[ light laughter ] you know that list of side effects at the end of a pharmaceutical ad . He apparently has all of them. [ laughter ] he said among other things that there were very fine people on both sides of the events in charlottesville. He asked if people on the left have any guilt that the White Supremacists became violent and then he said this many of those people were there to protest the taking down of the statue of robert e. Lee. So this week its robert e. Lee. I notice that stonewall jacksons coming down. I wonder, is it George Washington next week . And is it Thomas Jefferson the week after . You know, you you really do have to ask yourself, where does it stop . Seth where does it stop . [ light laughter ] buddy, weve been asking ourselves that question since january. [ cheers and applause ] normally when someone is talking, that level of crazy, batman crashes through the ceiling and punches him. [ laughter ] trump is like a bad waitress in a crappy diner who is trying to get fired so she can go to a concert. Heres a picture of general john kelly, his new chief of staff, during this press conference. [ audience oohs ] look at that guy. Trump is so fully out of his mind, he broke a general. [ light laughter ] that guys been in wars. Congress, isnt this enough . Cut bait on the president. Its time to let this crazy bitch go to the concert [ cheers and applause ] this has been breaking crazy. Seth President Trump last night, made his first visit to manhattan since his inauguration. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton visited three manhattans and a bud light. [ laughter ] [ slurring ] i won the popular by three million votes. [ laughter ] the latest gallup poll found that President Trumps Approval Rating with republicans has dropped three points in the last week. But hes Still Holding steady with angry mobs, 1835. [ light laughter ] President Trump tweeted yesterday that he was returning to work in washington to focus on military and trade. Though its a little scary that he wants to do both at the same time. [ light laughter ] in a new interview, former White House Communications director Anthony Scaramucci said that he recently realized his signature sunglasses were made for women. Not only that, but his suit is actually a childs halloween costume. [ laughter and applause ] the Media Coverage of this weekends charlottesville riots focused primarily on the organizer of the white supremacist march and those who instigated violence, as it should have. But those headlines overshadowed some heroes who have emerged in the wake of these events, and we want to take a moment to recognize them in a segment called give em a medal. [ cheers and applause ] seth we begin with this Virginia StatePolice Officer who was photographed surrounded by White Supremacists. He deserves a medal for being so committed to free speech that hes willing to protect the worst possible speech. And for facing more white walkers than jon snow, give him a medal [ laughter and applause ] the riots this weekend were sparked by the city of charlottesvilles decision to take down a confederate statue. So up next is this guy, who was seen in charlottesville a month ago, with this sign. [ light laughter ] politicians in the media keep talking in circles about this thing, but that guy boiled it down to two and half words. Give him a medal. [ cheers and applause ] incidentally incidentally, [ bleep ] yo statue is the trumps administrations official policy on immigration. [ laughter ] while were talking about signs, this one was seen at protest in new york last night. Thats a mime holding a sign that says always speak out against bigotry. [ light laughter ] hey, President Trump, its not great when a mime is more outspoken about racism than you are. By the way, this is how bad things have gotten were taking the side of a mime. Give her a medal. [ cheers and applause ] also seen at the antitrump protest in new york last night were these heroes. I cant believe those women had the patience to stand in a party city long enough for an employee to fill all those balloons. [ laughter ] theres enough helium in there to do a Jared Kushner impression for a week. [ light laughter ] also, i cant believe they found an insult to combine trumps favorite thing, gold, with his least favorite thing, reading. Give em a medal [ cheers and applause ] and finally, the guy who organized this weekends White Supremacy march tried to give give a statement to the press on sunday, but got chased away by counter protesters. Take a look. [ yelling ] seth no matter where you turn for the last three days, there were headlines