[ cheers and applause ] President Trump on friday claimed that he turned down being named time magazines person of the year, after the magazine only told him he probably would be selected. Luckily, he has a 100 chance of being named person of the year by insane chubby golfer magazine. [ cheers and applause ] President Trump today hosted an event honoring native american code talkers, and during his speech alluded to senator elizabeth warren. Take a look. You were here long before any of us were here, although we have a representative in congress who they say was here a long time ago. They call her pocahontas, but you know what . I like you, because you are special. Seth this brings us to a new segment entitled, eight seconds of seth pinching the bridge of his nose. [ cheers and applause ] this has been eight seconds of the seth pinching the bridge of his nose. Seth one of president s one of President Trumps oldest friends recently told vanity fair that first lady, melania, 100 has the most control over President Trump, specifically the dosage. [ light laughter ] the Congressional Budget Office has found that the proposed Senate Republican tax bill would negatively impact people making less than 30,000 per year by 2019, and when Bernie Sanders heard this, he pulled his hair so hard it got fixed. [ light laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] on friday, Richard Cordray resigned as director of the federal governments top consumer watch dog agency, the Consumer FinancialProtection Bureau. He appointed his number two Leandra English as the new director, but instead President Trump tried to install his budget director, Mick Mulvaney to the position. So now nobody knows who the director is, and two people both showed up to work today to do the exact same job. Here to discuss the situation is one of my writers. [ cheers and applause ] im sorry. Seth im sorry, i thought i was im sorry, i thought i was seth i thought i was going to together i thought i was going to discuss the Consumer Financial protection im sorry. See, this is what happens when two people im just going to [ laughter ] i just the doddfrank reform [ laughter ] i just, i think its pretty incredible that the very problem we came out here to discuss has manifested itself in the situation in which we now find ourselves. Oh, my god, really . Cauliflower. Marimbas. I am a 37yearold jewish man. Aw screw it. Just let them both do it. [ cheers and applause ] seth the Consumer FinancialProtection Bureau players, everybody according to vanity fair, during their visit to the vatican in may, pope francis was very warm and kind to first lady melania trump, but not to others in the family. Though, as a rule, the pope is always kind to people who swing open the cathedral door and scream sanctuary. [ laughter ] [ applause ] the fbi received over 200 thousand requests for instant gun background checks on black friday setting a new record for the most ever in a single day. So whatever you do on christmas morning, dont shake your presents. [ light laughter ] the Miss Universe pageant was last night. Did you guys hear something said the contestants in the dressing room beforehand. [ cheers and applause ] and finally, researchers in england combined a Virtual Reality headset with a Computer Program called deep dream to build a machine that can generate drug free hallucinations, and surprise, they have been testing it for up to a year. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] ladies and gentlemen, we have a great show for you tonight. From nbcs law and order, hes one of our favorite, law and order svu icet is back on the show, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] he is the writer, and director of search party, a fantastic show on tbs, Michael Showalter is joining us tonight. [ cheers and applause ] and we have music from a fantastic Country MusicGroup Midland is here this evening, so youre here on a great night. [ cheers and applause ] and i apologize, i dont know if you can hear. I got a little bit of a cold over the thanksgiving holiday. Did everybody have a good thanksgiving . [ cheers and applause ] i didnt care, i just needed you to applaud while i drank my tea. Yeah, but my son had a cold, and its just one of those things, you cant get away with it. So if youre upset about the way my voice sounds, blame him, but know hes adorable. [ laughter ] alright, moving on everybody. President trump is now all in on backing the accused sexual predator running for senate in alabama. With the white house arguing that they need his vote to give corporations a giant tax cut. For more on this, its time for a closer look. [ cheers and applause ] seth no matter what else happens, donald trump will surely go down as our neediest, and most insecure president , with the possible exception of Millard Fillmore whose first state of the union speech started with do you guys think im fat. Yesterday, trump tried to claim once again that hes been the most productive president in history, tweeting since the first day i took office, all you hear is the phony democrat excuse for losing the election, russia, russia, russia. Despite this i have the economy