We've got a good one in the area. We're cooking. We're cooking. Welcome to the

Middle East Show on Michael Foss that we've got so much to talk about tonight.

Iran posts a new job listing Chuck Schumer has a nuclear meltdown,

and the BAFTA wars went proper a rise up. So let's kick things up with the latest on America's war

with Iran. Nothing bad can happen. It can only good happen.

We're now five days into our war with Iran, and things are looking just a little bit

I see. No one seems to have a clear plan for the war, or even a clear reason why we started it.

And apparently America's military is even at risk of running out of weapons,

which is one problem I never thought America would have. I thought we had an unlimited

stockpile of those like spin-offs of Yellowstone. Oh, by the way, tune in to Paramount Plus

for the world premiere of Yellowstone in Space. But despite all those problems,

the good news is Donald Trump is in charge, and I'm sure he's diligently thought through all

of the wartime scenarios. What's the worst case scenario that you have a plan for in Iran?

Well, I don't know if there's a worst case. I guess the worst case would be we do this,

and then somebody takes over who's as bad as the previous person, right? They could happen.

Yeah, no shit! You're just thinking about this now? I do six months of research before I buy a

new shampoo. Trump's like, I just realized starting a war in the Middle East could have some downsides,

huh? So it's a little disturbing that he says it as casually as when you realize you've never seen

a bird's penis before. Do they even have them? But Trump's right. You don't want a new leader who

is just as bad as the old one. So I'm sure the administration has a deep bench of candidates

ready to step up, right? Right? President Trump said some Iranian officials his administration

was hoping could take over have been killed in the war. Well, most of the people we had in mind

are dead. So, you know, we had some in mind from that group that is dead, and now we have another

group that may be dead also. Well, the good thing is there's a third group. What's that? They're dead

and the fourth group's dead and the fifth group's dead. They're all dead. I can't

can I believe this? You killed all the candidates. Even the ones who were willing to accept a lower

salary because they appreciated the potential for long-term career growth? Now, if I was Iran,

I did what my middle school did when my English teacher had a baby and just let a gym teacher

be the Ayatollah for a little while, but apparently they have another plan. So who is running Iran?

The late Ayatollah son has reportedly emerged as a leading candidate.

Boring. Come on, dude. You're not supposed to follow in your dad's footsteps. Where's your

rebellious spirit? I don't want to be the supreme leader. I just want to dance.

But, you know, the job has a lot of long-term career growth, so I don't see a good reason why he

wouldn't take it. Israel's defense minister this morning said anyone,

Iran, appoints, will be an unequivocal target for elimination.

Damn. An unequivocal target for elimination. What a fancy way to say we're going to kill you.

The Ayatollah son is probably like, you know what? Now that I think about it, I'm not really

a management type. I'm kind of one of a creative guy. Now, my asshole, stepbrother though,

he's Ayatollah material for sure. You know what? The plan for succession is not going well.

How about the war itself? And I don't need to hear from Donald Trump this time.

Surely there must be a more sober voice in this administration.

America is winning decisively, devastatingly, and without mercy. Iran cannot outlast us.

We control their fate. They are toast and they know it. This was never meant to be a fair fight.

And it is not a fair fight. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa. Come on, dude. Not a fair fight.

That's not usually something you hear the good guys say, which remember, that's us, right?

Let's try again. And this time, avoid sounding so much like a bully.

We are punching them while they're down, which is exactly how it should be.

What the f***, dude?

Why does the secretary of defense sound like a cheesy movie villain?

America is winning decisively, devastatingly, and without mercy.

Mercy is for the weak. An enemy deserves no mercy.

We control their fate. We will decide your fate.

We are punching them while they're down.

Always kick them when they're down.

And President Trump got the last laugh.

Looks like it's up. We will have the last blow.

If, in fact, that evil muffet also got to start as a weekend fox and friend's host, so...

But I guess Secretary Pete's bravado clears one thing up. This is very much a war,

which puts him at odds with what senators like Mark Wayne Mullin have been saying.

This isn't a war. We haven't declared war. We are not at war with Iran.

This isn't a war. This isn't a war with Iran?

Yeah, not a war. I thought it was obviously a war since, you know,

you've been speaking next to a map of all the places we're bombing in the war.

Also, although, you know... In the... In the...

I don't know how it all works, okay?

And I'm not the only one who's confused by this because it seems like Mark Wayne

is also getting confused.

This is war, and we're taking out the threat.

