(cheers and applause) stephen, stephen, stephen! stephen, stephen, stephen! stephen, stephen, stephen! stephen, stephen, stephen! >> stephen: thank you ladies and gentlemen. thank you so much. welcome to the report. good to have you with us, folks. (cheers and applause) thank you so much. folks, i'm so glad you're here. i'm so glad you have got love and you've got energy tonightment i come out here night after night, i don't do this show-- i don't do this show for 9 praise.

i don't do this show for the money. i do this show to make your life better. (cheers and applause) >> jon: . >> stephen: now folks, there's so much horrible news out there right now. the ebola epidemic is spreading. isis continues their reign of terror and evidently, and i did not see this coming, the nfl employs some violent people. (laughter) i know. who could predict that? but no matter how rough the news gets, you know what they say, when the going gets tough, the tough escape into a world of fantasy. and i am personally a huge fan of the genre from the lord of the rings, to the chronicles of narnia to the notebooks of galileo. i mean the earth goes around the sun? please, i got two eyes, i can see. how did joshua stop the sun at jericho, come on. my love of the forum goes all the way back to high school. i used to feel so alone.

it was just-- (cheers and applause) >> stephen: ladies, where were you when i was 16? back then it was just me an my 20 sided die. in fact, that die was my prom date. i did not get lucky that night. she managed to roll a save throwing against my magic wand. (laughter) but things are different now. the fantasy market is blowing up. in fact, the twilight series alone has earned over $5.7 billion. to put that in perspective, if you laid $5.7 billion end-to-end, it would still be more interesting than any of the twilight movies. (applause) but superheroes, folks, but superheroes are the biggest caped cash cows. dc has made $8.9 million at the box office an marvel's movies have doubled that, proving once again it is more profitable to be a defense contractor than a journalist.

well, daddy wants in on the sci-fi santa see cash-nado and i recently had the good fortune to acquire the next blockbuster franchise. i'm talking, of course, about the adventures of prince hawkcat. okay. this is the most popular human animal hybrid fantasy franchise ever published in esperonto. i can tell by your reaction that you are huge fans. so i feel good. (cheers and applause) i feel pretty good about investing my lifesavings in this thing. of course prince hawkcat is a character everyone can kre late to. half hawk, half cat, paw prints. of course hawks an cats are natural enemies so if you show him a mer rohr, will attack himself. now all i have to do is slap together a movie based on this thing, and get those tickets in to sweaty palms

worldwide. and what better place, come on, people are excited and what better place to do market research than the mecca of sci-fi branding and dweeb-on-dweeb dry humping -- >> comiccon, the holy grail of the coveted 18 to 34 nerd demographic. thousands of people wearing costumes or kosplay as their favorite characters. some of them spookily accurate. in order to reach these people, i would have to become one of them. (laughter) (cheers and applause) >> i am hawkcat. i took to the streets surrounded by hidden cameras, ready to fend off hawkcat's adoring fans. >> here i am, hawkcat. can you guess who i am?

>> you are obviously eagle -- >> very close, eagle is close. >> not starhawk. >> tell me, please. >> stephen: what else do i look like besides a hawk. >> nothing, i don't know, man. i don't want to-- . >> stephen: whiskers. >> okay. >> put them together. are you so close. >> hawkcat. >> stephen: hawkcat, prince hawkcat. >> oh, okay, now i see -- >> sounds good. >> stephen: thanks, like a cat can lick himself but unfortunately he has a back which is extremely painful. yeah. >> can you guess who i am? >> starhawk. >> no, do you know who i am? >> no. >> stephen: do you know who i am? >> no. >> do you know who starhawk is? >> yes! >> stephen: [bleep] you. i don't know who this starhawk douchebag, is no recognition on the street but i knew all that would change when i got in the convention center, the belly

of the geekbeast. these people were the hard-core hawkcat fans. hawkcat. i fit right in. >> you can tell me who i am. >> i don't know. >> do you know who i am? >> i don't, no. >> who character am i playing. >> i don't know. >> hawkcat didn't expect to pay 29.99 for doughnuts. male hawkcat can't remember hawkcat's password. >> it was magical to walk the very same carpet that previously hosted the american neurological association annual expo. prince hawkcat restored his dwindling magical powers by cannibalizing a distant cousin in the form of a fried chicken sandwich. >> hawkcat not birdman. >> a cat but also a hawk. >> yes.