booming, and have possibly done more than any 10 month president. He was right about one thing, the way Robert Mueller is handing down indictments, theres a good chance trump will be a 10month president. [ cheers and applause ] you know you know what trump tweets remind me of . You ever been out with a couple and the wife says something like, hey, dave, will you pass the salt, and then dave just goes off . And youre like, this must be something that started in the car, because this is not about salt. [ laughter ] but since trump is historically unpopular, and doesnt actually have any major accomplishments to back up that claim. Hes retorted to unhinged conspiracy websites to back him up. He retweeted a link to website, magabpill. Com, that calls itself the President Donald Trump accomplishment list website, although i dont know why you need a website for something that can be covered with an emoticon. [ cheers and applause ] so what else so what else does magapill. Com believe . Well, a recent post provided a list of conspiracy theories, including false flag terrorism, child human sacrifice, weaponized forced vaccination, earthquake machines, and organ harvesting. And im sorry but the only organ thats been harvested here is Donald Trumps brain. [ laughter ] maybe theres no pee tape, but i can definitely see donald trump waking up in a moscow hotel in a bathtub full of ice with a scar on his head saying, oh no. [ laughter ] i think my brain is gone. [ laughter ] now, if you were to glance at actual polls youd see that most americans dont agree with trumps boasts. In fact forget looking at polls. Trump just needs to look at his surroundings, as he made his way back to dc from florida yesterday, the reporters who travel with trump noted that he was followed by a growing number of protesters. Some of the signs spotted read, President Trump is fake news, go away and dont come back, and mr. Mueller is coming for your orange ass. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] and that sign in particular is great, because not only is it rude to trump, its also very polite to mueller, mr. Mueller is coming for your orange ass. The only thing that would piss off trump even more is an engraved invitation. Sir Robert Swan Mueller third esquire cordially requests the pleasure of your company, at an evening reception to go [ bleep ] yourself. Byo orange ass. [ cheers and applause ] so, trump was in florida over the weekend, and of course at this point we just take it for granted that trump who repeatedly bashed obama for golfing spent the weekend golfing. In fact on sunday trump hit the golf course for the fifth day in a row. Even the masters only last four days. Trump golfs more than people who play golf for a living. In fact on friday, when it was reported that trump was hitting the links with professional golfers tiger woods, and dustin johnson. He actually admitted it, but tried to claim it wouldnt take that long. After turkey calling, well be heading over to Trump National golf club jupiter to play golf quickly with tiger woods and dustin johnson, then back to maralago for talks on bringing even more jobs and Companies Back to the usa. You cant play golf quickly. Golf is the monopoly of sports. [ laughter ] and trump doesnt do anything quickly, hes an out of shape 71yearold who moves like hes climbing the empire state building. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] but as trump golfs, the rest of the country is continuing to grapple with the deluge of Sexual Harassment allegations that has rocked virtually every aspect of society. Everyone has had to deal with this problem, and that includes the leaders of both political parties. For example, yesterday, House Democratic leader nancy pelosi was asked about michigan congressman john conyers who secretly settled Sexual Harassment allegations by a former employee, and her answer was shockingly tone deaf. You said theres now a zero tolerance. Yes. John conyers, what does that mean for him right now. In or out. Lets say we are strengthened by due process. Just because someone is accused, was it one accusation, is it two . I think there has to be. John conyers is an icon in our country. I believe he will why dont you i believe that he will but how is it that his may i finish my sentence. Sure, sure. Im sure that he will do the right thing. And is the right thing what . Resign . He will do the right thing in terms of what he knows about his situation. Seth no, hes in this position because he allegedly did the wrong thing, you cant say the guy who did that wrong thing will do the right thing, also it doesnt matter that hes an icon, if anything it makes it worse. Im an icon is like a sexual harassers catch phrase. Hey, i know you havent consented to any of this, but i am an icon. Meanwhile [ applause ] the president took to twitter to double down on his endorsement of the accused child molester running as his party Senate Nominee in alabama, roy moore. Trump attacked moores democratic opponent doug jones, a life long prosecutor who convicted the kkk members responsible for the Birmingham Church bombing that killed four little girls, tweeting, the last thing we