is on the loose again. he'll be even more desperate now. it's going to get worse. we can't destroy him, can we? i don't know. i guess... it's up to the whites. ♪ ♪ [ cheers and applause ] announcer: from the gramercy theatre in new york city, it's "the daily show's the yearly show 2017" with trevor noah. ♪ [ cheers and applause ] welcome, everybody. welcome, everybody.

thank you so much for coming out. take a seat. thank you so much for coming out. welcome, everybody. i'm trevor noah, and this is "the daily show's" year-end special, "the yearly show." welcome to it. this is a little something we decided to put together to wrap up the year. the year is not over, but we're all gonna die, so we figured why not just do this? it was a crazy year, 2017 -- sexual harassment, russians, russians sexually harassing the election, something like that. now the republicans, they got to work hard. they got to get rid of obamacare. all right? because they named it obamacare. that's probably the most fun thing about american politics for me is that half of it is branding. that's all it is. the republicans can't fix obamacare because they named it obamacare because, if they fix it, then obamacare works, and they can't have obamacare work, but it's not really obamacare. it's the affordable care act, but they named it obamacare because they knew when they said it their voters would hear, "black medicine," and they wouldn't want that. what they didn't realize is that black medicine

can fix white cancer, and so now they're in a sticky situation. and all it is is branding, right? obamacare is a genius, genius name to give it because it doesn't sound like a national healthcare plan. obamacare sounds like you're gonna hurt your knee, and barack is gonna walk in the room and kiss it better. that's all it sounds like. like, you're gonna be like, "oh, i think it's broken!" he's gonna come in, like, "right. uh, bring it in. uh, bring it in. uh, come on. come on. bring it in. mm-wah. there you go. all right. go on. get out of here. uh, go on, now." that's all it sounds like, obamacare. it's all branding. that's really all it is, political branding, and say what you want about the republicans. they are brilliant at political branding. democrats, nice people, have no clue how to brand, none whatsoever. like, they just throw things against the wall, see what sticks. "resist!" "what are we, uh, resisting?" "everything."

republicans know, you know? every single issue they brand connects with you emotionally, you know? gun control, they're gonna control your guns. i don't even have a gun, and i'm like, "no!" every issue, pro-life or pro-choice, that's another one. that's a powerful one. i remember the first time someone asked me that. they're like, "trevor, are you pro-life or pro-choice?" i was like, "uh, both?" because, like, that's a trick question. how do you say you're not pro-life? you're an asshole. that's what you are. are you pro-life? "no. i'm not. no. i don't like life. no. no life for me. i'll have life on the side, thank you. no life, no." it's a trick question. you're an asshole because i am. i'm both. i believe that human beings have the right to exist, and i also believe that women have the right to decide what happens on the inside of their bodies. that's what i believe. all right? but it's a slick move. it's political branding. yeah, pro-life. you answer it in the negative, you look like an asshole. that's what it is. it's simple branding.

look, i'll give you an example now. we can do it in this room. all the men in this room, raise your hand. if you identify as a man, get your hand up, all the way up, all the way up. hold it up there. now, only drop your hand if you have stopped masturbating. you see? you were like, "oh, wait. oh. oh. i don't want my wife to think i'm a quitter. oh." that's all it is, and ladies, the hand they had up, that's the hand, so branding is what got republicans in the sticky situation. that's all it is. that's how they got here. yeah, but obama did his thing, man. barack obama did his thing. he was smarter than people gave him credit for. you know, we got to interview the president on "the daily show," which was really exciting, you know, and, obviously, this was the last year that america had its first and last black president, you know? i remember when we got a call. i got a call at "the daily show," and they were like, "trevor, would you like to interview the president of the united states?" and i was like, "do you ask stupid questions?" it's like, "of course i want to interview the president,"

and we got to go to the white house to interview barack obama, you know? and we set everything up in this special room, right? it's literally opposites, the oval office, and we sit there, and everything, everything is steeped in history. every piece is owned by a former president, and we're all sitting there waiting for the president to walk in, and they don't give us an exact time, right, for his safety. they just gave us a window, sort of like a cable guy. we're all watching the door waiting for barack to walk in, and then he popped in behind us, scared the [bleep] out of everybody. he was just like, "hello," and we're like "ah!" because there was another door. no one told us, again. he just pops in, and he was really nice. he greeted everyone. he was like, "hello, everybody good? you guys good? how are you doing? everybody good? camera guy, yes? sound guy, how are you doing? how are you doing?" and he turned, he looked at me. he's like, "now, trevor, you good?" and i was like, "he knows my name." i wanted to melt. oh, man. you should have seen him. he's just, like, he floats it over, you know? yeah, because he can walk. i don't know. you don't walk. you move differently when you've got nuclear weapons, you know?

