It's the holiday season,
  a time that is best spent  with family and close friends,
  which is why,  to talk about the holidays,
  we're joined by my close friend  Neal Brennan, everybody!
  (cheering and applause)
  What's up, bro?
  Hey, uh,  in the spirit of Christmas,
  I brought you a gift.
  That's... that's my book that  I gave to you last Christmas.
  I know. It's great,
  and I don't want to spoil  the ending,
  but he goes on to host   The Daily Show.
  Wow.
  -Thank you, Neal.  -You're welcome.
  Trevor, even though I'm clearly  in the Christmas spirit,
  it turns out not everybody is.
  Parents at a New Jersey school  seeing red tonight.
  They say a substitute teacher  was a real grinch.
  REPORTER: Angry parents in the   city of Montville say the sub
   told their kids   that Santa isn't real.
   And she didn't stop there.   She went on to say
   that reindeer can't fly   and that elves don't exist.
   The bah humbug behavior   was reported to the principal
   by another adult   who happened to be
   at the room at the same time.
  REPORTER 2: The superintendent   there confirmed she was fired.
  Wow, that...
  Yo, that-that's horrible.
  I feel so bad for those kids.
  I feel bad for the teacher.
  She shouldn't have been fired.  She should have been promoted.
  Yeah, but-- No, I mean,  but-but she spoiled Christmas
  for all of those kids. Shouldn't  we let children believe
  in fantasy and wonder?
  No, because those kids  grow up to be adults
  who believe  in fantasy and wonder.
  And the world is falling apart  because of it.
  First, it's Santa is real.
  Then it's climate change  is not real.
  Then it's vaccines are bad.
  Now my girlfriend has polio.
  Thanks, Santa.
  Wait, your-your girlfriend h--
  Wait, wait,  why is it Santa's fault?
  Santa is the gateway drug
  to believing lies  because they're fun.
  And I'm tired of it.
  We're up to our necks  in bullshit.
  The world needs more reality.
  You ready?
  You ready for some reality?
  (cheering and applause)
  All right.
  Here's some reality.
  Cleanse diets don't work.
  (laughter, whooping)
  Lemon juice, honey,  and cayenne pepper--
  that's not a magical elixir.
  That's prison Gatorade.
  None of these new age remedies  are gonna make you live longer.
  My mom is 85  because of genetics,
  not because Gwyneth Paltrow
  taught her  how to steam her vagina.
  At least, I don't think.
  I haven't kept up with my mom's  vagina since I moved out.
  My point is detoxes don't work,
  yet they're a billion-dollar  industry.
  Yeah, okay,  Neal, Neal, I don't...
  Who cares if people do a detox  once in a while, man?
  It's not something that's gonna  actually come back to hurt them.
  Okay, you want to talk about  something with consequences?
  Here we go.
  Hey, everybody,  Alexa is not your friend.
  (laughter)
  She transmits everything that  happens in your house to Amazon.
  If you hired a woman   named Alexa,
  and she said,  "To best assist you,
  "I'm gonna record  everything you say in private
  and send it to Jeff Bezos,"  I'd say to her,
  "Hey, Alexa, get the (bleep)  out of my house."
  (laughter)
  (applause and cheering)
  And yet, we're all scarfing up  Alexas. Thanks, Santa.
  Whoa, whoa, whoa.  How is Santa related to Alexa?
  They are the same thing.
  Someone we willingly  let into our house
  who knows  if we're naughty or nice.
  (laughter)
  That's not holiday magic.  That's surveillance.
  Neal, dude, I feel like  you're just ruining everything.
  Okay, this one's personal.  This is for you.
  Uh, you know how  you're always telling me
  we should go see a movie?
  There's no reason  to go to the movies anymore.
  But-but some films you need  to see on the big screen.
  No, I can pay $25  to be in a theatre,
  or pay nothing,  and I'm in a theatre.
  But there's no popcorn.  It's not the same experience...
  Shh. Black people always  talking at the movies.
  -No, Neal... (laughs)  -(laughter, groaning)
  No, but Neal, come on, dude, no.
  Like, let... let the people  have some fun, man.
  No. Fun is killing the world.
  Facts only.  You ready for some more facts?
  -AUDIENCE: Yeah!  -(applause, whooping)
  Here's another one.
  All wine  kind of tastes the same.
  (laughter)
  (applause and cheering)
  Yeah.
  You can pretend there's  smokiness or a hint of oak,
  and put it in a sexy glass,  but we all know
  what it tastes like--  old-ass grapes.
  (laughter)
  You know who I blame for that?
  Here's a hint. He's fat,
  lives in the Arctic Circle  and doesn't exist.
  Neal, Neal, Neal, I don't think
  I can ever have you back  on the show at this rate, man.
  -Great, then let's go for broke.  -(laughter)
  -Trump's gonna get away with it.  -(woman groans)
  This guy is touched by an angel.  Boo all you want.
  He's not gonna get impeached.
  Listen to me.  He figured out a way
  to cheat on his pregnant wife  with a porn star and a playmate,
  then cover it up with hush money
  in the middle  of a presidential election,
  which he lost  by three million votes
  and still won.
  (laughter, groaning, applause)
  He's not getting impeached.
  The only way he's leaving office
  is if Democrats beat him  in 2020,
  which brings me  to my next stinger.
  Democrats aren't gonna beat him  in 2020.
  Whoa, whoa,  whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
  Go ahead, "Whoa, whoa, whoa"  all you want,
  but in your heart you know
  that Democrats will trip  all over themselves
  -and blow it somehow.  -Neal,
  why would you say  something like that here
  in front of all these  snowflakes? Why, Neal?
  (laughter)
  Because Republicans buy  into their candidate.
  Show the Republicans  any old white man,
  and they're good to go.
  Democrats are so picky
  when it comes  to presidential candidates.
  Democrats are like your  fussy friend at a restaurant.
  They got too many questions,  too many substitutions.
  They're like,  "Can I have the fried chicken,
  "but instead of fried,  can it be grilled?
  And instead of chicken,  can it be fish?"
  (laughter)
  "No? Then I'm ordering the  Jill Stein as a protest order."
  -(laughter)  -So let me get this straight.
  You think  all of that will be fixed
  if we just tell the kids  the truth about Santa?
  Yes, buddy, because the truth  is always better.
  Kids, let Uncle Neal chat  to you for a minute.
  (laughter)
  Santa didn't bring you  those gifts.
  Your parents paid for them.  How?
  By working their fingers  to the bone
  at a job they hate  that doesn't pay them enough.
  So they go into debt to put  a smile on your little face.
  A debt  which has compounding interest
  that they will never truly  get out from under.
  (laughter)
  It just grows  and grows and grows,
  weighing them down  for their entire life
  until they are finally freed  from their obligations
  by the sweet release of death.
  (laughter, groaning)
  And that, children...
  is the true meaning  of Christmas.
  (laughter,  applause and cheering)
  Neal Brennan, everyone.
