ANNOUNCER: Coming to you from New York City,
the only city in America, it's The Daily Show.
Tonight:
COVID finally catches up with Fauci.
Who will save us?
And Ed Helms.
This is The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.
-♪ ♪ -(cheering, applause)
What's going on, everybody. Welcome to The Daily Show.
I'm Trevor Noah. Thank you so much for tuning in.
Thank you for coming out in person.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you, thank you all so much.
Take a seat, man, we've got a really,
really fun show for you tonight.
Dr. Fauci and the coronavirus are going head-to-head,
swimming is gonna be banned this summer,
and Sweden has found a way to make trash sexy.
Plus, you know him from The Hangover,
you know him from The Office, and season two
of his hit show Rutherford Falls is dropping today--
the very funny Ed Helms is here, everybody!
-Oh, I'm so excited! -(cheering, applause)
So, let's do this people.
Let's jump straight into today's headlines.
♪ ♪
Okay, let's kick things off with some good news.
The Food and Drug Administration has been given the green light
to finally approve COVID vaccines
for children under the age of five.
Which means there are a lot of toddlers who are about to be
popping apple juice in the club.
It's just like, "I got a diaper, I'm going all night, bitches!"
And this is also very good news for Herschel Walker,
because, statistically, one out of every five kids in America
is secretly his.
No, but for real, for real, this is great news
for parents of young children, because while the rest of us
you know, got vaccines and went back to normal,
a lot of parents were stuck in pandemic mode
with their unvaccinated kids.
Yeah, they were just staring out the window at everyone else
having fun, and they're just like,
"Oh, they're going to the movies again. Oh!
I should have used a condom."
Now, of course, if you're not a parent,
this is the worst news ever.
'Cause, I don't know about you guys,
but I've definitely noticed that over the past two years,
you know, I haven't heard any kids
throwing tantrums in the supermarket.
There's been no toddlers
kicking my seat in the movie theater.
And there were basically no children screaming on airplanes.
Yeah, only those crazy Trump supporters
who didn't want to wear a mask. "Waah! Waah!
Waah! I want my mommy!"
But just because COVID is on the back foot right now,
it doesn't mean it's not still putting up a fight.
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Dr. Anthony Fauci has tested
positive for COVID. The 81-year-old
chief medical advisor to President Biden
is fully vaccinated, double boosted.
NEWSOWMAN: He currently taking
the antiviral treatment Paxlovid.
The 81-year-old is only experiencing mild symptoms.
We are told he has not been in close contact
with the president and will now work from home.
That's right. Dr. Fauci has COVID.
Which feels a little like finding out Smokey Bear
got trapped in a forest fire.
Just like, "Damn."
I'm actually-- I'm actually surprised that Fauci
is only getting COVID now,
and didn't get it-- didn't get it while he was, like,
with Trump every day.
Well, think about it-- every single day, Trump was like,
"Okay, COVID task force, we're gonna kick off
"today's meeting by breathing in each other's mouths
"for ten or 15 minutes just to get the energy flowing.
"Anthony, come here, Anthony.
"Open that beautiful mouth, Anthony. Open it wide.
Open it, ah, open it wide."
And, you know, the saddest part, Dr. Fauci--
and, yes, I'm talking to you, Dr. Fauci,
I know you watch the show--
is the fact that you didn't come to
the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Yeah.
The president was there, Kim Kardashian was there,
but you didn't come 'cause you said
you didn't want to catch COVID.
And then you caught COVID anyway. Yeah.
Probably from some boring government meeting.
And, you see, let me tell you something now, people.
That's my philosophy in life.
I'm vaccinated, so if I'm getting COVID,
you best believe I'm doing it in style, okay?
Yeah, I'm not gonna get it from some
bitch-ass PowerPoint presentation, no.
People will ask me, "Trevor, where'd you get your COVID?"
And I'll be like, "Oh, that was one hell of a night.
"Oh! Oh, damn.
Best believe."
I will say, though, what a big moment for COVID as well, huh?
To finally infect
Dr. Anthony Fauci.
I bet COVID was really starstruck
when it got in his body.
Oh, my God, oh, my God!
Oh, my God, it's really you, it's really you!
Wow, I'm so excited.
I need to catch my breath, I need to catch my breath.
Oh, oh, man, Dr. Fauci, I'm inside you.
This is so crazy.
Hold on, I got to FaceTime my boys.