you've just got this thing. he came over, and he sat down. he looked over at me and was like, "trevor, you good?" i said, "i don't know if i'm good, mr. president. i'm a little bit nervous right now." he was like, "come on. why are you nervous? why are you nervous?" i said, "well, because i don't want to mess up and bring a brother down with me, you know?" he was like, "don't be nervous, trevor. you can't bring me down. i'm on my way out." and he sounded so cool as well. he was just like, "i'm on my way out," and he was. he was on his way out. yeah. next time we saw him was the last time anyone saw him as president, when he was giving that final speech in chicago. he give that powerful speech. he stood up there at the lectern. it felt like his inauguration all over again. he was like, "as americans, we got to remember that not every issue is red or blue, that at times, we still got to fight. we got to fight for freedom. we got to fight for liberty. we got to fight for the american dream. we got to fight." and then the next time we saw him, he was kitesurfing with richard branson.

"i thought you said we were gonna fight!" "i'm fighting these waves. you do you." it's a crazy time to be around, though, 2017. what an insane year, hmm? the year of donald j. trump. yeah. you know, i'm not going to lie to you. i can process donald trump logically, but, emotionally, for me, he's a paradox. all right? every day i wake up terrified at the notion that he's president of the most powerful nation in the world, but i must admit, every day, i also wake up knowing he's going to make me laugh. there is terror, and there is joy, and i don't know how to feel about these two things. yeah. because, like, do you ever stop for a moment and think to yourself? like, it's the most terrifying thing, and it's the funniest thing at the same time. you know what it's like? it feels like there's a giant asteroid headed towards the earth, but it's shaped like a penis. like, i think i'm gonna die, but i know i'm gonna laugh. and you ever stop for a moment and think to yourself,

"it's only been 10 months?" yeah? yeah? it's only been 10 months of donald trump. 37 more months to go... or less. hey, it could be less. it could be less. you never know. yeah, and i'm not even saying, like, robert mueller and his investigations. i don't know where that will go. i'm just saying, i don't think we should be shocked if donald trump quits. i could see him quitting. he could be the first president who just quits the job. two years in, i could see donald trump leaving the white house after he's got all these tax cuts. he could just walk out and be like, "i'm done. unlike most presidents, i did it in half the time, folks. so much faster," because he does everything he wants, man. he breaks all the rules, you know? people are like, "you can't quit after 2 years." you can't do anything donald trump did. everything, "grab them by the pussy," huh, firing the director of the fbi, huh? think about it. he fired the director of the fbi, a decision i have to admit, i agree with.

all right? i know i shouldn't say that, but it's true. i agree with it. i think if you can fire somebody who's investigating you, you should fire them. yeah. can we agree on that as human beings? if you can fire somebody who's investigating you, you should fire them. what people should be angry at is the fact that you can fire someone who is investigating you. that's the crazy [bleep] out there. all right? but if you can fire them, fire them. if i could fire a policeman that was coming after me, are you kidding me? i'd be at a dui checkpoint, and the cop would come up to my window like, "sir, do you know why i pulled you over?" i'd be like, "to get your ass fired." "i'm out of here." we're gonna be having a fun show today, ladies and gentlemen. thank you so much for coming out. we're in new york city. we're wrapping up a crazy year. we got a fun show with all of our correspondents lined up. it's "the daily show, the yearly show." we'll be right back with everyone right after this.

people with matters that can'come to me.ned, this ones different though. this is the house i grew up in. [ screaming ] there's evil in that house and i let it into this world. i am going to find it and i'm gonna finish it. [ wicked laughter ] [ screaming ] [ gasp ] insidious: the last key. rated pg-13.

welcome back to "the daily show's" year-end special. you know, people, if there's one group of people who have defined this year, it's been women. so we asked desi lydic and dulcé sloan for their thoughts, and they gave us a whole song. when i heard that we were gonna do a year-end special, i was like, "we have to do a song." oh, like when i said that, "hey, desi. we should do a year-end song." you were like, "good idea, dulcé." yeah, exactly, and i knew that it had to be about women because this has been such an incredible year for women.

