Diego Luna: With Everything Going on About Immigration, It’s No Small Thing that a Mexican Is Hosting Such an Important Show

‘I hope you guys will help me if I get — what’s the word? Deported’

EXCERPT:

LUNA: "I’ve never hosted a talk show before, but I will try my best. English is not my first language, so I hope you guys will help me if I get — what’s the word? Deported.
(Laughter)
You know, Jimmy was very smart to hand his show over to me just as Trump decided to go crazy dropping bombs over the weekend. Thanks a lot, Jimmy. Good luck fishing. I hope the fishing is going great, man. 
(Laughter)
We have a lot of fun stuff planned for this week. We booked some amazing guests. We taped some great sketches. And we’ll get to all of that, I promise. But tonight, I want to address an important issue that is happening here in Los Angeles and all around the United States. With everything going on in this country around immigration and the authoritarian policies of Donald Trump, it is no small thing that a Mexican is hosting such an important show.”
(Cheering and Applause)
