-I did not go
outside to see the eclipse. If you, like me,
live in fear of the moon, thanks to Mac Tonight,
you're not that interested in the day it blocks
out the sun. [ Laughter ] I.e. its plan comes to fruition. Hey, Seth, you want to go
outside and see the moon win? Got to wear special glasses
or you'll go blind. No. Thank you. Davin --
David, excuse me. David Eigenberg played Steve
on "Sex and the City." He was also in the Dick Wolf
show "Chicago Fire." Interesting showbiz story. He was originally cast as a police officer
on "Chicago PD," but he made a terrible cop
because everyone he arrested was set free. Because he refused to read
them their Miranda rights. [ Laughter ] [As Steve ]
I just can't do it, chief. [ Laughter ] [ Hissing sound ] [ Laughter ] [ Normal voice ]
Was that releasing the nitrous? [ Laughter ] We made a joke implying
the comic book that contained
the first appearance of Aquaman would not be valuable. I was told Aquaman's
first appearance was in More Fun Comics
number 73, and in mint condition,
it could sell at upwards $185,000. And if you sold it
for that much, I'd get out there
and brag about it. And if you bought it
for that much. Shh. [ Laughter ] Oh, we're going to try to pick
our Emmy submission episode. We kind of have a consensus
on the top four. So go to @seacaptainpolls. We're going to do 96 versus 89 and 94 versus 82 based on the winners of that,
we'll then have a final. And then
after you pick a winner, I'll still wait two more weeks before I tell Shoemaker
my decision. [ Laughter ] I said on-deve salad. We're told it was endive. For the record,
I thought it was endive too. But when I said
that in front of Baz, he slapped the salad fork
out of my hand. [ Laughter ] We referred to the increase
in Donald Trump's wealth thanks to his Truth Social
stock is paper money. That was incorrect. We should have said
paper wealth. Paper wealth is money
that's not actually real, whereas paper money is
of course real money. Though I wouldn't recommend
trying to pay a New York cabbie
with it. Certainly changed their tune
since 2007. 2007 you try to give them
a credit card. It was like, "Ugh!" Now you try to give them
cold-hard cash, same thing. Make up your minds, guys. In play Jean Valjean
had been imprisoned 19 years for stealing a loaf of bread. He was sentenced to five years
for the bread, and then three extra years
for each of his successive, four escape attempts. Apologies to the French
legal system for making it seem like they give you 19 years
for bread theft. Five is okay. [ Laughter ] I think five is fair.
You make it any less than five
people are just -- you're inviting them
to steal your bread. [ Laughter ] You could also sentence them
to a something that feels
like less than five years. You know, if like your
prison system is overwhelmed, you don't have room
for somebody like. Making him sit through
"Les Mis." [ Laughter ] Singing:
Who am I? How do you not know?
I know. [ Laughter ] YouTube captions our videos. We don't caption them
YouTube captions them. I appreciate it. It really means a lot to me that they go out of their way
to make it easier for everyone to enjoy. With that said,
could we not do this ever again? [ Laughter ] Someone wrote, "Is your crew
forced to come to Corrections?" They then asked,
"Are they forced to drink?" They are not forced to come. But if they come,
they're forced to drink. [ Laughter ] I made the sound
of someone driving a tractor. I was told that's
not the sound a tractor makes. But you posited that
I've never been on a tractor. [ Laughter ] What? You think I would trust
someone else to get my wheat? [ Laughter ] I did a George W. Bush
impression. And then afterwards
I said I had a C-minus bush. You should all be ashamed
of yourselves. [ Laughter ] The amount of people
that thought I was referring to my pubic hair. [ Laughter ] And by the way,
the fact that I just done a Bush impression
and nobody connected, saying I had a C-minus bush to
that means it's an F-minus bush. C-minus bush. I mean, in your heads, what does
a C-minus bush even look like? I mean, something like this. You monsters! [ Laughter ] I mean, I was never
going to go down to graphics with that request. Give me a few options
for C minus Bush. That'd be their dream. [ Laughter ] I mean, they emailed him to me
by the time I got back to my desk. How's this? And they didn't look
like graphics. It looked like hastily taken
photos. [ Laughter ] Wanna guess which one of us
made this one? [ Laughter ] Someone wrote, it's pronounced Portia de Rossi, not Portia de Ross. It sounds
like you missed the jokey. [ Thunder clapping ] A lot of weird stuff's
been happening... Since the eclipse. Oh. Sure, you're like,
"It's not connected." Whatever. Hey. We've been making a lot
of jokes about Boeing doors. You know, we're making
a lot of jokes about Boeing because those doors
are flying off and -- And then I said,
Boeing plane. And then when you said you
don't have to say Boeing plane because they only make planes. And then a bunch of you said, actually you should say
Boeing plane because Boeing makes
a lot of their stuff. And then I made the joke,
um, that, um... They also made
"Lord of the Rings" films because those are so bowing. And then Lederman yelled,
"Jesus!" Because I guess that joke
was so bad he converted. [ Laughter ] With that said, the reason
I went through it again is that was all set up to one
of my favorite Jackal jokes
ever submitted. Boeing can't make
"Lord of the Rings" because they don't
have Mordor. [ Laughter ] Not a bad correction joke. Uh, went back. Last week in Seth's version
to the old of how to pronounce. Barbar.
