00:00:02.000 Okay, and action.
00:00:05.000 My name is Crowder, commander of Letterwood Crowder, leader.
00:00:09.000 So sketches, a lot more goes into them than it might seem.
00:00:13.000 It's way more involved than I thought it would be.
00:00:17.000 It starts off with the writers.
00:00:18.000 I do write sketches that screw with people personally, like Gerald.
00:00:25.000 Wardrobe, props.
00:00:26.000 I mean, I freaked out when I got here and I saw the production level.
00:00:29.000 I mean, just the wardrobe.
00:00:31.000 I've done shows at NBC and ABC. They don't have that much wardrobe.
00:00:35.000 Visual effects.
00:00:36.000 I didn't realize what everyone here was capable of.
00:00:38.000 And so I was writing things, like, oh, we can't do that.
00:00:41.000 Can't do that.
00:00:42.000 And then Johnny Boyd would be like, why not?
00:00:43.000 I'm like, oh, because, well, I mean, it's got these multiple shots and it's part of a movie.
00:00:47.000 It's a parody and we got to bring this.
00:00:49.000 And he's like, that's not for us to figure out.
00:00:53.000 Okay, we'll see if that gets made, and then sure enough, it's amazing.
00:00:56.000 I'm like, what?
00:00:58.000 There's so much that goes into a 20, 30 second clip on here.
00:01:02.000 Wow.
00:01:05.000 At it!
00:01:05.000 It's your friend Colonel Slanders again!
00:01:08.000 We've done so many good things here.
00:01:09.000 What was the one when he was my psychiatrist?
00:01:11.000 Sinead O'Connor, who I couldn't help but picture in the back of my mind as the many that Nick DePaulo saw in my Rorschach test.
00:01:21.000 I'm sorry.
00:01:21.000 You see again in two months?
00:01:27.000 I like the bad monies a lot.
00:01:28.000 That's fun because I get to be a little wild.
00:01:35.000 Take a lot of hits.
00:01:43.000 I do take a lot of hits.
00:01:44.000 I do a lot of falls.
00:01:45.000 I think physical comedy is funny.
00:01:47.000 Billy the Magician is probably my favorite in recent years.
00:01:50.000 I love getting to watch Josh get smashed over the head with a bottle and that magician's sleazy laugh.
00:01:59.000 And the best part is we've got to order those bottles.
00:02:03.000 We have a lot of stuff we do for each of those.
00:02:04.000 So every time we do that bid, it's about a $30 bid at least.
00:02:08.000 Oh, the other thing is Crowder with his impressions.
00:02:11.000 I know we did a few boys.
00:02:12.000 Back in the day, someone like Kamala Harris would say, I did.
00:02:15.000 Sesame seed bun and french fries.
00:02:17.000 But now you have Donald Trump going like, oh, she loves french fries.
00:02:20.000 She can't get enough of them.
00:02:22.000 She just does the machine. 1.00
00:02:23.000 I guess french fries, onion rings, Popeyes!
00:02:27.000 I can't believe how talented he is. 1.00
00:02:30.000 And I'm not just kissing his ass, because it's way too hairy. 1.00
00:02:33.000 I'm November 5th. 1.00
00:02:34.000 Don't interrupt, Macho Man.
00:02:36.000 November 5th.
00:02:36.000 The choice is clear.
00:02:38.000 You want to have the Don or one of these crutches right there.
00:02:45.000 I could just toss anything at Steven, and he will just run with it with an impression.
00:02:51.000 CEOs financially armed to the teeth.
00:02:54.000 I'm doing a Brando thing, and they replaced me with Josh, who was doing a way better brand.
00:02:59.000 That was the best one yet.
00:03:02.000 I'm out of here.
00:03:04.000 You talking to me?
00:03:05.000 Oh, and I gotta say this.
00:03:06.000 The Nick Dipp, press secretary.
00:03:07.000 He also was the first guy to go see the midget. 0.98
00:03:10.000 Nick has no idea what he's getting himself into.
00:03:13.000 He just goes in there, they roll clips, and he rips.
00:03:16.000 And that's amazing to watch.
00:03:18.000 The view.
00:03:20.000 I love the view.
00:03:22.000 It's like a horse view.
00:03:23.000 We literally just find clips of people asking questions and then let Nick answer.
00:03:29.000 And it's so funny. 0.98
00:03:31.000 Don Lemon have to walk around in a gay nightclub and assless chaps still have a gun on his trip. 1.00
00:03:37.000 He does that one take. 0.99
00:03:39.000 The 20 questions, 20 answers, one take, and then he's out of there.
00:03:42.000 And I'm like, dude, what a pro.
00:03:45.000 I can't believe I get to do that.
00:03:47.000 Yeah, dead silence.
00:03:49.000 Just what I thought.