need in alabama is the u. S. Senate is a schumerpelosi puppet. Im sorry, hes a puppet. Youre telling people to vote for a guy who looks like howdy doodys alcoholic brotherinlaw. [ light laughter ] [ applause ] yeah, give me a puppet vest, and a puppet hat. Now, as depressing as it is, it probably shouldnt be surprising that trump would stand by moore, given that trump himself has been accused by over a dozen women of Sexual Harassment and assault, and of course bragged about it on tape. In fact, trump is reportedly sympathetic to moore because he claims that he himself was wrongly accused, and now hes reportedly even telling people that the infamous access Hollywood Tape might not be real. Trump sees the calls for mr. Moore to step aside as a version of the response to the now infamous access Hollywood Tape, and that flood of groping accusations against him that followed soon after. Trump suggested to a senator earlier this year that the tape itself was not authentic, he has repeated that claim to an advisor more recently. Seth wait, youre claiming that that access Hollywood Tape was a fake . Are you insane . Oh, right. [ laughter ] first of all you admitted it was real, second, you know how i know its real . Because to get off the bus, you did this. [ laughter ] seth that is so dumb that no one would ever think to fake that. Oh, i know, lets make it look like he taps on the glass to get the door open. No, no ones that much of an idiot, we want people to believe this. Aside from the fact that trump is openly sympathetic to fellow sexual predators, he also desperately wants moores vote for his plan to massively cut taxes for corporations and wealthy heirs. Trump and the gop want to get it done by the end of the year, and in fact trump keeps trying to sell it as a christmas gift. Were working to give the American People a giant tax cut for christmas. We are giving them a big, beautiful Christmas Present in the form of a tremendous tax cut. Were going to give the American People a huge tax cut for christmas. Hopefully that will be a great big beautiful Christmas Present. Seth im sorry, but the last person i want to get a Christmas Present from is donald trump. Hes the kind of guy who would give you a framed photo of himself, and tell you where to put it in your house. [ light laughter ] trump is so obsessed with tax cuts, and what he claims to be their impact on the economy that he even mentioned them during a rambling video call with American Service members serving overseas on thanksgiving. Were doing well at home. The economy is doing really great, when you come back, youre going to see with the jobs, and companies coming back into our country, and the stock market just hit a record high, unemployment is the lowest its been in 17 years. So, youre fighting for something real. Youre fighting for something good. A lot of things have happened with our country over the last very short period of time, and theyre really good, theyre really good. I especially like saying that companies are starting to come back, now were working on tax cuts, big fat, beautiful tax cuts, and hopefully well get that and then youre going to really see things happen. Seth oh, my god, a rambling phone call from a 71yearold man in florida on thanksgiving. Its official, donald trump is everyones grandpa. [ laughter ] [ applause ] when he hung up when he hung up they were probably relieved to get back to what they were doing, and what they were doing was afghanistan. Yeah, actually we got to go, weve got isis. In fact, incoherent ramblings seems to have become trumps default mode when trying to sell his tax plan. Trump recently spoke by phone with a group of Democratic Senators about the plan, and according to one of the senators on that call, trump rambled for so long, his Economic Advisor gary cohn had to fake a bad connection to get him off the phone. About thirty minutes into the call, gary gets up and takes a call on his cell phone, comes back into the room and he says, we have somebody calling in from asia, and it was the president , which was nice, nice of him to do that. Fifteen minutes later, the president s still talking, and i said to gary it was a room where were all sitting around this big square table, and i said, gary, why did you do this . Why dont you just take the phone, you know, your cell phone back, and just say, mr. President , youre brilliant, but were losing contact, and i think were going to lose you now so goodbye, and thats what he did, and he hung up. Are you saying that gary cohn faked a bad connection to get the president off the phone . Well i wouldnt i dont want to throw him under the bus, but, yes. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] seth oh, you dont want to throw him under the bus . Bro, you pushed him in front of it as it was speeding down the street. So the president is standing behind an accused child molester in order to pass the tax cut plan that would overwhelmingly benefit the wealthy and corporations, in other words trump has handed the democrats a great, big, beautiful Christmas Present. Seth this has been a closer look. [ cheers and applause ] well be right back with icet, everybody.

