( APPLAUSE ) ♪ ♪ ♪
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: HELLO.

HOW ARE YOU?
>> Stephen: NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
>> NICE TO SEE YOU, TOO.
>> Stephen: WE MET BRIEFLY BACKSTAGE AT "NIGHT OF TOO MANY
STARS."
>> TERRIFIED THAT NIGHT.
>> Stephen: WERE YOU?
WHY, BECAUSE YOU WERE IN MADISON SQUARE GARDEN.
>> IT WAS LIVE.
>> Stephen: SURE.
>> AND EVERYONE I LOVE WAS BACKSTAGE.
>> Stephen: YES, I IT WAS AN AMAZING GROUP OF PEOPLE.
MICHELLE WOLF WAS THERE.
>> SHE WAS TERRIBLE!
>> Stephen: NOW, YOU WORKED AT A COUPLE OF GREAT SHOWS.
"LATE NIGHT WITH SETH MYERS."
NOW YOU'RE AT "THE DAILY SHOW WITH TREVOR NOAH."
I HEAR VERY GOOD THINGS.
YOU ALSO JUST RELEASED YOUR FIRST-- PLEASE SAY HI TO BOTH OF
THOSE PEOPLE, PLEASE.
>> I WILL.
>> Stephen: YOU JUST RELEASED-- I HAVE A BIG POSTER
HERE-- YOUR FIRST HBO SPECIAL.
2-S CALLED "NIGHT OF TOO MANY STARS."
YOU CAN EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT'S GOING ON IN THIS POSTER HERE?
>> WELL, I WANTED TO-- IT'S "NICE LADY" BECAUSE I'M NOT A
NICE LADY.
AND I WANTED TO LOOK LIKE I WAS, LIKE, BURNING IT ALL DOWN.
AND THIS WAS THE CONCEPT THEY CAME UP WITH, WHICH I LOVED.
BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, I'M THROWING A LIGHTER.
AND A LOT OF PEOPLE TOOK ISSUE WITH THAT.
A LOT OF REAL NERDS ON INSTAGRAM AND TWITTER WERE LIKE, "UM, SO
ARE YOU THROWING A SECOND LIGHTER?"
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: OH, BECAUSE--
BECAUSE IF THE EXPLOSION HAPPENED, THEN YOU THREW THE
LIGHTER TO SET OFF THE THING-- >> YES, BUT THAT'S NOT HOW I SET
THE EXPLOSION!
I LIT A FUSE.
>> Stephen: OH, SO WHY ARE YOU THROWING AWAY YOUR LIGHTER?
>> IT'S EVIDENCE.
I'M NOT A SMOKER, SO I WAS LIKE, "I DON'T NEED THIS."
( LAUGHTER ) "GET OUT OF HERE."
>> Stephen: ALL RIGHT.
( APPLAUSE ) NOW, YOU KNOW, I'VE GOT THIS
OTHER CARD HERE WITH-- A TWEET YOU JUST SENT RECENTLY.
>> OH, YEAH.
>> Stephen: AND I THINK IT'S GOT A STRONG MESSAGE.
>> YEAH, I THINK -- >> Stephen: IT'S A STRONG
MESSAGE.
IT'S ABOUT SORT OF-- THE RASH OF REVELATIONS OF SEXUAL
IMPROPRIETY AND SEXUAL ABUSE.
AND THIS IS A REALLY IMPORTANT MESSAGE, I THINK.
WOULD YOU MIND SAY IT.
IT'S WRITTEN RIGHT ON THE BACK HERE.
>>
( APPLAUSE ) ( CHEERS )
>> Stephen: HOW DOES THAT GO?
DO YOU HAVE TO SAY "YOUR PENIS?
OR JUST "PENIS" THREE TIMES.
YOU SAY "YOUR PENIS" OR "PENIS."
>> WOULD SAY BEETLE JUICE.
PENIS-- WAIT, WE'RE GETTING REALLY CLOSE TO IT BEING THREE
TIMES.
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: I'M INSULTED BY THE IMPLICATION.
( LAUGHTER ).
>> THERE'S A LOT OF MEN HERE.
>> Stephen: WHAT?
OH, OKAY.
WELL, WHAT IS YOUR-- LIKE, WHAT IS YOUR REACTION TO THE THESE
REVELATIONS ABOUT SEXUAL HARASSMENT?
WHICH, OBVIOUSLY, WOMEN KNOW AND TALK ABOUT AND MEN, TO I A
CERTAIN DEGREE, WITH WILLFULLY IGNORANT.
>> THERE IS SO MUCH SEXUAL HARASSMENT OVER THE PAST COUPLE
OF CENTURYS.
( LAUGHTER ) JUST ALL THESE BRAND NEW
ALLEGATIONS FROM THE BEGINNING OF TIME.
