Also live right now. I want to thank Melania Trump for stopping by to set the record straight and laura, for some reason. applause lets get straight to the big news tonight the republican delegates officially elected their nominee. Spoiler alert for anybody who doesnt want to know how the Republican Party ends its trump. As is tradition, each state voted, and we learned the kinds of things that normally you can only get by opening 50 bottles of snapple. American samoa the greatest exporter of n. F. L. Players. Arkansas birthplace of johnny cash and al green. Kentucky the home of Churchill Downs and american pharaoh and the source of bluegrass music. Maryland home to the oldest state capital in continuous use. Missouri the birthplace of talk radio. Nebraska the number one beef producing state in the union. The great state of connecticut the land where we manufacture pez. laughter applause stephen i dunno, im pretty sure pez comes from darth vaders neck. And the moment trump secured the nomination, the celebration kicked off in style with a giant gold screen that declared over the top which was either declaring victory or indicating the direction trump combs his hair. And then faced with this new reality, the certainty trump was the nominee, Speaker Paul Ryan stepped up to the mic and eloquently expressed the feelings of so many americans. Shhhhhhh stephen it cheers and applause having secured the nomination, trump briefly addressed america from the lobby of his bathroom. Were going to restore law and order, we have to restore, and quickly, law and order, among many, and just so many other things. Stephen yes, were going to restore law and order and many and so many other things like law and order criminal intent, and law order special victims unit. Theyre all good shows. We miss you, mariska hargitay. And he knew just how monumental the night was. Together weve achieved historic results, with the largest vote turtle in the history of the Republican Party. Stephen no, your ears dont deceive you, he did say vote turtle . Not a flub. He was just introducing the next speaker. Senator mitch mcconnell. applause hes the largest vote turtle hes the largest vote turtle in America Mcconnell spoke from the theme of make america work again. That was the theme tonight. Lotta great speakers on that theme donald trump, jr. And Tiffany Trump both provided examples of how hardworking americans just need to roll up their sleeves and be born into a billionaires family. Its that simple. Okay . Pull yourself up by your dads boot straps, and theyre nice boot straps. Theyre the best. Diamondencrusted, fourstar boot straps. applause and new Jersey Governor Chris Christie laughter yes, always a crowd favorite. Christie opened with some nice words about the nominee. We are about to be led by not only a strong leader but by a caring, genuine and decent person. Stephen yeah, certainly not the kind of guy who promises you vp and then leaves you hanging from wednesday night until friday morning a decent man wouldnt do that then christie really fired up the crowd with a super fun game. Hillary clinton has the awful jung and character of a dictator butcher in the middle east, is she guilty or not guilty . Hillary clinton as an inept negotiate of the worst american arms deal in American History is she guilty or not guilty . Audience guilty guilty guilty stephen Chris Christie promising terrifying show trials before a mindless screaming mob with no presentation for the defense, spooking or not spooky . Audience spooky stephen yall are spooky. Say hi to jon batiste and stay human cheers and applause there it is. Big night. Jon big night. Stephen its a big night. It is now official. There it is. Trump is the nominee. You cannot uncarve that pumpkin. You cant uncandy that i am. You cannot uncandy that yam. What i dont understand is, yeah, we knew this was gonna happen, but there was supposed to be a floor fight. Bikers chainwhipping the rules committee. Ted cruz trying to cut out Reince Priebus eyeball with a broken bottle. We were promised excitement but none of that happened. They voted. He got it. Thats it. Let me illustrate for you how no, no, there is still excitement out there. Let me illustrate to you how boring this was. Weve got a social media team on the ground in cleveland all this week, and yesterday for two hours on facebook live, they streamed footage of the condiment station at the convention. Your ketchup, mustard, relish, stuff like that. Half a Million People watched delegates putting ketchup on their hot dogs. Proving what we already knew, the Republican Party is a bit of a sausage fest. applause and then an hour and 50 minutes in and this is true our condiment cam caught fox news anchor bret baier friend of the show filling a water bottle with mustard. Its absolutely true laughter jimmy, play that again. There he is pumping two pumps of mustard into his bottle. And he kind of looks around before he leaves laughter why is bret baier hoarding mustard . What does he know that we dont know . I cant judge the man. We report, you decide. But this is the biggest condiment scandal to come out of fox news since roger ailes was caught spanking the bottom of a ketchup bottle.

