Original subtitles

I have a minute to get on stage? Pretty much.

I thought I had 15 minutes. No.

I'm just going where I'm supposed to go. I listen to Viacom.

Does he laugh at me? No. Yeah, no--

Bill Burr, they make you fill out W-9s?

I don't do that. Pay me under the table, cash.

That's how Steven Brody Stevens does it. Yes!

ANNOUNCER (O.S.) Ladies and gentlemen, Brody Stevens!

Yes, everybody!

South beach, let me hear you!

Positive energy, got the audience going.

Now I'm gonna go get something to eat.

Where's the exit? I gotta-- I gotta-- I'm lost.

How do I get out of here?

( ALARM RINGING )

Ready? One, two and three.

Yes!

Enjoy it!

Who knew two years ago that I would spend 17 days in the UCLA Psych Ward?

Who knew that I would do a half-hour in Boston and crush it?

Who knew that I would go to Arizona and reconcile with my good friend Teina?

Who knew that I would be closer with my sister?

I fought with my sister Stephanie for years...

and we're back together thanks to this adventure, this journey.

Mom, I'm doing great. I'm walking on South Beach right now.

I'm in the water. Can you believe that?

If you suffer with depression at any level, get help.

Let people know you're not feeling good.

I told everybody, I'm not feeling good. I need your help.

And people want to help. They want to be there for you.

I love you. I love Daisy. I love Stephanie.

I love my family. I love Comedy Central.

I love my doctors, my therapist, my friends...

Teina, the San Fernando Valley.

I am back, Mom and d-- oh, you gotta go.

Your dog wants her breakfast. Okay.

That was my mom.

Buddy Hackett once told me...

comedians feel pain more than most people, because that's our trade.

We don't sell furniture, we don't sell cars, we sell our emotions.

Brody has gone through some terrible [BLEEP]...

but look where he's at now?

He's got his own show and his own stand-up special.

I mean, he lost some battles but he's winning the war.

Hey, everybody, Brody Stevens here, your guru to all things...

Oddball Comedy and Curiosity Festival.

Dave Chappelle, Flight of the Conchords...

flip-flopping with me...

on the second stage.

This is big! Yes! You got it!

What a round of applause. I didn't ask for that...

but I will accept it.

I'm walking through the audience with Jesus.

That's what I do. Two Jews hanging out.

Arms crossed, negative energy. What's going on here.

May be anti-Semitic, that's what I'm picking up on.

Sorry for spitting on you. You got it.

This is fun, right?

Brody, this is so cool.

I come to every show early to watch you every show. I love it.

You're like a master crowd worker.

You think so? Yeah.

Will you bring me up later on the main stage?

Are you serious? Yeah, of course.

That'll be great. Hype 'em up for me.

Okay.

The Oddball Festival has landed.

And tonight, we got a great host for you.

Let's give him a nice, huge ovation!

Say hello to Jeffrey Ross!

( CROWD CHEERING )

Hey, it's Jeff Ross again. And we're still here.

It's my dressing room, Brody.

Oh. Oh, is it?

You have to admit, you like being here backstage.

It's Sunday, normally you're home watching Murder She Wrote.

You guys look like sisters.

They look like sisters. We do, totally, right?

What-- you stop that.

So gross.

Stephanie, wave to the camera.

We did it.

We've come full circle. Right, Stephanie?

Yeah,--

Enjoy it! Say that, Stephanie.

Go, "Enjoy it." Enjoy it.

Little louder. Enjoy it!

Enjoy it.

A little more, Stephanie. Enjoy it!

Enjoy it.

Yes!

Right, Stephanie? Yes.

I'm gonna pick up Venus...

and we're gonna have a little date.

I was feeling down, thinking that I would never find a woman who's into me.

Venus was laughing at my jokes.

We talked out on the patio at the Comedy Store.

We've done the coffee. We've done the lattes.

We've done the tea. We've done the muffins.

Let's see what happens.

( LOUNGE MUSIC PLAYING )

Cheers. Cheers to our first date.

Our first date and health.

You look good. Thank you, you look great, too.

Thank you. I like your glasses.

