Um... that wouldn't be fair.

Less women try standup.

Less women go into it.

So you get less women

out at the top.

You know, at the higher end.

Each year there seems

to be fewer...

fewer females, instead of more.

It never really caught on.

Ten female comics working

the country and that's it.

And thousands of male comics.

It's like... you know,

we're like...

- the beta cam.

- And it turns out

at least one of these ten

working female comedians

is not a woman at all...

but a squirrel

in a tartan skirt.

A male squirrel.

Isn't it funny

that the only time

your race or gender

is questioned

is when you're not a white man?

In fact, I think white men,

they get upset, they get nervous

if like a minority or another

race gets a little power.

It makes them nervous.

'Cause they scared that

that race

is gonna do to them

what they did to that race.

They get nervous.

So they start screaming

"Reverse racism!

This is reverse racism."

Wait a minute,

ain't reverse racism,

isn't that when a racist is nice

to somebody else? To other people?

The number of guys

who are doing comedy

and the number of women

doing comedy,

there's way more guys doing it,

right?

If you take the 20%...

say it's 20% of the guys

who aren't funny

and then 20% of women

who aren't funny,

you know, just our population

just looks like it's...

it's bigger.

It looks like a bigger...

It's grossly disproportionate.

It's probably 95% men

and 5% women.

Because they only represent,

not all ten percent,

they represent being ten percent

of the ten percent.

So when you only have

the one woman on the show...

So... that's what

I'm trying to say.

My math is off. I'm doing

Fox News math right now.

If eight million men do comedy,

and five percent

of them are funny,

It's a larger number because

there's a larger amount

- of men doing comedy.

- It's a terrible ratio.

If there were more funny females

out there, we would book them.

Twenty percent of the...

I'm no mathe-magician.

But...

And if I was a woman comedian,

I'd say...

At the end of everything,

no matter how you say it,

no matter what you say,

no matter what people say

and how articulate they think

they are, like I think I'm being,

the facts are there's more unfunny

men then there are women.

Right?

Did anyone point that out yet?

Yeah, I think that's what it is.

When you have a bunch of guys

on the show,

maybe four, three of them

aren't funny

but you just have one woman,

if she's not funny

then everybody go,

"Women aren't funny."

Maybe we should just go get rid of

all the women who aren't funny.

Making us look bad.

- Hello?

- Hey, Kate.

- Hey.
