Speaker 3:
[01:00] To accusations he's putting America's health at risk.

Speaker 6:
[01:04] I think you're dangerous to the American public and you ought to be fired.

Speaker 3:
[01:09] Did he make the case for the Maha movement or put his position in critical condition? Then, Kate Hudson and Justin Theroux talk about getting back in the game for the new season of Running Point. And comedian Nikki Glaser on the pros and cons of being a good girl in her latest stand up special.

Speaker 7:
[01:29] My career is going great now, but I know eventually Hollywood is going to kick me out because I'm going to do something horrible, like age naturally.

Speaker 3:
[01:38] Here come hot topics with Whoopi, Sara Haines, Joy Behar, Ana Navarro, Sunny Hostin and Alyssa Farah Griffin. Now let's get things started.

Speaker 8:
[02:29] All right, y'all. Have a seat, there's, thank you, y'all. We love you too, but there's a lot of stuff we have to talk about today.

Speaker 9:
[02:37] My name is not Whoopi. I said we love you, Whoopi.

Speaker 8:
[02:41] You know, I answer to everything. It's just easier that way. But how about this? Health Secretary RFK Jr. was in the hot seat on the Hill once again yesterday. He remained defiant as the Senate Finance Committee took him to task for his controversial moves on the job. Take a look.

Speaker 10:
[03:01] What steps is HHS taking to address the outbreaks that may arise from the World Cup?

Speaker 5:
[03:07] We've done better at controlling the measles outbreak than any country in the world.

Speaker 10:
[03:11] You are pointing out that other countries have outbreaks, which increases the likelihood they will bring that here. And our immunization rates have fallen below 95%.

Speaker 11:
[03:20] Does the president know there is a historic measles surge occurring nationwide?

Speaker 5:
[03:25] Do you want me to answer the question?

Speaker 11:
[03:27] It's just a very simple question.

Speaker 5:
[03:30] I do not believe that every black good should be reparented on a wellness farm.

Speaker 11:
[03:36] You said it, sir. I have the video here.

Speaker 5:
[03:38] If I said it, I apologize.

Speaker 6:
[03:40] We expect you to keep Americans alive, yet you're cutting the coverage of infectious disease. Personally, sir, even as you seem distracted while I talk to you about deadly diseases, I think you're dangerous to the American public and you ought to be fired.

Speaker 8:
[03:59] I mean, if doctors on the Senate committee are saying he's doing a really bad job, I mean, who's going to take this seriously? I mean, he had, you know, there's a report showing that COVID vaccine reduced emergency visits and hospitalizations about half for healthy adults. It's been blocked by the CDC. I don't understand if you have an argument by him, by his committee, they are blocking it. There is a, I mean, if you have a position and you say, I believe this, and here's why, and somebody says, well, here's what I believe, you balance and you let the people decide what they feel.

Speaker 12:
[04:41] Yeah, they should publish that report.

Speaker 8:
[04:43] You cannot suppress information.

Speaker 12:
[04:45] Yeah.

Speaker 8:
[04:46] You cannot continue to do that. And he blames vaccinations for his stuff and his voice.

Speaker 13:
[04:58] His vocal voice.

Speaker 8:
[04:59] Yeah, it's very hard. It's very hard to understand. God, I'm sorry.

Speaker 14:
[05:02] Well, this is all deadly serious, but I do want to play my favorite clip from this hearing yesterday.

Speaker 8:
[05:07] Yes.

Speaker 5:
[05:07] AI is going to revolutionize medicine. And it may at some day, at some point, make FDA even irrelevant. And it's going to give us the capacity to develop new drugs, personalized medicine for every citizen. You know, I just was reading about a dog that had cancer, and his owner used AI to develop a personalized treatment to cure the cancer.

Speaker 14:
[05:37] So listen, as a dog owner, I'm taking nothing off the table to cure my dog's illness if he gets sick. But this is our expert. This is our expert, somebody who does not have a medical degree, who does not have a background in science. And right now, so mRNA vaccines, which is how we got the COVID vaccine, the mRNA research has found this massive breakthrough that could help cure pancreatic cancer. Yeah. One of the most deadly, fast moving cancers. Someone very close to me, we lost a pancreatic cancer. Someone else close to me has it right now. And Health and Human Services under RFK canceled $500 million in funding for mRNA vaccine research. That has real life consequences. Everyday experts who spent their lives dedicated to science, to research, and to medicine are working to save lives. In these cuts to grants, that is not getting nearly enough attention. And we're gonna feel the consequences for decades to come.

