Hi.

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Official YIFY movies site:
YTS.MX

4
00:00:08,834 --> 00:00:09,835
Hello.

5
00:00:11,576 --> 00:00:12,929
There you are.

6
00:00:13,013 --> 00:00:14,800
What is the deal?
Where is she?

7
00:00:14,884 --> 00:00:15,888
Hair and makeup are doing finals.

8
00:00:15,972 --> 00:00:17,934
She'll be out any minute.

9
00:00:18,018 --> 00:00:20,545
Cue cards? Really?
She has three lines to remember.

10
00:00:20,629 --> 00:00:22,634
Yeah, but with copy this good,
she wants to make sure

11
00:00:22,718 --> 00:00:24,636
to really nail it.
I'm sorry.

12
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:26,899
When the agency wanted that guy
who ate all those hot dogs,

13
00:00:26,983 --> 00:00:30,120
it was me who fought for Bella
because I'm old enough

14
00:00:30,204 --> 00:00:32,122
to remember when she was a big deal.

15
00:00:32,206 --> 00:00:35,299
And I thought you were just
fresh out of film school.

16
00:00:35,383 --> 00:00:37,385
Okay, listen,

17
00:00:37,472 --> 00:00:40,130
Bella is incredibly humbled that
you chose her to represent,

18
00:00:40,214 --> 00:00:43,434
um... Oma Wender's
Christmas Soda.

19
00:00:43,521 --> 00:00:45,091
No.

20
00:00:45,175 --> 00:00:47,003
- That sounds delicious--
- No, darling.

21
00:00:47,090 --> 00:00:50,615
You are not going to
make me wear this Santa hat.

22
00:00:50,702 --> 00:00:52,359
I didn't spend an hour in the chair,

23
00:00:52,443 --> 00:00:53,970
so that I could look like
someone who just waltzed

24
00:00:54,054 --> 00:00:56,276
out of Deep Discount Depot.

25
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,192
No, no. You look... fabulous.

26
00:00:59,276 --> 00:01:01,670
All right, let's get
final touches in here.

27
00:01:03,585 --> 00:01:05,677
Okay, let's hurry up.

28
00:01:05,761 --> 00:01:07,418
Okay, thank you.

29
00:01:07,502 --> 00:01:09,852
Thank you, that's good.
Thank you. Excellent.

30
00:01:12,289 --> 00:01:14,425
Gorgeous!

31
00:01:14,509 --> 00:01:18,295
Okay, I think we're ready to go.
Ready, Bella? Action!

32
00:01:18,382 --> 00:01:21,780
Hello, I'm comedienne
Bella Deldomino,

33
00:01:21,864 --> 00:01:23,782
here to share

34
00:01:23,866 --> 00:01:27,003
my favorite holiday treat

35
00:01:27,087 --> 00:01:30,832
from Ardenville's
historic craft soda makers,

36
00:01:30,916 --> 00:01:33,789
Oma Wenders.

37
00:01:38,272 --> 00:01:39,580
Oh!

38
00:01:39,664 --> 00:01:41,452
Yes! Um...

39
00:01:41,536 --> 00:01:43,364
Just like Christmas.

40
00:01:43,451 --> 00:01:44,803
Um, cut.

41
00:01:44,887 --> 00:01:46,718
Can we take five?
Aubri!

42
00:01:46,802 --> 00:01:48,459
Can we just take five?
Five.

43
00:01:48,543 --> 00:01:50,200
Take five.

44
00:01:50,284 --> 00:01:52,550
Hi. Okay. You good?

45
00:01:52,634 --> 00:01:56,075
Let me tell you...
when my taste buds grow back.

46
00:01:56,159 --> 00:01:57,337
Well, if you get it in the next take,

47
00:01:57,421 --> 00:01:58,556
you won't have to drink anymore.

48
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,384
I can't do it.

49
00:02:00,468 --> 00:02:03,300
What do you mean you can't?

50
00:02:03,384 --> 00:02:05,519
- I'm sober now.
- It's not alcoholic.

51
00:02:05,603 --> 00:02:07,260
You're joking.

52
00:02:07,344 --> 00:02:09,262
Uh... what do you propose we do?

53
00:02:09,346 --> 00:02:11,870
Fill it up with paint thinner;
it'd go down a lot easier.

54
00:02:11,957 --> 00:02:13,394
Ladies?

55
00:02:13,524 --> 00:02:15,961
Just one second, please.

56
00:02:16,048 --> 00:02:18,184
Okay, I can go grab a bucket,
and then you can take a sip,

57
00:02:18,268 --> 00:02:21,013
and then you can spit it right
out, and then they can--

58
00:02:21,097 --> 00:02:22,881
they can cut to a shot of
a bottle or something.

59
00:02:22,968 --> 00:02:24,799
- Can you handle that?
- Okay.

60
00:02:24,883 --> 00:02:27,976
But don't you ever say that I
never did anything for you.

61
00:02:28,060 --> 00:02:30,066
Well, we don't have
all day to go over everything

62
00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:31,937
that is wrong about
the sentence you just said.

63
00:02:32,021 --> 00:02:33,460
I'd love to listen to you, darling,

64
00:02:33,544 --> 00:02:36,420
but I'm kind of trapped in that moment.

65
00:02:36,504 --> 00:02:38,857
Okay, I, uh, will go
speak to the director.

66
00:02:38,941 --> 00:02:41,338
Oh!

67
00:02:41,422 --> 00:02:43,035
- Uh...
- Oh!

68
00:02:43,119 --> 00:02:45,994
The thing is,
when Bella was six years old,

69
00:02:46,078 --> 00:02:50,042
the color green was very
triggering for her.

70
00:02:50,126 --> 00:02:53,176
Oh, darlings, thank you so much.

71
00:02:53,260 --> 00:02:56,828
You were all
so wonderful to work with. Oh!

72
00:02:56,915 --> 00:03:00,487
Now, if you ever need
tickets to the Comedy Club,

73
00:03:00,571 --> 00:03:04,404
just reach out to Aubri, day or night.

74
00:03:04,488 --> 00:03:06,885
Day, please, thank you.

75
00:03:06,969 --> 00:03:08,539
Okay, we need to get downtown ASAP, okay?

76
00:03:08,623 --> 00:03:10,628
What for?

77
00:03:10,712 --> 00:03:13,196
For the interview. I sent you
the questions last night.

78
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:14,936
Did you pick your
favorite Christmas memory?

79
00:03:15,020 --> 00:03:18,154
I can't because the really
good ones I can't remember,

80
00:03:18,241 --> 00:03:20,768
and the other ones, I'd be
breaking an NDA to share them.

81
00:03:20,852 --> 00:03:23,162
What am I gonna say?

82
00:03:23,246 --> 00:03:26,034
Bella, you pay me to write your
jokes, not your life story.

83
00:03:26,118 --> 00:03:28,124
What about when you were
writing my autobiography?

84
00:03:28,208 --> 00:03:29,992
There must be something there.

85
00:03:30,079 --> 00:03:31,823
We didn't get past
the chapter on pre-nups.

86
00:03:31,907 --> 00:03:33,691
Oh...

87
00:03:33,822 --> 00:03:35,519
Okay. You said last Christmas
was your favorite ever.

88
00:03:35,606 --> 00:03:37,521
Why don't we work off of
something like that?

89
00:03:37,608 --> 00:03:40,745
It was great.
My set just killed;

90
00:03:40,829 --> 00:03:42,703
I booked two late-night gigs out of that.

91
00:03:42,787 --> 00:03:45,750
I just want to be more
relatable, you know?

92
00:03:45,834 --> 00:03:47,575
I don't want to be all show business-y.

93
00:03:47,662 --> 00:03:49,536
I want to be more ordinary,

94
00:03:49,620 --> 00:03:51,451
you know, like you or one of them.

95
00:03:51,535 --> 00:03:53,540
Okay, uh...

96
00:03:53,624 --> 00:03:55,673
Okay, when I was a kid, growing up,

97
00:03:55,757 --> 00:03:57,022
all my cousins, aunts and uncles,

98
00:03:57,106 --> 00:03:58,632
they would stay over on Christmas Eve

99
00:03:58,716 --> 00:04:00,330
so we could open the gifts
together in the morning,

100
00:04:00,414 --> 00:04:03,071
and, oh, this, this was my time to shine--

101
00:04:03,155 --> 00:04:04,377
Aubri, if you're trying to convince me

102
00:04:04,461 --> 00:04:05,987
to never have children,

103
00:04:06,071 --> 00:04:09,208
darling, that ship has sailed.

104
00:04:09,292 --> 00:04:11,297
But Mom actually would stop me

105
00:04:11,381 --> 00:04:14,126
at 8 p.m. to honor Santa's
favorite song, "Silent Night",

106
00:04:14,210 --> 00:04:15,603
because she said that Santa

107
00:04:15,690 --> 00:04:17,999
actually wouldn't fill my stockings

108
00:04:18,083 --> 00:04:21,351
if I played the part
of Tiny Tim after sundown,

109
00:04:21,435 --> 00:04:22,830
and you know, when I think about it now,

110
00:04:22,914 --> 00:04:24,441
actually, I think she was--

111
00:04:24,525 --> 00:04:26,007
And you know Santa was right, darling.

112
00:04:26,091 --> 00:04:27,748
Shh!

113
00:04:27,832 --> 00:04:30,882
I'm almost dizzy from listening to you.

114
00:04:30,966 --> 00:04:34,973
Now, make that a whole lot
shorter and a whole lot funnier.

115
00:04:35,057 --> 00:04:37,541
We've got an interview on our hands.

116
00:04:37,625 --> 00:04:40,848
I-I was, uh, being vulnerable, but...

117
00:04:40,932 --> 00:04:44,243
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I got the door. Here.

118
00:04:44,327 --> 00:04:46,286
Aubri?

119
00:04:50,899 --> 00:04:53,162
I really hope those
deliveries get here today.

120
00:04:54,816 --> 00:04:56,908
All these people performed here?

121
00:04:56,992 --> 00:05:00,041
Yep, it actually used to be
a speakeasy back in the '20s,

122
00:05:00,125 --> 00:05:03,433
before becoming a hot spot for comedians.

123
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,960
Mike Baxter?
I love his movies.

124
00:05:06,044 --> 00:05:07,875
Oh, the old ones,

125
00:05:07,959 --> 00:05:09,573
before he started playing
addicts and fathers.

126
00:05:09,657 --> 00:05:11,575
What?
No, I love those.

127
00:05:11,659 --> 00:05:13,925
His comedy is, I don't know, a
little bit too juvenile for me.

128
00:05:14,009 --> 00:05:15,706
Well, that's his early stuff,

129
00:05:15,793 --> 00:05:17,581
right after Saturday
Sketch Club.

130
00:05:17,665 --> 00:05:20,668
With all these people here,

131
00:05:20,755 --> 00:05:22,586
how could you not sell out
the Christmas Variety Show?

132
00:05:22,670 --> 00:05:25,153
Because none of these people
ever came back to the club.

133
00:05:25,237 --> 00:05:26,630
No, no, they work on their material

134
00:05:26,717 --> 00:05:28,197
on our small suburban stage,

135
00:05:28,284 --> 00:05:31,113
and then they ride off into the sunset.

136
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,337
So, who do you have booked so far?

137
00:05:34,421 --> 00:05:36,687
We've got a couple of local bands, ooh,

138
00:05:36,771 --> 00:05:38,993
and a Mark Twain impersonator.

139
00:05:39,077 --> 00:05:40,865
Although, he says he only does late Twain.

140
00:05:40,949 --> 00:05:42,432
It's not my fault.

141
00:05:42,516 --> 00:05:45,043
Everybody is booked for the holidays.

142
00:05:45,127 --> 00:05:47,001
Hey, cuz, what happens if you
don't sell it out?

143
00:05:47,085 --> 00:05:48,481
Well, let's see...

144
00:05:48,565 --> 00:05:50,440
I lose my job, hopes and dreams dashed,

145
00:05:50,524 --> 00:05:52,485
five of the best years of my life wasted.

146
00:05:52,569 --> 00:05:54,092
Oh, and I get to move back in with my mom.

147
00:05:54,223 --> 00:05:55,358
So, there's that.

148
00:05:55,442 --> 00:05:56,750
Oh, yikes.

149
00:05:56,834 --> 00:05:58,622
The club's not that big.

150
00:05:58,706 --> 00:05:59,753
How hard could it be to sell it out?

151
00:05:59,837 --> 00:06:01,491
On Christmas Eve?

152
00:06:01,578 --> 00:06:03,801
The one night where people actually prefer

153
00:06:03,885 --> 00:06:05,582
to stay home with their families?

154
00:06:05,669 --> 00:06:07,326
- It's not gonna be easy.
- Yeah.

155
00:06:07,410 --> 00:06:09,328
Guess Santa is the only one
you ever hear about

156
00:06:09,412 --> 00:06:10,808
leaving his home on Christmas Eve, huh?

157
00:06:12,850 --> 00:06:15,421
- You think I'm doomed?
- Nah.

158
00:06:15,505 --> 00:06:16,509
I will start by putting
this on the platform.

159
00:06:16,593 --> 00:06:18,119
Oh, actually,

160
00:06:18,203 --> 00:06:19,944
do you mind signing for the deliveries,

161
00:06:20,031 --> 00:06:21,819
and then I will manage
to get this guy up there.

162
00:06:21,903 --> 00:06:23,121
Yeah.

163
00:06:23,208 --> 00:06:24,822
Okay.

164
00:06:24,906 --> 00:06:27,433
Oh! You're heavy.
Okay.

165
00:06:27,517 --> 00:06:28,910
All right.

166
00:06:37,048 --> 00:06:39,663
Two steps left.
Ehh...

167
00:06:39,747 --> 00:06:42,143
My right, actually.
Spin!

168
00:06:42,227 --> 00:06:44,578
Big spin!
Excellent form.

169
00:06:44,665 --> 00:06:46,365
Will you two be performing
at the open mic on Thursday?

170
00:06:46,449 --> 00:06:48,062
Well, he's a little shy

171
00:06:48,146 --> 00:06:51,106
because, last time, he melted in front of...

172
00:06:53,064 --> 00:06:56,244
Uh, Mike... Baxter. What are--

173
00:06:56,328 --> 00:06:58,072
What are you doing here?

174
00:06:58,156 --> 00:06:59,987
Uh, just seeing if I have a
future in choreography.

175
00:07:00,071 --> 00:07:01,638
Hi, Mike.

176
00:07:01,769 --> 00:07:03,727
- Hi. What's your name?
- Uh, Aubri Wilson.

177
00:07:03,814 --> 00:07:04,992
- Hi.
- Sorry, I didn't...

178
00:07:05,076 --> 00:07:06,469
Just I didn't hear about your...

179
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,124
No, I'm sorry for the Frosty dance.

180
00:07:09,211 --> 00:07:11,564
I, uh...
I just thought I'd stop by.

181
00:07:11,648 --> 00:07:12,696
This is where
I got my big break.

182
00:07:12,780 --> 00:07:14,262
I saw that the--

183
00:07:14,346 --> 00:07:16,174
Mike Baxter?
Is that you, Mike Baxter?

184
00:07:16,261 --> 00:07:19,485
Shouldn't you be out
losing millions of dollars

185
00:07:19,569 --> 00:07:20,878
for a studio somewhere?

186
00:07:20,962 --> 00:07:23,446
Bella Deldomino.

187
00:07:23,530 --> 00:07:25,752
They told me to take the season off.

188
00:07:25,836 --> 00:07:28,146
Something about chapter 11.
I don't know.

189
00:07:28,230 --> 00:07:30,583
But what brought you
back here from the mount?

190
00:07:30,667 --> 00:07:32,542
Oh, you know, Christmas
is a time for charity,

191
00:07:32,626 --> 00:07:35,588
so I started thinking, "Who do I
know that needs help the most?"

192
00:07:35,672 --> 00:07:36,850
And immediately, you came to mind.

193
00:07:36,934 --> 00:07:40,332
Oh, still as sweet as ever.

194
00:07:40,416 --> 00:07:42,769
Tell me, how does a guy get
stage time these days, huh?

195
00:07:42,853 --> 00:07:45,076
Oh, come on, Mike.
You're a big Hollywood star.

196
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:46,860
You don't need to be doing stand-up.

197
00:07:46,944 --> 00:07:48,253
Well, it sounds like my agent
already got to you.

198
00:07:48,337 --> 00:07:50,647
Well, I'm up for this big action movie,

199
00:07:50,731 --> 00:07:54,041
a superhero thing called Rooster Man.

200
00:07:54,125 --> 00:07:56,000
It's a working title.

201
00:07:56,084 --> 00:07:58,611
A-ha! Will the special effects people,

202
00:07:58,695 --> 00:08:01,527
will they be able to
finally make you funny?

203
00:08:01,611 --> 00:08:04,400
Or will they just have
you shooting laser beams?

204
00:08:04,484 --> 00:08:05,615
Well, he's a superhero

205
00:08:05,702 --> 00:08:08,012
with a sense of humor,

206
00:08:08,096 --> 00:08:10,838
so I thought I'd try to remind
Hollywood and you, apparently,

207
00:08:10,925 --> 00:08:12,538
that I'm still hilarious.

208
00:08:12,622 --> 00:08:14,410
Absolutely. Well, you know, this is not

209
00:08:14,494 --> 00:08:16,455
our busiest time of the year,
darling, as you know.

210
00:08:16,539 --> 00:08:18,152
But maybe it will be with you here.

211
00:08:18,236 --> 00:08:22,458
I mean, you're welcome to step
on that stage any time, sir.

212
00:08:22,545 --> 00:08:24,634
Well, I really appreciate that.

213
00:08:24,721 --> 00:08:27,423
The competition looks fierce.

214
00:08:27,507 --> 00:08:30,727
I hear she has a line on a
fantastic dancing snowman act.

215
00:08:30,814 --> 00:08:32,642
Yes, if he can get over his nerves,

216
00:08:32,729 --> 00:08:34,647
we might really have something.

217
00:08:34,731 --> 00:08:36,516
You guys are trying
to make a joke about me.

218
00:08:36,603 --> 00:08:38,216
I don't think it's funny.

219
00:08:38,300 --> 00:08:39,783
Bella, if I was making a joke about you,

220
00:08:39,867 --> 00:08:41,346
I definitely would have
mentioned your jewelry.

221
00:08:41,433 --> 00:08:42,739
How does your neck stay up?

222
00:08:42,826 --> 00:08:43,958
Do you have a chiropractor on call?

223
00:08:44,045 --> 00:08:45,963
Mikey, Mikey,

224
00:08:46,047 --> 00:08:49,532
you're reminding me, giving me flashbacks

225
00:08:49,616 --> 00:08:52,230
of that day you left for California. Oh!

226
00:08:52,314 --> 00:08:53,449
I was so happy that day.

227
00:08:53,533 --> 00:08:54,667
All right, I gotta go.

228
00:08:54,751 --> 00:08:56,408
Nice to meet you, Aubri.

229
00:08:56,492 --> 00:08:58,062
It is so nice to see you.

230
00:08:58,146 --> 00:09:01,326
Hi.
What the--

231
00:09:01,410 --> 00:09:02,849
Howdy.

232
00:09:02,933 --> 00:09:05,022
That was Mike Baxter.

233
00:09:05,109 --> 00:09:06,984
Oh, yeah. You missed me a lot.

234
00:09:07,068 --> 00:09:08,507
How does he know your name?

235
00:09:08,591 --> 00:09:10,419
You are getting the deliveries next time.

236
00:09:10,506 --> 00:09:12,377
Thank you so much for having us.

237
00:09:12,508 --> 00:09:15,337
DRXL is our favorite station.

238
00:09:17,121 --> 00:09:19,562
Hey, I brought you some coffee.

239
00:09:19,646 --> 00:09:21,346
Oh, you're a lifesaver.
Just in time.

240
00:09:21,430 --> 00:09:24,480
Oh, they're starting.

241
00:09:24,564 --> 00:09:26,391
Good evening. I'm Robert Busby,

242
00:09:26,478 --> 00:09:28,179
and we're kicking off
Ardenville's Christmas Fest

243
00:09:28,263 --> 00:09:30,181
with our hometown funny lady,

244
00:09:30,265 --> 00:09:32,183
Bella Deldomino, the star and owner

245
00:09:32,267 --> 00:09:33,532
of the legendary Comedy Club.

246
00:09:33,616 --> 00:09:36,013
You know, it's a Christmas is a special

247
00:09:36,097 --> 00:09:38,360
time of the year
for us at the Comedy Club.

248
00:09:38,447 --> 00:09:41,450
We are laughing all the way,
and we truly believe

249
00:09:41,537 --> 00:09:45,283
celebrating can be made so much
better with a two-drink minimum.

250
00:09:45,367 --> 00:09:48,413
Remember when I used to
interview you in our treehouse,

251
00:09:48,500 --> 00:09:51,289
back when you were going to be
the world's biggest movie star?

252
00:09:51,373 --> 00:09:54,463
Well, mom said, "Acting
is a hard knock life.

253
00:09:54,594 --> 00:09:56,033
"Everybody wants to be in the movies.

254
00:09:56,117 --> 00:09:57,861
"Get a real job, kid."
So, I did.