And if you're part of the threat, then you have your target.

You can see this is war.

We haven't declared war.

They declared war on us, but we haven't declared war on Secretary Hickseth.

We haven't declared it.

Now you said this is war.

They called it war.

They called it war. What I'm saying is, okay, well, that was a misspoke.

Yeah.

Did he say that was a misspoke?

Hard to believe the guy who said he did a misspoke did a misspoke.

Now, I know it seems like Mark Wayne's contradicting himself, but what you got to understand

is that Mark thinks this is a war, but Wayne thinks it's not.

It's just a constant battle.

How good is that?

Mark?

Yeah.

Wayne.

So, yes, Mark this down is a war, but Wayne this down has not a war.

Anyway, thank you.

Anyway, with Republicans tripping all over their words, trying to sell this unpopular war

adjacent conflict, it's the perfect opportunity for Democrats to come out

with a clear anti-war message.

Oh, and here comes the truth, hammer.

Look, no one wants a nuclear war.

No one wants a nuclear Israel, but we certainly don't want an endless war.

Plain and simple.

What did I say?

Nuclearism?

Oh, no, it's not.

Let me say that again.

All right, wow.

If you're confused, just know that his full name is Chuck Wayne Schumer.

So, for more on what comes next for Iran and its leadership succession,

let's go live to Grace Kulenshmet.

Grace, what is the latest?

Michael, I'm here at the Pentagon and it is chaos.

We're down to six bullets and Pete Higgseth makes us do shots after every single missile strike.

I am wasted right now.

I'm sorry that you're trash, Grace, but what about the next steps?

Have the Trump administration figured out who can be the next leader of Iran?

No, it's a huge problem.

We need to find a leader now or going to war with no plan, but

however, it's going to seem like a bad idea.

The problem is the leader needs to be someone Donald Trump respects

and the only person Donald Trump respects is hold on.

Yep, Grace?

I said, hold on.

I'm thinking, I'm thinking, I've thought.

Maybe this is a stupid idea, but what if the next leader of Iran is Donald Trump?

You're right, that's very stupid.

I know, I know it's done, but maybe...

Why would Donald Trump want to be the supreme leader of Iran?

I don't know, maybe he'll like the title.

It's kind of an upgrade.

Actually, this idea isn't that bad.

It's like, President, we let anyone be president.

We let Donald Trump be president.

Well, I don't know.

But supreme leader, only like two guys have ever been supreme leader.

That's special.

That's like getting to be a Sheldon on TV.

We've only had Sheldon and Young Sheldon,

but this, this is Iranian Sheldon.

You know, this actually isn't a bad idea.

It's a terrible idea.

Donald Trump doesn't even know how the Iranian government works.

He doesn't know how the American government works.

And it works out fine.

No, Grace, it has not worked out fine.

Don't be jealous that I had a good idea, Michael.

He's going to go for this.

He'll have total immunity.

He can imprison all the journalists he wants,

and the flowy robes will hide the skin condition

that's slowly eating away his plaque.

Maybe...

Maybe this is the dozen shots of Cuervo talking,

but I think I'm as far as her alive.

Grace, Grace, Grace.

Sorry, Grace, but you're not.

Even if Trump wanted to do all this,

he would have to convert to Islam.

Oh, no.

He would have to abandon the Christian beliefs

he's been so faithfully adhered to his entire life.

Shut up, Michael!

This is the best idea in the history of Earth.

It works out for everybody.

Democrats get rid of him.

Republicans get him out of the way for 2028

and League Greenwood gets a second song to sing.

And I'm proud to be in Iran, yeah!

Grace, that sounds like the same song.

That sounds like the same song.

I don't see you pitching anything.

What's your genius idea?

Okay, I don't know.

Maybe Iran has some sort of interim caretaker government

that can maintain order with international help

until free and fair elections can be held.

That's a dumbest idea I've ever heard.

And why would League Greenwood even go to Iran?

That doesn't make any sense at all.

Great school instrument, everybody.

When we come back, we find out about

history's worst award show.

Don't go away.

What are you talking about?

Monster Energy.

Everybody knows white monster, Zero Ultra.

That's the OG.

It kicked off this whole Zero Sugar Energy drink thing.

But Ultra is a whole lineup now.

You've got strawberry dreams, blue Hawaiian,

sunrise, and vice guava.

And they all bring the monster energy punch.

So if you've been living in the white can,

branch out.

