You're listening to Comedy Central.

0:07

From the most trusted journalists.

0:09

At Comedy Central, It's America's

0:11

only source for news. This

0:14

is the Daily Shown with your host, Jordan

0:17

Clipper.

0:40

Joe Gordon Clipper, we

0:43

got so much to talk about tonight. Joe Biden

0:45

is getting a celebrity makeover, New Yorkers

0:48

are furious that traffic might go

0:50

away, and Leslie Jones is joining

0:52

us tonight plus plus

0:58

plus the legend Hwe Lewis

1:00

will be here. Hold

1:04

on, let's get in a headline.

1:10

Let's begin with the breaking news. Sam Bankman

1:13

freed, disgraced crypto mogul

1:15

and man who got bitten by a radioactive

1:17

pube has

1:19

been sentenced to twenty five years

1:22

in prison for all his crypto

1:24

scams. Now hopefully

1:27

choke it up. Hopefully

1:29

this saga has taught people not

1:32

to fall for the easy money scam

1:34

that is bitcoin.

1:36

Bitcoin on fire, touching another

1:38

all time high yesterday, Bitcoin.

1:40

Hits another record. The world's largest cryptocurrency

1:42

surged above seventy two thousand dollars today, a

1:44

new all time high. Bye

1:47

Bitcoin use

1:50

kids college tuition accounts,

1:53

sure thing, Yeah, not a problem. Speaking

1:56

of money, Let's move on. To one of the foundational

1:58

principles of America democracy. Money

2:04

The green was out today when President Joe

2:06

Biden made history with the biggest one

2:08

day cash grab of all time.

2:11

The Biden campaign just announced that it's blinged

2:13

out fundraiser in New York tonight

2:15

has already raised twenty five million

2:19

dollars. The event will feature

2:21

former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton

2:23

in a huge list of others.

2:25

They will be assembling more than five thousand

2:27

supporters at Radio City Music Hall for

2:30

this first of its kind fundraiser. One

2:32

batch of supporters who will have a photo

2:34

taken by famed photographer Any Leibovitz

2:37

of themselves and the three president.

2:40

Wow Biden,

2:42

Obama, and Clinton all in one

2:45

show. It's like Coachella for the

2:47

kids who asked the teacher for more homework.

2:51

I mean, this fundraiser is serious.

2:53

Some people are spending five hundred

2:55

thousand dollars to be there. Guys,

2:58

I'm sorry, this just feels gross.

3:01

Five hundred thousand dollars for access to a

3:03

president. I mean, that's that's not how democracy

3:06

should work. Save that money for Supreme

3:08

Court justice. Much

3:11

better bang for your body. She's

3:13

fart shout

3:17

out for an RV and a jet ski and you're there. I

3:20

will say it must be a unique

3:22

experience to have your picture taken with three

3:25

presidents. And it's not just any photographer,

3:27

it's any Leibovitz, maybe the most

3:30

famous photographer. She did that

3:32

one of Debbie Moore pregnant and naked,

3:35

John Lennon hugging Yoko naked,

3:38

sting in the desert naked.

3:41

The point is you are going to have to be naked.

3:45

Don't worry. Bill Clinton is way ahead of you, so

3:49

it'd be fine, totally

3:51

hung Let's

3:55

move on, because while the presidents are

3:57

hob nobbing in New York City, the rest

3:59

of us have to deal with the traffic.

4:01

Now.

4:01

Every city is all too familiar with the side

4:03

effects of traffic delays, pollution,

4:06

flipping someone off a mile back and now

4:09

you're stuck next to them for an hour. But

4:16

now New York City might have just found

4:18

a solution.

4:19

Here in New York the first of the nation congestion

4:22

pricing plans set to begin soon.

4:24

Charging drivers are fifteen dollars toll

4:26

to enter Midtown Manhattan.

4:28

The MTA says seven hundred thousand

4:30

vehicles enter this part of the city

4:33

every weekday, and the new tolls will

4:35

help curb congestion and possibly

4:37

generate billions of dollars for improvements

4:39

to mass transit. But for many New

4:42

York City commuters, they're saying, no

4:44

thanks.