and news footage displaying the worst impulses of humanity. And then for one brief moment one brief shining moment, there was this. A white supremacist who seemed to be saying, does anyone know the way out of these flowers . [ light laughter ] give those flower a medal. This has been give em a medal. [ cheers and applause ] seth a man in sweden encountered a rare white moose on friday. A white moose is just like a regular moose, except it loves frasier. [ light laughter ] that was my favorite of all the jokes. [ laughter ] a joke that was designed not to work, because we showed a picture of the white moose. So we knew that wasnt the only difference. We knew the difference was that moose was white. [ light laughter ] but i still, i really i really wanted to hammer home how much white people like frasier. If you leave with anything today, because i know, the president , hes not good at his job, but if you leave with anything white people love frasier. [ laughter ] police in florida are searching for a man who pulled an axe on a store clerk after he was asked for his i. D. Police described the suspect as the guy carrying an axe. [ laughter ] airbnb is reportedly banning permanently banning White Supremacists from making reservations on the site, because they keep cutting eye holes in their hosts sheets. [ light laughter ] cant get em back after the frasier joke. [ laughter ] in alabama woman missing for nearly a month said she was able to survive in the woods on mushrooms. Said officials, maam, you were out there for 45 minutes. [ laughter and applause ] yeah, yeah. 45 days. Also, i can see sounds now. And finally, taco bell has announced that it will soon launch the naked egg taco, a breakfast taco that uses a fried egg as its shell. Coincidentally, naked egg is also your body type, if you eat breakfast at taco bell. [ laughter ] ladies and gentlemen, we have a great show for you tonight [ cheers and applause ] he is the star of the new film, logan lucky. One of our favorites, adam driver, is back on the show. [ cheers and applause ] he is the star of nbcs new show, marlon. Marlon wayans is joining us, everybody [ cheers and applause ] and hes a fantastic guy, hes hilarious, hes the star of comedy central, the president show. Anthony atamanuik is here [ cheers and applause ] talk to him about what its like to play President Trump. Now as we all know, as weve discussed here, violent riots erupted in charlottesville, virginia, this weekend. Here to talk about it is one of our writers, amber ruffin. [ cheers and applause ] hey. Seth hey, how are you, amber . Hey, im all right. Hey, seth. Hey, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] yeah, now i i planned on coming out here tonight to talk about charlottesville and trumps crazy press conference. I was going to tell everybody to take a stand, to not be discouraged, and to keep up the fight. And i truly believe that. But its just too much right now. I have a lot on my race plate. Seth yeah, im sure its very hard. It is, and i bet a lot of minorities feel the same way. Seth and what way is that . Tired, but in a black way. Weary. Tired of people acting like racism is new. Tired of people telling me to see things from both sides. Tired of people asking me if im related to the bachelorette just cause shes black. Seth and youre not. Second cousins, but thats not the point. [ laughter ] black people are coping with a lot right now. But its not a sprint, its a marathon. And its important to take care of yourself. So, you know what . Instead, im going to take you to some place new. Seth what . Where are we going . To my safe space. Come on seth all right. Lets do it [ cheers and applause ] a safe space . Yep, a safe space is a place you can go to where its safe to do whatever you want. You can just be yourself. And no ones going to say or do anything that makes you uncomfortable. Its kind of like facebook after you unfriend all the people from your hometown. [ light laughter ] welcome to my safe space. Seth whoa. And youre allowed to have this here . I am, since i told everyone its yours. [ light laughter ] seth and they believed you . Well they said, seth wanted a poster of Maxine Waters . And i said, why wouldnt he . And they didnt argue. [ light laughter ] being black in america is tough, and people shouldnt be afraid to take the time they need to stay strong. Seth so, now that were here, are you upset about [ garbled speech ] wait, why cant i say it . cause this is my safe space. It wont let you say it. Theres a lot of things you cant do in here. Here, try to touch my hair. Seth okay. [ laughter ] [ electricity crackling ] whoa. Yeah. Margarita . Seth yeah. Are margaritas a black thing . No. Margaritas are an amber thing. Not all black people have the same safe space, and not everything in here is a black thing. Look, heres a coaster of chris evans. [ laughter ] seth thats chris pine. Chris something, hes cute. [ light laughter ] seth i mean, this is great. I wish i had a safe space. Seth, youre white. You have a safe space, its called america. This is where i can say and do things that i cant when white people are around. Like this. Sometimes instead of ask, i say axe [ light laughter ] its fun, try it. Seth try what . Yelling something you wouldnt yell in front of black people. Seth oh, i dont know. Come on. Seth okay. I think al sharpton is a bit much [ laughter ] we all do. [ laughter ] seth, what do you think of my safe space . Seth well, this is fun. But it kind of just feels like chillin out. It is, but for black people it has become very hard to find a place where you can just chill out. Every day theres another tragedy, another hate crime. Another shooting. Another public mispronunciation of a black name. And you need a place where you can come to, to deal with it. Seth and you need that at work . Yeah. The other day i read a headline about a little girl who got kicked out of school for having an afro. And it hit me really hard, but when i came into the office, no one had even heard the story. They were seeing who could remember how to do the macarena. So, i came in here, dealt with my feelings, went back to the office and told them that it was this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this. Seth hey, macarena. [ light laughter ] sorry, im a little tipsy. Its your first one. Seth its your first one. Sorry, i just such a stressful weekend. With all those neonapkins. Sorry, i was trying to say neonapkins. Hey whats happening . You cant say the word you wanted to say in here. Seth oh, my goodness. Let me try another one. White supermarkets. [ laughter ] you cant say that either. Seth okay, one more. Adolf hilfiger. [ laughter ] thats great. Safe spaces give you the energy you need to deal with the worlds bull[ bleep ]. I look around at my heroes and the loves of my life [ laughter ] and i know that im not alone. And if they can do it, so can i. Seth wow, and you get all that from your safe space . Yup. Why cant the Big Bang Theory have just one black character . Seth when we have rappers on the show, i always worry im going to shake their hands wrong. [ laughter ] i never watched the wire. Seth ive watched the wire five times, and its the first thing i tell black people. [ laughter ] i dont like rachel dolezal, but i would let her do my hair. Seth i dont recognize three of the women in these posters. [ laughter ] all right, im recharged. Lets bounce. Bounce means leave and bounce. Seth so, are you ready to talk about last weekend now . Yeah, it makes me sick. How are we supposed to cope with all this [ bleep ] . Everyday its some new you know what . I think i might need some more time in my safe space. Okay. Seth well be right back with more late night [ cheers and applause ] maxine you aint gonna believe this [ cheers and applause ] whats going on here . Um. Im babysitting. Thatll be 50 bucks.

[ cheers and applause ] and back with us tonight on drums from the grammynominated rock band stone sour, whose new album hydrograd hit number one in the u. S. When released this summer, roy mayorga, everybody. Thank you so much for being here. [ cheers and applause ] how you doing . Seth you know our first guest tonight from his work on the hit hbo series girls and in such films as this is where i leave you and star wars the force awakens. He stars alongside Channing Tatum in the new film logan lucky which is in theaters friday. Lets take a look. The last time you said that word to me, i ended up getting sent down for six months. It was juvie. I was 13. And you were supposed to be the lookout, now, werent you . Being that i was your kid brother, i let you lead me into trouble with all your crazy cauliflower plans. My life of crime is over. Seth please welcome back to the show, adam driver, everybody [ cheers and applause ] seth welcome back. Oh, thanks for having me. Seth so happy youre here. Happy to be here. Seth i want to talk about the film, but i also want to congratulate you on the culmination of girls. The fact that it came to a close. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Seth just a fantastic show that i love show much. Thanks. Seth did you when girls wrapped up, did you take anything . Did you take any mementos from the set . Sweat pants. Seth you took sweat pants . Yeah, yeah, yeah. [ laughter ] that was it. That was it. Those are the only thing, sweat pants. Seth yeah. I guess girls doesnt have a lot of stuff that isnt already in peoples apartments. [ laughter ] well, theres, like, a particular pair of sweat pants that i wore from the first season where we had to be naked a lot during shows. Seth uhhuh. So i would always wear these sweat pants. Seth yeah. And none of my sweat pants fit me, so i just took them. Seth wow. Yeah. Seth thats and no one minded . I dont think they cared. Seth yeah. I guess if youve been wearing them for seven years, they were probably like, you can you have the sweat pants. [ laughter ] yeah. Yeah, we dont want them. Seth ive talked to other cast members on the show, and because the show was about characters who were so open about their sexuality, and then that was what was expressed in the show so often, that people were very comfortable to come up and talk to them about their own stuff. Oh, yeah. Seth did that happen with you . It did, yeah. I remember being on the subway and someone theres a scene where well, i wont give away the scene. But the guy said, i know what, you pee on her in the shower. I do that with my girlfriend all the time. [ laughter ] and his girlfriend was with her and shes like, mijo, shut up [ laughter ] it was at the train stop, thats how i remember. I was getting a metro card. [ bleep ] on some other guy. Seth but now, of course, you play Something Else that probably even more people have seen. Im going to say more people have seen star wars. Okay. Seth im going to go i think a lot of people watch girls, but i think star wars does a little better with people. [ laughter ] for just total number of eyeballs. But so kylo ren youre a very likable guy but you play a character, obviously, who is very villainous. You know, for people who havent seen it, you kill a very lovable character in the star wars canon. Have people approached you about that . Yeah, yeah. [ light laughter ] i guess when you put it all together like youre doing, im like, yeah, theres a lot of awkward moments. [ laughter ] mostly like children, small children will be sad about it or airline stewardesses. Seth uhhuh. [ laughter ] do children engage with you . Do they ever i dont know why i compared those two. Seth yeah. [ laughter ] i just in the list of my mind itd be construction workers seth there you go. Now you fixed it. Yeah. Seth yeah. [ laughter ] what was your question, again . Seth do children ever ask you about it . I mean, they must be fascinated to run into some i mostly hear from friends of mine, like, when my kid was watching it, they said, why . You know . Seth yeah. Things like that. Like, why . Thats fair question for a kid to ask. Yeah, why would he do that . This is seth yeah. Because its patricide. Seth right, i guess patricides a tough thing for a father to explain to his kids. Yeah. [ light laughter ] seth you probably just say, well, i dont know why he did it but you should never do it. [ laughter ] right. But its an easy thing to understand once you have kids. Seth yeah. Right, exactly. So congrats on this film. Steven soderbergh directed this and you tell a little bit from the clip. But this sort of a southern oceans 11. Yeah. Seth to some degree. Yeah. Seth where the heisters are a lot less intelligent. Yes. Seth yeah. Yeah. Whereas oceans 11, everyone seems to have all the means at their disposal they seth yeah. Have the opposite. No means at their disposal. Seth no. And theres also 11 of them. Right. Seth so they all need to be good at one thing. Right. Seth and yet, there are three of you and youre all kind of not really great at everything. Yeah, theyre amateurs at everything. [ light laughter ] seth amateurs at everything. You have a very specific southern accent in the film and i appreciate it because i feel like sometimes that can be an accent that people approach sort of lazily and do a southern but that seems very specific. Did you work very hard on that . Yeah, they had this really great guy named diego pardo who was the dialogue coach, to do a West Virginia accent. And, you know, get it right from the region and it was, you know, and drilling it and i mean thats it. Calling and ordering things in the accents do it. Keeping it the accent on set. Daniel craig, at the same time, was, like in between sets, everyone kind of had to stay in the zone. Seth and david craig plays the least david craig Daniel Craig Daniel craig [ laughter ] david was good, too. Seth david craig, i thought, i thought should have been james bond. [ laughter ] he was my choice for james bond. Daniel craig ended up