You're listening to Comedy Central. When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television. Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives. But that's all about to change. Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible. I'm Seth Done of CBS News. Listen to 60 Minutes, a second look on Apple podcasts starting September 17th.

January 21st, 2020. From Comedy Central's World News headquarters in New York. This is the Daily Show with Trevor Noah, Ears Edition. Welcome to the Daily Show, everybody. Thank you so much for tuning in. Thank you for coming out. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Let's do this, people. Take a seat, let's make a show. I'm Trevor Noah. Our guest tonight is an actor who stars in the new Comedy Central show, Aquafina is Nora from Queens. Bedi Wong is joining us, everybody. Also on tonight's show, it's Hillary versus Bernie all over again. A wrestling match gets violent, and Mitch McConnell is taking the Senate to school. So let's catch up on today's headlines. Let's kick things off with some good news from the airline industry, where one successful

company is thanking its employees in the only way that counts with cash. We're learning more about a mega bonus that employees at Delta Airlines are getting. The company was so profitable last year is giving back $1.6 billion. The bonus equals about two months extra pay for each employee. One reason the company has such a good year is it does not fly the Boeing 737 Max, which has been grounded for months. That's right. Delta crushed it this year, mostly because they have planes that can land. Yeah, which is apparently something customers prefer.

And it's ironic. It's really ironic. Because last year, people were shitting on Delta for not having the newest planes. Right? Then new planes started crashing, and so now Delta's in the lead. Yeah. You know what, this is how your friend with a flip phone feels, whenever someone with an iPhone gets hacked? Yeah? They're just like, that's right. Who's got the lame-ass phone now? Yeah, if you want to hack my to hack to hack to my house, you I-cloud having moth-flappe. Now if you excuse me, I have to make a call because I can't text. Hello. So, good for Delta, sharing their profits with employees.

Of course, not to be outdone, Spirit Airlines has announced that they're going to let their employees keep any gum they find under the armrests. Spirit Airlines. Our planes don't have trash cans. They are trash cans. Moving on. Moving on to the world of sports. Have you ever watched your team losing and wish that you could jump in to help? Well, that's exactly what this North Carolina dad did. A North Carolina man was arrested after getting too involved in his son's high school wrestling

match. At one point, the wrestler in the gray uniform picks up the wrestler in the black uniform, slams under the ground. The referee ruled the move was illegal and blew the whistle, but moments later a man runs out, knocks the wrestler to the ground. It was the other boy's dad. The man was arrested, charged with assault and disorderly conduct. God damn! What was that father thinking? You can't just run in from the sidelines and beat up a teenager? Your son has to tag you in first. Come on. Rules of wrestling. And if you think that's bad, you should have seen him at his daughter's ballet recital. That shit is insane. And look, I get the dad's anger. But you realize this this this this this this think this this this think this this this think this this thing this this thing thi thi this thi thi's thi's thin, thin, the thin, the the other thin' the other the other thin' the other the other the other thin' the, the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other thin' thin' th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin' thin' thin' thin' thin, thin, thin, thin, the is the the the o' the o' the o' theat, that, that, that, shit is insane and look I get the dad's anger but you realize this thing could have gotten out of hand right because no one thinks about this but what

if the other wrestler's dad saw it happen and then he jumped in right and then what if the first dad's dad jumped in to help him then the other guy's grandfather jumped in the coffin just the the theyn't the the the the other the other other other other other other other other other other other other other other other the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. their. their. their their their their their. their. their. their. the other the other the other the other their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their their their their their their th. th. th. I I I I I I I I I I I I's th. I's th. I I I's th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. th. th. th. all of them. Gotta think of these things. But this is why I never bring my mom to the Emmys. Parents are really competitive. Yeah. If I brought my mom to the Emmys, and then she sees me lose to John Oliver, she'll rush the podium and tackle him to the ground. Yeah, poor John will be on the way, that's no South Africa, not South Africa. All right, and finally, speaking of surprise tackles, Hillary Clinton is back in the news,

and this time she's coming for Bernie. This morning, we are hearing for the first time explosive comments from Hillary Clinton about her 2016 Democratic challenger, Bernie Sanders. In an interview with the Hollywood reporter, Clinton will not commit to backing Sanders if he is the Democratic nominee in 2020., Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, th, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, thi thi, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, thi, Hillary, Hillary, thi, Hillary, Hillary, thi, Hillary, Hillary, thi, thi, Hillary, thi, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, thi, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, is 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 to to too, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Clinton will not commit to backing Sanders if he is the Democratic nominee in 2020. She also doubles down on comments that she made in an upcoming documentary in which she said, quote, nobody likes him, nobody likes him, nobody likes him, nobody likes him, he's, nobody likes him, he's thio'n, he's thiii.