Speaker 8:
[06:27] Well, not all. I'm sorry. The kid that works for me, his mother has long-term COVID, and she cannot really go out and do her job. She works from home. You used to be able to go to the CDC and get information on where the trials were.

Speaker 12:
[06:42] Oh, that's right.

Speaker 8:
[06:42] They have cleared all that information out. They've taken all of that information away. People's health, people are dying. They don't have access to the information. And I'm sorry, there were two doctors sitting on this?

Speaker 14:
[06:56] Cassidy is a doctor, you know?

Speaker 12:
[06:58] Yeah.

Speaker 8:
[07:00] You let him on there. You did not say, this is not a good idea. I'm really mad at you too. I'm really mad at you.

Speaker 9:
[07:07] Sometimes I feel like they're trying to kill us.

Speaker 8:
[07:09] You think?

Speaker 9:
[07:10] Yeah. I mean, you've got, you know, Trump just vetoed anything that has to do with climate change that would alleviate the problem. And we can see it everywhere that the earth is in a lot of trouble. But here you've got a guy who's in charge of our health, here, who was a former heroin addict, a, he swam in sewage.

Speaker 14:
[07:31] That was recent.

Speaker 9:
[07:32] Who does that? And that snorted cocaine off of a toilet seat. This is who is in charge of your health, America.

Speaker 15:
[07:40] Well, and also-

Speaker 9:
[07:41] Do not put up with this. We're in a lot of trouble, don't we? Doesn't people see that?

Speaker 15:
[07:47] Well, the struggles are beyond science. It actually, he also struggles with math. Senator Elizabeth Warren pushed back on President Trump claiming that Trump Rx has reduced prices by 600% when some drugs are cheaper at places like Costco. So I want to play the clip.

Speaker 9:
[08:04] Yes.

Speaker 5:
[08:04] I would say this, Senator.

Speaker 9:
[08:06] Do you know what it costs for-

Speaker 5:
[08:08] President Trump has a different way of calculating. If there's two ways of calculating percentage, if you have a $600 drug and you reduce it to 10, that's a 600% reduction.

Speaker 11:
[08:18] You know I only have five minutes.

Speaker 15:
[08:22] So that's not actually how that works.

Speaker 9:
[08:26] Say that again.

Speaker 15:
[08:26] Well, you can't reduce something by more than 100% or you're paying people to take that.

Speaker 12:
[08:34] Because if you reduce something by 100%, you reduce it to zero.

Speaker 14:
[08:37] Yep, and take it negative.

Speaker 15:
[08:39] So this is 98.3% reduction. So we're struggling in a lot of areas. And he also had struggles with the math that comes along when he touted his $50 billion investment in the Rural Health Transformation Fund. But that doesn't make up for the $137 billion that rural areas are expected to lose. That, Mr. RFK. Jr., is a deficit that we're gonna beat without money for the people that need it the most.

Speaker 8:
[09:05] Get out of this job. Would you not qualify?

Speaker 9:
[09:10] That's basically-

Speaker 12:
[09:12] Everyone has said everything that I was gonna say, but I think Senator Warnock said it the best. He is a menace to Americans. He's a menace to American health. He's deeply, deeply unqualified. And I too, Whoopi, am so upset that Senator Cassidy, who is a physician, at first said that he would never vote for his confirmation and then somehow changed his mind.

Speaker 9:
[09:38] What changes them?

Speaker 12:
[09:39] Power.

Speaker 14:
[09:40] He lied to it. He effectively lied.

Speaker 15:
[09:42] He said he wasn't going to mess with the vaccination schedule.

Speaker 12:
[09:45] And he did. And now he's in a position that he's so deeply unqualified for. And now Senator Cassidy is questioning him. But to what avail? I think we're actually stuck with this guy.

Speaker 8:
[09:57] No, no. No, no. Listen, they're getting rid of people left and right. Get rid of some of the men now. You got rid of all the women. Get rid of some of the men.

Speaker 14:
[10:05] Very quickly though, this week, the administration appointed a highly qualified director of the CDC. I was a little bit surprised.

Speaker 12:
[10:13] Dr. Erica Schwartz, and I wonder if she's gonna last.

Speaker 14:
[10:15] Let's confirm somebody who's credentialed and ready to do the job.

Speaker 12:
[10:17] She's actually a doctor.

