Dulcé Sloan kicks off her hosting week with difficult jury selection for Trump's criminal hush money trial and his long list of excuses for getting out of his court dates. Plus, Jordan Klepper Fingers the Pulse outside of the New York County Criminal Court, where a jury of Trump's supporters have already rendered their verdicts. In the latest In My Opinion, John Leguizamo is fired up about the Latino vote and their surprising sway toward Donald Trump, despite Biden’s outreach and policies on immigration. He breaks down the priority issues of inflation and Trump’s deceptions on how much he truly cares about the Latino community. And Mayan Lopez, co-creator, writer, and star of the NBC sitcom “Lopez vs. Lopez,” talks to Dulcé about the responsibility of being the only Latino-centered sitcom on TV right now. She discusses making her own name in comedy while working with her dad, playing a fictionalized version of herself, and using the show to have difficult conversations about family and identity.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Comedy Central.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
From the most trusted journalists at Comedy Central.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
It's America's only sorts for news.
Speaker 4 (00:14):
This is the Daily Show with your Holes school say Flue.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Hello.
Speaker 5 (00:37):
First, welcome to the Daily Show, goosand.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
We got I'd like to.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
Talk about tonight, everybody's trying to get out of the
Trump trial. Jordan Klepper is at the courthouse, and John
Leguizama would tell politicians how to round up latinos.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Oh but not like that. No, no, no, no, no, no
like that.
Speaker 5 (00:58):
But first, let's get right to her ongoing coverage of
America's most tremendously wanted.
Speaker 6 (01:10):
The whole thing is a scam.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
Before we get into Trump's trial, Let's be clear about
which trial this is.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Is it the classified documents trial.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
No, the January sixth trial, No, the Georgia Rigo trial. No,
the sexual assault defamation trial. No, the real estate trial. No,
it's the porn money hush love sex knew the trial.
This dude treats criminal charges like pokemon. He's trying to
(01:45):
catch them all. Now, to be clear, Trump is not
on trial for sleeping with the porn star or paying
her hush money. He's on trial because he allegedly falsified
business documents to cover up the hush money, which could
be construed as an unreported campaign expense. This is the
(02:07):
most complicated plot ap porn Star has ever been involved.
Speaker 7 (02:10):
Here.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
Oh so, these last two days they've been trying to
pick yours, and so far they've chosen six.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
But it's been a lot harder than they expected.
Speaker 8 (02:33):
The first batch of ninety six potential jurors was whittled
down to just about a third by the end of Monday.
This morning, several more were dismissed, one because she had
a scheduling conflict, another wasn't feeling well.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
Drewor had a wedding to get to.
Speaker 9 (02:47):
Another individual said that they're concerned about their dog and
was promptly dismissed because like the other sixty five million
American households that owned dogs. Frankly, it's of course going
to be ad somebody's four friend and then.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
So wait, people who think about their dogs too much
get dismissed.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
A jury with no white people. How is that fair
to Trump? Just have them bring the dogs to court.
I see you bringing them.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
Damn dogs to every restaurant I go to anyway, never
stopped you before. Now it's hard finding enough jurors who
have the time to serve, But the real challenge is
finding Jews who have never said anything bad about Trump.
Speaker 10 (03:44):
Part of the day was spent examining prospective jurors old
social media posts about Trump while the former president looked on.
One juror was dismissed for having posted lock him Up,
and another for sharing an AI video in which Trump
appeared to say I'm dumb as I'm seeing to scowl
out of twenty sixteen memes showing photos of him and
Barack Obama with a caption, I don't think this is
(04:06):
what they meant by orange as the new black.
Speaker 11 (04:12):
Damn Yo, this car is rousting down a trout. I
thought this was a courthouse, not a high school cafeteria.
He's gotta be thinking, I thought my dick was on trial,
not myself esteem.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
Wouldn't it be funny if this is the first time
Trump thought, Like, if Trump just found out people think
he's orange, He's like, hold on, you're telling me my
skin is not a natural color.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
You're telling me your sheets don't look like fruit by
the foot.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Crazy.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
But if you think the jurors were trying to get
out of this trial. That's nothing compared to the excuses
Trump was coming up with.
Speaker 12 (04:57):
Speaking outside the courtroom yesterday, Trump criticized a judge overseeing
a case for not ruling on his request to pause
the trial next month so he can attend his son's
high school graduation ceremony.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
It looks like the judges isn't going to allow things.
You will scare the scam to scam trial.
Speaker 12 (05:13):
Trump return of the issue later in the day, writing
on True Social Who will explain for me to my
wonderful son Baron that his dad will likely not be
allowed to attend his graduation ceremony?
Speaker 2 (05:23):
You want someone to explain to your son for you
why you can't be at his graduation?
Speaker 13 (05:33):
Big me, big me, listen, No problem, No problem, I
I will do it.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Hi, Baron, it's your auntie. The say bad news, Bubba.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
Daddy can't come to your graduation because he banged a
porn star. Now, there was one person who actually wanted
to be at Trump's trial for some reason.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
The person who wanted to be there was Jordan Clapper.
Speaker 14 (06:24):
Donald Trump's criminal hush Bunny trial started yesterday, but a
few days Before that, he had a message to his followers.
Speaker 8 (06:32):
Seventy two hours until all hell breaks loose.
Speaker 15 (06:35):
That kind of rhetoric is really in sundiary and dangerous.
Speaker 14 (06:39):
So I went down to the New York County Criminal
Court to witness the carnage for myself. Donald Trump said,
all hell is going to break loose. Are you gonna
go ape shit today?
Speaker 7 (06:49):
I'm not gonna go ape shit today.
Speaker 14 (06:50):
Are you ready to go ape shift today?
Speaker 7 (06:52):
I want to see how it plays out.
Speaker 14 (06:54):
But you're gonna slow walk the ape shit right, slow walking.
Speaker 12 (06:57):
Trump supporters are calm, peaceful tusters.
Speaker 14 (07:00):
Yes, yes, they would never rush into a federal building
and try to disrupt you, saving Donald Trump. We never
advocate for that outside of that January sixth. Then it
is today, the January sixth of April fifteenth.
