On today's show, Seth chasts with Comedic podcasting duo, Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers. But first, a closer look Good news you guys, We are very close to finalizing a peace deal with Iran. In fact, the time and place of the signing will be announced shortly. Now I know this isn't the first time. You've heard this, and you might be skeptical, but don't worry, it comes from a trustworthy source. Let me just check the name here. Oh. Donald Trump. All right. Nevermind, never mind. For more of this, it's time for a closer look first last night, we got an answer to the question, how long does it take to get Donald Trump's bad vibes out of a building he recently visited and the answer was two and a half quarters And what a night for the celebrities who were there. They were all making the surprise faces they think they're making when they fake surprise faces at award shows And in a way, you know, it's kind of sad for Trump that he missed the games because of anybody Needs to know a twenty nine point comeback is possible. It's him after looking at his approval ratings Now one of the reasons one of the reasons those approval numbers are so low is that even some Republicans feel they've been sold a bill of goods, like when Trump and JD Vance called themselves the pro peace ticket. During the twenty twenty four campaign, which is already a little bit weird. I mean, maintaining the peace is part of the job of president. You know, it's what everyone wants. It's not a bonus feature. It's like, if you invited a coworker to their barbecue and he said, I'd love to come and I won't hit on your wife And if you're thinking to yourself, but Trump doesn't seem very pro peace. He's attacked or threatened one out of every thirteen countries on Earth There's a simple explanation. The team that made that graphic mishheard. Trump's not the pro piece candidate. He's the eight piece candidate And I have to assume that's what Trump and his team meant when they said stuff like this. The only chance we have for peace and prosperity It with Donald Trump. President Trump is the peace president. If you want to bring back the peace, the prosperity, stopping the wars, Go, bring your friends, vote for Donald Trump. Donald Trump is the candidate of peace and prosperity. I am the candidate of peace. I am peace Well, you're a piece all right? A piece of work Yeah, I said it Yeah, they know they're gonna clip it and take it out of context, but I don't care You're a piecear, I know it's language unbecoming of a talk show host That should have been a dead giveaway right there. The only people who ever say the words I am peace in movies are the villains. Like if I gave you that quote first then asked you to guess who said it, which one would be your answer? Mahamma Gandhi or Bane? People of Gotham, I am here to liberate you from your decadence and rot Do not fear for I am peace And now I'm going to do the same line as Gandhi. What Why not? I was such a good gandi. Oh, right,,, right Because it's twenty twenty six and I am a white man The point is Republicans spent an entire campaign shamelessly insisting that Donald Trump, the guy who bombed seven different countries in his first term was somehow the candidate of peace. Well, you'll never guess how that turned out. Trump was asked what happened ' all that peace and prosperity stuff. And he basically said, newew phone, who dids? One of your consistent campaign promises was no new wars going all the way back to twenty fifteen. Did you break that promise to the American people? No What changed because you insisted no new wars? Do I' guarantee no war? Yeah sayaying you're the candidate of peace doesn't mean you're against war. It's like, oh, if you're Kendrick Lamar's record producer, that doesn't mean you're against Drake A minor just happened to be the perfect rhyme in that spot. It's not personal Now this is the part of the show where I would sarcastically te up a clip package that proves the opposite of what Trump just said, but I'm not going to do that. I'm going to give it to you straight. And I hope you're sitting down for this because here's the truth. Donald Trump Live. light like a door. say it once or twice. He repeated that lie over and over again. We're not going to have war in the Middle East. I'm going keep you out of wars. I'll keep you out of wars. I'm not going to start a war. I'm going to stop wars. Under Trump, we will have no more wars. You said it all the At time, No more Wars was basically your Bazinga. It was a catch phrase You were like a sitcom dad who would come home and discover that your kids were fighting over the remote control. Whoa, whoa whoa, everyone. Let's take turns. It's like I always say No more wars so what? So Trump lied. The important thing is he's doing everything he can now to stop the war with Iran that he started In fact, as I'm sure you've heard him say, many times, we are