Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Political Chaos & Trump’s Administration Woes

(02:46–08:59)

• Marco Rubio’s Hiding Tactics (03:18)

  • Rubio admits on a flight to hiding under a blanket from President Trump to avoid appearing "weak" by sleeping.
    • Desi Lydon quotes Rubio: "I want him to think it’s a staffer who fell asleep. I don’t want him to see his Secretary of State sleeping on a couch and think, oh, this guy is weak." (03:18)
  • Jack Lytic lampoons Rubio: "Trump isn’t going to think you’re weak because you’re napping. He’s going to think you’re weak because you’re a puss." (03:42)

• Greg Bovino Demoted After Minnesota Crackdown (04:10–06:41)

  • Bovino, the public face in Trump’s heated Minneapolis operation, is reassigned to the Mexico border—what the show gleefully frames as a political demotion.
    • "How badly do you have to be at immigration enforcement that you get deported to Mexico?" – Jack Lytic (05:04)
    • Bovino reportedly loses access to social media: "There’s no greater punishment to them than telling someone, 'turn in your badge and your dank memes.'" (05:54)
  • Satirical confusion over similar-sounding administration names (Bovino, Bongino, Bobino). (06:20)
  • Fox & Friends’ Brian Kilmeade floats Tom Homan as a replacement; Trump obliges via Truth Social, illustrating TV's influence over policy.
    • "They say TV is dying, but there’s still power in it. I mean, God, if Brian Kilmeade can will something into existence..." – Jack Lytic (07:24)

2. Conservative Pushback on Minnesota Actions

(08:34–09:32)

• GOP and NRA Criticism
  • Even staunch conservative voices, including GOP senators, Governor Greg Abbott, and the NRA, express concern over the crackdown.
  • Rep. Thomas Massie posts, "Carrying a firearm is not a death sentence. It’s a constitutionally protected, God-given right." (08:53)
  • Lytic lampoons the "God-given right" line: "Guys, there’s no guns in the Bible. Are you thinking of the novelization of 'The Equalizer 2,' which, to be fair, is my personal Bible." (09:00)
  • Despite criticism, Newsmax steadfastly supports Trump, with a humorous segment on gun confusion and civil rights. (09:33)

3. Field Report: Greg Bovino's Image Problem

(11:13–13:46)

• Troy Iwata reports from Minneapolis:
  • The demotion is as much about image as policy.
    • "He looks like he’s leaving his shift at the chocolate factory." – Troy Iwata (11:19)
    • Satirical jabs at Bovino's appearance and ineffectiveness (e.g., "throws tear gas like a mathlete whose arm fell asleep"). (11:40)
  • The segment expands into comedic riffs on Bovino's fashion, likening him to "a bad guy from 'The Sound of Music'" and "a testicle getting shaved before surgery."
  • Extended shtick about his failed attempts to look more authoritative (e.g., adding glasses to appear smarter).

4. SportsWar: Satirical Sports Recap

(14:37–21:14)

• Super Bowl LX (Seattle Seahawks vs. New England Patriots) (15:31)
  • Themed as the "Frasier Bowl" with humorous callbacks to the sitcom's settings in Seattle ("Frasier") and Boston ("Cheers").
  • Jokes about team differences as Starbucks vs. Dunkin’ (15:53).
• Heated Rivalry TV Show and the NHL Surge (17:19)
  • The new show spurs a 40% spike in NHL interest, despite the hosts’ lampooning its hockey quality and inclusion of gay characters ("I was sick of having to watch hockey and gay porn on two different screens" – Desi Lydon, 18:09).
• Winter Olympics Scandals
  • Norwegian ski jumpers suspended for "crotch area" uniform modifications.
    • "If lying about your dick is a crime, then lock me and my massive hog right up." – Roy Chan (19:35)
  • Absurd anecdotes involving performance-enhancing—literally—inflating one’s groin, culminating in wild, psychedelic tales.

• 'Ugly Betty' Origins (26:19–28:09)

  • Initially cast for a single episode, Urie’s improvisational, physical mimicking of Vanessa Williams led to his character’s lasting presence.