Speaker 7 (07:10):
Now what January? I was there in January six.
Speaker 6 (07:13):
Yes, I was there.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Where were you inside the rotunda?
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Are you in the office?
Speaker 14 (07:18):
Where you holding a podium?
Speaker 7 (07:19):
Where were you? It was breached before we even got there.
Speaker 14 (07:23):
Because that is that why you're here early today, just
to make sure you get that first wave.
Speaker 7 (07:27):
Well, I have done pretty go back and watch Americas
most want it. I made a grand the fairy stand.
When somebody said we got the week.
Speaker 14 (07:35):
To Sorry God bless, I'll said my tea bow. Do
you think the crowd will remain peaceful here?
Speaker 4 (07:39):
I do so?
Speaker 14 (07:40):
Are you letting him down? Not come in with your
A game?
Speaker 6 (07:43):
Where are your horns?
Speaker 14 (07:44):
I brought my A game, You brought a scarf, you
brought needle hot handmaid man. You guys picked a qan
on Schoman Yet yeah, so like a voodoo boogoaloo somewhere.
Speaker 7 (07:54):
That guy is so articulate and so smart.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
You're talking about the guy with the whole Yes.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
Right, he could smell shit copa amyle away.
Speaker 14 (08:04):
Is that why the QAnon shaman is so good at
smelling ship? Because he was in the same room where
someone was actually defecated inside the Capitol Probably, Well, there
was more press than there were MAGA supporters. I did
run into one January sixth B List star Rudy Giuliani's son.
Speaker 7 (08:19):
Ye I was in Washington, DC on January sixth as well.
I was with President Trump.
Speaker 9 (08:22):
Sure I remember him talking about peacefully protesting.
Speaker 14 (08:25):
Some people were talking about peaceful protests. Some people also
on January sixth, we're talking about trial by combat let's
have trial by combat. You know anybody who was talking
about that, Oh you.
Speaker 8 (08:34):
Know, look, I would say the peaceful protest is the
most important thing.
Speaker 7 (08:37):
No trial by combat.
Speaker 14 (08:38):
Test first, No trial by combat.
Speaker 7 (08:40):
Do you guys even care what's going on inside the
courtroom or not?
Speaker 14 (08:42):
Of course I care about what's going on in the
court room. So let's establish some baseline facts about the trial.
Do you think Donald Trump had sex bestrem me Daniels.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
Oh hell no, you don't think that.
Speaker 14 (08:51):
Now he was with Melania who Now he's just always
been a one woman man.
Speaker 7 (08:55):
Listen, he probably hasn't been. But women have thrown themselves
at Trump for the old Mighty Dalla, all those holes.
They had three and a half years to go after Trump,
for all these stupid trials. Why are they waiting till
right now?
Speaker 14 (09:09):
Is it possible they're waiting till right now because Trump
consistently delayed the trials? Has Labe Well? Trump complains about
liberal bias. It seemed the most qualified jurors were outside
the courthouse.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Trump, do you think you can be an unbiased er?
Speaker 7 (09:25):
Of course I can.
Speaker 14 (09:26):
Do you have any feelings or opinions about how mister
Trump is being treated?
Speaker 7 (09:29):
In this case, I absolutely do you do? Where are
those feelings?
Speaker 16 (09:33):
I have feelings that if you commit a crime, then
you should go to trial.
Speaker 7 (09:38):
Great, that's it.
Speaker 14 (09:39):
Do you support this trial?
Speaker 2 (09:40):
No, because it's not a trial.
Speaker 14 (09:42):
Oh well, then I'm sorry. There's no room for you
on this jury. But apparently it was the venue itself
that presented the most bias.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Trump cannot get a fair trial in a ninety plus
percent Democrat city like New York the city.
Speaker 14 (09:56):
Where can Trump get a fair trial?
Speaker 2 (09:59):
In the midwa in Ohio and Florida.
Speaker 14 (10:02):
He's on trial in Florida, he's on trial in Georgia.
Will you accept the results of those trials?
Speaker 17 (10:07):
No?
Speaker 14 (10:08):
So the Maga sphere is ready for accountability, just not
anywhere on this planet.
Speaker 7 (10:16):
Don't cover everybody.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
When we come back, John Leguizama will be here, so
don't gommal a.
Speaker 13 (10:42):
Welcome back to the Belly Show.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
Now we all know that I've got great opinions, but
I'm not the only one.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Studies show that other people also have opinions.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
So here with another installment of in my opinion and
is our good friend John Leguizamo, Yo, yo yo, what's up?
Speaker 6 (11:10):
What's up?
Speaker 4 (11:11):
I'm John Leguizamo, and I'm back and I'm more fired
up than ever. That's right, because this election season, everybody
wants to covet it Latino vote and a lot of
you may not.
Speaker 6 (11:23):
Know this, but I'm Latino. Whoo oh yeah, yeah, I'm glad.
I got that off my chest.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Now, So thirty six million Latinos will be eligible to
vote this November. We are the fastest growing population in America.
That's right, fastest growing.
Speaker 6 (11:44):
You know what that means.
Speaker 7 (11:46):
We befriending.
Speaker 6 (11:52):
To the side, to the top.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
I'm sorry, they'll say it says our vote is so
crucial a Weello. Joe is working overtime.
Speaker 18 (12:05):
The Biden campaign is spending thirty million dollars. That's on
top of twenty five million dollars they have spent on Spanish,
Spanglish and English ads of targeting Latino voters.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
He met with a group of Latino voters at a
Mexican restaurant.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Well, you know, I need you.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
I need you badly.
Speaker 14 (12:20):
I need to help come online, desperately needs your help.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Oh Biden, you need me badly right here, right now.
But we're married men, it wouldn't be right.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
Oh but yo, I got to say.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
I got to say, I'm impressed Biden is dropping over
fifty million dollars on US people. Oh my, come on,
the last time I white man spend that much money
on Latinos, Ben Affleck was buying an engagement ring.
Speaker 6 (13:10):
Jay to the Low.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
So if Bien is spending millions to get the Latino vote,
I wonder what Trump's doing to keep up.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
The Trump campaign.
