âWhat is the most typical
âbrown dad thingâ you have ever done slash could see yourself doing?â
This is from Lekha â is Lekha here? I feel likeâ I feel like Iâm, like,
the teacher, Iâm like, âIs Lekha..?â The most... What is âthe
most brown dad,â um... When I was a kid, I remember â I donât know if this
happened to you guys â did your parents not let
you watch The Simpsons? It was so crazy that myâ Was it the same reason
why my parents didnâtâ It was because the
kids talk back to theâ How is it likeâ Was there a group email? Every person Iâve talked
to about it Iâm like, âYour parents didnât let
you watch The Simpsons because the kids talk back to the parents?â
and theyâre like, âYeah, of course.â Yeah, they thought because, like, Bart talked back to the parents, theyâre like, âThis is nuts. You canât...
you canât watch this.â And so that wasâ I think Iâm gonna hold the
line with that. No Simpsons. No cable television.
It wonât even matter. Did your parents let
you go to sleepovers? That was also a big thing. Why? Really? Could you go to sleepovers? I mean. Yeah, see. Thatâs, thatâs theâ Thatâs
our community in a nutshell. You have, like, earrings,
youâre tatted, youâre like, âI went to sleepovers all the time.â And youâre like, âI couldnât
go to a matinee movie.â Are you guys related? I know, thatâs what Iâm saying. Yeah. Yeah. I, exactly.
That was the joke. Jesus, man. Ay yai yai, bro. Alright, âBeing a first
gen Muslim here is hard, but what makes it worse is how
judgmental our own people are about anything out of the norm. How do you deal
with the Haram police?â Thatâs great. Dude, I just live and let live. Like, thatâs my thing, like,
just, like, do your thing. Do your thing. I remember, like, one of my
favorite moments is last year at, like, Eid prayer, um, there was this, like, thereâs this white lady
who came into the mosque and she straight up
had short shorts, and she just walked rightâ I know, your face is everything. And I like, like, during
the sermon and everything she just, like, walked right in, like, no head cover just,
like, straight up just, like, ready to play volleyball, likeâ And, like, nobody said
anything. I was like, âThis is a huge historic
moment for the community.â I really loved it.
I was really proud ofâ There was no uncles being
like, âAhhh how is this hapâ?â Nobody was, like⌠yeah. So thatâs my policy, live
and let live, do your thing. Do your thing. âWhatâs something youâve
learned since last year?â You know what? One of the coolest
things Iâve learned from this show is, um, a lot of the topics that we cover, you know, a lot of the different
trends that you see in the world, um... The world is a lot
smaller than you think. Like, the trends and
forces that we see, um, happening in other
countries are happening here as well and
weâre not immune to that. Thatâs been one of the most
interesting things to see. So, to see the rise of
authoritarianism around the worldâ To see, you know, developed countries even
backslide into that sort of insanely hateful rhetoric. And sorta almost see it
like a weather pattern, um, has been really interesting
to see, so thatâs been really cool. I remember when I first, um, started working at The Daily Show, one
of the challenges that we had was, âHey, how do you connect this to America?
You have to make it about America.â And now, I think itâs been really cool to see the show have more of
a global conversation. So we start with a Malaysia
or we start with an India and then everybody else
around the world kinda has to come to that as the, sort of,
centerpoint of the conversation, which I thought was really cool. Um... Yeah. I mean itâs also
depressing because, like, you know, corruption
has no borders, so... âWhat is one government
secret you would want to F.O.I.A. â Freedom
of Information Act?â Damn. Who submitted this?
Thereâs no name on this, which is, like, super weird. Thereâs no name, seriously. Itâs just likeâ UFOs? You donâtâ Do an episode on UFOs? You want me to full on go Alex Jones? You believe in it? Look at the details? Youâre like, âCheck all the websites.â âUFOsarereal.com, check that one out.â No no no, but for realâ The military. Yes. No, Iâm not gonna
turn on you, I believe it. Yeah, for sure. The New York Times did a thing on â â did a thing on UFOs? Is that true? No, donât pull out your phone,
youâre not supposed to do that. Recently? All the time?! That is not all the time. No way, itâs not all the time. Is that real? Hang on, hang on. Because the way youâre
saying it is super real. Say what? In The New York Times? And what was the take?
Like what was the... Oh, my god. What did it say?
Does anyone know? What do you think? Yeah. Why are you saying it like,
âWhy would anyone everâ?â Oh, you think theyâre
just making it up? No I think itâs real,
I think itâs real Iâm with him. I think itâs real. Why wouldnât theyâ My thing is though, I donât
think theyâve come here yet, but thereâs definitely aliens. Theyâre here?? Come on, dude. Where are they? What do you
think, like, where are they? What do you thinkâ Is he,
how are you guys related? What do you think when he
starts doing this in public? Like, come on. Alright, so whatâs the move, dude?
