Also live right now. I want to thank melania for stopping by to set the record straight. And broadway star laura benanti, for some reason. applause lets get straight to the big news tonight folks, the republican delegates officially elected their nominee. Spoiler alert for anybody who doesnt want to know how the Republican Party ends its trump. Now, 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, the source of bluegrass music. The great state of 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 i come from the land where we manufacture pez. laughter applause stephen i dont know, thats what he claims, but im pretty sure pez comes from darth vaders neck. And the moment trump secured the nomination to send him over the top, 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 that 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 then 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, so many other things law and order criminal intent, and law and order special victims unit. Theyre all good shows. We miss you, Mariska Hargitay and trump 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. That was 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. Lots of great speakers on that theme tonight donald trump, jr. And Tiffany Trump both provided examples of how hard working 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 very nice words about the nominee. We are proud to be led by not only a strong leader but by a caring, genuine and decent person. Stephen yes, certainly not the kind of guy who promises you vp slot and then leaves you hanging from wednesday night until friday morning a decent man wouldnt do that then Chris Christie really fired up the crowd with a super fun game. Hillary clinton is the awful judge and character of a dictator butcher in the middle east, is she guilty or not guilty . Audience guilty 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, spooky or not spooky . Audience spooky stephen yall are spooky. Now, folks, say hi to jon batiste and stay human cheers and applause band playing there it is. Big night. Jon big night. Stephen its a big night. Its a big night. It is now official. There it is. Trump is the nominee. You cannot uncarve that pumpkin. You cannot uncandy that yam. What i dont understand is, yeah, we knew this was going to happen, but there was supposed to be a floor fight. There was supposed to be chaos, 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 to 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 then this is true then this is true an hour and 50 minutes in, our condiment cam caught fox news anchor bret baer 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 baer hoarding mustard . What does he know that we dont know . I cant judge the man. We report, you decide. But i will say this is the biggest condiment scandal to come out of fox news since roger ailes was caught spanking the bottom of a ketchup bottle. Well be right back with Keegan Michael key. cheers and applause band playing brewmaster. Risktaker. I sold everything i had to own a brewery. You might have heard its name.

Introducing the firstever cadillac ct6. band playing 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, even though the convention is in cleveland, according to the latest polls, donald trump has 0 support from black voters in ohio. cheers and applause 0 goose egg 0 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 a hold of him.

Stephen please welcome keeganmichael key cheers and applause im a soul man im a soul man cheers and applause im a soul man 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 really 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 just a second because im interested in improv and you and i are both out of chicago. Second city of improv. cheers and applause stephen and before we do that do you actually follow politics or are you following 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 an improviser . People get disappointed when hes on script and they love it when he flies off the cuff. I think the thing is 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, were gonna do that, 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 mosquitos money . Is he going to support the campaign . But what was interesting was he was doing a lot of exploration and not a lot of heightening. Just kept on saying mosquito over and over again. But then he went off the rails, the mosquito is here, the mosquito is on the wall, the ceiling, the ceiling is high, its a wall, not as high as my wall will be. Stephen flies from one thing to another. So the mind is free, its nimble. Its not sane, but 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 think pretty much if he becomes president of the United States, he will spend every single day 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 same impression, when he calls into Television Shows and theres a photo up there, that hes just on the toilet . Because thats where people mainly have their cell phones. Im on the throne right now. Im on the throne right now. Were gonna win big, were gonna win huge, were gonna win gigantic and then. Stephen flush yeah. laughter stephen what about hillary . Any thoughts . Heres the thing. Hillarys going to be fine. I think its going to be boiler plate as far as the convention goes. I cant wait for the debates. The debates are what i cant wait for. I cant wait for the debates. 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 him a name answer 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 going to live on a cloud, and then hillary is laughter stephen i hope shes watching. 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, you know, circa 1983 threes company. laughter stephen well, the movie is called dont think twice, and its about written by mike burbiglia. So talented. Stephen and its about a comedy troupe, an improv troupe i was a member of an improv troup. So was i. Stephen they always have odd names like third rail comedy. My favorite is from an old cast member of yours, Hans Christian yesanderson. The group im still in, i have been in a group for 15 years that comes out of the second city detroit were called the 313. Stephen there was one in chicago i liked called a cart of giant, called l. B. J. F. K. K. K. I love them. Stephen this is kind of like your life because 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 kind of hard is every rule of improv is the exact opposite of show business. Got your back, im there for my partner. Serve the other person. Stephen i follow the follower 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 of the troupe because he went big time and he sort of left the family. Hes left the family, its a family that hes made. And theres an ambivalence that he has so hes trying to get every
