JUST EVERYTHING HERE.
YEAH.
Trini: WELCOME BACK TO
"LIVING 808."
OKAY.
WHAT COULD BE BETTER THAN A DAY
FULL OF LAUGHTER?
TODAY IS THAT DAY.
TODAY IS NATIONAL TELL A JOKE
DAY.
WE HAD TO INVITE OUR GOOD
FRIEND, ONE AND ONLY AUGIE T. TO
GIVE ME SOME TIPS ON HOW TO TELL
JOKES.
I COULD USE SOME HELP.
BEFORE WE GET TO THE TIPS,
YOU'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR LONG
TIME.
HOW MANY YEARS?
7 YEA 27 YEARS.
Trini: 27 YEARS.
YOU LOVE IT.
WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT
BEING ON STAGE TELLING JOKES?
I LOVE THE REACTION.
THERE'S NOTHING LIKE SAYING
SOMETHING AND PEOPLE RESPONDING
WITH A HUGE LAUGH.
ALMOST HYPNOTIC.
I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH KIDS NOW
DAYS GETTING THEIR LAPTOPS.
A LOT OF EDITING.
THEY GET IT PERFECT.
WHEN YOU'RE ON STAGE AND TELLING
A JOKE, THERE'S NO RESPONSE, YOU
KNOW THAT JOKE SUCKS.
WHEN THERE'S A GOOD RESPONSE,
AMAZING.
HOW IT MAKES YOU FEEL.
AMAZING ADRENALINE.
DO WHAT I DO.
IT HELPS ME STAY YOUNG.
Trini: I BELIEF YOU.
MY MOTHER TELLS GOOD JOKES.
HAS THAT EVER HAPPENED TO YOU?
OF COURSE.
YOU KNOW WHY I'M WORKING, GET
SOME NICE WAVES.
FOR ME NOW I KIND OF LOVE IT.
WHEN I WAS FIRST STARTING OUT, I
ALWAYS WANTED TO KILL, MEAN SLAM
ON THE JOKE.
NOW THE FUN OF WATCHING LOOK AT
ME AT LUGGAGE AND BAG GAGE CLAIM
IS THE BEST.
Trini: LIKE THEY DON'T GET
IT.
JOKE.
MOST IMPORTANT THING IS YOU
GOT TO FULLY COMMIT.
EVEN IF THE JOKE SUCKS.
BECAUSE ALMOST GOT TO FEEL LIKE
YOU'RE ENJOYING IT.
I'M HAVING A GOOD TIME.
I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYBODY
THINKS.
THIS IS AWESOME.
Trini: COMMITMENT TIP ONE.
TIP TWO.
I WOULD USE A LOT OF -- ONE
OF THE THINGS BEING PORTUGUESE,
WEIGH LOVE USING OUR HANDS.
BE DRAMATIC.
MAYBE FIND CHARACTERS IN THE
JOKE.
EVEN IF IT'S A ONE OR TWO LINER.
I LIKE BEING --
Trini: ANIMATED.
YES.
Trini: COMMIT AND BE
ANIMATED.
ENTHUSIASTIC.
THAT'S IT.
IF YOU CAN PULL IT OFF, WE'RE IN
FOR A GREAT RIDE.
Trini: OKAY.
SOUNDS GOOD.
ANYTHING ABOUT KNOWING YOUR
AUDIENCES?
NO.
Trini: NO.
A FUNNY JOKE IS A FUNNY JOKE.
I'M A FIRM BELIEVER IF YOU
LOVE WHAT YOU DO, DOESN'T
MATTER.
A LOT OF TIMES COMICS THINK
AUDIENCE.
NO.
I LIKE DOING WHAT I DO.
IF YOU DON'T LIKE ME, TA THAT'S
YOUR PROBLEM.
Trini: WE'RE GOING TO TEST
MY JOKE-TELLING SKILLS.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
LEST.
