they don't like free thinking. >> chris rock blamed it on conservatives which is ridiculous.ought police are on these college campuses it is the liberals. >> what chris rock said was the students are too conservative. what he meant was -- >> even the college professors are saying the liberal students are too radical. i mean, gavin that's bad. >> this goes back to what we -- i lost my point with the death thing. we have stripped them of all culture. we turned them too these weird zombies where they can't enjoy sex. they can't enjoy humor. they can't party. bullying has been outlawed and that outlawed fun. it is not like they have changed and they are different from our generation. they are less. i am not mad at them for partying too much. i am mad at them for not partying enough. they love the president. what kind of nerd loves their own president? >> wedge gees are hilarious. you get lifted by your underwear. that's funny. >> time for a break. holograms at funerals when we come back. >>> he is dead and still won't stop talking. the recently departed can offer words of encoura

chris rock says it is like roots with more jokes. nobody is off-limits in your book. are an equal opportunity offender. what is the state of race relations in america? colin: it is a discussion about having a discussion. people are worried about -- justifiably so -- if you say the wrong thing you get boycotted. people speak generically. john: are you not worried about being fired or boycotted? colin: i don't really have employment. john: you can get fired? colin: you can get boycotted but that would probably help at this point. john: this is informed by being raised in brooklyn. brooklyn is not as racially diverse as it once was. how does the brooklyn of your childhood inform your view of race? colin: it is like i remember happy parts of the childhood. everyone in school together. there was racial tension but it was mixed together at the same time. people crossed over more. they were living in the same building. it was more of a mix. that was a rare place at a rare time. mark: every author has to make choices. you chose not to do pop-ups why? calling: i wanted to make

you can understand -- chris rock's reaction to this is not surprising. >> it's not surprising. i have to be honest, lawrence, i can help but be filled with rage watching this. the discrepancy between the fact that if you are black and selling a cigarette, trying to swim, you have a toy gun in your hand, shopping in a wal-mart store, the immediate reaction is force or in many cases lethal force. this is an example of the police seeing the humanity in what is especially a domestic terrorist as they arrest him. the discrepancy in that is absolutely maddening. >> we will take a break here. stay with us. coming up, that question about dylann roof, is he racist or is he insane? some think that insane is the whole story and you don't have to think about race at all in this case. we'll discuss that coming up. burns on my watch! try alka-seltzer heartburn reliefchews. they work fast and don't taste chalky. mmm...amazing. i have heartburn. alka-seltzer heartburn reliefchews. enjoy the relief. if you have moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis like me... and you're talking to a rheumatol

chris rock says they are too conservative.they have no -- lost their ability to be offended in a humorous way. and, you know, jay leno has also spoken out about this. i think it is significant that people of this quality and caliber in comedy are starting to push back on this. >> it's even in high schools now. >> absolutely. >> if you make a joke or is something like that, then you are accused of being so ist thing. but in the world of comedy, now, remember, did you see the movie the producers with mel brooks? not the remake which wasn't nearly as good. >> yes. >> all right. imelbrooks? >> yeah. >> it was a hysterical movie but had gay stereotypes all over the place. >> we lost our ability to laugh at ourselves. i think any ethnic group or sex has to be able to laugh at certain stereotypical stereotypes associated with them. >> the nuts and bolts of it is remember "the bird cage" hysterical movie. built around what? what was it built around? a gay guy trying to pretend he was straight. >> this college student wrote a letter on

i like chris rock. chris rock is funny. he says outrageous things. i used to like andrew dice clay. non grata. he's a comedian. he's trying to make you laugh by being outrageous. it doesn't necessarily means he believes everything he's saying. >> let comedians breathe. people coming out on jerry seinfeld you're running out of people to attack. next to santa claus is jerry seinfeld. >> you're pretty hard core in your comedy routine. >> i'm honest. i'm not trying to attack people. >> you don't mind saying stuff if you think it's true. and all good humor is rooted in truth, right? >> i would say that about myself. i'm hard core as well sean. >> you don't -- you're in the nice guy territory. you're in the jerry seinfeld territory. >> he's actually mean compared to jerry seinfeld. he's a crip compared to jerry seinfeld. >> i don't want to ask. i don't think comedians should com complain about this atmosphere. everyone is so sensitive this will cause a resurgence of comedy. >> i can still do skits of cheech and chong because i grew up with that. ope open i got the stuff. funny stuff. >> y