255
00:09:57,945 --> 00:10:00,298
My real job is a joke-writer

256
00:10:00,382 --> 00:10:02,082
for a woman who texts
with her pointer finger.

257
00:10:02,166 --> 00:10:03,994
Oh, don't sell yourself short.

258
00:10:04,081 --> 00:10:05,564
You're also her personal assistant.

259
00:10:05,648 --> 00:10:07,392
Thanks.

260
00:10:07,476 --> 00:10:09,394
So, I couldn't help but notice

261
00:10:09,478 --> 00:10:11,614
you've decorated every inch of
the club in string lights,

262
00:10:11,698 --> 00:10:14,791
while your own home
looks like a troll cave.

263
00:10:14,875 --> 00:10:16,880
Okay, well, the Comedy Club is my home,

264
00:10:16,964 --> 00:10:20,837
and, well, being on the road
with the comedienne herself,

265
00:10:20,968 --> 00:10:24,148
Oh, perfect.
Then, I can have your apartment.

266
00:10:24,232 --> 00:10:25,668
Consider it your
Christmas gift to me.

267
00:10:25,755 --> 00:10:27,325
Actually, if I remember correctly,

268
00:10:27,409 --> 00:10:28,892
my Christmas present was getting
you this job.

269
00:10:28,976 --> 00:10:30,717
And you should pay attention

270
00:10:30,804 --> 00:10:32,243
because you could learn a lot from Bella.

271
00:10:32,327 --> 00:10:34,027
I'm learning a lot more from you.

272
00:10:34,111 --> 00:10:37,593
Now, she might be the face,
but you're the talent.

273
00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:41,208
No, I can't do what Bella does.

274
00:10:41,292 --> 00:10:44,034
- I'm way too shy for that now.
- You can handle it.

275
00:10:44,121 --> 00:10:46,300
No. The Comedy Club has a legacy.

276
00:10:46,384 --> 00:10:48,564
Okay, Bella saved it from a bulldozer.

277
00:10:48,648 --> 00:10:50,566
Do you know how many legends
have performed there?

278
00:10:50,650 --> 00:10:54,526
It's launched, I don't know,
a thousand careers,

279
00:10:54,610 --> 00:10:57,398
and that woman, she did that.

280
00:10:57,482 --> 00:10:58,962
And I saw this as an opportunity

281
00:10:59,049 --> 00:11:00,747
to dance and sing

282
00:11:00,834 --> 00:11:04,057
and say jokes that
I'd learned off the TV.

283
00:11:04,141 --> 00:11:06,013
What about your career?

284
00:11:06,100 --> 00:11:09,062
Haven't you ever considered
getting out on that stage?

285
00:11:09,146 --> 00:11:12,715
I love writing, I do, and
Bella promised to introduce me

286
00:11:12,802 --> 00:11:14,938
to some of her literary agent friends.

287
00:11:15,022 --> 00:11:16,371
So, I will get to a writer's room.

288
00:11:16,458 --> 00:11:18,982
There's a ladder to climb.

289
00:11:19,069 --> 00:11:20,723
It's been five years.

290
00:11:20,810 --> 00:11:22,856
Maybe start looking for an elevator?

291
00:11:22,943 --> 00:11:24,730
Tell us, what's your
favorite Christmas memory?

292
00:11:24,814 --> 00:11:26,993
Well, oddly enough, Robert,

293
00:11:27,077 --> 00:11:28,734
it's also the beginning
of my comedy career.

294
00:11:28,818 --> 00:11:31,516
I still remember to this day,

295
00:11:31,603 --> 00:11:33,739
just like it was yesterday,
when I got my first laugh.

296
00:11:33,823 --> 00:11:35,825
It was my mother.

297
00:11:35,912 --> 00:11:36,957
Of course, it would
have been a whole lot better

298
00:11:37,044 --> 00:11:38,654
if it hadn't been Mom.

299
00:11:38,741 --> 00:11:40,790
At least she gave
your story a happy ending.

300
00:11:40,874 --> 00:11:43,009
I did that.

301
00:11:43,093 --> 00:11:46,056
Yeah. One of the perks of
being a writer is that

302
00:11:46,140 --> 00:11:49,839
you never need therapy if you
can just change the ending.

303
00:11:49,926 --> 00:11:52,105
Now, we're happy to hear that
the Comedy Club is partnering

304
00:11:52,189 --> 00:11:54,891
with Oma Wenders to not only
sponsor Ardenville's

305
00:11:54,975 --> 00:11:57,371
Christmas Fest, but to bring
back the variety show.

306
00:11:57,455 --> 00:11:58,721
It's been a while since
the Comedy Club hosted.

307
00:11:58,805 --> 00:12:00,374
Yes, it has.

308
00:12:00,458 --> 00:12:02,463
Eight years since you've hosted.

309
00:12:02,547 --> 00:12:04,854
She's looking at me, isn't she?

310
00:12:04,941 --> 00:12:06,290
Yes, yes. Yes, it has.

311
00:12:06,421 --> 00:12:08,510
Who will be performing at the big show?

312
00:12:09,641 --> 00:12:11,995
Um, well...

313
00:12:12,079 --> 00:12:15,041
Christmas is full of surprises, isn't it?

314
00:12:15,125 --> 00:12:17,174
So, I don't want to say too much too soon.

315
00:12:17,258 --> 00:12:19,350
Very true.

316
00:12:19,434 --> 00:12:21,566
Well, Christmas is still three weeks away,

317
00:12:21,653 --> 00:12:23,484
so we're going to be following
up with you. But until then,

318
00:12:23,568 --> 00:12:26,009
we hope to see you at all the
holiday events around town.

319
00:12:26,093 --> 00:12:27,227
Oh, I hope so, too.

320
00:12:27,311 --> 00:12:29,403
Was that good for you?

321
00:12:29,487 --> 00:12:30,535
You didn't tell her
about the variety show.

322
00:12:30,619 --> 00:12:32,015
Nope.

323
00:12:32,099 --> 00:12:33,581
And you thought that was a good idea?

324
00:12:33,665 --> 00:12:36,016
At the time, yes.
Not so much anymore, no.

325
00:12:42,065 --> 00:12:45,202
The Comedy Club is
sponsoring the Christmas Fest

326
00:12:45,286 --> 00:12:47,117
and the Christmas Variety Show?

327
00:12:47,201 --> 00:12:50,555
You know why we had to nix
that years ago, don't you?

328
00:12:50,639 --> 00:12:53,903
Because nobody wants to leave
their house on Christmas Eve,

329
00:12:53,990 --> 00:12:56,343
and we would have to
sell out the entire show

330
00:12:56,427 --> 00:12:58,215
just to break even.

331
00:12:58,299 --> 00:12:59,999
Yeah, but the show,

332
00:13:00,083 --> 00:13:01,911
the show was legendary;
it launched so many careers.

333
00:13:01,998 --> 00:13:05,132
And all those network
execs and studio heads,

334
00:13:05,219 --> 00:13:07,485
I mean, they all used to
celebrate Christmas at the club.

335
00:13:07,569 --> 00:13:09,353
That was back in
the day of covered wagons,

336
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,229
when there were only three TV networks.

337
00:13:12,313 --> 00:13:14,405
Well, you finally agreed to
sponsor the Christmas Fest,

338
00:13:14,489 --> 00:13:18,061
I just-- I assumed that the
variety show was part of it.

339
00:13:18,145 --> 00:13:20,541
The city is so excited, Bella.

340
00:13:20,625 --> 00:13:22,540
This is a Christmas tragedy.

341
00:13:22,671 --> 00:13:24,499
I don't have to go to any of those events,

342
00:13:24,586 --> 00:13:27,197
just because I'm sponsoring them, do I?

343
00:13:27,284 --> 00:13:30,508
Well, you are a beloved local celebrity.

344
00:13:30,592 --> 00:13:33,380
- I'm sure you're gonna have--
- Local, Aubri?

345
00:13:33,464 --> 00:13:35,510
I think I have a little more
range than local, Aubri.

346
00:13:35,597 --> 00:13:36,862
Of course.

347
00:13:36,946 --> 00:13:39,256
So, just cancel it.

348
00:13:39,340 --> 00:13:41,342
Bella, the Comedy Club has to
show up to some key event,

349
00:13:41,429 --> 00:13:43,521
and we also have to donate

350
00:13:43,605 --> 00:13:46,350
the proceeds of the
variety show to a charity.

351
00:13:46,434 --> 00:13:48,831
- What charity?
- Children's Hospital.

352
00:13:48,915 --> 00:13:53,096
The one charity
I can't back out of.

353
00:13:53,180 --> 00:13:56,273
Okay, we can invite industry bigwigs.

354
00:13:56,357 --> 00:13:59,969
Maybe even your agent literary friends,

355
00:14:00,056 --> 00:14:02,148
you know, the ones that you
promised to introduce me to.

356
00:14:02,232 --> 00:14:04,324
It'll be great.

357
00:14:04,408 --> 00:14:06,283
The variety show almost
destroyed my career

358
00:14:06,367 --> 00:14:07,719
and brought the Comedy Club down.

359
00:14:07,803 --> 00:14:09,283
What happened?

360
00:14:09,413 --> 00:14:10,678
I remember the first Christmas,

361
00:14:10,762 --> 00:14:13,856
I was so excited to be part of it,

362
00:14:13,940 --> 00:14:17,813
but I had no idea then how
difficult it was to sell out

363
00:14:17,900 --> 00:14:20,033
a show on Christmas Eve.

364
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:21,646
Yeah, but we can send out
industry invitations today.

365
00:14:21,730 --> 00:14:24,214
We can publicize it on our social media.

366
00:14:24,298 --> 00:14:27,518
We can tell everybody
and it's gonna be great.

367
00:14:27,605 --> 00:14:31,047
Industry big wigs do not laugh.

368
00:14:31,131 --> 00:14:33,658
And the few local people who showed up,

369
00:14:33,742 --> 00:14:35,268
they couldn't carry the show.

370
00:14:35,352 --> 00:14:37,659
There wasn't enough of them.

371
00:14:37,746 --> 00:14:39,574
Oh, I totally bombed.

372
00:14:39,704 --> 00:14:41,884
I can't tell you how many gigs I missed

373
00:14:41,968 --> 00:14:45,061
because of that
Christmas Variety Concert,

374
00:14:45,145 --> 00:14:48,238
and I've been trying to crawl my
way back ever since.

375
00:14:48,322 --> 00:14:51,673
Yeah, you're right.

376
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,722
This is on me and I will fix it.

377
00:14:54,806 --> 00:14:56,420
- I'll think of something.
- Good.

378
00:14:56,504 --> 00:14:58,898
- Chop, chop.
- Yeah.

379
00:15:05,078 --> 00:15:06,517
They published another list

380
00:15:06,601 --> 00:15:08,171
of all the young actresses you've dated?

381
00:15:08,255 --> 00:15:09,694
Do you know how often
I have to convince people

382
00:15:09,778 --> 00:15:11,609
that my brother's not a creep?

383
00:15:11,693 --> 00:15:14,394
Are the influencers on that list
too or just the actresses.

384
00:15:14,478 --> 00:15:18,094
Look, I've never even met half
the women on this list, okay?

385
00:15:18,178 --> 00:15:19,922
Except for Margot.

386
00:15:20,006 --> 00:15:24,575
I'm kidding. I have moved on
from all that.

387
00:15:24,662 --> 00:15:26,754
Okay? Enough professional faceplants

388
00:15:26,838 --> 00:15:29,061
and your priorities start to change.

389
00:15:29,145 --> 00:15:30,541
Yeah, well, your career will bounce back.

390
00:15:30,625 --> 00:15:32,108
Don't be so hard on yourself.

391
00:15:32,192 --> 00:15:35,328
Those movies were pretentious,
exploitative,

392
00:15:35,412 --> 00:15:36,677
never-ending.

393
00:15:36,761 --> 00:15:38,636
- Oh!
- But don't get me wrong,

394
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,290
you really great in them.

395
00:15:40,374 --> 00:15:43,029
Oh, thank you.
That's really sweet of you.

396
00:15:47,033 --> 00:15:51,475
And two eggnogs
and two cinnamon rolls, please.

397
00:15:51,559 --> 00:15:53,303
Thank you so much.

398
00:15:53,387 --> 00:15:55,345
I gotta go. Text me when
you're done shopping.

399
00:15:55,432 --> 00:15:56,303
Yeah.

400
00:16:07,314 --> 00:16:09,406
- Good morning.
- Morning.

401
00:16:09,490 --> 00:16:11,016
I saw you while I was in line

402
00:16:11,100 --> 00:16:12,888
and thought you might need some eggnog.

403
00:16:12,972 --> 00:16:14,756
Don't worry; it's not alcoholic.

404
00:16:14,843 --> 00:16:16,543
Although, I did see a few people

405
00:16:16,627 --> 00:16:18,107
throw caution to the wind
at 9 a.m. on a Tuesday.

406
00:16:18,194 --> 00:16:19,979
No, thank you.

407
00:16:20,066 --> 00:16:21,893
I've already had my cup of
heavy cream this morning.

408
00:16:21,981 --> 00:16:24,290
Were you always this prickly
or did Bella drain

409
00:16:24,374 --> 00:16:26,292
all the Christmas spirit from you?

410
00:16:26,376 --> 00:16:28,120
Okay, now, you've put me in a
position where I'm some Grinch,

411
00:16:28,204 --> 00:16:29,510
just because
I don't want your eggnog.

412
00:16:29,597 --> 00:16:31,991
As her heart shrunk two full sizes.

413
00:16:33,731 --> 00:16:35,603
For Christmas.
And so, you'll leave me alone.

414
00:16:40,477 --> 00:16:42,088
What's in there?

415
00:16:42,175 --> 00:16:45,311
Oh, nothing. Just...

416
00:16:45,395 --> 00:16:48,964
thoughts, ideas, jokes.

417
00:16:49,051 --> 00:16:51,056
You're a comic?
You seem so well-adjusted.

418
00:16:51,140 --> 00:16:52,884
A writer for Bella.

419
00:16:52,968 --> 00:16:55,275
And you never wanted
to get on stage yourself?

420
00:16:55,405 --> 00:16:57,494
Once upon a time.

421
00:16:57,581 --> 00:16:58,890
And then, what happened?

422
00:16:58,974 --> 00:17:00,671
Someone threw a tomato too hard once?

423
00:17:00,758 --> 00:17:02,328
My words are much better
coming out of Bella's mouth.

424
00:17:02,412 --> 00:17:04,545
Well, as someone who has spent years

425
00:17:04,632 --> 00:17:06,068
saying someone else's words,

426
00:17:06,155 --> 00:17:08,160
I am thrilled to speak for myself again.

427
00:17:08,244 --> 00:17:10,858
You don't enjoy movies.

428
00:17:10,942 --> 00:17:12,338
Bella would kill for your career.

429
00:17:12,422 --> 00:17:14,079
She would commit battery for a callback.

430
00:17:14,163 --> 00:17:16,905
The money's okay,
but what I'm really in it for

431
00:17:16,992 --> 00:17:19,081
is the constant public scrutiny.

432
00:17:19,168 --> 00:17:20,651
That's why I love a comedy club.

433
00:17:20,735 --> 00:17:22,696
The scrutiny is much more intimate.

434
00:17:22,780 --> 00:17:25,218
Yeah, well, forgive me
if I don't shed a tear

435
00:17:25,305 --> 00:17:27,829
for the successful actor
up for an action-hero film.

436
00:17:29,613 --> 00:17:31,006
If you tell me what's in your notebook,

437
00:17:31,093 --> 00:17:35,057
I'll try to forgive you.

438
00:17:35,141 --> 00:17:37,842
Well, the tree lighting
ceremony is tonight.

439
00:17:37,926 --> 00:17:40,801
There are Christmas jokes, just
to kick off the festivities.

440
00:17:40,885 --> 00:17:44,283
Oh, great! This is great!
Let's-- let's hear one.

441
00:17:44,367 --> 00:17:45,719
No!

442
00:17:45,803 --> 00:17:47,156
Yes!

443
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:48,635
No, you're--
you're Mike Baxter.

444
00:17:48,719 --> 00:17:50,333
I could never read them to you.

445
00:17:50,417 --> 00:17:53,507
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

446
00:17:53,594 --> 00:17:55,425
Don't think of me
as Mike Baxter, the comic.

447
00:17:55,509 --> 00:17:57,772
Think of me as the guy
who's sitting next to you

448
00:17:57,859 --> 00:17:59,774
and desperately loves jokes.

449
00:18:00,862 --> 00:18:02,040
Very persuasive.

450
00:18:02,124 --> 00:18:03,955
Okay.

451
00:18:04,039 --> 00:18:05,997
I have this bit about how my mother

452
00:18:06,085 --> 00:18:08,261
is impossible to buy presents for.

453
00:18:08,348 --> 00:18:11,136
So, this year, I actually asked
her to tell me what she wants.

454
00:18:11,220 --> 00:18:12,311
And then, what she wants,
I can't seem to find anywhere.

455
00:18:12,395 --> 00:18:15,880
And well, the punchline is

456
00:18:15,964 --> 00:18:17,400
that what she wants most is for me

457
00:18:17,487 --> 00:18:19,318
to find better health insurance.

458
00:18:19,402 --> 00:18:22,191
- That's good.
- Yeah?

459
00:18:22,275 --> 00:18:25,060
That's good.
What if you somehow got hurt

460
00:18:25,147 --> 00:18:27,370
while you're searching for it?

461
00:18:27,454 --> 00:18:29,456
- Like sprained my ankle.
- Yeah.

462
00:18:29,543 --> 00:18:31,197
At least you think you did.

463
00:18:31,284 --> 00:18:32,676
You're too worried to go
to the doctor to find out.

464
00:18:32,763 --> 00:18:34,203
Are you sure

465
00:18:34,287 --> 00:18:35,595
you want to be an action hero

466
00:18:35,679 --> 00:18:37,162
because comedy suits you pretty well.

467
00:18:37,246 --> 00:18:39,947
Well, the Rooster Man is funny.

468
00:18:40,031 --> 00:18:41,862
- He's funny.
- The Rooster Man...

469
00:18:41,946 --> 00:18:43,731
See? You've just heard the name
and you're already laughing.

470
00:18:48,170 --> 00:18:49,827
Oh!
Oh, it's Bella. I better go.

471
00:18:49,911 --> 00:18:52,174
Right now?
What? Is the club on fire?

472
00:18:52,261 --> 00:18:54,527
Uh, no.
The Comedy Club's closed.

473
00:18:54,611 --> 00:18:58,180
That right there is the
star of the town tonight.

474
00:18:58,267 --> 00:19:00,139
Oh, this is why
I love Christmas;

475
00:19:00,226 --> 00:19:01,882
people coming together just to
watch a switch get flipped.

476
00:19:01,966 --> 00:19:03,185
Yeah, it's beautiful.

477
00:19:03,272 --> 00:19:04,842
I'll be there, front row.

478
00:19:04,926 --> 00:19:07,366
Back row? What?

479
00:19:07,450 --> 00:19:10,714
Uh, I just-- I don't want
Bella to get upstaged.

480
00:19:10,801 --> 00:19:13,108
I will be incognito,
I promise.

481
00:19:13,195 --> 00:19:14,808
- Like the Rooster Man.
- Hmm.

482
00:19:14,892 --> 00:19:16,723
I don't actually know what his deal is.

483
00:19:16,807 --> 00:19:20,289
Is he the one with the laser
thingies or is he invisible?

484
00:19:20,376 --> 00:19:21,728
Well, he's a rooster.

485
00:19:21,812 --> 00:19:23,643
So, he has razor-sharp talons

486
00:19:23,727 --> 00:19:25,210
and he can more, like,
glide short distances.

487
00:19:25,294 --> 00:19:27,299
Don't forget, he's funny.

488
00:19:27,383 --> 00:19:28,866
He is a grown man with talons, so...

489
00:19:28,950 --> 00:19:30,041
Hilarious.

490
00:19:30,125 --> 00:19:31,608
Oh, you forgot your, uh...

491
00:19:31,692 --> 00:19:33,302
Eggnog.

492
00:19:33,389 --> 00:19:36,003
I'll see you tonight.

493
00:19:36,087 --> 00:19:38,002
Hey, maybe you will, maybe you won't.

494
00:19:40,657 --> 00:19:43,663
Good news:

495
00:19:43,747 --> 00:19:46,449
we just secured an improv group
for the talent show.

496
00:19:46,533 --> 00:19:47,972
Amazing.
Second City?

497
00:19:48,056 --> 00:19:50,537
Cook County Technical Institute.

498
00:19:50,624 --> 00:19:52,629
But the good news is they said
they'd work for drinks.

499
00:19:52,713 --> 00:19:54,761
That puts us at four acts only,

500
00:19:54,845 --> 00:19:56,502
and we still need a headliner.

501
00:19:56,586 --> 00:19:58,849
Bella, right?

502
00:19:58,936 --> 00:20:00,854
No, she said she would rather
apologize to second husband

503
00:20:00,938 --> 00:20:02,157
than go up during the variety show.

504
00:20:02,244 --> 00:20:03,941
What about Mike Baxter?

505
00:20:04,028 --> 00:20:06,683
Ian, he's an award-nominated actor.