Speaker 8:
[10:19] You know, wouldn't that be something? Somebody who actually knew the job.

Speaker 9:
[10:23] How about a president like that?

Speaker 8:
[10:24] What a concept. We'll be right back. Highly anticipated Michael Jackson biopic opens tomorrow, but it's already generating controversy. The movie had to edit out scenes that eluded to his child molestation scandal because of a past settlement with the accuser. But Coleman Domingo, who stars as Michael's dad, Joe Jackson, says it doesn't take away from the movie. Take a look.

Speaker 16:
[10:59] The film does stop in 1988. Several years before the first child molestation allegations were made, and we live in an environment now where we take survivors of sexual abuse, we take their stories very seriously. How do you reconcile your performance with that?

Speaker 17:
[11:16] I think the film takes place from the 60s to 1988. So it does not go into the first allegations in like 2005. So basically we center it on the makings of Michael. So it's an intimate portrait of who Michael is.

Speaker 8:
[11:33] So, I don't know, are you planning to see it? I mean, it says, you know, do you think, will people think it's a glaring omission? Not if they know that it's not a documentary and it's also covering their beginnings.

Speaker 12:
[11:50] Well, I think what is important to know about the film is that the director Antoine Fuqua did in his first draft, did in his first draft include the molestation allegations, the trial, which he was found not guilty of, and some of the accusers that came out after his death. But because of this legal settlement with one of the accusers, he had to cut those parts and reshot $15 million worth of film to take that part out. So the intention wasn't to hide it, the intention was to address it, but they legally couldn't do it. So when you put that context in, which is what people need to know, I think you can see the movie and understand that they aren't trying to whitewash history or try to erase history.

Speaker 9:
[12:41] What about the Melania movie?

Speaker 12:
[12:43] Oh, well I haven't seen that one.

Speaker 14:
[12:46] No, but that's really important context, and even by the way, anything Coleman Domingo does, I've just attempted to see.

Speaker 12:
[12:51] It is important context.

Speaker 14:
[12:52] Because I struggled with that with the Broadway show too, which is excellent, and if you love Michael Jackson's music, like he's unrivaled as a pop icon, you wanna enjoy those songs, and I wrestle with it because I believe the allegations, I believe the people who came forward, but I think the fact that it's stopping before that, you're talking about what made him him, the impact he had on culture, I think that works, it would bother me far more if it came up to modern times and just pretended that didn't happen.

Speaker 15:
[13:18] I think people seek like moral absolutes in life and it's very hard to reconcile that this man was a genius, possibly a prodigy, but also there were serious sexual allegations that I watched Leaving Neverland and everyone has to come to terms with their own feelings on that because he wasn't convicted in court. I believe both things can exist and I don't think there was a way, aside from the legal parts that the director speaks of, you almost have to separate those by ending before the allegations began. You allow us to look into what made Michael Michael because there was a lot of abuse in that. And so I think it's better to look a little closer. It's not glorifying, it's showing this phenomenal story of a once in a generation talent that is of interest to see. That was the artistry, that was the genius. I think when you try, even if they had shot it later, it would have grown very complicated to try to tell that in a scripted story.

Speaker 12:
[14:17] That was actress Nia Long, who plays Catherine Jackson. She sort of intimated that there may be a sequel and that that sequel may be able to address that part of his life. And so I think people can see this movie and feel comfortable knowing that it's not being watched.

Speaker 9:
[14:34] Wagner was a Nazi, they still listen to his music.

Speaker 14:
[14:37] On that historic note.

Speaker 8:
[14:39] Well, I mean, you know, listen, none of us is perfect. None of us is perfect and we all have to, I don't know that in a biography of me, but I want all my stuff put out there. And that's what you're going to have to decide. You're what your family has to decide. But they've addressed it. You'll make a decision on your own. If you want to see it, see it. If you don't, don't. And we're moving on. We'll be right back.

Speaker 20:
[16:39] They say everything happens for a reason, but I suspect everything happens for a reasons. Like this commercial break. Did you need 15 seconds away from music or 15 seconds to eat a Reese's? Perhaps it's true. Everything happens for a Reese's.

Speaker 8:
[16:57] So Joy, I know you're really excited about this story. New England Patriots coach Mike Verbal, Verbal, announced he's taking indefinite leave from football. After photos of him emerged at an Arizona hotel with NFL reporter, Deanna Racini. Racini. Here's what he said about it yesterday. Listen up, Joy.