Speaker 18 (13:19):
They've really just sort of recycled a campaign ad from
twenty twenty.
Speaker 7 (13:31):
What the hell was that?
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Why does he like his He danced like he's jerking
off an invisible sat saban.
Speaker 6 (13:46):
I mean, clearly Trump.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Isn't making any effort to get Latino voters or making
their priority. But the thing that hurts me the most
is that his lazy ass strategy is actually working.
Speaker 10 (13:58):
A recent New York Times seeing a college bull shows
former President Trump gaining grounds among Latino voters.
Speaker 9 (14:03):
The preference among Latino voters, I think it's at forty
six percent Donald Trump, forty percent Joe Biden.
Speaker 6 (14:10):
Excuse me for a second, please.
Speaker 7 (14:15):
Please play web make.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Fudy my baddy though, I'm sorry, where was I?
Speaker 8 (14:34):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (14:34):
Yeah, right.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
It looks like the Democrats are in trouble, and you
might be thinking, how is this possible?
Speaker 6 (14:44):
Donald Trump is winning Latinos.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
Build the Wall, Donald Trump, mass deportations, Donald Trump. Guy
who thinks Daddy Yankee is a baseball player, Donald Trump.
The truth is in twenty twenty four, Latino voters have
something else on their minds.
Speaker 9 (15:05):
The number one issue for Latino voters is inflation and
the economy.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Like it is for so many voters.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
Fifty four percent of Latinos ranked inflation and the rising
cost of living as one of their top three issues,
and that it ranks even healthcare, crime, immigration.
Speaker 6 (15:20):
That's right for Latinos. This election is all about inflation,
and that makes sense.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Inflation is bad right now, They're going to have to
change the name of the game show to the Price
is What Now? And if your top concern is high prices,
I get why you might lean Trump people associated with
lower prices, even though he sells four hundred dollars sneakers
that look like my cousin Papo's teeth. The problem is
(15:53):
when it comes to fixing inflation, this Cucci frito looking
mother ain't got shit.
Speaker 16 (16:00):
If elected president again, what is the first thing you
would do to help bring down the cost to make
things more affordable.
Speaker 17 (16:08):
Drill, baby, drill is your answer to getting inflation down.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
Drill drill, drill independent oil. Well, among other things, it's drill, drill, drill. Yeah,
it's drill, drill, drill.
Speaker 7 (16:18):
What's your answer? There is no jo?
Speaker 6 (16:20):
Well, so you have to get the oil. Well, you
heard it here first, me brothers.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Trump's one and only plan to fix inflation is to
drill for oil. But guess what, President Biden's already drilling
more oil than anyone in history, more than Trump ever
did when he was president. Now you know, maybe Trump
has discovered some new special drilling technique that no one
else knows about. Maybe he drills the oil really hard
(16:46):
for thirty seconds.
Speaker 6 (16:50):
And then makes it sign an NDA just then. But otherwise,
drilling foil clearly ain't the answer.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Okay, except Trump told us himself he doesn't have any
other answers. In fact, Trump's plan to slap extreme tariffs
on China will make inflation much much worse. Yeah, Trump
wants to pick another fight with China, probably just jealous
because they actually built their wall. So you really believe
(17:29):
Trump can fix inflation? Look, I'm here to tell you
hell madre. Nah, Well, here's what you can count on, though.
No matter what Trump says about inflation, he doesn't like
us and he doesn't want us here. And you know
(17:51):
how I know because he stopped deep throating burgers long
enough to admit it out loud.
Speaker 17 (17:57):
The New York Times reports that he made some comments
about immigration. He said, quote, why can't we allow people
to come in from nice countries, you know, like Denmark
and Switzerland?
Speaker 6 (18:11):
Donald, stop beating around the bush.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
We want nice people, Swiss people, Ski instructors, Wes Anderson.
Speaker 6 (18:20):
Fans just say white people.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
And yeah, of course Trump likes countries where everyone looks
like Ivanka.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
But I've got bad news for you, Donald. They don't
want to put you either.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
So to my fellow latinas e Latinos, I know you
think Trump is your guy on inflation, but let's be
smart about it, okay, because if Joe Biden wants to win,
he really does need us badly. But when you consider
the alternative, we may need him too, because if Trump wins,
the only happy life Latinos.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
Will be the salsa band who's jerking off.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
Welcome back to the Daily Show, Hi, guest tonight is
the prop writer, writer, and star of the NBC sitcom.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Lopez Breaths Lopez. Please welcome, my.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Love, Harol Han, hey baby, Hello.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Now just to start because this did recently air. Yes,
now for you those of you who don't know not
to we've both been guest judges on Route Pas.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
John Brandy.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
And I did have to bring this up because I
am a daughter of the House of Kolby. Thank you
very much much. Yes, but what was the experience, like
how is mother.
Speaker 8 (20:24):
Not?
Speaker 2 (20:24):
There was everything you want her to be and more.
Speaker 8 (20:27):
You know.
Speaker 16 (20:28):
I always joke that now I'm working with my father
so that I could work with mother, Like no, no,
it was really the one of the best days of
my life. I joke that only the birth of my
first child is going to beat that day for me,
because that show has just meant so much to me
in the strength of drag queens and to be a
part of that community and to support them like they've
(20:48):
always supported me and the platform that they need right
now in that community.
Speaker 6 (20:52):
So why.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
And it's kind of the same thing for me because
people ask me, like, you know, with everything you have
going on, like what's the thing that kind of pushes
you and RuPaul at the end of every episode says
if you can't love yourself, the hell you're gonna live
somebody else.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Yes, And there are moments from just like do I
love me?
Speaker 13 (21:15):
Do I love me?
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Because I definitely loved this man, but do.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
I love me?
Speaker 2 (21:18):
And I was like, I think I can love him
and me? Or is that gaslating myself? Don't worry, he
will gaslight for you. Sis, do not worry because if
men do anything, they lie.