4:45

Another fifteen dollars just to get

4:47

to work, which is it's

4:49

absurd.

4:49

For each and every one of you.

4:52

There is a special place in half for you.

4:54

All right, Lucifer waits for you. He

4:57

waits for you.

5:03

He sounds bad, but

5:06

if you don't know in New York, that's a

5:08

typical greeting. Hey,

5:10

Jerry, Lucifer Winton, help for you? Your

5:13

son of a bench? How are the kids?

5:15

Sadie? Is she good? See you at

5:17

the Montessori drop off? You jack off? Now,

5:21

personally, I can see the upsides

5:24

to congestion pricing. It's better for the environment,

5:26

it reduces traffic. There's fewer

5:29

cars on the road, so there's more space

5:31

for you to get hit by delivery bikes. But

5:34

understandably, people are upset, and

5:37

the last thing I want is angry drivers

5:39

in New York. I mean, can you imagine New

5:43

York's already too expensive? A beer fifteen

5:46

dollars, grab a lunch, that's forty bucks.

5:48

You want to get a handy from Times Square, Elmo, not

5:51

in this economy. For

5:55

more on the congestion pricing, we go live

5:57

to Grace Cool and Schmidt. Yeah,

6:03

Grace, Grace,

6:05

you're also a commuter like me. I

6:08

assume you'll be sucking it up and paying the

6:10

congestion fee too.

6:12

Uh No, maybe you're a

6:14

sheep, but.

6:15

Not me, Grace. I'm

6:17

not a sheep. That's what you sound

6:19

like, Jordana.

6:22

I'm gonna assure you and make a lovely sweater.

6:25

Look, I'm not just gonna pay a congestion

6:28

fee just because the law says

6:30

I have to.

6:31

That's not what America is about. Check

6:33

your constitution, bro.

6:36

You mean the document that is a collection of

6:38

laws. That's what you're talking about. Okay,

6:41

Okay, Grace, Grace, Grace,

6:44

Grace, you can't avoid the fee. They'll have

6:46

cameras that will catch you driving into the city.

6:48

Yeah, on the roads. That's

6:51

why I'm going to drive through the sewers.

6:54

It's fast, it's efficient, and you

6:57

might run into a teenage ninja

6:59

turtle.

7:00

I mean, ninja turtles aren't real, Grace.

7:02

So I was hooking up with four normal teenage

7:05

turtles.

7:11

For all our sakes, I'm gonna move on. I

7:14

should point out you can't actually fit

7:17

a car in the sewers.

7:18

Okay, then how about this. The

7:21

fees only apply to cars and trucks.

7:24

So I by a Boeing seven

7:26

three seven. They're super cheap.

7:27

Right now, those

7:30

are really dangerous to fly.

7:32

I'm gonna drive it, idiot, Grace.

7:35

Wouldn't it just be easier to take the subway?

7:37

No, it's a hell hole down

7:39

there, Jordan. Have you ever heard of subway flashing?

7:43

Yes, I know it's a big problem.

7:44

Yeah, a lot of people don't even react

7:47

when you do it. Everyone's

7:52

on their phones. It's very hurtful.

7:54

Hey, Rice, just take the subway.

7:57

There's got to be a better way. I

7:59

know.

8:01

I'm gonna dig a tunnel under the camera

8:03

so I can avoid them, and then over time I'll

8:05

extend that tunnel to connect to different

8:07

areas of the city.

8:09

You're describing the subway, I'm.

8:13

Describing an underground utopia,

8:16

and I am gonna call.

8:18

It the subway.

8:18

Okay, great school and schmid everybody, We

8:22

come back, Leslie Jones, I'm been joining

8:24

us. Don't go away. Welcome

8:43

back to.

8:44

The Daily show.

8:45

You know, all

8:47

this week I've been sharing my opinions

8:50

on the news, and rightfully so they're

8:52

pretty great opinions. But studies

8:55

show that other people also have

8:58

opinions. So here with the installment

9:00

of in my opinion is our good friend Leslie

9:03

Joe.

9:11

Wyes, that's right,

9:13

your favorite Auntie is back to straighten

9:15

out.

9:16

America because

9:18

America needs me. Lawd have mercy.

