Daily Show’s Williams: The Royals Came Here To Look for a Black Friend

‘They were in town for three days, they saw more black people than I do, and I live in the Apollo theater’

STEWART: "Jessica, What an exciting time."
WILLIAMS: "So exciting."
STEWART: " What's the big take way from the royal couple's time here?"
WILLIAMS: "Seriously, Jon? Like you don't know?"
STEWART: "No, I don't. I'm asking -- Jessica, why do you have your arms folded, is everything okay?"
WILLIAMS: "Because John, look at their itinerary. NBA game, Harlem, the president. John, the Royals came here looking for a black friend."
STEWART: "What? Jessica, that's ridiculous."
WILLIAMS: "Jon, it's the ultimate get when you're in the upper class. The Rat Pack had Sammy Davis Jr. "The Love Boat" had Isaac. Seriously, you think Kim Jung-Un likes Dennis Rodman for his personality? Also, John, what's an Oreo without the chocolate cookies? Just a gross white jizz core."
STEWART: "Not eating those anymore."
WILLIAMS: "Hmm MMM!
STEWART: "But Jessica that's ridiculous. They have black people in the United Kingdom."
WILLIAMS: "Yeah John, they have food there, too, but no one's exactly raving about it. Jon, they went to a one-man show. Even Martin Luther King wouldn't sit through some dude's one-man show. They were in town for three days, they saw more black people than I do, and I live in the Apollo theater."
STEWART: "You live in the Apollo theater?"
WILLIAMS: "Yeah, John, it's rent-controlled."
STEWART: "I didn't know that."
WILLIAMS: "But, look, the timing of the trip is perfect. They saw just how mad black people have been the last few weeks and knew it was time to pounce. I mean, look at the shirt William wore in Brooklyn."

STEWART: "Jessica, I don't understand why you seem bothered by all this. Did you want them to pick you?"
WILLIAMS: "No, I just wanted them to watch my one-woman show -- Jessica Williams, and Will and Kate plus mate."
STEWART: "I'm sorry that didn't pan out."
WILLIAMS: "Me, too."
STEWART: "Jessica, if you want, I'll hang out with you."
WILLIAMS: "What? Eww, no, you're, like, 60 and live in New Jersey."
STEWART: " What? Sorry Mr. Drummond, keep fishin."
WILLIAMS: "Jessica Williams everybody."