Speaker 16 (21:30):
So yes, yes, So I have had made my dad
liked me part of my career.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
So there we get So.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
So it's a joke.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
She had a whole TV show about her daddy.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
Y'all need to relax, hey, because I don't know a
lot of people. A lot of people do not know
this because not only do you star in Lopez Versus Lopez,
you are the co creator, writer, and executive producer. What's
(22:07):
it like establishing your own voice and comedy with the
hit network sitcom.
Speaker 16 (22:12):
It's incredibly special to me, I think, you know, even
having John just right here, being a Latina on a
network television show, and to be able to represent telling
stories that are personal to me but also personal to
my community, and to be able to have fun and
really do what I've always wanted to do. I've studied
at Second City, doing improv and sketch and to find
(22:35):
my own voice and also do it with my dad,
who I've always looked up to, and were able to
work together in this way and to make people laugh
and see themselves through our relationship and to help heal
people is all I wanted to do. It's always wanted
to make my pain, put it into art and make
people view that way amazing.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
So Lopez Versus Lopez is the only only, yeah Latino
centered sitcom on TV right now?
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (23:13):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Does that feel like a lot of pressure to have
to represent the community?
Speaker 6 (23:19):
Yes?
Speaker 17 (23:19):
And no.
Speaker 16 (23:20):
I feel like I am so proud that our show
has been being a success, but also at the same time,
it's sad that we're the only one. But I hope
that us being able to keep pushing and having the
fans that we do push other shows to come before us.
There are great and wonderful shows that have been canceled
like Goordi to Chronicles and other shows that one day
(23:43):
at a time, One day at a time absolutely with
love on Amazon, like there's so many in Primo and
there's so many more and we are so much of
the population, and as John was saying, and we should
be able to push and be able to tell our stories.
Speaker 7 (23:59):
That's absolutely hopefully.
Speaker 6 (24:01):
And also I'll t I like to think that our
show is for everyone.
Speaker 16 (24:06):
Where does that family that happens to be Latino? As
you know, we try to put the fun in dysfunctions.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
Well, I mean that's amazing because there is one episode now,
not to be controversial, yes, but you know, language is
a huge part of any culture's identity, and there is
an episode where you reveal to everyone that you don't
speak Spanish.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Yeah, how was that received by the community and people?
Because I know that was probably like a huge, huge problem.
Speaker 16 (24:33):
It was because it's that that's an example of how
I've taken something that I've experienced in my life and
put it into the show. Because really, if you don't
speak Spanish within the community, it takes you you're not
Latina enough, or you know, I've gotten that you don't
represent us and language is only a part of it.
Speaker 6 (24:51):
Yes, is it?
Speaker 16 (24:51):
I have dual lingo premium in my trying.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Yes, but it.
Speaker 16 (24:56):
Doesn't take away from my identity of being a proud Latin,
and so to be able to have that episode out
there and saying those things, I've gotten people saying thank
you because I've been able to point to the screen
and show my family this is what I'm feeling. And
that episode in particular is something that's very specific within
the community, and I'm very glad that we were able
(25:19):
to do that.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
So I'm excited. Yeah, I can tell you.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
As someone who's not a Latino, but I do speak Spanish. Oh,
doing le's trash, girl, do leingus trash. Gosh, you just
got to go to our like outside, literally, go to
Akana Setia.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
I met a nice man.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
Buy some meat. You'll learn all the Spanish. He will
propose to you, but you will get some free meat.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
So that's all I'm saying.
Speaker 16 (25:47):
See, I think I've gotten proposals, but I just don't.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Know what they're saying. So they always got a girlfriend
and a wife somewhere.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
So don't say yes until he starts giving you like
meat that's like fifteen dollars a pound.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Then you never really go like, you know what, he
is a nice man. H You're right, You're right now.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
Your father gives you the space to create and make
the show on your own right. But you know you've
been open about the pressure that comes with being a
number two.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
How do you manage the pressure on being like a
personal level and then playing a version of yourself on TV?
Speaker 16 (26:19):
Well, I call my character Schmayan. I call her sitcom Mayan,
because if not, it just gets really confusing. Because there
been sometimes when we're filming and they're like, Mayan, you
read that line very angry, and I'm like, oh, that
was me saying get it, and not the character, but
playing someone that is a version of myself. It's hard
(26:41):
to not personalize or bring it into work. I have
to protect myself. But I think having to do that
is also something that's so beautiful about what we do
on the show is because it's authentic and it's personal.
Like sometimes there are real conversations that my dad and
I are having and that we've never had in real life,
but yet we're having it in a live studio audience
and so really, you know, it's like art imitates life,
(27:03):
but also life like also inspires like.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
The art of everything. I mean that makes sense that.
Speaker 16 (27:12):
Yeah, it can get really confusing and the lines can
get cross, but through now that we're in our second season,
we're able to have more fun. But I was definitely
growing and learning through myself and it was also very
therapeutic and also being able to put your r out
there at the same time.
Speaker 7 (27:27):
So it was.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Therapeutic to be able to have conversations that you couldn't
have in real life.
Speaker 6 (27:31):
M hm, to have on the show.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Yes, how do you keep that divided?
Speaker 16 (27:38):
I have my therapist and my favorites on my phone. No,
I think there's a lot of acceptance that has had
to go through. We've my dad and I our relationship
has grown a lot. But you know, a sitcom doesn't
solve everything, and we're able to just continue to go forward.
(28:02):
You know, it's like we bicker, you know, where it's
like a fall and a daughter, Like how would you
be doing a sitcom with your parent? You know, it's
like always yeah, exactly right. No, But we have like
we have such an incredible cast and I feel like
we're also making up for lost time. It's really wonderful
and to be able to tell the stories that we're
able to tell and we're just having fun. Like this season,
the episodes that are airing, we have ten incredible episodes.
(28:25):
We just even having Cheech and Chong and to so
to be able to have these Latino like legends onto
the show also is amplifying the platform and being able
to do what we do and having just an incredible
supportive cast.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Well, that's amazing. You have one final question for you now,
be honest. If you had your drugs mm hmm and
you were able to recast your dady, who.
Speaker 7 (28:57):
Would it be?
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Is it like a job likemo Pedro Pasca? Would you
if God forbid you are given the choice to recast
that man, who would you pick? Oh, that is a
good question.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
I got all thought in life or on TV.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
I was like micause there's both the same person, Like.
