COULD BE LIVABLE AS SOON ASKED
2030, IN EIGHT YEARS.
GUYS, HOW ABOUT THAT?
>> Steve: I’M GOING TO WAIT.
[LAUGHTER]
THANK YOU.
MEANWHILE, COMEDIAN JEFF DUNHAM
IS RETURNING THIS WEEK WITH HIS
11TH STAND UP SPECIAL, FEATURING
ALL OF YOUR FAN FAVORITES.
AND HIS, TOO.
>> WELCOME TO THE PART OF THE
SHOW WHERE YOU GET TO HEAR WHAT
I THINK ABOUT STUFF AFTER I’VE
HAD A FEW, WHICH IS, LIKE, ALL
THE TIME.
[LAUGHTER]
SOMETIMES I GET SO DRUNK THAT I
CAN’T REMEMBER HOW TO SET MY
ALARM CLOCK, SO I JUST TURN ON
MY MICROWAVE FOR EIGHT HOURS.
[LAUGHTER]
>> Brian: HERE WITH MORE ON
HIS SPECIAL, "NEITHER PEOPLE,"
JEFF DUNHAM ALONG WITH FAN
FAVORITE, PEANUT.
>> THANKS FOR HAVING US.
IT’S GOOD TO BE HERE ON FOX!
>> Steve: WHERE DOES "PEANUT"
COME FROM?
YOU DON’T LOOK LIKE A PEANUT.
>> WE DON’T KNOW WHAT I AM AND
WE DON’T CARE, IT’S FINE.
>> Brian: HOW DOES THIS
COMPARE TO YOUR OTHER TEN
SPECIALS?
>> WHENEVER SCHWARZENEGGER CAME
UP WITH A NEW MOVIE HE WOULD
SAY, "IT’S THE BEST ONE EVER!"
MY 11TH ONE HAS TO BE THE TOP
TWO OR THREE, AND I DON’T KNOW
WHY.
MAYBE IT’S BECAUSE WE HAD TWO
AND HALF YEARS TO GET READY FOR
THIS ONE.
>> BECAUSE HE SAID AROUND AT
HOME DOING NOTHING.
>> AND WE ARE HERE AGAIN.
I DON’T KNOW WHAT IT IS, BUT
THIS TURNED OUT GREAT.
WE SHOT IN WASHINGTON, D.C.
HE ALMOST SHOWED UP, BECAUSE YOU
WERE GOING TO DO SOME BACKSTAGE
STUFF.
>> BUT THEN YOU DIDN’T.
>> Brian: WHAT HAS CHANGED
ABOUT COMEDY?
>> IT’S TOUGH BEING A COMEDIAN
RIGHT NOW, NOT JUST A COMEDIAN,
ANYBODY IN SHOW BUSINESS.
YOU SAY ONE THING, YOU ARE DONE,
YOU ARE CANCELED, WHATEVER THAT
IS.
I THINK THE PROBLEM IS COMEDIANS
ARE PICKING SIDES.
I DON’T KNOW WHY THEY HAVE TO DO
THAT.
THEY PICK ONE SIDE AND TRASH THE
OTHER SIDE, THEY CALL EVERYBODY,
BOTH SIDE DOES IT, THEN YOU’RE
ELIMINATING HALF THE AUDIENCE OR
THE PEOPLE WHO COULD BE YOUR
AUDIENCE.
I DON’T DO THAT.
I GO BACK TO THE DAYS OF WILL
ROGERS, BOB HOPE, CARSON,
JAY LENO.
YOU NEVER KNEW WHAT THE POLITICS
WERE PAID TO PICK ON BOTH SIDES
JUST A LITTLE BIT.
DON’T BE NASTY AND NAME-CALLING.
>> THAT’S NO FUN.
>> Ainsley: WHAT INSPIRED THE
SPECIAL AND WHAT CAN WE EXPECT?
>> ALL THE CHARACTERS ARE IN IT,
AND WALTER, MY OLDER
CURMUDGEONLY GUY --
>> YEAH, HE LOOKS A LITTLE BIT
LIKE BIDEN.
>> WHEN TRUMP WAS IN OFFICE WE
HAD FUN WITH THAT.
