You're listening to Comedy Central. Since The Daily Show finally hired a Black host, we can properly celebrate Martin Luther King Day by asking New Yorkers how they celebrate his legacy. Shut up! Don't interrupt me on Martin Luther King Day. That ain't cool. So, let's do this. Do y'all know what today is?
We're lost.
We're lost day? Do you know what day it is today?
This is Monday.
What did you do today?
Well, today, we just woke up.
We just checked out of our hotel.
Checked out of our hotel. We're going to go get coffee, and we're going to walk around.
So which one of those celebrates Martin Luther King Day? Well, none of what we've talked about so far. 232 push-ups for Martin. So this ain't reparations, but this is enough. That's right. Give me one hand once! Yeah! That's right! What y'all doing to celebrate MLK? Came to New York. Came to New York? That's it? That's all y'all gonna do?
Saw some shows, ate some food, did some shopping.
All right, I'm gonna come back to y'all on Juneteenth. And y'all better have done better. Don't you like when he, like, you know, refused to move to the back of the bus?
Mm-hmm. I can remember snippets through the world news.
He didn't refuse. That was Rosa Parks. Was it? Name a famous MLK quote. I have a dream.
I have a dream. I have a dream.
And what does he say after that? I'm not sure. Name a famous MLK quote. Besides I have a dream. Besides I have a dream. I will pay you one million dollars if you can tell me something else that Martin Luther King said.
He told his children he loved them.
I have a dream that one day, that's all I got.
I have a dream that one day white people will actually know what's in that damn speech. Okay, just name five black people. Eddie Murphy. That's the only black person you know?
Eddie Murphy? Byron Leftwich. Who the is Byron Leftwich? Byron Leftwich is in the NFL as an offensive line coach. Don't nobody know him.
You're just making up names now. So how you celebrate Martin Luther King? Um, not too sure. So that's what he died for, man? For you just to be out here just not doing nothing on his day? No, I'm just kidding. You can do whatever you want, man. You black. We're going to go see the Lion King. OK. It's got King in the tie. I mean, that's as close as you can get. I'll take it. The freedom and liberty to go about and do what we want to do, that's our celebration. See, that's a quote from a black woman right there.
That's right. She earned that. Freedom and the liberty. She earned that.
To do what we want to do.
That's right. It's the lady's birthday. It's your birthday.
How old are you? I'm 50. What? That's what I'm talking about.