i mean the week leading up to it, i left rehearsal one night and chris rock is sort of my go-to buddye and he goes "you want to go see chappele? he's doing a show." and i go, "oh cool." because he knows all of these things. he's got some secret black famous app, ya know? what's going on. what's app? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: black people let each other know what's going on. >> literally, there's stuff going on. so we go there. and i go, "we're going to be late it's midnight." and he rolls down the window and the guys comes up and he goes "he's going on at 2:00 a.m." i go, "2:00am! i go on in vegas at 10:00 and i'm like aww too late." i go, "i'm not waiting for 2:00am." and he goes, "you want to see prince? private show." i go, oh, his 15th one this week. i go, "cool." and then we go there and he's like, "i'm like let me see." i want to see what he's looking at. he knows all these tricks. so we go down these barricades. were you there? >> questlove: i was in texas. >> you got me in! >> questlove: i was in texas. >> this guy! >> jimmy: he has the app. he has the app. >> you were the guy be

chris rock and colin quinn have shared similar feelings about political correctness. michelle your dad wrote for johnny carson. are funny like these on to something? >> he would laugh that hollywood liberals are upset about political correctness. this is the product of liberals. this is the monster they've created. i'm going to stand up for millennials and say this is because of liberals in my parents generation that have coddled children and told them to be offended. look at the colleges that millennials go to and the schools they go to. they are not free speech zones. they can't say anything without being disciplined. so i think that it's -- it's my parents' generation. >> let's go to one of those. the thoughts on the comedy michelle's parents' generation probably wouldn't go over very well in this generation. >> well i don't think that's necessarily true. i think part of it is just what you said the pervasive part of college professors and all that talking about oh we have to have equality. and we have to have versediversity and do all of these things. i was lookin

ramis or mike nichols or the very much alive steve martin and gary shandling and jerry seinfeld, chris rockt in terms of your own life? >> well when i did interviews as a kid, everyone said it would take a long time to get funny and to figure out who you were as a creative person. and so you know, i set my clock differently. i didn't think it was going to happen for me in six months. i thought it was going to take seven to ten years to even have a sense of what i did as a comedian and a writer and that helped a lot. but i have to say, harold ramis was probably the person that influenced me the most personally because he was very zenlike and he did say, you know life is a very strange and mysterious and you do have a choice if you want to be a good guy or a bad guy. and he said i choose to be a good guy. and that may be the only religion i have. >> you write in the books that the comics you interviewed, however different they were they all shared a common humanity. what did you mean by that? >> well you know comedians, we're not like rappers. we don't fight each other, you know. we can't bel

chris rock, lena dunham.in i interviewed leno and 1983, seinfeld and a lot of people with her first starting out. charlie: what's the secret to interviewing comedians? judd: i'm just a fan. i'm interested in both how they do it and just emotionally, what makes us want to do it? charlie: the thing johnny carson said -- talking about comedy is not funny. judd: that's true. it dies on the operating table. i just want to ask are you feeling crazy now, how are you staying vibrant in the life in your work? charlie: standup has always been fascinating. if you talk to louis ck, it takes about 15 years to really develop. judd: i didn't think i was going to make it in a year. i thought i was going to make it in 15 years, and that was a good thing to hear is a high school kid. you have to work your ass off. until you are thirtysomething years old before you make it? charlie: here's what will ferrell said -- anyone interested in comedy or humanity should own this book. it is hilarious informative, and it contains insight

who will teach his class, chris rock? college holds people for four years because it is simply a money grab. we're not getting people well versed to be there in life. the reason is a lot of it is because of stupid tenure keeps a lot of these guys in william la jeunesse land-- la-la land. >> naomi, if you have a job for life, why not comedy? >> if we have a serious conversation about reforming education, scott walker is the last person i'll ask because he doesn't have a college education -- >> neither does bill gates. >> but he wants to reform college education. the reality is by punishing professors who are teaching our children and we're spoeed to be competing with china? he wants to cut down on professor's tenures and instead of looking at what's costing a lot for colleges and that is the infrastructure let's talk about tuition costs. why are they so high? >> okay. that's a different debate. got to move on now. gary merson. >> not only did my daughter graduate from emerson with an mfa but it was an mf nashgs poetry john