very close to a deal. Earlily this morning, Iran launched retaliatory strikes on American bases in the region after the U.S military struck strategic locations near the Strait of Hormuz Which were themselves a response to Iran's downing of a US Army helicopter earlier this week. A new threat from President Trump to Iran. He says Iran has taken too long to negotiate a deal that would have been great for them. Now they will have to pay the price. They'll have to pay the price. What about us? Gas is so expensive. I had to learn to ride a unicycle And then I found out not only can you not park a unicycle in Manhattan, they make you legally move to Brooklyn ack and forth with Iran has been so exhausting that even Fox newews is starting to get tired of all the BS. I think the ceasefire has been fake all along. I think that the ceasefire is Kaput. I don't know how you how you claim that All of this is being held together, I know we're not supposed to ask about timelines, November's com He keeps saying we're very close We're days away. I don't know what that means. We've heard that for a very long time. It's like watching a tourist slowly realize that a game of three card Monte is rigged. Oh so weird I won the first two, but now I've lost thirty seven in a row But it's no surprise that even conservative news outlets are losing patience. Trump has promised to deal with Iran more times than HBO has rebranded. At this point We've been through Irandil, Irandil Go, Irndal now, Irrandal plus, Irandil Max to just Max, back to Irandil Max, back to Rrandeel plus. just Hope we get a spinoff called The Pit of Hormz Yet, despite the fact that even their most die hardartred sycophans on Fox News are skeptical, the administration keeps insisting that a deal could come any day now or any week now or any months now Right now, I feel that we are in a position to get a deal, and I think we're very close to achieving that goal. You say very close, How soon could the deal happen before the midterm elections Oh, absolutely. No. I think we're going to know a lot before the midterm elections. Look, I think the deal could happen in the next week But the deal could also happen months from now. That's not helpful You're talking about a deal to end a war that has crippled the American economy, like my contractor talking about our bathroom renovation. Hey, Angelo, when is this going to be done? Oh give me Greg hide us. I'm sorry we are moving quickly enough for the Prince of New York We haven't had a working toilet for six months, Angelo. Oh, I didn't know my liege was too good for the bucket After spending an entire campaign insisting he would end wars. Trump is claiming he never said He would end wars. What about his other big promise to end inflation? Starting on day one, we will end inflation and make America affordable again. Prices will come down. You just watch, they'll come down and they'll come down fast. Starting the day I take the oath of office, I will rapidly drive prices down and we will make America affordable again. We're going to make it affordable again. We're going to get your energy prices down by fifty percent, groceries, cars, how everything. We're going to get the prices down. Starting on day one, we will end inflation and make America affordable again. A vote for Trump means your groceries will be cheaper. G gettingetting gasoline below wo dollars a gallon, bring down the price of everything from electricity rates to groceries, airfares and Housing costs. We've played that montage so many times. I keep a VHS copy of it right here next to my desk And if you're wondering why a VHS tape, it's because I had to sell my laptop for my unicycle Thanks, inflation We're actually thinking of selling these in the NBC store with this beautiful slipcoat And not only did Trump list the specific things he was going to make cheaper, gas groceries, housing, electricity, airfare, he even gave a specific day he'd start making them cheaper, which was day one, which is insane. Nothing gets done on day one of any job. My first day at SNL, I spent three hours looking for the bathroom until Tracy Morgan told me he thought it was okay to use Lauren's popcorn machine If you think it's impossible Tracey would say that, here's what he said might happen during Monday night's N' game. I think the statue of Lady might get pregnant. And by the way, take a look at her after last night's comeback Not only did inflation not come down in a new report this week, it is found that it has gone up. It's higher than it was when Joe Biden left office, but much like his promise to end worse Trump is changing his tune on inflation. Now he says, actually you guys, actually inflation is awesome. An concern mister President about the latest inflation number which came out this morning. Could that be a No? I love it. The numbers were trying. You know what I really love. I love the inflation. You love I thought