Speaker 16 (29:20):
Ah, gosh, you know I would have to say, you
know why not like say I was thinking John actually
actually like John Magasamo. But you know what, Pedro Pascal
and I have the same birthday, so I'd be like,
I know it is not like a great fun fact,
thank you famous birthdays.
Speaker 7 (29:35):
But what's like but to be like supper.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
So you could have a poppy me birthday. Yes, that
is amazing. Thank you so much for my day.

Speaker 4 (00:14):
This is the Daily Show with your Holes school say Flue.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Hello.
Speaker 5 (00:37):
First, welcome to the Daily Show, goosand.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
We got I'd like to.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
Talk about tonight, everybody's trying to get out of the
Trump trial. Jordan Klepper is at the courthouse, and John
Leguizama would tell politicians how to round up latinos.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Oh but not like that. No, no, no, no, no, no
like that.
Speaker 5 (00:58):
But first, let's get right to her ongoing coverage of
America's most tremendously wanted.
Speaker 6 (01:10):
The whole thing is a scam.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
Before we get into Trump's trial, Let's be clear about
which trial this is.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Is it the classified documents trial.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
No, the January sixth trial, No, the Georgia Rigo trial. No,
the sexual assault defamation trial. No, the real estate trial. No,
it's the porn money hush love sex knew the trial.
This dude treats criminal charges like pokemon. He's trying to
(01:45):
catch them all. Now, to be clear, Trump is not
on trial for sleeping with the porn star or paying
her hush money. He's on trial because he allegedly falsified
business documents to cover up the hush money, which could
be construed as an unreported campaign expense. This is the
(02:07):
most complicated plot ap porn Star has ever been involved.
Speaker 7 (02:10):
Here.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
Oh so, these last two days they've been trying to
pick yours, and so far they've chosen six.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
But it's been a lot harder than they expected.
Speaker 8 (02:33):
The first batch of ninety six potential jurors was whittled
down to just about a third by the end of Monday.
This morning, several more were dismissed, one because she had
a scheduling conflict, another wasn't feeling well.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
Drewor had a wedding to get to.
Speaker 9 (02:47):
Another individual said that they're concerned about their dog and
was promptly dismissed because like the other sixty five million
American households that owned dogs. Frankly, it's of course going
to be ad somebody's four friend and then.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
So wait, people who think about their dogs too much
get dismissed.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
A jury with no white people. How is that fair
to Trump? Just have them bring the dogs to court.
I see you bringing them.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
Damn dogs to every restaurant I go to anyway, never
stopped you before. Now it's hard finding enough jurors who
have the time to serve, But the real challenge is
finding Jews who have never said anything bad about Trump.
Speaker 10 (03:44):
Part of the day was spent examining prospective jurors old
social media posts about Trump while the former president looked on.
One juror was dismissed for having posted lock him Up,
and another for sharing an AI video in which Trump
appeared to say I'm dumb as I'm seeing to scowl
out of twenty sixteen memes showing photos of him and
Barack Obama with a caption, I don't think this is
(04:06):
what they meant by orange as the new black.
Speaker 11 (04:12):
Damn Yo, this car is rousting down a trout. I
thought this was a courthouse, not a high school cafeteria.
He's gotta be thinking, I thought my dick was on trial,
not myself esteem.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
Wouldn't it be funny if this is the first time
Trump thought, Like, if Trump just found out people think
he's orange, He's like, hold on, you're telling me my
skin is not a natural color.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
You're telling me your sheets don't look like fruit by
the foot.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Crazy.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
But if you think the jurors were trying to get
out of this trial. That's nothing compared to the excuses
Trump was coming up with.
Speaker 12 (04:57):
Speaking outside the courtroom yesterday, Trump criticized a judge overseeing
a case for not ruling on his request to pause
the trial next month so he can attend his son's
high school graduation ceremony.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
It looks like the judges isn't going to allow things.
You will scare the scam to scam trial.
Speaker 12 (05:13):
Trump return of the issue later in the day, writing
on True Social Who will explain for me to my
wonderful son Baron that his dad will likely not be
allowed to attend his graduation ceremony?
Speaker 2 (05:23):
You want someone to explain to your son for you
why you can't be at his graduation?
Speaker 13 (05:33):
Big me, big me, listen, No problem, No problem, I
I will do it.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Hi, Baron, it's your auntie. The say bad news, Bubba.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
Daddy can't come to your graduation because he banged a
porn star. Now, there was one person who actually wanted
to be at Trump's trial for some reason.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
The person who wanted to be there was Jordan Clapper.
Speaker 14 (06:24):
Donald Trump's criminal hush Bunny trial started yesterday, but a
few days Before that, he had a message to his followers.
Speaker 8 (06:32):
Seventy two hours until all hell breaks loose.
Speaker 15 (06:35):
That kind of rhetoric is really in sundiary and dangerous.
Speaker 14 (06:39):
So I went down to the New York County Criminal
Court to witness the carnage for myself. Donald Trump said,
all hell is going to break loose. Are you gonna
go ape shit today?
Speaker 7 (06:49):
I'm not gonna go ape shit today.
Speaker 14 (06:50):
Are you ready to go ape shift today?
Speaker 7 (06:52):
I want to see how it plays out.
Speaker 14 (06:54):
But you're gonna slow walk the ape shit right, slow walking.
Speaker 12 (06:57):
Trump supporters are calm, peaceful tusters.
Speaker 14 (07:00):
Yes, yes, they would never rush into a federal building
and try to disrupt you, saving Donald Trump. We never
advocate for that outside of that January sixth. Then it
is today, the January sixth of April fifteenth.
Speaker 7 (07:10):
Now what January? I was there in January six.
Speaker 6 (07:13):
Yes, I was there.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Where were you inside the rotunda?
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Are you in the office?
Speaker 14 (07:18):
Where you holding a podium?
Speaker 7 (07:19):
Where were you? It was breached before we even got there.
Speaker 14 (07:23):
Because that is that why you're here early today, just
to make sure you get that first wave.
Speaker 7 (07:27):
Well, I have done pretty go back and watch Americas
most want it. I made a grand the fairy stand.
