IN THE NEW NORMAL.
IT WAS NICE THAT-- I KNOW THAT NO ONE WILL AGREE BECAUSE I
ENJOYED THIS DEEP FREEZE BECAUSE WE WERE ABLE TO SKATE THIS
WEEKEND AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
THERE WAS A POND.

>> ISN'T IT?
>> Stephen: YOU SKATE ON PONDS?

( APPLAUSE )
SHOW DIFFERENTLY NOW THAN WHEN YOU WANT ON THE AIR IN FEBRUARY
OF 2016?
>> IT'S SO DIFFERENT.
I MEAN, FIRST-- IT'S VERY DIFFERENT FROM HOSTING A SHOW IN
A POST-TRUMP WORLD, TOO.
I FEEL LIKE THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY ITERATION --
>> Stephen: I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
>> A COMPLETE BLANK.
WE HAVE LONGER TO EXPLORE OURSELVES.
LIKE, I JUST FINISHED WHAT I WAS DOING PRIOR TO COMING HERE TODAY
WAS SHOOTING THIS WHOLE PIECE IN A CAT CAFE IN BROOKLYN.
SO I'M HAVING SO MUCH FUN.
I HAD, LIKE, 40 CATS ON ME TODAY.
>> Stephen: REALLY?
ARE YOU A CAT PERSON?
>> I LOVE CATS.
I HAVE SO MUCH DANDER ON MY BODY RIGHT NOW.
>> Stephen: YOU DON'T HAVE AN ALLERGY?
>> GOD NO.
I HOPE NO ONE IN THIS ROOM DOES.
EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A GIANT ROOM, YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A
FACE FULL OF DANDER JUST FROM ME PHYSICALLY BEING HERE.
>> Stephen: THE 40 CATS, IS THAT PART OF THIS?
YOU GAVE A LITTLE HINT, A PREVIEW, A TEASER OF WHAT THE
SEASON IS GOING TO BE LIKE ON THE TWITTER.
>> I DID.
>> Stephen: YOU SAID, "NEXT SEASON, WE'RE GOING TO GO
( BLEEP ), NUT-NUT."
>> THAT'S IT.
THAT'S IT.
>> Stephen: WHICH IS A KENDALL ROY REFERENCE TO "SUCCESSION."
>> IT WAS SO NICE TO SEE BRIAN.
I LIKED THAT.
ME FILMING A SHOW ABOUT, LIKE, MISINFORMATION, VACCINE
MISINFORMATION, BUT FRAMING IT IN A KITTEN CAFE WITH 40 KITTENS
CLIMBING OVER MY BODY.
THAT'S ME GOING ( BLEEP ) NUT-NUT, STEPHEN.
>> Stephen: WILL WE LEARN ANYTHING FROM THIS?
>> WE MIGHT.
I'M TRYING TO PUT SOME INFORMATION INTO IT, BUT TRULY
IT'S ME LIVING MY BEST LIFE.
>> Stephen: THAT'S NICE.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: THAT'S NICE.
>> YOU KNOW WHAT...
( APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: YOU AND I OF COURSE WORKED TOGETHER.
>> WE DID.
>> Stephen: MANY YEARS OVER AT THE PLACE CALLED "THE DAILY."
>> YUP.
>> Stephen: AND WE DID A LOT OF ELECTIONS.
>> WE DID.
>> Stephen: AND OF COURSE THERE'S, LIKE, PRESIDENTIAL YEAR
ELECTIONS AND THEN THERE'S THE MIDTERMS.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: AND WE'RE IN A MIDTERM YEAR.
>> YUP.
>> Stephen: ARE YOU MID-EXCITED?
>> EVEN HEARING THE WORD "MIDTERM" MAKES ME WANT TO TAKE
MY MICROPHONE AND RUN OUT OF THE FEELING.
>> Stephen: I'M SO EXCITED TO TALK ABOUT WHAT'S GOING TO
HAPPEN IN OKLAHOMA'S SEVENTH DISTRICT.
( BLEEP ) THAT'S SOMETHING YOU COULD SINK YOUR TEETH INTO.
>> I'LL GET THE KITTENS TO TALK ABOUT THAT.
>> Stephen: THE THING IS YOU CAN'T SORT OF NECESSARILY IGNORE
IT.
>> NO!