>> how hard could this be? i've got ears and a god dam back. >> four letters, it's either hawk or cat. >> hawkcat. >> stephen: yes! hawkcat. >> now that the crowd knew that hawkcat was in the house, everyone wanted a piece. >> what are you dressed as? >> meleficent. >> stephen: really? who are you more excited to have your picture with, me or her. >> you. >> you probably should go. i have this corner right now. i must say hawkcat likes the hawkkitty. meow. who are you? oh, xena, yeah, i see, excellent. so what are you? >> i guess i'm a-- worker. >> great. really beautiful. green mile? >> you could be the new green mile that is awesome. >> prince hawkcat had taken comiccon by storm. now it was time to man my booth and sell my movie.

first up, a prince. a battle for all. pbd. science, magic, based on the hawkcat series. >> cawmeow. >> come to me, subject. hawkcat, get your hawkcat. >> soon i had a crowd. >> what is this movie about? >> this is about a boy, it is in the distant future n 2019, based on princehawk. prince hawkcat series of novels. >> do you know any chinese? >> not chinese? i know the chinese people go see movies and try to figure out which ones the chinese people saw. >> can i ask you which titles you like better, tales beyond dimension. terror doubt rot me. ted's big day, or the bionic dentist. >> are you chinese?

>> he's japanese. >> all right, looking for chinese people. thank you. >> no one has ever heard of it. >> not heard of prinses hawkcat, no. >> response was muted to tbd -- -- but luckily hi also invested in a animated christmas movie called manan manana-manana. and i knew how to sell it to eye room full of rocket-- robots and wiz ars. >> have you accepted jesus christ as your lord and saviour. >> you have thought about accepting jesus christ as your lord and saviour. >> have you is accepted jesus christ as your lord and saviour. >> no. >> would you be interested. >> not today. >> have you seen the veggie tales this is like veg yeaux tales. but with fruit instead of vegetables and banana time travel and it's a man. it has a christian message. yeah, are you guys into that? >> pay dirt. >> story of jesus christ, told from the point of view of a banana.

>> no, the banana is friends with jesus, starts off as a story about jessus as a little boy. he's really lonely, because he's god and people don't understand them so he prayed to god for a best friend and god turns a ban anena into a man and he is a manana and they have fun together. and then later, cut to in the weren't day there is an atheist, okay. and es a a lawyer, clarence darrow, evolution lawyer. and he wants jesus not to have saved mankind so he gets in a time machine and he goes back to try to defend jesus against pontius pilot so jess you-- jesus won't be crucified to save mankind and he is like it is so superimportant you don't win this case. and he is like i'm to the going to be a country lawyer, but i happen to know it's my job. i took an oath. >> all right. >> so-- they get him off, then they keep him in the

time machine and bring jess to us the present-day. the atheist lawyer thinks he's won but what happened is, is that back in jesus's time they end up crucifying the banana, okay. and all of mankind is saved by the banannar because he knew all of jesus's teachings and saved everybody anyway. roll opening credits. that's the beginning of the film. >> we still are christian but we worship the ban an app. the banana is saved. in the sequel he fights crime and it's a musical. the whole thing is a musical. >> after a long day of pitching my movie, i now had the input i needed from the experts. >> can i see your permit. unfortunately i did not have a permit for my booth. (cheers and applause)

folks, since my lifesavings are tied up in both of these movies, i've decided to blend them in one new film, prince manana hawk-nana. its first part is what we have already filmed manana, the second is the story boards for hawkcat and the last two hours is prince hawkcat watching guardians of the galaxy in a movie theatre. we'll be right back.

welcome back. folks, i'm a big fan, thank you. i'm a huge fan of the pentagon's program of giving surplus military gear to local police departments. it's the only way to keep the peace in the unstable tribal region of suburban st. louis. but some folks say police departments shouldn't have all these equipment and i agree because it should be going to our schools.

>> new controversy tonight over this military grade armour veekd now in the hands of san diego unified school district school district. >> hey, the san diego school district needs that mrap to defend itself in case los angeles school districts get grenade launchers. which they did. besides, as the san diego school district police chief explained, it's not as scary as it looks. >> there will be medical supplies in the vehicle. there will be teddy bears in the vehicle. >> stephen: what a valuable life lesson, kids, when you see an urban military strike vehicle, run towards it for the free teddy bears. and the district, the district has taken great pains to make sure the mrap does not scare the kids. san diego unified school district is going to enlist its shop class to give it a paint job, see? now it just looks like a mine resistant ambush

protected ambulance. only this one doesn't need a siren because they can just drive right over the traffic. folks, i say this is how we can reassure everyone about having military vehicles rolling down main street america. because as harmless as this mrap looks here it could look even more harmlesser. i say we mount a giant hot dog on the roof. now it's no longer an 18 ton armoured military transport, it is just the oscar myer assault weiner. or even better, people love it. people love it. or even better, we attach a speaker to the top and play music to turn if into an ice cream truck. you know what they say, ice cream, you scream, we all scream when this thing comes down the street. we'll be right back. down the street. we'll be right back.
