10:09 am
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
10:10 am
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)
10:11 am
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.

10:12 am
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.
