  Speaker 1: Ah you go to sleep at night with jimmy fell
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: you hear 710 wor number one talk station in new
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: york uh 9 to 12 and then you wake up
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: with larry and me in the morning at six and
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: jimmy i thought there was a cardinal rule thou shout
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: not criticize your fellow comedians but dave chappelle on stage
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: madison square garden packed crowd saturday night in one of
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: his uh Riff said, you know, I don't know why
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I was feeling so good on the day that Charlie
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Kirk was assassinated. I know I'm not supposed to be right,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: but I was feeling so good.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: What say you, Jimmy Fallon? Well, as someone who knows Chappelle...
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: If he's feeling good, it's because of the weed.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: I don't want to confuse the guy.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: But he's not smoking a strand called Charlie.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: He's smoking purple haze. Quite aggressively, I might add. Listen,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: on that story, I got to tell you really quickly.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: I always disagree with people on the right who get mad.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Because the truth is, and I've said this a million
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: times when the left was trying to cancel comedians, comedy
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: is just comedy. You're supposed to treat it like a buffet.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: If you see an item you like, you throw it
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: on the tray. If you don't like the item, you
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: just keep on walking. Everybody gets their own tray. And
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: the reason I feel that way is obviously I don't
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: agree with a.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Word Chappelle said.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: But the minute you start trying to cancel comedians, you
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: become the thing we just campaigned against. You know, I
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: wrote a New York Times bestseller about this thing about
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: the left canceling people called Cancel Culture Dictionary. And if
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: you like reading at a third grade level, Curtis, you're
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: going to love this book.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: I'm still struggling with comic books. Come on. Come on.
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but everybody can make their own choice on Chappelle.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: You agree with that, right? Like, if I don't want
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: to listen to him anymore?
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think his comments are gross. I think there
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: is a problem with political violence on the left that
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: they're never made to own. So I really, I don't
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: mind that Republicans are getting mad and going after them
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: for that. But the fool's errand really is like the
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: comedy that's canceling the comedian never surges in like popularity,
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: specifically not with like younger voters.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: So it's kind of like, you know, you're rolling the dice.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: But as a consumer, yeah, you have every right not
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: to listen to this garbage because it is it's garbage.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: And he knows what he's doing, you know, and he's
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: kind of cheaply surfing off of that left wing, you know,
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: political fetish with violence. You know, the Luigi Mangione thing
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: where the women are writing letters to Luigi. And apparently
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: he writes back, according to my wife.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: I had no idea.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: Oh, now I get it. Now I get it. It
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: went right over my head, that one. Well, let's take
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: it up a notch with Comedians in Trouble. A guy
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: that not only got canceled, he's going to go to prison,
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: Russell Brand.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Do you know him? Have you run into him? I
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: have never met Russell Brand.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: You know, I was a cab driver when they were
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: having all those white parties at P.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Diddy's house. I dropped off more people than I partied with.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Unfortunately, they weren't the best tippers.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: They would give you just the tip. Good night, everybody.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: But anyway, stick with me here.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: Are there comics you worked with where you'd say to
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: other people, to other women comics or other women, you
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: want to stay away from him?
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: I mean, I personally didn't have the experience, but I
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: knew of, like, everyone knew the Louis C.K.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Story back in the day, okay? That was kind of
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: a known thing.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: There wasn't so much a thing for Russell Brand because
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: he wasn't doing, like, clubs in the city, meaning, like,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: he didn't come up with any of us. He just, like,
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: showed up in America as kind of a famous comedy
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: actor who was now in movies.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: And, you know, making the rounds online.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: But I absolutely, you can always tell around comics, like
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: two things for real, Larry, like every, there's a lot
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: of comics you meet in the beginning, right? That you
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: don't get too close to, cause you know, without a doubt,
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: they're going.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: To be in rehab in three years and they're not
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: going to be hanging out anyway. Yeah.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: So that's, and then that other cultural thing, like you said,
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: with Russell brand, I didn't see a lot of that,
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: but again, it doesn't mean it ain't out there because
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of dirt bags and showbiz, you know?
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Uh, now, uh, Since you have the top-rated entertainment show
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: on the Fox News Channel Saturday night, because it's not political.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: It's really entertainment. You spread it, sort of like Fluffanutter.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: You give everyone their props. Are you going to be
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: inviting the new star of the Fox News Channel? Free Diddy!
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Free Diddy now! The new face of MAGA, Anthony Constantino!
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Listen, I talked about him for the last five minutes
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: of my monologue Saturday night because Constantino reminds me of
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump if he switched from Diet Coke to Hunter
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Biden's Coke.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Oh, man. Let us enjoy that one for a second. Yeah,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: let us marinate that. Please, please. That was such a
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: great line. What a time. What a time to be alive. So,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: you know, very interesting.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: I don't know that he has a speechwriter, Anthony Constantino.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: But if he does, I assume it's Andrew Dice Clay.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: But it's very pugnacious. And I enjoyed it. Like, I
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: found it funny, you know.
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but the weird thing is it's going to make
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: him a celebrity. Just the fact that he seems like
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: a walking train wreck is going to get him probably
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: more attention than most people getting into office.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, 100 percent, because we do we live in this
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: world now. It's we're not going back. OK, social media
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: really is the defining force in politics now.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: It just is, unfortunately.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: And everybody now is a political influencer with a side
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: hustle in Congress. That is reality.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: That's what AOC is doing.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: The run.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: And it's unfortunate, but we're like a year removed from
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: politicians doing upside-down handstands and giving us their plank routines
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: in order to get nominated, meaning there's no mention of
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: policy or anything. At least Constantino talks policy in the
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: way that he does. So I give him that for
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: at least being substantive. I don't know that I'd have
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: any of those substances before I drove, but I'm just saying. Yeah.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: By the way, mentored by the star of a new
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: reality show, George Santos, who paved the way for the
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Anthony Constantinos of the world.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Listen i i love george santos i mean he's the
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: original swing voter you know when you think about it
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: because he was doing a little bit of everything he
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: told me that on my shell the boys the girls.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: How much can you talk about your feelings since he
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: used to work with him about what pete hegseth is
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: going through right now you.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: Know it's funny man like i'll give you everything i
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: got on that one um The thing I like about
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: what Pete has done at the Pentagon is they're breaking
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: recruiting records.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: So he is doing a great job of.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: Catering to the people who want to break stuff and
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: kill people, as Rush Limbaugh used to describe the military.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: But there's obviously this other bloodlust for him that started
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: long before he got into office, even during the confirmation hearings.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: So it's like I'm torn on this because I actually
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: like that he's growing the recruiting numbers in a way
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: that the previous administration wasn't.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Again, we were bringing in drag queens. We were getting
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: pronouns for generals. We don't need that. You know what
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: I mean?
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: We do need the guys that are going to save
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: Private Ryan, not the guys that are going to transition
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: Private Ryan.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: So we do. I like that.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: But on the other side of this thing, I honestly
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: don't know. I You know who the blame for Iran is?
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Because the president standing by it is like, if I
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: had it to do over, I'd do it again.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: And J.D. Vance is trying to distance himself.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: But the point is, if you're asking me, would I
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: be surprised to be back on a Fox and Friends
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: couch with Hegseth next week? No, I would not.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: It'll be nice to see him again.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: Well, Jimmy Fallon, you can listen to him tonight on
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: Fox Across America with Jimmy Fallon. He's also host of
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: Fox News Saturday Night with Jimmy Fallon. On the Fox
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: News channel. Thanks a lot, Jimmy.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Love you guys.