    • Discusses the significance of openly portraying therapy and mental health, especially post-pandemic: "Here's... not just a show about mental health, but we have, like, an action hero talking about his feelings." – Michael Urie (30:13)

• Season 3 and Fatherhood Arc (31:19–33:12)

  • Urie’s character, Brian, becomes a father, learning the importance of community: "He knows it takes a village. And he's got the greatest village." (32:02)

[Desi Lydon]

From the most trusted journalists at Comedy Central. It's America's only source for news. This is the Daily show with your host, Desi Lydon.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Welcome to the Daily Show. I'm Jack Lytic. We've got so much to talk about tonight. Marco Rubio just wants to disappear. Greg Bovino gets iced out. And did you know that heated rivalry is based on a real sport? Who knew? Let's get into the headlines. There is so much chaos in the news lately. It is truly overwhelming. And if President Trump has you feeling exhausted and wanting to hide under a blanket and you're not alone.

[Desi Lydon]

Marco Rubio admitting he hides from President Trump during his naps on Air Force One, Even cocooning himself in a blanket to cover his head. He says he knows the president never sleeps on the plane and will prowl the hallways to see who's awake. Quote, I want him to think it's a staffer who fell asleep. I don't want him to see his secretary of state sleeping on a couch and think, oh, this guy is weak.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Oh, Marco, Trump isn't going to think you're weak because you're napping. He's going to think you're weak because you're a puss. I mean, come on, you don't have to cover yourself in blankets if you want the president to ignore you. Just be a jobs report or a middle aged woman wearing pants. By the way, how is this guy suddenly the sleep police? He's like my laptop. If you don't touch him for five minutes, he just shuts down. But I can see why the people in the Trump administration want to lay low and cover up. Right now. The whole country is outraged over their fascist cosplaying in Minneapolis and none of them want to take the blame for it. Unfortunately for him, Border patrol commander Greg Bovino has become the face of the immigration crackdown. In that he's the only one not hiding his face. People have been demanding his firing. But if there's one thing we know about President Trump, it's that he has always been a loyal man to his staff and to his wives and to his mistresses. And he is not going to toss out Greg Bovino just to cover up his own cause. Culpability. Sources telling ABC News Border patrol commander Gregory Bovino is out as part of a staffing shakeup.

[Desi Lydon]

The controversial commander has been reassigned to his regular job along the U. S. Mexico border.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Oh no. Como sedice. Bye, bitch. Ma', am, do you know how badly you have to be at immigration enforcement that you get deported to Mexico? That's an embarrassing demotion by any standards. The Department of Homeland Security has been insisting this is not a demotion for Bevino. Oh, uh huh. Okay. Of course not. We're not throwing you under the bus. We're throwing you onto a bus and sending it far, far away. But still, there seems to be some confusion here if there's any clear, definite sign that Trump has lost his confidence in Bovino.

[Desi Lydon]

Mr. Bovino, we just learned, has been cut off from accessing his social media accounts by The Department of Homeland Security.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Oh, he's toast. This administration practically runs on shitposting. So there's no greater punishment to them than telling someone, turn in your badge and your dank memes. I'm just kidding. They don't have badges. I can't believe that no more screen time works on both 8 year olds and the head of a fascist death squad. Wow. Technology is really powerful. Powerful stuff. So it looks like Greg Bovino is gone. Not to be confused with Dan Bongino, who is also gone. There's anyone in the Trump administration named like Mike Bobino. That guy is, let me tell you. So now Trump has a problem. He needs to find a replacement for Bovino. Does anyone have an idea? And I mean anyone.

[Desi Lydon]

What I would do is just bring Tom Homan in. I would love to see Tom Holman just be asked to go in there and settle things down. I would hope there may be a.

Fresh set of eyes.

