| Hello and welcome to a Christmas special of Right Now. | |
| It's absolutely freezing on the streets of Derby. | |
| Just around the corner from here we've got a nice warm studio, but someone thought it'd be a good idea to be out in the cold, so cheers for that. | |
| It's been a tough year for everyone, we know that. | |
| So what we decided to do for our final show around Christmas time is to have a comedy special. | |
| We spoke to Abbey Roberts, we spoke to Tyler Fisher, we spoke to Alex Stein, and we spoke to Alexander Lazarev. | |
| We spoke to them about wokeness in comedy, comedy in the time of COVID, and generally, we just try to have a laugh. | |
| A bigger announcement. | |
| We have sold out of our great cards and we're offering more cards from highlights from my career. | |
| Get the I Have a Fat Pig Face card. | |
| This is a tremendous card. | |
| Buy this for a friend or a fat family member that needs to be reminded how fat they are. | |
| This Bitches Nuts card. | |
| What a great card. | |
| Get it for a crazy ex-girlfriend or a far-left nutso crazy woman. | |
| And win prizes. | |
| You get a great prize just for buying my cards. | |
| Prizes like watch me eat a bowl of soup. | |
| Come watch me eat a great bowl of soup. | |
| I eat soup like nobody's eating soup. | |
| You can get the watch me nap prize. | |
| You can come in and watch me take one of the greatest naps, better than anybody. | |
| And the grand prize, win a chance for me to grab you by the pussy. | |
| That's right. | |
| A great prize for everybody of all ages. | |
| I grab pussy better than anyone, frankly. | |
| Better than Washington or Lincoln, they say. | |
| Maybe even Hoover, right? | |
| And Hoover did great things with the pussy. | |
| And speaking of pussy, these shirts will get you so much at the Tyler Fisher store. | |
| Make comedy funny again, right? | |
| Somebody's gotta do it. | |
| Your racist shirt, everybody's racist, you know. | |
| And too weak to flatten the curve, crazy Fauci, and of course, too woke to joke, everybody. | |
| Too woke to joke. | |
| So go to tylerfisher.com and get a great shirt because Christmas is coming up. | |
| Though you can't say Christmas anymore. | |
| You can't say Christmas, you can't say anything about the Jews, but you can get a great shirt or a great hat at tylerfisher.com. | |
| He's a great patriot. | |
| Tyler Fisher is well known for his stand-up and now his sketch videos that have been viewed over a hundred million times. | |
| Wow. | |
| He has a new comedy special called The New Normal and is in Gina Carano's film Terror on the Prairie. | |
| Tyler, thank you so much for coming on. | |
| While a lot of these kind of so-called comedians are terrified of saying certain things in case, you know, it gets them cancelled or offends the wrong people, you're just going head-on at it, not bothered. | |
| I love that. | |
| Yeah, well, I didn't always do that. | |
| I mean, I was a bit of a pussy for quite a while. | |
| And it takes a while to find your voice as a comedian. | |
| So I'd say for about eight years, I was, you know, I was playing it safe to an extent. | |
| And then COVID hit. | |
| And then I, you know, didn't get the vaccine, which was my own personal choice, and was called a racist and an extremist. | |
| Extreme Trump supporter. | |
| Actually, I do, I do a Trump. | |
| So I'll just, I'm just going to wear this. | |
| There you go. | |
| I get, I get murdered for wearing this outside. | |
| But, um, yeah, so it's like after, after getting called the worst things on the planet over and over, you really, you do one of two things. | |
| You quit or you go, well, I have nothing to be afraid of now. | |
| And you start actually really exploring your voice. | |
| And frankly, that's frankly what I did. | |
| And now I say whatever the fuck I want, you know? | |
| How liberating is that? | |
| It's incredible. | |
| I never thought it was even an option. | |
| So it's like a new way of thinking, which is you think until you go so far, you pull yourself back or enough people, you know, I'm on stage and if, you know, if nine out of ten people are groaning, I won't cry about it. | |
| I'll just go and I'll fix the joke a little bit. | |
| And it's incredible. | |
| I want to have a long career. | |
| So it allows you to really go any direction you want. | |
| A hundred million views is, I mean, that's insane. | |
| Actually over 200 million now. | |
| Wow. | |
| That's like three times the UK. | |
| That's just a crazy amount of people. | |
| But it goes to show that people want to hear what you're saying. | |
| They probably secretly want to say what you're saying, but they kind of know that if they do they might get a bit of grief off their mother-in-law or the guys at work, so you're almost a voice then. | |
| It must have changed your life a bit, that kind of numbers. | |
| Oh, absolutely. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | |
| I mean, I don't I don't have to try to fit a mold anymore. | |
| I've spent my whole career trying to get on those late night talk shows. | |
| Jimmy Fallon, The Tonight Show. | |
| I mean, I haven't been shy about pursuing the classic You know, cookie cutter, stand-up comedian, actor kind of route. | |
| But it just didn't happen. | |
| And I perform at the best clubs in New York. | |
| The comedians forever have been going, why aren't you on those shows? | |
| And I've gone, I'm trying. | |
| And so finally, now I actually don't have to be on them. | |
| I had an audition for the Comedy Cellar two nights ago. | |
| Best club in perhaps the world. | |
| And it didn't matter to me if I got in or not. | |
| Because I have my own following. | |
| And if you're really doing this to make people laugh and to, you know, do shows, I have the opportunity to tour and put on my own shows anywhere in the world at this point. | |
| I thought up until, to be honest, up until yourself, so up until very recently, last few months, that kind of satire was dead in a way. | |
| Because it was like, how can you even do satire anymore? | |
| Because you can't tell the difference. | |
| You know, you could get up on a stage and kind of be the most sort of over-the-top, dramatized version of something, and you still wouldn't be as mental as people actually are in reality. | |
