1. Daddy.
Copy !req
2. Yeah?
Copy !req
3. Why are you jogging?
Copy !req
4. Because I gotta lose
40 pounds.
Copy !req
5. 40 pounds?
Yeah.
Copy !req
6. Why?
Copy !req
7. Well, if I want to get
this show, I need to—
Copy !req
8. I gotta change.
Copy !req
9. They want a skinnier person.
Copy !req
10. Daddy, but you're
not skinnier.
Copy !req
11. Daddy, you're fat, Daddy.
Copy !req
12. Jane...
Copy !req
13. It's all right, it's true,
I'm a big guy.
Copy !req
14. You're not a big guy,
you're fat.
Copy !req
15. All right, I got it.
Copy !req
16. Daddy.
Yeah?
Copy !req
17. If they
want a skinny person,
Copy !req
18. why don't they just get
someone skinny?
Copy !req
19. Why do
you have to change?
Copy !req
20. Daddy, I don't want
you to change.
Copy !req
21. It's not really about
skinny or fat, it's just—
Copy !req
22. You know, if you want to get a
big thing in life, you—
Copy !req
23. you gotta make a big
effort, you gotta try hard,
Copy !req
24. you gotta do things
you're not used to doing.
Copy !req
25. I mean, also I gotta get
in shape because this job—
Copy !req
26. If I get this job, this is
gonna be hard.
Copy !req
27. This is gonna be
the hardest thing I ever did.
Copy !req
28. I'm gonna be doing five
shows a week every week.
Copy !req
29. Getting up
early in the morning,
Copy !req
30. every single Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
Copy !req
31. doing shows, rehearsing
and writing.
Copy !req
32. It's gonna be a grind.
Copy !req
33. But when will you
see us?
Copy !req
34. I'll see
you on weekends.
Copy !req
35. You know, girls, I may not
get this job.
Copy !req
36. Yeah, but you want this
job, right?
Copy !req
37. Yeah.
Copy !req
38. Yeah.
Copy !req
39. Well, all right.
Copy !req
40. Yes.
Copy !req
41. No.
Copy !req
42. No.
Copy !req
43. No to that, too.
Copy !req
44. Yes.
Copy !req
45. All right.
Copy !req
46. No!
Copy !req
47. So you want to take over
for Letterman?
Copy !req
48. You want
to host "Late Show" on CBS?
Copy !req
49. Yeah, that's...
Copy !req
50. Here's the thing with
that, champ.
Copy !req
51. That's short for "champion."
Copy !req
52. If you want
to be a talk show host,
Copy !req
53. it's better
if you're funny.
Copy !req
54. Now, there have been some
guys who were not funny.
Copy !req
55. Tom Snyder.
Copy !req
56. David Susskind.
Copy !req
57. Ted Koppel.
Copy !req
58. But funny is better.
Copy !req
59. Now, have you ever had any
experience with being funny?
Copy !req
60. Yeah, I'm a...
I'm a comedian.
Copy !req
61. You're a comedian?
Copy !req
62. I've known you for a week and
you haven't made me laugh once.
Copy !req
63. I had no idea you were
a comedian.
Copy !req
64. I thought
you were a newsman.
Copy !req
65. No, I'm not a newsman,
I'm a— I'm a comedian.
Copy !req
66. Jesus.
Copy !req
67. Well, all right, let's
see it.
Copy !req
68. See what?
Copy !req
69. See the funny, make
me laugh.
Copy !req
70. Go.
Copy !req