9:22

The election is now less than eight

9:24

months away, and guess what, America

9:27

is on the path to doing

9:29

something really, really stupid.

9:33

The new Fox News polls finding former President

9:35

Trump leading President Biden by five points

9:37

nationally and it had to head matchup. This

9:40

is his biggest lead yet against Joe

9:42

Biden just over half of those voters,

9:44

so that they are worse off today than compared

9:47

to twenty twenty.

9:48

A new CBS News poll shows forty six

9:50

percent of registered voters remember

9:52

the Trump error presidency as excellent

9:55

or good, compared to President

9:57

Biden's thirty three percent.

9:58

If the election were held today, even Democrats

10:01

I know think that Trump

10:03

would win. What

10:09

is wrong with us?

10:17

This is like a movie

10:19

where you see the disaster coming from

10:21

a mile away and nobody is stopping at

10:25

every time I turn on the news, I'm shouting

10:27

at the screen like it's a horror

10:29

movie.

10:29

Don't go in there, America. Land

10:32

the faces in there America.

10:35

I mean, are we gonna really.

10:37

Bring back a man who tried to

10:39

overthrow the government? This

10:42

is like asking Jeffrey Epstein

10:44

to watch your kids, or

10:48

a pedophile priest to watch

10:50

your kids, or that

10:52

sixth who used to work at

10:55

Nickelodeon.

10:55

To watch your kids. Hey,

10:58

how about we do that? Don't let anybody.

11:01

Watch your cat.

11:03

And listen.

11:05

I know some people don't care about January

11:07

sixth, but let me remind you about something real

11:09

quick.

11:10

He was also a terrible

11:13

in president. Do

11:24

you really not remember?

11:26

I know we don't have the attention spans

11:28

anymore, but how can you forget

11:30

the man who wanted to nuke a

11:33

hurricane that actually happened.

11:36

And the thing that gets me the most is there

11:38

are people who are saying we're

11:40

worse off than we were in twenty twenty.

11:43

In twenty twenty, we didn't even have toilet

11:46

paper. We

11:49

was wiping our ass with family photos.

11:55

And listen, I know the pandemic wasn't

11:58

Trump's fault, but Trump made it worse every

12:00

chance he got.

12:02

Don't you people remember the kind of advice

12:04

he was giving us.

12:05

President Trump suggested without facts

12:08

that bleach injections might fight COVID.

12:11

And then I see the disinfectant where

12:13

it knocks it out in a minute, one

12:16

minute, And is there a way we can do something

12:18

like that by injection

12:22

inside work or almost

12:25

a cleaning.

12:30

He told us to inject ourselves.

12:35

We turned to him for advice and

12:37

do it was I care yourself. I

12:42

could go on and on about why it would

12:44

be a terrible idea to bring back Trump, But

12:47

you know what, I guess I shouldn't

12:49

be surprised that America is about to do something that

12:52

we know is harmful to us, because

12:54

that is what we always do. Look at how

12:56

we treat our own bodies.

12:58

We know we need to sleep eight hours hours

13:00

a night, but we stay.

13:01

Up all night scrolling onto our phone

13:03

until it falls on our damn face.

13:07

We know we should take care of our mental

13:09

health, but we.

13:10

Entertain ourselves by watching documentaries

13:14

in serial killers. We

13:18

know we should go to the doctor, but instead

13:20

we get medical advice from the internet.

13:22

Listen, listen.

13:23

I'm guilty of it too. When

13:25

I feel sick, I look up symptoms on WebMD.

13:28

I know it's irresponsible, but I can't control myself,

13:30

probably because I'm dying of scurvy.

13:38

We we

13:48

are constantly making decisions that.

13:50

We know are bad for us.

13:53

We know we should be eating healthy, but instead

13:55

we eat like shit.

13:57

Were out here eating double stuff or

14:00

and triple deck of sandwiches. We stack

14:02

our food like a fjenga. You

14:07

know what has only one layer? A goddamn

14:10

carry.

14:15

Just look at the Lynx we go. Just

14:17

look at the Lynx we go to for fast food. Look

14:20

at it.

14:20

Well.