506
00:20:06,770 --> 00:20:08,993
I mean, there were Golden
Universe Awards or whatever,

507
00:20:09,077 --> 00:20:11,993
but no, he's not doing our show.

508
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:13,084
Okay, I want you guys
to tell me the truth.

509
00:20:13,168 --> 00:20:16,957
Is this too "Santa Baby"?

510
00:20:17,041 --> 00:20:19,134
Eartha Kitt wishes.

511
00:20:19,218 --> 00:20:20,787
Oh...
Aubri, who's your friend?

512
00:20:20,871 --> 00:20:23,526
This is Ian, my cousin.

513
00:20:23,613 --> 00:20:25,227
You hired him a month ago.

514
00:20:25,311 --> 00:20:29,228
Oh, and I would hire him
again in a heartbeat.

515
00:20:29,358 --> 00:20:32,495
You look ravishing, as always.

516
00:20:32,579 --> 00:20:35,062
But I think that outfit might be
a bit too much for tonight.

517
00:20:35,146 --> 00:20:37,282
It's pretty cold outside.
It's going to be freezing.

518
00:20:37,366 --> 00:20:38,675
What are you talking about?

519
00:20:38,759 --> 00:20:41,199
The gala is at the police museum.

520
00:20:41,283 --> 00:20:42,722
No, no, no. No.

521
00:20:42,806 --> 00:20:45,287
You are intro-ing
the tree lighting tonight.

522
00:20:45,374 --> 00:20:47,162
I sent you the jokes yesterday.

523
00:20:47,246 --> 00:20:49,338
I thought that was just banter
for the Italian beef hour

524
00:20:49,422 --> 00:20:51,206
at the gala.

525
00:20:51,293 --> 00:20:53,168
Besides, it's not like
I didn't tell you.

526
00:20:53,252 --> 00:20:57,691
The Christmas Fest is
a really big deal, Bella.

527
00:20:57,778 --> 00:21:00,607
If you saw the names of the
people on that list, Aubri,

528
00:21:00,694 --> 00:21:02,739
you wouldn't be making such a fuss.

529
00:21:02,826 --> 00:21:05,351
It's just a lot of people are
relying on you to be there.

530
00:21:05,438 --> 00:21:08,008
And I'm relying on myself
to start networking.

531
00:21:08,092 --> 00:21:10,533
I mean, why aren't I
in those superhero movies?

532
00:21:10,617 --> 00:21:15,102
What do you think?
I can't play a chicken or a--

533
00:21:15,186 --> 00:21:17,888
Or a sultry supervillain bent on revenge?

534
00:21:17,972 --> 00:21:21,280
Oh, Aubri, how much are we paying

535
00:21:21,367 --> 00:21:23,285
this delightful young man?

536
00:21:23,369 --> 00:21:24,547
Very little.

537
00:21:24,631 --> 00:21:25,849
Yeah.

538
00:21:25,936 --> 00:21:27,158
Oh, it's my manager.

539
00:21:27,242 --> 00:21:29,508
Okay, fix that tree thing.

540
00:21:29,592 --> 00:21:31,725
Remember, I believe in you.

541
00:21:31,812 --> 00:21:34,426
And you stay right where you are.

542
00:21:34,510 --> 00:21:36,338
Hello.

543
00:21:36,425 --> 00:21:38,166
- Thanks for encouraging her.
- Hey!

544
00:21:45,739 --> 00:21:49,180
It's a bummer nobody will
hear your jokes tonight.

545
00:21:49,264 --> 00:21:52,357
Oh, well, I'll have plenty more
opportunities before Christmas.

546
00:21:52,441 --> 00:21:54,881
Why doesn't Belle invite you to her party,

547
00:21:54,965 --> 00:21:56,840
so you can meet all her agent friends?

548
00:21:56,924 --> 00:21:59,843
Oh, she says bringing her
assistant as her plus one

549
00:21:59,927 --> 00:22:01,671
will make it seem like
she can't get a date.

550
00:22:01,755 --> 00:22:05,544
I just met her and she seems
incredible, but seems like

551
00:22:05,628 --> 00:22:06,937
she dangles a carrot to
keep you behind the scenes.

552
00:22:07,021 --> 00:22:09,023
No, she supports my career.

553
00:22:09,110 --> 00:22:11,420
Because it supports hers.

554
00:22:11,504 --> 00:22:12,986
Next year will be different.

555
00:22:13,070 --> 00:22:14,597
She knows how much this means to me.

556
00:22:14,681 --> 00:22:17,292
And it's not like
I don't enjoy my job.

557
00:22:17,379 --> 00:22:19,076
You're talented, cuz.

558
00:22:19,163 --> 00:22:20,429
I just want to see you hit it big time

559
00:22:20,513 --> 00:22:22,474
and not be a ghostwriter forever.

560
00:22:22,558 --> 00:22:24,259
Thank you.

561
00:22:24,343 --> 00:22:26,345
What's the deal with Bella?

562
00:22:28,042 --> 00:22:29,829
Oh, uh, she sent her apologies,

563
00:22:29,913 --> 00:22:32,176
but her dog was sick, and then got better,

564
00:22:32,263 --> 00:22:34,962
and then got adopted,
so she had to deal with that.

565
00:22:35,049 --> 00:22:37,663
But it all--
it all ended up working out.

566
00:22:37,747 --> 00:22:39,709
I told Brittany at
City Hall this afternoon.

567
00:22:39,793 --> 00:22:41,450
Well, she must have forgotten to
tell me because, in ten minutes,

568
00:22:41,534 --> 00:22:43,234
I'm emceeing this thing

569
00:22:43,318 --> 00:22:44,757
and I haven't even
started my vocal warm-ups.

570
00:22:44,841 --> 00:22:46,672
I'm sure your elocution will be spot on.

571
00:22:46,756 --> 00:22:48,413
I'm sorry, I shouldn't have...

572
00:22:48,497 --> 00:22:50,763
Well, obviously,
we need someone to perform,

573
00:22:50,847 --> 00:22:52,112
and that's gonna be you.

574
00:22:52,196 --> 00:22:53,592
Me?

575
00:22:53,676 --> 00:22:54,898
No. No, no, no, no, no.

576
00:22:54,982 --> 00:22:57,422
I'm a nobody. No.

577
00:22:57,506 --> 00:22:58,815
Well, that's what I told them,
but my hands are tied.

578
00:22:58,899 --> 00:23:01,818
They're your jokes.
Do it for Christmas.

579
00:23:01,902 --> 00:23:04,037
No, they won't be the same.
I don't have Bella's delivery.

580
00:23:04,121 --> 00:23:06,692
I... I haven't done my
vocal warm-ups either, so...

581
00:23:06,776 --> 00:23:08,735
You can do it.

582
00:23:08,822 --> 00:23:10,563
Yeah, well, whether you can
or can't, it's happening.

583
00:23:10,650 --> 00:23:12,132
You're on in two minutes.

584
00:23:12,216 --> 00:23:13,873
Two minutes.

585
00:23:13,957 --> 00:23:17,660
I think I'm gonna throw up.

586
00:23:17,744 --> 00:23:19,531
I'll go do sound check.
You got this.

587
00:23:19,615 --> 00:23:21,098
Yeah. Okay.

588
00:23:21,182 --> 00:23:22,923
Ooh... Okay.
Yeah, so, I'm gonna do it.

589
00:23:25,229 --> 00:23:27,191
Psst. Hey, it's Mike.

590
00:23:27,275 --> 00:23:28,627
Yeah, I know.

591
00:23:28,711 --> 00:23:30,844
Mike Baxter.

592
00:23:30,974 --> 00:23:33,194
Do I not look incognito?

593
00:23:33,281 --> 00:23:35,892
No, you look like Mike Baxter
but in sunglasses.

594
00:23:37,633 --> 00:23:39,113
Where's Bella?
Isn't she about to go on?

595
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:40,987
I'm filling in.
It's a whole thing.

596
00:23:41,071 --> 00:23:43,120
- Great!
- No! No, no.

597
00:23:43,204 --> 00:23:45,424
It's not great.
Nobody knows who I am.

598
00:23:46,903 --> 00:23:49,515
Now, nobody knows who you are.

599
00:23:49,645 --> 00:23:52,782
Now, I'm just the same nobody
but in sunglasses.

600
00:23:52,866 --> 00:23:55,437
Look, you're gonna be--
you're gonna be great. Okay?

601
00:23:55,521 --> 00:23:58,178
Just go out there
and have some fun with it.

602
00:23:58,262 --> 00:24:00,003
They'll know you the next time.

603
00:24:00,090 --> 00:24:01,788
Please welcome to the stage...

604
00:24:01,875 --> 00:24:03,532
- Oh, no.
- Okay, no, no, no.

605
00:24:03,616 --> 00:24:05,618
You're not going anywhere.
You got this.

606
00:24:05,705 --> 00:24:07,492
- Okay.
- Okay, you got this.

607
00:24:07,576 --> 00:24:10,713
...from our beloved Comedy Club,
Aubri Wilson.

608
00:24:13,974 --> 00:24:16,150
Good luck up here.
They wouldn't give me an inch.

609
00:24:16,237 --> 00:24:18,373
- Okay.
- That's my time.

610
00:24:20,284 --> 00:24:22,246
Hello.
Merry Christmas, everybody.

611
00:24:23,897 --> 00:24:26,334
Oh, I forgot to move this out of the way.

612
00:24:28,989 --> 00:24:31,429
- Ardenville, merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.

613
00:24:31,513 --> 00:24:33,170
As Robert said, I do,

614
00:24:33,254 --> 00:24:35,520
in fact, work for
the historic Comedy Club.

615
00:24:35,604 --> 00:24:37,693
You all look a little confused,
and you know what?

616
00:24:37,780 --> 00:24:39,434
I am just as confused as you are.

617
00:24:39,521 --> 00:24:40,870
Yeah, the more observant

618
00:24:40,957 --> 00:24:42,266
in the audience may have noticed,

619
00:24:42,350 --> 00:24:44,439
I am not, in fact,
Bella Deldomino.

620
00:24:44,526 --> 00:24:46,401
Was it my bouncy,

621
00:24:46,485 --> 00:24:47,663
radiant skin that gave it away?

622
00:24:47,747 --> 00:24:50,927
- What?
- No?

623
00:24:51,011 --> 00:24:54,147
Uh, well, can we give it up
for the Comedy Club?

624
00:24:54,231 --> 00:24:55,801
Yeah!

625
00:24:55,885 --> 00:24:59,239
Yeah, yeah, I've been
there for about five years,

626
00:24:59,323 --> 00:25:00,937
performing duties as,
to quote my business cards,

627
00:25:01,021 --> 00:25:04,070
"crypt keeper".

628
00:25:04,154 --> 00:25:07,944
Our hallowed halls are lined
with photographs of famous,

629
00:25:08,028 --> 00:25:10,947
legendary comedians who have
graced our stage over the years.

630
00:25:11,031 --> 00:25:12,992
They are icons,

631
00:25:13,076 --> 00:25:15,255
the real who's who of Hollywood,

632
00:25:15,339 --> 00:25:18,342
as in, "Uh, who's that again?"

633
00:25:19,474 --> 00:25:21,955
Um... Well,

634
00:25:22,042 --> 00:25:24,613
does anybody have someone in their life

635
00:25:24,697 --> 00:25:26,786
that is just impossible
to buy presents for?

636
00:25:26,873 --> 00:25:29,484
- Bella! Bella! Bella!
- Uh, anyone?

637
00:25:29,571 --> 00:25:33,140
Bella! Bella! Bella!

638
00:25:33,227 --> 00:25:35,624
See, my mother,

639
00:25:35,708 --> 00:25:38,975
she's is one of those people.
Oh, I love my mother, but--

640
00:25:39,059 --> 00:25:41,760
Bella! Bella! Bella!

641
00:25:41,844 --> 00:25:43,980
Oh!

642
00:25:44,064 --> 00:25:45,285
Uh, Mike Baxter, what are you doing here?

643
00:25:47,894 --> 00:25:49,507
Mike Baxter!

644
00:25:49,591 --> 00:25:51,332
Hi there.
I was just enjoying your set,

645
00:25:51,419 --> 00:25:54,164
and it suddenly occurred to me

646
00:25:54,248 --> 00:25:55,815
that I'm pretty sure my picture

647
00:25:55,902 --> 00:25:57,559
is hanging on
the walls of the Comedy Club.

648
00:25:57,643 --> 00:25:58,821
No, no, no, no, no.
Oh, allow me to clarify.

649
00:25:58,905 --> 00:26:00,562
Yes, please, please clarify.

650
00:26:00,646 --> 00:26:02,735
My earlier joke bore no
relevance to the defendant.

651
00:26:02,822 --> 00:26:04,391
No, no, no! Not a defendant.

652
00:26:04,475 --> 00:26:05,958
- No, no. No.
- A different word.

653
00:26:06,042 --> 00:26:07,435
The all-around innocent...

654
00:26:07,522 --> 00:26:08,610
Innocent!
We like that much better.

655
00:26:08,697 --> 00:26:09,959
Michael...

656
00:26:10,090 --> 00:26:11,311
Baxter!

657
00:26:14,790 --> 00:26:16,665
You can get off my stage now.

658
00:26:20,143 --> 00:26:23,019
And don't forget, tickets are
on sale for the Variety Show

659
00:26:23,103 --> 00:26:24,670
Christmas Eve at the Comedy Club.

660
00:26:28,717 --> 00:26:30,766
You really saved me up there.

661
00:26:30,850 --> 00:26:32,115
Oh, come on. It's just tough
to deal with hecklers.

662
00:26:32,199 --> 00:26:33,812
But that was great.
That was fun, right?

663
00:26:33,896 --> 00:26:35,988
- It was fun.
- That was incredible.

664
00:26:36,072 --> 00:26:38,774
I was so scared you were going
to bomb, I almost passed out.

665
00:26:38,858 --> 00:26:41,425
Mike, this is Ian,
my very supportive cousin,

666
00:26:41,512 --> 00:26:43,340
who always believes in me.

667
00:26:43,427 --> 00:26:45,345
I'm such a big fan,

668
00:26:45,429 --> 00:26:46,521
especially of your recent work.

669
00:26:46,605 --> 00:26:48,087
Oh.

670
00:26:48,171 --> 00:26:49,741
That scene where you forgave yourself

671
00:26:49,825 --> 00:26:53,002
for not forgiving your son
for never forgiving you,

672
00:26:53,089 --> 00:26:55,309
I felt that.

673
00:26:57,093 --> 00:26:59,795
Well, he's a liar, but I like him.

674
00:26:59,879 --> 00:27:03,320
Oma Wenders on the house,
sponsors of the event.

675
00:27:03,404 --> 00:27:05,931
And Mr. Baxter, I'm really
hoping we see you and Belle

676
00:27:06,015 --> 00:27:07,933
at some of our other holiday events.

677
00:27:08,017 --> 00:27:09,500
Sure, count me in, anything Christmas.

678
00:27:09,584 --> 00:27:11,197
This is gonna be the best

679
00:27:11,281 --> 00:27:13,417
Christmas Fest
Ardenville has ever seen.

680
00:27:13,501 --> 00:27:15,114
It's time for the tree lighting!

681
00:27:15,198 --> 00:27:16,722
Oh, we're missing the--
the switch getting flipped.

682
00:27:16,809 --> 00:27:18,727
Okay!

683
00:27:18,811 --> 00:27:20,943
Ten, nine, eight...

684
00:27:21,030 --> 00:27:22,165
Come on, come on, come on!

685
00:27:22,249 --> 00:27:23,732
...six, five,

686
00:27:23,816 --> 00:27:26,557
four, three, two, one!

687
00:27:38,178 --> 00:27:40,183
Oh, my God!
What is this?

688
00:27:40,267 --> 00:27:41,967
Oma Wenders.

689
00:27:42,051 --> 00:27:43,183
It'll get easier the more you drink.

690
00:27:43,270 --> 00:27:44,837
Oh, spicy!

691
00:27:46,229 --> 00:27:49,102
Oh, it burns.
I like it now.

692
00:27:51,191 --> 00:27:53,283
Just take out those two words there.

693
00:27:53,367 --> 00:27:56,112
Oh, I heard you and Mike were quite a hit

694
00:27:56,196 --> 00:27:59,028
at the Christmas tree lighting ceremony.

695
00:27:59,112 --> 00:28:02,031
You know, it's hard for me
to picture you on stage.

696
00:28:02,115 --> 00:28:04,555
It's really not in your wheelhouse, is it?

697
00:28:04,639 --> 00:28:06,513
We had to promote the variety show.

698
00:28:06,597 --> 00:28:08,907
Yeah, the ticket sales haven't been great.

699
00:28:08,991 --> 00:28:12,125
You were lucky to have
some star power with you.

700
00:28:12,212 --> 00:28:14,130
How did it work?

701
00:28:14,214 --> 00:28:18,134
Well, we sold more tickets,
and acts are calling us now,

702
00:28:18,218 --> 00:28:19,959
which means we can finally hold auditions.

703
00:28:20,046 --> 00:28:22,660
No, I mean, how did it work,
your performance?

704
00:28:22,744 --> 00:28:26,272
You know, I mean, your
writing skills are stellar.

705
00:28:26,356 --> 00:28:29,188
But sometimes, stage work,

706
00:28:29,272 --> 00:28:32,536
it requires a more...
commanding presence.

707
00:28:32,623 --> 00:28:36,453
Well, Mike had enough
presence for the both of us.

708
00:28:36,540 --> 00:28:39,068
Oh, well, I'm happy
that it went well for you.

709
00:28:39,152 --> 00:28:40,983
But you know, it could
just be beginner's luck.

710
00:28:41,067 --> 00:28:44,073
So, you don't want to get
too overconfident about it.

711
00:28:44,157 --> 00:28:46,681
I mean, you're used to
seeing me kill on stage,

712
00:28:46,768 --> 00:28:49,902
so you might forget
how embarrassing it could be

713
00:28:49,989 --> 00:28:51,863
if the whole thing fell flat.

714
00:28:51,947 --> 00:28:53,601
Well, you can dazzle audiences

715
00:28:53,688 --> 00:28:55,214
in the Christmas Village walk-through.

716
00:28:55,298 --> 00:28:56,517
Ehh. No.

717
00:28:56,604 --> 00:28:58,737
Where's the drama?

718
00:28:59,868 --> 00:29:01,133
It's too pedestrian.

719
00:29:01,217 --> 00:29:02,961
No, you're not walking.

720
00:29:03,045 --> 00:29:04,441
You're interacting with
people as they walk through.

721
00:29:04,525 --> 00:29:06,269
And from what I'm told,

722
00:29:06,353 --> 00:29:09,272
you are playing a
significant Christmas legend.

723
00:29:09,356 --> 00:29:11,927
Oh, that sounds more like it:
Bella Deldomino,

724
00:29:12,011 --> 00:29:13,189
Christmas legend.

725
00:29:13,273 --> 00:29:15,191
There you go.

726
00:29:15,275 --> 00:29:17,019
You're going to come with me, right?

727
00:29:17,103 --> 00:29:18,324
Because, I mean, in case
I need to change the script,

728
00:29:18,408 --> 00:29:20,628
I mean, I need you there.

729
00:29:20,715 --> 00:29:22,241
Of course, I will be there, as always.

730
00:29:22,325 --> 00:29:23,895
But you are a guest
on a podcast next week,

731
00:29:23,979 --> 00:29:25,851
so let's focus on that next, okay?

732
00:29:28,636 --> 00:29:31,729
♪ Christmas liqueurs...

733
00:29:31,813 --> 00:29:33,989
Writing away?

734
00:29:34,076 --> 00:29:35,515
Reminds me of when you were a kid,

735
00:29:35,599 --> 00:29:36,734
always lost in your notebook.

736
00:29:36,818 --> 00:29:38,298
Well, except
I'm not getting grounded

737
00:29:38,385 --> 00:29:40,042
for ignoring my homework.

738
00:29:40,126 --> 00:29:42,566
I haven't felt this
creative in a really long time.

739
00:29:42,650 --> 00:29:44,217
Well, I made you some mint tea

740
00:29:44,304 --> 00:29:45,740
for helping me bring the girls to school.

741
00:29:45,827 --> 00:29:47,702
Oh, thank you.

742
00:29:47,786 --> 00:29:50,574
Wait, school? I could have
sworn you said "racetrack".

743
00:29:50,658 --> 00:29:53,272
I really appreciate you

744
00:29:53,356 --> 00:29:54,491
for letting me crash at your place.

745
00:29:54,575 --> 00:29:55,840
We love having you.

746
00:29:55,924 --> 00:29:57,534
I mean, I wish you could have

747
00:29:57,621 --> 00:30:00,671
stayed with us last year,
you and... Jessica.

748
00:30:00,755 --> 00:30:04,283
She's left me for some football player,

749
00:30:04,367 --> 00:30:06,633
then left him when his team
lost in the playoffs.

750
00:30:06,717 --> 00:30:08,766
I think she has commitment issues.

751
00:30:08,850 --> 00:30:10,463
Hmm.
That's one way to put it.

752
00:30:10,547 --> 00:30:12,030
Well, she would have never stayed.

753
00:30:12,114 --> 00:30:13,292
That bed is awful.