[Desi Lydon]

Tom Holman going in there taking control of this.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Okay. I think Brian Kilmeade might want Tom Homan. For those who don't know, Tom Homan is Trump's border czar, seen here eyeing a paper bag filled with $50,000. But this is, this is Kilmeade, okay? He's a Fox and Friends host. He's not a cabinet member. Just because he's spitballing ideas on camera doesn't mean that Trump's actually going to do exactly what he's suggesting. Twenty minutes later, the President just posted on Truth Social moments ago, he says, I am sending Tom Homan to Minnesota tonight. Well, me in the face. They say TV is dying, but there's still power in it. I mean, God, if Brian Kilmeade can will something into existence, imagine what I could do. Hey, Timothee Chalamet, it's time. Shave that mustache from Marty Supreme. Yeah, yeah, I think that was the best use of my power. But the truth is a suggestion from Couch people wouldn't have worked on its own. What worked was what the good people of Minneapolis have done with their bravery and their determination and skill. It was their unceasing resistance and banding together in bone chilling temperatures, mind you, that kept attention on the injustices being committed by ICE to the point where even conservatives were pushing back at least 30 Republicans now demanding a full and.

[Guest or Correspondent]

Complete and thorough investigation. Texas Governor Greg Abbott says that it's time for the White House to recalibrate their approach. The NRA even speaking out, posting responsible.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Public voices should be awaiting a full investigation, not making generalizations and Demonizing law abiding citizens.

Republican Congressman Thomas Massie posting, carrying a.

[Guest or Correspondent]

Firearm is not a death sentence.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

It's a constitutionally protected, God given right.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

I mean, I love that conservatives are speaking out, but carrying a gun is a God given right. Guys, there's no guns in the Bible. Are you thinking of the novelization of the Equalizer 2, which, to be fair, is my personal Bible. So you've got everyone from GOP senators to the NRA criticizing how Trump is handling this, but no matter how many people abandon him, he will always, always have Newsmax. They'll defend him. Even if it makes them look stupid. Especially if it makes them look stupid.

[Desi Lydon]

Can I tell you something? Look at that.

[Sports Commentator - Roy Chan]

Take that phone.

[Desi Lydon]

In a weird way, that phone I think could be mistaken for a gun. I want to show you something. Does that look like a gun? I think it does a little bit. It's a phone. It's black like most phones. That's crazy stuff.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

I won't disagree with you there. That is crazy stuff. If you think this couldn't be any stupider, never underestimate Greg Kelly.

[Desi Lydon]

Oh, my God, there's a guy over there.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Stop.

[Desi Lydon]

Doesn't that look like they're done? Seriously, it's just my silly phone. I can't change the screensaver. I didn't choose that one. It just popped up. I think it's like Black Lives Matter or something. I do not support, but I can't get rid of it. See you tomorrow.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

That is the most Newsmax sentence of all time. I don't know what that is, but I do not support it. It's amazing what you can get canceled for on the. I don't support civil rights. I swear. It's a tech issue. You gotta believe me. I have to say, Greg Kelly, that entire demonstration was just embarrassing. I just. I hope Donald Trump didn't see you shit the bed that hard. Oh, phew. You're good. He was sleeping. For more on Minnesota and the removal of Greg Bovino, let's go live to Minneapolis with our very own Troy Iwata. Troy. What was the final straw for Troy?

[Correspondent - Troy Iwata]

Well, Desi, there's no doubt it was Greg Bevino's handling of the crackdown in Minnesota. But for Trump, it was also an image issue. He likes a strong leader, and as you can see, Bovino falls short of that. Literally. I mean, with respect, he looks like he's leaving his shift at the chocolate factory.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Okay, okay, Troy, I don't think we need to criticize his appearance here. I think it's More relevant to focus on his sinister behavior in the crackdown.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

And.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

And also the fact that he threw tear gas like a mathlete whose arm fell asleep.

[Correspondent - Troy Iwata]

Yes, that's true. Plus, you know, when he throws the tear gas, the canister just hits your shins. Troy, I mean that with respect.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

With respect.

[Correspondent - Troy Iwata]

Yes, with all the respect. But at the same time, Des, you can't discount the importance of appearances here. Like his decision to dress as a bad guy from the Sound of Music.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Exactly, exactly. See, that's a performance issue because it's confusing when people can't tell if he's looking for immigrants or the Von Trapp children.

[Correspondent - Troy Iwata]

Yes, yes. Especially when it looks like he has to buy his Nazi outfits in the Hitler youth section. You know, with respect.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Troy, please stop focusing on his appearance. He can't change the fact that he has resting, illiterate face. With. With respect.