Speaker 21:
[17:23] I've had some difficult conversations with people that I care about, with my family, the organization, the coaches, the players. Those have been positive and productive. We believe in order to be successful on and off the field, you have to make good decisions. That includes me. That starts with me. What I can promise you is that my family, this organization, the team, the staff, the coaches, everybody, our fans, most importantly, will get the best version of me going forward.

Speaker 8:
[17:53] So both Verbal and Racini's denies allegations of an inappropriate relationship. But she's also resigning from the Atlantic. Racini has denied any wrongdoing and has stood by her reporting throughout her career. I'm not sure really what's going on. Maybe you can explain.

Speaker 9:
[18:12] What if she's denying it that nothing happened, saying that anything happened, then why did she resign?

Speaker 14:
[18:16] Well, my husband's a Die Hard Patriots fan. He's very upset over this. I also love Mike Raible. He's like a coach, a player's coach. He played for the Patriots now, he's coaching them. I don't think he needs to resign. I think he needs to apologize to his wife. He needs to buy her a ring bigger than a Super Bowl ring that he did not win at the last Super Bowl. But you can still coach football. Like it's not, it'd be like an accountant resigning for having an affair with like a tax attorney. It doesn't really apply to the job you do.

Speaker 9:
[18:42] In my opinion, she is in the power position. She's the journalist. He's the subject of the piece. So she's more, and in a way, she's more guilty than he is.

Speaker 14:
[18:49] It's unethical.

Speaker 12:
[18:51] It's unethical especially because she has been one of the 50 voters for the Associated Press NFL Awards since 2022. So if you are having an inappropriate relationship, not only with someone that you report on, not only the coach of the team that you report on, they are denying it. If, that's why I said if.

Speaker 9:
[19:08] Yeah, but he's going to therapy.

Speaker 12:
[19:09] And also if you get to nominate and if you get to vote on whether or not he's like the best coach at the NFL, that is journalistic, you know, that's a problem.

Speaker 15:
[19:19] Well, and beyond that, regardless of their marriages or infidelities, the part here is that this is a female sports reporter. Women have worked really hard to bust into these rooms and these doors and to make it about their work. So the problem here is that when you take a step back and you were carrying that much responsibility, everyone takes a hit.

Speaker 14:
[19:41] It gives all female journalists a bad name and it plays into a trope that's not fair.

Speaker 8:
[19:46] Okay. We'll be right back. Welcome back on the new season of the Netflix series Running Point. Kate Hudson is calling the pro basketball team owned by her family, Justin Theroux, co-stars as her brother, who's back in town and looking to get back in the family business. Siblings, take a look.

Speaker 22:
[20:23] You're really not gunning for your old job back?

Speaker 23:
[20:25] Oh my God, no. Besides, you're doing such a great job. And the board would never even approve me at this point. Not with my rap sheet. Oh, sorry. Old habits die hard.

Speaker 22:
[20:36] And you're okay working under me?

Speaker 23:
[20:38] Yes. Look, I'm a different person now. I listen. Lizzie told me something about the kids the other day and I heard it. I really heard it. Apparently we got a bedwetter.

Speaker 8:
[20:47] Please welcome Kate Hudson and Justin Theroux.

Speaker 22:
[21:14] It's so good to see everybody.

Speaker 15:
[21:15] So before we get into this whole show, the last time you were here, you were here for Song Song Blue, and we all, the whole audience sang with you. We were cheering you on. That role earned you your second Oscar nomination. Oh, here you are. You look stunning. You brought your mom as your date. So can you tell us how special was that entire evening experience all the way?

Speaker 22:
[21:39] The whole, from being here and everything that happened after, you know, the whole experience was great. And everybody was really excited, and it was a very celebratory time.

Speaker 15:
[21:50] Well, how come you picked your mom by the way?

Speaker 22:
[21:51] I'm still buzzing off. No, it was great. Mom, he was so excited, and my dad was there too, and my son got to come, Ryar was there. So it was a real like family affair at the Oscars, but to walk the carpet with my mom was amazing.

Speaker 12:
[22:07] Yes. I love that. Thank you. Now Justin, at the Oscars, there was that incredible surprise, Devil Wears Parada moment.

Speaker 24:
[22:17] Yes, with Anna Wintour.

Speaker 12:
[22:18] Anna Wintour and Pathway. And then the premiere of Devil Wears Parada was just this week, and you joined the cast. I don't know if you remember. Now, you are playing Emily Blunt's love interest.

Speaker 10:
[22:35] So lucky.