Ultra's got a flavor for every vibe.

And every single one is Zero Sugar.

Tap the banner to learn more.

Welcome back to Dr. Show.

With most news stories, we try to cover them quickly.

But other stories require us to go deeper.

And for those, we turn to Josh Johnson

in our new segment, Into Deep.

Let's talk about award shows.

They honor creative people.

They celebrate great art.

And they're how we track the migratory pattern

of the scars guards.

But one recent award show raised a lot more questions

than who you're wearing.

It was supposed to be an evening

of Hollywood glamour mixed with British royalty.

But the British Film Awards ceremony known

as the BAFTA's is Facing Outrage.

After Black actors, Michael D. Jordan and Delroy Lindo

took the stage, only for the N-word to be shouted

from the audience.

BAFTA BAFTA BAFTA.

Don't you miss when nobody knew what you were?

When we all thought you were a trade deal or something,

you know?

I actually once met someone who told me they had a BAFTA.

And I was like, I'm so sorry.

Is it terminal?

Not ordinarily, I just missed this.

It's another story about a racist slur,

but let's go a little deeper.

This shout came from John Davidson,

who lives with Tourette Centro,

a condition that can cause people to make

sudden involuntary texts.

This is a tough one.

Because you guys understand,

this is hard for me as a black person,

because every time I've been called the N-word,

I was told the white person couldn't help it, you know?

No, no, no.

They're older.

They're from the south, or they bet on Tyson, and he lost.

And now I'm confronted with someone

who actually couldn't help it.

So it's kind of hard to know what to do with your anger here.

And the internet at large made this out to be diversity

versus neurodiversity.

But I know it's not that,

because I asked my neurodivergent friends

who are black what they thought.

And then a bunch of people came and asked me what I thought.

And I was like, wait, what made you...

I mean, yeah, I like anime, but...

You know what, never mind, never mind.

Like I said, I asked those friends,

and as soon as we finished talking about Dragon Ball Z,

we got into it.

So to go a little deeper,

the man who shot out the slur was John Davidson,

who was at the Baptist because there was an award-winning movie

based on his life with Tourette's.

So yes, his outburst was involuntary,

and he addressed it in a statement afterwards.

But right after that, I saw a lot of white people

who don't have Tourette's giving him a pass,

which is weird, because white people don't hand out those passes.

White people don't give out passes to say the Edward,

the same way I don't give out the passes to Cracker Barrow.

I know that's not my place.

The Baptist also tried to apologize during the ceremony,

and here's how it went.

You may have heard some strong and offensive language tonight,

and the ticks you've heard tonight are involuntary,

which means the person who has Tourette's syndrome

has no control over their language.

We apologize if you were offended.

If you were offended?

I mean, the only two options are being offended, or liking it.

Saying if ruins a whole apology,

the same way kind of ruins a whole wedding vow.

I vow to kind of be faithful.

Also, maybe the apology shouldn't come from the host of the traders.

I honestly don't trust anything that man says anymore,

but enough from fluke from spy kids.

Let's go even deeper.

Because it doesn't begin and end with John.

He wore the baptism that's something like this could happen.

Back in October, he explained nerves trigger those vocal ticks.

Sometime my ticks, I'll shout the N word.

Introuble, misunderstander, and they see it as being racist.

And it's about more about tick triggers,

certain things like today.

Lots of people around, I'm feeling very, you know, more ticks,

in case I lash out or whatever, you know, so.

This man called his shot.

He basically bave Ruth the N word.

Watch this from row 40.

Now, BAFTA did make an announcement in the room before the ceremony

that there could be outbursts, but they didn't do enough.

Well, John Davidson is said to be deeply mortified by the incident on Sunday.

He is now said to the BBC,

one earth was I allowed to sit so close to a microphone.

They sat him next to a microphone.

This feels like a foul destination movie

when they make one of the characters go to a dynamite factory.

Like, what are you thinking?

And if you're thinking the BBC,

the network, the broadcast, the awards, deserve some blame,

you have no idea how much blame.

The BBC is apologizing.

They've come under a lot of fire

because they allowed the racial slur to go out on the broadcast

even though it was pre-recorded.

The moment was broadcast without any censoring

despite being on a two-hour delay.

A two-hour delay?

That's plenty of time to bleep it.

And don't tell me you lost track of time.

The only thing I know about your country

is that you got big-ass clocks.

I mean, if they're not bleeped in the end word,

they must not bleep anything.