754
00:30:13,376 --> 00:30:15,814
You said you slept well.

755
00:30:15,901 --> 00:30:18,558
I did,
I said that, but I lied.

756
00:30:18,642 --> 00:30:22,214
But hanging with family is
worth the kink in my neck...

757
00:30:22,298 --> 00:30:24,521
and the nagging in my ear.

758
00:30:24,605 --> 00:30:26,955
Yeah, well, just think,
if you had a family of your own,

759
00:30:27,042 --> 00:30:28,652
you'd be able to experience this
kind of torture every day.

760
00:30:28,739 --> 00:30:30,785
I do want a family someday.

761
00:30:30,916 --> 00:30:33,182
It just hasn't been right.

762
00:30:33,266 --> 00:30:34,789
- I have time.
- Mm-hmm.

763
00:30:36,835 --> 00:30:38,404
Sorry.

764
00:30:38,488 --> 00:30:39,841
- One sec.
- Mm-hmm.

765
00:30:39,925 --> 00:30:41,756
Hey, Damon.

766
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,323
Is he on or isn't he?
Brandon, is he on?

767
00:30:44,407 --> 00:30:46,325
He's here. Hi, Damon.

768
00:30:46,409 --> 00:30:49,024
Mikey, my favorite client.
Sorry about that.

769
00:30:49,108 --> 00:30:50,416
I had this new assistant forwarding calls

770
00:30:50,500 --> 00:30:52,331
and it's just been a mess.

771
00:30:52,415 --> 00:30:54,504
Right. You know, you could try
being a little more gentle.

772
00:30:54,591 --> 00:30:56,161
What are you, my last assistant?

773
00:30:56,245 --> 00:30:58,033
Listen, okay?
I'm calling to let you know

774
00:30:58,117 --> 00:30:59,208
that things are going
well with Rooster, okay?

775
00:30:59,292 --> 00:31:00,426
We have an offer?

776
00:31:00,510 --> 00:31:01,993
Well, not an offer per se,

777
00:31:02,077 --> 00:31:03,862
but they do want you to come back in

778
00:31:03,949 --> 00:31:05,388
and read with the guy with
ho's doing the voice for--

779
00:31:05,472 --> 00:31:07,651
what's the name of
that talking cow again? Um...

780
00:31:07,735 --> 00:31:09,128
Agent Bo Vine.

781
00:31:09,215 --> 00:31:11,002
Yes, that's the one.

782
00:31:11,086 --> 00:31:12,958
By the way, they're going crazy

783
00:31:13,045 --> 00:31:14,440
for your Christmas set
that you did with that woman.

784
00:31:14,524 --> 00:31:16,442
They were thinking about rewriting

785
00:31:16,526 --> 00:31:18,053
the cow and Rooster relationship

786
00:31:18,137 --> 00:31:19,184
to have the same banter,
you know what I mean?

787
00:31:19,268 --> 00:31:20,443
They saw that?

788
00:31:20,530 --> 00:31:22,144
Everyone's seen it.

789
00:31:22,228 --> 00:31:23,620
How is it possible that my own mother

790
00:31:23,751 --> 00:31:25,016
knows more about social media than you do?

791
00:31:25,100 --> 00:31:26,148
Well your mother doesn't get death threats

792
00:31:26,232 --> 00:31:27,668
from teenage comic book fans.

793
00:31:27,755 --> 00:31:29,194
Keep up the appearances, okay?

794
00:31:29,278 --> 00:31:30,979
And we need more
viral moments to keep going,

795
00:31:31,063 --> 00:31:32,850
so that the studio cannot say no.

796
00:31:32,934 --> 00:31:34,631
You know, there was a time

797
00:31:34,718 --> 00:31:36,546
when an actor could
just give a good audition.

798
00:31:36,633 --> 00:31:38,769
Well, when you see that actor,
tell him I said good morrow.

799
00:31:38,853 --> 00:31:40,681
Until then, let's keep
the viral moments coming, okay?

800
00:31:40,768 --> 00:31:42,726
Viral moments...

801
00:31:42,813 --> 00:31:44,775
You look amazing up there.
Your body's looking better.

802
00:31:44,859 --> 00:31:46,472
But you know,
Rooster's a superhero.

803
00:31:46,556 --> 00:31:47,993
You know what I mean?

804
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,128
- Goodbye, Damon.
- No, no, no, listen.

805
00:31:50,212 --> 00:31:52,214
I'm just saying the carbs
at the dinner on Christmas--

806
00:31:55,261 --> 00:31:58,264
The studio loved me at the tree lighting.

807
00:31:58,351 --> 00:32:01,836
Apparently, I'm one step
closer to getting the part.

808
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:03,794
You don't seem excited.

809
00:32:03,878 --> 00:32:06,144
No, I am.

810
00:32:06,228 --> 00:32:09,321
I am. It's just...

811
00:32:09,405 --> 00:32:13,021
...being back made me remember
how much I love stand-up,

812
00:32:13,105 --> 00:32:15,588
being on stage,
being in front of an audience.

813
00:32:15,672 --> 00:32:18,983
You don't have to be
a superhero to be successful.

814
00:32:19,067 --> 00:32:21,029
I have to raise my profile.

815
00:32:21,113 --> 00:32:23,463
I took a big hit with those indies.

816
00:32:23,550 --> 00:32:26,074
Any lower and I'll be going out
for the voice of Agent Bo Vine.

817
00:32:26,161 --> 00:32:30,644
Look, things are good.
Everything is good.

818
00:32:32,254 --> 00:32:34,477
Good.

819
00:32:42,612 --> 00:32:46,402
Bella, it's almost show time.

820
00:32:46,486 --> 00:32:48,447
You're going to have to tell them

821
00:32:48,531 --> 00:32:51,015
that I've got an emergency
with my dog or something.

822
00:32:51,099 --> 00:32:53,017
Nope, I've already
used that one. You're stuck.

823
00:32:53,101 --> 00:32:55,756
Now, please, just come on out already.

824
00:32:55,843 --> 00:32:57,761
Look at this sack.

825
00:32:57,845 --> 00:33:00,239
When you said a Christmas legend,

826
00:33:00,326 --> 00:33:03,288
I imagined somebody much more glamorous,

827
00:33:03,372 --> 00:33:04,724
not Santa's stay-at-home hag.

828
00:33:04,808 --> 00:33:06,465
Oh, no. No.

829
00:33:06,549 --> 00:33:10,556
No. Mrs. Claus is a business owner.

830
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,992
I mean, without her, the entire
operation just falls apart.

831
00:33:14,079 --> 00:33:15,910
I mean, she, she is strong

832
00:33:15,994 --> 00:33:20,302
and she is independent.

833
00:33:20,389 --> 00:33:21,959
She's probably rich, too, right?

834
00:33:22,043 --> 00:33:24,611
- Oh, yeah.
- Oh.

835
00:33:24,698 --> 00:33:27,051
You sure couldn't tell
from the horrible shoes.

836
00:33:27,135 --> 00:33:29,314
Where is my husband?

837
00:33:29,398 --> 00:33:32,706
Actually, I don't know,
but he better show up soon.

838
00:33:34,664 --> 00:33:36,060
What is that noise?

839
00:33:36,144 --> 00:33:38,190
Those are children, Bella.

840
00:33:41,410 --> 00:33:43,372
Uh...
Robert is playing Santa

841
00:33:43,456 --> 00:33:44,808
and he just texted that
he's caught in traffic.

842
00:33:44,892 --> 00:33:46,288
So, we're going to have to do without him.

843
00:33:46,372 --> 00:33:47,506
No. No.

844
00:33:47,590 --> 00:33:48,635
Yes. Yes.

845
00:33:48,722 --> 00:33:49,900
No, not alone.

846
00:33:49,984 --> 00:33:52,468
You go, get a costume

847
00:33:52,552 --> 00:33:53,730
or change into something less drab.

848
00:33:53,814 --> 00:33:55,471
You want me?

849
00:33:55,555 --> 00:33:57,777
We are going to do this together.

850
00:33:57,861 --> 00:33:59,736
Aubri, don't you think that

851
00:33:59,820 --> 00:34:02,217
if Mrs. Claus liked children,
she would have had some by now?

852
00:34:02,301 --> 00:34:06,827
Uh...

853
00:34:06,914 --> 00:34:10,918
Excuse me.
Where did you get that costume?

854
00:34:13,094 --> 00:34:15,662
Okay, how excited are we to see Santa?

855
00:34:15,749 --> 00:34:17,794
Very excited.

856
00:34:17,881 --> 00:34:20,626
Oh!
Hey, Robert,

857
00:34:20,710 --> 00:34:21,929
I'll call you right back.

858
00:34:22,016 --> 00:34:23,847
- Hi.
- Mike, what are you doing here?

859
00:34:23,931 --> 00:34:26,676
I brought my sister
and her girls to see Santa.

860
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:28,373
This is Olivia, this is Gabrielle.

861
00:34:28,457 --> 00:34:31,025
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you, too.

862
00:34:31,156 --> 00:34:33,117
- How's it going?
- Good.

863
00:34:33,201 --> 00:34:36,338
Well, our Santa's having a bit
of a panic attack on the I-94,

864
00:34:36,422 --> 00:34:37,684
and the kids are lining up,
and Bella's the only one there.

865
00:34:37,771 --> 00:34:38,993
This is an emergency.

866
00:34:39,077 --> 00:34:40,472
Yeah, it's been quite the morning

867
00:34:40,556 --> 00:34:42,257
and I don't know what to do.

868
00:34:42,341 --> 00:34:44,346
I mean, I can't make the kids
wait any longer, so...

869
00:34:44,430 --> 00:34:46,522
What?

870
00:34:46,606 --> 00:34:47,784
Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

871
00:34:47,868 --> 00:34:51,440
- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.

872
00:34:51,524 --> 00:34:52,876
- Oh, no, no, no.
- It'll be great.

873
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:53,961
- I don't think so.
- Mike...

874
00:34:58,922 --> 00:35:00,144
Bella!

875
00:35:00,228 --> 00:35:01,621
Good news, we have a...

876
00:35:05,059 --> 00:35:06,626
What is this?

877
00:35:08,584 --> 00:35:13,027
Mrs. Claus has turned
into a magnificent angel.

878
00:35:13,111 --> 00:35:15,072
That's dark, don't you think?

879
00:35:15,156 --> 00:35:17,770
Mike?

880
00:35:17,854 --> 00:35:20,034
You can't be here, Mike.
This is my thing.

881
00:35:20,118 --> 00:35:23,251
We have to have Mrs. Claus.

882
00:35:23,338 --> 00:35:26,127
She hands out cookies.
Angels, they can't bake.

883
00:35:26,211 --> 00:35:28,996
Angel cookies?
Angel food cake?

884
00:35:30,563 --> 00:35:32,350
Angel cookies--
No, no, no.

885
00:35:32,434 --> 00:35:35,527
The kids, they're out there and
they're expecting Mrs. Claus,

886
00:35:35,611 --> 00:35:37,703
and there's feathers everywhere.

887
00:35:37,787 --> 00:35:40,054
Bella, this is not gonna work
and we are late already.

888
00:35:40,138 --> 00:35:42,186
If you are so concerned

889
00:35:42,270 --> 00:35:44,536
about those so-called "kids",
you wear the sack.

890
00:35:44,620 --> 00:35:46,147
Yeah, you put on the sack.

891
00:35:46,231 --> 00:35:49,059
And look, I knew this
was going to be perfect.

892
00:35:49,147 --> 00:35:50,629
- Oh...
- The gray!

893
00:35:50,713 --> 00:35:52,150
- Really looks so good on you.
- Oh, yeah?

894
00:35:54,326 --> 00:35:58,463
I mean, doesn't this
make a lot more sense?

895
00:35:58,547 --> 00:35:59,766
Children.

896
00:35:59,853 --> 00:36:01,249
Mm-hmm.

897
00:36:01,333 --> 00:36:02,598
Oh!

898
00:36:02,682 --> 00:36:05,775
Well, Merry Christmas, children.

899
00:36:05,859 --> 00:36:09,257
Come and say hello
to Santa and Mrs. Claus.

900
00:36:09,341 --> 00:36:12,779
Ho, ho, ho!

901
00:36:12,866 --> 00:36:14,131
Welcome to my village!

902
00:36:16,304 --> 00:36:18,440
Welcome to my village!

903
00:36:18,524 --> 00:36:22,357
Mrs. Claus has been baking
cookies all day for you!

904
00:36:22,441 --> 00:36:25,574
All right, all right, you sugar plums.

905
00:36:25,661 --> 00:36:27,971
If you can just form a single line...

906
00:36:28,055 --> 00:36:30,843
and Santa will hear
all your Christmas requests.

907
00:36:30,927 --> 00:36:32,454
I forgot to mention,

908
00:36:32,538 --> 00:36:34,409
I don't have a lot
of experience with kids.

909
00:36:34,496 --> 00:36:36,240
Oh, you'll be fine.
They love Santa.

910
00:36:36,324 --> 00:36:39,156
Okay, okay, everybody!

911
00:36:39,240 --> 00:36:41,199
Take one cookie!

912
00:36:41,286 --> 00:36:43,244
Okay, two!
Two cookies!

913
00:36:43,331 --> 00:36:46,120
Okay, is there an elf that can help us?!

914
00:36:46,204 --> 00:36:48,902
Okay, three!
Everyone gets three!

915
00:36:48,989 --> 00:36:50,820
- Bella!
- Is there an elf back there?!

916
00:36:50,904 --> 00:36:52,126
I'm here!

917
00:36:52,210 --> 00:36:53,518
You've been bumped!

918
00:36:53,602 --> 00:36:55,390
You can't bump Santa!

919
00:36:55,474 --> 00:36:58,044
Oh, it happens, even to the best of us.

920
00:36:58,128 --> 00:37:01,091
Mike! Aubri!

921
00:37:01,175 --> 00:37:04,047
♪ Silent night
Shh...

922
00:37:04,134 --> 00:37:06,052
Okay.
♪ Holy night

923
00:37:06,136 --> 00:37:09,705
♪ All is calm

924
00:37:09,792 --> 00:37:11,623
We're being calm.

925
00:37:11,707 --> 00:37:14,931
♪ All is bright
But we're still having fun.

926
00:37:15,015 --> 00:37:16,367
♪ Round...

927
00:37:16,451 --> 00:37:19,933
Look!
You're under the mistletoe!

928
00:37:25,112 --> 00:37:26,160
I got some great videos of you today.

929
00:37:26,244 --> 00:37:28,118
You should post them.

930
00:37:28,202 --> 00:37:30,555
Maybe not the ones of you
weeping like a small child.

931
00:37:30,639 --> 00:37:32,467
All right, you know what?
You just witnessed a man

932
00:37:32,554 --> 00:37:35,209
getting trampled by
cookie-deprived children,

933
00:37:35,296 --> 00:37:36,776
and all you're doing
is trying to get views.

934
00:37:36,863 --> 00:37:38,386
Hey, you wanted to connect
with your audience more.

935
00:37:38,473 --> 00:37:40,086
This is the perfect way.

936
00:37:40,170 --> 00:37:41,740
A little less terror
would have been better.

937
00:37:41,824 --> 00:37:43,220
My agent thinks
it's helping with the studio.

938
00:37:43,304 --> 00:37:45,263
Yeah, I'm sure.

939
00:37:45,350 --> 00:37:46,963
You know, I think you should
show people the real you.

940
00:37:47,047 --> 00:37:50,227
The kids, they loved you.
You were a big hit.

941
00:37:50,311 --> 00:37:54,623
Yeah, well, Grandpa is pretty
bad with social media stuff.

942
00:37:54,707 --> 00:37:56,665
Will you help me?

943
00:37:56,752 --> 00:37:58,366
Yeah, of course.
And afterwards,

944
00:37:58,450 --> 00:38:00,150
maybe I can even teach you
about internet dial-up.

945
00:38:00,234 --> 00:38:01,975
What about tomorrow night?

946
00:38:02,062 --> 00:38:03,977
Caroline's?

947
00:38:04,064 --> 00:38:05,982
I hear they have a famous chocolate cake.

948
00:38:06,066 --> 00:38:08,024
All right, you know what?

949
00:38:08,111 --> 00:38:09,420
If you don't like chocolate cake,

950
00:38:09,504 --> 00:38:10,769
I'm going to go hang with the shepherds.

951
00:38:10,853 --> 00:38:12,423
It's just, we have an event this week

952
00:38:12,507 --> 00:38:14,120
and Bella needs new material, so...

953
00:38:14,204 --> 00:38:16,210
Well, if you want we could
work on jokes together.

954
00:38:16,294 --> 00:38:19,558
I was planning on dropping in
for open mic night, anyway.

955
00:38:19,645 --> 00:38:22,865
Yes, Bella would love it
if you went up. Yeah,

956
00:38:22,952 --> 00:38:24,740
Why don't you come on stage with me?

957
00:38:24,824 --> 00:38:26,872
- We'll do a set together.
- No.

958
00:38:26,956 --> 00:38:28,828
Come on, it'll be fun. You could
always do your own set.

959
00:38:28,915 --> 00:38:30,308
- Oh, no.
- It'll be fun.

960
00:38:30,395 --> 00:38:31,616
- No.
- All right. All right. I tried.

961
00:38:31,700 --> 00:38:33,139
I got to get back to my sister.

962
00:38:33,223 --> 00:38:37,315
I'll see you tomorrow night,
eight o'clock.

963
00:38:44,191 --> 00:38:46,501
Wow!

964
00:38:46,585 --> 00:38:49,199
- Who's the hot date?
- Uh, not a date.

965
00:38:49,283 --> 00:38:51,157
Okay? A work meeting.

966
00:38:51,241 --> 00:38:52,460
I'm helping Mike with social media

967
00:38:52,547 --> 00:38:53,769
and he's helping me with jokes.

968
00:38:53,853 --> 00:38:56,380
He's a very lucky work colleague.

969
00:38:56,464 --> 00:38:59,818
He doesn't see me like that.
Stars date other stars.

970
00:38:59,902 --> 00:39:01,429
Yeah, well, last time I checked,

971
00:39:01,513 --> 00:39:02,778
you're the funniest person I know.

972
00:39:02,862 --> 00:39:04,432
Then, wish me luck...
with work.

973
00:39:04,516 --> 00:39:06,303
- Uh-huh.
- With work.

974
00:39:06,387 --> 00:39:08,433
Good luck.

975
00:39:19,095 --> 00:39:20,839
Hi.

976
00:39:20,923 --> 00:39:22,493
Excuse me, is the table
a little more private?

977
00:39:22,577 --> 00:39:24,362
Thanks.

978
00:39:24,449 --> 00:39:26,799
Okay, bye.

979
00:39:28,191 --> 00:39:30,803
Thank you.

980
00:39:30,890 --> 00:39:33,765
Okay...

981
00:39:33,849 --> 00:39:36,246
- Thank you.
- Thank you.

982
00:39:36,330 --> 00:39:38,509
If my agent asks,
I ordered cottage cheese.

983
00:39:38,593 --> 00:39:40,334
Rooster?

984
00:39:40,421 --> 00:39:42,992
They want this version of me
that doesn't exist.

985
00:39:43,076 --> 00:39:44,646
Apparently, superheroes eat like monks.

986
00:39:44,730 --> 00:39:47,039
Okay, and what do you want?

987
00:39:47,123 --> 00:39:50,039
I want to enjoy my life
and make people happy.

988
00:39:50,126 --> 00:39:53,129
I got Saturday Sketch Club at 19
and for the first time,

989
00:39:53,216 --> 00:39:55,221
I was successful, but it felt like

990
00:39:55,305 --> 00:39:57,963
I needed to prove myself as a real actor.

991
00:39:58,047 --> 00:40:00,749
So, I started doing these
dramas, which all flopped,

992
00:40:00,833 --> 00:40:05,188
and then it felt like I needed
to be on top to be happy.

993
00:40:05,272 --> 00:40:09,363
Okay, so, the dramas flopped,
but why not go back to comedy?

994
00:40:09,450 --> 00:40:11,191
I love comedy,

995
00:40:11,278 --> 00:40:13,501
but I wanted to feel
in control of my life again.

996
00:40:13,585 --> 00:40:16,588
You know, failed relationships
and box office disasters.

997
00:40:16,675 --> 00:40:19,376
So, I took myself out of the
comedy game entirely,

998
00:40:19,460 --> 00:40:21,291
put myself in early retirement.

999
00:40:21,375 --> 00:40:23,337
Got myself a landline, and a walker,

1000
00:40:23,421 --> 00:40:25,208
and a whole bunch of hard candy.

1001
00:40:25,292 --> 00:40:27,428
Okay, well, to me, it seems like

1002
00:40:27,512 --> 00:40:29,343
you were afraid to fail at something

1003
00:40:29,427 --> 00:40:31,301
that was really important to you.

1004
00:40:31,385 --> 00:40:32,998
Well, right now all that's
important to me is carb-loading

1005
00:40:33,082 --> 00:40:34,652
before I need a six-pack.

1006
00:40:34,736 --> 00:40:36,088
Okay, you don't have to do that.

1007
00:40:36,172 --> 00:40:38,177
No, I do.
It's-- it's in my contract.

1008
00:40:38,261 --> 00:40:41,442
It's a contractual six-pack.