I got to FaceTime my boys.
(line rings)
Hey, yo, guess whose lungs I'm in!
I know, I know, and somehow I'm still taller than him.
This is crazy!
Aah!
(applause)
Okay.
Let's move on from the pandemic in people's lungs
to the pandemic in America's democracy.
Today was the third day of the January 6 hearings,
aka VH1's Behind the Riot.
Now, this session focused predominantly
on Mike Pence, former vice president
and the inspiration behind the white noise machine,
because, you see, Trump's entire plan to overturn the election
hinged on Mike Pence agreeing to break the law
by not certifying the election results,
and today we heard what might be the funniest recounting
of the conversation that Trump actually had with Mike Pence,
where the vice president would not agree to Trump's scheme
no matter how hard The Donald tried.
In the book Peril, journalists Bob Woodward and Robert Costa
write that the president said,
"If these people say you have the power,
wouldn't you want to?"
The vice president says,
"I wouldn't want any one person to have that authority."
The president responds,
"But wouldn't it almost be cool to have that power?"
The vice president is reported to have said,
"No, look, I've read this and I don't see a way to do it.
"We've exhausted every option.
"I've done everything I could and then some
"to find a way around this.
"It's simply not possible.
My interpretation is no."
To which the president says,
"No, no, no, you don't understand, Mike,
"you can do this.
I don't want to be your friend anymore if you don't do this."
(audience laughing)
(laughing): Yo, oh, man, you...
You know, this is, this is the part--
the paradox of Donald Trump.
Like, this is really the paradox.
Like, he has the most terrifying schemes in the world,
but he executes them in the most hilarious ways.
Because Trump basically-- he lives his entire life
as if he's the bad kid in one of those anti-smoking PSAs.
You know, he's like, "Come on, Mike,
"just try overturning the election.
I thought you wanted to be cool."
Also, by the way, if there's one person
who you can't entice with cool, it's Mike Pence.
He's the least cool man in the world.
The man wouldn't even watch the Teletubbies
because they don't wear pants.
And you know what's crazy about this story.
Because Trump said it like this, because he said it like this,
you actually believe that it's true.
Right?
Because if the reporting was that Pence said,
"Sir, we cannot do this," and then Trump said,
"My interpretation of the Constitution offers
ample precedent both legal and historical,"
people would be like, "Yeah, there's no way that happened.
"That didn't happen.
That's not real."
But "I don't want to be your friend anymore"?
You're like, "Yeah, that's, that's-that's my dude.
"That's my dude right there.
That sounds like him."
I also find it crazy that Trump thought they were friends?
Not coworkers, not acquaintance-- friends?
How-how would that even be possible?
What do Pence and Trump have to bond over, huh?
They're just hanging out on the weekend like,
"Thanks for bringing me to this club, Mike.
The music's a little lame, but the ladies are looking good."
"Uh, Mr. President, it's church."
"Oh, that's why it burned when I walked through the door.
Totally get it, totally get it."
All right, but let's move on to some international news.
Here in America, global supply chain issues
have caused shortages of everything,
from tampons to baby formula
and even PlayStation 5s,
which sucks 'cause now I have to play Elden Ring in my head.
(groaning)
Damn, this is so hard!
But it turns out the global supply chain
also affects the globe.
And right now, in Pakistan,
the supply chain is coming for an integral part
of their daily life.
Pakistani tea drinkers remain divided
a day after a government minister urged them
to cut down on their daily hot beverage
as the country struggles with an economic crisis.
Pakistan's Planning and Development minister says
it's getting increasingly expensive
for the country to import tea
as supplies outstrip demand.
NEWSWOMAN: Tea is a hugely popular drink in the country
of 220 million people,
and the government has to spend about $600 million
on tea imports every year.
The average person in Pakistan is believed
to drink at least three cups of tea a day.
But the minister called for people to drink
one or two cups less per day,
sparking outrage.
I knew it.
I knew this would happen.
Yeah. People have been running around,
spilling the tea for the past few years and now look!
There's a shortage. Are you happy, Shade Room?
Are you happy?!
(laughter, applause)
By the way, I love how they mix the tea.
The rest of us do tea boring, just like, "Mm."
They're like, "Wow.
Wah. Pwah."
And I know people can get outraged about anything,
but-- I'm not gonna lie-- it is kind of funny to hear a story
about anyone getting outraged over tea.
No, because you always think of tea drinkers as very calm,
tranquil people, you know?