[Correspondent - Troy Iwata]

Yeah, well, with respect, you know, he tried to change Desi before. Last week, he projected an image that X experts said, quote, looks like what ChatGPT generates from the prompt guy.

[Guest or Correspondent]

Who?

[Correspondent - Troy Iwata]

His cousin?

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Yeah, yeah. See, I wouldn't emphasize his facial features. I'd emphasize his choice of a haircut. How can he crack down on Latinos while asking his barber to give the sides of his head a Brazilian? With respect.

[Guest or Correspondent]

With respect.

[Correspondent - Troy Iwata]

Yes. Nothing but respect.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

So much respect. Okay, so how did Bovino try to fix his image?

[Correspondent - Troy Iwata]

Well, last week, he tried to add glasses to look smarter, but as you can see, that backfired. President Trump hates dei, so he can't have the head of border patrol looking like a Bushwick lesbian.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

I can see why that look didn't fly with Trump. From the neck down, it says secret police, but from the neck up, it says open mic poem about my vulva. Respectfully. Respectfully.

[Correspondent - Troy Iwata]

So much respect for the vulva.

[Michael Urie]

Oh, God, yes.

[Desi Lydon]

God bless the vulva.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

God bless.

[Correspondent - Troy Iwata]

You know, regardless of why Greg Bevino is leaving Minneapolis, the important thing is that he is leaving and that he left with his head held high, looking like a testicle getting shaved before surgery.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Oh, Troy.

[Correspondent - Troy Iwata]

Respectfully. Respectfully.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Respectfully. Respectfully. Troy Wada, everyone, when we come back, we talk sports, so don't go away. How do you make chicken nuggets? Like, 7,000% better. Short answer, you let Taco Bell make them. Long answer. Start with all white meat chicken nuggets, bread them in crunchy tortilla chips, and.

[Michael Urie]

Serve them with Hidden Valley Diablo Ranch. Yep, that's Hidden Valley Ranch mixed with Taco Bell Diablo sauce. It's exactly what it sounds like.

[Guest or Correspondent]

And somehow even better.

[Michael Urie]

Simple math.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Spicy results. Crispy chicken nuggets from Taco Bell.

[Michael Urie]

A brand new classic at participating US.

[Michael Urie]

Only, while supplies last.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Welcome back to the Daily Show. I think I speak for everyone when I say politics drools and sports rules. For a full recap of the biggest stories in the world of jocks and straps, we turn to Sportswar.

[Desi Lydon]

Get ready for battle. It's time for Sportsboy, brought to you by gambling. Gambling. Your wife won't know if you open a bank account in Maau.

[Sports Commentator - Roy Chan]

What's up, bull bags? I'm Roy Chan.

[Desi Lydon]

And I'm Michael Kosta. This is Sports War. The show where we are legally not allowed to agree with each other. So if I say Indiana winning the national championship was the most surprising of.

[Sports Commentator - Roy Chan]

All time, then I say, uh, hello. Are you forgetting OJ nothing. What's more surprising than his infamous 2000 yard rushing season?

[Desi Lydon]

Oh, that was not the most surprising thing OJ has ever done. And this is true. He once murdered his audition for the Naked Gun. Allegedly. But let's move on to even bigger football news because Super Bowl LX is set. The Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots now headed to the big dance.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Pats fans are dancing in the snow.

[Desi Lydon]

There are a lot of fried vocal cords in Seattle. Two teams from opposite coast ready to face off in football's biggest game. Yes, it's the Seahawks versus the Patriots. Seattle versus New England. Starbucks versus Duncan. Point is, I am shitting myself with excitement and neither will give me the bathroom code. Ronnie, who do you like?

[Sports Commentator - Roy Chan]

Well, Costa, I gotta go with Seattle for pretty obvious reason because that is where Frasier lived in his hit sitcom Frasier.

[Desi Lydon]

Ronnie, that is the dumbest reason to support Seattle. I'm all in on New England for one simple reason. Boston is where Frasier lived in the hit sitcom Cheers.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Uh.

