00:00You've been around the block a couple of times at the Emmys.
00:02Oh, at the Emmys, or just in general, yes.
00:04I've done a few laps of the block and in the Emmys and elsewhere.
00:08I've watched you at after-parties with Statue in your hand.
00:12How many years? How many have you won?
00:14I know, I...
00:15You don't know.
00:16A lot. We've been very, very lucky.
00:18And also, the first time I came was with The Daily Show, as a writer for The Daily Show.
00:21So that was the most exciting.
00:23That was the first time you realized I'm somewhere I'm not supposed to be.
00:25It wasn't exciting afterwards?
00:26No, it is. I still feel like it's somewhere I'm not supposed to be.
00:30Do you have a little imposter syndrome?
00:31Yes, of course. I'm never really in L.A., so we're in New York.
00:34This is more glamour than it feels like I naturally fit into.
00:39There's some glamour in New York. I'm from New York originally.
00:42So there is glamour there, John.
00:43I do not mean for you to catch a stray there.
00:46I'm just saying, would you not agree that glamour is elevated here?
00:51It's a different...
00:52It's a different glamour.
00:54Agree to disagree.
00:56Yes.
00:58I feel like you'd feel attacked.
01:01I've lived in L.A. for 20 years, so I know glamour both sides of the pond.
01:07I would never say otherwise. Of the pond. Of the dry pond. Yes.
01:12The wheat. The fields of wheat is our pond.
01:16That's right. You can perform glamour in New York and L.A. effortlessly.
01:20I'm not the first person who said that about you, I'm sure.
01:22How about across the pond? What's glamour like there in the U.K.?
01:28Hey, hey, hey. That's...
01:31That's old lady chic that you're referring to there.
01:33I'm pretty sure Gen Z...
01:36Gen Z dresses a little bit like 80-year-old women, don't they?
01:40Is that not unfair?
01:43Is that... Yes. Yes, right?
01:45I would say the aesthetic of 80-year-old grandmas transfers well to 21-year-old Americans.
01:51Okay, you know what you need to do at the next award show?
01:54Fashion police.
01:57Yes. Yes. Absolutely.
01:59Hey, Gen Z. Is that an old lady or a Gen Zer? I can't tell.
02:04I am happy. I'm happy to do whatever the fashion police need.
02:09I'm here to serve.
02:15You got a nice tuxedo.
02:17Maybe a nice main course later.
02:20You deal with this all the time, huh?
02:22I take your order, Mark.
02:24All the time.
02:27He's not stopping. He's going to...
02:30I got to get a little serious.
02:31What do you think is going to happen in November?
02:34With the election?
02:35Yes. Not Thanksgiving.
02:39I don't know. It's going to be very, very close.
02:42And if Trump loses, he's not going to accept it,
02:46making the fact that it's going to be that close even more ridiculous.
02:51How does it...
02:54How do I say this?
02:55Obviously, you've had a lot to talk about with Trump when he was president.
02:59When he's running, do you lose a lot of material if he doesn't win?
03:04I don't lose any material that I'm not happy to throw overboard.
03:07No. He's been a gift to comedy thing.
03:10It's not a gift that any of us really wanted,
03:13and we are happy to return it for store credit down the line.
03:15Do you ever say, like, I just don't want to do another Trump show?
03:19Yes. Every week, every day, and internally, I'm doing it right now.
03:26Are you scared?
03:27No. Personally scared or scared?
03:30No. Yeah.
03:31In general? I mean, it's going to be bumpy, right?
03:33Because it's going to be close, and because you're dealing with someone
03:35who historically has not handled loss well,
03:39then yeah, I think if you're not concerned, you haven't been watching.
03:44So, yes, there is plenty to be concerned about.
03:46Scared? I don't know.
03:48You don't want to kind of give him that.
03:50But, yeah, concerned, there's plenty of space for that.
