| 0:00.0 | This is The Last Laugh. I'm Matt Wilstein from The Daily Beast. |
| 0:08.7 | Coming up in a bit, we'll have my interview with Laura Benanti, who is probably best known for being a Tony Award-winning star of several Broadway musicals, |
| 0:17.5 | but has a special place in my heart for her just spot-on portrayal of |
| 0:22.1 | Melania Trump on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. She is here to talk about her new solo show |
| 0:27.6 | called Nobody Cares, that she is bringing back to the stage in New York next month, and will |
| 0:32.4 | also be available exclusively on Audible very soon. More on that later. But first, Allegra and I are going to talk about |

| 1:22.9 | Max, which he since said was just something that somebody made up. But I mean, I, you know, I think we were all very curious what he was going to do next, |
| 1:31.0 | if he was going to do anything next. |
| 1:33.2 | And now we have this travel show, which really is like a takeoff on the remotes that he |
| 1:39.1 | used to do on late night, but sort of in a bigger way. |
| 1:42.0 | It's a lot like the specials that he was doing for a while, these international travel |
| 1:45.6 | specials. |
| 1:47.2 | But yeah, it was a long wait for these four episodes, but what were sort of your first |