Speaker 12:
[22:36] The character has been described as rich and stupid.

Speaker 10:
[22:40] That's correct.

Speaker 12:
[22:41] Yes.

Speaker 23:
[22:41] He's a dummy.

Speaker 10:
[22:42] Yeah, he's rich, stupid.

Speaker 23:
[22:43] He's sort of a tech billionaire, obsequious, horrible, wants to get into media kind of guy. We can't think of anyone like that.

Speaker 12:
[22:53] Did you take inspiration from anyone?

Speaker 23:
[22:55] It's a whole smattering of people, about five of them that I can think of. Yeah, so he's sort of an amalgam of people that we've seen in the news.

Speaker 12:
[23:04] So how was it just joining such an iconic phenomenon?

Speaker 23:
[23:08] It was fantastic. You know, I mean, it was Emily I've worked with before. So she and she's one of the most hilarious women. She should only do exclusively comedies. She's very, very funny. Not the dramatic work. She's good too. But yeah, it was exactly what you would expect. And it was that call where it's like, you want to go to Italy?

Speaker 22:
[23:27] Well, we were on set, remember, and you had to do something with Meryl. Do you remember this?

Speaker 23:
[23:32] What did I do?

Speaker 22:
[23:32] You left. Do I get something?

Speaker 23:
[23:34] That's right.

Speaker 22:
[23:35] And you had a whole thing and cause you had-

Speaker 23:
[23:36] I have this like sort of pivotal scene with Meryl.

Speaker 22:
[23:39] Right. And we were all giving you a-

Speaker 23:
[23:43] I know, pointers.

Speaker 11:
[23:44] Uh-huh, trying to help you out.

Speaker 23:
[23:47] It's that thing of, she's an icon, she's whatever, but then you get to work and she's just like every other actor who does incredible work, they get in, they were like-

Speaker 15:
[23:56] Sorry, I'm just saying you two will be-

Speaker 1:
[23:57] Why are we all hitting each other?

Speaker 23:
[23:59] That's right. I know.

Speaker 15:
[24:00] We get it.

Speaker 6:
[24:01] Just a normal person.

Speaker 15:
[24:02] Okay, now we have to talk about something that is so exciting, Running Point Season 2. Now this is a show you turn on and you will turn off at the end when it shuts itself down. Yeah. Because it is so bingeable. This is, I mean, I couldn't stop watching it, but you guys play siblings. I love the dysfunction of your family. It's super relatable. And as we saw from that clip earlier, you're back in the picture and you're probably gonna torment your sister as you always have. Sabotage Kate's character, every chance you get. Now you called Cam too confident for his intelligence level. And anyone that watches it is like, yeah, that's exactly right. But do you all do you think we all have cams in our life? And do you guys have so much fun shooting?

Speaker 23:
[24:44] Oh, I think if I go first, if I can speak more. Yeah, the thing that really makes the show work is that we really have kind of a sibling type relationship, you know, with Drew Tarver and Scott and everybody. Like it really we kind of, you know, very quickly play hard with each other. It's very tackle football in terms of the jokes.

Speaker 22:
[25:05] I mean, thank God.

Speaker 1:
[25:06] She was also raised as brothers.

Speaker 22:
[25:07] Yes, because I would, these guys go hard at me and it's very enjoyable. I laugh all day long. Well, we kind of are in competition of who can make who laughs.

Speaker 23:
[25:19] Yes, the hardest.

Speaker 22:
[25:20] The hardest.

Speaker 15:
[25:21] Who does? Is there a clear winner there?

Speaker 23:
[25:24] Kate's pretty good because you'll think you've really like tacked her to the ground and then she'll come back with a jab or a hook and then you're like, and then you laugh at her. But she's also the best audience. Like she's a very good laugher.

Speaker 22:
[25:35] I love it. I could listen to the guys all day long. But I would say Justin, because when he rolls in, it's like everybody's ready. Like all the, you know, you got it.

Speaker 23:
[25:45] Yeah, it's fun. We have a really good laugh.

Speaker 12:
[25:47] Your new brother, Jackie, is pretty funny too.

Speaker 23:
[25:49] Hilarious. He's such a great addition to the family.

Speaker 12:
[25:52] He is freaking hilarious.

Speaker 23:
[25:53] My character hates him, which is the best.

