>> Tucker: AND WE TOLD YOU A FEW MINUTES AGO THAT THE MOST ROBUST SECTOR OF OUR ECONOMY, THE ENERGY SECTOR, HAS BEEN WITHERING THANKS TO THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION, BUT THAT IS NOT THE ONLY PART OF OUR ECONOMY THAT IS IN TROUBLE. FOR GENERATIONS, AMERICA PRODUCED THE MOST AND THE BEST COMEDIANS IN THE WORLD. THIS WAS THE FUNNIEST COUNTRY ON EARTH BECAUSE IT WAS A FREE COUNTRY. COMEDY REQUIRES ABOVE ALL INDEPENDENCE AND HONESTY. YOU CAN TO BE READING TALKING POINTS FROM ANYBODY. YOU HAVE TO BE TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT THEM, THAT IS THE WHOLE POINT. AND THE SECOND YOU START SUCKING UP, YOU ONLY HUMILIATE YOURSELF. LATELY ON TELEVISION THEY'VE BEEN SUCKING UP TO PEOPLE IN POWER FOR YEARS NOW. THEY HAVEN'T RESIGNED THEIR JOBS BECAUSE THEY PAY WELL BUT THEY DO CONTINUE TO HUMILIATE THEMSELVES. IF YOU'VE TURNED IN AT ANY POINT OVER THE LAST YEAR, YOU SAW THINGS LIKE THIS. SPEAK OF THE CUOMO BROTHERS, YOU AND CHRIS, TIDE IS THE MOST DESIRABLE MEN IN NEW YORK. AS AN OLDER BROTHER, CAN YOU ABIDE BY A TIE? DO YOU WANT TO DO ANYTHING RIGHT NOW TO PUSH YOURSELF OVER THE TOP IN TERMS OF DESIRABLE NETS? A SMOLDERING STARE, ANYTHING? >> I HAVE A FRIEND COME I WON'T SAY HER NAME, SHE WANTS TO KNOW WHAT PHASE OF DATING ARE YOU CURRENTLY IN? ZERO? >> I AM PHASE ZERO ON DATING. THERE IS NO DURATION ON PHASE ZERO. THERE IS NO AUTOMATIC TIME BUT TO GO TO PHASE ONE, YOU COULD STAY IN PHASE ZERO FOR MONTHS. I THINK NEW YORK CITY WILL BE FULLY REOPENED BEFORE I GIVE OUT, BEFORE I GIVE OUT -- >> Tucker: SO AWFUL TO WATCH, THE FAKE, OVEREAGER LAUGHTER. THE STUPID LINES, THE ENDLESS SUCKING UP AND THE SADDEST PART IS SOME OF THESE GUYS, THE PEOPLE YOU JUST SAW USE TO BE LEGITIMATELY TALENTED. THEY WERE FUNNY. BUT THEY GIVE IT UP IN ORDER TO READ THE SCRIPT. SAD AS HELL TO WATCH. LAST NIGHT, THE NEW VERSION OF THE SCRIPT TOLD THEM YOU BETTER CHANGE YOUR OPINIONS ON ANDREW CUOMO. NO MORE SUCKING UP. SO, DUTIFULLY, THEY DID. >> IT WAS A BIG DAY IN NEW YORK HAS ANDREW CUOMO ANNOUNCED THAT HE IS RESIGNING AS GOVERNOR. DURING HIS REMARKS HE SAID IT WAS BEST THAT HE STEP ASIDE AND THEN EVERY WOMAN IN THE ROOM TOOK TWO STEPS ASIDE. [LAUGHTER] AFTER HIS ANNOUNCEMENT, CUOMO SAID HE IS STEPPING DOWN IN 14 DAYS. I'M SORRY, IS THIS REALLY A TWO WEEK NOTICE TYPE OF SITUATION? BEAUTIFUL DAY IN NEW YORK CITY, 85 DEGREES, 75% HUMIDITY, AND THIS AFTERNOON, ANDREW CUOMO RESIGNED. [APPLAUSE] DON'T LET THE DOOR HIT YOU ON THE BUTT ON THE WAY OUT, BUT IF IT DOES, THAT DOOR SHOULD ALSO RESIGN. [LAUGHTER] >> Tucker: DO YOU THINK HE COMES