Thats fantastic. You guys have worked together forever. Yes, sir. Yes, sir, but you know not every day they get to play on seths show. Seth no way, i agree with that thats a big deal. Thats whats up. Seth its a big deal. Playing with icet is one accomplishment but playing for me this is another level. [ laughter ] seth yeah, exactly. By the way that clip, i want to talk about that clip real quick. They i just introduced it i dont think this ever happened. You were in a clip where you didnt even have a line. [ laughter ] i dont know, i get paid for facial expressions. Seth oh, yeah. [ laughter ] yeah. But, nah, this is an episode thats coming up, its the next new episode that comes on wednesday. Mariska does this crazy emmy type acting on there, its so its very, very heavy show, and you shouldnt miss it. Im kind of small in the episode. Because its so much about mariska, this episode. Seth got ya. And im proud, man, 19 years on this show. Seth thats crazy. [ cheers and applause ] i heard that at one point, because 19 years is like patterns can develop, obviously characters become known to the audience. And there almost there was a drinking game that went away because the writers heard about it. Theres a bunch of stupid games that go along with svu. I dont know. You know the fans do they things. We love them to death, but they come up with all these different games, every time ice says this or that. Its strange to me. Seth yeah, well its strange to me that you would watch a show about a horrific crime and get drunk. Seth and think, we should drink. [ laughter ] yeah, we should make a game of this. I mean the craziest thing for me being on the show 19 years, like if youre 20 years old you were 1 years old when i started svu. So you have no Reference Point to anything as far as music or anything i did prior to that. So, its very interesting to meet people on the street and they go, youre a cop and im like, im as far as you can get from a cop. [ laughter ] seth that is true. I think that speaks to how life has life has second acts. Because you werent even an actor for i knew you, obviously, as from hiphop and rap and a musician. And then you were in a few movies. I knew you first from new jack city. Yes. Seth but the first time you got paid for a part, like, you actually got a paycheck. Real check . Seth real check. Because new jack city i got like 23,000 i was the star of the movie and i got what they call sag rate, you know. Seth yeah. So, everybody thought i was rich, but i was still broke. I blew that dough, that didnt last, you know im saying. [ laughter ] after taxes, i was like, man, yo, im a movie star, but im a broke star, like whats cracking. Then i was making a movie with keanu reeves called johnny mnemonic and he had just did the one with the speed. With sandra bullock. So im moving up the chain. And i was like, yo, this is cracking, im making things happen. And then i get a call do a movie called tank girl. First they call me, they say, we want you to play a stripper in arizona. A stripper . Im like, hell, yeah. [ laughter and applause ] hell yeah. So that night i did like, 1,000 crunches. I was getting my thing, you know, getting it together, you know. And then the next day they said, they sent me a picture of a kangaroo. Im like, well, what am i a stripper with a pouch . Like whats cracking, like . They said, no, youre a ripper. Im like, the movies called tank girl . Im like, i thought i mean am i not with keanu reeves . Like what is tank girl kangaroo moves, then they told me i was going to make over a Million Dollars, i was like [ laughter ] you know, i like. You know, i mean, you know, i mean call it what you will, i have nothing against kangaroos, so i wasnt a sellout. Seth and i will say you are not lying, ladies and gentlemen. That was your role that was a Million Dollars right there. [ laughter ] that was all that prosthetics was done by stan winston. One of the greatest whoever did it. You know, it was a huge the budget was huge, and i wore those prosthetics, took three hours to put on and three hours to take off every day. Seth thats insane. Yeah. Seth i want to talk about your daughter just had a birthday. Yeah. Seth happy birthday to chanel. Chanel is incredible. You know what im saying . And my baby girl, shes just turned 2 years old.

How was the party . I mean, it was cool, you know its a kids thing, you know, i dont remember any of my birthdays. And i think when youre fortunate enough to be able to give your kids stuff you dont have. You know, we went out, had a good time, she got a bunch of toys and stuff. So it was good. Just, you know, you start to live through other peoples happiness. You know, and i just seeing her laugh and she was with her brother, who was out here. Now her brother, little ice, who my fans know when he was a kid, hes now 26 years old. Seth yeah, i just met him back stage. Hes a grown man. So she did hers at like, a little playground thing, you know, play party party thing, and he did his birthday at the strip club. [ laughter ] so he was like, daddy, theres a girl and you put a dollar in her butt and it ripped. You know it couldnt i was like, oh, you had a good time. Seth yeah, yeah. [ laughter ] i just hope everybodys invitations went to the right house. cause you dont well, hes out with his older sister, tesha, who is like the ultimate wing man.