doing great. Dave. Poor dave. [ light laughter ] seth poor dave. Yeah. Seth im so bummed. Because i know dave watches the show. I know. Seth and he finally got over it. Yeah. Seth and now hes like, oh, [ bleep ] now i got to think of that. [ laughter ] but this is the least daniel craig part i think ive ever seen him play. He plays dave would agree. Seth yeah. [ laughter ] seth but hes an explosives expert. Yeah. Seth joe bang. Joe bang. Seth which is really great. Seth you cant ask for better than that. No. Seth as far as the name goes. Yeah. Seth you play an iraq war veteran. You have a prosthetic arm. Yeah. Seth so you also had to then, through the course of the film, learn how to do things with one arm, as well . Yeah. Seth was that easy . Was it difficult . Uh no. [ laughter ] yeah. Seth yeah. [ laughter ] yeah, i had to make a martini and that was difficult to make with one arm but afterwards, like, i feel like i feel good about it. Seth yeah. Not really good about it, but i feel good that i have that skill seth yeah. In my pocket. [ laughter ] seth well, i think, well, im trying to think of when a onearmed martini comes in handy. It hasnt. Seth it hasnt yet. [ light laughter ] yeah, never. But you just finished the movie. I feel like give yourself more time. [ light laughter ] yeah. Well, now i say that now, maybe itll something will materialize. Seth yeah. But i feel like now somebody will do it just because they heard you say it. Yeah, right. Seth you know . But it wont be or ask me to do it and ill be like, no. [ laughter ] seth yeah. Thats my move. Thats movie adam. Thats a dave thing. [ laughter ] seth so you tell me about youre involved with an organization. What is it . Arts in the armed forces . Arts in the armed forces. Seth which is a fantastic organization. Yeah, thank you. [ cheers and applause ] seth so tell me what it is you guys do and sort of how you got involved with it. I got involved i was in the military, in the marine corps with 1 1 Weapons Company out at camp pendleton. And then i got out and went to juilliard for acting and noticed they couldnt be more opposite worlds. But in the same time, found myself being more articulate about feelings and emotions and just theater in general. I came from not a very well, theater wasnt not that mishawaka, indiana is not, like, you know not a lot of theater there. Seth yeah. [ light laughter ] unlike here in new york where its, like, basically the hub for theater. Seth yeah. Of the world. Seth even people who arent in theater in new york are incredibly theatrical. Right. Seth yeah. [ laughter ] so we tried i wanted to bring plays basically, because i you know, there are all these great plays like shepherds and mamet and all of these great playwrights who somehow were articulating my experience of being in the military, even though the plays had nothing to do with the military. Just amazing playwrights. And i wanted to bring it to a military audience. But all of these organizations kept telling me that theater didnt fit in a military demographic. That they would rather see, you know, cheerleaders and basketball games, whatever it is. And i remember those events, all wellintended. But felt that because of our jobs, we were capable of handling something more thoughtprovoking. Seth and do you sense an appreciation from them that you are challenging them in a way that they havent been with entertainment . Yeah, i mean, people afterwards pretty much sound like theyre plants, not plants, like plants. But like like we planted them in the audience to say what it is that we wanted to hear. Which is, you know, i didnt know theater was like this. Theater is so expensive, i cant afford to see it. I didnt know something about seeing it live. Its like all the things that youre , you hope people get from, you know, going to see theater, or a theatrical experience or a movie, i guess. That maybe from just by real estate, just from being in new york, you kind of become numb to the fact that theater can be a weapon, you know, it can be something that can arm someone with, you know. Something about watching someone liveexperiencing something that maybe resonates with what youre going through. Theres some power in that. And i noticed in myself being less aggressive, able to finally articulate feelings as opposed to howling at the moon or whatever i was doing before. [ light laughter ] seth well, thats really great that you do that. Thanks. Seth congratulations on that. Congratulations the film. Thank you very much. Seth always a such pleasure to see you, adam.