But, here, they're like, "You can take my Earl Grey
out of my cold dead hands!"
It's so-- it's so wild.
It's like seeing Tom Hanks dropping the F-bomb.
I mean, that's where you know you (bleep)ed up,
you know what I mean?
But when you understand how popular tea is in Pakistan,
it makes sense. Right?
All of the outrage makes sense.
This is part of their national identity.
It's like asking France to cut out croissants
or North Korea to stop launching missiles at dolphins.
That's just what they do.
And I don't know if Pakistan will give up tea.
I mean, they wouldn't even give up bin Laden, you know?
(laughter, gasping)
But...
Too soon?
I will say this,
Pakistan's government has to be careful about this.
Yeah.
Tea shortages are no joke.
Just look at America.
You see what happens
when your people get pissed off about tea. Yeah.
First there's a tea party.
Then there's a revolution.
Before you know it, there's a Great Depression.
They're you're fighting Vietnam,
no one can afford houses, and suddenly you're making a movie
where Ryan Gosling is Barbie!
(screaming)
(cheering and applause)
Don't do it, Pakistan!
All right, finally,
cities all over the world are always trying to find ways
to encourage people not to litter.
In Japan, they use collective shame.
In Singapore, they'll just whup your ass.
In New York, we've, uh, just made the entire city
one big trash can, so, technically,
it's not even possible to litter.
But in Sweden, they've come up with something
that might be the most effective method yet.
Talking dirty in Sweden. Literally.
A Swedish city has launched a campaign
to encourage people to throw away their trash.
Yeah, a couple of trash cans have been installed
and are programmed to respond with seductive audio messages
after somebody throws away their trash.
(gasping)
Well, I guess now we know what it's like
when Oscar the Grouch gets his (bleep) on.
I, uh, did not see that coming.
Just-- And just, by the way, um,
all the guys who are using that trash can,
I hope you know that it's faking it, right?
There's probably dudes walking away thinking,
"Oh-ho, I throw good trash."
No, you don't. No, you don't.
It's actually funny how stupid men are.
We're such simple, stupid creatures.
This would never work on women.
On men, it works.
Yeah, like, we can wear as many ties as we want,
but we're just basically stupid animals
responding to a mating call.
You put a sexy woman's voice
and you can literally get men to do anything.
You realize, we're being catfished by garbage cans.
Right?
And we can see that they're garbage cans.
But then we hear that sexy voice and we're like,
"Well, maybe."
(laughs)
Not to mention, this is going to undo a lot
of parental lessons about littering.
Some ten-year-old boy is going to be like,
"Mommy, I'm going to throw away my empty cup."
And the mom will be like, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
"Just throw it in the lake. Throw it in the late.
It's better that way. You're not ready."
(laughter)
And you know who this really isn't great for,
is your trashcan at home. Yeah.
Because when it finds out what you've been doing
out there in the streets,
oh, it's going to get super jealous.
Well, you're home late.
Probably because were you out on the streets
shoving your trash into that whore again!
(laughter)
You know that anyone can throw trash there, anyone.
You're not special! I want a divorce!
And I'm taking the rotten banana peels with me! Aah!
(applause)
All right, that's it for the headlines,
but before we go, let's check in on traffic
with our very own Roy Wood, Jr., everybody!
-(cheers and applause) -Yeah. What's up, man?
What is happening, Roy?
-Yes, Lord. -Weekend's coming up.
-What's going on in the traffic? -Yes, Lord.
Man, I'm just looking at all these rich people
out there on the road, man.
Yeah, gas, gas ten dollars a gallon.
Being stuck in traffic-- that's the new balling right there.
I don't care nothing about your jewelry.
-Tell me how long you was in traffic today. -(laughter)
Like, if a woman want to meet a rich dude,
just go stand on the freeway, go stand right here.
This is Boston. That's... What... Yeah.
Yeah, go stand on the freeway in Boston.
Them rich people. Them rich people, man.
You think that traffic is a flex?
Oh, absolutely. Absolutely.
Traffic ain't for no broke bitches. This is...
-(laughter) -...strictly for ballers right there, man.
All right, what's going on in the traffic?
Yeah, I'll get to the traffic in a second, man.
You know, what's good about the infant thing...
Like, I know people...
You know, some people don't want
to vaccinate infants or whatever.
-Oh, yeah, yeah. -But I think that's a good thing.