This is Hillary, this is Hillary Clinton. He was a career politician. It's all just baloney. And I feel so bad that people got sucked into it. The reporter asked, does that assessment still hold? And she says, yes, it does. And then she goes on. If he gets the nomination, will you endorse and campaign for him?

And she says, I'm not going to go there yet. Hillary, what are you doing? The election is just about to begin, and now you're coming out throwing punches? This is not the time to reopen old wounds. You can just say, as Democrats, we always support our nominee, and then go home and punch that bag you have with Bernie's face on it. Because like what does that even mean? Hillary won't support Bernie? So if he's the nominee, who else is she going to campaign? 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 to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be the election, the election, their their their their their their their their their their their their the election. the election. the election. the election. the election. the election. the election. the election. the election, the election, the election, the election, the election, the election, the election, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to be tho thoe thoe. thoe. thoe. thooe. the. thooe. the. thii. thi. thi. their their their mean? Let's be honest, what does that mean? Hillary won't support Bernie? So if he's the nominee, who else is she going to campaign for? Trump?

Actually, I'd love to see that. I won't like, I mean. No, that would be amazing. If Trump was just up there, Ladies and gentlemen, hello everybody, lock me up, lock me up, lock me up. But look, Matt, as much as I don't agree with Hillary's timing, I don't think she's completely wrong about Bernie not being well liked in Washington,

because Bernie himself has said this, right? He said, he doesn't do pleasant trees, he's not trying to be nice with people, he doesn't shmooze and rub elbows, he's just there to do what he's there to do. And honestly that's what I like about Bernie. His personality is kind of like the beginning of a Snickers commercial. You know, it's just like, Bernie, you're not yourself. bullshit I don't like chocolate and I don't like you get that shit out of my face all right that's it for the headlines let's move on top story today was a historic day for the United States and not just because the Lincoln Memorial finally got a standing desk no today was historic because it was the first day of Donald Jesus

Trump's impeachment trial. A trial where the Republican-controlled Senate will decide whether the president is innocent or if he is in fact the most innocent man in the history of innocence. So let's check in on the latest developments in another installment of the magical, wonderful road to impeachment. So, magical, beautiful road to the peace and you're there we go. It's probably presidential harassment. So, the third presidential impeachment trial in American history began today. And because impeachment is such a momentous occasion, the Senate had to kick things off with a formal proclamation.

The U.S. Senate is about to take on an historic and perhaps grueling task, the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump. Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye. All persons are commanded to keep silent on pain of imprisonment. While the Senate of the United States is sitting for the trial of the articles of impeachment exhibited by the House of Representatives against Donald John Trump, President of the United States. Okay, someone needs to get this due to Red Bull. No, because he's announcing impeachment, but it sounds like a medieval times employee Okay, someone needs to get this dude to Red Bull. No, because he's announcing impeachment, but it sounds like a medieval times employee on his last day.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't get paid enough for thine bullshit. Yeah, yeah, yeah, is one of those phrases that has to be shouted. Certain phrases have to be shouted like, make some noise or you're not even my real dad. Gotta shout certain things. And despite the ASMR intro, Trump's impeachment trial is already filled with drama. Just look at the All-Star Defense Team President President Trump put together. This is an insane team that Trump collected. It's got Ken Star, the lawyer who is famous for doing the investigation that led to Bill Clinton's impeachment. And it's got Alan Dershawitz, who's famous for defending O.J. Simpson.

So these lawyers are perfect for Trump because they have experience with super guilty people and super horny presidents. It's great. It's a combination. But I will say this. Trump's lawyers may want to polish up their defense strategy because things have already gotten off to a rocky start. The president's legal team offering the first glimpse of their defense. That the president did nothing wrong, did not commit a crime, and that even the Democrats' argument of abuse of power does not rise to an impeachable offense,

something one of his lawyers' lawyers lawyershowitz maintained over the weekend. The articles of impeachment are two non-criminal actions. But many constitutional scholars disagree. Trump's lawyer Alan Dershwitz himself once argued the opposite during the Clinton impeachment. It certainly doesn't have to be a crime if you have somebody who completely corrupts the office of president. Yes, it turns out that over the past 20 years, Alan Dershwitz's legal opinions have changed

as much as his hairstyles. Because you see, right now he's saying abuse of power is not an impeachable offense, but back in the 90s he says it was. And look, I mean, we all did something we regret in the 90s. I mean, I walked around in that Missy Elliott outfit for a whole year. Here, every time I left the house, the garbage men try to throw me in the truck. But according to Dershwitz, this is really interesting, what he said in the 90s was in fact correct, and what he's saying now is also in fact correct. Previously you said it doesn't have to be a crime if the guy if the if the person in office completely corrupts the office of

president now you're saying criminal like so you're not so corrupting the office of the president is that in your criminal light or criminal like no no it's not and that was rejected that was rejected by the you were wrong back then I was saying that was rejected by the framers. You were wrong back then. I was saying that I'm much more correct right now, having done all the research, because that's the issue. I didn't do the research back then because that wasn't an issue. I've done the research now.