| But then I find myself watching your stuff, And that's why it's funny to me, is that you could actually be genuine. | |
| Yeah, well, there's a new territory now, which is you can actually just impersonate this new sort of Perpetuated accepted mental illness and it's not even funny. | |
| It's sad in a way that a lot of these people who think they have five genders or have no gender or you know kids who say they're there are the opposite sex. | |
| It is really sad, but Hey, as a comedian, it's gold because I'll just see some video of some guy breaking down and then I'll just take it like an inch further and I'm done for the day by 11am. | |
| It makes me think about that. | |
| Do you remember the video where the guy made a video where he's crying over Britney Spears? | |
| This was years ago. | |
| Do you remember the one I'm talking about? | |
| I think so. | |
| And it went kind of everywhere, and it turned out the guy was just acting, and he was just taking the mic, and it was so over the top. | |
| But I bet if you looked at that now, like if that video appeared on social media now, you'd go, oh yeah, I know people like that. | |
| I know people that react like that. | |
| Yeah, you go, that's my boss, that's my manager. | |
| That's everybody at the company. | |
| Exactly. | |
| It wouldn't be tolerated back then, but now people are so afraid of offending people by saying, hey, you can't do that. | |
| That's not how adults act. | |
| It's just it's going to get we think it's crazy now. | |
| I mean, there's no upper limits to how how far this is going to get. | |
| I think a great example is there was the Well, we're in the future now. | |
| There was a shooting at this gay nightclub in Colorado, which now would be a few weeks ago, and the shooter Was accused of being this far-right extremist who was, you know, shooting people up because he didn't want a drag show. | |
| Well, the shooter just came out and said he's actually non-binary and uses they them pronouns. | |
| And there's a clip of CNN where the anchors are announcing that and they're being so careful because they they they're realizing the trap that they've created, which is They now can't criticize that person because misgendering is violence and so they would cause even more violence. | |
| So you're starting to see these contradictions happen and I say just sit back and enjoy the show because it's going to get out of control. | |
| It's interesting you mention that because I was talking to one of the guys about that earlier and there's also a bit where people then jumped on the New York Times because they were still referring to the shooter as him. | |
| And they were going, well, hang on, you're misgendering them. | |
| And it's like, mate, they just shut up a nightclub. | |
| I don't think we care about what pronouns we're using. | |
| It's insane. | |
| You're right in terms of what's going to happen in the future. | |
| And it seems to me like... | |
| You could do an experiment where you take every single parent in a certain city, say, and you say, you know what, every time your kid screams and tantrums for sweets, candy at the checkout, you have to give them the candy. | |
| You have to give it to them. | |
| And then wait 20 years and see what that person's like when they're 25, 26, because that's what you're creating. | |
| That's hilarious. | |
| Yeah, well, you'd get me, basically, because that's how I was raised. | |
| But luckily, I had comedy to keep me out of trouble. | |
| That'd be a great reality show. | |
| It really would, wouldn't it? | |
| We should call it Affirm Their Feelings and just see what happens. | |
| Yeah, just go forward 25 years and see what you've created. | |
| Do you think, just finally, in terms of comedy, that we're at a point now where, you know, fortune favours the brave? | |
| So people like yourself, You know, are willing to kind of go there, and those people that have almost kneecapped themselves by trying to be politically correct are kind of, just basically kind of writing themselves out of the future of comedy. | |
| Perhaps, yeah. | |
| They may have their niche audience, and they may have a career, but because the rules are changing every day, you're cutting off this never-ending flow of potential comedy. | |
| So, you know, I do see a lot of people starting to reach out to me who I thought hated me, and now they're saying, hey, can you come headline my show? | |
| You know, how do you build a YouTube page? | |
| So people are starting to, I mean, I got a lot of crap and I don't want to lie. | |
| It's not easy to suddenly start taking big risks and making jokes about all sorts of things. | |
| I mean, I lost, I lost friends. | |
| I lost plenty of work. | |
| You know, I wasn't allowed to work for not getting the vaccine. | |
| So I took a big hit for it, but If you keep doing it and you just keep going, it'll pay off. | |
| And I think a lot of these comedians, now that they see my, the numbers don't lie. | |
| So they see the numbers and they go, all right, well, I guess he's doing something right. | |
| Yeah, absolutely. | |
| So, because it's Christmas, what does Christmas mean to you? | |
| It looks like you've got a Father Christmas suit behind you, actually. | |
| That's just a really crappy tree right there. | |
| I'm in New York City, so lugging a tree on the subway at this point, it's too risky. | |
| It's not going to happen, no. | |
| Yeah, yeah. | |
| So, I mean, yeah, I grew up celebrating Christmas. | |
| It was really about the presents. | |
| I mean, that was it. | |
| I still get excited. | |
| My dad gives me a big gift every year and, you know, family. | |
| I got to just start my own family, though. | |
| You know, I'm 36. | |
| I can't rely on my family for joy anymore. | |
| No. | |
| No, I must admit, when I had kids that Christmas just came and became a big amazing thing. | |
| Which it wasn't before. | |
| I was the same as you. | |
| It's like, yeah, it's annoying that Jesus died and stuff, but I'd really like an Xbox. | |
| But now, you know, it takes on a whole new meaning. | |
| Right, right. | |
| Exactly. | |
| So, yeah, that's my goal is to have some kids and get excited for it again. | |
| Absolutely. | |
| Absolutely. | |
| Well, cheers, Tyler. | |
| Thanks for talking to us, mate. | |
| Have a wicked Christmas. | |
| Hey! | |
| Happy Christmas! |
