-
-Thank you for coming back.
-
And thank you for playing that game right there.
-
-The most scary bit about that game was I know I can't spell.
-
And I was like, "Oh, hopefully it's not a big ingredient."
-
And then chocolate came up.
-
And I turned to you, "How do I spell chocolate?"
-
And then you went, "It's got another 'O.'"
-
And I was like, "Where?"
-
-"Chocolato."
-
[ Laughter ]
-
I know you have a son. Does your son watch our program?
-
-He doesn't watch my program. -No, yeah, yeah.
-
-I don't let him watch me, what I do.
-
I do horrible stand-up comedy with lots of swear words.
-
And so I don't let him watch.
-
My son's favorite bit of entertainment is fails.
-
I don't know if you're familiar. It's like "Jackass,"
-
but just people on the Internet are doing it.
-
Just people getting hit in the nuts and people falling.
-
And my son think that's great entertainment, right?
-
-That's his favorite. -Yeah, it's his favorite thing.
-
I met Steve-O once. And he's like, "Wow, Dad.
-
You're really hanging in some big circles there."
-
-Steve-O, yeah. -Steve-O. He's like, "Wow.
-
That guy was in a port-a-loo just..."
-
-[ Vocalizing ] Yeah, exactly, yeah.
-
-But -- So, he watches those things.
-
In the morning, he just goes downstairs, watches that.
-
I get ready while he's getting ready for school,
-
and he just watches fails.
-
And, you know, in 2006, I was punched in the head on stage.
-
Someone just ran on stage
-
and punched me in the head for something I said.
-
And that's too long a story to tell right now.
-
But I was punched in the head on stage.
-
-Oh, my goodness. -My son was watching fails.
-
I'm upstairs showering.
-
He just runs upstairs really excited.
-
And he's pointing at me in the shower going,
-
"You're a fail! You're a fail!"
-
And I'm just, like, looking.
-
I'm, like, going, "It could be better,
-
but you're not going to be much better, you know?"
-
[ Laughter ]
-
-"You're a fail."
-
-See, my son, I'm not with his mother anymore.
-
Me and his mother are very, very close,
-
and she lives just down the road.
-
And I have a girlfriend now. And she has a boyfriend now.
-
And everyone gets along. We holiday together and everything.
-
But, like, her boyfriend is an ex-soccer player
-
who played, I think, in a World Cup.
-
He played for the Ivory Coast alongside Drogba,
-
and he was a real footballer.
-
And I'm not very good at anything but stand-up comedy.
-
Anything -- Anything that involves holding something.
-
Spelling. We noticed earlier.
-
-Holding something.
-
-And so now my son is still at that weird age
-
where he thinks I can do everything.
-
And he's just slowly figuring out that I'm useless, right?
-
-Yeah -- -And so I started --
-
He's like, "Hey, Dad. How do I throw a ball?"
-
And I'm like -- So, the boyfriend's name is George.
-
"Go see George about that. George will have..."
-
So I've delegated all sporting activities off to the other guy.
-
Now, my ex, bless her.
-
She's the loveliest woman in the world.
-
And my son does not lack
-
for hugs and kisses and cuddles and all that.
-
But she cannot discipline. Not at all. Not one little bit.
-
My girlfriend's British. She's like Mary Poppins.
-
She's like, "Spit, spot. Eat your vegetables. Go upstairs."
-
Like that.
-
So me and the ex, we just sit back drinking margaritas going,
-
"These two are doing a better job...
-
[ Laughter ]
-
...than we could ever do."
-
[ Laughter ]
-
-That's the way to do it.
-
-Yeah, it takes a village,
-
and I'm just the village administrator.
-
-The delegator. Absolutely. But how about with your parents?
-
-Oh, I was...
-
My mother actually passed away a couple of months ago.
-
-I'm sorry. -Oh, that's okay.
-
You know, these things happen. But my mom passed away.
-
And my father, he's like 78.
-
My whole life, my mother just yelled at my dad.
-
Every time he went to open his mouth,
-
she'd just go, "Shut up, Gary.
-
You don't know what you're talking about."
-
And my dad would go, "I think there's..."
-
"Shut up, Gary!"
-
And then in the last few years,
-
I started going, "Let him talk.
-
Maybe he has something to say.
-
Just let him get his sentence out."
-
Like this, right?
-
Man, my mum was dead for about two days
-
before we figured out how important she was
-
in the ecosystem of this family.
-
My father's unleashed now.
-
And, uh, he has a lot of opinions.
-
And they're just coming out.
-
Without my mother telling him to shut up,
-
the world's going to a horrible place.
-
[ Laughter ]
-
I found out -- My dad hates my politics
-
and doesn't watch my show.
-
He thinks it's dreadful things that I'm saying.
-
My father, who hasn't been to America,
-
told me that there are too many immigrants coming into America,
-
forgetting that I'm an immigrant in America.
-
And he goes, "Oh, you're all right.
-
You're not one of the bad ones."
-
I think that's code for something
-
that my dad's trying to say.
-
I AM one of the bad immigrants. -Yeah.
-
-I'm the reason the other immigrants
-
are bringing the drugs in.
-
You know? It's all supply and demand.
-
Without me, they wouldn't be doing it.
-
You don't want a whole lot of immigrants like me.
-
You'll never get any fruit. You know?
-
I'm the worst. I host a late-night show.
-
Could there be a less important job?
-
No. I mean --
-
[ Laughter ]
-
I don't mean you. But...
-
[ Cymbal crash ]
-
-Yeah, of course. -You know what we are.
-
-[ Laughs ] My God. -You know what we are.
-
We dress up in suits and act excited by things.
-
-Did you get -- Did you get your, uh...
-