I wasn't wrong. I am just far more correct now than I was then. Wait, what? What? I was wrong. I was wrong. I was wrong. I am th. I am the the the the the th. I am th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. tho. tho. tho. tho. I am just thi. I am just tho. I am just that that that that that that that that that that I am that I am just that I am just that I am just that. I am just that. I am just that. I am just that. I am just that. I am just that. I am just th. I am just th. I am just th. I am just th. I am just thi. I am just thi. thi. thi. thi. I am just thi. thi. thi. I am just thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooe. I am just. wasn't wrong. I am just far more correct now than I was then. That is one of the most original lines I have ever heard in my life. And that's a great line for a lawyer, but thank God this guy doesn't work on a bomb squad. Because that would be a disaster. He would just be like, cut the yellow wire. Wait, cut the red one. I already cut the yellow one. Yeah, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, 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, the the thi, the, and I's, and I's, and I's, and I's, and I's, and I's the the the the the the the the the the the the, and, and, and I's, and I's, and I's, and I's, and I's, and I's th. And, and I's th. And, and I's th. And, and I's th. And, and I's thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. thi. th th th the th thean th thean thean's thean thean's thean's thean's thi. thi. the yellow one. Yeah, well, I wasn't wrong about yellow, but the red one is more correct. Don't worry, we're not going to die. We're just going to be

less alive. So, that's where Trump's I Love the 90s legal team is at. And we'll see them make their arguments later this week. But today, the Senate was all about establishing the ground rules of this impeachment trial. And trial. And trid. And trie. And tri-one. And tri. And the th. And th. And th. And th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thoom. thoome, the thoome, thi. the thoom-up, 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. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. theeeee. to toeeee. to to theeee. the. the. the. the. the. of this impeachment trial. And it sounds like it's going to be a pretty tight ship. It is an historic day in Washington where the U.S. will meet in just a few hours to start the impeachment trial of the President of the United States. For the Senators today, it's going to feel like a really long day at school, you know, those cubbies that many of your kids have. The senators are gonna have to put their phones and electronics in those special boxes just off the Senate floor because they're not allowed to have them there.

They're not allowed to speak to the senators that are next to them or read anything that's not related to the trial. All of that on pain of imprisonment. Technically, a senator could get arrested if they tha thoom thoom tho tho tho tho that at that at thu thus thu thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the. the. the. the. the. the. they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they they they're they're 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 thean. to to to to to to to to toean. toean. toean. toean. thean. thean. the. to take a bathroom break that wasn't approved. Damn, no talking, no phones, no unapproved bathroom breaks, or you could go to jail. These poor senators, it doesn't sound like a trial, it sounds like detention. Yeah. Remember in school when you were just locked up, just sitting there? I just imagine them sitting inside the Senate chamber now, looking out the window as Nancy Pelosi and the other house reps play kickball

outside. Nancy's just like, wow we're having so much fun. I can't wait to go to the bathroom without getting arrested. Now now most of those rules are standard. Those are standard rules for impeachment trials and they're designed to make sure that the senators are paying attention and that they're focused. But now now now now now now now now th but th but the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. their. th. th. their. their th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. the. their their their. their their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their.

I'm just. tea. tea. tea. te. te. tethe senators are paying attention and that they're focused. But Mitch McConnell has introduced some other rules for this trial, and they're clearly designed to get this thing over with as fast as possible. If Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has his way, the vote to convict or acquit President Trump will come sooner rather than later.

McConnell presenting his proposed trial rules that break from the Clinton model. Mitch McConnell releasing his long-awaited blueprint. Each side will have 24 hours over just two days to make their opening statements. It means senators could have to sit for 12-hour sessions, part of the Republican push for a faster trial. But Democrats say Republicans are trying to hide the president's misconduct in the dead of night. He could force presentations to take place at two or three in the morning. The McConnell resolution will result in a rush trial with little evidence in the dark of night. Literally the dark of night. Literally the dark of night.