1009
00:40:41,526 --> 00:40:43,397
It's okay to be yourself, you know?

1010
00:40:43,484 --> 00:40:47,361
You don't have to prove anything to me.

1011
00:40:47,445 --> 00:40:49,621
Sometimes, it feels like

1012
00:40:49,708 --> 00:40:51,582
I need to prove to everyone

1013
00:40:51,666 --> 00:40:53,494
that I'm still that
19-year-old success story.

1014
00:40:53,581 --> 00:40:55,975
Is that why you're taking Rooster?

1015
00:40:56,062 --> 00:40:57,719
Because it seems to me
like you don't really want it.

1016
00:40:57,803 --> 00:40:59,460
I do.

1017
00:40:59,544 --> 00:41:01,331
It's the only way to come back on top.

1018
00:41:01,415 --> 00:41:03,942
I just want to make people smile again.

1019
00:41:04,026 --> 00:41:06,815
Well, for what it's worth,
you make me smile

1020
00:41:06,899 --> 00:41:10,340
without being star of
screen and stage Mike Baxter.

1021
00:41:10,424 --> 00:41:12,777
You're different.

1022
00:41:12,861 --> 00:41:16,299
I am talking so much.

1023
00:41:16,386 --> 00:41:20,132
Way too much. What about you?
What about your stage debut?

1024
00:41:20,216 --> 00:41:22,047
I mean, you've got that star quality.

1025
00:41:22,131 --> 00:41:23,350
Nobody can take their eyes off of you.

1026
00:41:25,134 --> 00:41:29,878
Is-is what everyone believes.

1027
00:41:29,965 --> 00:41:31,230
Not just me.

1028
00:41:31,314 --> 00:41:33,012
That's all I'm saying.

1029
00:41:35,101 --> 00:41:36,624
It's better for me off-stage, trust me.

1030
00:41:36,711 --> 00:41:38,150
Who told you that?

1031
00:41:38,234 --> 00:41:40,370
Everyone,

1032
00:41:40,454 --> 00:41:42,717
Bella, my mom, eighth-grade drama teacher.

1033
00:41:42,804 --> 00:41:45,593
No, to not even try, when you're
clearly as talented as you are,

1034
00:41:45,677 --> 00:41:46,985
it's absolutely crazy to me.

1035
00:41:47,069 --> 00:41:48,770
You owe it to yourself to try.

1036
00:41:48,854 --> 00:41:50,293
I have goals, I do.

1037
00:41:50,377 --> 00:41:52,643
My goal is to get in the writers room,

1038
00:41:52,727 --> 00:41:54,863
you know, write for stars like you.

1039
00:41:54,947 --> 00:41:57,996
Stars like me... Look, don't
waste your talent behind a desk.

1040
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,953
You should make this
Christmas mean something.

1041
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:03,828
It's the best time to follow your heart.

1042
00:42:03,912 --> 00:42:06,698
You might be surprised where it leads you.

1043
00:42:06,785 --> 00:42:09,747
Christmas has this way of giving
us exactly what we need.

1044
00:42:12,094 --> 00:42:15,579
- Bella.
- Hello, darling.

1045
00:42:15,663 --> 00:42:19,540
Thank you so much for fitting my
little show into your schedule.

1046
00:42:19,624 --> 00:42:21,585
Oh! Ha-ha!

1047
00:42:21,669 --> 00:42:25,807
Well, if having over a million
subscribers to a podcast

1048
00:42:25,891 --> 00:42:30,638
is little, then my fan base
is like a flea circus.

1049
00:42:30,722 --> 00:42:33,507
You must be so excited with
the Comedy Club going viral.

1050
00:42:33,638 --> 00:42:35,991
Oh, yes.
Well, Mike Baxter is performing.

1051
00:42:36,075 --> 00:42:37,993
Oh, it always makes us so happy

1052
00:42:38,077 --> 00:42:41,170
when our stars come back
home to their roots.

1053
00:42:41,254 --> 00:42:43,125
Absolutely.
Him and this new comic

1054
00:42:43,212 --> 00:42:46,044
are certainly causing a sensation,

1055
00:42:46,128 --> 00:42:47,350
oh, and promoting the Comedy Club.

1056
00:42:47,434 --> 00:42:49,395
New comic?

1057
00:42:49,479 --> 00:42:51,615
Yes, yes, yes.
Please tell me all about her.

1058
00:42:51,699 --> 00:42:53,225
I mean, breaking new talent

1059
00:42:53,309 --> 00:42:54,357
is part of the Comedy Club's legacy.

1060
00:42:54,441 --> 00:42:57,096
Uh-huh.

1061
00:42:58,967 --> 00:43:00,406
Huh?

1062
00:43:00,490 --> 00:43:01,840
Oh.

1063
00:43:01,927 --> 00:43:04,062
That's my assistant.

1064
00:43:04,146 --> 00:43:05,673
She has to get me coffee when I ask her.

1065
00:43:05,757 --> 00:43:09,067
Oh, well, that is so sweet of you

1066
00:43:09,151 --> 00:43:11,069
to give her a platform at Christmas.

1067
00:43:11,153 --> 00:43:13,463
She is clearly a rising talent.

1068
00:43:13,547 --> 00:43:15,288
May not be your assistant for long.

1069
00:43:23,383 --> 00:43:25,170
Aubri, say something into the mic quick.

1070
00:43:25,254 --> 00:43:26,865
Oh, hey, how was the podcast?

1071
00:43:26,952 --> 00:43:28,347
Well, good.

1072
00:43:28,431 --> 00:43:30,045
Insightful.

1073
00:43:30,129 --> 00:43:32,613
I had no idea that the club

1074
00:43:32,697 --> 00:43:35,050
was causing such a buzz on the internet.

1075
00:43:35,134 --> 00:43:36,788
Yeah, having Mike around helps a lot.

1076
00:43:36,875 --> 00:43:39,442
Yeah, of course it does.
He's a big star.

1077
00:43:39,529 --> 00:43:42,054
So, Aubri, how are tickets
going for the variety show?

1078
00:43:42,184 --> 00:43:46,278
Um, okay. I think as soon
as I secure a headliner,

1079
00:43:46,362 --> 00:43:48,846
then, uh, things should really pick up.

1080
00:43:48,930 --> 00:43:50,192
Yeah, it's tough, I know.

1081
00:43:50,279 --> 00:43:51,588
I'll tell you...

1082
00:43:51,672 --> 00:43:54,591
...I won't perform, but I will host.

1083
00:43:54,675 --> 00:43:57,420
Sure.

1084
00:43:57,504 --> 00:43:59,335
Yeah, I think everybody will love that.

1085
00:43:59,419 --> 00:44:01,903
I know they will.
Well, duty calls.

1086
00:44:01,987 --> 00:44:03,249
If the Christmas Fest needs me,

1087
00:44:03,336 --> 00:44:05,210
I'll be there.

1088
00:44:05,294 --> 00:44:06,908
Does this mean you'll be
attending other events?

1089
00:44:06,992 --> 00:44:08,605
What's next?

1090
00:44:08,689 --> 00:44:09,867
Twinkle Tunnel.

1091
00:44:09,951 --> 00:44:11,953
Ah. Is there an audience?

1092
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:13,741
No, it's a tunnel.

1093
00:44:13,825 --> 00:44:15,827
But there will be at the Snowball Social,

1094
00:44:15,914 --> 00:44:17,045
which is right afterwards.

1095
00:44:17,132 --> 00:44:18,612
Okay, you can count on me.

1096
00:44:18,699 --> 00:44:20,835
I'll be there with a costume on.

1097
00:44:20,919 --> 00:44:23,011
Now, Aubri, I don't want you
filling in for me

1098
00:44:23,095 --> 00:44:25,187
any longer, darling.

1099
00:44:25,271 --> 00:44:28,538
I can tell by the state of your
under eyes that you are working

1100
00:44:28,622 --> 00:44:30,279
way, way, way too hard.

1101
00:44:30,363 --> 00:44:33,195
Now, and I'll need new material.

1102
00:44:33,279 --> 00:44:35,411
For tonight?

1103
00:44:35,498 --> 00:44:38,287
That is what
I pay you for, isn't it?

1104
00:44:38,371 --> 00:44:39,723
Not to be prancing around on stage,

1105
00:44:39,807 --> 00:44:41,769
flirting with Mike Baxter.

1106
00:44:41,853 --> 00:44:44,856
Uh, yes, I will send you some
new stuff this afternoon.

1107
00:44:44,943 --> 00:44:47,641
Excellent.
See that you do.

1108
00:44:49,948 --> 00:44:53,737
Well, that was a sudden change of heart.

1109
00:44:53,821 --> 00:44:56,215
No, no, I've seen this before.
When her last husband remarried,

1110
00:44:56,302 --> 00:44:58,742
she made me send all these fake
rumors to tabloids and stuff.

1111
00:44:58,826 --> 00:45:01,832
She must think Mike's
performing at the variety show.

1112
00:45:01,916 --> 00:45:04,356
Oh, it's too late now.

1113
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:06,181
We've got some auditions to watch,

1114
00:45:06,268 --> 00:45:09,405
so I'm going to think about what
to do with that later.

1115
00:45:09,489 --> 00:45:11,189
I really think you should try and beatbox.

1116
00:45:11,273 --> 00:45:12,930
- I think you could do it.
- Oh, absolutely.

1117
00:45:13,014 --> 00:45:14,715
- Yeah, you could.
- Hey, guys.

1118
00:45:14,799 --> 00:45:16,235
Sorry, I'm late.
This is my sister Steph.

1119
00:45:16,322 --> 00:45:17,761
- Hi.
- Steph, this is Aubri.

1120
00:45:17,845 --> 00:45:19,502
- This is Ian.
- Nice to meet you.

1121
00:45:19,586 --> 00:45:21,109
Mike said you wouldn't mind if I watched.

1122
00:45:21,196 --> 00:45:22,458
I told her we were judging people,

1123
00:45:22,589 --> 00:45:24,202
and she forced me to bring her.

1124
00:45:24,286 --> 00:45:25,723
Not at all.
Please, take a seat.

1125
00:45:28,421 --> 00:45:29,683
Oh, wow.

1126
00:45:29,770 --> 00:45:31,511
I like the sweater.

1127
00:45:31,598 --> 00:45:32,863
- He's got a nice outfit.
- Thank you.

1128
00:45:32,947 --> 00:45:34,906
Aubri, I, uh--
I love you.

1129
00:45:37,647 --> 00:45:40,436
I really, really love you.

1130
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:44,089
I really appreciate you.

1131
00:45:48,223 --> 00:45:50,095
- Can I start again?
- Sure, you can try again.

1132
00:45:50,182 --> 00:45:52,361
Yeah, one more try.

1133
00:45:52,445 --> 00:45:54,450
Keep-- keep taking lessons.

1134
00:45:54,534 --> 00:45:56,887
This is theatre.

1135
00:45:56,971 --> 00:45:59,452
My name?
Meaningless.

1136
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:04,808
Oh, thank-- thank you.

1137
00:46:04,892 --> 00:46:07,071
I'm a poet.
The club.

1138
00:46:07,155 --> 00:46:10,550
Chicken club.
Turkey club.

1139
00:46:10,637 --> 00:46:12,773
Comedy club.

1140
00:46:12,857 --> 00:46:14,600
One, two, three. Christmas tree,

1141
00:46:14,684 --> 00:46:18,123
Aubri, you and me.

1142
00:46:19,777 --> 00:46:21,825
Oh! Oh!

1143
00:46:24,607 --> 00:46:25,786
- That's-- thank you.
- That's good.

1144
00:46:25,870 --> 00:46:27,132
Thank you.

1145
00:46:27,219 --> 00:46:29,398
It's okay.
I got one more.

1146
00:46:29,482 --> 00:46:32,401
You tell Luca to stay.

1147
00:46:32,485 --> 00:46:33,794
Luca's a method actor.

1148
00:46:33,878 --> 00:46:35,140
Oh, no, no.

1149
00:46:35,227 --> 00:46:36,274
It's gonna be okay.

1150
00:46:41,363 --> 00:46:42,890
Nice. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1151
00:46:42,974 --> 00:46:45,370
I loved the juggler.

1152
00:46:45,454 --> 00:46:48,025
The juggler might have been
my favorite, actually.

1153
00:46:48,109 --> 00:46:49,371
Thank you guys for letting me

1154
00:46:49,458 --> 00:46:51,550
put my judgmental skills to good use.

1155
00:46:51,634 --> 00:46:53,596
Let me know if you want tickets.

1156
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:55,946
Oh, I would, but my husband
gets home on Christmas Eve,

1157
00:46:56,030 --> 00:46:59,120
and we have this tradition
of dinner and movies,

1158
00:46:59,207 --> 00:47:00,734
by which I mean takeout

1159
00:47:00,818 --> 00:47:02,471
and fighting over what movie to watch.

1160
00:47:02,558 --> 00:47:05,126
I guess most people are
staying home on Christmas Eve

1161
00:47:05,213 --> 00:47:06,522
instead of buying tickets, so...

1162
00:47:06,606 --> 00:47:08,306
You'll get your audience.

1163
00:47:08,390 --> 00:47:11,222
Yeah, hopefully, we will,
with these new acts.

1164
00:47:11,306 --> 00:47:13,224
Anyway, we should get back.
It's open mic night.

1165
00:47:13,308 --> 00:47:15,702
Good. I'll see you tonight.

1166
00:47:15,833 --> 00:47:17,968
Really?

1167
00:47:18,052 --> 00:47:21,186
Yeah, but keep it a secret.
I want an unsuspecting audience.

1168
00:47:23,101 --> 00:47:25,976
- See you tonight.
- See ya.

1169
00:47:32,675 --> 00:47:35,113
At Christmas, dads hold court.

1170
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:36,682
We're the ones who have
a direct line to Santa.

1171
00:47:36,766 --> 00:47:38,467
Like, kids must laugh at our jokes, right?

1172
00:47:38,551 --> 00:47:42,036
Who's never hungry at Christmas?

1173
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:43,124
I don't know.

1174
00:47:43,208 --> 00:47:45,340
Turkey!

1175
00:47:45,427 --> 00:47:47,955
- Because he's always stuffed.
- Oh, come on.

1176
00:47:48,039 --> 00:47:50,305
Oh, come on. Remember
who's got the line to Santa.

1177
00:47:50,389 --> 00:47:51,741
Please, please, be nice, folks.

1178
00:47:51,825 --> 00:47:55,136
By the way, my name is Jeremy.

1179
00:47:55,220 --> 00:47:57,355
Oh, open mic is tough.

1180
00:47:57,439 --> 00:48:00,007
Dying is easy, comedy is hard.

1181
00:48:00,094 --> 00:48:02,140
That's why I always
stay behind the scenes.

1182
00:48:02,227 --> 00:48:04,362
Okay!

1183
00:48:04,446 --> 00:48:07,496
Let's all give it up for Jeremy!

1184
00:48:07,580 --> 00:48:10,107
Jeremy!

1185
00:48:11,540 --> 00:48:14,329
Good for you, Jeremy.

1186
00:48:14,413 --> 00:48:16,850
Okay, settle back, have a drink.

1187
00:48:16,937 --> 00:48:19,374
Our next comic will be
coming up in a minute.

1188
00:48:20,767 --> 00:48:22,380
Hey, how's the audience tonight?

1189
00:48:22,464 --> 00:48:23,642
Ooh, somewhere between
gazpacho and room temp.

1190
00:48:23,726 --> 00:48:26,297
Right where I like them.

1191
00:48:26,381 --> 00:48:27,951
You're not nervous?

1192
00:48:28,035 --> 00:48:29,950
I mean, this is your first
stand-up in years.

1193
00:48:30,037 --> 00:48:31,825
I'm excited.

1194
00:48:31,909 --> 00:48:33,649
I just hope they remember who I am.

1195
00:48:33,736 --> 00:48:34,958
Or at least forget my last movie.

1196
00:48:35,042 --> 00:48:36,742
They'll love you.

1197
00:48:36,826 --> 00:48:39,351
Why don't you go up there
and shine, super star?

1198
00:48:39,438 --> 00:48:43,010
All right, pretend to
laugh no matter what.

1199
00:48:46,532 --> 00:48:47,794
- Testing.
- Whoo!

1200
00:48:47,881 --> 00:48:49,665
Can we get some lights, please?

1201
00:48:51,929 --> 00:48:54,238
Stop it. Thank you. Thank you.
You're very kind.

1202
00:48:54,322 --> 00:48:55,849
Please, stop.

1203
00:48:55,933 --> 00:48:58,112
All right, keep it going, keep it going.

1204
00:48:58,196 --> 00:49:01,158
So, Christmas,
people talk about the parties,

1205
00:49:01,242 --> 00:49:03,160
the presents, the food.

1206
00:49:03,244 --> 00:49:05,420
But nobody talks about...

1239
00:50:46,260 --> 00:50:47,308
Thank you for helping me with that.

1240
00:50:49,394 --> 00:50:51,657
Well!

1241
00:50:51,744 --> 00:50:55,272
Wasn't that a triumphant
return to our stage?

1242
00:50:55,356 --> 00:50:58,011
Mr. Mike Baxter!

1243
00:50:58,098 --> 00:51:00,927
- Mike, what's new?
- Hey, I just got off stage.

1244
00:51:01,014 --> 00:51:03,846
Oh, man!
It felt so good to be back.

1245
00:51:03,930 --> 00:51:05,587
Excellent.
I'm actually on my way

1246
00:51:05,671 --> 00:51:06,976
to a Christmas party tonight,
but I wanted to tell you

1247
00:51:07,064 --> 00:51:09,983
the vids you sent me are catching fire!

1248
00:51:10,067 --> 00:51:12,986
Oh, that's great, but this...
this felt right.

1249
00:51:13,070 --> 00:51:17,164
You know, I think we should
start a tour, maybe a special.

1250
00:51:17,248 --> 00:51:19,383
Sure. After you land Rooster,

1251
00:51:19,467 --> 00:51:21,295
then you have carte blanche in Hollywood.

1252
00:51:21,382 --> 00:51:23,431
Well, right, but I may not get it.

1253
00:51:23,515 --> 00:51:26,390
Well, my buddy told me
that Harlow Studio execs

1254
00:51:26,474 --> 00:51:27,826
love that you're mingling with the people,

1255
00:51:27,910 --> 00:51:29,390
doing your Christmas thing.

1256
00:51:29,477 --> 00:51:31,569
I think you got it in the bag.

1257
00:51:31,653 --> 00:51:33,963
So, let's land this movie,
then talk about stand-up.

1258
00:51:34,047 --> 00:51:36,313
Do you think this is the right fit for me?

1259
00:51:36,397 --> 00:51:38,921
What if Rooster Man
is just another bad move?

1260
00:51:39,008 --> 00:51:42,058
You know, I can't afford another
swing and miss like that.

1261
00:51:42,142 --> 00:51:44,191
Stop, stop.
You're being paranoid, okay?

1262
00:51:44,275 --> 00:51:46,407
You're bigger than stand-up.
This is our way back to the top.

1263
00:51:46,494 --> 00:51:47,843
Don't blow it.

1264
00:51:47,930 --> 00:51:49,239
I just want to connect to people again

1265
00:51:49,323 --> 00:51:50,849
in a real way.

1266
00:51:50,933 --> 00:51:52,982
And you will... in Imax.

1267
00:51:53,066 --> 00:51:54,720
Listen, I gotta go, okay?

1268
00:51:54,807 --> 00:51:56,591
But I'm really happy you
had a good time tonight.

1269
00:51:56,678 --> 00:51:58,115
I will keep you posted

1270
00:51:58,202 --> 00:51:59,246
with everything to do with the studio.

1271
00:51:59,333 --> 00:52:00,816
You are so close.

1272
00:52:00,900 --> 00:52:03,036
It's so close, Mike, okay?

1273
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:04,643
I gotta go. Talk soon.

1274
00:52:04,730 --> 00:52:06,297
Talk soon.

1275
00:52:14,653 --> 00:52:17,702
You know, one time
I bombed so badly,

1276
00:52:17,786 --> 00:52:22,533
the next guy up passed around a
hat to start my relocation fund.

1277
00:52:22,617 --> 00:52:24,141
I made more money that night
than I did the whole month.

1278
00:52:26,882 --> 00:52:30,454
I got laughs with the same
jokes at a club last night.

1279
00:52:30,538 --> 00:52:33,631
Look, there's
no substitution for stage time.

1280
00:52:33,715 --> 00:52:36,156
And just keep having fun, you know,

1281
00:52:36,240 --> 00:52:37,766
regardless of how they're reacting,

1282
00:52:37,850 --> 00:52:39,333
and they're gonna wanna join in.

1283
00:52:39,417 --> 00:52:43,902
Ah, it's great advice.
Thanks. I appreciate it.

1284
00:52:43,986 --> 00:52:45,727
You're a legend, Mike Baxter.

1285
00:52:45,814 --> 00:52:47,297
Oh, stop it.

1286
00:52:47,381 --> 00:52:48,382
Hey, chin up, it only gets harder.

1287
00:52:48,469 --> 00:52:49,775
Ha!

1288
00:52:53,257 --> 00:52:55,305
Look at you.

