host a network talk show, a man has to go on vacation. kidding, i'm here because jimmy didn't want to get covid. i'm fine, just so you know. health wise. i did take a couple covid tests. and as a lady, i gotta say, it's nice to take a test for something that could destroy my life and not have to pee on it. thanks, science. anyway, i feel like the reason they picked me to do this is because i'm the only comedian who hasn't been canceled which is so weird. i probably should have been. a long time ago. i've said crazy things, but they're all on comedy central, so no one can find them. if you want to cancel me, i think you actually have to buy a vcr on craigslist. godspeed. i feel like if you guys did tune in to see jimmy and were surprised to see someone like me hosting instead, it's probably like when guys are on a plane and see a female pilot walk on board. at first, they're like "look at her go. okay, yeah. we have a female pilot. how neat." then as soon as they shut the door, they're like, "there's at

least one man in there, right, to do the important stuff like, you know, flying the plane?" don't panic. there is a man here, literally one. he's operating the camera. it's a wild situation. i mean this is insane. i showed up to a random house and a guy in a mask is filming me. i don't know if he even works here. if he's the only person who's going to see this footage. but we're keeping our fingers crossed. i hope it doesn't seem like i'm complaining, even though with my voice, everything sounds like i'm complaining. this house is gorgeous. i still find it amazing how, in hollywood, you can just rent some mansion for the day and shoot whatever you want. yep, as long as you're wearing a mask or a condom, california is open for business. this really is just some random house in hollywood. i've lived in this town 15 years. i've been "invited to a house" to "shoot a tv show" many times,

but this is the first time i showed up it was actually a tv show. fool me twice danny masterson, shame on me. that is the first moment when things get weird with this no-audience thing. because i have no idea how that landed. i have no idea if you're laughing or cringing. the audience can tell you if that was the greatest joke ever told, or i could lose everything. i guess we'll ever know. can't wait to find out tomorrow on twitter. anyway, back to me. like most americans, i live in los angeles, but i'm originally from washington dc, where, which i'm sure you heard is making a big push for statehood. dc has always wanted this. our license plates say "taxation without representation." it's the only passive aggressive license plate. you'll never be driving around oregon and see a license plate that says "oregon, some sun would be nice." or florida "if you can read this, you're probably not from

florida." stop right there. i'm not making fun of florida. don't think i'm being mean to florida. i love florida. not as much as coronavirus loves florida, but i love it. some of my favorite pregnancies happened in florida. so i don't want to slam florida. i'd rather get back to making fun of washington, d.c. as you know the football team is finally taking a stand and changing the name of the redskins. i will say, in their defense, back when they named the team the redskins, it was only very racist. but i also have to give credit where credit is due, out of respect for native americans, the redskins have kept their name out of super bowl lineups for nearly 30 years. honestly, they're probably just psyched to not be talking about concussions? i'm fascinated when the nfl takes a moral or benevolent stand on something. remember when all the players had the pink ribbons on for breast cancer? that was always

so wild to me because that was so clearly a pr move. some publicists sat them down and were like, "we are getting some bad press. we need to align with a charity to help our reputation so we need to pick a cause. what do you guys care about? what's important to you? what's on your mind?" they were like, "boobs?" we heard some were in danger. you know women get other kinds of cancer right? we do have other body parts. heart disease #1 killer of women. they were like "what about a ribbon for heart disease?" they were like, "isn't that where the feelings come from?" that's gonna get me in trouble. whatever. i just felt myself getting canceled. i felt the internet preparing to cancel me. everything gets everyone in trouble now. people now can find anything to be divided about like the fact that people have managed to politicize wearing a face mask in a pandemic.

and it makes me so angry because i don't have the power to force everyone to do this one small thing that saves lives. but what i do have are a very particular set of skills. skills i have acquired over a very long career. i can roast these fools on national television. >> it's the roast of maskless idiots with roast master, whitney cummings. first up, we've got the chico's all lives matter fall collection. looks like karen-con got off to a slow and rocky start when these women kept calling the cops on the security guards. this looks like a casting call for a lifetime movie about women who drown their kids in a station wagon. now, let's take a look at this dumb moron. nothing like empty rolls of toilet paper jammed on your head to let people know you've got actual [ bleep ] for brains. dude, what is on your face? you look like a sea turtle stuck in a six pack ring.

