2:10 am
>> carson: welcome back. jesse joyce has written for the
2:11 am
also the comedy central roast, and has appeared on comedy stages all over the country. tonight we go to catcher in the rye to hang with the man himself. take a look. >> i do love writing roast jokes. that is like, the thing that i think is the most fun. it's literally just a showcase of jokes. it's like, here is the first joke about why i think david hasselhoff is a drunk. here is the second joke about why he's a [ bleep ] dad. here is the third joke about why his tv shows are terrible. here's the fourth joke about why he's fat and has a bearskin rug on his chest. the trump thing. trump said, "don't make fun of my hair." and it was like, "oh [ bleep ] you. really?" 'cause it was like -- like everybody is gonna be making hair jokes. cause that's the whole point. when the guy -- the guest of honor then goes up for the rebuttal, you're gonna have to address the things that they said about you. so would you rather talk about your stupid hair or would you rather bring up that eastern european mail order brides only
2:12 am
hey, i'm jesse joyce. i'm a comedian and a writer. i'm saying that with confidence. [ light laughter ] >> this is a nice club. they really do a good job here. you know? 'cause they knew there was gonna be a tv taping, so they called me earlier and they're like, "h"h, we want to make it special. we want to make the show great for you. what can we do?" they're like, "how do you want us to decorate?" and i was like, "you don't have to decorate." they're like, "come on, we want to decorate the stage. what should we do?" [ laughter ] and i was like, "i don't know. just like whatever, something nice. like you know, paint the skyline, but can you paint like pasadena like in the apocalypse? can you do that? can you --" [ laughter ] anything else? yeah, "i want 65 little light bulbs all around." [ laughter ] 65 little lights. and they're like, "65, that's weird, cause we have slots for 66." and i was like, "yeah, yeah. no, i want one burnt out. i want one of them to be burnt out." [ laughter ] like, why would you want that? cause i want a hint at a lack of attention to detail that leads people to believe maybe i don't clean the bathrooms a lot. [ laughter ] can you do that? >> that's my favorite wawato open a comedy show. i will just look around the room
2:13 am
it. and kind of more importantly what probably a handful of people in the audience have fixated on. there's a comedy club in burbank. it's called "flappers," and they have nothing on the walls, except for this one old, like dress. 'cause it's flappers, it's supposed to be like a dress from the '20s. 'cause i know, i see people lookin' at it. and so i always point out that, like, that is like this one sad old dress from some prostitute in the '20ss who it looks like she blew enough dudes in the great depression that they retired her jersey. >> my new wife and i are big fans of "the walking dead." that's like our favorite show, we love that show. [ cheers and applause ] it's a great show. and we watch it all the time, and i sit there though and i watch it on the couch with her, and i just look at her and i realize that you guys, i cannot have a wife in the apocalypse. that's gonna slow me the [ bleep ] down. you know what i'm saying? [ laughter ] 'cause like, look, she's great and all, but she's gonna be a total liability in the apocalypse, 'cause i gotta save her. and that's gonna be a disaster. you know what i'm saying? 'cause, listen i know that that's not a -- just hear me out. when the apocalypse happens, ladies, let dudes do it, okay? and i know that sounds sexist,
2:14 am
but i have jokes, so listen. [ laughter ] anyway. here's why -- we're more ready to handle the apocalypse as guys, and here's why. because we've been ready our whole lives. 'cause that's what it is being a little boy. that's all you do as a little boy, is trial runs for the apocalypse. like, every time you see a little boy, all they're doing all day is just sitting in the woods sharpening sticks and building forts. you know what i'm saying? those are skills that are useful in the apocalypse. you know what i mean? [ light laughter ] now for the sake of argument, think of what you ladies played when you were little girls. you like thought about your wedding, and you played house. you women were playing best case scenario. you understand the difference? [ laughter ] >> i do have an energy that's people have labeled as having a cokey quality. i'm aware that i have sort of a coke addict vibe to me, which i don't. i've never done coke in my life. but i'm just jittery and i talk per fast and i have giant squirrely coke eyes. >> i was gonna cross the street a couple weeks ago. this homeless guy comes up to a whole bunch of us. he has like a sore. he's like, "listen everybody, i'm not homeless. i'm down on my luck, here's what happened." [ light laughter ] he's like, "i just came in town from baltimore with my daughters
2:15 am
right in front of 'em. right in front of 'em! they took my money, they put me in the hospital. we just need money to get back down to balitmore." that was a sad story. so people gave money. then i was about to give money. just then the dude who was standing next to me stopped me and goes, "hey, just so you know, i heard that same guy give that exact same speech two weeks ago." yeah, right? and i was like, well [ bleep ] that's sad. that every couple weeks this guy's getting his ass kicked in front of his kids, you know? [ laughter ] >> i just want to be able to do standup forever. to me there wasn't like another option. it was like, oh i'm gonna be a comic. it never entered my head, "but what if i suck at it?" it's really just who i am. i love doin' it the most. like everything. like even like, you know -- cinnabons at an airport. like whatever, like all aspects of standup. like they put in the little key to the door into the hotel. like that's fun -- it's like, "oh, this is gonna be my new apartment for the next four days." i love that kind of [ bleep ]. yeah, end goal is basically just having the ability to continue to go out and have people give a
