The following program is brought to you in part by UBC, United Broadcasting Communications.
Live from the syndicate at UNT, it's late night at North Texas with Brandon Beckbar.
Up tonight, late night intern Ariana Henderson, comedian Stephen Taylor, and a musical performance by Kenny Davis.
I'm Tony Graham, and now here's your host from Parts Undone, Brandon Beckbar!
Hello and welcome to Late Night at North Texas!
I am your host, Brandon Beckbar, and I do have to say I am starting to get a little scared of North Korea.
Cody, it's getting up there.
I mean, we're just hanging out, being in America, all of a sudden they show up with their duct-take Lego nuclear bomb start threatening at us.
I think, you know, if they do that, we're just going to have to go to war with them, you know?
Send everybody. Send me. Send me and a Lunchable. I'll get it done in four hours.
Lunchable is just in case. It takes longer than that. I get a little hungry.
As a spy, you have to get your Lunchable. It's a pizza one, so there's sauce and spreader on it.
Those are good, right? I had one last week. It's pretty good.
Pizza Lunchable? It is good.
Lately, the Rutgers basketball coach was fired. I don't know if anyone saw this. Mike Rice got fired.
Once footage leaked of him throwing basketballs at players during practice, yelling obscenities at them.
That's horrible.
We see this. It got pretty bad.
So everyone decided around the area that plays basketball to go on this as well, including fines and penalties.
All pickup games in the New York City area have been canceled, and Mrs. Turner's fourth grade dodgeball class has been disbanded.
Seriously?
It's getting pretty intense.
What's the season ticket holder?
For the dodgeball team?
Yeah, season ticket holders.
Those kids are sailors.
Cuss like sailors, they do.
Little baby sailors.
Now, sticking with late night news, we have heard that Jay Leno will be stepping down next spring.
And taking his place will be Jimmy Fallon, actually, as it sounds great.
And then it just goes from there. Everybody progresses as they move on to late night.
Taking Jimmy Fallon's spot on his show is Seth Meyers of Weekend Update on Saturday Night Live.
And taking Seth Meyers' spot on Saturday Night Live is me, right?
Yeah.
That's how that works.
And then Cody takes my spot.
And then everyone's happy, right?
Yeah.
Until spring of 2015, when Jay Leno comes back and everyone loses their job again.
Exactly.
And then we'll just...
He's really good.
All go to TBS.
He's really good at ruining stuff.
And have her own sad rejects show.
But we do have a great show for you tonight.
We have one of our interns here to fill us in on what it's like to be an intern on late night.
We have a DFW stand-up comic here to tickle your funny bones.
And we have a member from our own late night band going to perform a solo for you, the audience.
So stick here at Late Night at North Texas right after this break.
Yeah.
Welcome back to Late Night at North Texas.
We have here 50% of our late night interns.
Ms. Ariana Anderson.
Now tell us, we have to ask this since I've just told everyone 50%.
Where's Kylie?
Well, she's actually at a photo shoot right now.
A photo shoot.
A photo shoot.
She robbing banks again?
A photo shoot.
Okay.
Photo shoot.
We'll interview you instead of the interns.
You're normally coupled together.
Okay.
What is it to be an intern here at Late Night at North Texas?
Well, you have to be really girly.
Yeah, you can.
Do you have an intern?
Yeah.
And you have to like to mess with people.
You have to be okay with harassing people.
We like to do that a lot.
It's like our number one hobby.
Cool.
Yeah.
And you have to know how to mess things up.
Like, perfectly.
Really?
You're perfect for the show then.
I noticed that the two of you have been putting web episodes out like twice a week.
It's more than I've ever seen anybody do on Late Night.
It's awesome.
And you have one here for us.
You want to build it up before we show it?
Yes.
Well, actually, Kylie and I got a little bored.
So we decided to play a game of Truth or Dare.
Truth or Dare.
Yeah.
It would be interesting.
All right.
Let's take a look.
Hi, I'm Kylie Morris.
And I'm Ariana Henderson.
And we are the Late Night Interns.
Oh my God.
These April showers are supposed to bring May flowers.
I'm sick of it.
I'm sick of this weather.
It's cold and rainy.
I don't like it.
Mm-mm.
My hair.
My hair wasn't a bun.
But along with April comes April Fool's Day.
Mm-hmm.
And we don't just celebrate it on the first.
No.
Mm-mm.
One day?
No.
Not just one day.
Come along with us.
We're going to play a little game.
You're in for a treat.
Oh my God.
I'm so proud of you.
To go to a complete stranger.
Mm-hmm.
And accuse them of farting.
Mm-hmm.
Are we rolling right now?
Yeah, we're recording.
Okay, cool.
I'm about to get to these studies, you know.
You're nasty.
Why?
Did you just fart?
I did.
I'm sorry.
You're so gross.
Are you serious?
I'm dead serious.
I'm dead serious.
But I heard it.
Like, it sounded like bop, bop, bop.