14:20

This week we learned the answer to the age old question

14:22

how long would you wait in line? Just for an

14:24

in and out burger?

14:25

At the store's first location in Idaho,

14:28

some patrons had to wait as long as eight

14:30

hours. This week's opening featured

14:33

customers even braving cold temperatures

14:36

to camp out overnight just to be

14:38

the first in line.

14:44

You disgusting, glutting

14:46

this motherfo eight

14:49

hours.

14:50

I'm not a mathematician, but it's you're

14:52

waiting eight hours for fast food.

14:54

It ain't fast, fool.

14:56

Come.

15:04

I believe.

15:06

Some of the stuff we eat shouldn't

15:09

even be legal. In fact, in some countries

15:11

it's not legal. Their shit.

15:13

That's been bad in Europe because

15:16

it gives you cancer, and we're like.

15:17

Nah, we good.

15:21

Because we don't care enough to make good

15:23

decisions.

15:24

It's even acceptable in America

15:26

to binge drink as an adult. Listen,

15:30

it's cute at twenty one, but baby

15:32

at forty five, that's called alcoholism.

15:39

And after eating like shit, we.

15:40

Know we should be exercising, but instead

15:43

we're doing shit like this.

15:45

And next, you've always wanted six pack

15:47

ads but.

15:47

Can't seem to get to the gym.

15:49

Now there's a shortcut for that.

15:51

Researchers at the University of Miami have developed

15:53

a new plastic surgery technique called

15:56

abdominal etching. It can

15:58

reshape belly fat to make you look

16:00

like you spent a lot of time in the gym. Tools

16:03

and some foam it's a surgery, are

16:05

used as sculpt abdominal fat to

16:07

accentuate muscle lines, typically six

16:09

for men and three vertical lines

16:12

for women.

16:16

Jesus wept, what

16:20

is wrong with you people? You

16:23

can't trick people into thinking that you got

16:25

fake and that's why we got spikes.

16:30

I can't believe that this is what we got.

16:32

Our scientists working on. Forget about curing

16:35

diseases. We got to make Jordans look

16:37

like he doing sit ups.

16:39

I mean, maybe

16:50

he use a different name for that joke.

16:51

No, I think that's a good name. I think

16:53

I think it makes a joke.

16:54

Personally, Paul or a Steve or a great

16:58

I mean, there's a lot of but.

16:58

It's not just Jordan's.

17:06

We all make wrong decisions, from food

17:08

to exercise to mental health.

17:11

Last, but not least most

17:13

importantly, we know we shouldn't be dating

17:16

DJs. But

17:23

here I am swipe it right on everything

17:26

God with DJ and his bio. Now

17:30

I'm on the third hour of listening to his

17:33

new song and the beat still hasn't

17:35

dropped.

17:37

Drop the big DJ, I drive.

17:40

I gotta go get the fleet. So

17:50

here's an idea, America.

17:52

How about for at least this election,

17:55

for this one thing, Let's

17:58

not do the.

17:59

Obviously stupid thing that

18:01

we know we shouldn't do. And that

18:03

means you're gonna have to put in some

18:05

effort.

18:06

It means getting involved in the political

18:09

process.

18:10

It means not sitting on your ass

18:13

just because you're not in love with the choices.

18:16

I know you like fast food, but

18:19

this time let's eat a carrot instead

18:21

of voting for a guy who looks like a carry.

18:29

There you want?

18:30

Look about hearing Lewis. When we're going around

18:32

this, Joe, don't go along. We've

18:48

the bag of the daily shoe. My guess.

18:50

Tonight is a Grammy Award for the artist

18:52

who sold over thirty million records.

18:55

His songs inspired the new Broadway

18:57

musical The Heart of Rock and Roll. Please

18:59

welcome Huey Lewis. Wonderful.

19:21

I know that helps helps with the hearing.

19:23

How do I sound, Huey, Yeah, that helps my hearing.

19:25

Wonderful.

19:26

Thanks to Starky Hearing Institute for

19:28

that.

19:28

The Starky Hearing Institute. Yep, thank you very

19:30

much.

19:31

You know what they did exactly.

19:33

They brought together Huey Lewis

19:36

and the fake news finally together

19:39

together at once. It is an honor to have

19:41

you here in New York.