1289
00:52:55,389 --> 00:52:57,391
You were great tonight.
You killed it.

1290
00:52:57,478 --> 00:52:59,396
Thank you, thank you.
It felt great;

1291
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:02,530
the happiest
I've felt in a long time.

1292
00:53:02,614 --> 00:53:05,182
You know, some people even like
to smile when they're happy.

1293
00:53:06,879 --> 00:53:08,663
Okay,

1294
00:53:08,750 --> 00:53:12,363
my agent thinks I need to focus
on acting, not stand-up.

1295
00:53:12,450 --> 00:53:15,456
Maybe you should just focus
on what makes you happy.

1296
00:53:15,540 --> 00:53:18,807
He said if I get the part,
I'll have carte blanche.

1297
00:53:18,891 --> 00:53:20,591
I was too embarrassed to tell him

1298
00:53:20,675 --> 00:53:22,503
I don't actually speak French.

1299
00:53:22,590 --> 00:53:24,113
Yeah, I'm sure you will,

1300
00:53:24,201 --> 00:53:26,031
right after the sequel, the crossover,

1301
00:53:26,115 --> 00:53:27,987
and the reboot where you pass the torch on

1302
00:53:28,117 --> 00:53:30,210
to a much younger,
much more bankable Rooster.

1303
00:53:30,294 --> 00:53:33,256
Mm. Mm-hmm.
Much younger, better. Mm-hmm.

1304
00:53:33,340 --> 00:53:36,390
You know, this Christmas,
I feel...

1305
00:53:36,474 --> 00:53:40,129
more alive than I have
for the last five years.

1306
00:53:40,217 --> 00:53:42,657
Why is that?

1307
00:53:42,741 --> 00:53:45,268
Well, a wise man once told me

1308
00:53:45,352 --> 00:53:48,445
that Christmas gives you
exactly what you need.

1309
00:53:48,529 --> 00:53:51,709
So, pay attention.

1310
00:53:51,793 --> 00:53:56,192
What if I fall on my face?
What if I fail?

1311
00:53:56,276 --> 00:53:58,017
Well, the Comedy Club is
actually hiring a janitor.

1312
00:53:58,104 --> 00:54:01,238
We don't offer benefits, but you
can get any show for free.

1313
00:54:02,587 --> 00:54:04,197
Laughing is so easy with you.

1314
00:54:05,546 --> 00:54:08,117
Well, I'm happy to help.

1315
00:54:08,201 --> 00:54:11,642
Now, chin up because it only gets harder.

1316
00:54:11,726 --> 00:54:13,644
Chin up, that was my line.

1317
00:54:13,728 --> 00:54:14,950
- Yeah.
- With Jeremy.

1318
00:54:15,034 --> 00:54:16,731
You just stole my line.

1319
00:54:16,818 --> 00:54:18,124
- Yeah, that's the whole point.
- I just said that.

1320
00:54:28,656 --> 00:54:30,136
- Hey.
- Hey.

1321
00:54:30,223 --> 00:54:31,749
- Got you an omelet.
- Awesome.

1322
00:54:31,833 --> 00:54:33,360
I haven't had a chance
to eat breakfast yet.

1323
00:54:33,444 --> 00:54:35,228
- How much?
- It's on me.

1324
00:54:35,315 --> 00:54:38,016
Ian, I signed your paychecks,
I know how much you make.

1325
00:54:38,100 --> 00:54:40,889
It's fine. Tickets are at
a standstill for the show.

1326
00:54:40,973 --> 00:54:43,065
Even after Mike's performance last night.

1327
00:54:43,149 --> 00:54:44,629
I know, but we don't have an act
big enough to entice people

1328
00:54:44,716 --> 00:54:46,634
to leave their homes on Christmas Eve.

1329
00:54:46,718 --> 00:54:49,071
Honestly, everyone wants to
know if Mike will be there.

1330
00:54:49,155 --> 00:54:50,983
I do too.

1331
00:54:51,070 --> 00:54:53,118
Bella's coming.
Just don't mention anything.

1332
00:54:53,202 --> 00:54:54,903
Hi.

1333
00:54:54,987 --> 00:54:57,076
How about last night?

1334
00:54:57,163 --> 00:54:59,557
We got more hearts on our post than ever.

1335
00:54:59,687 --> 00:55:01,254
That's amazing.

1336
00:55:01,341 --> 00:55:02,690
I was thinking,

1337
00:55:02,777 --> 00:55:04,779
we should give some hot chocolate

1338
00:55:04,866 --> 00:55:07,916
to the people in the standby
line-up when we sell out.

1339
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:11,354
What?
For eight, ten bucks a cup?

1340
00:55:11,438 --> 00:55:13,574
We will have to get them
to line up in the back,

1341
00:55:13,658 --> 00:55:15,790
out in the alley, because the front

1342
00:55:15,877 --> 00:55:17,708
is going to be VIP only.

1343
00:55:17,792 --> 00:55:19,710
VIP?

1344
00:55:19,794 --> 00:55:22,670
Casting agents and
network execs and directors.

1345
00:55:22,754 --> 00:55:27,414
Oh, they're starting
to swarm like sharks and I,

1346
00:55:27,498 --> 00:55:30,243
Bella, am finally the chum.

1347
00:55:30,327 --> 00:55:32,329
Ah, that's amazing.

1348
00:55:32,416 --> 00:55:34,290
Look,

1349
00:55:34,374 --> 00:55:36,727
this variety show is so important.

1350
00:55:36,811 --> 00:55:40,862
We've got to impress these
people or else, we're finished.

1351
00:55:40,946 --> 00:55:42,429
We don't want that.

1352
00:55:42,513 --> 00:55:44,906
So, tell me you have this Aubri.

1353
00:55:44,993 --> 00:55:46,302
Yes, I will take care of it.

1354
00:55:48,736 --> 00:55:49,871
It's New York.

1355
00:55:49,955 --> 00:55:51,655
Ah, New York.

1356
00:55:51,739 --> 00:55:53,527
This variety show,
it could really change my--

1357
00:55:53,611 --> 00:55:54,658
our career.

1358
00:55:54,742 --> 00:55:56,965
Yeah.

1359
00:55:57,049 --> 00:55:58,575
I'll see you both later.

1360
00:55:58,659 --> 00:56:00,055
Not if I see you first.

1361
00:56:00,139 --> 00:56:03,754
He slays me.

1362
00:56:03,838 --> 00:56:05,318
Oh!

1363
00:56:08,277 --> 00:56:10,671
- What am I going to do?
- You know what to do.

1364
00:56:10,758 --> 00:56:12,372
Give the people what they want.

1365
00:56:12,456 --> 00:56:15,067
I can't. No.
Mike has enough on his plate.

1366
00:56:15,154 --> 00:56:17,504
Just ask him.
He's into you.

1367
00:56:17,591 --> 00:56:19,901
You think he's into me?

1368
00:56:19,985 --> 00:56:22,770
No. No, every celebrity
wants to spend their vacation

1369
00:56:22,857 --> 00:56:25,994
handing out cookies in a costume.

1370
00:56:26,078 --> 00:56:28,388
Don't tell me you're not into him.

1371
00:56:28,472 --> 00:56:31,521
'Kay, maybe I'm just a little into him.

1372
00:56:31,605 --> 00:56:33,302
I love you, cuz.

1373
00:56:33,390 --> 00:56:35,699
But waiting for what
you want to find you is...

1374
00:56:35,783 --> 00:56:38,307
a waste.

1375
00:56:38,395 --> 00:56:39,790
You need to stop hiding behind Bella.

1376
00:56:39,874 --> 00:56:41,441
Take charge;

1377
00:56:41,528 --> 00:56:45,489
could change your life and sell tickets.

1378
00:56:45,576 --> 00:56:46,881
Okay!

1379
00:56:46,968 --> 00:56:48,535
- I will go for him.
- Yes!

1380
00:56:48,622 --> 00:56:50,540
Professionally.

1381
00:56:50,624 --> 00:56:51,976
Sure.

1382
00:56:52,060 --> 00:56:53,543
Oh, I put the drinks

1383
00:56:53,627 --> 00:56:55,023
and the omelet on the company card.

1384
00:56:55,107 --> 00:56:57,196
- I hope that's okay.
- Yes.

1385
00:57:07,902 --> 00:57:09,994
Seeing Aubri?

1386
00:57:10,078 --> 00:57:11,210
What makes you say that?

1387
00:57:11,297 --> 00:57:13,171
Since when do you wear cologne?

1388
00:57:13,255 --> 00:57:15,609
I always wear cologne.

1389
00:57:15,693 --> 00:57:17,608
Too much?

1390
00:57:17,695 --> 00:57:19,439
I have seen you take a nap backstage

1391
00:57:19,523 --> 00:57:21,789
20 minutes before a sketch with Obama.

1392
00:57:24,005 --> 00:57:25,358
How are you nervous now?

1393
00:57:25,442 --> 00:57:27,182
She's great. I mean, she...

1394
00:57:27,313 --> 00:57:29,924
We have so much fun together.

1395
00:57:30,011 --> 00:57:33,583
She sees things in me I didn't
know anyone else could.

1396
00:57:33,667 --> 00:57:35,277
Good.

1397
00:57:35,364 --> 00:57:37,715
Show her who you really are,

1398
00:57:37,802 --> 00:57:40,329
not some shameless, non-committal bachelor

1399
00:57:40,413 --> 00:57:43,201
those gossip blogs make you out to be.

1400
00:57:43,285 --> 00:57:45,378
It's their words, not mine.

1401
00:57:45,462 --> 00:57:46,770
I appreciate you, Steph.

1402
00:57:46,854 --> 00:57:48,772
You know that?

1403
00:57:48,856 --> 00:57:49,991
I know you do.

1404
00:57:50,075 --> 00:57:51,253
Now, don't screw this up.

1405
00:57:51,337 --> 00:57:52,689
Right.

1406
00:57:52,773 --> 00:57:53,905
Bring her something nice.

1407
00:57:55,950 --> 00:57:57,607
Okay.

1408
00:57:57,691 --> 00:57:59,911
Nice,

1409
00:57:59,998 --> 00:58:01,437
not expensive.

1410
00:58:01,521 --> 00:58:03,436
Right.

1411
00:58:08,528 --> 00:58:10,751
- Hey.
- Hey.

1412
00:58:10,835 --> 00:58:13,315
Sorry I'm late. I was walking
over and saw this in a window.

1413
00:58:14,578 --> 00:58:17,714
It's beautiful.

1414
00:58:17,798 --> 00:58:19,757
To remind you of how you killed
it at the tree lighting.

1415
00:58:19,844 --> 00:58:20,978
It's a well-made item
and it reminded me of you.

1416
00:58:21,062 --> 00:58:22,240
I love it.

1417
00:58:22,324 --> 00:58:25,461
Shut up.

1418
00:58:25,545 --> 00:58:27,286
- Shall we?
- Yeah.

1419
00:58:27,373 --> 00:58:30,423
Come on. Oh, it's
a microphone, by the way.

1420
00:58:30,507 --> 00:58:32,465
It's because you're an amazing singer.

1421
00:58:32,552 --> 00:58:36,124
Wow. Beautiful.

1422
00:58:36,208 --> 00:58:38,692
Nice change of pace from a Comedy Club.

1423
00:58:38,776 --> 00:58:40,824
I'm really glad you came
and not just tonight,

1424
00:58:40,908 --> 00:58:44,433
but to the Comedy Club.

1425
00:58:44,521 --> 00:58:47,088
You've made this
Christmas pretty fun.

1426
00:58:47,175 --> 00:58:48,876
- Oh, yeah?
- You know that? Yeah.

1427
00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:50,007
Okay, maybe I should get you an ornament,

1428
00:58:50,091 --> 00:58:51,487
so you won't forget it.

1429
00:58:51,571 --> 00:58:54,403
Ooh, I wonder where I can get one

1430
00:58:54,487 --> 00:58:56,710
with a mob of children bringing
a grown man to tears.

1431
00:58:56,794 --> 00:58:58,668
Don't worry, it's gonna haunt my dreams...

1432
00:58:58,752 --> 00:59:00,801
- Mine, too.
- ...for a very long time.

1433
00:59:00,885 --> 00:59:03,281
And besides, who says I want to go back?

1434
00:59:03,365 --> 00:59:05,193
What are you going to do here?

1435
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:07,021
As long Bella's around,
I cannot promise you safety.

1436
00:59:07,108 --> 00:59:09,850
Oh, that's a very good point.
I could open up a B&B.

1437
00:59:09,937 --> 00:59:12,987
'B' for the iron bars I will
install on all the windows.

1438
00:59:13,071 --> 00:59:15,250
Of course.

1439
00:59:15,334 --> 00:59:17,731
But yeah, it sounds perfect
for when you retire.

1440
00:59:17,815 --> 00:59:20,644
Let's not forget you have a movie career.

1441
00:59:23,777 --> 00:59:27,436
It's been really awesome
being on stage again.

1442
00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:29,957
You know, near people
that are important to me.

1443
00:59:30,044 --> 00:59:32,307
Well, then, that's where you belong.

1444
00:59:32,394 --> 00:59:36,529
It'll make a lot of people really mad.

1445
00:59:36,616 --> 00:59:39,666
I think it would make
a lot more people happy.

1446
00:59:39,750 --> 00:59:43,365
Are you one of those people?

1447
00:59:43,449 --> 00:59:46,020
I just want what's best for you.

1448
00:59:46,104 --> 00:59:49,414
Most people want something from me,

1449
00:59:49,498 --> 00:59:51,025
not you.

1450
00:59:51,109 --> 00:59:53,198
Can I be honest?

1451
00:59:53,285 --> 00:59:54,898
Yeah. Yeah, of course.

1452
00:59:54,982 --> 00:59:57,640
Okay, I'm just gonna get it out.

1453
00:59:57,724 --> 01:00:01,165
The social media storm is
attracting a lot of attention,

1454
01:00:01,249 --> 01:00:03,864
a ton of industry people are
coming to the variety show.

1455
01:00:03,948 --> 01:00:05,518
Yeah, yeah. No, it's great.

1456
01:00:05,602 --> 01:00:06,994
I think my agent's flying in with some.

1457
01:00:07,081 --> 01:00:10,084
Yeah, but we have a ton of industry people

1458
01:00:10,171 --> 01:00:12,437
and no locals to laugh, clap,
or just enjoy the fun.

1459
01:00:12,521 --> 01:00:15,350
And well, if I have a half-empty room,

1460
01:00:15,437 --> 01:00:17,178
then Bella's career is finished,

1461
01:00:17,265 --> 01:00:20,617
and then mine just goes
down the drain with hers.

1462
01:00:20,704 --> 01:00:24,058
The tickets aren't selling,
and we really need a headliner,

1463
01:00:24,142 --> 01:00:25,755
and lot of people are asking about you.

1464
01:00:25,839 --> 01:00:27,191
And would you just please make
my Christmas wish?

1465
01:00:27,275 --> 01:00:28,712
Yes. Yes. Of course.

1466
01:00:28,842 --> 01:00:30,104
- Really?
- Yes.

1467
01:00:30,191 --> 01:00:32,066
It would be my pleasure.

1468
01:00:32,150 --> 01:00:34,982
So, can Bella announce it
at the Snowball Social tonight?

1469
01:00:35,066 --> 01:00:36,897
I have your word?

1470
01:00:36,981 --> 01:00:39,116
Because if the audience start rioting,

1471
01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:41,336
then I'm actually
Bella's designated human shield.

1472
01:00:41,420 --> 01:00:42,511
- Let's go sell some tickets.
- Yeah. Okay.

1473
01:00:42,595 --> 01:00:44,339
Yeah. I didn't think--

1474
01:00:44,423 --> 01:00:46,468
Come on. Let's do it.
For the Snowball Social!

1475
01:00:51,343 --> 01:00:55,216
♪ That Christmas time feeling

1476
01:00:55,303 --> 01:00:57,308
♪ With family all around

1477
01:00:57,392 --> 01:00:58,440
♪ Sleigh bells and the sound

1478
01:00:58,524 --> 01:01:00,311
Hi there, Nutcracker.

1479
01:01:00,395 --> 01:01:02,615
You look beautiful.

1480
01:01:02,702 --> 01:01:06,491
Thank you.
And a reward for the compliment.

1481
01:01:06,575 --> 01:01:08,450
She comes at a price.
What is this?

1482
01:01:08,534 --> 01:01:10,275
- A walnut for you.
- What?

1483
01:01:10,362 --> 01:01:12,843
For me? Oh, my--
Thank you so much for this.

1484
01:01:12,930 --> 01:01:14,064
Do you want me to eat this right now?

1485
01:01:14,148 --> 01:01:15,762
You do. I just crack them.

1486
01:01:15,846 --> 01:01:17,328
Well, actually, it turns out

1487
01:01:17,412 --> 01:01:18,721
walnuts are really tough to crack.

1488
01:01:18,805 --> 01:01:21,155
Right. That makes sense.

1489
01:01:21,242 --> 01:01:22,551
And who are you supposed to be?

1490
01:01:22,635 --> 01:01:24,161
Jack Frost, baby.

1491
01:01:24,245 --> 01:01:27,422
Handsome.

1492
01:01:27,509 --> 01:01:28,644
Not as functional as a nutcracker.

1493
01:01:28,728 --> 01:01:30,603
A nutcracker. Obviously.

1494
01:01:30,687 --> 01:01:32,082
- But very handsome.
- Thank you.

1495
01:01:32,166 --> 01:01:33,997
- Aubri?
- Oh.

1496
01:01:34,081 --> 01:01:35,999
- Looks like I got to--
- Your elf needs some help.

1497
01:01:36,083 --> 01:01:38,390
I got an elf to attend to. Okay.

1498
01:01:40,697 --> 01:01:42,437
Well?

1499
01:01:42,524 --> 01:01:45,400
I thought you were supposed to
wear a costume.

1500
01:01:45,484 --> 01:01:46,920
Oh. Ha-ha. What'd he say?

1501
01:01:47,007 --> 01:01:49,186
He said yes.

1502
01:01:49,270 --> 01:01:50,837
He's going to headline.

1503
01:01:52,099 --> 01:01:55,062
Huh?

1504
01:01:55,146 --> 01:01:56,977
What if he said no?

1505
01:01:57,061 --> 01:02:00,241
I put it on the company card.

1506
01:02:00,325 --> 01:02:03,894
Ooh. I should probably
find Bella so she can announce.

1507
01:02:03,981 --> 01:02:06,377
Oh. She actually texted me
saying she's running late.

1508
01:02:06,461 --> 01:02:08,510
She also asked me to save her
a slow dance.

1509
01:02:10,465 --> 01:02:11,640
Think I learned my lesson about
encouraging older women.

1510
01:02:11,728 --> 01:02:13,820
Why is Mike Baxter in a costume?

1511
01:02:13,904 --> 01:02:16,431
Is it true? Is Mike Baxter
headlining the variety show?

1512
01:02:16,515 --> 01:02:17,824
- I hope that's okay.
- Okay?

1513
01:02:17,908 --> 01:02:19,390
I was about to give away free tickets

1514
01:02:19,474 --> 01:02:21,392
to the assisted living facility.

1515
01:02:21,476 --> 01:02:23,046
We'll announce it right before

1516
01:02:23,130 --> 01:02:24,657
the couples' snowball
spotlight dance. Thank you.

1517
01:02:24,741 --> 01:02:28,095
Well, I should probably help Ian.

1518
01:02:28,179 --> 01:02:30,703
Yeah, yeah. 'Cause simple
addition does hurt my brain.

1519
01:02:30,790 --> 01:02:32,490
I think I'll be okay.

1520
01:02:32,574 --> 01:02:33,924
Go have fun.

1521
01:02:35,229 --> 01:02:36,883
Want to dance?

1522
01:02:47,415 --> 01:02:49,551
I think we might sell out
tonight, thanks to you.

1523
01:02:49,635 --> 01:02:51,248
What are you talking about?
Thanks to you.

1524
01:02:51,332 --> 01:02:53,555
Give yourself some credit.
You've been working hard.

1525
01:02:53,639 --> 01:02:55,423
The Comedy Club belongs to Bella.

1526
01:02:55,510 --> 01:02:57,646
I mean, without her, I wouldn't
even have a chance to write.

1527
01:02:57,730 --> 01:02:59,213
Mm-mmm. Not true.

1528
01:02:59,297 --> 01:03:00,602
You write because that's who you are.

1529
01:03:02,648 --> 01:03:03,910
But to be honest, from what I've seen,

1530
01:03:03,997 --> 01:03:06,478
you are so much more.

1531
01:03:10,569 --> 01:03:12,661
I think when Bella eventually

1532
01:03:12,745 --> 01:03:14,881
introduces me to her industry friends,

1533
01:03:14,965 --> 01:03:17,141
then I can finally make that leap.

1534
01:03:19,186 --> 01:03:21,409
Okay. I had a mentor once who told me

1535
01:03:21,493 --> 01:03:23,712
that it's a very dangerous thing

1536
01:03:23,843 --> 01:03:28,242
to put your entire destiny
in someone else's hands.

1537
01:03:28,326 --> 01:03:30,026
You don't need Bella's help.

1538
01:03:30,110 --> 01:03:32,202
You didn't have any help?

