Transcripts For COM The Nightly Show With Larry Wilmore 20150209

Yep. So im a man of my word. Ive got a big bowl of new england clam chowder. This looks pretty good, actually. Should i get some crackers . Nah, ill just eat it. Mmm very good thats not cheating, patriots fans. I just deflated the size of the bowl so its easier to grip. Bam cheers and applause wicked hahb. The only thing worse than the game was the commercials. I couldnt grow up cuz i died from an accident. Larry jesus i wanted to watch a football game. I didnt know i had to prepare a eulogy for a child. I was already feeling crappy enough from eating my famous sevenlayer corntito doubledip bacon deepfried sour creamstuffed crust panini. Trademark dont act like it was just me. You guys had your button popped by halftime. On super bowl sunday, americans consumed roughly 1. 25 billion chicken wings, 11. 2 millionpound of potato chips, and 49. 2 million cases of beer. Suck on that, third world u. S. A. u. S. A. audience chanting its actually not the time to chant. laughter okay. America, i think its time for an intervention. You fat. Seriously, gallup just released the obesity stats for 2014, and the numbers spiked to 27. 7 . Nearly a third of our country is obese. Now, im not going to make a joke about that. The last thing we should be doing is making fun of fat people right now in this time of obvious crisis. And i condemn anyone out there making cheap fat jokes. A lot of people are upset at Michael Moore for throwing shade at snipers, but in all fairness he throws shade on everything in his immediate vicinity. Yeah, i know. Im sorry. But everyone can make a mistake once. Top gun taught us that we need to take care of our vets because some our soldiers age well and some dont. audience reacts looks like the ice man became the ice cream man. Okay. Guilty as charged. In light of this new information, i just now released this statement. I am terribly ashamed of my comments. They were made in a moment of weakness upon seeing val kilmers face. He really let himself go. But that is no excuse for making fun of him. I make no apologize for my statements regarding Michael Moores shadow, however. Thats just science. applause obesity is clearly a problem here in the u. S. , but what about the rest of the world . Europes highest court has ruled that obesity can can, in certain cases, be considered a disability. My eyebrows are up here. Larry calm down, british don lemon. Okay, so so obesity is a disability in europe. But so is working. And bathing. Boom im sorry im sorry i know i shouldnt have said that. Its not right. Okay. I have just released an apology to the british people. I would like to apologize to the british people. That was completely out of line. I still make no apologies for my statements about Michael Moores shadow, however. Thats still just science. applause so, in europe, obesity has been classified as a disability. Thats not how we play in america. The hospitals instituting a hiring policy that excludes overweight candidates. Overweight pilots with a bmi of at least 40 or with a neck thats at least 17 inches must be evaluated. Waitresses can be fired for gaining more than 7 of their original body weight. Overweight women earn smaller paychecks than average size women. Larry oh, thats right. Thats right. Yo mommas so fat okay, yo mommas so fat, she suffers from systemic bias in a job market that marginalizes her just based on her appearance. Ohhhhhh applause and it doesnt end there. In most of the country, you can still fire someone for being obese. And then when youre unemployed, youre likely to gain more weight making it harder to find a job. Its a vicious soul cycle of injustice. So if were actively discriminating against obese people, it brings up the question should obesity be treated as a civil rights issue . I get it. Its tough being overweight in todays society. Every image on a magazine and in television and movies is of a thin person having good stuff happen to them. Even if you go to church, you see a p90x version of jesus on the cross. Right . laughter talk about crossfit. Am i right . Am i right, christian ladies . Okay. Id like to issue an apology to my christian ladies. My mockery of jesus, though accurate, was way out of line. Unlike the Michael Moore blah blah blah, et al. My point is, if jesus looked like this, more galifianakis than cariezel, maybe we wouldnt hear people in this case, a politician finding this as the cause of eric garners death. You had a 350pound person who was resisting arrest. If he had not had asthma and a heart condition and was so obese, almost definitely he would not have died. Larry wow. booing look, im not sure if obesity is a civil rights issue, but im sure of one thing the way were treating obese people, it aint right. Well be right back. cheers and applause cheers and applause larry thank you welcome back to the show joining our panel tonight is host of the cnn show inside man morgan spurlock, author of lessons from the fatosphere marianne kerby, comedian and actor lavell crawford. And comedian shannon devido. applause thanks for joining us. Marianne you first. Were talking about the obesity epidemic. People are really connected to this in almost a way ive never seen. And we talk about snipers and stuff on this slow. Why do you think theres so much emotion and disdain for fat people out there . I think three things are going on. We live in our bodies so you dont get much more personal than that. Your body is a huge part of who you are. Pause its so personal, its not really anybody elses business, so you know theres this sort of instinct of get your nose out of my business going on there. Larry people like to make it their business. They look at you and project themselves. They do. A third thing is i dont think its a concern for anybody else health. If people shout at me when im walking down the street, theyre not in it because theyre concerned about my health. Larry people who are overweight, we talk about it being a disability. Are you offended when you hear that language is this. Im offended by using the language. What im offended by is people who take advantage of the language. People who use it answer excuse. So