welcome back to "the daily show's" year-end special, everybody. now, one thing you can say about 2017 is that there has been a lot of news. it's like every day, they came out with something new. you know, can't we just take, like, tuesday off? just one day. our normal show isn't long enough to hit all of our favorites, so here to help us is hasan minhaj with 2017's top moments in cable news, everybody. what's up, new york? thank you, trevor. thank you guys so much. you guys, cable news delivered for me this year, you know? i've always loved cable news, you know? it answered the age-old question, can we fit 10 minutes of information into an hour? but tonight, we celebrate the best moments of cable news in 2017, baby. now, i'm gonna keep this tight, otherwise i'll end up on msnbc,

so let's start with my favorite after-school hangout for accused sex offenders, fox news. 2017, we saw the new face of fox news, sean hannity, kind of by default after all the sexual harassment that was going on over there, the only people left were sean hannity and the sound guy. so my top fox moment was in november when hannity explained all the conspiracy theories about popular-vote president, hillary clinton. that corrupt uranium one deal. we're gonna untangle this web of clinton corruption and show you how all of it is connected. the committee of foreign investment in the united states, it's known as cfius. the attorney general, that's eric holder. rosatom, that's controlled by vladimir putin and the russians. former president bill clinton, renaissance capital, the clinton foundation. the second ongoing clinton scandal. private server, e-mail account, set up, the house select committee on benghazi, james comey, loretta lynch. now, our third scandal involves fusion gps, perkins coie.

there's christopher steele, senator john mccain, buzzfeed. look at this, pretty amazing. that chart had everything. all right? uranium one, buzzfeed, my middle-school girlfriend janice mallo. he hit all his marks. i love how hannity is trying to go "true detective" on us, but it really looks like an ex-football coach is trying to sell you timeshares. but if hannity is the king of right-wing crazy, who's the new emerging queen? please welcome to cable news, tomi lahren. another condescending leftist telling you how to think, feel and act. this time, it's michelle obama reminding the ladies that she knows what's best for us. senator flake, you are america's ex-boyfriend. you knew you were gonna get dumped, so you dumped us first. well, don't let the door hit you on the way out. and hillary said she was appalled. really, hillary? were you really appalled? were you appalled by bill, too? because you stayed with him. i don't believe any of this.

i don't know about you, but i'm pretty sick and tired of hearing these liberal entertainers, many of whom have never bought, touched or shot a firearm, lecture the rest of us on our second-amendment rights. hillary, what happened? you happened. does tomi lahren just wake up in the morning and go, "hey. what if the movie 'mean girls' was the news?" now, let's move on to msnbc, the network that hates trump more than trump hates normal-length ties. this march, my girl, rachel maddow, dropped one of the top cable news moments of the year, donald trump's tax returns. good evening, chris. it's been a little bit of a hullaballoo around here this evening. -i can't imagine! i apologize for being a little flustered. you may have heard, we've got some significant breaking news tonight. donald trump's tax returns have surfaced. do you remember how excited we were? like, this was the liberal super bowl party. i had a platter with quinoa and gluten-free nachos.

we could not wait, right? come on, woke baes, but we had to wait a lot. in just a second, we are going to show you exactly what it is that we've got. this document has been made available. part of what's very important about this story... when richard nixon said, "i am not a crook," he wasn't talking about watergate. he was talking about his taxes. hillary clinton, she released every year of her tax returns. ...back to 19... this particular russian oligarch, the guy who paid trump all that money for that house. does the president have foreign bank accounts? did turkey have a financial relationship with the president? this 2005 tax return. we'll go through it next. come on, rachel! give it to me! it's been 4 hours. i got to pee. all right? i saw two bollywood movies in that time. we have his federal tax return for 1 year, for 2005. what we have are these two pages. two pages?! i've been to food trucks with longer menus. are you joking me, rach?

