“Dinner Party”

00:02

[glass clinking]

00:04

I just wanted to say, thank you all so much for coming.

00:07

I am so excited for everyone to meet each other.

00:11

Let’s just raise a glass to new friends,

00:14

each so accomplished in their own way,

00:17

not that it’s a contest. [laughing]

00:22

[All] To new friends!

00:25

[glasses clinking]

00:26

[soothing music]

00:33

Oh, my God, that’s the roast.

00:34

I’m over here making a toast, I should be making a roast.

00:38

[all laughing]

00:39

I’ll be right back, okay?

00:43

So what do you do?

00:45

I am a musician.

00:46

Oh, I’m also an artist.

00:48

I’m the Creative Director of RGA.

00:53

We got an ASME.

00:56

It’s the biggest award in advertising.

01:00

They give awards for advertising?

01:05

Yeah, of course.

01:06

What, are you joking?

01:07

Are you joking?

01:09

[Both] Are you joking?

01:10

The climate science that we’re doing today

01:14

has a direct effect on the policies of tomorrow,

01:17

which is what I’m constantly telling

01:19

my research team at Yale.

01:24

I actually submit to Yale.

01:27

I’m a writer. [murmuring]

01:30

Yeah, I write mostly for The Paris Review.

01:32

That’s a review of Paris?

01:37

Oh, I just got a new follower.

01:39

Isn’t that brilliant?

01:40

And so one follower equates to how much in financing?

01:43

Every time I post a photo, I make $50,000.

01:46

You’re a model?

01:47

Yes.

01:48

Wow, interesting.

01:49

I’m just like that

01:50

except I can talk, dance, sing and juggle.

01:51

How many Instagram followers do you have?

01:53

I don’t have Instagram.

01:54

I’m an artist.

01:55

Bullshit, what’s your Instagram?

01:58

[dramatic music]

02:00

You can’t change people’s minds with words.

02:02

What matters today is hard science.

02:05

That’s like comparing apples to oranges.

02:07

Everyone knows an apple a day keeps the doctor away,

02:10

while oranges don’t do shit.

02:12

Oranges are amazing!

02:13

Are you stupid?

02:15

Are you?

02:16

Actually I have the most-read article

02:18

on this website for articles.

02:20

Everyone, I have the most-viewed essay.

02:22

Thank you!

02:23

No body reads essays anymore.

02:24

You know what they do read?

02:25

Commercials.

02:26

Millions of people saw my Geico spot.

02:28

Both of you are idiots.

02:30

My research saves lives.

02:32

How many lives have you saved?

02:33

I’ve played a doctor six different times

02:35

on network television.

02:36

I save lives.

02:37

How many Instagram followers do you have?

02:39

How many what?

02:39

Instagram followers.

02:40

I don’t know what that is.

02:41

Let’s calm down.

02:42

There’s a simple way to figure this out.

02:45

Everyone empty out your wallets.

02:46

Whoever has the most, wins.

02:49

How many women have you slept with?

02:50

How many?

02:52

I’m not gonna answer that question.

02:53

Then you, then you lose.

02:54

Loser.

02:55

Okay, I’ll say.

02:56

I’ve, two.

02:58

[dramatic music]

02:58

I am the face of Lancôme.

03:00

The face of it.

03:02

My agency wrote that Lancôme commercial for you.

03:04

You just read the lines.

03:06

And you call that writing?

03:09

You call that writing.

03:10

You call that writing.

03:11

You call that writing.

03:13

[high pitched noises]

03:17

[heavy guitar music]

03:22

I can improv in Shakespeare if you want to hear.

03:23

Okay, I’ll begin.

03:24

Tomorrow and tonight.

03:26

Send a huge stretch limo to pick me up.

03:28

You know what?

03:29

Make it a helicopter.

03:30

3.5 million followers baby, here we come.

03:33

Zero Feel!

03:34

I wrote this copy.

03:36

Zero feel!

03:37

♪ Wishing you were somehow here again, ♪

03:41

♪ Wishing you were somehow near. ♪

03:44

What is it all about?

03:46

I don’t know.

03:47

Does anyone know?

03:48

[manic guitar music]

03:51

Science!

03:54

Sorry, everybody but the gravy–

03:59

What’s wrong?

04:01

We’re all losers.

04:03

Why would you say that?

04:05

No body cares about what we do.

04:07

I care.

04:08

That’s why I invited you guys.

04:09

I think you’re all so amazing.

04:11

You do?

04:12

Of course, you’re all great,

04:14

each in your own way.

04:16

But who’s the greatest?

04:17

You’re all equally great.

04:19

[all sighing heavily]

04:20

Equally.

04:21

Bollocks.

04:22

[door bell ringing]

04:24

Oh, that’s our last guest.

04:26

There’s another guest?

04:30

Everybody, I’d like you to meet Beyonce.

04:34

[yelling]

04:37

My eyes, oh, my eyes.

04:40

[ethereal music]
