president, there was a presumption, not incorrect, that there were times where i was biting my tongue. that s why the skit that key & peele did with the anger translator luther was funny because people assumed, you know, you know barack s thinking something other than what he s saying in certain circumstances. i think that a lot of times one of the ways i would measure it would be is it more important for me to tell a basic historical truth, let s say, about racism in america right now or is it more important for me to get a bill passed that provides a lot of people with health care that didn t have it before? much, much more from that interview with the former president, barack obama, coming up. next, more on the future of our democracy. let s hope it holds together as the current president speaks in tulsa today. hate s never defeated.
key & peele, amy schumer s show, chappelle show. when you watch thank you go i understand who s telling me this, i understand who s brig it, and i m enjoying it because of that. the world of sketch has been reinvented. there s a lot of people who are turning the camera on themselves. using the simplest, most minimal equipment, doing very cool things and putting it on youtube and reaching millions of people. today everything has got to happen much quicker. kids watch television now on a cell phone, and they watch it in 10, 20, 30-second bursts. so the days of the long sketch i think we ve had them. i am a wizard! you will all die! oh, he thinks he s running. where we had minutes they do it in seconds. so you don t get a lot of character comedy, you get a lot of promise. they take a premise and they mine that premise for as many jokes as they can get out. or one joke. in my own experience the
get a sense of what she believes. chappelle show was about the horror of being a black person in america, and amy s show is the horror of being a woman in america. as things change, people talk more about what s come out into the open. something like amy schumer talking about rape in the military. that was great. i wish to report it. are you sure? yes, i m sure. did you know he has a family? no. does that change your mind about reporting? no. we hadn t had a single sort of female comedian as the focus of a show since carol burnett. okay. $2 on lot a. $2 going once, twice, three times. sold. see, now, that surprises me. that is interesting to say the least. key & peele to me is doing social satire in a way that is so funny and true. finally a technology specifically designed to help you determine whether or not you can drop the n bomb. i can say it. we can all say it!