When somebody said we got the week.
Speaker 14 (07:35):
To Sorry God bless, I'll said my tea bow. Do
you think the crowd will remain peaceful here?
Speaker 4 (07:39):
I do so?
Speaker 14 (07:40):
Are you letting him down? Not come in with your
A game?
Speaker 6 (07:43):
Where are your horns?
Speaker 14 (07:44):
I brought my A game, You brought a scarf, you
brought needle hot handmaid man. You guys picked a qan
on Schoman Yet yeah, so like a voodoo boogoaloo somewhere.
Speaker 7 (07:54):
That guy is so articulate and so smart.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
You're talking about the guy with the whole Yes.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
Right, he could smell shit copa amyle away.
Speaker 14 (08:04):
Is that why the QAnon shaman is so good at
smelling ship? Because he was in the same room where
someone was actually defecated inside the Capitol Probably, Well, there
was more press than there were MAGA supporters. I did
run into one January sixth B List star Rudy Giuliani's son.
Speaker 7 (08:19):
Ye I was in Washington, DC on January sixth as well.
I was with President Trump.
Speaker 9 (08:22):
Sure I remember him talking about peacefully protesting.
Speaker 14 (08:25):
Some people were talking about peaceful protests. Some people also
on January sixth, we're talking about trial by combat let's
have trial by combat. You know anybody who was talking
about that, Oh you.
Speaker 8 (08:34):
Know, look, I would say the peaceful protest is the
most important thing.
Speaker 7 (08:37):
No trial by combat.
Speaker 14 (08:38):
Test first, No trial by combat.
Speaker 7 (08:40):
Do you guys even care what's going on inside the
courtroom or not?
Speaker 14 (08:42):
Of course I care about what's going on in the
court room. So let's establish some baseline facts about the trial.
Do you think Donald Trump had sex bestrem me Daniels.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
Oh hell no, you don't think that.
Speaker 14 (08:51):
Now he was with Melania who Now he's just always
been a one woman man.
Speaker 7 (08:55):
Listen, he probably hasn't been. But women have thrown themselves
at Trump for the old Mighty Dalla, all those holes.
They had three and a half years to go after Trump,
for all these stupid trials. Why are they waiting till
right now?
Speaker 14 (09:09):
Is it possible they're waiting till right now because Trump
consistently delayed the trials? Has Labe Well? Trump complains about
liberal bias. It seemed the most qualified jurors were outside
the courthouse.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Trump, do you think you can be an unbiased er?
Speaker 7 (09:25):
Of course I can.
Speaker 14 (09:26):
Do you have any feelings or opinions about how mister
Trump is being treated?
Speaker 7 (09:29):
In this case, I absolutely do you do? Where are
those feelings?
Speaker 16 (09:33):
I have feelings that if you commit a crime, then
you should go to trial.
Speaker 7 (09:38):
Great, that's it.
Speaker 14 (09:39):
Do you support this trial?
Speaker 2 (09:40):
No, because it's not a trial.
Speaker 14 (09:42):
Oh well, then I'm sorry. There's no room for you
on this jury. But apparently it was the venue itself
that presented the most bias.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Trump cannot get a fair trial in a ninety plus
percent Democrat city like New York the city.
Speaker 14 (09:56):
Where can Trump get a fair trial?
Speaker 2 (09:59):
In the midwa in Ohio and Florida.
Speaker 14 (10:02):
He's on trial in Florida, he's on trial in Georgia.
Will you accept the results of those trials?
Speaker 17 (10:07):
No?
Speaker 14 (10:08):
So the Maga sphere is ready for accountability, just not
anywhere on this planet.
Speaker 7 (10:16):
Don't cover everybody.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
When we come back, John Leguizama will be here, so
don't gommal a.
Speaker 13 (10:42):
Welcome back to the Belly Show.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
Now we all know that I've got great opinions, but
I'm not the only one.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Studies show that other people also have opinions.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
So here with another installment of in my opinion and
is our good friend John Leguizamo, Yo, yo yo, what's up?
Speaker 6 (11:10):
What's up?
Speaker 4 (11:11):
I'm John Leguizamo, and I'm back and I'm more fired
up than ever. That's right, because this election season, everybody
wants to covet it Latino vote and a lot of
you may not.
Speaker 6 (11:23):
Know this, but I'm Latino. Whoo oh yeah, yeah, I'm glad.
I got that off my chest.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Now, So thirty six million Latinos will be eligible to
vote this November. We are the fastest growing population in America.
That's right, fastest growing.
Speaker 6 (11:44):
You know what that means.
Speaker 7 (11:46):
We befriending.
Speaker 6 (11:52):
To the side, to the top.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
I'm sorry, they'll say it says our vote is so
crucial a Weello. Joe is working overtime.
Speaker 18 (12:05):
The Biden campaign is spending thirty million dollars. That's on
top of twenty five million dollars they have spent on Spanish,
Spanglish and English ads of targeting Latino voters.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
He met with a group of Latino voters at a
Mexican restaurant.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Well, you know, I need you.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
I need you badly.
Speaker 14 (12:20):
I need to help come online, desperately needs your help.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Oh Biden, you need me badly right here, right now.
But we're married men, it wouldn't be right.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
Oh but yo, I got to say.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
I got to say, I'm impressed Biden is dropping over
fifty million dollars on US people. Oh my, come on,
the last time I white man spend that much money
on Latinos, Ben Affleck was buying an engagement ring.
Speaker 6 (13:10):
Jay to the Low.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
So if Bien is spending millions to get the Latino vote,
I wonder what Trump's doing to keep up.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
The Trump campaign.
Speaker 18 (13:19):
They've really just sort of recycled a campaign ad from
twenty twenty.
Speaker 7 (13:31):
What the hell was that?
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Why does he like his He danced like he's jerking
off an invisible sat saban.
Speaker 6 (13:46):
I mean, clearly Trump.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Isn't making any effort to get Latino voters or making
their priority. But the thing that hurts me the most
is that his lazy ass strategy is actually working.
Speaker 10 (13:58):
A recent New York Times seeing a college bull shows
former President Trump gaining grounds among Latino voters.
