corbin bersin was trained by bruce lee.i'm sure that was helpful when he was an actor. >> i kind of see these are the reason why these jokes didn't make it. >> what? i am building to the sheen joke. >> get to it quickly. >> how much time do i have? >> a minute? go for it. >> charlie you are not a rock star, you need hit singles. you have hit single moms. charlie sheen did a show -- he destroyed his own show because he bit the hand that feeds him. so he has sigfried's blood. >> that's. it -- that's it. >> this is no the a roast crowd. >> i forced you to use material you didn't put on the show. >> i enjoyed it thoroughly. >> to see clips of recent show go to foxnews.com/redeye. >>> see you back at 5:00 p.m. eastern time. and bill schulz first time on "hannity" 9:00 p.m. eastern. the next "red eye" we have ambassador john john bolton and lisa data ry and joe devito. >> back to tv's andy levy for the post game wrap up. >> thanks for the last segment and having something more oak -- awkward than the half time report. >> andy, yo
