- Thank you so much.
I assume you're talking about my chair and me.
- I is. - So, reggie, what's up?
- I've been thinking a lot about tort reform lately.
- Oh, the proposed changes
In common law civil justice systems
That would reduce tort litigation or damages?
- The very same. - Well, what's on your mind?
- Well, you know, I've always been a firm believer
That limiting frivolous lawsuits
Will allow doctors to migrate away
From practicing defensive medicine.
- You're on record as saying as much.
- While screening panels
Comprised of medical professionals
Weed out specious claims, only through litigation
Does the real story ever come through.
- Fair point, but did you read the new york times?
- I read the piece. - Well, then how do you feel
About setting up a governing body
Similar to germany's der gemeinsame bundesausschuss?
- Well, anything that improves both bureaucracy
And the quality of care is a plan I can get behind.
- Hey, we should talk about serious stuff more often.
- Well, I'm always up for a fair exchange of ideas.
- All right. Thanks, reggie.
Well, coming up on the show, sarah silverman will be--
Oh. Light blew.
I feel like alec baldwin. I'm cast in shadow.
- Oh!
Sorry about that, mr. Aukerman.
Light blew again!
Don't worry. I'll take care of it.
- All right, uh, thanks, nick.
[thunder rumbles]
As I was saying, sarah silverman w--
[little ladder squeaking] look who it is.
It's little ladder. Hey there, little ladder.
How are you?
- [squeaking] - what's that?
You want nick to climb up on you to change the bulb?
Ha, ha. I'm sorry, little ladder.
No, you're just not tall enough.
Nick needs to use big ladder to get all the way up there.
- [squeaks sadly]
- [burbling]
- [laughs] yes!
Yeah, that's funny! Of course, big ladder.
Why would I use a little ladder when I have a big ladder?
You know what I mean? Scott.
Will you do me a favor and throw little ladder
In the incinerator?
[ominous chord]
Hmm?
- Yeah. Yeah, no problem.
I mean, it's just an inanimate object, I guess.
- Thanks. You're not a prick.
I don't care what everyone says.

- All right, well, I guess it's time to melt you down.

All right, just stay right here behind this couch.
Everything will be fine.

Or else she's gonna push them.

- Right. - You're in movies.
You were nominated for an emmy.
And I've always wanted to know,
When the limo drops you off at the red carpet,
What does it do?
Does it just keep driving around in a circle?
Or does--you know?
- That's a great question.
I, um, I like to have mine--
I have a chopper air-lift it
And then just hover until I'm ready.
Otherwise, it's like--can be 10 to 12 minutes to wait.
- It's just better just to have that chopper--
[imitating helicopter]
Just right on the carpet, you know?
- Yeah, michael winslow.
That chopper sound was amazing.
- Really? I mean, I don't know.
- Try to do a chopper sound like that.

Is a little dark.

Um, have you seen my foot lately?
You should check my mouth. Uh--
- Scott, are you okay?
- Can you excuse me for just a second?
- Sure.
- Reggie, I'm trying to tell sarah how much I like her work,
But I've got nothing.
You've always had such a way with words.
You gotta help me.

Just take this earpiece, and I'll coach you through it.

Sorry. - No.

- Welcome back to the show. We're here with sarah silverman.
Coming up, we'll have
The world's fastest talking human man,
So that's exciting.
Oh, and, reggie, it's that time of the show
Where you get to ask sarah a question.
- Oh. - Oh, okay.
Um, when you were filming reality bites,
Did you get angry at any of the cast members
For, like, goofing around too much?
- [laughs] that's a great question.
Um, that's actually janeane garofalo.
But you should ask her that.
- Thank you. - Great question.
- Oh, hey, scott. - Yes, reggie?
- You're looking really handsome today.
- Ooh, it's true. - Oh, thanks, guys.
I mean, you know, I don't wake up looking like this.
In fact, let's take a look at a photo of me
Without any makeup at all. - Ooh!
[trombone slide]
- Yeah, it takes a lot of work
To get this face camera-ready every single day.
Let's take a look.
[groovy dance music]
First, jenny the makeup girl applies concealer
To cover my blemishes and bronzer
To give me a healthy glow
And just a little eyeliner
To make these baby blues pop.
I'm allergic to cotton and wool
And can't wear normal clothing,
So my sweater and pants are applied with body paint.
As a lifelong trekkie, I refuse to take off
My spock ears.
I swore I would wear them until chris pine dies.
So jenny adds putty to smooth them out
And round the edges.
But now my ears are too big,
So jenny applies prosthetics to balance
The rest of my features.
Unfortunately, those prosthetics added several inches
To my height, which doesn't match our camera setup.
So that amount is surgically removed from my shins.
Yeowch. I'll get those stitched back in after the show.
[high-pitched voice] looking good--
[normal voice] oops!
We forgot the most important thing,
The electronic larynx that gives me
My trademark voice.
Without it, I'd be just another pretty face
In the crowd.
All right, testing, testing.
Hey, that sounds pretty good.
All right, reggie, your turn.
- [reggie] thanks, scott. See you out there.
- All right, we'll be right back with more sarah silverman
And the world's fastest talking man, stan couples.