1539
01:03:32,286 --> 01:03:35,728
You said the variety show
gave you your first big break.

1540
01:03:35,812 --> 01:03:37,294
A talent scout saw you.

1541
01:03:37,378 --> 01:03:38,600
Oh, he did, but he was only there

1542
01:03:38,684 --> 01:03:40,254
because I sent him the tickets.

1543
01:03:40,338 --> 01:03:42,865
I e-mailed to make sure that
he got the tickets,

1544
01:03:42,949 --> 01:03:44,733
and called repeatedly to
make sure that he got the e-mail

1545
01:03:44,821 --> 01:03:46,303
to make sure that he got the tickets,

1546
01:03:46,387 --> 01:03:48,131
and I did the same thing
for about 15 others.

1547
01:03:48,215 --> 01:03:49,654
One showed up.

1548
01:03:49,738 --> 01:03:51,221
- Really?
- Yes.

1549
01:03:51,305 --> 01:03:52,875
- Look at you.
- Mm-hmm?

1550
01:03:52,959 --> 01:03:54,134
- Still obnoxious.
- Mm-hmm?

1551
01:03:54,221 --> 01:03:55,704
About to be a superhero.

1552
01:03:55,788 --> 01:03:58,225
Well, I mean,
the jury is still out on that.

1553
01:03:58,312 --> 01:04:00,358
I won't know until after Christmas.

1554
01:04:00,445 --> 01:04:02,664
And what are you doing for Christmas?

1555
01:04:02,751 --> 01:04:05,366
Well, after the show,
probably a very exciting night.

1556
01:04:05,450 --> 01:04:06,755
Watering my plants.

1557
01:04:06,843 --> 01:04:08,369
- Sorting my mail.
- Very exciting.

1558
01:04:08,453 --> 01:04:13,110
Unless you'd want to spend
Christmas together.

1559
01:04:13,197 --> 01:04:15,416
But it'll be your fault if my plants die.

1560
01:04:15,503 --> 01:04:16,856
Ladies and gentlemen,

1561
01:04:16,940 --> 01:04:18,683
our couples' spotlight snowball dance

1562
01:04:18,767 --> 01:04:20,773
is about to start.

1563
01:04:20,857 --> 01:04:22,687
But before the romance gets
started, our costume friends

1564
01:04:22,771 --> 01:04:24,385
from the Comedy Club
have a huge announcement

1565
01:04:24,469 --> 01:04:25,603
about the closing of the Christmas fest.

1566
01:04:25,687 --> 01:04:26,953
You can tell me later.

1567
01:04:27,037 --> 01:04:28,781
So, I know a lot of you know

1568
01:04:28,865 --> 01:04:31,522
that we've had a special guest
here over the holidays.

1569
01:04:31,606 --> 01:04:33,608
Let me get the team up
from the Comedy Club

1570
01:04:33,695 --> 01:04:35,004
to tell us more.
Uh, is Bella here?

1571
01:04:35,088 --> 01:04:36,266
No, but Aubri is here.

1572
01:04:36,350 --> 01:04:37,699
What?

1573
01:04:37,786 --> 01:04:39,922
Aubri Wilson, come on down.

1574
01:04:45,055 --> 01:04:46,537
Hello.

1575
01:04:46,621 --> 01:04:48,496
As I'm sure some of you have noticed,

1576
01:04:48,580 --> 01:04:51,412
we've added a new headliner
to our variety show.

1577
01:04:51,496 --> 01:04:53,063
Yeah?

1578
01:04:53,150 --> 01:04:56,373
So, I am pleased to announce that...

1579
01:04:56,457 --> 01:04:58,506
...Mike Baxter will be performing.

1580
01:05:00,461 --> 01:05:03,685
Thank you so much, Aubri, darling.

1581
01:05:03,769 --> 01:05:06,644
Aubri, my assistant, everybody.

1582
01:05:06,728 --> 01:05:08,908
Thank you, darling. Thank you.

1583
01:05:08,992 --> 01:05:11,646
Okay. Please help me bring to the stage

1584
01:05:11,733 --> 01:05:15,259
the Comedy Club's superstar comic

1585
01:05:15,346 --> 01:05:16,567
and our Christmas headliner,

1586
01:05:16,651 --> 01:05:18,697
Mike Baxter!

1587
01:05:18,784 --> 01:05:21,134
Okay. Here we go. Here we go.
Here we go.

1588
01:05:21,221 --> 01:05:22,919
Here we go.
Here we go. Here we go.

1589
01:05:24,833 --> 01:05:26,577
Thank you.

1590
01:05:26,661 --> 01:05:29,838
Mike, we are so thrilled
to have you performing,

1591
01:05:29,926 --> 01:05:32,058
and of course, I'll be hosting.
The dynamic duo.

1592
01:05:32,145 --> 01:05:33,976
Right, folks?

1593
01:05:34,060 --> 01:05:37,893
Okay. Now, don't forget.
Pick your tickets up tonight,

1594
01:05:37,977 --> 01:05:39,805
because we are selling out so fast.

1595
01:05:39,892 --> 01:05:41,546
Oh, yeah.

1596
01:05:41,633 --> 01:05:43,420
The hottest show in town
is only three days away.

1597
01:05:43,504 --> 01:05:44,813
Please make sure you get your tickets

1598
01:05:44,897 --> 01:05:46,423
from the table in the back,

1599
01:05:46,507 --> 01:05:47,947
and why don't we get
Mr. and Mrs. Jack Frost

1600
01:05:48,031 --> 01:05:49,731
to kick off this snowball spotlight dance?

1601
01:05:49,815 --> 01:05:52,865
That the Ice Queen to you, darling.

1602
01:05:52,949 --> 01:05:55,215
But I will accept the spotlight.

1603
01:05:55,299 --> 01:05:56,561
Mike?

1604
01:05:58,693 --> 01:06:00,043
Bella?

1605
01:06:04,873 --> 01:06:06,661
♪ If you say

1606
01:06:06,745 --> 01:06:08,968
I'm so glad you're helping me.

1607
01:06:09,052 --> 01:06:11,100
Thanks, Bella. Appreciate that.
And you spin...

1608
01:06:11,184 --> 01:06:13,973
♪ Your last goodbye

1609
01:06:14,057 --> 01:06:18,847
♪ And I knew you were going away ♪

1610
01:06:18,931 --> 01:06:19,976
I'm not keeping you, am I?

1611
01:06:22,195 --> 01:06:24,679
- Want some good news?
- Sure.

1612
01:06:24,763 --> 01:06:27,374
Tickets are sold out.
The VIP section is full.

1613
01:06:27,461 --> 01:06:29,727
It's going to be a packed house
on Christmas Eve.

1614
01:06:29,811 --> 01:06:33,253
- You did it.
- We did it.

1615
01:06:33,337 --> 01:06:34,907
They should get a fantastic show.

1616
01:06:34,991 --> 01:06:36,778
Tomorrow, we celebrate.

1617
01:06:36,862 --> 01:06:39,476
Oh, no. No, no, no.
I have to write.

1618
01:06:39,560 --> 01:06:41,388
Christmas Eve is three days away,

1619
01:06:41,475 --> 01:06:43,437
and Bella is going to need jokes.

1620
01:06:43,521 --> 01:06:45,352
What about Mike?

1621
01:06:47,220 --> 01:06:48,398
You know, I am going to need
an opening act.

1622
01:06:48,482 --> 01:06:50,096
Jack Frost and the Ice Queen

1623
01:06:50,180 --> 01:06:51,877
are a better fit than the Nutcracker.

1624
01:06:53,835 --> 01:06:55,185
Thank you for everything.

1625
01:07:11,549 --> 01:07:13,725
Hello?

1626
01:07:13,812 --> 01:07:16,339
Mike, you're not still out in,
what was it, Dakota, are you?

1627
01:07:16,423 --> 01:07:19,125
Uh, outside Chicago.
Our third largest city.

1628
01:07:19,209 --> 01:07:20,645
Right. Well, listen.

1629
01:07:20,732 --> 01:07:21,954
I was watching the sunrise this morning,

1630
01:07:22,038 --> 01:07:23,213
and I couldn't help but notice

1631
01:07:23,300 --> 01:07:24,736
that you weren't outside crowing.

1632
01:07:26,868 --> 01:07:28,131
What?

1633
01:07:28,218 --> 01:07:29,439
Crowing.

1634
01:07:29,523 --> 01:07:31,746
Sunrise. It's what roosters do.

1635
01:07:31,830 --> 01:07:34,488
Yes. Thank you, Damon. I know.
What's happening?

1636
01:07:34,572 --> 01:07:37,357
- Did I get the part?
- Yes. You got it.

1637
01:07:37,444 --> 01:07:40,189
What I'm trying to say is
you are officially the rooster!

1638
01:07:40,273 --> 01:07:42,191
Well, actually, I'm Rooster Man.

1639
01:07:42,275 --> 01:07:43,798
Exactly. Listen.
They called this morning.

1640
01:07:43,885 --> 01:07:45,539
I'm working on a deal right now.

1641
01:07:45,626 --> 01:07:49,024
But you are a man of the people.
You sealed the deal!

1642
01:07:49,108 --> 01:07:50,327
Congrats.

1643
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:54,200
Congrats.

1644
01:07:55,680 --> 01:07:57,554
Mikey, didn't you hear me?

1645
01:07:57,638 --> 01:07:59,031
Did my assistant drop the call?
'Cause if he did, I swear--

1646
01:07:59,118 --> 01:08:01,515
- Brandon!
- No, no. I'm here.

1647
01:08:01,599 --> 01:08:03,299
Hey.
Can I call you back?

1648
01:08:03,383 --> 01:08:06,256
I have to finish writing my act
for the variety show.

1649
01:08:06,343 --> 01:08:08,000
Wait, wait, wait. You're not
still performing, are you?

1650
01:08:08,084 --> 01:08:09,697
We need you back in LA, ASAP.

1651
01:08:09,781 --> 01:08:11,307
They need to scan your feet
for the prosthetics.

1652
01:08:11,391 --> 01:08:14,049
I can't. I'm headlining.

1653
01:08:14,133 --> 01:08:15,442
No, Mike. You don't understand.
You have to be back in LA.

1654
01:08:15,526 --> 01:08:17,009
They're doing a whole song and dance

1655
01:08:17,093 --> 01:08:18,616
at one of those conventions.

1656
01:08:18,746 --> 01:08:20,008
You know, the ones
where the geeks get together

1657
01:08:20,096 --> 01:08:21,317
and watch trailers?

1658
01:08:21,401 --> 01:08:24,190
I just, um--

1659
01:08:24,274 --> 01:08:26,757
I need a bit of time to think about this.

1660
01:08:26,841 --> 01:08:28,365
No. There's no time.

1661
01:08:28,452 --> 01:08:29,499
My assistant booked you a flight
Christmas Eve.

1662
01:08:29,583 --> 01:08:31,588
Hell send you the details.

1663
01:08:31,672 --> 01:08:34,374
- I'm committed to the club.
- Mike, they will understand.

1664
01:08:34,458 --> 01:08:36,115
This is a franchise, Mikey.

1665
01:08:36,199 --> 01:08:39,115
We're talking about
action figures and bedsheets.

1666
01:08:39,202 --> 01:08:40,986
A whole lot of people
are counting on you with this.

1667
01:08:41,073 --> 01:08:43,905
Maybe this isn't the right move for me.

1668
01:08:43,989 --> 01:08:46,557
Oh, yes, it is. Listen.

1669
01:08:46,644 --> 01:08:48,428
I will personally bring you
the contract myself.

1670
01:08:48,515 --> 01:08:49,908
I'm on my way.

1671
01:08:49,995 --> 01:08:51,608
Brandon! Are you there?

1672
01:08:51,692 --> 01:08:54,133
Listen, Brandon.
Book me a flight out to, um--

1673
01:08:54,217 --> 01:08:55,830
Where is this place?

1674
01:08:55,914 --> 01:08:58,441
No, Damon. You really don't need
to come here.

1675
01:08:58,525 --> 01:09:00,269
Listen, Mikey. Listen to me.
Two words, okay?

1676
01:09:00,353 --> 01:09:01,833
Whole grains.

1677
01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:02,924
- Damon--
- I'll see you soon.

1678
01:09:03,008 --> 01:09:04,749
Damon?

1679
01:09:12,235 --> 01:09:13,453
It's going to be a big night.

1680
01:09:13,540 --> 01:09:14,889
At the very least,

1681
01:09:14,976 --> 01:09:16,720
an expensive one.
Bella asked for

1682
01:09:16,804 --> 01:09:18,418
last-minute decorations.

1683
01:09:18,502 --> 01:09:21,983
But did give me my
Christmas bonus, so it's a wash.

1684
01:09:22,070 --> 01:09:24,467
She gave me one, too.
Now, I remember why I started

1685
01:09:24,551 --> 01:09:26,165
encouraging older women
in the first place.

1686
01:09:26,249 --> 01:09:28,384
This is good stuff.

1687
01:09:28,468 --> 01:09:29,690
It can't be all for Bella.

1688
01:09:29,774 --> 01:09:31,300
It's my idea book.

1689
01:09:31,384 --> 01:09:33,389
I write anything and everything in it.

1690
01:09:33,473 --> 01:09:35,261
Then you should perform it.

1691
01:09:35,345 --> 01:09:37,303
You have enough material there.

1692
01:09:37,390 --> 01:09:39,221
I'm a writer.

1693
01:09:39,305 --> 01:09:41,133
Besides, anytime I was good,
Mike was up there with me.

1694
01:09:41,220 --> 01:09:43,135
- Hi.
- Hi.

1695
01:09:43,222 --> 01:09:45,529
I'm Damon Cardona.
I represent Mike Baxter.

1696
01:09:45,616 --> 01:09:47,273
Are you the cleaning staff?

1697
01:09:47,357 --> 01:09:49,141
Among other things.
You're early for the show.

1698
01:09:49,228 --> 01:09:50,885
No, I'm not here for the show.

1699
01:09:50,969 --> 01:09:52,623
I'm only here to pick up Mike.
Is he around?

1700
01:09:52,710 --> 01:09:54,059
Uh, picking up?

1701
01:09:54,146 --> 01:09:55,455
Yeah. I'd love to get to the O'Hare

1702
01:09:55,539 --> 01:09:56,543
before the Diamond Lounge fills up.

1703
01:09:56,627 --> 01:09:58,719
I'm sorry.

1704
01:09:58,803 --> 01:10:02,505
I haven't talked to Mike
in the last day. He's leaving?

1705
01:10:02,589 --> 01:10:04,594
Oh, you guys must not read up
on the trades.

1706
01:10:04,678 --> 01:10:07,510
Okay. Look, then.
Mike booked Rooster Man.

1707
01:10:07,594 --> 01:10:10,296
So, he has to go back to LA for press.

1708
01:10:10,380 --> 01:10:12,820
You know, I got to thank you,
because those viral videos

1709
01:10:12,904 --> 01:10:15,167
helped us cross the finish line.
They were amazing.

1710
01:10:15,254 --> 01:10:17,125
- Hi, Damon.
- Ah.

1711
01:10:17,213 --> 01:10:18,913
I told you I would be here.
Listen.

1712
01:10:18,997 --> 01:10:20,306
I could not let you miss an opportunity.

1713
01:10:20,390 --> 01:10:22,392
So, I have a car in the back.

1714
01:10:22,479 --> 01:10:23,700
If you hurry up, you can get
that champagne service.

1715
01:10:23,784 --> 01:10:24,919
Damon, I'm going to meet you outside.

1716
01:10:25,003 --> 01:10:27,095
- Okay?
- Right.

1717
01:10:27,179 --> 01:10:29,619
Well, good meeting you.
Merry Christmas.

1718
01:10:29,703 --> 01:10:33,054
And, uh, don't take too long.

1719
01:10:34,926 --> 01:10:37,755
I, uh, think I left my oven on.
I'm going to--

1720
01:10:40,975 --> 01:10:43,064
You got the part.

1721
01:10:43,151 --> 01:10:45,110
I wanted to tell you, but
I wasn't sure about taking it.

1722
01:10:45,241 --> 01:10:47,637
Okay?
I needed some time to think.

1723
01:10:47,721 --> 01:10:49,288
And did you?

1724
01:10:49,375 --> 01:10:51,337
You could have told me before Damon did.

1725
01:10:51,421 --> 01:10:53,205
I needed to figure out
what I was going to do first.

1726
01:10:53,292 --> 01:10:54,989
And what you figured out
was leaving me here

1727
01:10:55,076 --> 01:10:56,907
without a headliner? Just
backing out at the last minute?

1728
01:10:56,991 --> 01:10:58,732
It's complicated.

1729
01:10:58,819 --> 01:11:01,039
And that's why I came over here,
to tell you in person.

1730
01:11:01,126 --> 01:11:04,176
I didn't think Damon
was going to find you first.

1731
01:11:04,260 --> 01:11:06,523
This has been in the works
for such a long time.

1732
01:11:06,610 --> 01:11:07,962
I don't have a choice.

1733
01:11:08,046 --> 01:11:09,703
You do, and you made it.

1734
01:11:09,787 --> 01:11:11,139
You don't understand.
People rely on me

1735
01:11:11,223 --> 01:11:12,967
doing this movie.

1736
01:11:13,051 --> 01:11:16,144
The studio can crush you.

1737
01:11:16,228 --> 01:11:18,056
Somebody told me that
it is a dangerous thing

1738
01:11:18,143 --> 01:11:19,623
to leave your destiny
in other people's hands.

1739
01:11:22,190 --> 01:11:23,279
I'm sorry.

1740
01:11:25,455 --> 01:11:26,804
Trust me.
It wasn't an easy decision.

1741
01:11:28,762 --> 01:11:30,071
Listen to me.

1742
01:11:30,155 --> 01:11:31,896
You don't need me for the show.

1743
01:11:33,593 --> 01:11:35,073
Okay? You've got the talent.

1744
01:11:35,160 --> 01:11:37,423
The tickets are sold.

1745
01:11:37,510 --> 01:11:39,033
It's going to be a success no matter what.

1746
01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:42,298
Yeah. It will be a success.
Thank you.

1747
01:11:42,385 --> 01:11:44,868
Aubri, this is your time.

1748
01:11:44,952 --> 01:11:48,260
And it's your time to be a hero
on the big screen.

1749
01:11:48,347 --> 01:11:50,004
Congratulations.

1750
01:11:50,088 --> 01:11:51,875
Aubri, you're a star.

1751
01:11:51,959 --> 01:11:53,439
You shine on your own.

1752
01:11:55,963 --> 01:11:57,138
Merry Christmas, Mike.

1753
01:12:08,759 --> 01:12:10,500
We don't have a headliner now?

1754
01:12:10,587 --> 01:12:12,893
None of the acts want to replace Mike.

1755
01:12:12,980 --> 01:12:14,507
He set the expectations too high.

1756
01:12:14,591 --> 01:12:16,726
Yeah. You set your expectations too high

1757
01:12:16,810 --> 01:12:19,381
when you put your faith in
that... that sellout.

1758
01:12:19,465 --> 01:12:21,946
And how much is he making for that movie?

1759
01:12:22,033 --> 01:12:24,212
Four or five mil?

1760
01:12:24,296 --> 01:12:26,997
Okay. I have a great set.
Maybe you can close.

1761
01:12:27,081 --> 01:12:29,739
Yeah, or maybe you can get
that magician you hired

1762
01:12:29,823 --> 01:12:31,521
to saw me in half.

1763
01:12:33,914 --> 01:12:35,960
The crowd wants to see the headliner.

1764
01:12:36,047 --> 01:12:37,965
They're not going to happy until they do.

1765
01:12:38,049 --> 01:12:39,311
And an unhappy crowd,

1766
01:12:39,398 --> 01:12:40,747
they don't laugh.

1767
01:12:40,834 --> 01:12:42,622
What are the VIPs going to think?

1768
01:12:42,706 --> 01:12:46,582
Oh, I cannot believe
this is happening to me again!

1769
01:12:46,666 --> 01:12:47,801
Bella, they're your friends.

1770
01:12:47,885 --> 01:12:49,147
Friends don't forget about you.

1771
01:12:49,234 --> 01:12:50,630
Friends don't ignore your calls.

1772
01:12:50,714 --> 01:12:52,759
Friends broker your million-dollar deals,

1773
01:12:52,846 --> 01:12:55,156
not advertisements for battery acid

1774
01:12:55,240 --> 01:12:57,416
thinly disguised as soda pop.

1775
01:13:00,114 --> 01:13:03,295
Looks like we're going to
crash and burn together.

1776
01:13:03,379 --> 01:13:04,902
And you don't deserve that,
Aubri.

1777
01:13:06,817 --> 01:13:08,343
I'll do it.

1778
01:13:08,427 --> 01:13:10,302
What, crash and burn?

1779
01:13:10,386 --> 01:13:11,520
I just said we'll do it together.

1780
01:13:11,604 --> 01:13:13,217
Headline.

1781
01:13:13,301 --> 01:13:14,784
The people in town,
they've seen me perform.

1782
01:13:14,868 --> 01:13:16,174
I have a ton of followers.

1783
01:13:16,261 --> 01:13:17,958
And I got us in this situation,

1784
01:13:18,045 --> 01:13:19,746
and I'm going to get us out of it.

