♪ ♪ ♪ >> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY.
WE'RE BACK WITH ONE OF THE STARS AND COCREATORS OF "BOB HEARTS
ABISHOLA," COMEDIAN GINA YASHERE.
YOU HAVE A NEW BOOK CALLED "CACK-HANDED: A MEMOIR."
YOU WROTE THIS OVER QUARANTINE?
THAT'S VERY PRODUCTIVE.
>> I DID, YES.
I DIDN'T-- YOU KNOW, QUARANTINE HAS BEEN HORRIBLE.
BUT AT LEAST IT MADE ME SIT DOWN IN ONE PLACE AND KNOCK THIS BOOK
OUT.
>> Stephen: FOR THOSE OF US-- THAT SOUNDS LIKE A BRITISH TERM
THAT I WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND.
WHAT IS CACK-HANDED.
>> IT MEANS MANY THINGS.
ONE IS LEFT-HANDED, WHICH IS WHAT I AM, AND ALSO MEANS
AWKWARD AND CLUMSY, WHICH IS A TERM DEFINITELY WE'RE BURDENED
WITH AS LEFT-HANDERS THAT WE'RE AWKWARD AND CLUMSY.
I DID SPEND MOST OF MY LIFE BEING THAT.
NOT BECAUSE OF ME.
IT'S BECAUSE OF WORLD IS RIGHT-HANDED.
EVERYTHING IS MADE FOR THE RIGHT-HANDED.
IF I'M AT A BAR AND A RIGHT-HANDED PERSON PUTS THEIR
DRINK NEXT TO ME, I'M LEFT-HANDED, AS I MOVE YOUR HAND
I'M KNOCKING YOUR DRINK OVER AND I'M THE CLUMSY ONE.
BUT I'M NOT.
IT'S YOU GUYS.
IT MEANS AWKWARD, CLUMSY, LEFT-HANDED.
AND ALSO IS ANOTHER WORD FOR POO, BECAUSE IN MANY CULTURES
THE LEFT HAND IS THE HAND USED TO WIPE YOUR BUM WHEN YOU GO TO
THE TOILET.
SO KAKA, LEFT-HANDED.
>> Stephen: THERE IT IS.
ONE OF THE THINGS I FOUND OUT ABOUT YOU IS YOU ARE A BIT OF A
BADMINTON FANATIC.
AND I NEVER MET ANYONE WHO DESCRIBES THEMSELVES AS A
BADMINTON FANATIC.
HOW DOES ONE BECOME FANATICAL?
BECAUSE IN THE UNITED STATES, IT'S LIKE OLD PEOPLE DO IT IT AT
RETIREMENT HOMES.
>> NO, IT'S NOT, STEPHEN!
THIS IS THE THING, EVERYBODY THINKS IT'S OLD PEOPLE PLAYING
IN THE GARDEN.
NO, IF YOU WATCH THE REAL BADMINTON PLAYERS, THE ASIAN
BADMINTON PLAYERS, IT'S A SERIOUS, SERIOUS SPORT.
I PLAYED IT IN ENGLAND.
I PLAYED IT AT SCHOOL AND I LOVED IT.
I CONTINUED TO PLAY AFTER SCHOOL AND I HAVE BEEN PLAYING ALL MY
LIFE.
>> Stephen: YOU WERE "THE DAILY SHOW'S" BRITISH
CORRESPONDENT FOR A YEAR.
>> I WAS.
>> Stephen: I'M JUST CURIOUS, DO YOU HAVE ANY OPINION ON
WHAT'S GOING ON BETWEEN HARRY AND MEGAN AND THE TABLOIDS AND
BUCKINGHAM PALACE?
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON HOW THIS IS PLAYING OUT?
>> DO I HAVE AN OPINION, STEPHEN?
DO YOU HAVE TIME?
>> Stephen: YES.
>> OKAY, LISTEN, BUCKINGHAM PALACE IS RACIST.
THAT'S A FACT.
>> Stephen: I'LL WRITE THAT DOWN.
"BUCKINGHAM PALACE IS RACIST."
>> WE KNOW IT'S RACIST.
LOOK AT THE WAY THE PRESS TALKED ABOUT MEGHAN MARKLE.
SOME OF THE HEADLINES THAT THEY CAME OUT WITH-- ""ALMOST
STRAIGHT OUT OF COMPTON."
OUT OF A BRITISH NEWSPAPER.
I'M NOT LYING.
FROM COTTON PICKING TO THE ROYAL PALACE.
THIS WAS AN ACTUAL HEADLINE.
AND THEY-- OH, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RACE.
IT'S JUST THEM DISCUSSING THE COLOR OF THE BABY.
IT'S-- I'M GLAD IT'S ALL OUT IN THE OPEN.
I'M GLAD THAT THEY DID THE INTERVIEW.
PEOPLE ARE SAYING IT'S INAPPROPRIATE.
IT'S RIDICULOUS.
IT WAS TIME FOR THAT TO COME OUT IN THE OPEN.
AND NOW THE PALACE HAS TO RECKON WITH THEMSELVES, AS DID PIERS
MORGAN, AND I'M GLAD HE'S GONE.
WHAT A MAN-BABY ( LAUGH )
>> Stephen: I WAS GOING TO ASK ABOUT PIERS MORGAN, BUT YOU BEAT
ME TO IT.
WELL, GINA, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING ON.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
BUY THE BOOK, AND WATCH "BOB HEARTS ABISHOLA" MONDAY NIGHTS,
CBS, 8:30, 7:30 CENTRAL.
>> Stephen: WE WILL.
THE BOOK IS "CACK-HANDED."
AND "BOB HEARTS ABISHOLA," CBS, MONDAY NIGHTS, 8:30.
I HAVE TO WATCH MY BACK HERE.
GINA YASHERE, EVERYBODY.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
>> THANK YOU, THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
>> Stephen: THANKS SO MUCH.