We said that the dark of night. Literally the dark of night. But he said that, the dark of night. Literally the dark of night. But that is no joke, 12 hour sessions that last until the early morning. That's cruel for anyone, especially cruel for this group. I mean, these people are usually in bed by wheel of fortune. No one's up here until 2 a.m. And you know for a guy who shares so much DNA with turtles, McConnell sure wants to move fast. You know what I feel like?

I feel like McConnell will be the worst person to go on a date with. You know, because he seems like one of those people who would order the appetizer, the main course and the dessert all at the same time, you know, just to rush things along. You know, bring us the soup, the the steak, the steak, the steak, 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 tha, and sa, and sa, you're, you're, you're thoom, you're just, you're just, you're just, the their.

Morrow. Now, after some pushback from Susan Collins and other moderate Republicans, McConnell has now changed the rules at the last minute today, so that each side would have three days instead of two days to present their case. And a lot of people are saying Mitch McConnell was wrong to even try and rush this process

in the first place. But what people don't understand is Mitch wasn't wrong before. He's just more correct now. We'll be right back. When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television. Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives. But're rolling? But that's all about to change. Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible.

I'm Seth Done of CBS News, listened to 60 Minutes, a second look on Apple podcasts starting September 17. Welcome back to the Daily Show. As we spoke about before the break, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has recently come under fire for his Senate impeachment rules, his attempt to rush through the trial and for his performance in the movie Do Little. But for more, on the speedy Senate trial, we turn to a man who is also known for finishing quickly. Michael Costa, everybody.

Michael, you're at the Capitol right now. Don't these rules seem restrictive? No, maybe, Trevor, but we need rules. Without rules, civilization would collapse, and I would have to put on leather and fight rabid dogs for water, and not for fun like I do now. Rules are what makes society, like stand to the right on the escalator, or keep quiet when you're in a movie theater. And you know what I'm talking about, Trevor.

Why would I know what you're talking about? Look, all I'm saying is I think Black Panther already knew someone was behind him. He didn't need your help. Well I think I saved him, but let's move on. I get it, I get it. I get it. We need rules. But it seems like Mitch McConnell designed most of these rules to help Trump instead of having a fair trial.

Like the length of the trial is compressed. There might not be witnesses. Come on Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, the, tho, tho, th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, th. th. th. th. th. the, I'm, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I. the, I. the, I. the, I. the, I. the, I. the, I. the, I. the, I. the, I. the, I. the. the. the. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. these rules, okay? Each side gets equal time to make their case. Okay, Republicans will speak at 9 a.m. and then tomorrow, and the Democrats will speak at 6.30 on Super Bowl Sunday, okay? And the witness rules are equal to. Both sides are free to Sabina, any of the contestants from Celebrity Apprentice. And hey, some of the rules even favor the Democrats. This rule says that only Democrats get free iced tea all day long, and it's right after the rule that says absolutely no bathroom breaks.

No bathroom breaks and free ice tea sounds like the Democrats are being set up. And Costa, look, it's obvious that Mitch McConnell is trying to brush this whole impeachment thing under the rug. I mean, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, it, it, it, it, it, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's th, it's th, it's thus, it's thus, it's thus, it's thus, it's thi, th-a, th, th, the, thi, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th. th. the, th. thi, the, the, the, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the, the, the, the the the the the thean, thean, thean, thean, the the the the the the the the the to brush this whole impeachment thing under the rug. I mean, the press have even complained that he's restricted how they can cover proceedings. That's fine. Okay, we don't even need the press in that room. Everything will be covered by Mitch magazine, okay? It's like O magazine, but only for Mitch. It's very unpopular. Now, if you excuse me, Trevor, I had some of that free ice tee for for th for te tee te te te te te te tea for tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, the th, th it gave me Climidia so. Costa, ice tea can't give you Climidia.

Either way, I have Climidia. So. All right, well, Michael Costa, everyone, we'll be right back. When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television. Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives. But that's all about to change. Like none of this stuff gets looked at.

That's what's incredible. I'm Seth Done of CBS News. Listen to 60 Minutes. South, September 17th, wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back to the daily show. My guest tonight is a Tony Award-winning theater, film and television actor, who stars in the new series on Comedy Central called Aquafina is Nora from Queens. Please welcome, Bidie Wong.

Welcome, Bidie Wong. Welcome to The Daily Show. These people are very nice. They are very, very nice people. Thank you. Welcome to the show. Yes, thank you for having me.

Congratulations on yet another show. I feel like you are one of those people that I have watched my entire life, and yet you have never aged. I just know you in every movie, like you have the same face, and you've played such a wide birth of role. You play villains, you play good guys, you play like extreme characters, like in Mr. Robot, like one of the baddest people and one of the most complicated characters. Now you're playing a dad in a comedy. Is this a big departure for you?