NOW HOW CAN YOU NOT MAKE FUN OF
WHAT’S GOING ON NOW?
WALTER DRESSES UP LIKE BIDEN AND
HE’S IN THE SHOW.
>> Steve: YOU ALSO HAVE A NEW
CHARACTER?
EARL?
WE WILL INTRODUCE THE FOLKS
RIGHT NOW, FROM "ME THE PEOPLE."
>> HI, EARL.
>> HEY, DUDE.
>> WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
>> PLAYING TEXTING.
>> WE HAVE AN AUDIENCE.
>> YEAH, A LOT OF THEM ARE
TEXTING, TOO PAY [LAUGHTER]
>> Steve: WHY ARE YOU THE ONLY
ONE WITH A MICROPHONE?
>> DON’T KILL THE MAGIC!
>> IT’S FUNNY, I DO RADIO.
IN THE DAYS OF COMEDY CLUBS, I
WOULD SIT DOWN WITH THE MORNING
GUYS AND INEVITABLY THE ENGINEER
WOULD BE PUTTING A MICROPHONE IN
FRONT OF THE DUMMY.
EARL IS ACTUALLY TEXTING ON HIS
PHONE THE ENTIRE TIME.
AND I CREATE CHARACTERS THAT
RESPOND TO WHAT’S GOING ON IN
THE WORLD AND EVERYBODY CAN
IDENTIFY WITH.
THEY ARE ALL STUCK ON THEIR
DEVICES TO MUCH, KIDS DEALING
WITH PARENTS, PARENTS DEALING
WITH KIDS.
>> Steve: WHEN YOU LOOK IN THE
AUDIENCE, ARE THEY DOING THAT
SOMETIMES?
>> THAT’S ONE OF THE JOKES, EARL
IS TEXTING AND SAYS A LOT OF THE
AUDIENCE ARE TEXTING, TOO.
IT’S RESPONDING TO WHAT’S GOING
ON.
>> Ainsley: YOU HAD HAD SO
MUCH SUCCESS OF YOUR TALENTS.
I KNOW YOU STARTED THE SUCCESS
IN THIRD GRADE.
WHAT IS IT LIKE WHEN YOU’RE OUT
AND ABOUT AND HE DON’T HAVE YOUR
CHARACTERS WITH YOU?
OR DO YOU TAKE THEM WITH YOU?
DO TAKE THEM ON DATES OR IS IT
PART OF YOUR IDENTITY?
>> I SAY THIS ALL THE TIME, NO
WOMAN HAS EVER SAID, THE PICOULT
VENTRILOQUIST, THAT’S HOT."
NONE OF THEM COME ON THE DATES,
BUT IT’S IN PART OF MY LIFE
FOREVER, SO IT’S GOT TO ME A LOT
OF PLACES.
>> AND KEPT HIM OUT OF A LOT OF
PLACES, AS WELL.
AND KICKED OUT. >> Steve: AND YOU ARE GOING TO
>> Steve: AND YOU ARE GOING TO
A LOT OF PLACES, BECAUSE YOU ARE
"STILL NOT CANCELED" TOUR --
>> I NAMED THE TOUR "STILL NOT
CANCELED," I HAVE PEOPLE FROM
BOTH SIDE OF THE AISLE AND THEY
HAVE A LOT OF FUN.
IT’S GREAT, GOOFY, STUPID FUN.
>> YOU’RE NOT GOING TO LEARN
ANYTHING.
[LAUGHTER]
>> Brian: AND I THINK IT’S NOT
DUMB IMPORTANT THAT YOU CAN LET
COMEDY CHANGE, BUT YOU ARE NOT
GOING TO CHANGE.
>> I SAY THIS AT THE BEGINNING
OF MY SHOW IN THE STAND UP.
I HAVE A LITTLE CROWDED, LIKE I
SAID, AND I DON’T CARE.
I’M GOING TO DO THE COMEDY AND
HAVE FUN.
>> THAT’S THE PART WE DON’T SAY,
BRIAN.
>> Steve: WILL YOU HAVE PEANUT
READ YOUR TEASE?
>> JEFF DUNHAM, "ME THE PEOPLE"
AS THIS FRIDAY ON
COMEDY CENTRAL.
