- “All living is just stand-up comedy.” Comedian, actor, and poet ALOK sits down with Jordan Klepper to discuss their new comedy special, “Biology!” They explain how reckoning with mortality inspired their set, embracing humor as a practice of resistance against transphobia, getting performance advice from Christopher Guest, and why Meta bending the knee for Trump is actually a trans allegory. #DailyShow #ALOK #Comedy

What Alok said about mortality and empathy is beautiful.
It is. Unfortunately, the religious nuts out there think they win in death
This interview was profoundly beautiful. May we keep coming together in laughter through the troubles ahead.
Someone else said it, but I heard it from Brennan Lee Mulligan: "Comedy completes the cycle that Tragedy begins."
That is beautiful. Sammy Obeid talked at his show about how people questioned why he's joking during tragedy. He responded something to the effect that life is tragic, and we need comedy to help us process it....But, he said it so much better! Like Alok and quite a few comics, he's an amazing person.
I have 10 shirts in various prints that say "One day we'll all be skeletons". It's my favorite saying.
Philip DeFranco's kid's quote?
@JustStopPlayingGames Yes it is! I have health issues so the statement brings me a smile and a feeling of comfort.
yes, and scientists will say "this skeleton was male"
Thanks for introducing me to Alok! I just watched their Biology show and I laughed so much at the relatable content, the very witty jokes, the emotional resonance of their experiences and the bold and creative reframings of hate and bigotry, social media, influencer culture, "therapy", ethnicity struggles and hilarious observations on life. Truly one of the funniest and most refreshing voices out there, I'm so grateful to have been introduced to their work. I really needed this today and I think many of us need a voice like Alok's at this difficult time.
Fascinating interview! Thanks Daily Show!
Thanks for the intro! Loving everything Alok said. I really resonate with the whole concept of Joy being the best (in my words) revenge against people who try to hate someone into misery.
Thanks for introducing me to Alok - their special is great and I can't wait to see what they do next.
You mean his special
@DemonHunter2806 awww, did the snowflake get hurt feelings because someone's pronouns were respected? Diddums.
yikes
Thank you daily show! Another home run with Alok!! Great interview, and for me an introduction to Alok. I just love it when somebody intelligent comes along and stimulates my thought processes. Best show out there for the thinking person.
Yes,thank you Daily Show. Alok is an absolute gem in this insane world.
I hope this results in ALOK and Jordan becoming friends. They seem to get each other.
Have known Alok since I was a young man. They’re articulating now what they were cultivating as a younger person. Shout out 5:17
yuk
I loved this interview! Thank you Daily Show
I couldn't sleep last night. I'm mourning the loss of my sister, as well as financial stress and a sense of uncertainty about this country's future. I turn on TDS, and on comes Alok. I didn't what to think at first, but I was completely transported by their beautiful positivity and insightful humor. I simply felt much much better, and that's how humor can save all of us.
Love, love, love the Daily Show. ✨🤍✨
if zucc wants masculine energy he should just go on grindr
ouch ! 😂 you are saying he’s undercover
All living is Stand Up Comedy!! Gold. Thank you.
Love you alok!!! Always so witty and charming 🥰🥰
What a beautiful human being! We all want unconditional acceptance❣️
why the paid-for bot comments, daily show?
I do not have enough words! THANK YOU FOR TALKING ABOUT DEATH!!!!!
This guy is so amazing to be able to stay on topic, and have responses that are so deep, thoughtful and respectful. He’s great 👍
ALOK always comes with the poetry, comedy, compassion, wisdom. A true gem.
Smart, witty, charming! ❤
why the paid-for bot comments, daily show?
I love Jordan's quick witted sense of humor! His one on one interactions (even subjecting us to the frightening mindsets of MAGA people) are always spot on!
Excellent interview! Both players were superb! 👌😂
Thanks Daily Show for introducing the world to ALOK. Such a beautiful human being.
Beautiful insight♡ It'll drive the Fox bunch nuts~ a double delight! ✨️✨️
I have never heard of ALOK, but i really enjoyed this interview. He’s funny and smart. And i love how comfortable he is with himself, and how positive he is. Let’s find a place for humor during the next four years!
They are funny and smart, kind, and loving. They are a tremendous artist 🔥
It's a woman
Look up all the podcasts they’re on. They are so wise, and poetic.
Just FYI, they use they/them pronouns, not he/him.
@@gsgx2This is why the right makes fun of us.
I love ALOK! Love this interview
What a hilarious person!
We'll never stop joking about grandma rolling up in a Cadillac Escalade for her funeral. Nicest car she ever rode in, and she never even knew
Great interview!
That Special was Amazing, never heard of Alok before their special...and Wow, what a Great Introduction!
HUMOR HEALS!!! 😢😂❤
Jason you are smart. And demonstrate it. The beginning back and forth, then the rest.
ALOK is great. Y’all rock.
I am a cell in the body of humanity, not just this body-and-me.
ALOK the way you summarized the philosophy of humor amidst genocide is near EXACTLY how Native American writers, comedians, and thinkers put it. 10/10, incredibly well done.
Only thing I'll add: you either laugh or you cry.
Glad I didn't judge and actually watched, great interview!
💜
True that. 🎉
Authenticity. Acceptance. Humor.
Alok, you are absolutely hilarious, and always on point. Can't wait to see the special!!
I adore ALOK! They are a true artist. 💖 I have their poster on my wall, giving me the strength to be myself and fight cruelty with empathy.
why the paid-for bot comments, daily show?
