. >> i picked a fight with a warlock. tiger blood, wow, winning. chris: maybe king of chutzpa. what a competition this has been. was it a man? maybe a machine? a computer called watson went on "jeopardy!" tv show and beat the two best human contestants of all time. >> bram stoker is what we're looking for and we find who is stoker? i for one welcome our new computer. chris: you know what that was, the computer had done so well in raising money up until the point of the final double jeopardy, the final thing when you double your money, that poor guy, genius as he was, didn't have enough money at that point to beat the machine. the machine had already beaten him. >> and it's only the beginning. watson will go even further. i'm tempted to say donald trump, whatever he did this year was the chutzpa prize of the year. chris: doesn't he get it january 1 every year? >> just by being there and almost everything he has said and done, getting into the race, demanding birth certificate, wanting the debate. it wasn't just that moment. >> trump continues to trump himself, doesn't he? >> how

he was talking about warlocks and mercury surf boards and stuff. know what that is. i went to dinner with a friend of mine, and i said -- if they offered me the show, i'd do it in a minute. i'd done "that '70s show." and i really love doing sitcoms in front of live audiences. and then two weeks later i got a phone call and they offered me the job. and i was like, oh, man, wow. i got to think abouthis. this is like a big shift. and i just thought about it. it's the best job in the world. >> ellen: it is a great job. it's a great job. and you love the show and you love the cast. >> yeah. it's amazing. jon cryer is fantastic. the writers are incredible. the rest of the cast is amazing. >> ellen: yeah. [applause] and, now, had you met charlie before? have you ever met him? >> i -- i hadn't met him. i hadn't met him at all. he tweeted at me and said very nice things and was like, hey, you got the right guy for the job and said really nice things. i never actually met the guy. i'm sure he's very nice. >> ellen: yeah. >> i know his brother pretty well. >>

"i like white castle." >> i do. my grandfather used to take me there. interestingly enough, they are testing beer, wine. asian food and grilled cheese. nothing is better than a white castle burger after a nice night out. now you can have your alcohol when you get there. i am all for it. glass of wine is going to cost about $4.50. domestic beer about 3 bucks. i say go for it. >> i'm sure top shelf liquor to go with that top shelf meat they've got over there. >> delicious. >> whatever.

. ♪ there was a warlock. >> greg is the co-creator and ceo of jibjab. >> i can tell you feel very, very guilty. >> horribly. >> how long do you spend on these things? there's so much to talk about in the world of politics this year. >> we record events as they happen all year long. in about august we'll pick a song and start working on the lyrics and typically record around november, try to wait until the very last minute because there's always something. this year kim jong-il died the day before we released it. so we tried to push the actual production as far into -- >> how many people work on this? it's not just you, is it? >> oh,s are no, my brother lead as creative team and there's a whole group of folks who work on it, an amazingly talented bunch of artists. last year they try to have fun and do something different. last year was puppets, this was paper cutouts. >> chief job requirement, dry sense of humor. i want to watch another clip. ♪ the job market stayed in a slump ♪ the debt ceiling kept us debating ♪ while weiner just tweeted his junk ♪ >>