19:42

Thank I hate tell you my news is kind

19:44

of fake too.

19:45

So what don't

19:47

break my heart? Hueye you're

19:49

here. You got a big Broadway musical

19:52

opening tomorrow. The preview

19:54

start tomorrow, right and I'm sure you

19:56

thirty million records sold, twelve

20:00

ten hits. How do you start to narrow down

20:02

what makes it into the heart of rock and roll?

20:05

Which songs make it into them? Yeah, well

20:07

it's it's a It

20:11

came about because a producer called

20:13

Tyler Mitchell, who's my neighbor's friend,

20:16

was a big fan of ours. And I

20:19

was over at my neighbor's house for my birthday

20:22

and he was there, and my neighbor's

20:24

a big musical theater buff and said, you know,

20:26

suggested to his son in law

20:28

Tyler, you should do a musical. We started

20:31

talking about Mama Mia and how much we love Mama Mia,

20:33

and he says, you should do a musical with Hughey's

20:35

music. And so he said, what do you think. I

20:37

said, sure, give it a try, and he

20:40

went off with his pal John Abras came back with

20:42

a very nice idea.

20:43

Yeah, you're saying, that's all it take. If I ran

20:45

into you like a decade ago and said your

20:48

music, your music is great, it's known

20:50

worldwide, people love it. You should

20:52

do more of it publicly, like I could be working

20:54

with you right now.

20:55

Yeah, well shit,

20:59

Actually, you know it

21:01

took nine years. So and

21:04

what they did, what Tyler and John did, was

21:06

they printed out all of our lyrics right and

21:09

put them up on the wall and then just

21:11

lived with them. And I guess there's some jogging

21:14

involved and listening to lyrics,

21:16

and this story emerged that it's

21:19

rhyth relic, you know, pretty compelling.

21:20

I was going to say, now, in creating

21:23

a musical, you have to create a narrative,

21:25

but these songs are written singularly.

21:28

Do you.

21:30

How does that look to take a step back? Do you feel

21:32

like there was a sense of narrative to those songs to

21:35

begin with, or is it sort of a reinvention

21:37

of what was there?

21:38

Yeah, it's reimagining the

21:40

tunes really, and you know, they

21:43

worked in a certain way anyway, but

21:45

we had to tweak them a little bit in order to push

21:48

the story forward, because the

21:50

songs have to push the story forward, you know. But

21:53

by the same token, you don't want to

21:55

lose the integrity of the song. So that's

21:57

the little balancing act, you know.

21:59

So now the music set in the eighties, correct, It's

22:01

just.

22:01

Set in the eighties. And we had a lot of fun with that.

22:03

We had a lot of fun with that. I'm sure.

22:05

I'm sure it's so interesting because

22:08

I will I will admit the first cast

22:10

out I ever bought The Small World by Huey

22:12

Lewis and the News.

22:13

Wow.

22:13

Yes, And I used to dance around

22:16

the house to sports with my family.

22:18

You better that's a little too much information.

22:20

Sorry, Okay, my

22:22

child was conceived. Do you want more?

22:25

Do you want more? Rock and roll

22:27

is still beating. I gotta tell you it works.

22:29

You were.

22:33

Say, dumb, dumb,

22:36

dumb, dumb, dumb dump. It really sets

22:38

them food. What I

22:40

will say is, as a fan,

22:42

it was it's fun to go back and look at some of the videos

22:44

from the eighties because you look at

22:46

the music videos in the eighties and you were sort

22:48

of on the forefront of a new art form. The

22:51

music video is on MTV, and I when

22:53

I'm reapproaching watching some of them, what's so interesting

22:56

is I feel like your music video is, unlike

22:58

many of the ones at the time, had a real comedic

23:01

sensibility that you're not only presenting

23:04

the songs, you found a way to inject humor

23:06

into it. And so you're sort of at this new art

23:08

form. You're you're you're pushing this forward,

23:11

this this art and this music beyond, but you're

23:13

also finding your way sort of as a comedic

23:15

character and a comedian. Right, did you feel yourself

23:17

doing that at the time?

