-(applause & cheering continue) -Yes.
Thank you very much!
Thank you!
Thank you very much!
-Thank you. -AUDIENCE: Larry! Larry!
-Thank you very much! -Larry! Larry! Larry!
-Thank you. I appreciate it. -(chanting continues)
Thank you. Welcome to
-Larry! Larry! Larry! Larry! Larry! -Thank you very much.
-Please. You're too kind. -MAN: We love you, Larry! -(cheering)
-I love you, too! I love you, too. -MAN: We love you, Larry.
I love all you guys!
(laughter)
I am Larry Wilmore.
Um, so, how was your day?
(laughter)
Um...
Mine? Yours was okay?
Well, as many of you probably heard,
this is our final week of
-(booing) -I know. Yeah.
Four shows left, and I just want to thank Comedy Central
first of all, for this rare opportunity,
and it really is a rare opportunity...
-doing this thing. -(applause and cheering)
Thank you so much.
And also, the staff of this show--
we have an amazing staff, you guys--
for giving it their all this past 20 months.
Um, I want to thank, um... um, all of them here.
And especially, I want to thank all of our fans.
Let me just say, you guys have been unbelievable.
We have the best fans in late night, I'm saying it right now.
-Okay? Right now. -(cheers and applause)
It's the passion.
Um, it really is true.
People come up, and they never say, "Hey, nice show."
They always say, "Thank you!"
You know, it's such a cool thing.
And hearing from you guys has really been incredible.
Even you, @wilmore_blows666.
(laughter)
I mean, you brought such a unique voice to the dialogue.
-I appreciate that. Uh... -(laughter)
Now, when we started the show, we wanted to have a conversation
on some very tough subjects,
and we've had a lot of fun doing just that.
I mean, really, our show was at its best
when the news was at its worst.
And, uh, I'm just so proud
that we were able to take on real issues,
and, I don't know, hopefully, say something powerful
while making people laugh and on some very, very dark days.
Um, my only regret is that we won't be around
to cover this truly insane election season.
Although, on the plus side, on the plus side, I must say,
our show going off the air has to only mean one thing--
racism is solved.
-(laughter) -We did it.
-(applause and cheering) -We did it.
In fact, in fact, in fact, I think we have a photo
from Ferguson that was taken earlier today.
(laughter)
Yeah! You're welcome, America.
You're welcome.
But black and white aren't the only issues out there right now.
Orange seems to be the biggest problem facing America.
WOMAN: Yes! Yes!
So let's check in and see what's happening with the Unblackening.
♪ ♪
(screeching)
(yelling)
(screeching and yelling)
(screeching)
That thing's gonna haunt me for a long time.
-(laughter) -It is.
Okay, now, last week, I made a few jokes
at the expense of Trump's spokes-goblin Katrina Pierson.
(laughter)
Um, I don't want to give the impression
I was picking on her just because she's working for Trump.
I would never do that.
-Goblin lives matter, you guys. -(laughter)
Okay? They matter.
Ugh!
But then she has to go and say this.
Remember, we weren't even in Afghanistan by this time.
Barack Obama went into Afghanistan,
creating another problem.
-No, no, no, no! -(laughter)
No, Obama did not go into Afghanistan!
Now you're just being stupid for stupid's sake!
-WOMAN: Yeah, there you go! -Okay?
But I don't understand. What is wrong with you people?
Perhaps you're not familiar with all the disasters
from the Bush Administration.
There was a terrorist attack. We got into two wars.
Vice president shot his friend, for Christ's sakes.
There was a horrible hurricane, which, thanks to you,
is no longer the first thing that comes up when you Google
the words "Katrina" and "Total (bleeping) show."
(laughter)
-Okay. -(applause)
-But... -(whooping)
but... but--
sorry-- maybe you were going fast
and you didn't mean to say that.
Let me give you the benefit of the doubt.
That was Obama's war, yes.
Mmm...
But look at the confident way she spews that bull (bleep).
"It was Obama's war, yes."
(laughter)
Now, earlier today she admitted she got this wrong,
after the entire world told her she was wrong.
But here's what really gets me, guys.
She's the spokesperson for a man
seeking the highest office in the land.
All she had to do was be alive for the last 16 years...
right, to have known she was wrong.
And keep in mind, as a goblin,
she may have been alive for centuries.
(laughter)
All right? I'm just saying.
-(applause, whooping) -This is possible.
Also, here's the other thing. And these Trump surrogates
not only spew these lies, like, with confidence,
sometimes the bull (bleep) coming out of their mouths
surprises even them.
So to be clear, Mr. Trump has no financial relationships
with any Russian oligarchs?
If that's what he said, I... that's what I said...
that's obviously what the... our position is.
-(laughter) -Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
The bull (bleep) is coming out of his mouth so fast,
you almost want to hold his head back, right?
-(laughter) -(coughs)
Go ahead, man, get it out. Take your time.
(choking)
(groans) But someone who doesn't seem to mind
the taste of bull (bleep) in their mouth is the...
is the bovine dung connoisseur himself.
President Obama.
He is the founder of ISIS.
He's the founder of ISIS. Okay?
-(cheering) -He's the founder.
He founded ISIS.
And... I would say the cofounder
would be crooked Hillary Clinton.
Mm, mm, mm.
Please make up your own joke there.
(laughter)
But Trump soon followed that bat (bleep) crazy statement
by doing something very presidential--
sending a bat (bleep) crazy tweet.
All right?
(audience gasps, groans)
(laughter)
Well, but that's not sarcasm.
Sarcasm is when you tell your friend with the ugly shirt,
"Hey, nice shirt."
(laughter)
Not sure why you would do that to your friend
who's just trying to get back on the dating scene
after his divorce, but...
Regardless, sarcasm is a pretty lame excuse.
But at least Trump kind of admitted he was wrong, right?
Obviously, I'm being sarcastic. Then... then...
But not that sarcastic, to be honest with you.
(laughter)
"To be honest"? You're never honest with us!
The end of your sentence stated the complete opposite
of the beginning of your sentence.
Do you have any idea how confused
the middle of your sentence is?
(laughter)
(groans)
I got to Keep It 100 about this election.
Donald Trump has stopped being funny,
he's stopped being outrageous,
he's stopped being politically incorrect--
he's just downright dangerous.
AUDIENCE MEMBERS: Yeah! Yeah!
(whooping, applause)
Let me tell you.
And the worst...
and the worst of it is, he's just a liar, okay?
And I don't want to hear...
(mocking): "Hillary Clinton's a liar, too."
Okay? That is a false equivalency.
Let me tell you something.
Hillary Clinton is a very smart and capable politician
who many people don't trust because she spends too much time
lawyering her words so she doesn't lose votes,
instead of telling us what she actually (bleep) thinks.
All right?
Donald Trump is a psychopathic narcissist who...
-(cheers and applause) -MAN: Go, Larry.
...not only has the hands of an infant, he has the mind of one.
Okay?
(cheers and applause)
I'm just saying.
And I apologize to all infants.
(laughter)
Okay?
So, stop comparing the two.
Donald Trump is an existential threat to America.
And if you love America, like me,
you have to hope that Hillary Clinton wins
every single electoral vote this November.
-(applause, cheering) -Let me just say.
Let me make this clear.
(applause)
It's not so much that "I'm with her."
It's that I'm with her.
We'll be right back.
(cheers and applause)