Copy !req
72. Go... funny.
Copy !req
73. Three, two, one...
and go!
Copy !req
74. I'm not that kind
of funny.
Copy !req
75. What kind of funny?
Copy !req
76. The kind where you jut say
"go" and I'm funny.
Copy !req
77. All right, I think you'd
better leave my office.
Copy !req
78. Jack— Mr. Dahl, I—
Copy !req
79. Look, there's different
kinds of funny, right?
Copy !req
80. There's different kinds
of performers.
Copy !req
81. I'm not
that kind of performer.
Copy !req
82. Let me tell me what kind
of what you are.
Copy !req
83. You're whatever you have
to be to make people laugh.
Copy !req
84. Anytime, anywhere, anyone.
Copy !req
85. You turn it on a dime.
Copy !req
86. You get that belly moving, son,
or you're out.
Copy !req
87. Now tell the truth.
Copy !req
88. You're just scared, like
a rookie.
Copy !req
89. You're like some kid at a
talent show
Copy !req
90. with a number pinned to
your shirt.
Copy !req
91. You got nothing
or you would have shown me now.
Copy !req
92. So get out.
Copy !req
93. Thank you,
have a nice day.
Copy !req
94. Fine.
Copy !req
95. Look, I— I— I can't give
up on this.
Copy !req
96. I don't, uh...
Copy !req
97. This is either a door or
a wall for me
Copy !req
98. and it's either
the beginning or the end.
Copy !req
99. I don't— Please.
Copy !req
100. Okay then...
let's see the funny.
Copy !req
101. Three, two, one, go!
Copy !req

Copy !req
106. Okay, last chance and then
we're really done.
Copy !req
107. Done and done.
Copy !req
108. Let's go, kid, you want
the big gig?
Copy !req

Copy !req
116. penis...
Copy !req
117. parade.
Copy !req
118. Ooh, I'm—
Copy !req
119. Nyah!
Copy !req

another week.
Copy !req
121. Go home
and get some rest.
Copy !req
122. Please leave this room.
Copy !req
123. Sit down.
Copy !req
124. No, genius, sit in the
host's chair,
Copy !req
125. for crying in a cup.
Copy !req

Copy !req
131. What?

Copy !req
138. Okay.

Copy !req
140. Hello.
Copy !req
141. "Hello" ?
Copy !req
142. You just introduced her!
Copy !req
143. You played a song, you
kissed her, she sat down!
Copy !req
144. "Hello..." what is that?
Copy !req
145. Uh... how are you?
Copy !req
146. How is she?
Copy !req
147. Find out, ask a question.
Copy !req
148. I can't—
Ask!
Copy !req
149. If you would stop yelling
at me, maybe I'd do it right.
Copy !req
150. If you did it right, I
wouldn't have to yell at you.
Copy !req
151. Interview.
Copy !req
152. Go!
Copy !req
153. Uh...
Copy !req
154. Tell me about your parents.
Copy !req

actually dancer.
Copy !req
156. Really?
Copy !req
157. What kind of dancer
was she?
Copy !req
158. She was in the ballet.
Copy !req
159. Really?
Copy !req
160. Did she dance
around the house a lot?
Copy !req
161. I don't know.
Copy !req
162. I don't remember much.
Copy !req
163. She died
when I was eight.
Copy !req
164. Oh, this is terrific,
just wonderful.
Copy !req
165. Tune in
every night, folks!
Copy !req
166. It's the crying cleaning
lady show.
Copy !req
167. Okay.
Copy !req
168. Good evening, okay, hi!
Copy !req
169. Shit.
Copy !req
170. Good evening.
Copy !req