Seth she invented it. Yes. Seth lets show a clip first and then you could explain. This is her going out on this is how we move through airports. Now the vip way of moving through hotels. Who needs a bellhop . Seth so how did she come about riding and rolling . We got the little rolling suit case and then she just figured a way. She saw it moving and she just hopped on and got a ride. And now like, when we go through airports, whatever you see her, she just hangs on, like, she loves it. She loves it. And she you know, she wants to do it all the time. Seth yeah. I couldnt, she was like, you taught her how to do that. Im too big to climb on a suitcase like that. How could i teach her . Does she get excited then when you start to pack up to go on a trip, does she know what it means now . She doesnt, but the dogs do. Seth oh, yeah. You know, maximus does.

Seth so, i want to we mentioned new jack city. That the casting of that, this is one of those stories thats almost to good to be true. Well, i got casted in a mens bathroom. Seth okay. Not like that.

Nah, i was in the bathroom and im talking my craziness, and i said, you know the problem is im just ranting to somebody, if you could put me under a microscope and find one molecule of me that gave a f, then they can angle me, but they cant angle me because i dont care about anything right . And the director, mario van peebles, heard that and said, whoever said that is going to be the star of my movie. And he came out and he started a conversation, which i thought he was lying, but it resulted in me getting that role. Seth wow. Just talking crap in the crapper. [ laughter ] seth there you go.

The whole neighborhood is freaking out. What if the killer was like inside the house. Thats so scary. Do they know who did it . No, they have no idea. Have they identified the body yet . I dont know wait, why are you asking so many questions . Because murder makes people naturally curious, agnes. Seth please welcome to the show, Michael Showalter, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] seth welcome to the show. Its so its so lovely to be here. Seth its lovely to have you here and congratulations on search party. The first season of the show was fantastic and i feel like people should know that its helpful to watch the first season before the Second Season. Yes. Yes. Seth this is a heavily plotted wonderfully plotted show. Yes. Yes. Yes, please. Seth well, season one was about 20 some lets just keep telling you about your show. Please do. Please do. [ laughter ] seth 20 somethings who had a friend go missing. Right. Seth trying to find him. And then it actually goes into sort of a darker place in season two. Did you always know that it was headed this way . Well, im going to give away the ending of season one. Seth okay, go for it. Okay, so at so theyre searching for a girl whos gone missing that they knew from college. They didnt know her that well and they sort of start to get caught up in this idea that theyre going to find her and save her and that shes in danger and that theyre going to solve the crime. Only, at the end of the first season, they kill somebody. Seth yeah. [ laughter ] thats worse. Yeah, yeah. Seth yeah. Yeah, they dont they dont theyre not heroes. Seth yeah. They accidentally kill a person. And so season two picks off picks up right where season one left off. Literally, in that exact moment that they that the main character is realizing this the gravity of what theyve done is where season two starts. And so now theyre theyre not searching anymore, theyre hiding and someones searching for them. Seth this is a show that were talking about very serious parts of it. Its incredibly funny, its a really funny show about twentysomethings. This about twentysomethings in brooklyn. You spent your 30s in brooklyn. No, im still in my 20s. Seth youre still in your 20s . Im still in my 20s. Seth im so sorry, michael im a millennial. Seth okay, got you. Yeah, no, you were saying seth i was misinformed and i feel terrible now. Its okay. Seth yeah. A lot of people make that mistake, because i look disgusting. Seth well now, you know, now that ive oh, yeah, yes, i should have known. Yeah. Yeah. Seth did you find a parallel between your time living in brooklyn and what these characters are going through . Yeah, i i mean, i feel like yeah, when i was in brooklyn, i was also like living in brooklyn and aimless and didnt have a you know, no one really had a job, but everyone had ten jobs. But the movie the show is about millennials, but i also feel like it it is a universal experience i think of being in your 20s. I think it captures a certain malaise and a certain anxiety and youre ambitious, but you dont really know exactly what you want to do and thats a lot of what the show deals with. Seth and it is it does strike me as that thing that we all go through before you feel like your life has actually started. Yes. Seth