1785
01:13:19,830 --> 01:13:22,966
Honey, they're not going to be a
very forgiving crowd.

1786
01:13:23,050 --> 01:13:26,840
I am not going to let them
break me, okay? I will do it.

1787
01:13:26,924 --> 01:13:29,408
Okay. I'm just going to tell you,

1788
01:13:29,492 --> 01:13:32,672
as much as I want to see you
succeed out there,

1789
01:13:32,756 --> 01:13:34,018
just as much
I don't want you to,

1790
01:13:34,105 --> 01:13:35,762
because I don't want to lose you.

1791
01:13:35,846 --> 01:13:37,546
Impossible.

1792
01:13:37,630 --> 01:13:39,243
As if you could ever lose me.

1793
01:13:39,327 --> 01:13:40,851
I'm only here because of you, and...

1794
01:13:42,940 --> 01:13:44,727
...you'll always be home to me,
Bella.

1795
01:13:44,811 --> 01:13:46,726
You're brave.

1796
01:13:46,813 --> 01:13:50,951
Aubri, you belong on center stage.

1797
01:13:51,035 --> 01:13:53,994
I want you to go out there and claim it.

1798
01:13:56,562 --> 01:13:58,741
Five minutes till show time.

1799
01:13:58,825 --> 01:14:02,394
Oh. There she is.
The star that saved Christmas.

1800
01:14:04,744 --> 01:14:06,398
And you?
You're the Little Dipper.

1801
01:14:08,618 --> 01:14:09,839
Does that mean--

1802
01:14:09,923 --> 01:14:11,624
I--

1803
01:14:11,708 --> 01:14:15,236
I, uh, think
I may have just blacked out.

1804
01:14:15,320 --> 01:14:16,452
Ooh. Okay. Uh--

1805
01:14:23,589 --> 01:14:25,246
Can you stop celebrating so loudly?

1806
01:14:25,330 --> 01:14:27,419
The girls are trying to take a nap.

1807
01:14:30,291 --> 01:14:33,036
I thought a comeback would make me happy.

1808
01:14:33,120 --> 01:14:34,382
But Christmas Eve, having to leave you

1809
01:14:34,470 --> 01:14:36,123
and the girls, and--

1810
01:14:40,040 --> 01:14:42,478
Look. You know me.
I wouldn't do this

1811
01:14:42,565 --> 01:14:43,656
if I didn't have a choice.

1812
01:14:43,740 --> 01:14:45,350
But you do.

1813
01:14:47,613 --> 01:14:49,006
Well, you always have a choice.

1814
01:14:49,093 --> 01:14:51,054
I'm proud of you no matter what you do.

1815
01:14:51,138 --> 01:14:53,013
I just want you to be happy.

1816
01:14:55,186 --> 01:14:57,234
Ah, forgive me for saying this,
but I do not like that man.

1817
01:14:57,318 --> 01:14:59,367
Yeah. That makes two of us.

1818
01:15:02,106 --> 01:15:04,804
I'm so proud of you.

1819
01:15:04,935 --> 01:15:07,114
- I love you.
- I love you.

1820
01:15:07,198 --> 01:15:09,377
Go follow your heart.

1821
01:15:12,072 --> 01:15:13,987
Or whatever you have to do
to make that man leave.

1822
01:15:19,297 --> 01:15:21,821
So, they've already sent some PR briefs.

1823
01:15:21,908 --> 01:15:24,044
So, if anyone asks, you've read
the comics your whole life

1824
01:15:24,128 --> 01:15:25,521
and you can sleep in a chicken coop.

1825
01:15:27,697 --> 01:15:28,788
Okay?

1826
01:15:28,872 --> 01:15:30,961
Damon, when do
I get to be myself?

1827
01:15:32,876 --> 01:15:35,443
This is yourself,
only richer and hire-able.

1828
01:15:39,273 --> 01:15:40,364
What is that?

1829
01:15:40,448 --> 01:15:44,456
Are those--

1830
01:15:44,540 --> 01:15:46,458
- Hey. It's not a--
- Let me see. What is this?

1831
01:15:46,542 --> 01:15:49,112
Mikey, I said whole grains.

1832
01:15:49,196 --> 01:15:50,894
I wasn't going to eat the whole thing.

1833
01:15:52,199 --> 01:15:54,071
Here. Have some walnuts.

1834
01:16:00,860 --> 01:16:02,996
Okay. You know what?
You don't want the walnuts?

1835
01:16:03,080 --> 01:16:04,171
You don't like them?

1836
01:16:04,255 --> 01:16:06,086
How about this?

1837
01:16:06,170 --> 01:16:07,827
We can get you something else
at the airport, okay?

1838
01:16:07,911 --> 01:16:08,871
I don't need to come back on top.

1839
01:16:08,955 --> 01:16:11,044
I don't.

1840
01:16:11,131 --> 01:16:14,790
I want to make people happy
again, in my own way.

1841
01:16:14,874 --> 01:16:16,223
Take these and have these.

1842
01:16:16,310 --> 01:16:17,750
We can put the abs on you in post.

1843
01:16:17,834 --> 01:16:19,578
- No. Damon--
- You can eat whatever you want.

1844
01:16:19,662 --> 01:16:22,273
Damon, I got to follow my heart.
Listen to me.

1845
01:16:22,360 --> 01:16:25,192
We're going to make this living
a very happy and lucrative one.

1846
01:16:25,276 --> 01:16:28,238
Okay? Trust me.
Stop the car, please.

1847
01:16:28,322 --> 01:16:29,588
No, no, no. Don't stop the car.

1848
01:16:29,672 --> 01:16:32,068
Please don't do this.
It's Christmas.

1849
01:16:32,152 --> 01:16:33,287
We're talking action figures,
Mikey.

1850
01:16:33,371 --> 01:16:34,546
Excuse me. Stop the car.

1851
01:16:37,070 --> 01:16:38,858
Just drive.

1852
01:16:38,942 --> 01:16:40,207
Action figures, Mikey.
Bedsheets.

1853
01:16:40,291 --> 01:16:41,556
Stop the car.

1854
01:16:41,640 --> 01:16:44,951
Damon... eat a pastry.

1855
01:16:45,035 --> 01:16:46,123
Mike, don't do this.

1856
01:16:46,210 --> 01:16:48,824
Trust me.

1857
01:16:53,826 --> 01:16:56,049
I have been naughty all year,

1858
01:16:56,133 --> 01:16:58,442
just to save poor Santa the trip.

1859
01:16:58,526 --> 01:17:02,443
But really, it's a wonderful
life, isn't it, folks?

1860
01:17:02,530 --> 01:17:05,362
And we've been blessed this year
with a white Christmas.

1861
01:17:05,446 --> 01:17:07,756
And we're not home alone.
We're all here together,

1862
01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:11,104
with a great Christmas, warm spirit,

1863
01:17:11,191 --> 01:17:14,891
ready to enjoy the first
Christmas variety concert

1864
01:17:14,978 --> 01:17:17,113
that the Comedy Club has put on in years.

1865
01:17:17,197 --> 01:17:20,769
Yes, yes!

1866
01:17:20,853 --> 01:17:22,815
Okay.

1867
01:17:22,899 --> 01:17:24,164
You got this, cuz.

1868
01:17:24,248 --> 01:17:26,209
Yeah.
They're either going to love me

1869
01:17:26,293 --> 01:17:28,690
or they're going to hate me.
Oh, they're going to hate me.

1870
01:17:28,774 --> 01:17:30,953
They're going to love you.

1871
01:17:31,037 --> 01:17:32,476
This is your destiny.

1872
01:17:32,560 --> 01:17:33,779
I knew it back then in the tree house,

1873
01:17:33,866 --> 01:17:35,828
and I know it now.

1874
01:17:35,912 --> 01:17:38,741
So, get out there and make them
laugh on Christmas.

1875
01:17:38,828 --> 01:17:40,484
Get ready for a big Christmas surprise.

1876
01:17:40,568 --> 01:17:43,662
Now, please, put your hands together

1877
01:17:43,746 --> 01:17:46,792
and help me welcome to the stage
our very own funny lady,

1878
01:17:46,879 --> 01:17:49,839
the real queen of Christmas...

1879
01:17:49,926 --> 01:17:51,539
Are you ready to drop
the curtain if I faint? Please.

1880
01:17:51,623 --> 01:17:53,976
...Aubri Wilson. Aubri?

1881
01:17:55,235 --> 01:17:56,588
Get up here.

1882
01:18:01,851 --> 01:18:06,249
We are going to have "snow" much fun.

1883
01:18:06,333 --> 01:18:07,813
Get up here and slay them.

1884
01:18:10,990 --> 01:18:13,474
This is the nicest
she has ever been to me.

1885
01:18:13,558 --> 01:18:15,168
I don't know what was in that eggnog.

1886
01:18:16,561 --> 01:18:18,827
Hello, hello!

1887
01:18:18,911 --> 01:18:20,481
Let's give it up for Bella Deldomino. Yes.

1888
01:18:20,565 --> 01:18:22,265
Thank you.

1889
01:18:22,349 --> 01:18:24,050
Full house tonight.

1890
01:18:24,134 --> 01:18:27,703
Wow. Um, yeah. It's here.
December. I know.

1891
01:18:27,790 --> 01:18:31,710
Yeah. I can already sense
the stress levels rising.

1892
01:18:31,794 --> 01:18:36,102
Yeah. The most wonderful time of the year.

1893
01:18:36,189 --> 01:18:37,498
You know, when all your loved ones

1894
01:18:37,582 --> 01:18:40,237
are so close together under one roof.

1895
01:18:42,065 --> 01:18:43,414
You know, it's great.
I love Christmas.

1896
01:18:43,501 --> 01:18:44,679
It is my favorite holiday.

1897
01:18:44,763 --> 01:18:45,898
And of course,
I love my mother.

1898
01:18:45,982 --> 01:18:47,900
Okay?

1899
01:18:47,984 --> 01:18:50,816
Yes, she makes my life
a little difficult at times.

1900
01:18:50,900 --> 01:18:52,905
There's one thing about her

1901
01:18:52,989 --> 01:18:55,124
that just really grinds
my gears, and that is that

1902
01:18:55,208 --> 01:18:58,214
this angel woman is just
impossible to buy presents for.

1903
01:18:58,298 --> 01:19:00,605
So, this year, I just gave up.

1904
01:19:00,692 --> 01:19:02,566
I said, "Mother, please just tell me

1905
01:19:02,650 --> 01:19:05,047
what you want for Christmas,
and I will just buy it for you."

1906
01:19:05,131 --> 01:19:06,614
She finally told me, but you know,

1907
01:19:06,698 --> 01:19:09,661
I can't for the life me find it anywhere.

1908
01:19:09,745 --> 01:19:11,097
So, if any of you know

1909
01:19:11,181 --> 01:19:14,143
where I can find better health insurance,

1910
01:19:14,227 --> 01:19:16,229
please see me after the show.

1911
01:19:18,579 --> 01:19:20,323
Yeah.

1912
01:19:20,407 --> 01:19:22,238
I mean, have you ever looked at
your insurance policy?

1913
01:19:22,322 --> 01:19:24,716
I mean, those things, they are
longer than a Christmas carol.

1914
01:19:24,847 --> 01:19:26,416
You are in trouble.
I mean, it's madness.

1915
01:19:26,500 --> 01:19:30,287
It's like trying to decipher
an ancient scroll.

1916
01:19:30,374 --> 01:19:32,074
Anyways, I didn't give up,

1917
01:19:32,158 --> 01:19:34,207
because I am a very good daughter.

1918
01:19:34,291 --> 01:19:35,643
So, I just kept looking

1919
01:19:35,727 --> 01:19:37,210
here and there.

1920
01:19:37,294 --> 01:19:38,472
I looked so hard that I actually...

1921
01:19:40,166 --> 01:19:42,824
...ended up spraining my ankle
looking for it.

1922
01:19:42,908 --> 01:19:44,478
- Audience member: Oh, no.
- Or at least I think I did.

1923
01:19:44,562 --> 01:19:47,086
I was too afraid to go to
the hospital to find out.

1924
01:20:01,753 --> 01:20:03,059
Mike Baxter.

1925
01:20:10,980 --> 01:20:13,504
Too hard. Um...

1926
01:20:15,114 --> 01:20:16,986
Mike Baxter.

1927
01:20:19,292 --> 01:20:22,469
You came back. Why?

1928
01:20:26,778 --> 01:20:29,781
I realized the only comeback
I care about

1929
01:20:29,868 --> 01:20:31,525
is to the one person that matters to me.

1930
01:20:31,609 --> 01:20:34,006
Audience members:
Aw.

1931
01:20:42,446 --> 01:20:43,751
I also had
some last-minute shopping to do.

1932
01:20:43,839 --> 01:20:45,974
Ah. There it is. Yes.

1933
01:20:46,058 --> 01:20:48,368
Your typical male to-do list.

1934
01:20:48,452 --> 01:20:51,240
Finish task that
should've been done weeks ago,

1935
01:20:51,324 --> 01:20:54,069
and interrupt woman
getting more attention than you.

1936
01:20:58,766 --> 01:21:00,989
Thank you so much, everybody.
Merry Christmas!

1937
01:21:03,989 --> 01:21:06,252
Encore! Encore!

1938
01:21:06,339 --> 01:21:09,650
Encore! Encore! Encore!

1939
01:21:09,734 --> 01:21:12,258
Encore! Encore!

1940
01:21:12,345 --> 01:21:14,786
Hey. Um, you know what? Come on
up and join me here on stage.

1941
01:21:14,870 --> 01:21:16,309
You want me to come on stage right now?

1942
01:21:16,393 --> 01:21:17,571
Yeah. Come and join me.

1943
01:21:19,048 --> 01:21:20,832
Yo.

1944
01:21:24,401 --> 01:21:27,491
Audience member:
Woo-hoo!

1945
01:21:28,796 --> 01:21:30,540
I've got some notes.

1946
01:21:30,624 --> 01:21:34,196
Yeah? Did you learn anything?

1947
01:21:34,280 --> 01:21:35,412
What I want most for Christmas?

1948
01:21:35,542 --> 01:21:36,892
An apology.

1949
01:21:38,850 --> 01:21:41,377
I made a huge mistake.

1950
01:21:41,461 --> 01:21:42,767
I'm sorry.

1951
01:21:45,030 --> 01:21:47,424
Yeah. Well, you're
a big action superhero now,

1952
01:21:47,511 --> 01:21:48,689
so I'm sure after your first check,

1953
01:21:48,773 --> 01:21:50,122
you'll just forget all about me.

1954
01:21:50,209 --> 01:21:51,735
I passed.

1955
01:21:51,819 --> 01:21:55,388
I want to be here, laughing with you.

1956
01:21:57,347 --> 01:21:59,482
If you'll have me.

1957
01:21:59,566 --> 01:22:01,090
Aw.

1958
01:22:05,224 --> 01:22:06,878
Mike Baxter, everyone.

1959
01:22:12,928 --> 01:22:16,021
So, uh, for some of you that may not know,

1960
01:22:16,105 --> 01:22:17,849
he was supposed to play a chicken earlier.

1961
01:22:17,933 --> 01:22:19,891
- Rooster. It's a rooster.
- Sorry.

1962
01:22:19,978 --> 01:22:21,243
Just politically correct
for roosters everywhere.

1963
01:22:21,327 --> 01:22:22,984
Rooster.

1964
01:22:23,068 --> 01:22:24,768
Ladies and gentlemen, a round of applause

1965
01:22:24,852 --> 01:22:28,250
for the incredible Aubri Wilson!
Give it up.

1966
01:22:41,478 --> 01:22:43,004
Congratulations on a spectacular
variety show.

1967
01:22:43,088 --> 01:22:44,832
Oh, thank you, Robert.

1968
01:22:44,916 --> 01:22:47,049
Any chance you're free
to join me for Christmas dinner?

1969
01:22:47,136 --> 01:22:48,967
Oh, Robert.

1970
01:22:49,051 --> 01:22:53,011
Oh, darling, we were never
going to work out anyway.

1971
01:22:53,098 --> 01:22:55,669
You don't have children, do you, Robert?

1972
01:22:55,753 --> 01:22:58,846
Hey. Execs love you, Mike.

1973
01:22:58,930 --> 01:23:00,413
They're like the wise men,

1974
01:23:00,497 --> 01:23:02,023
but they're offering one-hour specials

1975
01:23:02,107 --> 01:23:03,938
instead of sheep or whatever.
You did so good!

1976
01:23:04,022 --> 01:23:05,328
Come here, man.

1977
01:23:05,415 --> 01:23:07,594
Oh! Okay.

1978
01:23:07,678 --> 01:23:09,245
And you look fantastic.

1979
01:23:09,375 --> 01:23:12,294
Damon, Damon. Merry Christmas.

1980
01:23:12,378 --> 01:23:14,946
Are you sure about Rooster Man?

1981
01:23:15,033 --> 01:23:17,343
Because I bet we could work something out

1982
01:23:17,427 --> 01:23:19,124
right between tour dates and everything,

1983
01:23:19,211 --> 01:23:20,737
because practically, it's shooting in CGI.

1984
01:23:20,821 --> 01:23:22,478
- So, if you're on stage and--
- Aubri, Aubri.

1985
01:23:22,562 --> 01:23:24,785
Damon, I'd like to introduce you
to Aubri Wilson.

1986
01:23:24,869 --> 01:23:27,005
I think she'd make
a great client for the agency.

1987
01:23:27,089 --> 01:23:28,658
Hi.

1988
01:23:28,742 --> 01:23:30,834
Nice to meet you.

1989
01:23:30,918 --> 01:23:33,620
You know,

1990
01:23:33,704 --> 01:23:36,098
I love the talk.

1991
01:23:36,185 --> 01:23:37,885
And you can have the pick
of any agent you want,

1992
01:23:37,969 --> 01:23:40,189
especially with his endorsement.

1993
01:23:40,276 --> 01:23:41,407
Thank you. I will call you.

1994
01:23:41,538 --> 01:23:42,759
Of course.

1995
01:23:42,843 --> 01:23:44,196
Looking forward to it.

1996
01:23:44,280 --> 01:23:45,632
Ah.

1997
01:23:45,716 --> 01:23:48,284
You were wonderful, darling.

1998
01:23:48,371 --> 01:23:50,938
Oh, it's just going to
break my heart to lose you.

1999
01:23:51,026 --> 01:23:52,726
- Oh.
- Never--

2000
01:23:52,810 --> 01:23:54,467
Unless you decide to stay,

2001
01:23:54,551 --> 01:23:56,730
in which case,
I'll just have to fire you.

2002
01:23:58,163 --> 01:23:59,425
I think if I'm going on tour,

2003
01:23:59,512 --> 01:24:01,123
I'm going to need an opening act.

2004
01:24:02,994 --> 01:24:05,521
I don't know about
an opening act, Mike Baxter.

2005
01:24:05,605 --> 01:24:07,564
I might consider co-headlining
with you, or--

2006
01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:10,483
- It's her.
- Oh.

2007
01:24:10,567 --> 01:24:11,655
- I'm sorry.
- Mm-hmm.

2008
01:24:11,742 --> 01:24:14,005
Oh, my goodness.

2009
01:24:14,092 --> 01:24:16,486
Well, I'm going to leave you two
to discuss.

2010
01:24:16,573 --> 01:24:19,144
And remember, you'll always have a home

2011
01:24:19,228 --> 01:24:21,621
here at the Comedy Club.
The both of you.

2012
01:24:21,752 --> 01:24:24,537
- Thanks, Bella.
- What a darling couple.

2013
01:24:24,624 --> 01:24:27,236
- Oh!
- Oh, Bella.

2014
01:24:32,458 --> 01:24:33,546
Are you serious about going on tour?

2015
01:24:33,633 --> 01:24:35,679
Definitely.

2016
01:24:35,766 --> 01:24:37,553
You'll steal the show,

2017
01:24:37,637 --> 01:24:39,117
but it keeps me from losing you again.

2018
01:24:39,204 --> 01:24:40,948
Worth the trade-off, hmm?

2019
01:24:41,032 --> 01:24:43,211
You know, I'm not like
those Hollywood girls.

2020
01:24:43,295 --> 01:24:45,692
I know.

2021
01:24:45,776 --> 01:24:46,864
You're much funnier...

2022
01:24:48,561 --> 01:24:50,653
...and you're also perfect.

2023
01:24:50,737 --> 01:24:53,482
This is the best Christmas ever.

2024
01:24:53,566 --> 01:24:57,182
So, does this mean you'll wait
for Santa with me tonight?

2025
01:24:57,266 --> 01:24:58,832
Hmm.

2026
01:24:58,919 --> 01:24:59,967
You never answered me at the social.

2027
01:25:00,051 --> 01:25:01,577
Absolutely.

2028
01:25:01,661 --> 01:25:03,576
Merry Christmas, Mike Baxter.

2029
01:25:03,663 --> 01:25:05,796
Merry Christmas,
Aubri Wilson.

2030
01:25:27,513 --> 01:25:30,650
All right.
So, I've got one more for you.

2031
01:25:32,692 --> 01:25:34,433
- Yeah. This is a love song.
- Audience member: Yeah!

2032
01:25:36,000 --> 01:25:37,480
