Jeremy Strong as Roy Cohn

You know, he said, if you're a black person, like basically to keep from getting harassed by the police, as a black person, be respectful and don't have your music blasting when we come up to the car. When you come up, when I come up to the car after I pulled you over, I don't want to hear yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. And he says it, right?

I'm trying to get him to stay in that pocket and repeat himself. And Klepper is trying to keep him on the topic of police reform and anti-bias strength. So we're both fighting each other, essentially. And so neither one of us is getting what we want from the person that we're interviewing. And the producer wisely called. He could tell because I was getting mad.

I was trying to make a joke, but I was mad. And it was not—the conversation wasn't going anywhere. And the producer called for a battery change, which is like our move to, like, call a timeout. He'll just lie and say that the camera batteries are low, so we need to swap batteries. Yes, they do do that. And so we went out in the hall and reset for a minute.

And, you know, we have limited time with these people. We don't have all day. And, you know— The idea of me getting mad at him was not going to end in anything funny. And at the end of the day, this is about the jokes and honoring the segment and the story we're trying to tell about trying to fix the police to save the lives of innocent people.

So you just have to go, wow, that was racist, and going back to your business. So I say all of that to say going into my first special, learning where to put that anger and when to play it here and there, and then allowing my curiosities to go the same way that it would when I was pitching stories. Because The Daily Show, as a correspondent...

People talk about Saturday Night Live, man, and pitching to Lorne Michaels and you pitching a big room on a Tuesday morning and your idea either lives or dies right then. Daily Show, a lot of stuff is pitched over email, but then you have a field meeting and you could suggest a topic and then four people in the meeting will ask you three or four things about the issue. And if you don't know it,