Like, it was three.
Like, three?
Bop, bop, bop.
It was three.
Bop, bop, bop, bop.
It was three.
That was Simona only two.
I came in.
That was by far probably my favorite.
I can't even.
That was really funny.
Okay.
Okay.
I got one.
I got a good one.
I'm so nervous.
You're making my hands sweat.
It's not that bad.
I want you to go find one person.
This was just one this time.
I won't get back to three.
When you say one person, it means it's like a big deal.
It's going to be really bad.
And I want you to tell them that you are from Denton Middle School.
And that the Sadie Hawkins Dance is coming up.
And that you need a date.
Hi, I'm Kylie.
Kylie, nice to meet you.
Yeah.
I'm actually from Denton Middle School.
And yeah, do I look older or what?
No, really?
No.
You do look very young.
Yeah, I know.
Would you come with me to the Sadie Hawkins Dance?
Sadie Hawkins Dance.
Yeah.
It's for Denton Middle School.
Denton Middle School.
I don't know.
I mean, I would definitely like to go on a date with you.
You seem like an awesome person.
Thank you.
But I don't know if I could do that.
Okay.
So that was by far the most embarrassing thing I've ever done.
Thank you very much.
You're welcome.
Okay.
So since we did dares, all right, let's switch over to some truth.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay, now relating it to late night, of course, if you could have anybody from late night
be your slave for a day, who would it be?
Rob, because he's tall and you reach things that I can't.
And I could just be like, hey, can you, can you get the peanut butter off the top to help
me?
Now it's your turn for a truth.
Okay.
If you had to switch positions with anybody on the late night staff or cast crew, anything,
who would it be and why?
Oh, that's the good one.
It would probably be, there's of course Brandon.
Of course Brandon, back for the host.
My goodness.
He wouldn't want to be him.
Right.
So that was an interesting day.
Pretty interesting.
I don't know if we should attempt this again because her dares are a little out there and
embarrassing as you could tell.
I think she didn't have to tell somebody they farted.
Okay.
Yeah, I got you pretty good.
Very good.
But we're going to go ahead and go back with the rest of the crew and set up for tomorrow's
late night show.
I know.
Yeah.
Thanks for watching.
Bye.
That was interesting.
I'm the one picked to be replaced, so it seems the rumors are true, but that's all right.
Was that a crown on my head?
Yeah, it was.
Okay.
It's usually how you see yourself.
True.
As long as I'm getting it out that way.
Awesome.
Well, Ariane, we appreciate it.
We look forward to seeing some more intern videos on the website and thanks for telling
us exactly what it's like to be a cute little intern.
You're welcome.
We will have live stand-up comedy from a Dallas stand-up comic to, like I said, tickle your
funny bones.
We'll stay with us here at Late Night at North Texas.
Welcome back at Late Night at North Texas.
We will now turn the stage over to a very funny man.
Please welcome Mr. Stephen Taylor.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Hello.
I'm so excited to be here.
How are you guys doing?
Yes.
You look well.
You look well.
What do you guys eat?
I don't know.
I'm trying to eat healthier, guys.
I'm trying to take it one day at a time, but now all my friends, though, they think I'm
some sort of weird health nut, which I don't understand because I'm just like every other
regular, all-natural, organic, cage-free, high-fiber, low-sodium, no-carb, gluten-free,
ovo-lacto, raw vegan vegetarian.
So I'm like everybody else, right?
Like everybody else?
Why do I always get so lightheaded when I tell people that?
I don't know.
I had a bean today, guys.
I had a bean.
Am I crazy?
I don't know.
If you guys are familiar with the Toyota Prius, I'm sure you are, I used to say Prius owners
must drive with two hands on the wheel and one stick up their butt.
And then I got in one and I was right.
They do make you feel better than other people.
Is it the great highway fuel economy?
Is it my now healthier prostate?
Who cares, guys?
Who cares?
I'm in the HOV lane right now.
I'm HOV positive.
It's a good feeling.
It's a good feeling.
I don't know what it is about the Prius.
I got behind the wheel and next thing I know, I was turning it into some light FM and cracking
open a box of red wine and taking an autistic kid to Cheddar's.
What?
What?
Waiter was having none of it.
What do you mean we can't?
You can't just have a cheese plate.
Did you realize where we're at?
And yeah, I did bring my own wine.
Does the attitude just come with the cornflower blue shirt?
I don't know, guys.
I don't know.
It's the worst test drive I've ever been on.
Trying to be like Jenny McCarthy, getting treated like Melissa McCarthy.
I don't know how it goes.
I don't know what it is.
I don't know what it is.
You guys, I've been going to Target, the Target by my house to meet women and buy stuff.
Convenience is everything for me.
And what I've been doing is I'll go in and I'll get like a large bag of dog food with
a really cute puppy on it and I'll carry it around in one hand and I'll text on my phone
and others and other things to send out the signal to a woman that, hey, I'm a moderately
fit dog lover who can maintain a wireless plan, right?