[Sports Commentator - Roy Chan]

Costa, sounds like we got ourselves a Frasier Bowl.

[Desi Lydon]

Of course. This is a rematch of the 2015 Frasier Bowl. And if it's anything like that game, by the fourth quarter those players brains will be tossed salad and scrambled eggs. And I'm here for it.

[Sports Commentator - Roy Chan]

Any non Frasier based analysis of the.

Game you'd like to add? No.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Good.

[Desi Lydon]

Moving on from pigskin to whatever animal hockey pucks are made from. The NHL is seeing a huge resurgence thanks to one unlikely bedfellow. The Show Heated Rivalry, which we've been talking about all morning, being credited with a surge in interest for hockey tickets. Stubhub says there has been a 40% spike. 40% in NHL searches since that show debuted. Woo hoo. This is fantastic news. Now, I haven't watched Heated Rivalry, but I love any show about hockey. I can't wait to meet these characters and their devoted wives.

[Sports Commentator - Roy Chan]

Yeah, Costa, I have some bad news for you. The on screen hockey in this show is terrible.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

What?

[Desi Lydon]

Well, at least tell me the characters are gay.

[Sports Commentator - Roy Chan]

Of course they are.

[Desi Lydon]

Great. Then I'm back in. I was sick of having to watch hockey and gay porn on two different screens at the same time. This is much more efficient and it's great for hockey fans.

[Sports Commentator - Roy Chan]

Oh, wrong. It is awful for hockey fans in the stands like me, alright? Because now when I kiss random men on the kiss cam, people will think I'm gay instead of just trying to start a fight. Which brings us to our LGBT Better.

[Desi Lydon]

Norwegian ski jumpers have been suspended from the upcoming Winter Olympics after enlarging the crotch area of their uniform. Some ski jumpers go further, using pumps to manipulate their crotch size so they.

[Michael Urie]

Can fly like a kite.

[Desi Lydon]

What a disgrace. It's one thing to take steroids or gamble on your own games, or hire your idiot boyfriend to take a pipe to your rival's knee, but lying about your dong size? That's where I draw a big. Well, an average sized line, but veiny. Imagine a purple spider web.

[Sports Commentator - Roy Chan]

Okay, enough. Stop telling me about your dick. I prefer text. That way it's searchable. First of all, if lying about your dick is a crime, then lock me and my massive hog right up. This is great for ski jumping, okay? Cause I'm finally gonna tune in. Now, instead of watching to see if the ski jumpers die, I'll be watching to see how big their dicks are right before they die.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Come on.

[Desi Lydon]

Come on, Ronnie. Think of safety here. Some of these ski jumpers are inflating the size of their penises with hyaluronic acid. The only acid that should be anywhere near the penis is lsd. Trust me, I did it. And I was soaring. A great eagle lifted me on its talons and carried me all the way to sleep, where the ghost of Benjamin Franklin shared with me the great universal truths, and when I awoke, I was in a camping tent filled with elderly Chinese tourists. Again, apologies to the Huang family for ruining their reunion.

[Sports Commentator - Roy Chan]

I don't know how to feel about that. Which brings us to our skee balls bet of the night, where Olympic ski jumpers Sven the Dune Worm Christensen take home the gold brought to you by gambling. Gambling? It's probably in the Bible.

[Desi Lydon]

Well, that's all for this edition of Sportswear. Join us next time when we'll debate whether there should be an Autumn Olympics.

[Sports Commentator - Roy Chan]

Oh, Autumn Olympics. I would take the golden leaf peeping.

[Desi Lydon]

No question you wouldn't know the difference between a cherry tree and a quacking you.

[Sports Commentator - Roy Chan]

I'll kiss you all.

[Desi Lydon]

You don't hear anything.

Oh, I'm such a huge fan of your work.

[Michael Urie]

Thank you.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

And ditto crap.

[Michael Urie]

Ditto crap.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

What a world we're living in, right? Oh, God. You're just a bright light. Thank you for being here.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

Thank you.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

You had quite the year last year.

[Michael Urie]

It was a crazy year.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Crazy year. You appeared in O Mary.