I think it is a good thing if you give the vaccine
to the baby 'cause now they got the microchip in 'em,
-and no more kidnappings. -(laughter)
-Now we know where all the kids will be. -I-I don't...
And we can track 'em down, 'cause once you get the vaccine,
-you get the microchip, and... -No, there is no microchip.
Where did you hear this?
Did you enjoy the ramen you had last night on 41st Street?
I think you were there from 7:30 to 9:15,
and then, when you left, you went southbound
down 9th Avenue if I'm not mistaken?
You're vaccinated, right?
-Yeah. -(laughter)
Yeah, I know. It's an app. It's an app
where it links you with other people who have...
But like, "No." You know, they could be like,
"I'm stalking you." -I don't know if I'm... I'm...
I'm not stalking you. The app told me where you was.
It's the vaccine tracking app.
You ain't got the vaccine tracking app?
I don't have the vaccine tracking app.
Well, I got the app...
What's happening with the traffic, Roy?
-You know what's really messed up about the tea? -Okay.
-The tea over there in Pakistan. -Yeah.
Like, when there was a tea shortage,
that's going to throw off the balance
of the Arnold Palmers in Pakistan.
You ever had an Arnold Palmer and the balance ain't right?
That'll piss you off.
Too much lemonade, too much tea, it's the wrong...
You got to have the Arnold Palmer just perfect amount.
Watch and see if the Al-Qaeda get ahold
of some unbalanced Arnold Palmers.
They're like, "Oh! We got to go blow something up!"
They're gonna be mad. Okay.
I'm telling you, man. I'm telling you, dawg.
All right, well, tell me about the traffic, though.
I do... What do you want me to tell you about the traffic?
-I already told you. -I just want to...
Rich people go and doing rich people...
Yeah, but, like, which roads are blocked,
and which ones are open? It's important, man.
(sighs heavily)
-Let me ask you a question. -(laughter)
If your friend-- let's say you had a friend, right?
Let's say you had a homeboy. You're all cool.
-Real good friend, right? -Mm-hmm.
And you go over to his house,
and he got one of them sex trash cans.
(laughter)
Y'all would still be cool, right?
Like, if you knew somebody that had, like,
ordered one of these
sex-talking cans, the freaky-deaky trash can...
Like, if you went over your friend house,
-and he had the freaky-deaky trash can... -Yeah.
...you wouldn't judge him for having a... a...?
Roy, did you order one of the sex trash cans?
No, I didn't order no sex trash can with custom,
you know, with custom phrases. I didn't do that.
I didn't say anything about custom phrases.
I didn't say nothing about custom phrases, either.
(laughter)
I got to go throw something away.
I'll be right back, all right? I got to throw something away.
(applause and cheering)
It's suspicious.
I was really suspicious.
All right, thank you so much, Roy.
All right, when we come back,
we're going to throw America a giant pool party.
FEMALE VOICE: Oh, Roy, I love swallowing your trash.
(laughter)
We'll be right back.
Roy, what are you doing?
Want to see?
(applause and cheering)
(cheering, applause)
Welcome back to The Daily Show.
This whole week, much of the United States
has been suffering through a heat wave.
And if you've been stuck in it,
please, don't forget to drink water, stay inside
and check in on your elderly neighbors,
'cause they might have air conditioners you can steal.
But if you've been hoping to cool down
at the beach or at the pool,
you might be out of luck.
NEWSMAN: As summer heats up, some families
are cooling down in the water at their own risk.
A major lifeguard shortage is leaving many beaches unguarded
and pools understaffed, forcing some to close.
The American Lifeguard Association estimating
one-third of the nation's public pools are impacted.
The shortage is caused by a wave of factors.
Young people have plenty of other job options to choose from
and training courses were canceled during the pandemic.
Some pools looking to pull in new lifeguards
by upping salaries.
Six Flags St. Louis is offering $18 an hour to lifeguards,
plus a $500 bonus.
Ooh! Pools are closed for the summer?
I won't have nowhere to pee.
But yeah, pools and beaches are in big trouble
because nobody wants to be a lifeguard right now.
Which is surprising to me.
I mean, you'd think every teenager would want this job.
I mean, you get to work on your tan, it's a relaxed dress code
and you get to make out with all those drowning people, you know?
You know, if you ask me, Americans are too soft. Yeah.
I saw this story and I was like, "Americans are too soft."