and after all that, you know what we learned? in 2005, donald trump made a lot of money and paid some taxes. msnbc, please stop hyping things up and underdelivering. it's the news, not the "justice league" movie, okay? but if you want the real goods in 2017, you had to turn to the ancestral home of adults yelling at each other, cnn, baby, and for me, cnn's man of the year was don lemon. my man don was not playing games, even when roy moore's lawyer tried to lighten up the pedophilia discussion. yeah, man. it's great to be on here, don. i appreciate it, hoping i'll be able to give you the name don, "easy peasy lemon squeezy," right? you're gonna take it easy on me. hey, don "lemon squeezy keep it easy," here's the thing, man. it's just lemon. my mom didn't name me... hold on, man. my mom didn't name me "don lemon"... -i got you. -..."easy squeezy." it's just don lemon. go on.

i got you, man. that's right. "squeezy keep it easy" is not don lemon's name. it's the title of his debut r&b album. now, i was wondering, why was don lemon being so serious for the past 12 months? then i remembered, it might be because he got turnt last new year's. hello. hello. hello. happy almost new year. how are you? -happy new year. this is way too early to start this. we want a shot? i will do a shot. all right. it's 5:00 somewhere. hold t t. -i hope you guys are... can you hear us? ...counting how many times he's doing this. we really don't need to see what's about to haeren he. -no. no. no. -oh! oh! ow! mother... oh, the hole, crap! but i don't really do resolutions, and i live my life to the fullest. i don't care what people think about me. i do what i want because it's my life. you know what i'm saying? don't put me in a box. that's why muslims don't drink, okay?

by the way, that was before trump became president, so this year i can't wait to see don lemon's new year's eve nipple ring. happy new year's, you guys. take care. [ cheers and applause ] hasan minhaj, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] hasan minhaj! i was wondering if an electric toothbrusthan a manual.s better and my hygienist says it does but they're not all the same. who knew? i had no idea. so she said, look for one that's shaped like a dental tool with a round brush head. go pro with oral-b. oral-b's rounded brush head surrounds each tooth to gently remove more plaque. and unlike sonicare, oral-b is the only electric toothbrush brand accepted by the american dental association for its effectiveness and safety. my mouth feels so clean. i'll only use an oral-b. oral-b. brush like a pro.

[ cheers and applause ] thanks, trevor. in 2017, technology kept pushing boundaries,

proving it's brave enough to invent things we already have. airbnb invented a hotel. a startup called bodega cat invented the vending machine, and lyft came up with this genius new idea. woman: the ridesharing company says it has developed an option it says is cheaper and simpler. now, lyft says riders pay a fixed price to travel along a planned route with a set timetable. it's called the lyft shuttle. congratulations, idiots. you just invented the bus. why stop there? i don't know. how about an organic car that runs on oats? convenience was the one thing your company had going for you. you've taken away the whole reason for you to exist. you're like porn that has been edited for tv. why bother? now it's just a 2-minute story about a guy who delivers a pizza and then leaves used condoms behind. but, hey, you know what? the more time these tech companies spend reinventing the wheel, the less time they have to build robots

that will take over the world which, as we saw this year, is definitely gonna happen. ♪ ♪ [ gunshots ] why are we giving robots guns? okay. you idiots could have just invented a robot that is a gun, but social media was still good for something this year, making stupid [bleep] go viral, and the best place to get things trending was definitely award shows. beyoncé performed pregnant with twins and proved not even gravity can mess with her. also, a robot disguised as winona ryder malfunctioned at the sag awards, and at the bet awards, eminem got woke while he waited for his valet to pull the car around, but nothing broke the internet like the oscars.

when warren beatty won best awarding of best picture to the wrong [bleep] movie award. that's the worst mistake hollywood has ever made. well, that and the decades of sexual abuse, of course. it goes sexual abuse, then oscar mishap, then emma stone playing an asian woman, okay? i could have played that asian woman. it's called representation. and then there was this viral masterpiece. if you didn't already know this guy, let me introduce you to the internet's newest celebrity. his real name is nusret, but everybody on instagram calls him salt bae. that dude got tens of millions of hits for doing this instead of this. this, tens of millions of hits. this, nothing. it's not even hygienic. the salt is falling on his arm as it falls into the food. yo! who even is this guy? he looks like he's trying to sell body oil at the mall.

all right. back to you, trevor. ronny chieng with this year in tech, everybody. we'll be right back. 10 million, this is 10 million right here. -right here. -10 million, baby. ♪ if i did a 10th -- a 10th of what she did, i would be in jail today.