23:18

I think I should get some kind of an award for that.

23:24

God, well, you know you like

23:26

Fiji water Ship.

23:28

Did Joey Lewis an award? For God's sakes?

23:32

I honestly MTV of the videos

23:34

were a necessary evil.

23:35

You know.

23:36

We we started off as an audio band

23:38

and and you write this song which tells

23:40

this story, and now, oh my gosh,

23:42

you got to make a video. So and

23:45

so what we decided we were

23:47

going to do them ourselves. We had

23:50

a very Hollywood producer of the record

23:52

company, got him to do our very first video, This

23:54

is do You Believe in Love? Where we're all

23:56

in bed and we're we're pointing

23:59

at the girl. There's sex of us in bed pointing

24:01

to the girl singing, and and he did.

24:03

We shot this video all day and then

24:07

and I remember we went to see the rough cut and

24:09

oh my gosh, there was the record

24:12

company was there and the video

24:15

company and all of it. They're probably twenty people.

24:18

And he announced that this was going

24:20

to see the run through. It hadn't been colorized

24:22

yet. It's going to be amazing when it's colorized.

24:25

But here we go and he plays this video and

24:27

turns the lights off, and my heart sank.

24:29

I thought it was the worst thing I'd ever seen, just

24:32

horrible. And when it ended, everybody

24:35

stood up and gave us a standing ovation. So

24:37

I remember thinking to myself, clearly, clearly,

24:40

there's no really, nobody knows anything about

24:42

this. We're

24:44

writing our own songs, and we're producing our own

24:46

music. We should be doing our own videos. So

24:49

and that's what we did, and we we you

24:51

know, through the song in the in the dumper, as it

24:53

were. Don't retell

24:55

the story. Just goof

24:57

around and have fun and be funny.

25:00

I think, in David, you

25:05

said that a little better than I did. Actually, I

25:10

want to give you credit. I would give you a ward. I feel

25:12

like you perfected the comical

25:14

take over the fancy sunglasses.

25:18

It was one for me.

25:19

It was a big one. Right, did you practice that in

25:21

the mirror?

25:21

That Varney Varney sunglasses.

25:23

By the way, at the time, are you trying to get a sponsorship?

25:26

Here is this heuie

25:28

always always moving to Sarky Varney.

25:31

Okay, Fiji water, we get it, hewing hee.

25:35

It's not Huey Lewis blues in the plugs. All

25:37

right. Uh,

25:40

there was a wonderful documentary that came out

25:42

recently that looked at the behind the scenes of We Are

25:45

the World, and you talk

25:47

about your experiences in that amazing,

25:49

wild night of pop music. I

25:52

think it was so fascinating about watching that documentary

25:55

is when I was I was

25:58

wondering, on a night like that, are

26:00

people aware of the cameras there? There's no cell

26:02

phones, people don't have assistance in that room.

26:05

And then I was shocked by how sober

26:08

everybody was, except for Algio

26:10

Algiou. But

26:13

it's surprising. I don't know if you could do something like that day.

26:15

Were people as sober as well?

26:18

I mean, you know there was check your ego at

26:20

the door. Well, clearly nobody's

26:22

going to pull an ego trip on this group, right, And

26:25

so I think we all were a little nervous

26:28

except Stevie Wonder, who was not nervous.

26:30

No, no, not at all.

26:32

And I don't think Stevie's ever nervous, to be

26:34

honest.

26:35

And so was there again

26:38

something like that had never happened before. I think with

26:40

the presence of cameras there, did that add

26:42

attention in that room?

26:44

Well? Actually, there weren't that many cameras, and

26:46

we were so focused on the I

26:48

think it was pretty pretty transparent,

26:51

actually. I mean what was interesting is that I think

26:53

we all realized, I certainly did, that

26:55

this was going to be the career event

26:58

of my life. You know, I was I

27:00

was barely thirty years old, and I'm thinking, what

27:04

could be more amazing than this? And

27:06

I think a lot of us kind of felt that way. There's

27:09

still a kind of a bond between all the

27:11

people who were on that night, and it

27:13

was it was just an amazing evening.