You like my glasses? Kind of dorky, but--

What do you mean dorky?

I'm going with like Weezer, I'm cool.

I'm trying to keep up with the kids.

A lot is-- Oh, don't keep up with the kids.

Don't keep up with the kids? No.

Why would you say that?

You're a sexy, silver fox. I'm a sexy, silver fox.

Like a George Clooney. Yes.

George Clooney, definitely.

Like a Bill Willis-- Bruce Willis.

No, Bruce Willis.

Ahh...

So tell me, mister, I know what you do for a living.

Tell me more about personal life.

I would say that number one, I'm American. Mm-hm.

Number two, I'm a human being.

Number three, I'm Jewish and number four, I'm Aryan.

You're what? White.

Oh.

I say Aryan, it's funny.

I guess I'm mixed up with that water bottle, Evian.

I'm like, wait--

Evian, Aryan.

Does your family speak Yiddish? Like Fran Drescher?

My aunt's-- I have a kosher--

Is kosher different from Yiddish?

Mm-hm. I think it's a--

I speak kosher.

I don't think that's a language.

Thank you very much.

You're welcome.

So, I'm just curious, like you've been out of the game for a long while.

I've been out of the game for a while. Uh-huh.

This is a start in the right direction...

a dinner with a beautiful woman, who I trust... Thank you.

and I'm open with.

I told you that I take medication. I take Lexipro. I take Latuda.

I take Lamictal. I take Klonopin and I take Zocor.

God, a freakin' cocktail.

That's a cocktail.

I got kicked out of two Starbucks. My friends called the cops.

They were saying, "Brody, we're scared for you. We're scared for you."

Got a lot of issues, huh?

They do. Oh.

Oh, I do? Yeah.

What do you mean?

Hilarious.

I feel like I can be honest with you.

Yes, you can.

I'm just saying that you have a lot going on in your life.

Do you accept me for that?

You are pretty normal in Hollywood standards...

so I think you're fine.

Yes, mister?

Are you looking to settle down?

It would be nice to have something serious.

I actually want a real man.

I'm a real man, I'm 43.

I know.

You have a great smile.

You must be told that every day.

Um, thank you, I think it's because of four years of braces.

I had braces. Really?

Yeah... do I have stuff in my teeth?

No, you look-- you look good.

Do I have stuff in my teeth?

No, you don't. You're fine...

but you're not getting laid tonight, sorry.

I'm not trying to get laid.

You're cute, really cute.

Can you scratch my back a little bit?

You have beautiful nails.

Thank you.

We'll go for a walk. Mm-hm.

And then you can come with me. What do you want?

I'll buy you a stuffed animal.

That's so tacky.

What do you-- you want like a miniature Oscar?

No, I'm a simple girl. Okay.

Feels great to be walking down such a famous boulevard with a sexy girl.

You are very pretty. Thank you.

What am I? You are very pretty.

Well, thanks, man. She's gorgeous.

She's gorgeous. Gorgeous.

Thank you, baby. Go have fun.

Thank you. Thank you.

How did you feel when he came up to me and said I'm gorgeous?

It made me jealous. I'm like, "Excuse me?"

You were jealous? Hi, ladies.

Hi.

Enjoy Los Angeles. Enjoy.

Bye-bye. Bye.

Oh, look, Venus.

Venus and Serena, oh, my sisters.

Do you play tennis? My sister plays tennis.

How is she like? She's like me, except she has--

She's hairy? She's--

And bald? Ah...

Don't make fun of my hair. Sorry, sorry.

You're cute. I'm cute?

Do that again.

This is a culmination of a lot of work, thought process...

a lot of ups, downs, and why not have a party to celebrate?

Combine it all in...

Stop the music all together.

Who didn't visit me in the hospital?

You had 17 days to get to the fourth floor of the UCLA psych ward.

I was waiting for you.

Jesus visited me. Guys, give him a nice hand. Come on up here! Come on up here.

This isn't Jesus. This is Kevin.

This is Kevin.

I took my meds today and I'm not high right now.

And I know this crowd is weirded out by this.

( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING )

Someday it might be.