Speaker 22:
[25:55] But to answer your question, I think maybe everybody has a camera. Hopefully they don't. Yeah, hopefully not every sibling dynamic has a cam. Because you're kind of-

Speaker 23:
[26:05] I think everyone does have a cam. I mean, it's like, it's that guy who fails upward and is infuriating. He's in the show. He's a drug addict.

Speaker 15:
[26:13] We're not all related to them, but we definitely know a cam.

Speaker 23:
[26:16] Everyone knows one of them.

Speaker 24:
[26:17] Yes, we all know a cam.

Speaker 14:
[26:18] We all know a cam.

Speaker 22:
[26:18] Failing upwards.

Speaker 8:
[26:19] Some of us are cams.

Speaker 16:
[26:20] Yes, exactly.

Speaker 14:
[26:21] But we don't know if we are.

Speaker 8:
[26:22] That's right.

Speaker 14:
[26:23] But Kay, you made Time Magazine's annual list of the 100 best names. So what's wonderful about it is Mindy Kaling wrote your profile, who obviously co-created, wrote, and executive produced as Running Point. And she tells this story in it, that you guys are at an Oscar party and apparently everyone's ignoring you guys and you become friends through that. Who would ignore Kate Hudson and Mindy Kaling at an Oscar party? I don't know.

Speaker 22:
[26:48] No, so an actor, a male actor, movie star.

Speaker 14:
[26:52] Who?

Speaker 22:
[26:53] Cut the line. No, I'm not. No, we won't. We can't do that. But we bonded over how wild it was that he actually like cut in front of two women.

Speaker 14:
[27:05] Yeah.

Speaker 22:
[27:05] That were standing there for a really long time.

Speaker 14:
[27:08] Incredible.

Speaker 8:
[27:10] All you have to do is name somebody.

Speaker 22:
[27:11] It's Wally Shaw.

Speaker 8:
[27:12] Yeah, the list is very long.

Speaker 14:
[27:14] Thank you.

Speaker 17:
[27:14] Someone got my Wally Shaw on here.

Speaker 22:
[27:16] I was like, wow. And Mindy's like, that's really interesting. And then we bonded. But like, I'm so grateful for that man because here we are.

Speaker 14:
[27:26] What did it mean to you to be included on the list? That's so cool.

Speaker 22:
[27:28] Oh, it was really cool. It's really cool. You know, and exciting and I'm kind of like, you know, my imposter syndrome starts to go. You're like, why am I influential?

Speaker 8:
[27:43] It's too late. It's way too late for all of that.

Speaker 22:
[27:46] But I'm excited and my son's gonna come with me tonight and we're celebrating. So, what is it?

Speaker 15:
[27:54] What is it?

Speaker 8:
[27:56] So to you.

Speaker 15:
[27:57] Oh, do we have to? Real quickly, we want to congratulate Justin. He has a baby. Did you name your baby Justin? Cause we have a Justin.

Speaker 14:
[28:04] She's doing the baby Justin.

Speaker 23:
[28:05] It's a great name.

Speaker 12:
[28:06] It is a great name.

Speaker 14:
[28:08] Not after you, but also we will give homage.

Speaker 12:
[28:13] You can marry to a Justin.

Speaker 14:
[28:14] It is the absolute best.

Speaker 8:
[29:57] Welcome back from her two standout hosting gigs at the Golden Globes to her legendary roast of Tom Brady, Nikki Glaser's star continues to rise. Now she's bringing her comedy chops to a new standard special, Good Girl, where she admits there's a facelift in her future perhaps and pays tribute to the pioneers who paved the way for her. Take a look.

Speaker 7:
[30:21] Shout out to the ladies of the 80s and 90s who underwent cosmetic procedures and sacrificed your faces so that we could have amazing snatched jaw lines. Thank you so much for your service. Thank you. When I see a woman with just like a very obvious, like she just walked into a haunted house kind of face, I'm like, thank you, honey. I feel like you should board planes before veterans. I truly, you sacrificed so much.

Speaker 8:
[30:54] Please welcome Niggi Glazer.

Speaker 19:
[31:15] Oh my god, thank you.

Speaker 7:
[31:17] It's so good to be here.

Speaker 14:
[31:19] I'm like, yes, yes. We were just talking about how Kate Hudson made the Time 100 most influentialist, but so did you, and you're a cover star. Second year in a row that you were included. But what's amazing, Chris Rock, the iconic, legendary Chris Rock, wrote your tribute, and he compares you to the talents of Madonna and Leonardo DiCaprio, and says he loves that you have the decency to be scared. How did it feel to hear that you have such an icon of comedy write your tribute?