The big question this morning,

why did these outbursts remain on the broadcast

when other parts of the event were cut

like the words of one award winner who said free Palestine?

Now, whenever I hear something bleed,

I'm gonna assume they might be saying free Palestine.

LAUGHTER

I'll be listening to music like,

oh, wow, I didn't realize Cardi B and Meg nostalgia

wanted a wet-ass free Palestine.

LAUGHTER

How could this possibly happen?

The corporation said producers were overseeing the coverage

from a truck and simply did not hear the slur.

Oh, that makes sense because most of the times

I've been called the inward.

It's been hurled from a truck.

LAUGHTER

Look, I have seen so much anger

and hate online fighting over this

with people rushing to attack

anyone they saw as ableists in some ways

that were pretty racist.

People are pretending to be neurologists

while saying things like,

don't you say the R-word you in-word?

Everyone was so mad at each other

with all of us,

when all of us should be mad at the BAFTAs.

They have failed both groups

and the people that overlap at every turn.

They sat John next to a microphone.

They didn't edit it out,

even with a two-hour delay.

And they left it up,

unedited on the BBC streaming service

for 15 hours.

How are you going to hand out

editing awards and you can't edit?

LAUGHTER

CHEERING

Even worse,

Michael B. Jordan and Del Roy Lindo.

No one gets away with that.

LAUGHTER

So please, black Twitter

and neurodivergent TikTok

stop firing off each other

and turn that heat onto BAFTA

and the BBC.

Because your heat together

is equal to the sun.

Roast them, light them up,

fry their asses.

They're from England.

They burn easy.

LAUGHTER

Just ask everyone

when we come back.

Air Gallagher was running the show.

Don't go away.

Just ask everyone.

LAUGHTER

Welcome back to Daily Show.

My guest tonight is an award winning actor

and stars in the new NBC series,

The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins.

Please welcome Erica Alexander!

Thanks a lot and thank you for joining us.

Yes!

Senator!

Thank you very much everyone,

Senator Alexander!

Thank you very much everyone,

Senator Alexander!

Thank you, thank you.

Thank you, thank you.

Thank you!

Thank you!

And thank you.

You got an enthusiastic crowd here.

Thank you!

I love America, Alexander, I don't blame them.

Michael, I love them, and I appreciate all these years.

I've gotten support from beautiful people like that,

and that's why I'm here today.

It's 43 years in.

What's up?

Yeah.

Yes.

I'm the bride.

But you're only 25.

Shh.

You've been in some amazing shows.

Wow, the Cosby Show, living single.

Yes.

Now you start in the Fallen Rise of Reggie Dinkins.

How did you get here?

How did you get on this?

I got a call from Tina Fey and Robert Carlock, Sam Means,

and Tracy Morgan.

And you have to pay attention to that.

That's a big deal.

Yeah.

I mean, I worked my whole life to get that type of call.

And so it's great things like being called up to the...

I mean, I was in the majors, but suddenly,

another major team won't you.

Right, right.

And they know what they're doing.

They're masters of the game.

And so I was glad to be invited.

That's amazing.

You may know, but I am in the series for about 10 seconds.

Are you?

For about 10 seconds.

Oh.

And...

Did you feel my presence on set?

I think I did.

I smelled you.

You smelled it.

No, you smelled good.

Like, victory.

That's right.

Because everybody they brought in the ringers.

They don't play.

The cast is amazing.

Yeah.

They bring an amazing talent.

So, yeah.

No, you can feel that when you have big winners on there,

and you want to rise to the occasion,

guest stars, feature player, all of that.

They know what they're doing.

So, yeah, I smelled you.

Thank you.

I saw it.

Uh...

Fellow, thank you.

Thank you.

Fellow host, Ronnie Chang.

You were in a couple of scenes with him.

Yeah.

He plays my rival.

That's right.

He plays your rival.

He's here to antagonize me.

But, and be honest, how many takes did it take him to get it right?

Wow.

You know, I'm sorry to say.

One.

He was great.

You guys are great together.

Uh...

But let's talk about the cast.

Because you can carry a show.

You.

But then, how do you also...

This is a team sport.

This show.

It is.

How do you strategy when you've got so many stars on screen at the same time?

Well, comedy is a full-context sport.

You have to be in it to win it.

They're going to throw you something,

and you've got to be ready to, you know, receive and throw it back.

I'm really gratified that they think that I can be around, you know,

fantastic people who have been doing it for years.