welcome back to "the daily show's" year-end special, everybody. it's been a wonderful year. it's been a crazy year. donald trump is still president. we're all waiting to wake up, but we will not. you know what? i feel like this year we were a little bit unfair. we focused on all the things donald trump got wrong and not all the things he got not as wrong, which is not fair. i mean, like, for instance, donald trump went on an international trip, his very first, and i was surprised that he did not end the world on that trip. i don't know if you remember it, right? they said that donald trump was gonna go to saudi arabia and give a speech on islam. remember that, yeah? and i was like, "oh, wow. donald trump is gonna go to saudi arabia and give a speech on islam to actual muslims." i was waiting for the world to end in that moment. i thought he was just going to get off the plane, see all the muslim women dressed up and be like, "so many ninjas," and it was just gonna end.

every moment on that trip had me terrified, every moment, and then it turned out the trip wasn't even the highlight of the trip because everyone focused on the one thing, melania and the hand slap. yeah, when melania hit his hand away like a slovenian dikembe mutombo. "no. no. no." i remember how everyone was shocked. they were like, "oh, my god. is there trouble? are donald and melania having trouble? is there something wrong in their relationship?" i'm like, "guys, you don't need to be a genius to figure out that they are not having a good time in their relationship, okay?" you could see it in the very beginning when donald and melanie first moved into the white house. well, she didn't. she stayed out of it. that was the first sign, right? but before, when they started it off, you could see that these people weren't having a good time if you just listened to their speeches. every single speech they made, every single speech, seemed like they were secretly throwing shade at the other person. right? all you had to do was listen every single time somebody came out to speak. all right?

because melania, when she came out to speak and announce her platform as first lady, what did she say? she came out and she said she was gonna do what? fight cyberbullying. all right? straight-faced, she came out, and she was like, "i believe, as first lady of the united states of america, we need to fight cyberbullying. we must stop the people on the twitter who are saying the bad things. we need to stop them, all of them. they must be stopped. stop them now." and people were like, "hey. do you know your husband?" she knew what she was doing! she was throwing shade, man. she probably planned it. she got home that night. she was smiling, all happy with herself, probably dropped her keys on the table. donald trump was sitting in the living room, turned on the lights furious. "melania, i saw what you said about me on the news. it was very not nice."

"i didn't think you'd be watching, donald. i thought you were watching the cartoons." "you knew i was watching, melania, and you've started a war." "well, do your worst, donald," and he did. it was war, and you know it was war because the next time he came out and gave a speech, what did he say? "we've got to get rid of all these immigrants, folks! they got to leave this country, every single one of them. they got to go. they all got to go." and then she went to a woman's conference. she was like, "the men who are doing sexual assault, we need to stop them. they grabbing the women. we must fight against it." it's like, "yo, you guys need to handle your [bleep] at home, man. stop involving us." what has been amazing to me is seeing how people genuinely don't understand that donald trump has always been like this, you know? seeing people saying things, like, they'll be like, "when is he going to stop tweeting? like, when is he going to become presidential?" "i wish he would just shut up and do his job. why is donald trump doing all these things?"

well, here's the easiest way you can understand it. fundamentally, donald trump wants to be president, but he doesn't want to do president. that's all it is, right? he wants to be president, but he doesn't want to do president. being president is symbolic. you fly around. you kiss the babies. you make the speeches. that's being president. doing president is hard. it's boring. you got to do, like, legislation with congress. you got to figure out the economy, you know? you got to work on geopolitics with foreign leaders. that's the boring part of the job. nobody wants to do that part. maybe hillary, no one else, right? donald just wants to have fun. you know when i realized this? it was when he was on the white house lawn and the truck driver's association came to visit him, and instead of helping the republicans vote on healthcare, donald decided to play-play in the truck. do you remember that? and he sat there, and it was the cutest, most terrifying thing we've ever seen in our lives because he got there, and he was like, "can i get in? guys, can i get in?" and they were like, "yeah. you're the president. whatever, man. get in. get in." but they didn't give him the keys. they were like, "don't give him the keys. don't give him the keys. whatever you do, don't give him the keys." he jumped in, and he started to fake drive that truck

with more passion than he's given any other topic in the presidency. he just say there, and he made the sounds with his own mouth. i'm still impressed by that. the president of the united states, and he was like... ahh. ahh. ahh. ha, ha. and that's when i realized, that's all donald trump ever wanted, people. yeah. he just wanted to play president. america didn't need to elect him. they could have just bought him a fisher-price my first president set. it would have been the same thing. it could have had a tiny, little plastic resolute desk, working all day. "what are you doing now, donald?" "i'm signing executive orders." he spends a lot of time on politics and media, but for a lot of people, there's more important matters out there, and i'm talking, of course, about sports. 2017 had some unforgettable moments on and off the fields, so we asked roy wood, jr. and michael kosta to break them down for us. give it up, y'all. oh, yeah. what's up, everybody?