you were gonna end it. I genuinely can't think of a more tone deaf thing for a president to say. He might as well say baseball is boring and apple pie is b disgusting. I mean Honestly, what could he say that's more politically damaging than I love inflation? I don't think about American financial situation You might be asking, does Donald Trump really not care about inflation or does Donald Trump really not care about Americans' financial situations? And the mistake you're making is continuing to talk after the word care. because unless it's followed by himself, Donald Trump doesn't care about anything. It's easier for him to try and convince you that inflation is good than it is to stop inflation. That's what he's going to do Eing inflation on day one was a lie in the same way being the candidate of peace was a lie. He lies so easily. Dude was out there this morning saying that Iran is telling him that they're happy with the press they're getting. Iran is very good at publicity, but they're not good at fighting. I took a look at I must tell you, T Can't believe the press they get They can't even believe it. And they told me, they said they're amazing how well we're doing in the papers. The least a thing has ever happened was the time the Iranians said to Donald Trump, it's amazing how well we're doing in the papers So how does this work? You get on the phone with Iranian negotiators and before you get into deal points, one of them says to you, have you seen the papers It's hard to believe him, especially when he posts something like this. Based on the fact that discussions with the Islamic Republic of Iran have been brought to the highest level of Iranian leadership and approved, I have as presresident of the United States of America, cancel the scheduled strikes and bombings against Iran this evening. I like when he writes, I have as president of the United States of America because then I know he didn't just do it as a blowheart from Queens who fell asleep in a finals game Trump' presidency is aait and switch and it couldn't be any more obvious. Trump promised to end wars than he denied. he ever said it. He promised to end inflation and now says he loves inflation. The idea that Trump would ever keep one of his promises is ludicrous. It's more likely that pigs might fly or hell might freeze over, or the statue of Lving might get pregnant. Thank you Crazy.

Are you asking if you're gonna threepeat? I'm asking Okay, well, Seth, we actually have come here to really talk to you about your complacency this year in your campaigning You unfortunately are not this year's winner of Best Vbe Hs downown Yes, but wait. I think you just need a campaign harder next year. I think you might need to start wearing suits again on the show. Okay On roll those sleeves, baby. We've sort of come dressed as a mood board for you. Okay that's great That's great. because I was worried I was trying a little too hard this year. What with like this? And this I know But you're saying not I was not trying hard enough. I mean, let me just say first of all, you're really upset. I name I'm not. Good with this. Yeah You know what, it was too much pressure. And I feel free. He's rolling around in that chair back there like he's upset. Those wheels are turning and burning. Let me right backath with more foromota Now one of the things about the people who win the award for the Lost Culture Eas' Culture Award. Yeah, is they don't get to keep it. No. No No And in fact, it was just a doorstop from West Elm That's right. And can we also point out this is something huge about this picture? You'll see it says No longer available. Yeah. So I'm wondering, did you guys do you guys have enough or or what's your deal? Did you think ahead? We have limited stock. They discontinued it. Yeah. But we have some special agreement with West Elm where they will maybe hold some inventory for us, but we really have to be even more judicious about who gets the award. And now people, I think, because they've been at other award shows, think they get to keep the award. Is it true that you've had issues where you've actually had to like chase people down? Oh, last year, Paige DSorbo won the Allison Williams Coolgirl award. Yeah And she got in her car with an award to drive away and we had to flag this page down and saying that's not yours. We need that Give that back. I'm only showing this photo one to see that I got to hold it but not keep it. and also I'm also showing it because I'm pretty sure I'm wearing the same shirt tonight In case you guys ever forget if I'm your straight friend Just like a guy who's wearing the same sh You you guys bring different looks every year. You know what? I did not deserve this. Exactly. this is I gotta try harder. I'm feeling worse and worse though about this. I think we're gonna have to give you some bigger award next year, like almost as big as those deelts. Oh my Godd. Yeah.
