oh we are not do that?- sorry what happened?
actual that is my only move unfortunately
I learned a lot
from your movie one of the Things I had no idea that Ahmadinejad had so much
power the same way like I didn't know that Dick Cheney that a vice
president could have so much power until
right - Dick Cheney was in office I didn't I thought that his role was
more perfunctory that was until I saw
this film I was curious - Sure I mean
I don't think he has I mean power in Iran does still lie
with the supreme leader but I think part of the
challenge Ahmadinejad was the candidate that the supreme leader had chosen
so he really he had power but it could be removed and stripped
at any point it was just that
the other candidate the opposition candidate Rowhani
who we call a moderate in the film and a reformer but within the context of
Iranian regime he was a guy that came up through
Ayatollah Khomeini so but a a
Rowhani was the candidate that the supreme leader
did not want and so Ahmadinejad's power and also his power came
to sort of the Revolutionary Guard which is
you know the group that he controls more of
*** I think as sixteen-year each years increases
in terms of - his sentence *** who is
the journalist in the film received the sentence and censure - he got some added and also got
like 24 lashes or something like that - yeah I think 74 lashes
and 16 years
and
I think that's - did you get any lashes - no I didn't
I don't think I got lashes but they did produce a 60-minute style
news piece on me in Iran ran
on Iranian state television which explains
that I'm a CIA and Mossad agent that a
was working with and I actually sent that
to my mother and said how I a Mossad agency hate Israel?
I worked for their intelligence services
but you must get a lot of death threats at The Daily Show and
places like
how do you know when to take them seriously
how do you sorted it out -when they spell my name without an H
usually the death threats that come in with a H you can pretty much
sure like he's gonna have a hard time finding the place
but when they come in without the H
then you know we should hand that to security
because we have It's Pre-9/11 but
I went to school in DC we got like two weeks of school cuz a bomb threat
yeah - and stuff and we thought it was great at the time but
yeah any school you can get a bomb day sure I know when I was a kid
I used stay late and say to my parents like will we have a bomb day tomorrow you know?
【到这里了】and then I was it is a lie well it's actually delayed opening cuz we
just gonna search be a 10
being mad the in-
in exile I missed you have the movies changed his life
how the movie yes arm
is much more american Metro is a light does a lot of this now
cafes don't you know who I am and many shows in the cover the movie like I'm
sorry nobody's on a
are
know he's up the gloomy weather was amazing things about mergers his ability
to
in some ways I think he and I bonded over this idea of being repressive
spirits
he he's able to compartmentalize his experience
to the point where it he was embarrassing he was with us
very often on the seven were filming enjoy and i got very
in jordan and i got very comfortable saying to him you know so
when the interrogator would be over you you'd have his knees
so you would hit you like this margin
mostly get his ring on my head you know okay
would position around and I think myself like mass Campoli Sastre but that's up
didn't really affect Mb
the the family scenes with the ones that couldn watch
or could be around but the East he came in Sac to the movie
after I did my rough edit and then seen in the big theaters and things like that
for him I think you've used as a process a catharsis in
I think he thinks he's on a lotta work with political prisoners and people
that have been held in solitary were made to sign forced confessions
and he believes that the ones who have for whatever reason
chosen not to be vocal about their experience
suffer more greatly and that he I think has used this process
and the process of writing his memoir a as
the way of catharsis in a way of moving through it it was a beautiful to see the
only other magazine about an Iranian exile was actually Shah's White
there's a movie about her did you see that one nine see the shuttle really
nice life that she has an exile
she do it is was a documentary airs at Yankee documentary and she died a
3d floor apartment in Paris and then she's and atomic Marilyn
you don't like Pilates with queen or yeah dictators are not stupid like they
you know whenever they leave they leave with two hundred billion down like
they'd only it's not like they walk out there like
you know Naveen Johnson from the jerk like others take this chair that's all I
need like
they leave daily with a lotta money she claimed fifty million by
your am you could have
said okay I want to direct my first film and I'm gonna do something right my
first film I made a deal hot tub time machine to
I could have well my
I can you define million goodbye by taking on such a serious drama
yeah I did know this other opportunity was there
I immersed myself in this ridiculous
karate in political drama you everybody knows my real love his
quantum physics and hot tubs so
and you know that hurts myelin wish I talked earlier
you he'll do you think you'll be more serious drama you I don't know if marge
is gonna get arrested again in some regions