i'm roy. that's michael, and this is the 2017 year in review for sports. and what a year it was, roy. the astros won their first world series ever. we also had two cocky idiots trying to beat the snot out of each other. and the new england patriots had an amazing comeback over the atlanta falcons in super bowl li, ouch! oh, the falcons, rip, blew a 25-point lead, bro. they blew it so bad, they had to write a book called "what happened." well, but the most important story, of course, is the nfl players kneeling to protest the oppression of the black man in america. my man, roy, here knows what that's all about. no rest for the brothers, am i right, roy? actually, man, i just kind of want to keep this segment light and fun, so let's just keep moving. i hear you. yeah. i'm down, dawg. because sports is supposed to be light and fun, and the nfl got a little more fun this year when the league lifted the ban on group touchdown celebrations. and the players took full advantage. to date, they did the jamaican bobsled team. they did the... they performed cpr. they even played leapfrog. i mean, where do they come up with this? i mean, these celebrations were cool... yeah. ...but they weren't as good as the ones that you and i used to throw down back in our playing days.

oh, you mean the pepper and the parmesan? let's show them pepper and parmesan. here we go, pepper. -here's the salad. the parmesan. eat that salad. pepper and parmesan! crushed it. i'll tell you who else crushed it -- the golden state warriors. they were absolutely dominant, cruising to an easy nba finals victory over lebron and the cavs. speaking of the cavs, kyrie irving demanded a trade so he wouldn't have to play with lebron james, and that wasn't even the craziest thing he said this year. man: one of the big stories out of all-star weekend is the cavs star kyrie irving believes that the earth is flat. despite years of science, kyrie honestly believes that the earth is not round. kyrie, baby, how you gonna say the earth is flat when you basically spend 20 hours a day dribbling a damn globe? a damn globe, of course! i'd be remiss if i didn't mention that there was a racial slur that was spray-painted on the home of lebron james. clearly money and fame are not enough to protect the black man in today's america, and that's an america with three k's, right, roy? -yeah, man. why do you keep bring up all this heavy race stuff? this supposed to be a light segment. i just want my sports with no racism.

i'm sorry. you know me, but i'm an ally to the black man. stop saying "the black man." how you gonna say that? i minored in african studies. that ain't got nothing to do with it. okay. all right. i'll just back off the african. okay. -look. anyway, let's just move on because the most incredible performance of this year... yeah. ...has to go to serena williams winning the australian open while pregnant. -yeah. try pulling that off, roger federer. well, he couldn't because technically... what more can you say? there's nothing more inspiring to me than a strong... -yeah. -...powerful black woman. man, i told you, you have to... i'm impressed by black women. michelle, serena, your own mom. keep my mama's name out your mouth. it was a compliment. she raised a great man, roy. just stop talking about race. i know what's going on. you don't have to keep bringing up race every time. it's hard because 2017, roy, was a year that race and sport intersected like never before. no. no. there was one story. michael phelps raced a shark, and that had nothing to do with magical black women, nothing to do with wokeness and nothing to do with race.

okay. i just... oh, god. how is race... how is this race? nothing, it's, just, i have always seen the shark as the black man of the sea. you were saying...you're saying me and this shark... look. i'm just saying... you were saying... ...everyone that was involved in this made so much money off of what? the shark's hard labor. how much money did the shark make? nothing. i mean, to me, that sounds a lot like... the shark is working. everyone is making money, but the shark is not making any money. no. no. no. no. no. don't say that. -to me that's... -don't ever say that. -don't even... -that's slavery. -i'm done. -that's what that is. oh, man. roy wood, jr., i'm michael kosta. to me, the shark is slavery. happy kwanzaa, you guys. have a great year. roy wood, jr., michael kosta, everybody. happy kwanzaa. we'll be right back.
