CHAPTER 164

Before that, the line-up for the 9.30pm show on 11 January, 2017 is Jon Laster as emcee, Ryan Hamilton, Dave Attell, Hasan Minaj, Judah Friedlander and Michelle Wolf. Ryan finishes his food and goes on. The crowd claps politely,

Ryan: I feel like I just disappointed everybody. I just felt the whole crowd go, ‘Oh no, this guy, I don’t even know who he is. I was going to give him a chance but we don’t know him. We don’t. Where’s Louis? Where is he? Where’s Chris? Where’s Jerry? We don’t know him.’ Well, you’re going to get what you paid for right now.

Ryan does his spot. He goes home. He’s got an early flight to Atlanta. Dave goes on, but the rest of the line-up gets bumped. Jon goes back on. He tells the crowd not to record videos. He introduces Jerry Seinfeld. Jerry tells the audience he doesn’t care about video. He says to the audience,

Jerry: ‘They’re so special and what they’re doing is such magic. We can’t let it out of the room.’ But it’s not. It’s nothing. It’s jokes. We’re doing jokes.