Speaker 7:
[31:46] Terrifying, honestly, because I have the decency to be scared, and I'm scared by that. No, I mean, it was so surreal. I still, even hearing that back, I'm like, I think I blacked out when I read it, so I don't even remember that, because it was, you know, Kate was talking about it, too, of just having imposter syndrome, and I think everyone, we all kind of suffer with that at times, and it's something that has just followed me through my whole career. But then there's those moments where you're like, well, this person's opinion of me kind of breaks through that, and I can't really feel like I've tricked anyone if Chris Rock is approving of me. So it was one of those moments where I'm like, maybe I didn't trick anyone, maybe I do have something.

Speaker 8:
[32:21] Maybe you earned it.

Speaker 7:
[32:22] Yeah, maybe I earned it.

Speaker 13:
[32:23] It's, I can't get over it.

Speaker 8:
[32:25] It meant so much to me. Yeah.

Speaker 12:
[32:28] You've earned it, my friend. You've earned it.

Speaker 7:
[32:29] Thank you.

Speaker 12:
[32:30] Now you've been a working comic for the last 22 years. You're not some overnight success.

Speaker 7:
[32:36] Started as a child.

Speaker 12:
[32:37] In the womb. But you did truly hit superstardom in your 40s.

Speaker 7:
[32:41] Yeah.

Speaker 12:
[32:42] And we were talking last week about the moment someone realizes, wow, I've made it.

Speaker 7:
[32:46] Yeah.

Speaker 12:
[32:47] What was that moment for you? Or has that moment happened to you?

Speaker 7:
[32:51] You know, I would say that it's, I've never really let it in. Cause I think that's what drives me is wanting to make it. And once I feel like I've made it, maybe I'll stop trying. There's a part of me that feels that way. But I think it's like moments like where you call a restaurant and you say, can I get a table tonight? And they go, we're completely full. And you go, okay, I'll have one for tomorrow. It's Nikki Glaser. And they go, we can make room for you tonight. It's so cool for you, like, am I someone? Little things like that. But there's been so many times in my life where I got The Tonight Show when I was 24 and I thought, my gosh, I made it, The Tonight Show. And then two months later, I was moving back in with my parents because I was broke. So you get your first TV show and then it gets canceled. So there's always these moments where it's like, I feel like I made it. And then you get humbled pretty quickly.

Speaker 8:
[33:32] Because it's a series of making it.

Speaker 7:
[33:34] It is.

Speaker 8:
[33:34] It's a series of making it. You make it and then you're doing what you're supposed to do. And it's different than you thought it was going to be. You make it again and you're always moving forward. That's why it moves you forward. Because you think, oh yeah, that's my goal over there right now. And you get it and you go, okay, I did that. Ooh, I like this goal too.

Speaker 7:
[33:54] The goalpost move. Yes, the goalpost move. I got time 102 years in a row and I'm like, next year I'm already picturing not getting it and feeling like I failed in something. But it's not that. But that's what motivates artists, I think, is to feel less than and always to feel like, when am I going to make it?

Speaker 15:
[34:10] You have this brand new special, which I ugly left to last night called Good Girl.

Speaker 7:
[34:14] Thank you.

Speaker 15:
[34:15] But we understand that releasing it brings up a lot of feelings for you and you say, stand-up comedy is a lot like sex, so explain that.

Speaker 7:
[34:25] I do it once a week at most if I have to. My heart's not in it sometimes. No, it's something I loved when I was younger, but now it's all a chore. I feel, the way I feel, when I said that, I really meant that I just feel vulnerable. I feel like when I'm on stage, something comes out of me that doesn't come out anywhere else. I can say things in the microphone. I mean, Whoopi, you get it. You can just say things that you wouldn't say to your closest friends sometimes. I can't explain it, but I'm making weird faces, I'm making weird sounds. Then suddenly have this thing that you've been doing at live shows where it's just one night only, no one's recording it, suddenly be out for the world to see. You're like, no, what did I do? And having feedback on that. And compared to having sex, because when I get off stage, I don't want anyone to be like, that thing you did up there was so funny. You don't want to talk about what you did in there. You're like, I'm so embarrassed by how I behave. So it's a little bit vulnerable in that way. But I also think that that's what I love about it, is that I like, I think that's what people are attracted to me as a person up on stage, is that I'm saying things that are so shameful and kind of humiliating. So enjoy it.