Like, so, theyâre here, and then what? Wait, what? Dude, I think youâve been smoking
janjaweed. What is going on, dude? Theyâre just, theyâre just waiting
for us to die is what youâre saying? What a long play. Huh? The aliens? Next question. Alright. âWho is your favorite
member of BTS?â Itâs from Marshall. Marshall? I would say J-Hope. Yeah, for the dance moves? Who else, I donât
know the other names. Theyâre like, theyâre like, theyâre like Korean Wu-Tang
Clan, thereâs a lot of them. Seven? Thatâs a lot. Whoâs their like, whoâ Is
J-Hope the most popular? Oh, in different countries? But theyâre all from
South Korea, right? Thatâs cool. So theyâre like, âWe have this one
for the Latin American market. We have this one for the U.K.â Um, how many peopleâ
Do you guysâ Just by a round of applause,
who here knows BTS? That, to me, is crazy. Thatâs,
like, so wild to me that a South Korean boy
band is, like, the â one of the biggest musical
acts in the world. Which, to me, is another, like, cool moment
that weâre having in popular culture because for the longest time, weâve always had to export our
soft power to other countries. And now, that stuff is coming
into America, so I think thatâs cool. âIf you had to form
the ultimate boy groupââ âWhat? Alright. Alright, âIf you had to form the
ultimate boy group, who would be in it?â Um... J-Hope? Alright, so we
got J-Hope for dancing. Iâd goâ You said Drake? Drake, I would do... I would do Harry
Styles for voice. Do J-Hope for dance. You gotta have,
uh, you gotta have, you gotta have Hrithik
Roshan for the sixth finger. Just for just, like, finger ratio. Uhhh... Whoa. Damn. What ifâ The way you respondedâ What if Patriot Act was
hosted by Shawn Mendes? You would lose your mind. Heâd be like, âTonight I
wanna talk about Sudan,â youâd be like, âShawn? Shawnâsââ I would do Chris Kirkpatrick because you just need a
white dude with dreads. You always gotta have a white
dude with cornrows just to, just to mix it up.
Just to offend people. Um, and just have
Beethoven on the piano. Round out the group. âWhatâs your desert island
album?â This is from Maddy. Whatâs youâ Whatâs
your desert island album? Damn, you knew it,
like, just like that? Thatâs true. Is that a â is that a
double disk album? Just a...how many
tracks are on it? Thatâs a good amount. I donât know. I would
need a double disk album. Youâre on the island. Yeah. Hmm. Now 67? No. Now
Thatâs What I Call Music. But if youâre like, âBut
just 67. It canât be 66. It definitely canât be Now 58.â I donât know. But I do think about
going to the island a lot. Like, whenever I, like, read
the news and Iâm just like, âI need to get my money
right and get to the island.â Because, like, global warming â all the crazy shit thatâs
happening in the world Iâm like, âWeâve just gottaâ I gotta leave.â I donât know where Iâm gonna go, but
we always proverbially call it the island. Alright, âThis show has said a lot
about how our species has fucked up. What things do we as
humans do (or have done), which melt your heart
and make you happy?â This is from Ishaan. Hey, what makes your heart melt? You know, you knowâ The thing
that I, like, what gives me hope? And makes me believe
that, you know, the aliens are
looking out for us... Okay, alright.
Alright, alright, alright. Alright, I get it, man. I get it. Youâre like that one friend you
canât bring to a bar, you know? Alright, so. Thereâs that, um, have you seen that
video of the, um, the Spider-Man piĂąata kid? Thereâs that little, thereâs,
like, the little piĂąata kid. So thereâs, like, the kidâ
Yeah, you know! Like, and they have the Spider-Man
piĂąata and they give this little kid a bat and theyâre like,
âGo hit Spider-Man.â Everyoneâs like, âFuck him up!â And then he puts the bat
down and he hugs Spider-Man. I know! Iâm like, âAw, humanity.â The aliens really do care about us.
The aliens guy segment was probably the funniest unscripted thing I've ever seen, and it just kept going đđ
Aliens question starts at 3:51
"You're like the friend you can't bring to a bar"
That line had me rolling
He's really finding his stride. The cricket episode felt like Jon Stewart was on the air again.
This guy just seems like a comedian impersonator. Something off about him. Maybe because he needs a script to be funny. His appearance on bumping mics was so cringy.
