THE SEASON TO BREAK ROGER MARIS' AMERICAN LEAGUE RECORD
OF COURSE RIGHT AFTER IT HAPPENED, RESPONSES STARTED POURING IN
EVERYONE WAS TWEETING ABOUT IT EVEN PRESIDENT BIDEN CONGRATULATED HIM.
THIS IS REAL BIDEN TWEETED, "CONGRATS ON HOME RUN 62.
HISTORY MADE, MORE HISTORY TO MAKE." THAT'S NICE.
[ LIGHT LAUGHTER ] AND BIDEN SENT ANOTHER THAT SAID, "I WAS THERE WHEN MARIS

IT WAS THE FUNNIEST THING AT THE PERFECT TIME I WAS EXHAUSTED.
I WAS LIKE, "WHAT'S UP, BUD. AND YOU JUST LOOKED AT ME, AND THEN THE WINDOW ROLLED UP.
AND YOU TOOK OFF >> THAT WAS NOT MY FAULT >> Jimmy: NO
>> MY DRIVER WAS REAL BOSSY. >> Jimmy: OH, YEAH, RIGHT. >> AND HE WANTED TO GET HOME
AND I SAID, "NO, I JUST CALLED JIMMY. HE'S COMING OVER."
HE GOES, "NO, I GOT TO GO. AND HE STARTS DRIVING AWAY >> Jimmy: YEAH
>> I WAS FURIOUS I SAID, "YOU GOT TO GO BACK. HE GOES, "NO, I'M TAKING YOU
BACK TO YOUR HOTEL." I LUNGED OVER THE SEAT I GRABBED HIM BY THE THROAT.
>> Jimmy: OH, MY GOD [ LAUGHTER ] THAT'S A CRAZY STORY, KEVIN.
I DON'T BELIEVE ANY OF IT. [ LAUGHTER ] GRABBED HIM BY THE THROAT.
>> I DID >> Jimmy: LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR BOOK "I EXAGGERATE: MY BRUSHES
WITH FAME. IT'S FULL OF CARICATURES THAT YOU'VE DRAWN OF DIFFERENT
CELEBRITIES. WHEN DID THIS START FOR YOU? >> WELL, I LOVED -- I ALWAYS
LOVED DRAWING CARICATURES. I WAS NEVER THAT GOOD AT IT. BUT I ALWAYS KIND OF DOODLED AS
A KID. I HAD A PAINTING OF MY MOTHER AND FATHER FRAMED AS
CARICATURES. AND THEY WERE GREAT. >> Jimmy: YOU DID IT
>> NO, I DIDN'T DO IT. SOME ARTIST IN PARIS DID IT. AND THEY WERE GREAT.
THEY WERE IN PASTELS AND I LAY UP LATE EVERY NIGHT KIND OF LOOKING AT THEM.
AND I THINK SUBCONSCIOUSLY I WAS STUDYING THEM AND HOW THE GUY DREW THEM AND EVERYTHING
AND THEN, YOU KNOW, AS I GOT OLDER, I STARTED DOING IT MORE AND THEN WHEN I WAS ON
AIRPLANES, I STARTED SKETCHING PEOPLE WHEN THEY WERE SLEEPING THEY'RE LIKE -
[ LAUGHTER ] AND I'D SKETCH THEM, YOU KNOW. >> Jimmy: YOU WOULD SKETCH
THEM - >> YEAH. AND I NEVER TOLD THEM ABOUT
THEM ABOUT, THOUGH SOME OF THOSE ARE IN THE BOOK. >> Jimmy: LIKE ON WHAT
LIKE ON A -- >> JUST ON A BARF BAG OR A A NAPKIN
[ LAUGHTER ] IT'S BETTER TO DO IT WITH AN EMPTY BARF BAG
>> Jimmy: YOU GRADUATE TO -- YEAH, YEAH, YEAH >> AND THEN, I WAS IN "SNL."
AT THE TABLE READS, SOMETIMES, WOULD GET A LITTLE SLOW AND MONOTONOUS
I WOULD START -- IF I WASN'T IN A SKETCH, I WOULD START SKETCHING THE PERSON ACROSS
FROM ME, WHETHER IT'S FARLEY OR DANA CARVEY. YOU KNOW, AND THEN I'D JUST --
>> Jimmy: WE ACTUALLY HAVE -- THIS IS IN THE BOOK, BUT THIS IS -
FRONT PAGE OF THE SCRIPT FROM "SNL." AND YOU --