comedians chris rock and saturday night live alum colin quinn have shared similar opinions about politicalctness on college campuses. are funny guys like these on to something? >> i think he would be laughing at the fact that hollywood liberals are upset about political correctness because this is the -- this is basically the product of liberals. this is the monster that they've created. this is not millenials are but i'll stand up for them right now and say that this is bah of liberals in my parent's generation that have kolgdzed children and have basically told them to be perpetually offended. look at the colleges that millenials go to and the school that they go to? they basically are not free speech zones. they can't say anything without being disciplined. i think that it's my parents' generation the liberals. >> let's go to one of those. the comedy that is in michelle's parents' generation probably wouldn't go over very well in this generation. >> i don't think that's necessarily true. i think part of it is just what you said the pervasive part of college professors and all that talki

. >> testifier: good evening again chris rock urban forestry republic works. honestly, i can forget the order in which were coming up before you so i apologize for the confusion. public works issued a permit to the applicant of the removal of 27 street trees. the developer 45 lansing street 239 story building currently under construction within the cities ill plan area mac the trees are currently the maintenance responsibility of the property owners at 18 lansing, 81 lansing, 50 lansing, 66-56 lansing and 3/91 street. approximate 21 trees are proposed for replacement that the plan here is that the project sponsor of 45 lansing would remove these trees, replace them, and then be responsible for the maintenance of these trees. they are currently either be maintained. the reason for move on the application is that the street is a very narrow sidewalk this can become a shared street. so, the sidewalk and street level will all be at the same level, the same grade. the trees will not withstand that level of grade change so the approval was granted by the department

david till said stand-up comedy is dead chris rock said he's never doing colleges again.ohn: because? >> comedy has a free market of ideas. like you're watching a scientist at work in the lab. he might make a rape joke or use a joke with racial epithets and it will bomb. that doesn't work the comedian will scrap that and you got to see it live. john: he's scrapping colleges. >> they would record it with cell phones and that would be on the guy's record forever. that mistake that he felt. when someone starts a business it bombs and they are forever associated with the failed business, it's not fair and bad for the economy. john: aren't we sad that the students don't laugh? >> yeah, it is really sad. i did a show recently and i was with a female comedienne she said i'll have a white wine spritzer, a lady drink, and the bartender didn't laugh and said that is metro normtive don't you think? john: jimmy kimmel used to have a segment with kids fable conversations with kids. here's one that sparked protest from chinese people. >> america owes china 1.3 trillion dollars. how sho

kennedy: there is no free speech or free exchange of ideas, chris rock is no longer doing college appearancese really lucrative gigs from some private universities, he say they are too conservative, i would argue they are too liberal, this spouts from liberalism. >> pc is a liberal thing. but what is wrong with being pc, why is it bad, why is it bad to say there is a better way to address and frame who we are in terms gender and sexuality, what -- >> because that is -- is -- go everyone is so offended so easily these days, it is out of control, in the world of the left, you see world through pris prism of gender and race. >> people are good. >> that does not mean there are not those issues like cops beating people up. >> oh, god. >> this is why you have people writing about squashing speech on college campus, it is okay to say something that would offend someone, they can stand up and defend themselves you when you annihilate free speech you that is when it is a problem. >> you are not letting me speak. >> 88-year-old retired manhattan media executive, green wall is being sued his his ex mist

and colbert and chris rock and amy schumer and if you are interested in the arts or comedy there's aall the people you talked to was there one thing that stood out more than the others? >> when i was young, what they told me is it took a long time to get funny. when i was a kid, someone said it takes seven years to find myself. that helped me. i thought it is okay to be bad for a really long time. >> jimmy: which happens and has to happen. every once in a while lightning strikes and you get a teenager eddie murphy or something like that. but it doesn't happen frequently. >> most of us it takes over 40 to figure it out. that made me not as obsessed with making it happen in the moment. >> jimmy: it seems to have worked out. you brought some photographs of yourself -- >> tell the story. >> jimmy: yeah, tell the story before i show the photographs. go ahead. >> this story involves you. >> jimmy: it does. >> i went to see the president speak. >> jimmy: okay. >> it was the day he did mean tweets. >> jimmy: on our show. >> on your show. >> jimmy: okay. when you meet the president. it is usu