it depends on how palsy yes outlining how
barbie you're gonna get in terms of doing my film
00 I i actually admire now selling plasma TVs
shows like that how we did this thing is that I A
I'd still hit my head on the table I
dads on I
yeah I mean I i would i would like to have I have a lot of ideas amending
or partially that's why II
decided to move on from the show is it you know
I think I got to a certain point where I thought well you shouldn't stay
somewhere just because
you can and and I still get that Russian one other things about the show that's
really nice
first of all you you know a lot of people other show it's an incredibly
a collaborative environment and it's a very
you know whenever you doing 160 shows a year its you not gonna be there
in full spirit mind every time but what's really nice
is that you know we're not all on the same cycle
that sounds too weird I meant on Aug afta now on we don't all get our players
on the same day so
you know on those days were like I'm having a tough time
chewing through a certain up you know
a event or just not
its so there's always moments of inspiration and then the thing I'll miss
the most i think is that
sorta the thoughtful conversation in the morning
that turns into a rewrite dance party like
that feeling I have as we're tryna you know like like the charlie ago
the events you know we're we're all bereft inward having a very thoughtful
hours in the morning and then finding something by
4:30 or 5 in that rewrite room that still gives us
that stupid childlike
jolted joy that that joy machine thats
the actual being on TV part the actual up
has become sort of peripheral to the experience of making it and I'll miss
the expansion making it much more than
the experience in presenting yeah
now in general have here
employees have am constantly complain about how
a new are Hashmi ese and
even make the mall where mirrors heat they all wear
and I spend the whole I i spend the whole day going
good ideas do into the
matter where it comes from the dollar I just pointed them it's a good idea
Stewart
they really are what like I have to sand I'm it
it sounds like a platitude you know when you can find people that are that
that have that kind of town creativity but also that type of humanity like you
know them
there good fuckin people and
a pleasure to be around in creative environments oftentimes
you don't get that too many people use creativity
and art as an excuse to be an asshole and
and somehow they allow that idea that I'm a fragile artist whose creative
process
necessarily means I must degrade others were being arsons
they're not like that but that humility comes from the top
I mean a it there are very few shows
with bosses who are sole good at being leaders in all three ways meaning
and fun the camera you are clearly our own voice run behind the camera
you happen to be a phenomenal mentor to these people whether you'll take credit
for it on
are not and then and a third way you're the dad. but
right is it secure August now I'm I can you come up behind
the as oh wow
glass alright the Steven Palomares team ground and let nobody like
maybe hook it up I had game tonight his skin is so nice he somehow I like diving
yeah house he slipped down like a baby
real were you conscious them %uh mentoring people when you're there
II that need to you no I mean I don't think it's
its he did not deliver I can jack you know mentoring is
is the I think mentoring suggest a much more
active process its it's the active up
collaboration and recognizing that I'll
you know so much you know I i've worked a lot of different places and i've seen
different management styles and ways that people do it and I think
watch trying to figure out is the energy spent managing troublesome
people the energy span soothing
ridiculous tantrums and outbursts is energy that cannot be spent
cracking a story been energy that cannot be spent
rewriting a joke that all those processes
take the whole goal at the show was to create a system that was
repeatable but not wrote you have because we have to synthesize so much
material
everyday to you need to have a system that's redundant
but not soul crushing so the idea was
can we build a machine that still has room for inspiration and oxygen
but can get people home without breaking their spare
and that's a collaboration and that's a group effort and that can't be done from
one person at the top
like everyone has to kinda decide
we you know the strength that this will be
in in that belief as opposed to a sense that like
a in organizational you know everybody's reading The Art of War
by like I would hold a silver cup because you're holding a plastic cup
it out that shows on the dominant Jim Haven up love to go around there's
another
and applying it to make it as funny as pot that's right to success is a finite
in the thing that bothers me the most in this business and it's the only business
I really no consistency as much in
when I was waiting tables care hiking mosquitoes
were collecting mosquitoes is that someone else's success diminishes your
such a bullshit idea
the idea no I always looked at it and that baby will agree
I do
that that really was the first descent from the audience
doesn't successes in finite
with Google got do why
the plan I in my world there's really two breasts and if someone is %uh
number I get nothing go in some respects
girl success is fine by
