with us right now.

All right.

OK, bye.

- Thank you.

- Did they say no?

Yeah, they said

he wants to send a letter.

I saw you when you were walking up,

I was like, "Hey, I love this guy."

Did you guys recognize me?

I'll be honest with you,

no, I didn't.

Must be the hat.

There you go.

Help me.

- I've helped you through, listen...

- I know you have.

When I found you, you were

reading a piece of paper

on a stool at M Bar.

You knew her before

Last Comic Standing?

No. That's where I met her

when I was doing Last Comic...

When I coulda f***ing been tagging

anybody around the country.

So you met her when she was

doing a network TV show?

- No.

- But you're gonna claim that she

- was a nobody.

- No.

Well, that's what I'm asking.

Did you guys meet before

Last Comic Standing?

On my season.

We met on a TV show,

Last Comic Standing.

Please welcome

Ms. Bonnie McFarlane

She was a contestant

and I was a judge.

If by any chance you didn't

make it into the house,

would you like to spend

some time at my house?

I'd rather be homeless.

Two nights later I was eating

her f***ing box in a car.

Is that true, Bonnie?

For a second.

I didn't let it go on that long.

You're hanging out

with the boys today, Bonnie.

Girls normally aren't as funny as

just a bunch of guys hanging out.

That's OK. You guys just be

funny and I'll laugh.

It's just something you learn.

You learn to be like,

laugh at them,

and don't compete with them.

I went into a deep depression

in my twenties

because of that. Because I was

squashing that whole part of myself.

Well, because when

they're little girls,

if I may get serious

in this comedy thing,

they're not the showoffs.

All right, how about in school?

Like, all people in the back of the bus,

always know back

of the bus funny.

In the back of the bus

was all the funny people.

But it's just like that back of the bus

was nothing but a bunch of funny dudes

- in the back.

- - I was chauffeured to school.

Well, Bonnie was chauffeured. How

about the back of the limousine?

We're at the back of the bus

right now.

This is the back of the bus

of women being funny.

Let's go. Let's do it.

- All right.

- Don't be uncomfortable

'cause there's

black people around.

Just be funny.

This is the back

of the bus funny.

This is where you can

prove women comedians are funny.

OK.

Exactly.

Turn it back around

I gave y'all every opportunity

- and nothing happened.

- I am not being a comedian.

I need you to think of me as an

investigative journalist right now.

So I feel like if I were to

out-funny, outshine these two,

which I easily could,

obviously...

You saw what I saw.