i would never use my disability as an excuse unless my friends were going to a restaurant i didnt want to get into. Larry you could whip out the parking sticker. Yeah, my pictures on it. Larry do you think its a disability . I think its a fine line but i think that if you really its caused you to have some effect that you really and truly need some of the services that the disability law provides then, yeah, sure, its a disability, but i think that i mean, ingo i think you can go to doctors and maybe, like kind of correct it or even just, like, get it under control. But i can go to as many doctors as i want but unless one is a ripped jesus from earlier im not walking anytime soon. But you cant necessarily go and get it under control. The statistic is pretty sound 95 of diets fail. That one out of 100 people will succeed at a diet. Larry diets succeed. Its keeping the weight off that fails right . Its the afterdiet that fails, right . It doesnt matter what you call it. It doesnt matter if you call ate lifestyle change, and if you want to continue to maintain that, you have to continue to restrict for the restrict. Its not like you can just change your lifestyle a certain way and then maintain that. I understand what youre saying. They work, its just you got to work them. You cant sit up here and be like, oh it wouldnt work for me but you didnt put down the rice crispy treat. I know myself, you know i like a good cookie every once in a while. laughter you know, i mean, you know, i mean, like your supersize things when you have restaurant all you can eat, i take it as a challenge. Larry right. laughter im, like, what you say . Meat . All i can eat . Come on displncht laughter larry youre talking about Golden Corral, these type places. I think some of this is a class issue. Heres what i mean. Seems like in history poor people, theyve always been seems like society has always made it harder to maintain the idea of beauty. When fat was beautiful poor people couldnt get food, so they were skinny right somenow in the days when everybody can be big, now ideal beauty is thin. Sorry, you cant afford the trainer, you cant be thin. laughter processed foods and sugar is the devil now. Maybe they are. They stay in your system about 95 years. Leading a Healthy Lifestyle can be a very expensive endeavor. What you see in the basically lower class neighborhoods is they dont have good Grocery Stores or places for people to exercise. Its a food desert. You wont go to the hood and find a whole foods. No you might find whole foods but it aint going to fit the whole food mantra. Even at whole foods they got food that shouldnt be there because i have been there and they got this brownie ive had it oh, my gosh icing on top had an orgasm right there at the bakery. Im sorry. laughter larry i cant stop thinking about that brownie now. Like you said, is it a civil rights issue or a disability . Its a choice. Ultimately at the end of the day, no one should be able to tell someone a choice they make with their own body. Larry but are we all paying for it through healthcare and those sorts of things . I think you mentioned some of the statistics. Blacks have the highest obesity rate, did you know that . Number one baby larry Childhood Obesity has doubled and tripled can we acknowledge obesity in children is not healthy . Im going to agree with you its not healthy. Because when im at the Golden Corral and im trying to get some of that larry not an anecdote. No, but them little fat kids be in the way laughter you know for real and im like, move it, fat boy you got juvenile diabetes i got grown folks diabetes you know i need this laughter im going to tell you something serious. On the serious tip, why black folks, you know, are higher in obesity than other people, when i was growing up my mother was a single parent, raised three kids by herself, she had to come home and sometimes, man my worst thing, we went to bed hungry. That was the worst feeling in the world. When you go to bed hungry its a nightmare. You have these dreams youre eating stuff, waking up, your pillow gone, you know. laughter larry i have a feeling this is going to lead to another brownie. Well be right back with keep it 100. laughter our name your price tool helps oh, jamie you got a Little Something on the back of your shoe there. A price tag danger price tag alert oh. Hey, guys.

Marianne ill give you the first question. I know youre an advocate for fat acceptance. Yes. Larry if you could wake up tomorrow and be skinny would you . I would have no clothes and it would be terrible. Larry meaning . I would literally have no clothes. Larry yeah but this is who i am. No. This is who i am. applause larry seem like a little hesitation. 100 . 100. Larry okay give her 100. Okay. Shannon, if there was a pill that you could take that would mean you could get out of your wheelchair for good but would mean you would be irreversibly obese for the rest of your life, would you take it . No. No, i wouldnt because i dont know where i would get all my comedy from. Larry you would have fat jokes though. Yeah but wheelchair jokes are more fun. cheers and applause larry wait, you have a challenge but now, if she was fat, she could get back in a scooter, though double joke double joke i dont know larry scooter jokes and fat a jokes, very good. You people at walmart the jokes been made. Larry true. Has the experience of having gained now, everybody remembers supersizing, it was fantastic. One of the best documentaries. And congratulations on your new show, by the way. Thanks. Larry has the experience of gaining and lost weight make you have less respect for people who remain fat . No, i think it made me have more respect for people who continue to fight weight issues. I think the greatest thing thats come out of the ruling is anything that can limit or end discrimination is a great thing. Larry youre cool with overweight people in. Im cool with any people its their choice. Larry keep it 100. No judgment thats good cheers and applause this is your question. Your best friend, hes your boy, hes very thin and agrees to do a following experiment. You go into a porthole and you guys get to switch places for a day. Which one .