I THINK IT'S ACTUALLY IN THE BIBLE.
THEY WERE LIKE, "AND ON THE THIRD DAY GOD WAS LIKE 'HEY,
SUGAR (BLEEP)'."
I JUST IMAGINE EVERY MORNING MEN, LIKE, SCROLL THROUGH THE
NEWS ON THEIR PHONE AND THEY'RE LIKE, "AHHHH... I LIVE ANOTHER
DAY!" >> Stephen: IT'S LIKE CHECKING
THE OBITS TO SEE IF YOU'RE DEAD.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: WELL, DO YOU HAVE-- DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE
ON, LIKE, YOU KNOW, HOW TO PROPERLY APPROACH A WOMAN IN A
WAY THAT IS NOT-- OBVIOUSLY NOT AT WORK.
OBVIOUSLY NOT IN POWER DYNAMIC?
I'M NOT REFERRING TO US, BUT AN UNEQUAL POWER DYNAMIC?
WHAT DO YOU THINK A PROPER WAY TO DO THIS WOULD BE?
>> IT'S SO-- THE THING THAT'S SO ANNOYING ABOUT SEXUAL HARASSMENT
IS THAT IT'S SO EASY NOT TO SEXUALLY HARASS.
LIKE, MEN, YOU'RE BEING DUMB.
LIKE, WOMEN-- WE WILL DO ALMOST ANYTHING YOU WANT.
WE'RE SO EASY TO MANIPULATE.
YOU'RE JUST TAKING THE SHORTCUT.
YOU HAVE TO PUT IN THE WORK.
YOU KNOW.
DON'T JUST PULL OUT YOUR PENIS.
YOU KNOW, LIKE, PUT IN THE WORK.
SAY SOMETHING LIKE, "OH, MY GOD, HAVE YOU LOST WEIGHT?"
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )
AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, YOU'RE MASTURBATING IN FRONT OF US WITH
OUR CONSENT.
IT'S LIKE, "YEAH, SURE YOU CAN DO THAT.
I FEEL SO SKINNY."
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )
THEN WE'RE BOTH ORGASMING FOR DIFFERENT REASON S.
>> Stephen: WHAT WE SHOULD NOT SAY TO A MAN SOTHER OH, MY
GOD, HAS YOUR PENIS LOST WEIGHT."
DO YOU THINK-- DO YOU THINK THAT THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY IS
IMPROVING IN ANY WAY?
DO YOU THINK-- LIKE, IN GENERAL OR RIGHT NOW IT'S IMPROVING IN
ANY WAY?
>> WELL, I MEAN, IT'S NICE TO SEE THAT THEY'RE GET SOMETHING
FEMALE SIOUX HEROES.
WE HAVE WONDER WOMAN.
>> Stephen: GREAT MOVIE.
>> WELL, I THINK WE SHOULD ADMIT-- MAYBE WE'RE READY AS A
SOCIETY TO ADMIT WONDER WOMAN IS A TERRIBLE SUPER HERO.
NO, TAKE A WALK WITH ME.
I-- SHE SUCKS.
HER POWER IS THEULA SO OF TRUTH.
THAT'S A REALLY BAD POWER.
AND I'M ALSO-- I'M PRETTY SURE IT'S SEXIST.
THE GUY THAT CREATED HER IS LIKE IF WOMEN COULD HAVE ANY POWER,
ANY POWER AT ALL, THEY'D WANT THE TRUTH!
( LAUGHTER ).
>> Stephen: WE GET TO BE INVISIBLE AND FLY.
>> YEAH.
IT'S LIKE, WE WANT THE TRUTH.
WHICH IS CRAZY, BECAUSE I WOULDN'T WANT THE TRUTH.
IF I COULD HAVE ANY POWER IT WOULD BE THE POWER TO MAKE A MAN
HAVE MY BABY.
"YOU HAVE MY BABY.
YOU HAVE MY BABY.
YOU HAVE MY BABY."
BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, WE'VE GOT A BUNCH OF LITTLE REDHEADS RUNNING
AROUND HERE, AND I DIDN'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING.
TRUTH-- TRUTH IS A BAD POWER.
BECAUSE VILLAINS AREN'T BAD BECAUSE THEY LIE.
VILLAINS TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO.
IT'S ONE OF THE TRADEMARKS OF A VILLAIN.
>> Stephen: RIGHT.
>> LIKE THE JOKER'S LIKE, "I PUT A BOMB IN GOTHAM.
YOU HAVE 90 MINUTES."
WONDER WOMAN SHOWS UP AND SHE'S LIKE, "I MEAN, HE WAS HONEST,
SO... IT'S REALLY ALL YOU CAN ASK."
>> Stephen: WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.
IT WAS WONDERFUL TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
>> Stephen: "MICHELLE WOLF: NICE LADY" IS AVAILABLE ON HBO.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
