Ladies and CK!
Stop.
Hi.
It's a little early for that.
I...
Well, thank you very much for being here.
This is the 40th year of this show's existence
and this is the finale,
so I'm very honored, honestly, to be asked to host it.
So thanks, and I'm glad you guys are here.
Um...
Yeah, it's fine.
Anyway, uh...
I was born in 1967, and so I grew up in the 70s.
So I'm not racist.
However, I do have mild racism.
It's the best I could do coming out of the 70s
because that was a very racist decade.
People said racist things all the time
and nobody got offended.
The only time somebody got offended
if you said something racist in the 70s
is when they would then say like,
hey, you interrupted me, I was saying something racist.
Why did you...
But I...
So I have mild racism.
It's benign. It's not aggressive.
It's not even negative racism. It's mild racism.
I'll give you an example, okay?
Like, see, like, if I go to a pizza place
I've never been to before,
and it's run by four black women,
I'll go like, uh, hmm.
See, it's very mild.
It's extremely mild racism.
I'll notice that.
Yeah.
You don't usually see that, four black women
running a pizza place.
Unless it's called four black girls pizza
or something like that,
like that's the whole point of the place.
It's mild.
Here's another example of mild racism.
If I say I'm in a hospital
and the doctor comes in to treat me
and the doctor's from China or India,
I'll think, well, good, good.
Good, more of that, why not?