HOME AND HIS WIFE SAYS "GOOD JOB, YOU'RE REALLY FUNNY!" NO SELF-RESPECT AT ALL. MARK STEYN HAS SELF-RESPECT AND CLARITY AND HONESTY AND ABOVE ALL, PERSPECTIVE ON THE WORLD SO HE IS HILARIOUS BY DEFINITION. HE JOINS US NOW TO ASSESS WHAT HAPPENED TO EVERYBODY ELSE. MARK STEYN, GREAT TO SEE YOU. HOW SAD DID THAT MAKE YOU WATCHING THAT QUESTIONING SOME OF THOSE GUYS WERE LEGITIMATELY TALENTED AT ONE POINT. >> AT ONE POINT BUT HAVE GOT TO SAY AFTER THOSE LAST CLIPS YOU PLAYED OF COLBERT AND FALLON, SAY WHAT YOU LIKE BUT THAT CUOMO-SEXUAL CONVERSION THERAPY REALLY WORKS FAST. THEY TURNED IT AROUND, THEY WERE FULL ON CUOMO-SEXUALS AND NOW THEY ARE DOING CRACK ATTACK MATERIAL, WHAT WAS THAT LINE THAT HIS WRITERS WRITE FOR HIM? CUOMO SAID HE WAS GOING TO STEP ASIDE AND THEN ALL THE WOMEN TOOK TWO STEPS ASIDE. IT'S AMAZING TO ME THEY HAVE LIKE, 37 WRITERS ON THE WRITING STAFF AND THEY MET FOR HOURS AND THEY TESTED THOSE LINES AND THAT'S THE BEST THEY CAN COME UP WITH? YOU HAD TO SEE THE PROBLEM FROM FALLON AND COLBERT 'HIS POINT OF VIEW. THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING GENUINELY FUNNY ABOUT THE GUY BEING A BLOODSOAKED BUTCHER, THEY CAN'T DO ANY COMEDY ON THAT, THEY CAN'T DO ANY COMEDY ABOUT HOW PITIFUL IT IS THAT THEY ARE ALL GOING ON ABOUT HOW SEXUALLY THEY HAVE THE HOTS FOR HIM AND THE CUOMO-SEXUAL COFFEE MUGS WHERE HE IS BARE CHESTED AND THEY HAVE FALLEN FOR AN OBVIOUS RACKET BECAUSE THE LAST THREE GOVERNORS OF NEW YORK, ALL DEMOCRATS, HAVE NOW ALL RESIGNED IN ONE SEXUAL SCANDAL AFTER ANOTHER. YOU COULD DO SOME JOKES ABOUT HOW SPITZER NEEDED A ROOM AT THE MAYFLOWER IN WASHINGTON, D.C., AND THAT IS LIKE, 1,000 BUCKS A NIGHT, AND THEN DAVID PATTERSON MADE DO WITH THE DAYS INN ON 94TH STREET IN MANHATTAN AND THAT IS ONLY $130 A NIGHT AND THIS GUY SAVES YOU THE HOTEL BILL ALTOGETHER BECAUSE HE JUSTE OFFICE, BUT THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING. EVEN WITH THE 37 MAN WRITING TEAM. AND I FEEL MOST SORRY FOR MY DEAR COMMONWEALTH COUSIN, TREVOR NOAH FROM SOUTH AFRICA WHO I ONCE SAW AT THE LONDON PALLADIUM, AND HE WAS MARGINALLY LESS UNFUNNY, AND WHAT'S INTERESTING IS THAT 10 MINUTES AFTER LANDING AT JFK TO GET HIS BIG JOB ON THE COMEDY CHANNEL, THIS GUY WHO'S GOT ALL KINDS OF INTERESTING PERSPECTIVES, SOUTH AFRICA VIA LONDON AND ALL THE REST OF IT, HE IS SUDDENLY AS INTERESTING BORING AS ALL THE REST OF THEM. IT'S THE DEATH OF COMEDY. IT'S NO LAUGHING MATTER. >> Tucker: IT'S TOTALLY SOVIET. THEY WEREN'T VERY FUNNY, EITHER. MARK STEYN, GREAT TO S
"comedians"
They have been telling the same 'joke' for 5 years.