27:15

Obviously, there's a moment in there where Stevie Wonder

27:18

throws out the idea of singing in Swahili, which

27:20

seemed to really split the room. Yeah, Waylon

27:23

Jennings, I believe walked out.

27:25

Yeah, and actually what happened, and

27:27

I don't think it's in the documentary, but yeah,

27:30

whalee walked out. But and it

27:32

clearly wasn't going to happen. And as

27:34

we were kind of getting involved there and it was late,

27:36

it was like three or four in the morning at this point, and

27:39

Ray Charles is in the front row and he goes ring

27:41

the bell. Quincy rang the bell.

27:45

It's time to move on, Like let's go. Yeah,

27:48

somebody brought a fact up there were like you're nineteen

27:51

eighty four Sports was number one album. They

27:53

were only it was on the charts for quite some time.

27:56

In fact, that year there are only four other albums

27:58

that were the number one album that year that was.

28:00

Thanks for pointing that out.

28:02

Yeah, I want to humble you

28:04

here a little bit. Okay, see if you can turn this

28:06

in a way to get some sponsorship. Okay. Thriller

28:10

was a number one album Footloose Born

28:12

in the USA and Purple Rain. That's

28:15

a good year for music. It

28:17

was a good year if you had to marry or

28:20

kill Footloose

28:29

Born in the USA, Purple

28:32

Rain, or Thriller?

28:34

What do you do if you have to do?

28:36

What now?

28:38

What do I have to do?

28:39

Think back to the harder rock and roll of what happened

28:41

back in my bedroom back in the day. You have to you

28:44

have to walk one of these albums, So

28:47

make love to the album one

28:49

of those, the hypothetical, the metaphorical

28:52

idea of the album. Okay, make

28:55

love to the album. You have to marry the

28:58

album, like engage in matrimony with

29:00

the album, a real commitment with the

29:02

album okay, or kill be done

29:04

with one of the albums.

29:05

Okay.

29:06

Out of those four albums, you have to make

29:08

love to one, you have to commit yourself

29:10

Mary to the other, and you

29:12

have to execute one.

29:14

Wow. Wow,

29:17

that that's tough.

29:18

Tough.

29:19

I'm gonna I'm gonna execute Footloose because

29:21

Kenny Loggins won't mind. He's a good guy.

29:23

Okay, I'm

29:27

gonnabody.

29:29

Uh, I'm gonna.

29:31

I'm gonna make love to Born in the USA,

29:34

and I'm gonna fall in love with Thriller.

29:36

Yeah, you're gonna fall in love with Thriller.

29:38

I actually I actually will.

29:41

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I

29:48

actually like.

29:49

I like Off the Walls Out Michael's

29:51

album a little better actually than Thriller even

29:54

really, if I don't mind me saying that, you.

29:55

Like a little bit of that disco dance vibe to it all?

29:57

Oh yeah, rock with you? Listen

30:00

to that overnamed I.

30:01

Think dangerous, dangerous, an underrated album.

30:03

There you go, look at this.

30:05

We can do this forever. I could pitch you on a musical,

30:07

like, hey, why don't you use your own songs

30:10

as a great hits? We can make

30:12

some money off this. Yeway before

30:14

I let you go. It's so

30:17

interesting. You are a beloved musician.

30:19

It's so funny. I was talking to you a little bit backstage

30:23

when I told the folks, or when we were told that

30:25

Huey Lewis was coming on the Daily Show. People

30:27

of all ages who work on this show,

30:29

they love you, and they're so excited that you hear you bring

30:31

such goodwill to people. And I

30:35

heard the story that back to the Future,

30:37

Robert Zemeckis told you that Marty McFly

30:40

his favorite the fictional character Marty

30:42

McFly, his favorite band would be Huey Lewis in the News.

30:45

Then in American Psycho Patrick

30:47

Bateman's favorite

30:51

band to kill Jared leto Jo is

30:54

Huey Lewis in the News. And so in

30:56

a fictional universe, you appeal both

30:58

to a person who is a time traveler and a

31:00

person who is a psycho killer. You are

31:03

You are that universe.

31:05

And you know what that's that's that that is fresh

31:07

material for a musical.

31:14

Three Here for the Hunger rock and roll again

31:18