>> Stephen: BECAUSE WHAT I DO, CERTAINLY, AND I THINK TO A
CERTAIN EXTENT YOU DO, YOU'RE SORT OF A SHADOW OF WHAT'S
HAPPENING IN THE NATIONAL NEWS CONFERENCE.
BECAUSE THAT'S THE FOOTAGE YOU'RE ROLLING IN.
ALL THEY WILL TALK ABOUT IS THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS.
>> I KNOW BBUT WE WILL TELL THE STORY OF THE LOSS OF
CIVILIZATION WITH A LITTLE PANACHE.
>> Stephen: NEXT TO THE FLAMING PIT, IT SHEDS A LOVELY
LIGHT.
>> FEEL THAT WARMTH.
>> Stephen: LIKE MANY COMEDIANS YOU WERE A WAITRESS
BEFORE YOU WERE THE SAM BEE WE KNOW AND LOVE.
>> Stephen: I'M CURIOUS HOW YOUR WAITRESSING EXPERIENCE IN
TORONTO?
>> YES.
>> Stephen: ACROSS THE LAKES, I WAS IN CHICAGO AMERICA HEY
TORONTO.
>> IT TRULY IS.
>> Stephen: IT KIND OF IS.
THEY'RE KIND OF SISTER CITIES.
I'M CURIOUS WHAT YOUR EXPERIENCE WAS LIKE IF IT WAS BETTER THAN
MINE.
I DID FIVE YEARS.
>> I THINK I DID-- I THINK I DID AROUND FIVE, SOMEWHERE BETWEEN
FIVE YEARS AND A DECADE AND A HALF.
>> Stephen: WERE YOU AT THE SAME PLACE.
>> MY FIRST WAITERING JOB WAS AT A 24-HOUR PANCAKE HOUSE THE
GOLDEN GRIDDLE.
>> Stephen: YOU HAVE ALL THE DRUNK PEOPLE AT 2:00 A.M. ARE
CUTTING BIG CHECKS TO THE WAITRESS.
>> I ONLY EVER WORKED THE NIGHT SHIFT, FROM 10:00 P.M. TO 6:00
A.M.
IT WAS THE BEST OF TIMES, IT WAS MOSTLY THE WORST OF TIMES.
>> Stephen: WHAT IS YOUR SOCIAL LIKE LIFE?
HOW OLD ARE YOU AT THIS POINT?
>> MID-20s.
>> Stephen: AND YOU WORKED FROM 10:00 AT NIGHT UNTIL 6:00
IN THE MORNING.
HOW DO YOU INTERACT WITH THE OTHER HUMANS WHO ARE LIVING THE
OTHER HUMAN SCHEDULE.
>> YOU-- WELL, I THINK WHEN YOU'RE IN YOUR 20s YOU'RE JUST
WEAK ALL THE TIME.
I THINK THAT'S FINE.
>> Stephen: YOU WAKE UP, WHEN?
>> YOU WOULD GO-- YOU WOULD GO TO SLEEP AT 6:00, YOU GET UP AT,
LIKE, 11:00.
>> Stephen: YOU WOULDN'T GO TO SLEEP AT SIX, YOU WERE OFF WORK
AT SIX.
>> I WOULD RIDE MY BIKE HOME FOR, LIKE, 45 MINUTE.
I LIVED REALLY FAR AWAY FROM THE GOLDEN GRIDDLE.
>> Stephen: THAT'S AWFUL!
>> AND ALL NIGHT LONG SERVE PEOPLE WHO ARE SO DRUNK AND SO
HIGH, AND COMING OFF A ""STAR TREK"" CONVENTION ORDERING THEIR
FOOD IN KLINGON, AND I'M JUST LIKE...
>> Stephen: DID WHAT THAT?
>> SO MANY TIMES.
THIS IS VERY ORIGINAL, I'M GOING TO ASK FOR MY BUCK WHEAT
PANCAKES IN KLINGON.
SHE WILL NEVER SEE IT COMING.
I'M LIKE, DUDE, YOU HAVE A FULL FACE OF MAKEUP ON.
I WAS EXPECTING THIS.
AND IT'S STILL NOT FUNNY.
THAT'S IT.
I JUST GOT A CHILL UP ON MY SPNE.
>> Stephen: CONGRATULATIONS ON 200 SHOWS.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> Stephen: AND SEVEN SEASONS.