its like the pregame warmup to your actual life. Yes, yes. Seth and i feel thats what all these characters go through. But with that said, even though its i do agree that it feels like everybodys 20s. Theres a specificity thats really wonderful in the writing about 20somethings right now. Yeah. Seth how did you find that difficult or did you find yourself an incredible millennial whisperer who knows [ laughter ] well, i think one of the things as i said, like i do think its show that anyone can relate to, whether theyre my age, like early 30s seth yeah, sure. Or seth just like just on the other side of millennial. Just missed it, yeah. [ laughter ] but, no, i mean, you know, one thing thats really changed from when i was in my 20s is social media. And one of the things that we that we do try to talk that we sort of have made a part of the show is the way in which these characters use social media to kind of tell stories about themselves. Or the way they use social media to to present a version of themselves they want the world to see and then we juxtapose that in a lot of ways with with the people who they really are. And so thats something that we play with. Seth as someone who literally just turned 30 so youre a little bit older than the other people that you work with. [ laughter ] yes. Seth do you still hang out with them socially . Yes. [ laughter ] well, its funny okay, so i feel embarrassed, im actually not 30. Seth oh, my gosh. [ laughter ] im actually like almost like in my like im closer to 50 than i am to 30. Seth okay. [ laughter ] and i the people that make the show, the cast that the other writers in the show are like young and cool and hip and i forget that im not also young and cool and hip. Seth yeah. Like im just like this dad, this like dopey soccer dad guy, and so like when theyre all hanging out after work and theyre going somewhere, im like, where are we going . And theyre like, oh, nowhere you [ laughter ] you know because i have actually become the person who like, they cant be themselves around. Seth oh, right. [ laughter ] you know what i mean . Like when im with them in a social situation, they cant like tell they cant be theyre not comfortable. cause im like a dad. Seth so you ruin it . I ruin it. [ laughter ] seth yeah. They hate me. They hate me. Seth no, i dont believe that. No, no, theyre wonderful. Seth you actually met your cocreators, this was a fantastic story, you were teaching a screenwriting class at nyu . Yeah. Seth and they were two of your students. Yes. Seth and was that a comedy class or was it all kinds of screenwriting. No, no, it was nyu graduate film school and i was i taught there for a bunch of years in the screenwriting faculty. And they were students of mine. Most of the students at nyu grad film are very serious filmmakers and theyre also very international, so theyre from all over the world. And sarah violet and charles were two of my only students that had like an interest in comedy. Most of the other students didnt know who i was or care. Seth oh, wow. [ laughter ] and, but they were right off the bat, they had, i thought, like this very special voice. And then they came actually moved out to los angeles and wrote on wet hot american summer our first season on netflix. [ laughter and applause ] seth oh, thats fantastic. Yes and then we said we should all work on something together. Seth Something Else you worked on this year that was fantastic and i want to congratulate you on is the big sick, which is a fantastic film. [ cheers and applause ] thank you. Seth again, much like search party, very funny, but also a great amount of heart. Yeah. Seth did you find as somebody who has such a background in comedian and being absurd and being very good at that, did you go into that were you worried at all about taking on something that had so much like like emotion to it . No, its actually its what drew me to it. I know kumail, i knew kumail and emily both and i felt like i knew them and i knew this story, so when i read the movie, i had that sort of experience of feeling like, i think i know what they want this movie to be and i think i know how to help them make it. And no, i mean, i think i had the same experience reading it the people have seen when theyve seen the movie, which is this is just an incredible story. And i connected to it deeply and it helps to have a cast like that to work with in terms of accomplishing those emotional beats like holly hunter and ray romano. Seth yeah, they were so fantastic. But, yeah, we worked really hard on it and we rehearsed and stuff so that by the time we were shooting, the tone of the movie and the performances and the kind of style that we were going for, we had all sort of like worked through that. Seth oh, yeah, it definitely showed. Congratulations and im so glad that film is getting the credit it deserves. Thank you. Seth and thanks so much for being here. Thank you so much.