I think a metaphor is this by
you know there's enough boobs to go around on help you
on that you know the guys in the business that I've always thought like
wow what a fucking waste that that they've been overtaken by
acidity and bitterness is based on that idea that they're always looking
externally
and never internally and so the general idea is hella like if somebody succeeds
like man that's that's good
that helps us all its and allows for heterogeneity and
a a newly hey at the email online for like the one talking about men
the I
ice should have qualified the
that I'm merely up I'm I think you're right
I think you're right him now I know what I'm gonna
bad you by the way and that's
but you bring up a good point my the
home I'm grateful you're finally gonna hand over some money
and fell I think what you're saying right knee injury I think
more natural gas powered up our dilemma I think he would
Medien and I thought a the Daily Show at the comedy show
but there were moments very as strategic moment the bell-like
where you were active or I went into iraq your activities
help people and I'm Lima bet on the Bears
on time for getting a bill passed am did you
were you very sparing on purpose is to what things you were gonna
make a cause I think we make everything occurred you know
Sat I think there's a confusion between what satire
is and and what activism its it's not
like there are boots on the ground activists who really working day today
satire is a process and when we do the bits on the Veterans Affairs
we don't put it through a separate process in other words we don't tag it
as
this is activism and we're going to use the tools that we use in satire
hyperbole in juxtaposition and ponds and ridiculing
logically you lobbied on their behalf but everything we do is a in other words
up everything that we do that comes from a point of view
is advocating a position or an argument and the argument for position they're
advocating through the VA stuff
is no different than the argument a position that we're advocating through
many other bits it's just that they could attribute
a more direct plea
a baby but it doesn't in other words feel pieces we did for the VA
for the the comedy bits that we did the first act headlines that we did on the
VA
were all put through the same
a refinery process that way that we would put any headline
by you could attribute it much more to you
a news packed or a
a enact in activism
pack maybe just because there was it you would say
fix this how much immediate good because something usually happens successfully
cell that me he it that there was an actual results they are in which yes
bill was passed
I think I think in some ways for hostages shows
the utter impotence I mean one of the difficulties of satire
is it is cathartic but ultimately
a relatively impotent person and
a I can vouch for that day yeah beans its
a you know what I'm talking about it's not
shame shame only go so far with people and you know there's a
a great story someone asked Peter Cook you know who was the greatest Satter
stovall timer what was the great Saturn Peter
our you know had rank them you know but I
and his interviewer sank I think it's Munich
in the thirties bali's billion
no and at Peter cookers yeah they really showed Hitler
and I A hi and that is
and in many respects now the flip side to that is
when satires introduced two cultures and societies
that are unaccustomed to that type fav freedom of expression
and that it can have real real affection like like Papa museum
and must use a teenager and and China anyone
then and Bassem China you
I don't know I don't know who her they would do that
in China do you have any ideas for anyone to I can't imagine anyone wanting
to fill
your your shoes do you have a lead want their own show
every night he didn't for a lot of money
I agree with you lie with my
that present you what you want me over by I do you have any idea the people
you might wanna be there what I wanna see their
is the next iteration up this idea
I feel like the the tributaries have my brain combined with
the a rigidity up the format
I feel like I utilized every permutation of that that I could possibly use
you know you can only go so far with you know for facial expressions and 527
curse words
like there's only so many iterations have that the you can do before people
just go
mmm I I would love to see
the next iteration other like John
oliver was able to you apply are processed to a more considered
the thing in it it's exciting to watch it devolve to
to see it mutate and change and feel different gaps and different ideas
and you know that's the part that I'm sorta looking forward to seeing
doesn't that help in terms of having my words from the legal department
guidelines on learning that you're allowed to use
person the actual words that they cut out so much funnier
sitting in like the legal department are there to help you in a Thursday you
can't use
butthole that you can use taint like
we have an interpretation my
and the brothers conversations is the seriousness
in which they take place because generally it's 50 minutes before the
show and someone will run down breathlessly
go they're willing to give you three dildos but not for
double back into the room in our answers we only have three dollars how do we
distribute diets
you're right there are there are those constraints the first time