[Michael Urie]

Yeah.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

You were nominated for an Emmy for Shrinking.

[Michael Urie]

Yeah.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

And you starred in Richard ii.

[Michael Urie]

Yes, yes. I also lost a dog and a cat.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Oh, I'm so sorry.

[Michael Urie]

It was a murder suicide.

[Guest or Correspondent]

God.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Just up and.

[Michael Urie]

Oh, no, I'm just kidding.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

No.

[Michael Urie]

And another. The deaths had nothing to do with each other.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Oh, Michael Urie. Everyone, I think we can wrap it up now. I think we got it. That was. You can't. You can't top that joke. Oh, my God.

[Michael Urie]

So it's like some real highs and some real lows, but yeah, kind of a crazy year.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

You are such a busy man. Here's my big question is, which loved one are you actively avoiding in your life at work?

[Michael Urie]

All the time.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Just working non stop.

[Michael Urie]

Yeah, yeah. It's great to not be home when you live with someone like Ryan, my partner. He's amazing. He's in the green room.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

I met him. He really is amazing.

[Michael Urie]

He's amazing.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

I know you're lying. He's the best. Most of us fell in love with you from Ugly Betty. Oh, you were such a standout in that show. Thank you. I just heard recently that originally your character was only supposed to be in one episode.

[Michael Urie]

Yeah.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Is that true?

[Michael Urie]

Yeah. So I played Vanessa Williams, assistant on the show. We worked at a fashion magazine and the idea was that she was such a tyrant of a boss that every episode she'd have a new assistant. Like they always quit or got fired. And so I was only in the pilot and I knew that. And, you know, I was a co star. I was not a, you know, series regular or anything. And so because I think because I was. I was also really young, and I think because I thought there was no chance of moving forward with this, I just tried anything. I would do anything and made a lot of big choices. And one of them was. I thought it would be really. Because they always put me right behind Vanessa. You know, when we would come into a room or whatever, I thought it would be really funny if I just sort of physically did her. So, like, if she tossed her hair, I would toss my hair as she sat down so slowly. I would sit down slowly. And she had no idea I was doing that because I was behind her, and someone told her I was doing that. Someone went up and they were like, hey, Vee, you know what that queen's doing behind you? And she was like, what? What? And then she came over to me and she was like, hey, I hear you're doing me behind me.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

And.

[Michael Urie]

I was like. And I was like, I'm gonna get fired. And. And I said, yeah, sorry. I thought it would be funny if I kind of physically emulated you behind you. And she said, that's great. What else can I do that you can do? And she immediately gave me all of this agency, and I'm pitching her ideas, and she's like, stand closer. You'll be in the shot. I didn't know where the cameras were, and they put me in the cast photo by the end of the pilot.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Oh, yeah, they did. Yeah.

[Sports Commentator - Roy Chan]

It was so special. So special.

[Michael Urie]

She's amazing, but she's the great.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Oh, that makes me love her even more. And you for take. It's just also such a great thing to remember. Take big swings, make big choices. Like, take advantage. And it totally paid off. Yeah.

[Michael Urie]

Cause they told us, you know, when I was getting out of drama school, they were like. They were like, nobody ever gets a series regular job off of a guest star. So when you go to a guest star, just do a guest star. Don't swing for the fences. It'll never work. It'll never happen. It did.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Juilliard. You're wrong. You're wrong.

[Desi Lydon]

You're wrong.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

You're wrong about everything.

[Desi Lydon]

Juilliard.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

And now you're starring. I love this show so much. I feel like this show has really met the moment. It just feels like a nice, warm hug when we all need it so desperately. It's so funny. It's laugh out loud funny. It's emotionally resonant. The show isn't afraid to explore really challenging topics like mental health and grief, single parenting, living with illness for those who haven't seen the show. Tell us what it's about.

[Michael Urie]

It's about this guy Brian, who's really handsome.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Obviously, it's about. By the way, that's a very Brian thing.

[Michael Urie]

It's about this therapist who's grieving the loss of his wife. When we meet these characters, it's been a year since the death of Tia, and all of us had a connection to her. Some, you know, married daughter, best friends.