Speaker 9 (14:03):
The preference among Latino voters, I think it's at forty
six percent Donald Trump, forty percent Joe Biden.
Speaker 6 (14:10):
Excuse me for a second, please.
Speaker 7 (14:15):
Please play web make.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Fudy my baddy though, I'm sorry, where was I?
Speaker 8 (14:34):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (14:34):
Yeah, right.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
It looks like the Democrats are in trouble, and you
might be thinking, how is this possible?
Speaker 6 (14:44):
Donald Trump is winning Latinos.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
Build the Wall, Donald Trump, mass deportations, Donald Trump. Guy
who thinks Daddy Yankee is a baseball player, Donald Trump.
The truth is in twenty twenty four, Latino voters have
something else on their minds.
Speaker 9 (15:05):
The number one issue for Latino voters is inflation and
the economy.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Like it is for so many voters.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
Fifty four percent of Latinos ranked inflation and the rising
cost of living as one of their top three issues,
and that it ranks even healthcare, crime, immigration.
Speaker 6 (15:20):
That's right for Latinos. This election is all about inflation,
and that makes sense.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Inflation is bad right now, They're going to have to
change the name of the game show to the Price
is What Now? And if your top concern is high prices,
I get why you might lean Trump people associated with
lower prices, even though he sells four hundred dollars sneakers
that look like my cousin Papo's teeth. The problem is
(15:53):
when it comes to fixing inflation, this Cucci frito looking
mother ain't got shit.
Speaker 16 (16:00):
If elected president again, what is the first thing you
would do to help bring down the cost to make
things more affordable.
Speaker 17 (16:08):
Drill, baby, drill is your answer to getting inflation down.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
Drill drill, drill independent oil. Well, among other things, it's drill, drill, drill. Yeah,
it's drill, drill, drill.
Speaker 7 (16:18):
What's your answer? There is no jo?
Speaker 6 (16:20):
Well, so you have to get the oil. Well, you
heard it here first, me brothers.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Trump's one and only plan to fix inflation is to
drill for oil. But guess what, President Biden's already drilling
more oil than anyone in history, more than Trump ever
did when he was president. Now you know, maybe Trump
has discovered some new special drilling technique that no one
else knows about. Maybe he drills the oil really hard
(16:46):
for thirty seconds.
Speaker 6 (16:50):
And then makes it sign an NDA just then. But otherwise,
drilling foil clearly ain't the answer.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Okay, except Trump told us himself he doesn't have any
other answers. In fact, Trump's plan to slap extreme tariffs
on China will make inflation much much worse. Yeah, Trump
wants to pick another fight with China, probably just jealous
because they actually built their wall. So you really believe
(17:29):
Trump can fix inflation? Look, I'm here to tell you
hell madre. Nah, Well, here's what you can count on, though.
No matter what Trump says about inflation, he doesn't like
us and he doesn't want us here. And you know
(17:51):
how I know because he stopped deep throating burgers long
enough to admit it out loud.
Speaker 17 (17:57):
The New York Times reports that he made some comments
about immigration. He said, quote, why can't we allow people
to come in from nice countries, you know, like Denmark
and Switzerland?
Speaker 6 (18:11):
Donald, stop beating around the bush.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
We want nice people, Swiss people, Ski instructors, Wes Anderson.
Speaker 6 (18:20):
Fans just say white people.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
And yeah, of course Trump likes countries where everyone looks
like Ivanka.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
But I've got bad news for you, Donald. They don't
want to put you either.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
So to my fellow latinas e Latinos, I know you
think Trump is your guy on inflation, but let's be
smart about it, okay, because if Joe Biden wants to win,
he really does need us badly. But when you consider
the alternative, we may need him too, because if Trump wins,
the only happy life Latinos.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
Will be the salsa band who's jerking off.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
Welcome back to the Daily Show, Hi, guest tonight is
the prop writer, writer, and star of the NBC sitcom.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Lopez Breaths Lopez. Please welcome, my.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Love, Harol Han, hey baby, Hello.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Now just to start because this did recently air. Yes,
now for you those of you who don't know not
to we've both been guest judges on Route Pas.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
John Brandy.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
And I did have to bring this up because I
am a daughter of the House of Kolby. Thank you
very much much. Yes, but what was the experience, like
how is mother.
Speaker 8 (20:24):
Not?
Speaker 2 (20:24):
There was everything you want her to be and more.
Speaker 8 (20:27):
You know.
Speaker 16 (20:28):
I always joke that now I'm working with my father
so that I could work with mother, Like no, no,
it was really the one of the best days of
my life. I joke that only the birth of my
first child is going to beat that day for me,
because that show has just meant so much to me
in the strength of drag queens and to be a
part of that community and to support them like they've
(20:48):
always supported me and the platform that they need right
now in that community.
Speaker 6 (20:52):
So why.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
And it's kind of the same thing for me because
people ask me, like, you know, with everything you have
going on, like what's the thing that kind of pushes
you and RuPaul at the end of every episode says
if you can't love yourself, the hell you're gonna live
somebody else.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Yes, And there are moments from just like do I
love me?
Speaker 13 (21:15):
Do I love me?
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Because I definitely loved this man, but do.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
I love me?
Speaker 2 (21:18):
And I was like, I think I can love him
and me? Or is that gaslating myself? Don't worry, he
will gaslight for you. Sis, do not worry because if
men do anything, they lie.
Speaker 16 (21:30):
So yes, yes, So I have had made my dad
liked me part of my career.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
So there we get So.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
So it's a joke.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
She had a whole TV show about her daddy.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
Y'all need to relax, hey, because I don't know a
lot of people. A lot of people do not know
this because not only do you star in Lopez Versus Lopez,
you are the co creator, writer, and executive producer. What's
(22:07):
it like establishing your own voice and comedy with the
hit network sitcom.
