[Bit 1]

So I don't do a lot of race jokes,

But when I do, I want to make sure a certain percentage

of the audience laughs.

I call it the three-fifths compromise.

[Bit 2]

So, I like -- I still like Michael Jackson's music.

I tried to separate the monster from the artist,

had a little fun thought experiment the other day.

What if the only part of Michael Jackson's body

he didn't bleach was his asshole?

Do you think that's how we got the kids in the van?

It's like, "Oh, I got a little Hershey's Kiss back here.

Come on."

Could you imagine being 7 years old,

you're at Neverland Ranch, meeting your hero.

You've been playing "Galaga" all day.

And then Michael Jackson's like, "Come on back!

I want to show you something."

He bends over at the waist and spreads his ass cheeks,

and it's like, "White guy, white guy, white guy,

White guy, white guy, Luther Vandross.

White guy, white guy, white guy.