Speaker 8:
[35:34] And also you're flying when you get on stage. Don't you fly?

Speaker 7:
[35:38] Yes, I'm just, I'm the best version of myself. I'm who I've always wanted to be. And then yeah, it's like my, I'll be wearing uncomfortable shoes and my feet won't even hurt. Like I am just, I feel like a star. And I also feel like, just myself. And I feel like, especially when you get bigger and you get your own fans and people are coming to see you who already know you and accept you, you just feel so at home. Like I really do feel like sometimes I'm up there and I'm like, and this just stays here guys. Like in front of the house, like you can't leave this room. And now it's coming out on Hulu. So we'll see, we'll see how it happens.

Speaker 15:
[36:07] Honesty is a huge part of your brand from your very early days to now. And you share intimate details about your sex life, much of which we cannot repeat here on this show. And your parents are sitting in the front row of the audience.

Speaker 7:
[36:22] Yes.

Speaker 15:
[36:23] In the special.

Speaker 7:
[36:24] They're in the special too.

Speaker 15:
[36:25] They're in the special, but they're also with us here today. Does that ever get uncomfortable or does it just roll off your backs?

Speaker 13:
[36:34] Oh, at first, it really, I had friends that go, sorry, man, really, it must be rough. But I've become a newer to it. And to see her success, I'm so proud. I can't believe it.

Speaker 7:
[36:48] They're like my best friends. It's one of these things in this business that I just feel every, I feel like they're the reason that I want to achieve. I'm just, I'm still that little girl that comes home from school, like I got an A on my test and this is this picture I colored and they put it on the, like Getting Time magazine. I'm just like, look what I did. Like their appreciation of it means so much to me. And I like just, they're coming to the Time 100 gala with me tonight. They're my guests. Like I just love having them around. And I think it's made you guys a little more open. And like they make jokes that they would, I didn't grow up in a house where we joked about sex.

Speaker 15:
[37:20] They make jokes about their sex life to you? Well, I'm like, it doesn't feel like you have the same experiences.

Speaker 12:
[37:26] I watched the special.

Speaker 15:
[37:28] I really can't look at your dad now.

Speaker 7:
[37:32] Well, it's a really funny moment when they're revealed. I waited till later in the show to reveal that they were there because otherwise the whole time you would have been like, Oh, I would have been your dad. Is your parents in there? It's a jump scare.

Speaker 8:
[37:43] Isn't it a great thing? Cause my mom used to come to all my shows. It's a great thing because I always felt like this is what I can give back to you. This is what you gave me the ability to go and do it. And here, here's what you did.

Speaker 7:
[37:57] I know, that's exactly it. They are completely, they exposed me to the coolest comedy. They have just made me the artist I am. And they've been so accepting and supporting my entire career. Even when it was something that was like, maybe like, what's she gonna do with this? You know, it was embarrassing. They never once said, consider something else. And they're reaping the benefits of it now. Like, they're gonna say, well, Ethan Hawke tonight.

Speaker 14:
[38:17] And Nikki, really quickly, you just wrapped a movie with an all-star podcast, including Kim Kardashian.

Speaker 7:
[38:22] Yeah, I just did my first movie.

Speaker 15:
[38:23] What was it like?

Speaker 7:
[38:25] I worked with Kim Kardashian. She is amazingly the best time ever. Eva Longoria directing Brenda Song and Fortune Feimster. But Kim is so funny because we would, any outdoor shot we would do, the paparazzi would swarm. And there was one time we were doing an outdoor shot and Kim wasn't there on this shot. And I saw the paparazzi up in this parking garage and I just go, Kim isn't here. And I just said it to make our crew laugh because, and I swear to God they all just packed up and left right away.

Speaker 9:
[38:48] Incredible.

Speaker 8:
[38:50] Listen, you are, as we say, every time you're here, we love watching you. We love watching everything you're doing. It's so good. You're just so good. Thanks to Nikki Glaser, our new special Good Girl premieres tomorrow on Hulu and Hulu on Disney Plus. And we'll be right back.

[39:52] K-Pop Demon Hunters, Saja Boys Breakfast Meal and Huntrix Meal have just dropped at McDonald's. They're calling this a battle for the fans. What do you say to that, Rumi?

Speaker 25:
[40:00] It's not a battle. So glad the Saja Boys could take breakfast and give our meal the rest of the day.

Speaker 20:
[40:06] It is an honor to share.

Speaker 18:
[40:07] No, it's our honor.