Speaker 16 (22:12):
It's incredibly special to me, I think, you know, even
having John just right here, being a Latina on a
network television show, and to be able to represent telling
stories that are personal to me but also personal to
my community, and to be able to have fun and
really do what I've always wanted to do. I've studied
at Second City, doing improv and sketch and to find
(22:35):
my own voice and also do it with my dad,
who I've always looked up to, and were able to
work together in this way and to make people laugh
and see themselves through our relationship and to help heal
people is all I wanted to do. It's always wanted
to make my pain, put it into art and make
people view that way amazing.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
So Lopez Versus Lopez is the only only, yeah Latino
centered sitcom on TV right now?
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (23:13):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Does that feel like a lot of pressure to have
to represent the community?
Speaker 6 (23:19):
Yes?
Speaker 17 (23:19):
And no.
Speaker 16 (23:20):
I feel like I am so proud that our show
has been being a success, but also at the same time,
it's sad that we're the only one. But I hope
that us being able to keep pushing and having the
fans that we do push other shows to come before us.
There are great and wonderful shows that have been canceled
like Goordi to Chronicles and other shows that one day
(23:43):
at a time, One day at a time absolutely with
love on Amazon, like there's so many in Primo and
there's so many more and we are so much of
the population, and as John was saying, and we should
be able to push and be able to tell our stories.
Speaker 7 (23:59):
That's absolutely hopefully.
Speaker 6 (24:01):
And also I'll t I like to think that our
show is for everyone.
Speaker 16 (24:06):
Where does that family that happens to be Latino? As
you know, we try to put the fun in dysfunctions.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
Well, I mean that's amazing because there is one episode now,
not to be controversial, yes, but you know, language is
a huge part of any culture's identity, and there is
an episode where you reveal to everyone that you don't
speak Spanish.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Yeah, how was that received by the community and people?
Because I know that was probably like a huge, huge problem.
Speaker 16 (24:33):
It was because it's that that's an example of how
I've taken something that I've experienced in my life and
put it into the show. Because really, if you don't
speak Spanish within the community, it takes you you're not
Latina enough, or you know, I've gotten that you don't
represent us and language is only a part of it.
Speaker 6 (24:51):
Yes, is it?
Speaker 16 (24:51):
I have dual lingo premium in my trying.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Yes, but it.
Speaker 16 (24:56):
Doesn't take away from my identity of being a proud Latin,
and so to be able to have that episode out
there and saying those things, I've gotten people saying thank
you because I've been able to point to the screen
and show my family this is what I'm feeling. And
that episode in particular is something that's very specific within
the community, and I'm very glad that we were able
(25:19):
to do that.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
So I'm excited. Yeah, I can tell you.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
As someone who's not a Latino, but I do speak Spanish. Oh,
doing le's trash, girl, do leingus trash. Gosh, you just
got to go to our like outside, literally, go to
Akana Setia.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
I met a nice man.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
Buy some meat. You'll learn all the Spanish. He will
propose to you, but you will get some free meat.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
So that's all I'm saying.
Speaker 16 (25:47):
See, I think I've gotten proposals, but I just don't.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Know what they're saying. So they always got a girlfriend
and a wife somewhere.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
So don't say yes until he starts giving you like
meat that's like fifteen dollars a pound.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Then you never really go like, you know what, he
is a nice man. H You're right, You're right now.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
Your father gives you the space to create and make
the show on your own right. But you know you've
been open about the pressure that comes with being a
number two.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
How do you manage the pressure on being like a
personal level and then playing a version of yourself on TV?
Speaker 16 (26:19):
Well, I call my character Schmayan. I call her sitcom Mayan,
because if not, it just gets really confusing. Because there
been sometimes when we're filming and they're like, Mayan, you
read that line very angry, and I'm like, oh, that
was me saying get it, and not the character, but
playing someone that is a version of myself. It's hard
(26:41):
to not personalize or bring it into work. I have
to protect myself. But I think having to do that
is also something that's so beautiful about what we do
on the show is because it's authentic and it's personal.
Like sometimes there are real conversations that my dad and
I are having and that we've never had in real life,
but yet we're having it in a live studio audience
and so really, you know, it's like art imitates life,
(27:03):
but also life like also inspires like.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
The art of everything. I mean that makes sense that.
Speaker 16 (27:12):
Yeah, it can get really confusing and the lines can
get cross, but through now that we're in our second season,
we're able to have more fun. But I was definitely
growing and learning through myself and it was also very
therapeutic and also being able to put your r out
there at the same time.
Speaker 7 (27:27):
So it was.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Therapeutic to be able to have conversations that you couldn't
have in real life.
Speaker 6 (27:31):
M hm, to have on the show.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Yes, how do you keep that divided?
Speaker 16 (27:38):
I have my therapist and my favorites on my phone. No,
I think there's a lot of acceptance that has had
to go through. We've my dad and I our relationship
has grown a lot. But you know, a sitcom doesn't
solve everything, and we're able to just continue to go forward.
(28:02):
You know, it's like we bicker, you know, where it's
like a fall and a daughter, Like how would you
be doing a sitcom with your parent? You know, it's
like always yeah, exactly right. No, But we have like
we have such an incredible cast and I feel like
we're also making up for lost time. It's really wonderful
and to be able to tell the stories that we're
able to tell and we're just having fun. Like this season,
the episodes that are airing, we have ten incredible episodes.
(28:25):
We just even having Cheech and Chong and to so
to be able to have these Latino like legends onto
the show also is amplifying the platform and being able
to do what we do and having just an incredible
supportive cast.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Well, that's amazing. You have one final question for you now,
be honest. If you had your drugs mm hmm and
you were able to recast your dady, who.
Speaker 7 (28:57):
Would it be?
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Is it like a job likemo Pedro Pasca? Would you
if God forbid you are given the choice to recast
that man, who would you pick? Oh, that is a
good question.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
I got all thought in life or on TV.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
I was like micause there's both the same person, Like.
Speaker 16 (29:20):
Ah, gosh, you know I would have to say, you
know why not like say I was thinking John actually
actually like John Magasamo. But you know what, Pedro Pascal
and I have the same birthday, so I'd be like,
I know it is not like a great fun fact,
thank you famous birthdays.
Speaker 7 (29:35):
But what's like but to be like supper.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
So you could have a poppy me birthday. Yes, that
is amazing. Thank you so much for my day.