You won't swim because there's no lifeguard?
(clicks tongue) Man.
If you told an African parent that you won't swim
without a lifeguard, they'd be like,
"Eh, do you know who is your lifeguard?
"Jesus.
Don't forget that. Don't ever forget that."
But this is a major problem, especially for pools
that have to shut down because they can't find lifeguards.
Luckily though, luckily,
Leo Deblin has a solution for you.
-♪ ♪ -Are your beaches and pools closed for the summer
because of a lifeguard shortage?
You just want to swim.
But ain't nobody want to save your ass

Well, break out that swimsuit thong.
'Cause summer is back on.
Introducing...
It's a cardboard cut-out of me
that you can put up on your lifeguard chair.
Guaranteed to look real enough for the safety inspector

(cheering)
Welcome back to The Daily Show.
My guest tonight is actor, writer and producer Ed Helms.
He's here to talk to us about his show Rutherford Falls,
which he co-created and stars in.
But what have you been doing up here?
I've been working on myself.
You know? Examining my blind spots.
I read the book White Fragility and then I read another book
how about White Fragility is bad,
and then I read a third book
called White White Fragility Fragility
about how white people are super fragile
about the book White Fragility.
It's been a real journey for him. And for me, via text.
I'm almost ready to rejoin society, I just
have to nail my reentry. People think I'm a selfish jerk
and they're not wrong.
I have to apologize to everyone
and make sure they know I've grown
and changed as a person.
I'm thinking something splashy, mid-July.
That's ten months away.
Yeah, I know, it's gonna be tight.
Please welcome Ed Helms.
-♪ ♪ -(cheering, applause)
-Ed Helms. -All right, all right.
-Welcome to The Daily Show. -Thank you so much.
Although, is welc-- It's-it's a little weird,
because you-you worked in this very same studio
-for how many years? -Yes.
Like fi-- four, four and a half years.
-Four and a half years. -Something like that, yeah.
-Yeah. -I like what you've done with the place.
-Oh, thank you very much, thank you very much. -Yeah.
Yeah, spruced it up a little bit, we had a little pandemic
in the middle, you know, touched a few things up, you know.
-Yeah? It's looking good. -Yeah. But your stuff
is still here, if you want anything.
I hope so. No one's moved into my office, right?
-Oh, no. No, no, of course not. -Yeah, good. Because
that's sacred space.
-Welcome-welcome to the show. -Thank you, thank you.
And by the way, I love what you have done,
not only with the furniture, but with the show.
-You're crushing it. -Thank you.
-Trevor Noah! -Thank you very much.
-(cheering, applause) -Yes.
I love what you've done with everything.
-Thank you. -Um... 'Cause I'm-- You-you--
You're easily one the funniest people around.
You know, many people were introduced to you
uh, you know, through The Hangover,
but everything that you've done has just been so funny,
and Rutherford-- when I first read about it-- seemed like,
"Oh, you-you're trying to throw it all away."
Because it was a story of-- Really, it seemed like
a crazy story. It's like, "Oh, I'm gonna play a white guy
who goes into a Native American community and basically, like,
fights with them about their own land.
-It doesn't seem like comedy. -Yeah. Yeah.
But it's really funny and it's a great story.
Yeah, well, it's, uh, you know, I guess
that was-that was the challenge--
was to try to keep that character sympathetic.
I mean, it really is, uh...
Like, the-the show was born out of this observation
just that people were kind of not listening to each other
and being crazy and-and...
And-and so we wanted to kind of depict somebody
who-who is having trouble kind of hearing opposing views
or hearing some-- that maybe his interpretation of history
is very wrong...
-(laughs) -...and, uh...
and-and yet also, uh,
that-that-that's--
that can be a good person
-who wants to do better also. -Right.
Right. Can I tell you what I love about the show?
Is that it's funny, it's poignant,
it has, I think-- I'll stand to be corrected--
possibly the largest, um, Native American writing room
-in all of television, maybe. -(cheering and applause)
It's, like, giant. It's up there.
-Even if it's not top, it's up there. -Yeah.
-It's up there. -You-you have, like, a Native American cast.
You've done the thing that everyone says is impossible.
Everyone goes like, "If you include people,
then white people don't work."
-And it's like, you're working, they're working. -(laughs)
-It's a great show. Renewed for season two. -I seem to be--
-I'm doing okay. Yeah, yeah. -You're doing okay.
