[MUSIC PLAYING] TODD WOMACK: Welcome to day three of the Comedy Week Daily Rundown. I’m Todd, he’s Mark. We’ve got the inside track on some big Comedy Week events and debut videos, and we’ve got some great special guests joining us in the studio. But without further ado, let’s hear our Comedy Week Specials. VITTORIO: OK, you’d like to hear the specials? We got a nice little video from Official Comedy. It’s called “Art of the Cold Call” with David Koechner. He from “Anchorman,” you know, wear the cowboy hat, very funny. That comes with a side salad and yucca fries. It’s a little different, a little bitter. You want a little taste? Vinny, give them a taste from the kitchen. It’s going to be nice. MALE SPEAKER: Master. DAVID KOECHNER: Number one, get them to yes. Number two, the takeaway. Agreement. Yes, nice day, yes. Do you believe in education? Yes. VITTORIO: Also, chef asked me to tell you that we are all out of astronauts singing in space David Bowie. We had a party of 2 million come in last night. They cleaned us out. For something a little different for the kids, we got a WWE fascination with the what of a personality. Spoiler alert, this video contains a screaming goat. So if you’re allergic to screaming goat, you might not want to watch. But the kids like. OK, my name is Vittorio, I’ll be right back and give you a minute to think about it. If you want to watch anything, you just click on that right over here. I bring you the wine list, and the bread for the table, maybe some crayons for the children, OK. Vinny, Italian gibberish. DAN: Well, I think we’re looking forward to the traditional Comedy Week chicken. PHIL: Oh yes. DAN: What a tradition. But more importantly. PHIL: The best thing to come out of England, Mr. Bean is coming back. DAN: The queen, Beatles, no, Mr. Bean. PHIL: I’m so excited. DAN: But don’t do this at home, because it will probably kill everyone you know. TODD WOMACK: And we’re back. Joining us in the studio are YouTube heroes Rhett and Link. RHETT: Honored to be here. LINK: We also heard it was mandatory. MARK DOUGLAS: We will accept both of those answers. TODD WOMACK: Guys, the videos on your channel, Rhett and Link are so funny and creative. And you’re such nice guys. But I think what most people out there want to know is, who would win in a fight to the death? RHETT: Well, that’s actually already occurred. And I won, Link died, but I resuscitated him. LINK: And now I’m immortal. TODD WOMACK: That’s nice. Now it’s time for “Interview Tube.” Our first question, who is who? And can you give us a mnemonic device to help remember? RHETT: I’m Rhett, I am really smart. LINK: And I’m Link. I’m the one with glasses. Glasses. TODD WOMACK: Easy to remember. RHETT: Yeah. And we did make a video for Comedy Week that we want to tell everyone to watch. TODD WOMACK: Bring it. LINK: “YouTube Challenge Challenge.” That’s what it’s called. The word “challenge” is twice in the title, but in the actual video there’s even more challenges. TODD WOMACK: More than two. LINK: Yeah, there’s lots of challenges. RHETT: Well, we took all the Challenges that everyone does. Cinnamon challenge, and baby food challenge. LINK: Tin can challenge. RHETT: All that stuff. First of all, we’ve never done any of them. And don’t plan on it. But we were like, let’s talk a bunch of YouTubers into doing all of them in one video. MARK DOUGLAS: So you guys make really awesome local commercials. How did that start? LINK: We’ve always been inspired by just really bad commercials. You know, used car salesman, 2 o’clock in the morning, has his own ad, dressed up in a chicken suit kind of thing. So we decided to start emulating those on our channel. But we wanted to make sure they weren’t just spoofs. They were real commercials. TODD WOMACK: If you guys were to make a local commercial for YouTube, what do you think that would be? LINK: I would put a llama, and a YouTube logo, and have it talk or something. MARK DOUGLAS: Yeah, because you could fit the YouTube logo right on the side of a llama. TODD WOMACK: Do you guys spend that much time thinking about your other ones? RHETT: No. MARK DOUGLAS: Have you ever saved a business from collapse? LINK: Every single one. RHETT: I’d like to think so, yeah. MARK DOUGLAS: So you guys are sort of jacks of all trades on YouTube. You do music, advertising, editing, directing, acting. How about teaching the viewers a little bit about green screen in a segment we like to call Green Screen Basics with Rhett and Link? LINK: I mean, we have somewhere we’ve got to be. RHETT: Yeah, we’ve go to get going. TODD WOMACK: Great, let’s get started. LINK: I didn’t know this was. Uh, OK, well, first of all, you’ve got to have a green screen. RHETT: And that’s what that is. And then you want to think about any environment at all that you’d want to put yourself in. Like a spaceship, or a classroom, or a spaceship. LINK: And then you close your eyes, and you click your heels three times. RHETT: But you don’t want to click the fourth time. Because at that point, you will open up a hole in the space-time continuum, leading to an evil universe. LINK: Oh, that’s four. RHETT: Like this. And then of course, remember don’t wear green. That’s a very important note. LINK: And then you strike a pose in order to make a fast exit. Do something else with your time. TODD WOMACK: Hey, what did you do? What did you do to our? MARK DOUGLAS: Hey, Rhett, Link. Can you get us out of here? Maybe is there a Apple-Z? TODD WOMACK: Like an ancient incantation or something to get out of here? That was not a cool move. But nice guys. MARK DOUGLAS: Very nice, other than this. TODD WOMACK: Funny, funny guys. MARK DOUGLAS: They know their stuff. I really like those guys. TODD WOMACK: Thank you guys for watching. We’ll be back tomorrow. But come back to this channel at 9:00 PM Eastern, 6:00 Pacific for the stand up night. There’s going to be all sorts of great comedians, even myself. And we’ll catch up with you tomorrow on this show. MARK DOUGLAS: Yep, we’ll see you tomorrow, and– if we can get out here. Maybe go over that way or something? TODD WOMACK: That looks like a less deadly neighborhood. MARK DOUGLAS: I’m pretty sure there’s an evil worm in my ear right now, eating my brain, could just be wax. TODD WOMACK: Get some evil ear medicine or something. I don’t know. [MUSIC PLAYING]
