into the room, and because it's Ramadan, you're not even allowed to curse that orange-tinted, mother-of-I'm sorry, I'm fasting.
Starting point is 00:14:00 See, now that's a test from God. Yeah, I'm sure you know this, Hassan, Hass Hass Hass Hass Hass Hass Hass Hass Hass Hass Hass Hass Hass, this, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm th. I'm fasting. See, now that's a test from God. Yeah, well, I'm sure you know this, Hassan, but there's a lot of speculation about why Trump is hosting the dinner this year, right? Some people think it's because the Supreme Court is about to rule on his travel ban, and he doesn't want them to think that he hates Muslims. Other people think he's doing this becausethinking of converting to Islam. Wait, what? Think about it, Trevor. He doesn't drink alcohol. He doesn't work on Fridays. He named his casino,
Starting point is 00:14:38 the Taj Mahal. He's already 90% there. Plus, it would be so dope to have our second Muslim president. What's up, Mary? You know what I mean, Trump converting to Islam, I'd have an easier time believing that if Trump didn't hate Muslims so much. You know who also hates Muslims, Trevor? Muslims. Iran hates Saudi Arabia, Turkey hates Syria. Hassan Menage hates Kamal Nanjiani. Now Kamal? I told you to put me in the big sick. It was the perfect role for me, but no. You had to go with Zoe Kazan. And look what happened. Your movie was barely a major hit. You selfish mother fasting. I'm fasting.
Starting point is 00:15:23 I'm fasting. Hassan Menage, everybody. We'll be right back. You gotta hold it in. Welcome back to the Dennis show.

Like, why not just go into music, be the real paper boy and then just go for an EGOT? I mean, because I want to stay in my lane a little bit.

Starting point is 00:16:49 I'm not here to take it all. I am. No. No. Let's talk a little bit about that in a moment. But what is what is the premise of Hotel Autonomous? It's a really interesting story. I don't want to give too much a way but first of all Jody Foster, that's one. Right. So it's a hotel for criminals during a water drought, right? And so it's a hotel. their hotel, thrown in a water drought, right? thrown in the thrown. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thate, thate, that, that, that, th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi.

It's a warder riot going on and these criminals, Sterling and I, who are brothers, we get injured and we have to go to this hotel that is literally made for criminals.
Starting point is 00:17:28 You pay a membership and Jody Foster plays a nurse that takes care of all of us there, but we're not the only criminals that have checked in that same day. It's a really crazy premise. The two of you being brothers, funny enough. The two are brown. 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, thi, that, that, that, that, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, 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. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th story in terms of a crazy world because in real life you two are best friends I didn't know this. Yeah I've known him for over 11 years we actually he went to NYU for grad school here and after I graduated from Yale I came to New York and started doing theater and we have been doing like plays here ever since but we never got to act in scenes together we were always what I call acting adjacent so like I know he's over there to their. 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. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they. to to to to to to to to to to to they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. their. their. their. they. the. the. the. the. the. they. the. they. they. they. 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. the. the. the. the. the. the.

So like I know he's over there talking but I'm like I don't have any scenes with him but but like so we were acting adjacent so this time we finally

It's still unbelievable. Because he he he got he got he got he got he got he got he got he he he he he got he got he got he got he got he got he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he that he got he that he got to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. th. th. th. th. that. that. that he that he that he that he that he that he that he that he that he that he that he that he that he that's that's the. the. the. th. th. th. the. the. the. the the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the the. the the. the. role that got you nominated for the Emmy. Yeah, that's really... Don't say all that to him. Now he's going to know that and he's going to like run around and tell everybody that. Oh, you want him to be humble for what... Yes. Oh, okay. I mean, he already won to change the characters or do you get into the roles even deeper? No, it's, actually, you become more of a jackass because you're just playing all the time.
Starting point is 00:18:50 Right. Like, we're literally, we were there up, they're playing all the time. There was one moment, man, that, you know, my character gets injured and I'm laying, like, and I. And I, 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, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. Actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, I. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to. th. th. to. to, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, to. to. to. th. th. th. th. th. was his choice to give me mouth to mouth resuscitation. But he did not, that's not in the script. So after the director yells cut I was like, oh yeah that's what we're going to do, he's just going to put your mouth on mind. So right before he yells, action, I was like, you have the most tenderest lips I've ever felt. And he's like, action, I was like, I was like, I, I, I, the, the, I, th, the, th, th, th, the, th, th, th, th, th, th, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, the, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the director, the director..... So, the director, the director, the director, the director, the director, the director, the director, the director, that's, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not.a, that's not. that's not. that's, that's, that's, the director, the, to finish the scene. Right. And now the story has taken a completely different. It's all new. That'll be the sequel. It was a great time, man.
Starting point is 00:19:28 We spent a lot of time just playing and joking. And I feel like when you have a chemistry like that with somebody, it's infectious on sex.