Did you have any problems incinerating little ladder?
- Uh... - [squeaking]
- No, no, no, no. Not at all, thanks.
- [laughs] nice. Good.
Hey, I'm having a party this weekend.
You should come. Big ladder's gonna be there.
- [burbles]
- What?
- [burbles] - he can't come.
Got a hot date, huh? Who with?
- [squeaking flirtatiously]
- My ex-girlfriend?
How could you?
After everything we've been through!
You know what? You have to choose.
Me or him. - [squeaks]

All right, scott.
See ya, ladder.

And he's here to set a new world record.
Let's welcome stan couples.
[exciting music]
- [laughs] - how are you?
- Little speed humor.
Hi. Very nice to meet you.
Ahh.
- Stan, welcome to the show.
- Oh, thank you for having me.
- All right, so, stan, how did you get involved
In fast talking, do you mind?
- Not at all. I don't mind at all.
I used to be a door-to-door salesman.
- Hmm. - Yeah, a few years back.
And I found that people were just shutting the door
In my face before I was even done with the pitch.
And so I just started to speak faster.
- Wow.
- And things started to snowball.
And then I was like, hey, I'm pretty good at this,
And I should really look into breaking some darn records.
- So you want to break the record tonight, I hear.
- Yeah, I'd like to do it on television.
- So the most words spoken in 30 seconds.
Is that what I understand?
- That's right. - Okay, great.
So if we could get a 30-second timer--
All right, here we go. - I'm nervous for him.
- I know. - Thanks.
- This is incredible, though. - Yeah.
- All right, here we go. And...Time.
- Oh, man, this is so incredible to be on this show.
It's so ama--it's such an amazing privilege to be
On the show and with two great people here,
And, like, a celebrity and the great host,
And what a crazy set, and you have a talented musician here,
And I'm, like, I'm so psyched to be here.
I was trying to get here really quick, and there was,
Like, traffic on the 101, and so I went down
To, like, fountain, and then suddenly I got back up here
To the-- [timer dings]
- And that's time.
Uh, stan, that, uh,
That--I mean, sarah, I don't know how it was for you, but--
- I don't know if this is some kind of joke, but...
- No, not at all, no, this is-- - I'm not impressed.
- That didn't seem fast in the least.
- Wha--wha-- - it seemed rushed...
- Hurried, maybe. - I guess.
- Well, I think--
That's a fair-- that's a fair comment.
I think what you both maybe are missing
Is the fact that my mouth is moving very fast,
And I think it's unfair to focus so much on the words.
- But--correct me if I'm wrong--
Isn't the record the most words spoken,
Not how fast your mouth is moving?
- Well, I think words are words.
Words, sounds, a sound is a word.
Eek! That's a word, but it's also a sound.
Eek! Right?
- I don't know what you just said.
- Am I swa-- am I talking too fast?
- No.
Tell you what, stan. I have an idea.
Maybe it's just that you're not able to say things
Extemporaneously fast.
Maybe if you were to read something.
- I think that's a great idea. - Oh.
- I think--I think-- - sure.
- I think everyone would benefit from that.
- Why don't we read from chapter nine here?
- Chapter nine. - There we go.
- A good chapter. - [chuckles]
- All right, here we go.

I mean, uh--
- Scott, I have an idea.
- Sure, yeah, sarah.
- Why don't we just have him talk
Regular speed, and then we can speed it up?
- Speed it up in post? Okay, yeah.
I wouldn't mind that. - That is so awesome.
- Maybe we can save this segment.
- That's a great suggestion. - Okay, great.

Just at the normal speed, the regular speed
That's comfortable for you.
