Donald Calling

At the top of the show, Stephen graciously hands out towels to the audience, who have patiently waited in the rain for tonight’s show.

Stephen surprises everyone by bringing out the ‘Trump Phone’, and actually speaking with Donald Trump on it, where he’s currently in South Carolina gearing up for the primaries. They have a productive conversation and Donald even praises him for the work he’s been doing on the show.

We Have to Help Kanye

The topic of Taylor Swift lashing back in a positive manner against Kanye’s harsh words in a previous awards show is addressed, as well as Kanye’s Twitter plea for help from the rich (notably Facebook founder and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg) to invest one billion dollars into his ideas.

Also, Kanye publically claims that he’s currently 53 million dollars in personal debt. Kanye even addressed his needs by way of a DONDA organizational chart, which was as clear as it was vague.

Interview — Eva Longoria

Stephen welcomes out star of the new NBC hit show, Telenovela, Eva Longoria. He also congratulates her on her recent engagement. They speak of her reputation on social media, how she and her fiancé compete on Valentine’s Day, and even faux-act out parts of her new show.

Stephen: You’re pretty big on social media. You have taken there to put aside persistent rumors that you’re pregnant.
Eva: I love social media. I’m 40, so back in the day you really couldn’t rebuke anything or you couldn’t speak on anything at once.

Stephen: You and your valentine had a very competitive Valentine’s Day?
Eva: Yes. It’s a war on couples. We do games for points, different categories. Like the Newlywed Game, sports, minute to win it games.

Stephen: ‘Telenovela’ is coming up on its last episode, and is based on a Spanish soap opera. You are the star of the soap opera but don’t speak Spanish? You said your family is more American than Bill O’Reilly?
Eva: We are 9th generation Americans.

Stephen: People always say that the dialogue on those shows are always so over the top. No one would be that bitchy or catty with each other. With inspiration from the debate last Saturday, could we act it out?

And they do! Dramatically and hilariously…

Interview — Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer

Stephen welcomes out masterminds behind the hit Comedy Central show, Broad City, Abbi and Ilana. They are currently finishing up season 3 and are now picked up for seasons 4 and 5 via network, which is a very exciting feat for this show.

Stephen: Your characters on the show are real slackers. But you aren’t, you’re producers.
Abbi: Yeah, I feel like we are on the weekends.
Stephen: You can’t possibly smoke one fifth of the weed that you do.
Ilana: Because who needs drugs to be inspired?

Stephen: Do people mistake you for your characters?
Ilana: They want to get high right there, right then. No, no, no. That’s frightening. But sometimes people drop us a gift and it’s the best. And like responsible adults we throw it right away.

Stephen discusses the cultural milestone of them being in the latest edition of Playboy, fully clothed. Ilana’s father ironically tells her that he’s ‘weirdly proud’ of her for it.

They also bring attention to the latest trending topic, rainbow bagels. The bakery that these evolved from is in Brooklyn, NY. Stephen decides to try the bagel, and ends up going for an interesting ‘trip’ into what could be considered the girls world, the Happy Bagel Place. A hilarious skit followed.