00:03:50.000 There's not another place in the industry where you could just change your role or say, hey, I want to try mixing the show today, or I want to run audio, or, you know, you get to contribute, you get to be on cam.
00:04:07.000 I never imagined writing for a show.
00:04:10.000 It was never really the goal for me to be a writer.
00:04:12.000 - I'm farted.
00:04:13.000 I laughed I'm farted.
00:04:16.000 - It's a dream I didn't know I had come true. - Three, two, and action.
00:04:23.000 There are a lot of times, especially when it comes to advertisements, that we're finding we're shooting for a new sponsor or something the day before it's going to run.
00:04:34.000 So we'll shoot it early in the afternoon and we'll end up turning a spot for the next morning.
00:04:39.000 Not the bees!
00:04:40.000 Not the bees!
00:04:43.000 Don't let the IRS take advantage of you.
00:04:46.000 When it comes to the sketches of the show, I don't think people understand how much work goes into producing.
00:04:53.000 I've learned a whole lot about what goes on behind the scenes over the last, really call it three, three and a half years.
00:05:01.000 Look at that, look, get it.
00:05:03.000 There's definitely...
00:05:04.000 Yes, we can sell that.
00:05:05.000 The lighting, the boom, the costumes, the makeup, you name it.
00:05:09.000 And it's one of those things where you watch everybody sort of do their part and when everyone does it right, it comes together and it's an awesome thing.
00:05:18.000 Everything from the keying, the compositing, the sound design.
00:05:21.000 Stream!
00:05:22.000 Street! Street! 0.99
00:05:24.000 These are things that typically teams of people would take months and months to achieve, and we do it in record time with a skeleton crew, and it's because they're all rock stars.
00:05:34.000 Make way for the emperor.
00:05:35.000 Make it close.
00:05:37.000 We're trying to do all of it.
00:05:38.000 We're trying to be factually accurate.
00:05:40.000 We're trying to be funny.
00:05:41.000 And then you're trying to make sure that you're presenting information that people can use.
00:05:45.000 And to do all of those things and on top of that...
00:05:50.000 Record a bunch of sketches.
00:05:51.000 Absolutely rounding.
00:05:53.000 I don't want any foot fetish people getting my feet.
00:05:55.000 It's just everybody's so different but mixes so well.
00:05:58.000 It's a lot of fun and you know we get to tease Gerald all the time.
00:06:02.000 And what a thick skin that guy's got.
00:06:05.000 You know what?
00:06:06.000 It's a great room.
00:06:07.000 First of all, Steven can slip into any character at will, no matter what we're talking about.
00:06:11.000 I kind of...
00:06:12.000 It's sort of touch and go with the Jews right now. 0.98
00:06:15.000 And Gerald is smart as hell.
00:06:17.000 There's always going to be an adult in the room.
00:06:19.000 She saved the Jews!
00:06:21.000 I can't figure him out.
00:06:22.000 I take pride in being able to read people.
00:06:25.000 I've known him for, what, a couple years now?
00:06:27.000 I have no idea.
00:06:28.000 He'll get mad at me if I make a joke.
00:06:30.000 He'll go, oh, like it's shocking.
00:06:31.000 And then he'll hit a Holocaust joke in there.
00:06:34.000 I can't figure him out.
00:06:37.000 Josh is a stand-up.
00:06:38.000 Josh is naturally funny and he can do characters.
00:06:41.000 And action.
00:06:42.000 Hey, I'm Colonel Slam.
00:06:44.000 And the guys that work the... 0.53
00:06:45.000 I don't want to forget about the guys that work the soundboard and all that other sh**. 0.99
00:06:48.000 Shasha, still not nearly as gay, but also gay. 0.99
00:06:52.000 Options are limited. 0.97
00:06:54.000 Noodles just jumped in there.
00:06:55.000 I was in a rhythm.
00:06:56.000 Sorry.
00:06:59.000 They were all like guys' guys.
00:07:02.000 And I think it makes for a good mix.
00:07:04.000 Like someone on an island who hasn't eaten in a while and your friend turns into a hot dog?
00:07:08.000 Yes.
00:07:11.000 Guys, do you have a white mic, please?
00:07:15.000 Comedy's probably one of the most important things that the world is desperately in need of right now.
00:07:21.000 Okay, it's for the greater good.
00:07:23.000 Bye!
00:07:26.000 For me, the best part of working here is the challenge.
00:07:29.000 You know, doing all that we do and the time that we have it.
00:07:32.000 I get to solve problems all day.
00:07:35.000 I get to do it with people that I adore.
00:07:41.000 It's more like a family here, which sounds so cheesy.
00:07:46.000 It's the worst thing to say.
00:07:48.000 Yeah, I live with these people.
00:07:50.000 They're my friends.