Copy !req
174. Tits.
Copy !req
175. Okay.
Copy !req
176. Okay...
Copy !req
177. Funny in three, two—
Copy !req
178. Hey.
Daddy.
Copy !req
179. What's up, everybody?
Copy !req
180. They insisted I bring them
over here.
Copy !req
181. They just wanted to wish you
luck for your big day tomorrow.
Copy !req
182. Thanks.
Copy !req
183. Daddy, we made you
a card.
Copy !req
184. Daddy, we just wanted to
wish you luck for tomorrow.
Copy !req
185. We know you can
do it.
Copy !req
186. Hey, Jack.
Copy !req
187. Here you go, buster, I had
this made for you.
Copy !req
188. It's beautiful, Jack...
thank you.
Copy !req
189. Well, I did my part.
Copy !req
190. This will be the last time
we see each other.
Copy !req
191. Oh.
Copy !req
192. If you get the show, they'll
bring in some young producer.
Copy !req
193. If you don't, well then,
that'll be that.
Copy !req
194. In any case,
I told you what I know
Copy !req
195. and the rest is up
to you.
Copy !req
196. It's just...
Copy !req
197. if you can do it.
Copy !req
198. That's it.
Copy !req
199. Listen.
Copy !req
200. You're a good guy.
Copy !req
201. I'm not gonna
say I think you can do it
Copy !req
202. 'cause I really have
no idea,
Copy !req
203. but I hope you do.
Copy !req
204. And now I'm gonna tell you
what I know to be
Copy !req
205. the three
rules of show business.
Copy !req
206. Number one, look 'em in the eye
and speak from the heart.
Copy !req
207. Number two, you
gotta go away to come back.
Copy !req
208. And number three, if someone
asks you to keep a secret,
Copy !req
209. their secret is a lie.
Copy !req
210. You got that?
Copy !req
211. Yeah.
Copy !req
212. Uh, thank— thank you, Jack.
Copy !req
213. Thanks for everything,
really.
Copy !req
214. Good luck.
Copy !req
215. How you doing?
Copy !req
216. Jerry, hi...
How are you?
Copy !req
217. Good, good.
Copy !req
218. You nervous?
Copy !req
219. Uh, no, you know.
Copy !req
220. Ahh, you'll be fine,
you'll be fine.
Copy !req
221. I—
Copy !req
222. I didn't know that they—
that you knew I was—
Copy !req
223. Look, Louie, there's
something you need to know.
Copy !req
224. Okay.
Copy !req
225. They're giving me
"Late Show."
Copy !req
226. I signed
the contract this morning.
Copy !req
227. It's a done deal.
Copy !req
228. They're printing
the t-shirts.
Copy !req
229. I heard they
weren't telling you
Copy !req
230. and they were still making
you do this
Copy !req
231. and it
just seemed unfair.
Copy !req
232. Wow.
Copy !req
233. Yeah.
Copy !req
234. Well, congrats.
Copy !req
235. Thank you, thank you.
Copy !req
236. I mean, I want you to come
on the show anytime you want.
Copy !req
237. Thanks.
Copy !req
238. That's it.
Copy !req
239. Um, thanks for—
Copy !req
240. Okay, Louie.
Copy !req
241. You will be fine.
Copy !req
242. Thanks, man.
I will see you soon.
Copy !req
243. Hey, um, nobody knows about
this yet,
Copy !req
244. so if you
wouldn't mind, do me a favor.
Copy !req
245. Keep it a secret.
Copy !req
246. Sure.
Thank you.
Copy !req
247. Thank you.
Copy !req
248. "If somebody asks you to
keep a secret..."
Copy !req
249. "That secret is a lie."
Copy !req
250. It's a lie.
Copy !req
251. Goddammit.
Copy !req
252. Welcome to
the "Late Show."
Copy !req
253. Let's get right to it.
Copy !req
254. Here's your host,
Louis C.K. !
Copy !req
255. Thank you very much.
Copy !req
256. Obama said the economy will
improve in the next four years.
Copy !req
257. He also said he promises
to kill bin Laden
Copy !req
258. a couple more times.
Copy !req
259. You know, jokes— It's a really
unique thing
Copy !req
260. to be
reading jokes off cards,
Copy !req
261. 'cause you just see your
death in front of you.
Copy !req
262. You can see-
Copy !req
263. Uh, Polly want to not get
eaten by a dog?
Copy !req
264. All right.
Copy !req
265. I don't know.
Copy !req
266. I'm not saying nothing
about that... just—
Copy !req
267. Well, the first
time I ever saw you,
Copy !req
268. I guess I was about 11
years old
Copy !req
269. and I saw
"Rocky Horror Picture Show."
Copy !req