Thats transfarency. cheers and applause stephen welcome back, everybody well, one of the things you say about Trumps Campaign is he has surprised a lot of people with the breadth of his appeal across the country. He won more votes than anyone expected but there is one group hes had trouble reaching, africanamericans. In fact, according to the latest polls, donald trump has 0 support from black voters in ohio. cheers and applause 0 goose egg thats the same Rotten Tomatoes score as leprechaun 4. In space , which is unfair because i happen to know that leprechaun has never declared bankruptcy. But there is at least one africanamerican person attending the convention. We got ahold of him.

Stephen please welcome keeganmichael key cheers and applause im a soul man im a soul man im a soul man cheers and applause stephen hey nice to have you on, man. You just missed it, we had another black guy on satellite feed. Had a good time at the convention. Seemed like the audience was concerned for him at the end there. Stephen well, you know, things being what they are. Things being what they are. Stephen im going to talk about the movie in a second because im interested in improv and you and riboth out of chicago. Second city of improv cheers and applause stephen and before we do that. Do you actually follow politics or the conventions . Im trying to watch as much of the conventions as i can because i was promised excitement. Stephen exactly, blood sport. Yes. Stephen what do you think of trump as within improviser . People get disappointed when hes on script and they love it when he flies off the cuff. I think hes a very good stream of consciousness improviser. He doesnt follow all the improv rules but the other day he was in a place where he was speaking somewhere else in ohio and said were going to do this, that and the other thing and, who sees the mosquito . You guys see this mosquito . Look at the mosquito. The mosquitos going high. Get out of here, mosquito. Ive had enough of you, mosquito, wheres the money . Stephen did he say wheres the money . Wheres the skit os money . Is he going to support the campaign, but he went saying mosquito all the time and then went off the rail, the mosquito is on the wall, the ceiling, the ceiling is high, its a wall, not as high as my wall will be. Stephen flys from one thing to another. The mind is free, its nimble. Stephen mind is free is a kinder way of saying unhinged. Unfettered mind. Stephen unfettered. If he doesnt govern the way he speaks i wonder the way he would govern if he became president of the United States because its possible. I imagine he will spend every sing daily going, wheres my scepter . I havent gotten my scepter yet stephen its gold. Its gold, it should be near the throne. This is just a regular chair. Stephen do you get the sense when he calls into Television Shows and theres a photo up there, that hes on the toilet . Im on the throne right now. Im on the throne right now. Were gonna win big, huge, gigantic and then. Stephen flush yeah. laughter stephen what about hillary . Any thoughts . Hillarys going to be fine. I think its going to be boiler plate as far as the convention. The debates are what i cant wait for. cheers and applause stephen oh, that will be fantastic. Because hillary tries to hide it but sometimes hillary does great eye rolls, sometimes if you watch. Good Old Fashioned steve Harvey Family feud eye rolls. Somebody gives them a name and he says, something you dont find in the cupboard and somebody goes, elephant and he just goes laughter like hillary, i cant wait for that. Im gonna live on a cloud and then hillary is laughter stephen you should advise her i just want to turn and say, im only 30 points ahead . cheers and applause i just want to see good Old Fashioned norman feld, circuit 1983 ones company. laughter stephen well, the movie is called dont think twice, and its about written by mike brobiglia. So talented. Stephen and its an improv troop i was a member of an improv troup. So was i. Stephen they always have odd names like third rail coldy. My favorite is from an old cast member of yours, Hans Christian yes and erson. Im out of second city detroit were called the 313. Stephen there was one in chicago i liked called a giant, called l. B. J. K. K. K. K. I love them. Stephen this is kind of like your life pause its about a guy who gets sort of plucked from a small improv and he cant make a living at all. And there are autobiographical elements to the film in regard to my life and career. But the biggest thing thats hard is every rule of improv is the opposite of show business. Got your back, im there for my partner. Serve the other person. Stephen i follow the foul loyer of the servant. Youre more important than i am. The opposite of show business. Stephen exactly get out of my way i need to be a star laughter stephen you went from improv and now youre a star. You must know what this guy is going through because he doesnt know how to feel or talk to the rest to have the troup because he went big time and he sort of left the family. Its a family that hes made. And theres an ambivalence that hes had so hes trying to get everyone from his troup, all jobs on the show hes on. The problem is hes on the show, trying to get them jobs and everyone on the show is dont get fired your first year. Just you, dont worry about your friends, just you dont get fired. Hes caught between the two worlds and doesnt know what to do. Stephen hes saying yes, and. Everything comes out of that. Agre