But there's more to it than that.
On a paternal level, I'm also saying, hey, I can deal with our fat baby and deal with
your crazy ass, right?
I can't around a sack of starchy potatoes.
I pay for these minutes at the end of the month.
And that should mean something, guys.
I'll leave you guys with this.
I went to a vegan barbecue recently.
I look like a guy who could get into a vegan barbecue, but it was basically just us rubbing
two sticks together and then eating them.
Thanks a lot, guys.
You guys have been a lot of fun.
Let's have a sit down, have a little talk.
Come join us.
Thank you.
It's been a pleasure to be here with you.
You guys are great, actually.
Very funny stuff.
Very funny.
So are you a Dallas Fort Worth comic?
I am now.
Yes, I originally started in Austin, Texas.
There you go.
I started at the Bell Vita Room, which is a perfect place for my cheesy jokes, as you
guys heard.
How long have we been doing this?
Three years now.
Three years now.
I just got back from New York City.
It was a lot of fun.
Oh, wow.
A lot of fun.
But yeah, I usually just reside in Dallas, locally, perform with all my friends and everything
like that.
Where can we see you in the area?
You guys can see me everywhere.
I am working hard to make you guys laugh.
I mean, from Dallas to Fort Worth, Grand Prairie, Texas.
Texas in general.
You're in Texas.
You'll see me.
Yeah.
You'll see me.
Now, growing up influences, I know that had a,
whenever I started stand up, it had an impact on my style.
Who was your influences growing?
My influence, if you can't sell, was Jerry Seinfeld.
Oh.
What?
What do you mean he likes Jerry Seinfeld?
So, yeah.
Very nice.
Very nice.
And actually, the second time I performed,
I was introduced as Jerry Seinfeld.
Oh, wow.
Not, I'm just kidding.
His name is also Stephen.
But no, your comic is Jerry Seinfeld.
And then here I come.
He's like, yay.
That's not him.
He doesn't look as good as he did on the show.
OK, so this is always fun to ask.
Worst bombing moment on stage, because it happens.
Anytime I find myself doing shows in a bar for bar patrons,
they don't really take to me well.
I'm like an organic banana guy.
And they're like whiskey, mussel-y guys.
So that's usually where I clash more.
But I am desperate to make people laugh.
So I'll work really hard.
So I don't really consider it bombing.
Just working a little harder.
A little harder for the laughs.
Nothing wrong with that.
OK, and you are also a podcast host.
Yes.
Tell us a little bit about that.
I host a podcast.
Me and a fellow comedian, DFW comedian Tim Edwards,
it's called Not So Podfict.
Like perfect, but perfect.
Like the pod that you put.
And then basically, basically what we do is each week
I'll have on a DFW comedian, or actress, or musician.
And we'll sit down with them and get to know them.
And hopefully, since they're comedians,
they should be funny.
I mean, that's the whole idea.
Normally hope, yeah.
If you're lucky.
But it's a free podcast.
Download it on iTunes.
Each week we have a different guest.
This week we have African comedian Kassanboy.
Kassanboy!
Very nice.
And it's on iTunes.
You guys check it out.
Not So Podfict.
OK, perfect.
Check out the podcast.
See, he'll probably be anywhere in Texas.
Yeah, follow me on Twitter at Esteban Taylor.
Awesome.
And I'll be in your city.
Well, Steven, we sure appreciate it.
Excellent, guys.
Awesome.
Stick with us after the break.
And we will have a live performance
from a UNT talent show finalists here at Night Night.
Welcome back to Late Night at North Texas.
And I now give to you, Kenny Davis.
Hey, guys, I wanted to share with you a very special song to me.
It was written by two of my favorite poets, Red, Blue,
or Red Foo and Sky Blue.
And it's Sexy and I Know It.
Thank you.
When I walk on by, girls be looking like always fly, well,
I'm pinned to the beat on the street of my new love freak, yeah.
This is how I roll, and I'm on print pants out of control,
like a Red Foo with a big hat flow, I'm like Bruce Lee,
look at that body, oh, oh, girl, look at that body, oh, oh, girl,
look at that body, I work out.
When I hop on the spot, this is what I see.
Everybody stands there staring at me.
I got a passion in my pants, and I ain't afraid to show it,
show it, show it.
Ooh, Sexy and I Know It.
I'm Sexy and I Know It.
When I'm at the mall, security just can't find a mall.
When I'm on the beach, I'm a speedo trying to tear my cheeks, yeah.
This is how I roll, come on ladies, it's time to go,
and do the bar, now don't get nervous, no shoes, no shirt,
I still get serviced, oh, oh, girl, look at that body, oh, oh, girl,
look at that body, oh, oh, girl, look at that body, I work out.
When I hop on the spot, this is what I see.
Everybody stands there staring at me.
I got a passion in my pants, and I ain't afraid to show it,
show it, show it.
Ooh, I'm Sexy and I Know It.