[Desi Lydon]

And.

[Michael Urie]

And we're trying to pick up the pieces. And so it's kind of a hangout show about this guy Jimmy, played by Jason Segel. The amazing Jason Segel. His family, his neighbors, his workmates. I play his best friend. We've been best friends since college. And they're therapists, so Jason Segel, Jessica Williams of the Daily Show.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Yes. Our girl.

[Michael Urie]

Yep. And Harrison Ford, who you may have heard of, are therapists.

[Guest or Correspondent]

Yes.

[Michael Urie]

And so every, you know, every episode, we're dealing with mental health. Our own, their patients, theirs. And it feels like it came out, you know, it came around at a really good time. It came out sort of at the end of the pandemic. And we all were kind of given permission to talk about our mental health during the pandemic, I think, and the taboos were sort of going away around that. And so here's, you know, not just a show about mental health, but we have, like, an action hero talking about his feelings.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Right.

[Michael Urie]

And, you know, Jason Segel, who's like a bro, talking about his feelings. And I hear from so many people on the street or on social media, like, straight guys who tell me, and that's new for me, and, like, go, go on. It means how much it means to them, how much the show means to them. That's really. And so now here we come. Season three is out tomorrow.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Yes.

[Michael Urie]

And.

[Desi Lydon]

Thank you.

[Michael Urie]

And it feels like we need a hug again.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

I know.

[Michael Urie]

It feels like we could use our hug.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

And we desperately do. Yeah, we desperately do. Your character, Brian, has a baby this season. What kind of father do you think Brian is gonna be? Brian, don't hold back.

[Desi Lydon]

Brian is.

[Michael Urie]

Well, Brian himself is a baby, so he's gonna have to learn to be an adult. But I think his greatest quality is that he knows it takes a village. And he's got the greatest village. So he leans on Jimmy and Paul and Derek as dads. He leans on Liz as a mom. He leans on Gabby, Jessica's character, as a shrink. And he knows that he can't do it himself. He also has an amazing husband in Charlie, played by Devin Kawaoka, who is so wonderful and so his best quality is, even though he puts himself first all the time, his best quality is knowing that he's gonna need all these people around him.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Yes. I heard that you had a fan come up to you and diagnose your character. Oh, yes, yes.

[Michael Urie]

Oh, yeah.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Yeah.

[Michael Urie]

Somebody came up.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

To me.

[Michael Urie]

This is. Somebody came up.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Wait. I have to say before, for those who haven't seen it, his character is so lovable and hilarious and funny. Steals all the scenes, but also.

[Sports Commentator - Roy Chan]

That is all.

[Michael Urie]

But it's a lot.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

It's a lot.

[Michael Urie]

She came up and she was like, I'm a shrink, and I love shrinking, which is a great compliment. She was like, and I love your character. He's such a narcissist. And I was like, is he. I had no idea.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

And then you went back to Bill Lawrence, who created the show. You were like, is he a narcissist?

[Michael Urie]

I was like, am I playing a narcissist? And they're like, oh. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And then I was like, have I been doing it right all this time? And then I went to my therapist and I was like, am I a narcissist? She said, nobody who asks is actually a narcissist.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

I asked my therapist the same thing. Yeah. Where it saves it. Oh, my God, that's so funny. So when Jason Segal was here last.

[Michael Urie]

Yeah.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

He was talking about working with Harrison Ford and said that Harrison Ford gave him a compliment about his dick.

[Sports Commentator - Roy Chan]

What?

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

True story. He did say that on this show. What is the nicest thing that Harrison Ford ever said about you?

[Michael Urie]

Great butthole.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Oh, yeah. I was hoping you'd come through with that. He's gonna be so happy when he goes back and watches it.

[Michael Urie]

Mom, dad. No, obviously that didn't happen.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

He.

[Michael Urie]

Well, he does it. You know, he's withholding. Harrison Ford is generally a withholding person. But when he. Every once in a while, he will ask me something about myself every now and again. Every now and again. And it's. And because he's with Hol, you know, he's developed this really, like, hilarious, cantankerous Persona that we see in interviews, and it's really funny. And, like, he has everyone on set in stitches because he's so cranky, but it's not real, and we all know it's not real. He loves working. He loves being with us. He loves this character. And, you know, he will give us. When you get a smile, it's just like. It melts your entire.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Oh, I Bet.