New episodes air thursday nights on comedy central. Lets take a look. Mr. President mr. President youre welcome. Thank you, thank you. First, let me just take a moment to insult jeff sessions. [ light laughter ] jeff, you look like a melting gap kids mannequin. Okay, jeff . You get it . Moving on. Seth please welcome to the show, Anthony Atamanuik, everybody [ cheers and applause ] seth how are you, man . Im good. Seth congratulations on this show. For those who havent watched, and you really should immediately yes. Seth you play President Trump hosting a talk show. Yes. Yes. Seth and my dear friend, your dear friend, pete grosz plays Vice President pence, as sort of a side kick. The great. Yeah hes incredible as pence. Seth and, this is very exciting. How did it come about . Obviously you had this impression. Yeah. Seth and then how did you decide you wanted to do it as a talk show . Well, i had done it at ucb, at upright citizens brigade. Seth and how did it happen the first time, like that you realized you had a trump impression . We were in ascap and someone said mr. President and i walked out and it was two months after he announced, so i thought it would be funny. And it was probably very poor. I think i sort of it was like like, i didnt do anything great. And someone said, you should do a show. And so i wrote it in seven days. And the core material for that ended up being sort of the touring piece i did with James Adomian where he played bernie. Seth he did a wonderful bernie sanders, yeah. Trump vs. Bernie. And then, once he got elected after i went into hiding for three weeks and was like, i cant believe im now trapped in this sort of like Faustian Bargain with [ light laughter ] doing this. I thought, well, he always wanted to do tv. I think thats the reason he ran was to renegotiate the apprentice. Seth i agree. And i really do. I think it was to renegotiate and i think he then got stuck in it and was like, oh, no, i got to do this. [ laughter ] and so i said what would he do if he did fireside chats . And i thought of that scene when de niro cant in casino, he cant work at the casino any more and they cut to him hosting that, like, awful talk show from the casino. Seth yeah. And i said, thats what he would do. Seth yeah. Just an awful talk show. An awful talk show. Seth and you but its a great talk show. Seth yes. Its a very its a great comic talk show. You have said this about yourself that you feel a little bit like Dustin Hoffman in the film tootsie where he was an actor who couldnt get work until he sort of dressed up as a completely different character. Yes. Seth is that the case for you . I yes, i actually was not being able to get i couldnt get a commercial. I found out someone took my role in iceman cometh. And so i ran across the street in a hip, runningacrossthestreet new york move and then yelled at my agent and then got no. And so i yeah. Im a redhead. Seth that is so funny. Because that would be what donald trump would say, is that if you embody him, you will success will come. Yes. Seth and that happened for you. It is kind of frightening when you think about it. [ laughter ] it is. Theres a very sort of weird i mean, doing trump is like doing a drag act. Like, it is. Like, someone handed me photos backstage from a live piece i did. And like it is i like learned myself how to do the makeup. Its very like a sad french film like, me in the doing the makeup and putting the hair on. And i thought about the fact that he actually has to do that and he cant pull the skin off. Seth yeah. [ laughter ] hes stuck inside who he is. Seth hes just fully stuck in this thing hes created. Yeah. Seth you youve said this, so you sort of have three modes of your trump impression. And it is i mean it really is so truly the most nuanced of the trump impressions. Thank you. Seth and its really, beautiful to behold. What would you how would you describe the three modes . Well, i think that there is theres prompter mode. And i learned a new thing of why he hates the prompter. And i realize that when he stands at the podium and he has to go prompter to prompter, he shrugs like a kid in school. Hes like [ light laughter ] and then he reads watch. The next watch him, and he goes [ sighs ] like that. So prompter mode is like, you know, good night, moon. Good night, cat. Good night, baby with a rat. Like its very, like he doesnt have any hes like the brown reading group. Then [ laughter ] then theres press conference trump, which was today. Seth yeah. Which was just i mean seth it was really it was the most press conference trump. Well, he uses that excuse me like excalibur. Hes like, excuse me, excuse me, excuse me, excuse me, excuse me. [ laughter ] excuse me. [ cheers and applause ] but, he whispers he whispers actually a lot in those like, rally trump, hell do like what he said today, hes like, but the nazis, they had a permit. They had a permit. They had a permit. The left didnt have a permit, but the nazis had a permit. [ light laughter ] and thats all, nazis need apparently. Seth yeah, exactly. Now, neonazis are very organized, so of course they had a permit. Seth right. [ laughter ] i think there are probably people in municipal government that office mates say, thats ones a real permit nazi. So its it like completely goes together. Hit me while the guy is holding a torch, and hes like, you dont know the half of it. [ laughter ] seth and, do you feel like have you had any sense that donald trump is watching the show or has seen the show . I i dont know if he watches the show. I i know that he were about two weeks ahead of everything. In fact in the Conference Today he said something thats a catch phrase on our show. Where trump is like, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. Right . And he in the presser today, i think actually went oh, boy. And i was like [ laughter ] but we have a catch phrase on the show. He starts every show, he goes im the president , can you believe it . Lets roll. And he two weeks after the show premiered he was in the rose garden for the Health Care Like his faux Health Care Victory where he made all the Congress Come stand behind him, and he literally turned and said, im the president. Can you believe it . And i was like, either hes watching or i have symbiotically melded with him like spock and the horta. [ laughter ] seth you who loves the horta, guys . [ cheers and applause ] seth so what was your first episode, the fire truck, right . The premiere episode . That was the fire truck, yeah. Seth so you were out on the street, you were the dump truck. Seth a dump truck. You were improvising. Yes. Seth and fully none of this scripted, and just randomly a truck went by. And i highly recommend everybody find this and watch it. It is, for my money, the funniest two minutes in television this year. And you you basically give very you brought us inside of trumps psyche in this two minutes and you basically very slowly unraveled. Do you it seems to me that you have some empathy in your performance with donald trump. You have to. I mean as an actor you have to have empathy for your character. And i think something people should understand and theyve confused empathy is not sympathy. Sympathy would mean i identify with him and feel something for him. Empathy is almost a sort of an ancient Judeo Christian concept of i am a human, you are a human. We suffer from the same pain and our paths through our pain are different. Thats what empathy is. So, you know, hes a sad, lonely, selfloathing, loveseeking grub. I mean, thats who our president is. Seth yeah. And i think that when you look at him that way, its like id rather go into his psyche and impersonate that. Anybody can stand there and go, im donald trump and do this and anybody can do that. Its an elvis, its a shatner, its a very seth yes. Look as evidenced by the fact, i do one. Yes. Thats right. Seth yeah. And that is the lowest that is really the lowest bar. But you know, so its more the fact that youre going inside whats the sadness inside of him that makes him so attracted to hate. And thats often the case. I mean you see this weekend, this is about a selfloathing and a a hatred thats turned outward because of the crisis within the White Supremacy movements self. And its pathetic and dangerous. And his fathers imposition on him to run the business and the awful relationship they had with each other, including the number of africanamericans they evicted in brooklyn and queens. Seth without his father, what do you think he would be . If he had sort of gotten adopted from another family and got to live the life he wanted to live. What do you think . Well, i think i actually hed be like ratso rizzo in midnight cowboy. I think hed i think if trump didnt succeed, hed live in a studio apartment filled with piles of newspapers. And, like, old garbage in the sink that he never clears out. And he would Wander Around times square trying to steal money out of peoples wallets. [ light laughter ] seth oh, that would be so much better. [ laughter ] it would be so much better. Seth but then you wouldnt have your show. And i probably wouldnt have mine. No, then it wouldnt work. Seth thank you so much for being here. Thank you. Thank you. Seth Anthony Atamanuik everybody. The president show airs thursday nights on comedy central. Well be right back.