270. You were in that movie
a lot.
Copy !req
271. I was, yeah.
Copy !req
272. And you were in your
underwear for part of it.
Copy !req
273. Yeah.
Copy !req
274. And I had never seen a
lady in her underwear
Copy !req
275. in a movie before.
Copy !req
276. Was it scarring?
Copy !req
277. No, what it was —
Copy !req
278. What it did was,
I went home...
Copy !req
279. to my friend's house.
Copy !req
280. Oh, boy.
And I—
Copy !req
281. Yeah, and I had myself
a little time by myself.
Copy !req
282. And I had never done
that before.
Copy !req
283. So you—
Copy !req
284. That was the first time?
Copy !req
285. Yeah, that's true, you're
the first person who I ever—
Copy !req
286. Oh my God, that's the
sweetest story I ever heard.
Copy !req
287. That's so sweet...
Thank you.
Copy !req
288. Yeah, thank you.
Oh, you're welcome.
Copy !req
289. Jack is my son and Darby
is my daughter.
Copy !req
290. Darby?
Yeah.
Copy !req
291. What is that all about?
Copy !req
292. Um, well, yeah.
Copy !req
293. What'd you go and do
that for?
Copy !req
294. I know.
Copy !req
295. My wife said, "I want to
name my daughter 'Darby.'"
Copy !req
296. And she said, "I loved
the name ever since I saw
Copy !req
297. "'The Pelican Brief' with
Julia Roberts."
Copy !req
298. Are you serious?
I swear to God.
Copy !req
299. What I wished was
the truth,
Copy !req
300. and I don't think it is,
Copy !req
301. is that there's no one
named Darby in that movie.
Copy !req
302. And that you just—
Copy !req
303. Jackie, I'm watching
the feed.
Copy !req
304. Good work.
Copy !req
305. It's exactly what we need.
Copy !req
306. Perfect.
Copy !req
307. I got an option.
Copy !req
308. Here's to the new king of
late night.
Copy !req
309. Oh, thank you.
Copy !req
310. Former king of his own
mother's.
Copy !req
311. Mmm.
Copy !req
312. I gotta say,
you stepped up.
Copy !req
313. Great job.
Thanks, man.
Copy !req
314. I don't know if it—
Copy !req
315. You know, it's not official,
but I feel pretty good.
Copy !req
316. I mean...
Copy !req
317. Doug.
Copy !req
318. Hey, turn up that TV,
that's about my buddy.
Copy !req
319. Hold on a second.
Copy !req
320. Shut up, everybody.
Copy !req
321. Official word just coming in
from CBS that David Letterman
Copy !req
322. has signed
on for another ten years.
Copy !req
323. His contract negotiations went
to the last minute we hear,
Copy !req
324. but it is official.
Copy !req
325. David Letterman will remain
as the host of "The Late Show."
Copy !req
326. They used you to get
his price down
Copy !req
327. from 60 to 40 million.
Copy !req
328. They used you.
Copy !req
329. There's one other thing.
Copy !req
330. The Letterman people called.
Copy !req
331. They said...
Copy !req
332. You're dead.
Copy !req
333. Letterman said
you'll never be on the show.
Copy !req
334. Never.
Copy !req
335. Okay.
Copy !req
336. Lou... look at it
this way.
Copy !req
337. You took $20 million
out of that asshole's pocket.
Copy !req
338. That's how
good you were.
Copy !req
339. Thanks, man.
Copy !req
340. I'm sorry.
Bad deal, man.
Copy !req
341. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
342. It's official, you
suck, man.
Copy !req
343. He does, too.
Copy !req
344. I'm just kidding.
Copy !req
345. I'm not.
Copy !req
346. I did it!
Copy !req
347. I did it!
Copy !req
348. I did it!
Copy !req
349. Hey, Letterman!
Copy !req
350. Hey, Letterman,
I did it!
Copy !req
351. Yo, Letterman!

Copy !req
360. I want you pushing off on
that back foot, okay?
Copy !req
361. Okay?
Copy !req
362. Right, right.
Copy !req
363. Let's go.
Copy !req
364. There you go.
Copy !req
365. Lean into it, lean

Copy !req
366. Yeah.
Copy !req
367. Double jab.
Copy !req

Copy !req
369. Double jab right.
Copy !req

Copy !req
372. Jab uppercut.
Copy !req
373. Jab uppercut.
Copy !req
374. Boom— make
it quick, okay?
Copy !req
375. And then come back with
that right, okay?
Copy !req
376. Just come back with
the right...
Copy !req
377. Ready, let's go.
Copy !req
378. Again.
Copy !req
379. Okay.
Copy !req