* Happy birthday to you

I gave it all that I know.

Guys, get some cake, enjoy. Thank you very much.

( SOFT MUSIC CONTINUES )

Hello, and welcome to Whoopsie Daisy!

The Brody Stevens: Enjoy it! blooper special.

From the very first episode, when Brody stopped taking his meds cold turkey...

and ended up in a psych ward for 17 days.

America hasn't stopped laughing at this clown prince of bad decisions.

Sometimes what happens behind the scenes is funnier than what happens on screen.

Let's have a look at some of these hilarious screw-ups.

What the [HORN HONK]? What the fudge?

Where are you goin--

I spit on yo-- I didn't mean to spit on you. I'm sorry.

You be-- you be yourself and don't worry about wh--

Oh, [BLEEP]! I had that. Let me do it again.

Oh, [HORN HONK]! Sorry, Miles... for cursi--

Sorry, I apologize.

Boy, looks like somebody needs to go back to acting class.

You can go aloe. You can go natural.

You can go hypo-- hypoallergin-eretic.

Hypo-allergerenic.

You can go natural. You can go aloe.

There are hyper-generetic.

You can go aloe. You can go scented.

There are hypo-- hypo-allergerenit.

Brody, come on, it's not that hard to annunc-icate.

( DANCE MUSIC PLAYING )

What the hell are we watching?

Zach! I need you! Zach!

Drew, reach out my hand...

and fall down the [SHEEP BLEATING] hill?

Zach!

Whoa! Bet they heard that one all the way in the Valley.

If you don't want to be here, get the [ELEPHANT ROARING] out.

Writers are replaceable, I'm not.

Well, I remember the first time Mary Tyler Moore said that to me.

Well, there you have it, season one.

Let's hope there's a second season, so we can come back and do this again.

I'm Dick Van Dyke, good night and remember...

Enjoy it!

Let's go.

We've gone through a long journey...

and now, it comes to the end.

CAMERA (O.S.): What advice would you give Brody for his career?

I'd say calm down.

When I started doing stand-up...

I used my own neurosis...

to fuel being on stage.

And when it goes great, you're like, "Everyone loves me."

And when it goes bad, you're like, "I'm a [BLEEP] piece of [BLEEP]."

It's better to try to find balance.

This could be something that...

he's all the better for...

because he's come out the other side.

Watch your step.

JACKIE (O.S.): He was lucky that it happened...

that he finally was able to face what was going on.

Steven's still angry at certain people...

but he's beginning to understand himself a little more.

The truth of it is, is that he's a very dear friend...

and he means a lot to a lot of people.

I would really like to see Brody settled...

and at peace with himself.

All of us have good and bad parts.

We have to acknowledge them and own them.

CAMERA (O.S.): If there was another season of Brody's show...

Do you think the format would need to change?

No, I think it's a simple thing... re-cast Brody.

All you gotta do is get Stanley Tucci with a prosthetic...

and you got yourself a new Brody.

Yup, I did it!

We made it full circle.

Brody got knocked down and he picked himself up...

with the support of his friends and medication.

Lamictal, eye brows growing back...

I don't see a scar. Who's got a scar? Not me.

Ten percent gay, you got it! ( VESPA HORN BEEPS )

And I don't care what... ( BEEPING CONTINUES )

you think about that. Yes! ( BEEPING CONTINUES )

Oh, it's Zach. I'm talking to the camera.

This is my moment! Brody Stevens: Enjoy it!

Comedy Central's first drama! ( BEEPING CONTINUES )

Zach, I'm talking to the camera.

I know, but let's go.

Zach, I appreciate, you know, everything you've done for me.

Thank you for being a friend.

Thank yo-- ( LOUD BEEPING )

Come on, let's go.

Thanks for the offer, Zach...

but I got my own Vespa. Yes! Whoo!

( MUSIC PLAYING )

( HORN BEEPING )

Let's go!

Ow!

You okay? I'm okay.

You all right? I'm okay.

( MUSIC CONTINUES )

43, right?

Hey, I'm a big fan, big supporter.

I book all over this town.

I got a lot of contacts, so call me.