[Michael Urie]

And he. I think, like, he will always ask me about theater.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Aw.

[Michael Urie]

Because he knows I do a lot of theater. During every break, I go and do theater. You're back on Broadway. Tell me everything. And it just means the world, like, that He's. He, you know, wants to know, but really good actor. And I've learned so much from working with him. He knows the camera so, so well. He, like, is always talking to the camera. The camera department.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Where is this.

[Michael Urie]

This a cowboy?

[Desi Lydon]

Is this.

[Michael Urie]

You know, he's always, like, checking in with them. And I'm always like. I mean, Vanessa Williams told me the way the camera was 20 years ago. And I still don't know. I still don't really know. And I'm like, oh, yeah, I should know this. Yeah.

[Desi Lydon]

Way more.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

You're not supposed to look in it. No, he's doing it all wrong.

[Michael Urie]

Cause I'm in the theater, I'm cheating to every camera. You know, whenever there's a camera, I'm like, you know, whatever the angle is, I'm looking at it. And he's so good about that and treats every scene like it's new, you know, like, he doesn't rest on his laurels ever.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

I love hearing that. I love it. Makes me love and respect him even more. So season three premieres tomorrow.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

Yeah.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

And we also found out, just some news a little bit ago, there's gonna be a season four.

[Michael Urie]

Yes.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Congratulations.

[Desi Lydon]

Yeah, we just got picked up. Thank you.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Just got picked up.

[Michael Urie]

So cool.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

It's so exciting.

[Michael Urie]

It's so cool. It's so nice to know that, like, there's more, obviously. And especially right before the premiere, we get to find out and everyone gets to know.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

So thrilled to hear. I cannot wait to watch. Do you have any expectations for Brian? Where would you like to see Brian go next season?

[Michael Urie]

Well, it's so interesting because I don't know, like, how old the baby will be.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Like, how far they skip ahead.

[Desi Lydon]

Yeah.

[Michael Urie]

Like, how far are we gonna skip ahead? Are we gonna pick right up? Does that mean we get new babies? Because I really imprinted on the baby actors we had. Like, they would bring these babies. Cause they're like little babies. And they bring these babies in, and I really. I would, like, really look into their eye. It's just like. It's just a baby. Like, they're not acting, they're just babying. And it's such a great thing for an actor to, like, have, you know, like, that thing won't tell me a lie. This thing will be what it's sort of like, you know, like, this is a mug, you know?

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

That is the most Juilliard thing you have ever said, by the way. This guy clearly graduated from Juilliard.

[Michael Urie]

Every time there was a scene with a baby, they would be like, do you want the baby in the crib so we can shoot it out and you can, you know, then focus on the scene? And I was like, no, give me the baby. I want to hold the baby. I'm better with the baby.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

I want to smell the baby.

[Michael Urie]

I want to smell the baby. I want the baby to poop on me.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Yeah, commit it. Yeah, that's real commitment.

[Michael Urie]

But we had a break once in shooting where we didn't see the baby for like six weeks. And when they brought them back, it was the same babies. They were totally different.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Right?

[Michael Urie]

This is the thing about babies.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Yeah, tell them. Tell them that they're not babies.

[Michael Urie]

The thing about babies is they change all the time.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

They grow, they grow. They get bigger. They get bigger.

[Michael Urie]

Their faces change. I was like, is this. Wait a minute, is this Eliora?

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Yeah.

[Michael Urie]

Did you bring me an imposter baby? And they're like, no, that's her. That's how big she is.

[Host - Daily Show (possibly Trevor Noah or a fictional host named Jack Lytic)]

Yeah, they grow, they develop. And then one day they turn on you and they treat you like shit. They treat you like shit and they stop thinking you're cool. I'm just kidding. My son never thought I was cool. I'm so excited. I cannot wait to watch this next season. I'm so happy for you. Thank you for being here.

[Michael Urie]

So fun, such a delight. Thanks for having us.