also, cool bracelet! i think we can move on. what this guy should have done with his sharpie is color in the parts of his head where the plugs didn't take. look, i get it. he's trying to make a point that masks are just making us feel safe, when it turns out you're not really safe at all. kind of like the feeling you get when you date a guy who can write stuff backwards in a mirror. you creep. anyway. have you ever just wanted to drive your car straight into a wall? my guess is he only bought this expensive suit because he was told mexico would pay for it. why won't guys just wear masks? it helps you get chicks. put on the mask. there's a strong chance we'll flirt with you because we'll think you're a surgeon. it's like seeing a girl in a hooters shirt, she probably works there and even if she doesn't, that girl's a party. now, this next genius is holding

a sign that says "i will not mask my unborn child." oh honey. you're not wearing a mask in a pandemic. opinnsxpssed here tonight are my own. i don't want jimmy getting any backlash and more importantly any credit for anything you hear tonight. anyway i'm obsessed with this woman. i can't wrap my head around how she hates science, but loves a fun orange slide. this summer, beat the heat with open toes and an open casket. it's amazing to me that some women refuse to wear a mask. which is wild. it's like, metal underwire bras that stabs our boobs for twelve hours and digs into our rib cage? fine. a polyester string that saws up into our crevices? absolutely. but a soft piece of cloth that stops an invisible, and possibly deadly virus? back off [ bleep ], i'll spit on your baby!

so, it's been about eight minutes which is more than enough time for a woman to be talking at you so we're going to take a break and be back with music from the amazing rema. and i will be joined by my very funny friend eric andre so get ready to see a naked man. see you soon. >> dicky: abc's "jimmy kimmel live," brought to you by old navy. but 2020 had us shook. so we gave the world another look. and saw a future of differences celebrated. every voice heard and advocated. where everyone can show their pride. 'cause love should never have to hide. there's a world of possibility that can't exist with you versus me. it will take work, that's indisputable. but oh

[orange] hey, what's up guys? [ginger] oh my god! [captain] orange, why are you naked? [orange] oh god, is my camera on? [captain] i'll never unsee this. [orange] okay hold on. how's that?

she's like, give me my wine please, she likes like, 7-eleven wine. >> whitney: sutter home, don't knock it. i have a couple other questions. who's on your shirt? >> oprah. oprah winfrey. >> whitney: if i'm high and looking at a picture of oprah winfrey, i feel like that would be a spiritual experience. >> i want to go on a zoom date with oprah. >> whitney: your special. i cringed, i screamed, i laughed. i gasped. it was so fun to watch. >> you're sweet.i want that whi. for my next special. that's the kind of budget. i said, can we have two actors make out on stage? what, are we made of money?

whitney gets a robot of herself. >> yeah, there is a bit, i don't want to give it away. there is a bit where you help an audience member work through their childhood trauma. i was screaming. >> thank you. where did you get that robot? >> whitney: why do you want to interview me? i'm interviewing you, eric. >> i'm having a conversation. when i talk you listen. >> whitney: this is like a zoom date by the way. you're kind of fun. >> have you dated any comedians? you do not want to talk about that, do you? >> whitney: i have not dated any comedians, no. i dated one that -- >> i have a strict never, i have a strict, never date a comedian policy. >> whitney: no. >> it's already like high school. and i just don't want any, i want a boundary. >> whitney: i'm not trying to date you. you don't have to set this boundary with me. i'm not flirting with you, i'm not interested. you're like, i would never date a female comedian, ever. people are so obsessed with your show. people run up to me on the street and go, do you know eric

[ bleep ], i'm between seasons,

give me a break. >> whitney: i am obsessed with this. i love when a man in hollywood gains weight, he's like a genius artist. and when a woman gains weight, they just don't get to work anymore. >> i know, it's not fair. charlize thereon. >> whitn you're right. one woman did it, and she got the oscar. >> yeah. there you go. >> whitney: that's what i need to do. i love you. i could talk to you forever and hopefully i'll get to. but for now, these people are going to murder me. >> no worries, i love you so much. >> whitney: legalize, nothing makes me laugh. i went emotionally numb years ago, and this is the only thing that brought me joy. it is absolutely brilliant, i love you, eric andre. >> i love you, too. >> whitney: get some new wi-fi. i'll have some salsa.