It is. It really is. I don't play a lot of like kind of heteronormitive, nice-n with, you know, a nice relationship to his his sweet but troubled daughter. It's a new thing for me and it's also a comedy in a way that it's refreshing for me because I've been doing a lot of serious stuff. I kind of rediscovered after I left Law and Order Sview, which I was on for 11 years. I rediscovered... I rediscovered that I was a character actor. And that I really started really getting into like reacquainting myself with that super creative kind of transformative kind of work. And so then after Mr. Robot, which just finished its last season, this show came along

and it was kind of the perfect thing for me to kind of stretch different muscles, comedy muscles that I hadn't used in decades, and kind of a sweetness, a warm quality, of a family kind of quality, which I really like. The show has a really beautiful storyline and arc to it, because it feels genuine. It's about this family who is Asian, but then it's not like about them being Asian. They're just Asian. Yeah. And then they have a life and they have a story.

And then people, I don't know if people really understand how rare that is for us, for my community, the Asian community, that for us to have a family that's not there because they're Asian and because of our representation is so kind of low, that it is a kind of meaningful thing to see a family that's just being a family and having family issues that are not really. So therefore it's kind of even more universal than an Asian show that's super Asian specific. And it's nice that way. I've craved it. And so it's nice to be involved in it. I was in Margaret Cho show in the 90s thatthat was All-American girl. I think that was the first Asian-American family, yeah.

Yeah, and so, you know, when I compare the experience that I had on Margaret's show, Margaret struggled a lot and not, for any reasons that were related to Margaret, and Margaret was a different time, and Marquiffina some ways shoehorned into a kind of corporate idea of what Margaret could be. And Aquifina is allowed to really do her thing. Aquifina has taken the initiative to hire writers around her and surround herself with many

women writers and people of color as well as directors and I think it shows in the final product. We don't flinch about all of the things that we're describing in the show that are either specifically Asian or related to being Asian because they're all kind of from and created by the people who really know what those things are. It comes from an authentic place. It does. Right. It's interesting because I remember Michelle Yo said that after which was really beautiful, she said, we have no problem laughing at ourselves, but laugh with us, not at us. Yes, absolutely. And there was a history of us being laughed at

or derided or whatever. Yes. It took a, it has taken us a long time to even teach people that there's a difference, you know, the difference between those two things. You have a career that is now that that that is now, that is now, that is now, that is now, that is now, tha, it spans from comedy shows all the way to giant movies. You know, like the Jurassic Park slash Jurassic World franchise is one that you have been an intricate part of. Did you ever predict that you would become basically the bad person in

a juror? I mean, there's dinosaurs. Yeah. And like there's like raptors and tearxes and it's like, no, you're the bad guy. That's pretty wild. Because 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, I, I, I, I, I, like, like, like, like, like, like, I, 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, wild. Because I made them, yeah, because they, I'm also, yes, I don't, well, I don't know what to say about that. I mean, I, what does it feel like being a propet? He was a very benign character in the first movie. Yes, that's another movie coming out you know in a year and a half. All of these things, Trevor, it's like I feel very lucky and they just kind of come to me and I'm very lucky that I don't, that I have this wealth of a menu of things that I get

to choose from and get to do them because it really does allow me to explore my creativity as a character actor and as a creative person. And I hate to say the G word, I'm grateful, you know, for... Oh, I didn't know what the G word. I was like, this is a G word now? I was like, there's a G word? I think you can say grateful. I think you can say grateful. I think I thak, I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I that, I that, I that, I that, I that, I that, I that, I that, I that, I that, I that, I that, I that, I that, I that, I that, I hate that, I hate that, I hate that, I hate, I hate, I hate, I hate, I hate, I hate, I hate, I hate, I hate, I hate, I hate, I hate, I hate, I hate, I hate, I hate, I hate, I hate, I that, I that, I that, I that, I that, I that, I that, I that, I that, I that, I that, I hate that, I hate that, I hate that, I hate that, I hate that, I hate the the that, hate the that, hate the the that, hate the the that, I hate the the g. grateful on the show. I've been talking about gratefulness in my therapy. But you can say grateful. Is that like front of us? No, but I think I have an issue.

It's isn't that we shouldn't get into it right now. But it is a thing that I feel is overused, easily overused. I understand. I understand. I understand. That's my yes, okay. Yes, right. Yeah, but I think you are hashtag blessed and we are hashtag grateful for you Seeing you on the screen in an amazing new show. Thank you so much I really appreciate it. Thank you very much