With each other, they've got a vocabulary and a shorthand that I don't have.

Right.

I've never done a mockumentary.

And that's what this is.

Right.

And so, I think that, you know, many people think that comedy is just, you know, a monologue and or what you're doing on stage.

But comedy lies in this space and sitcom space.

And it's hard to translate.

Because you'll have no audience to tell you where the joke is.

And so you just have to be confident that the people who set you up and who have told you this is what you need to do

are going to take the funniest thing that you can do.

But it has to be in context of everything and what everyone is contributing.

I was intimidated by the scripts because they were so funny with so many jokes, with so many references I didn't necessarily understand.

I didn't know either.

And I wanted to ask you, I was hoping to steal from you.

How did you approach those scripts?

Doll face.

If you get the, you know, the Rosetta Stone?

Let me know.

I had no idea.

I had no idea.

And actually, I felt kind of weird.

I kept talking to Robert Carlock saying, you know, I really don't know what I'm doing or whether it's hitting.

He says, don't worry, Eric, retell you.

Usually when they say that, they just give you a final notice.

No, Robert.

We'll tell you.

You don't want to be told.

You kind of want to know in your bones.

But you got to be okay with discomfort.

You don't always need to know.

You just need to, you know, let go and let go.

There it is.

Yeah.

After living single, which is a five year sitcom, Iconic sitcom, you, the people, uh,

but you talked a little bit about after that, you weren't getting the opportunities you thought you might,

which blew me away because you would have thought you're now a star, you should getting all the opportunities.

Talk a little about that.

It's a tough business because if you complain about what you're not getting, people might think that, you know,

hey, but look what you got.

But the truth is you're up against things that are inside of systems that exist everywhere else.

And there's a system of discrimination, bias, discriminatory, you know, racism, also gender problems,

that affect Hollywood.

And this is the 90s.

They don't know where to absorb you.

You can do really well somewhere, but doesn't mean that they have some place to put you afterwards.

Yeah.

And so you have to, you know, it's a mental game too.

You've got to be ready to push through and, and, and, uh, see where else.

What else you can offer?

I got into, um, creating opportunities for myself to advocate for people, for marginalized people,

and to lift the voices of people who did not have the type of platform I had.

I learned how to write comic books.

I did something called Concrete Park with, um, my ex partner, but, um, my creative partner, Tony Perrier.

It was, that to me is what people don't talk like.

Yeah.

What does it take to stay in the game?

Because it doesn't mean that you'll always be wanted, but it does mean that you do have a certain skill set,

and you got to find out where you can put it.

Where could you, where can you contribute?

I mean, you could have been mad and complained, but you formed your production company.

I sure did.

Color Farm Media.

I am.

I'm coming for a media.

Thank you for mixing in that.

I just love the idea, you know, it's easy to sit and go.

I'm not getting it.

I'm not getting the thing I want.

I deserve it.

It sounds like one of the things you did, but you said, f*** that.

Let me go create some stuff.

Yeah, Michael.

I love that.

You deserve that.

You can do it, please.

Yeah.

Thank you.

You deserve it.

You deserve nothing to do with that.

Yeah.

You just, um, again, you play the cards you're dealt.

Color Farm Media.

We call ourselves the Motown of Film Television and Tech.

We were trying to do what Barry Gordy did.

There's a ton of people.

It's not just down to, you know, the, the more, uh, explicit bias and, and gender and all that stuff,

but also, you know, geography.

You may not feel like you're born into a place where they're except what you're doing.

Where do they find Dolly Parton up in Appalachia or, you know, those types of places.

Where can we find talent?

There's ageism.

There's all of that.

We wanted to affect that and correct that as well as we could.

There's other people in the game.

Averdune, DuVonet, all of those people.

So, uh, yeah, we did.

John Lewis Good Trouble, which is a documentary.

And also, you know, I, I actually directed a reparations doc.

Yeah, call the big payback.

Come on.

Yeah.

And we're still, still waiting for the payback.

Yeah, I'm still waiting for the payback.

Yeah, I'm still waiting for the payback.

Still waiting for the payback.

Yeah.

Um, you are excellent in the rise and fall of Reggie Dinkins.

It's, it was, I hope, if the show continues, we can somehow work in the same scene together.

But you know, we're doing a scene right now.

I know.

Five.

You're excellent.

My character is a sports agent manager.

Yeah.

So she is most likely to be mixing up with you.

Yeah, that's right.
