0s [SPEAKER_02]
I have a lot of grandmothers come to my shows, and they love me.

4s I do really good with grandmothers.

6s I don't think there's much being made that they could go to.

10s [SPEAKER_03]
Certainly not stand-up comedy.

11s [SPEAKER_02]
No, no, no.

13s That's the goal.

14s I'm trying to be only grandmothers.

16s Shows are at eight thirty AM.

18s That's the late show.

21s [SPEAKER_03]
, usually when a stand-up comedian catches fire, it's because they're seen as dangerous.

26s They're saying the things others don't have the nerve to say about subjects others don't want to talk about in language others would never use.

33s I'm thinking of stars like Richard Pryor.

35s [SPEAKER_01]
You know, because you live around white people in the country, anything can happen.

39s Not that I don't trust white people, it's just that in the night, you know what I mean?

43s [SPEAKER_00]
I can't believe I have the honor of being the final host before the midterm abortion elections.

51s [SPEAKER_03]
I respect everybody's beliefs except Amish people.

55s I mean, I started comedy, some comics would be like, well, I'm not for everybody.

63s [SPEAKER_02]
And I was like, well, why would you not want to be for everybody?

66s [SPEAKER_03]
He's low key and clean and his comedy traffics in highly relatable stories about the foibles of family life, his confusion with modern living, and his own lack of smarts.

75s [SPEAKER_02]
I looked up like the most popular books.

76s It was like Christina Agathy.

78s Is that her name?

79s It's like an author.

82s Agatha Christie.

83s Yeah.

84s Agatha Christie.

85s So I was backwards.

86s [SPEAKER_03]
Wait, that wasn't just a bit Christina Agathy?

89s No, I thought that's what it was.

90s It's an approach that's working.

92s He had the highest grossing comedy tour of twenty twenty four.

95s He's also found a new audience by hosting Saturday Night Live.

98s look, if you're at home, I'm as shocked as you are that I'm here.

101s And now he's branching out to a new area with his upcoming book titled Big Dumb Eyes, Stories from a Simpler Mind.

108s That kind of self-deprecation is a trademark of his.

110s [SPEAKER_02]
In high school, I got pushed into a wall head first, and it took him three class periods to figure out I had a concussion.

117s That's how much I was bringing to the table.

119s [SPEAKER_03]
But as I learned, it's actually masking some surprisingly bold ambition.
