[cheers and applause]

� Welcome to "Bring the Funny"!

[cheers and applause]

Tonight, we're bringing you comics

from all over the globe and all over the comedy map.

I'm talking sketch, stand�up, variety.

You name it, we've got it.

At the end of the show,

our judges will choose six�� only six��

to move on to the Comedy Clash round.

So, let's say hello to the three people

who bring the funny 24/7.

First up, he's a hugely successful stand�up,

actor, TV personality, author.

Give it up for Mr. Jeff Foxworthy!

[cheers and applause]

Next, she's the queen of the Tweets,

the grande dame of the 'Gram,

and a straight�up viral vigilante,

everyone please say hello to miss Chrissy Teigen!

� Whoo!

� And finally, he puts the "fun" in funny,

the "me" in comedy, and the "ha" in Steve Harvey,

it's Kenan Thompson!

� Oh, I think I'm looking forward to some good jokes.

I can't even get through it!

I'm looking for the funny.

� So, are y'all ready to meet your first act?

� Yes, please.

� Well, this act is cut from the same cloth

as some of the greats and will leave you in stitches.

Here's Randy Feltface.

� [British accent] Anyone in there?

Can I get large fries?

Maybe a��a soda?

Anyone?

Anyone in there? Woooo!

Hello, my name is Randy.

I'm a comedian from Australia.

Just a tiny little country town

in the middle of nowhere.

Morning, Gary!

As soon as comedy became an obsession for me, uh,

I started performing as often as possible.

Any family gathering,

I would be doing comedy routines.

And they loved it!

Particularly Mum.

She's a huge inspiration for me, my mother.

She would always say to me,

"Randy, you can achieve anything.

Anything is possible."

� The best advice I ever gave my child

was to get a real job.

� And here I am.

I'm very, very, very lucky to be here.

To be honest, I just want to make my mum proud.

� He's not gonna win. [grunts]

[laughter]

� Oh, yes. [laughing]

� Wow!

"Bring the Funny"!

� [laughing] � Yes!

Look at you beautiful people!

Am I looking at you? My eyeballs aren't real.

I have no idea what's happening.

Uh, I'm from Australia, and in case you're wondering,

yes, we all look like this.

But I'm so excited to be here in America!

I love it here! You guys are awesome!

I love my sports.

You guys love your sports.

You know my favorite spectator sport?

Line rage.

You know how, in the supermarket,

you can boop your own stuff?

Yeah?

That's line rage in action right there.

Yeah.

I just love watching impatient people

standing in line losing their minds!

[laughter]

'Cause we got so sick of watching other people

slowly scanning our goods, we're like, "Give me that!

Let me do it!" [beeping]

That's how you do it. [rapid beeping]

Not getting old here! Check this out.

[beeping]

Wait. [beeping]

Right, so I'm standing here, right?

I'm in the line.

There's a man standing in front of me

with impatient veins of fury popping out of his neck.

Just... [growls]

There's��there's like six self�checkout machines.

Two of them are broken,

because two of them are always broken for some reason.

The four people

using the remaining self�checkout machines

had never done it before.

How does that even happen?

We've had them for years!

I was giggling like an idiot.

The guy in front of me was having a stroke

while, simultaneously,

four people all just stood there going...

[laughter]

[beeps] Ooh!

[beeps] [goofy exclamation]

And the guy in front of me just lost it.

He was like, "Oh, come on!

This is ridiculous!"

Turning around to me to try to absorb me

into his bubble of hatred.

"Can you believe this?"

Like it's the greatest injustice

he'd ever encountered.

It's a supermarket queue, buddy.

Relax.

You guys have been great! Thank you very much!

Good night, thank you!

♪ ♪

� Hello, class.

Today, we're studying the anatomy of a comedian.

This specimen is Michael Longfellow.

Let's start up top. Cranium.

The shape of it indicates

a fair amount of brain activity.

And maybe he wore hats a little too tight in middle school.

Records do show he went to Arizona State University

and got an English degree.

Boy, I bet that's really busted down the doors, huh, Mike?

Do the banks have a vault big enough, Mike?

Like many people except for my uncle,

he has two hands.

His hands are calloused from holding a microphone

two to three times a night for the past six years.

Can you imagine?

It's my opinion that Michael is indeed ready

to bring the funny.

Don't mess this up for us.

My first memory is showering with my father.

� All right, Kenan.

� Overall, I thought it was great.

But my only negative, I would say,

is that it's hard to make everything clear

when you have music as a distraction.

Sometimes the guitars, pianos,

they seem like crutches.

� I'm with Keenan.

When I saw you come out with a guitar and a saxophone,

I can't say that I felt a tingling in my nether regions.

Uh, but when you sing,

you have to be extra careful sometimes to enunciate.

� Yeah.

� You have to understand the words in order to laugh.

'Cause there were a couple of times I lost the words,

and when I lose the words, I lose the joke.

� Hey, you know what I'm saying?

It's music time.

Um, you're�� you're an amazing musician,

and you're also very funny in between,

and that's exactly what we're looking for

in this competition.

Because if you're gonna step out

of just the stand�up, you know, genre

and do something different,

then we want it to still encompass funny.

Like, that's the main goal here,

and the fact that you picked a riff as opposed to a song

that you had to stay dedicated to in time

so you could be reactive,

it goes to show you that you're an amazing stand�up as well.

So those two worlds collided brilliantly for me.

Great job. � Thank you.

[cheers and applause]

� Okay, so first, Morgan, I love the self�deprecating

when you say that guitar comedians

are the most respected of all the comedians.

[stammering]

[cheers and applause]

Comedians, we're a little bit snobs about stuff,

and maybe guitar�playing comedians

are not our favorite.

That being said, you, like, have this little riff

like it's a real radio song.

And you're doing funny stuff

and you're having to react

because you don't know what our answers are gonna be.