00:07:52.000 I think that secretly people do like me, although I am the only person on staff that Joe Lewis has bitten repeatedly.
00:08:02.000 I didn't even head or look in Joe Lewis's direction and this happened.
00:08:08.000 Scaredy.
00:08:09.000 When I'm on stage, I love it.
00:08:10.000 Doesn't matter where, whatever.
00:08:12.000 This is just nothing but fun.
00:08:13.000 It's great.
00:08:14.000 Doing something I love.
00:08:15.000 Doing something that matters.
00:08:16.000 Let my kids see something that they can do someday.
00:08:21.000 Something that's actually realistic.
00:08:22.000 I never had that growing up.
00:08:23.000 I never thought it was realistic to be an entertainer for a living.
00:08:26.000 I thought that was crazy.
00:08:28.000 I think that's important to see.
00:08:29.000 See your parents work hard and get what they want.
00:08:33.000 Rather than what I saw in my father.
00:08:36.000 Work hard and get what you get.
00:08:38.000 I don't think many people get that sort of opportunity.
00:08:42.000 I can't speak!
00:08:43.000 You look at people that hate their jobs and they go out there and they're just making ends to me.
00:08:48.000 I'm just blessed and lucky to be doing what I'm doing.
00:08:57.000 Cut! 1.00
00:09:00.000 Oh, what are you going to do right now?
00:09:01.000 Are you going?
00:09:04.000 Then we're gonna hang out in the Sesame Street set.
00:09:09.000 Can I ask you a personal question?
00:09:12.000 No.
00:09:13.000 Can you hear that, Billy?
00:09:15.000 George's a Greek.
00:09:16.000 I hate that nickname, by the way.
00:09:17.000 Yeah, anything you've written that even you think is too much, too dark for this show?
00:09:21.000 Oh, no.
00:09:22.000 I haven't even touched the tip of the iceberg.
00:09:25.000 I'm all for pushing boundaries.
00:09:26.000 I mean, I wrote a sketch about six months back when my grandmother was... ...shredded. 0.92
00:09:39.000 So...
00:09:40.000 I mean, it didn't air.
00:09:44.000 Can you do this?
00:09:45.000 Can you interview me in front of Oscar the Grouch's house?
00:09:47.000 That'd be fantastic.
00:09:48.000 All right. 1.00
00:09:49.000 Seven and a half, bitch. 1.00
00:09:51.000 What? 1.00
00:09:52.000 So if I actually showed my daughter those sketches, she's ten.
00:09:54.000 Now she wants me to do a sketch with her where she gets to hit me with a glass bottle, so I'm not gonna do that. 1.00
00:10:02.000 Because I could kick her ass, dude. 1.00
00:10:03.000 She's like this high. 1.00
00:10:05.000 We get the f***ing f*** to the f***. 0.99
00:10:08.000 Can I say that? 0.99
00:10:09.000 I think I did.
00:10:10.000 I mean, I rack at least, probably, on a slow day a dozen HR violations.
00:10:16.000 Which one? 0.98
00:10:16.000 The f***ing left! 0.98
00:10:18.000 Yeah, nice clap! 1.00
00:10:20.000 Let's f*** it! 1.00
00:10:20.000 Probably loses day one. 1.00
00:10:22.000 What do you think that looks like?
00:10:24.000 Looks like me going to the gun store.
00:10:28.000 Do you think that a Democrat victory here trusts Pat for a female president? 1.00
00:10:34.000 He's a f***ing b***h on wheels. 0.99
00:10:36.000 Nick, how long have you not had the use of your plate? 1.00
00:10:42.000 I told them you weren't going to ask about that.
00:10:49.000 You good?
00:10:50.000 All right, kids.
00:10:51.000 Anything else you want to add?
00:10:52.000 I do.
00:10:52.000 I'd like not to do the show anymore.
00:10:55.000 Gerald's really bugging me.
00:10:58.000 I hope it lasts.
00:11:00.000 That's all.
00:11:00.000 I need the cash.
00:11:02.000 All right.
00:11:03.000 So you and I decided to do something special on election night.
00:11:08.000 To be able to restore people's confidence in an election.
00:11:12.000 Accessing data and information and systems that no other company on the internet has really done before.
00:11:17.000 What we're doing is f***ing dangerous, man.
00:11:19.000 There's liability that comes with that, obviously.
00:11:20.000 I don't think other people want to take on that risk.
00:11:22.000 We're putting everything we got into this.
00:11:25.000 The important thing is to have an informed and enlightened audience.
00:11:27.000 You need accurate data.
00:11:29.000 There's red and there's blue, you see?
00:11:31.000 We're trying to make a difference in the way elections are reported.
00:11:34.000 I think this is going to be a historic moment.
00:11:36.000 This is sort of a watershed moment.
00:11:38.000 Do you think Trump's gonna win?