-They're doing okay. -Yeah. Um... yeah.
There's another show called Reservation Dogs,
-which is also amazing. Yeah. -Yeah. Amazing.
-(cheering and applause) -And that-- and that show has
-a ton of-of Native American writers and directors. -Right.
A lot of our directors, we've shared a lot of, uh, directors
between the shows.
Um... And, yeah, it's just, uh...
it's been an incredibly humbling experience for me.
I think-- I think, before getting into this,
I-I intellectually understood... (stammers)
the-the value of representation, and I would-- I would--
I could talk about it very fluently
and-and advocate for it.
But-but being in this experience has just, like,
really made it kick in for ma-- me in a way that...
I don't know, it's been-- it's been incredible.
It shows, you know? Because, like,
the jokes that you're telling,
the storylines that you-- that you have,
it doesn't become something that it's not supposed to be.
It becomes fresh. It becomes authentic.
It's-it's-- I mean, that's why it got renewed,
-is-is what I think, you know? -Yeah.
Season two, it's-it's an exciting season change as well.
I don't want to spoil anything for those who haven't seen
the first season, but, essentially,
your character comes into this world
where he's trying to preserve his name,
the Rutherford name.
Comes in, realizes at some point
that, you know, his "family"
doesn't stand for the best thing, you know, in the past.
But as we go into season two,
the journey changes slightly.
What-what can you tell us about it?
Uh, so, yeah, the--
you know, we left-- At the end of season one,
my character really had this, like,
-catastrophic identity crisis. -Right.
And, uh... and I think going into...
And all of season one, really, I think,
my cocreators, Mike Schur and Sierra Teller Ornelas--
the three of us, like, really wanted to grapple
-with some big ideas and some big issues. -Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Season two, we were like, "Well, we kind of did a lot of homework
"in season one, and this ensemble is so funny,
"and our writers are so funny.
Let's just, like, lean into the comedy more."
And so, I think this season, we still...
There's still a lot of very sharp satire
-that I'm very, very proud of. -Right.
But it's also...
It's more joyful, it's sillier, it's just...
-I don't know. It's a blast. -When you say,
"lean into the comedy more," I'm excited,
but I'm also a little worried because...
No. I've heard... I've heard stories about you.
I mean, at The Daily Show, you know, with Jon Stewart
when were you a correspondent, you had a mole removed
-on camera for the show. -Yeah, that's true.
-Like, actually, like, the procedure done. -Yes. Yeah.
On The Hangover, you allowed them
-to take out one of your teeth for the movie. -Yes.
-That's, like, real... not tooth. -That really happened.
-Yeah. Yeah. -Yeah, you see that? You see?
-You were like, "Oh, special effects." No. -Yeah, yeah.
That was just him. It was just him being affected.
-That's all it was. -(laughter)
So, when you say, "Lean in," are you still willing
-to do the craziest thing for the look? -Yeah.
So, season two of this show, I-I remove...
-I get decapitated for real. -(laughter)
My head-- it's like... And you know, thankfully,
like, we've got great doctors and everything.
It's, like, I'm fine, as you can see.
But, yeah, I go the extra mile. Like, I'm...
-You really do, though. -I'm super committed,
super method. Yeah.
Like, do your family and friends worry about you?
Because I know people who go the extra mile for comedy.
Like, does your dentist worry? Does...?
Like, you know, do your doctors worry?
Yeah, I guess, I... There's nothing...
I don't know if this is a good thing,
but there is virtually nothing I won't do for a laugh.
(laughter)
I have no pride or dignity.
And so, that's a very freeing thing in show business.
I think it's not just freeing. It's the reason
you're one of the funniest, most amazing people
-that we get to watch on screen. -Oh, thank you.
-Thank you for being on the show. -Oh.
Thank you for joining me here. I appreciate you.
Huge fan. Season two of Rutherford Falls
is now streaming on Peacock. If you haven't watched it,
watch one, jump into two.
We're going to take a quick break,
but we'll be right back after this.
-Thank you man, for real. Such a blast. -Oh, thank you.

between space lasers and birtherism,
lies a dimension of the imagination.
It's an area we call...
The Marjorie Zone.
We've already warmed one degree Celsius.
And do you know what's happened since then?
Here, let me tell you.
We have had more food grown
-since then, which feeds people. -Hmm.
We are able to producing fossil fuels,
keeps people's houses warm in the winter.
That saves people's lives.
