PRESIDENT.

APOLOGIZE.
>> BUT THE FUNNY THING IS, THE FUNNY THING IS, IT IT TURNED OUT
TO BE A BLESSING BECAUSE I REALIZED I SHUNT NEED EXTERNAL
VALIDATION TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT MYSELF.
ANYONE PERFORMING COMEDY HAS A DISEASE.
WANTING THAT MUCH ATTENTION FROM STRANGERS IS AN ILLNESS, AND WE
SHOULD TREAT IT AS SUCH.
THANK YOU.
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE).

>> James: YES.
>> ARE YOU HAPPY?
>> James: YES.
>> ARE YOU HAPPY, COMING OUT HERE NIGHT AFTER NIGHT TALKING
TO GOD KNOWS WHO ABOUT GOD KNOWS WHAT AT 1:00 IN THE MORNING.
IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT ME TO TALK ABOUT?
OR DO YOU WANT ME TO DO STUFF ABOUT FIDGET SPINNERS.
>> James: DO THE FIDGET SPINNERS.
>> I DIDN'T HEAR YOU.
>> James: I WANT YOU TO DO THE.
>> THE FIDGET SPINNER STUFF?
ALL RIGHT.
SO FIDGET SPINNERS ARE WEIRD.
THEY'RE LIKE CAT TOYS FOR HUMANS EXCEPT WHEN I PLAY WITH ONE NO
ONE GIVES ME A TREAT AFTERWARDS.
I'M TREY WAKEMAN, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>> James: WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK, EVERYBODY.