Buh bar? The problem is,
everybody said there's no real right way,
right? Because it's regional. Like you can say Barbar
you can say Buhbar and Boston
say Bahbah. And in Chicago they say
Baa bear! [ Laughter ] Um, we talked about
a cliffhanger, and this was, uh,
the cliff we used, I was told, is, um, not a cliff at all. It's McAfee's Knob. And that's an actual photo
of it. Uh, McAfee's Knob is
on the Appalachian Trail. It's one of the
most popular places to stop
on the Appalachian Trail. And, uh, you look right over
there. You could say this is
a knob with a C-minus bush. [ Laughter ] Also McAfee's Knob only
rock formation in America that can protect
your computer from viruses. [ Laughter ] Want to do a new tag
for the end of "A Closer Look." Hey everyone, if you enjoyed "A Closer Look,"
that's enough for me. I don't need you to do
anything else. I made it, you watched it. I don't need you to, like,
subscribe or do anything else. But live your life. Whatever it is you've
been dreaming of doing now is when I want you to do it. I'm gonna stick around
because I got nowhere else to be. Go. Go do whatever it is
you've always -- I mean, don't just [bleep] watch
like, Kimmel videos. [ Laughter ] Great. Go to a Knicks game. Bring my son Ash to his first.
Excuse me, Rangers game. Bring my son Ash to his
first organized sporting event. Right?
And, uh... They asked, they say, hey, can
we cut to you during the game? I'm like, yeah, sure,
that'd be great, right? So before they cut to you,
they show a clip from the show. And you know what they show? They don't show
a monologue joke. They showed a joke
from Surprise Inspection. [ Laughter ] But they didn't set up Surprise Inspection. So instead, they just show
everybody at the Rangers game me telling Brian Donaldson's
[bleep] Scallions joke. [ Laughter ] When it cuts to me,
literally, people boo. [ Laughter ] My son, literally --
It cuts to me and my son. My son leans out of the shot. [ Laughter ] Mhm. Mhm. Somebody wrote, "I feel bad Seth invented Bird Bane, and they're going to make
Halloween costumes. And he's not going to make any
of the money." And a Jackal wrote in, "He doesn't do it
for the bucks." He does it for Buck's laugh. [ Laughter ] And there you have it. Singularity. [ Laughter ] You wrote an inside joke
about a person you never met. [ Laughter ] You never met Buck,
and you never have to. [ Laughter ] You watched Corrections
and you made a joke about Buck,
and it worked. [ Laughter ] And in the end,
wasn't that the goal? [ Laughter ] [ Thunderclaps ] [ Rain pattering ] You don't usually hear
the rain inside. [ Rain pattering ] [ Laughter ] That's 100. Kind of can't believe we did it. But we did it. A thing that nobody
would have said was a good idea. [ Rain pattering ] And maybe they were
all right in the end. [ Rain pattering ] Let me just say... I have no regrets about my time
with the Jackals. [ Thunderclaps ] [ Laughter ] We went through this together. We learned a lot. I grew. You didn't. I don't know if any of us
are better people, but we made something together. Couldn't have made it
without you. And I just want to say
that together nothing will ever hurt us. [ Thunderclaps ] [Rain pattering] Doug Jones. [ Thunderclaps ] [ Foreboding music plays ] ♪♪