I NOTICED I WASN'T IN THE BOOK THAT -- YOU KNOW, IT DOESN'T MATTER
>> WELL, YOU SHOULD THANK ME FOR THAT [ LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: OKAY >> HERE'S THE PROBLEM, JIMMY THIS HAS RUINED MY LIFE.
BECAUSE AS A CARICATURE ARTIST, YOU LOOK AROUND. EVERYONE YOU LOOK AT, YOU SEE
THEIR FEATURES THAT ARE OUTSTANDING. SO, IT'S LIKE WALKING THROUGH
A FUN HOUSE EVERY DAY. AND EVERYBODY LOOKS KIND OF LIKE DISTORTED AND STUFF
AND IT'S A LITTLE FREAKY >> Jimmy: WHAT ABOUT THEM STICKS OUT

READY? ONE, TWO, THREE. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

[ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE I GREW UP IN MICHIGAN. WHERE THEY MADE US READ THIS

[ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE WOW. WOW.
YOU KNOW, I'VE TOLD THAT JOKE A MILLION TIMES, YOU ARE THE FIRST GROUP THAT HAS GOTTEN IT
[ LAUGHTER ] NO, OBVIOUSLY NOT. SO, GROWING UP, I HAD THIS
COMPLEX, INFERIORITY COMPLEX WHERE I WAS LIKE, "OH, MY GOD, I'LL DO ANYTHING TO MAKE A
A WHITE PERSON LIKE ME." I LEARNED HOW TO BEAT BOX. WHY?
WHY DO I KNOW HOW TO DO THIS [ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE 13-YEARS-OLD, I COULD DO THIS.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE HONESTLY, I WAS TRAINING FOR BAR-MITZVAHS
[ LAUGHTER ] ONE TIME I WAS IN A CLOSETED LABELLESS RELATIONSHIP WITH
THIS WHITE WOMAN WHO A YEAR IN WAS LIKE, "I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. YOU MEAN THE WORLD TO ME
YOU WANT TO BE MY SQUIRREL FRIEND." SHE SAID SQUIRREL FRIENDS
BECAUSE GIRLFRIEND WAS TOO SCARY. INSTEAD OF BEING LIKE, "WE'RE
DONE." I WENT LIKE -- [ LAUGHTER ]
SO, YEAH, I DON'T HAVE ALWAYS A TON OF GAY PRIDE, OKAY I REALIZED A YEAR AND A HALF
AGO THAT I WAS TRANS, AND I WAS LIKE, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN SOME PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TO BE GAY AT
ALL, AND I HAVE TO BE GAY TWICE? [ LAUGHTER ]
I HAVE TO COME OUT TO MY NERVOUS, IMMIGRANT PARENTS AGAIN.
I WAS LIKE, "HEY, DAD, I'M TRANS. AND MY DAD WENT, "WELL, I'M
DRIVING! [ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE AND HONESTLY, I ALWAYS
SUSPECTED HE MIGHT BE A DRIVER AT SOME POINT I WAS LIKE, "SO, YOU KNOW, I'M THINKING ABOUT
GOING ON T, TAKING THE TESTOSTERONE MY DAD WAS LIKE, "OKAY, YOU
DON'T LIKE YOUR BODY YOU THINK I LIKE MY FACE YOU THINK I LIKE MY SKIN, MY
EYES." HE KEPT GOING. I HAD TO PAUSE COMING OUT TO BE
LIKE, "NO, DAD, DON'T BE SAD YOU'RE SO SEXY." [ LAUGHTER ]
SO, YEAH, I LIKE, REALLY NEED A WIN. I REALLY NEED ONE.
I'M IN THE MOST HUMILIATING RIVALRY. WHEN I WAS IN COLLEGE, I TOOK
A CUTE LITTLE STORY TELLING CLASS. AND ONE DAY WE WENT TO A MOB
STORY SLAM, AND I WENT UP AND DID TERRIBLE AND THEN THIS GIRL FROM MY
CLASS WENT UP, WON THE WHOLE THING. AND EVERYONE WAS LIKE, "OH, MY
GOD, SHE'S GOING TO BE FAMOUS. SHE'S SUCH A GOOD PERFORMER. AND I LITERALLY SAID, "I'M THE

SELLER IF SHE BECOMES A STAFF WRITER ON "BIG MOUTH," I WILL DIE
[ LAUGHTER ] DID YOU KNOW THAT SHE'S RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT IN 2036?
I'M GOING TO HAVE TO VOTE FOR HER. [ LAUGHTER ]
AND I THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, IN COLLEGE, MAYBE SHE WAS A LITTLE OVERCONFIDENT BECAUSE SHE WOULD
LITERALLY SAY, "YOU KNOW, ONE DAY I MIGHT BE THE FIRST BLACK WOMAN PRESIDENT.

JACK BLACK." [ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE I'M SABRINA WU
