| 0:00.0 | New episode of Klein Alley's show is about to begin, but before that can happen, Allie, let's tell the people what they need to know. You mean about San Bernardino International Airport? Of course, I'm talking about the San Bernardino International Airport. Easy, close, and not LAX. And parking is always just five bucks a day, which means it is El Chippo approved. Fly nonstop to Provo, Utah, for all the ski and snowboarding or wives you can handle. And of course, you can fly into my hometown of San Francisco. San Bernardino International Airport. When airports smell great. Da-da-da. Two fighters, K Rock, we are Klein Alley's show. Just radio being radio. Of course, you can watch us on YouTube. And while you're on YouTube, you can check out the evolution of late night because Ben Glebe, who's now in our studio right now, longtime friend Ben Glebe, been on with us before. And we've talked to you over the years when you decided you were going to run for President, Ben, we added you on. You didn't win President of the United States. What? I know, I hate to break it to you. You did not win. But, you know, Election fraud. That's what it is. Right. They stole it from you. But now you will be hosting. Good night with Ben Glebe. It's YouTube's first ever late night talk show. And on a week that Stephen Colbert's show is going away forever, the late show, which has been on CBS forever with uh you know obviously |
| 1:11.3 | Gletterman and then Stephen Colbert that goes away you lose one you win one Ben Glebe win one for the |
| 1:16.1 | good guys coming to YouTube congratulations thank you brother I appreciate that so what |
| 1:20.9 | how did this come about well how did you decide I'm going to do late night and I'm going to do it on |
| 1:24.9 | YouTube I've had this idea for a very long time I've been wanting to do it for years and I just kept being stunned that nobody else had done it. I had done a proper full scale late night show on YouTube. And as Kevin knows, I wanted to host a late night show my entire life. Like since I was like six years old. It was almost pathetic how often he mentioned it. And I would say, Ben, you're now 25. It's not going to happen. You're now 35. It's not going to happen. And here we are. And I just said to- |
| 1:51.0 | He just made it happen. |
| 1:52.3 | You invented the opportunity. |
| 1:53.2 | He made it happen. |
| 1:54.3 | But you kind of started doing it during COVID because what Glebe did, which I found fascinating, |
| 1:59.1 | when every comedy club was shutting down at the beginning of COVID, |
| 2:01.4 | he launched a comedy club out of his living room, but it was in such a way where everyone could watch on their computers, and then you got to see the people that were in, you get to see and hear them, you get to see and hear them. They could heckle you from their own house through. There wasn't my living room. It was the studio on the back of the house, but that's fine. Well, I thought it was your living room. It wasn't maybe initially until we like upgraded. But yeah, and then all of a sudden I've got Bill Burr and Sarah Silverman performing in the studio in my house and full page New York Times stories. And I'm doing a show with John Cleese called Cleese, Glead Me Alone, and he's my comedy partner somehow now, |
| 2:35.0 | you know, the godfather of Monty Python. |
| 2:37.0 | And I knew that I was able to like create these things at a really high scale that |
| 2:42.0 | somehow these visions were able to like come true into reality. |
| 2:45.0 | And so I figured, you know, I'm not being offered a late night show by the networks. |
| 2:49.0 | No one is. They're being canceled. |
| 2:51.0 | It's dying on network TV. |
| 2:53.5 | It's unsustainably expensive. |
| 2:55.1 | It's being censored by government forces. |
| 2:57.9 | And I'm like, what if I can just go and create my own? |
| 3:00.9 | It's like, the first time in history, you can do that. |
| 3:02.8 | And I've got, like you said, all, like, amazing relationships with talent, with people that I've, you know, gotten to know over the years and with this technology I created and the way that I can kind of create this really innovative show. I think I can make something very special and so I decided to do it. Well, and a lot of comedians, it seems, are releasing their specials on YouTube now. Yeah. Like more than ever just because you don't want to, like you get more of the profit and you control more of the content. You're not being censored like you would be on a network. Yeah, you own the whole thing. Yeah, and it's got nothing to do with the fact they're not asking. I mean, they, it's just not, if they said to me, we're going to give you a million dollars to make your special, I'd say yes. |