ALOK you really know how to turn the conversations to conection, you go love! 🤍
Alok is cool!
I never knew ALOK, love them!! So smart, brave, inciteful and funny!
are you a robot?
Are you? You think like one. You know, kind of one track and mechanical.
Thank you for this.
So densely packed with intelligence, wit, humanity and fun !
I can imagine George Carlin saying the same things.
I can imagine George Carlin ripping some trans jokes about this guy
Wonderful 💜 Thank you / greetings from Germany
This is the best of humanity! 🥰
We're doomed then.
@@merryboy Really??
HE(not they) doesn't belong to humanity.
This one of the best interviews ever. Ever.
Hit 200k today. I'm really grateful for all the knowledge and nuggets you had thrown my way over the last months. Started with 14k in June 2024
Congratulations on hitting the 200k milestone! That's an incredible growth from 14k in just a few months - what strategies or investments did you implement to achieve this remarkable success?
I'm beyond thrilled to see your progress! From 14k to 200k in such a short time is amazing. Would love to hear about your journey and the key decisions that led to this success.
Hello, how did you achieve such monthly returns? I'm a newbie and I've lost a lot of money investing on my own. Please how do I go about it, the year is almost coming to an end, how can I make profit?
As a beginner, it is essential that you have a mentor to help you stay accountable. In my case, Elizabeth Marie Hawley has guided me for months and I highly recommend her. I focus on her. To be honest, I'm almost hesitant to let someone take charge of growing my finances, but I'm so glad I did.
I'm desperate to turn my finances around. I've been working three jobs just to pay off debt. Can someone please share contact or information? I need her help.🙏
Yay! Love this guy
Confounding comment. 😅
Can't wait to watch the special. Alok is such a thoughtful, joyful person 🎉
As a two spirit person myself this gives me hope. Alok is always so amazing and they sure shine! We need more conversations around death and dying.
❤❤❤❤❤ love it that I’m seeing this on the daily show
when my 10 year old imitates me she says, “hey, word to the wise: we are all gonna die one day so you had better find a way to (fill in the blank with ‘be happy, be kind, be strong, have fun, enjoy at least part of what’s going on, etc”
I love love love you Alok❤
ALOK is hilarious and a wise person.
why the paid-for bot comments, daily show?
Why the incorrect assumption?
Amen! ALOK,amen!
I had no idea that you would be interviewing a Guru. Fantastic interview. Take notes everyone.
ALOK is very very Smart and so funny 👌🏿
ALOK has a great and fascinating vibe/aura 😍
6:50 they missed the opportunity to make a pun about putting the fun in funeral 😅
If you're gonna platform Alok and presumably censor all the hateful youtube comments like this can you PLEASE give the same treatment to the Veronica Ivy trans women in sports video, so I don't get such whiplash from how much liberals ALREADY prefer "visibly non-binary voices" over trans women challenging more focused paradigms of hate besides "drag laws"? That's not "facilitating a discussion on the issues", that's farming hate.
They are comparing being a woman to a disability, but not being a social media coordinator for the daily show, and that really hurts.
Among two of my favorite humans. ❤
Omygoodness, I LOVE HIM! 🔥😎💙🙏
Just a wee fyi, Alok uses they/them pronouns.
@Xxxypher that's a he, he can use what he wants
THANK YOU❤❤❤ what an honour to have this guest
That . That right there. That song that says don’t take my joy away. Oppressed people find ways to preserve that joy. Might be why thy are hated. The haters are busy being haters and the hated are busy finding joy.
Brilliant, funny, on point👌
"give me the ego of a white man who thinks AI can prevent climate change" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love them! What brilliant sarcasm and great sense of humour and style they have.
Meta being so young to make these decisions 🤣
We need to address the mental health issue in this country. Thank you for demonstrating that Daily Show.
What a great interaction.
Why do I find Alok more manly than Zuckerberg?
Funny, weird, brilliant, human, deep. Cool!
I have one (massive) tattoo and it says 'Memento Mori' (remember you will die). I freaking LOVE ALOK--what a wealth of wisdom.
Thank you for sharing different and lovely perspectives…oh, yes. Death and powerful comedic humor🕊👏❣️
excellent guy! so funny
Thank you for this discussion ❤❤❤
Hear, hear!!
Memento mori - you are a human being Alok
I love that shirt!
Alok ❤❤❤❤❤
Guuuuurrlll!! I needed this today! Blessings to you, Alok and Jordan! 💜✨️
Love love this! 🥰✨🫶🏻💕💖
ALOK has a great vocabulary... Props.
SubhanAllah ❤
Did anyone else choke up? Such a beautiful person and a beautiful message thank you! ❤😂❤
I did cry at when he started talking about how the knowledge we are all gonna die should give us empathy for each other. I was surprised at my reaction watching this over my morning coffee time, but there you have it.
@canadianhappyinitalytruest6556 💯
Eric idle was on a month ago?
Psychedelics are super helpful
Has anyone watched “biology”? Is it actually funny? Or just “brave”?
Can’t help but notice it has almost no views.
Confused privilege.
Apparently John Leguizamo and my grandmother had a baby
Men. What happened
Everyone saying ALOK and all I see is Avatar: Legend of Korra
❤❤❤
I wont lie... When I saw the title I thought this was an interview with Alok the Producer/DJ from Brazil was getting political. Ah well.
You go girl.
3:28
Exactly what Christians are supposed to be preaching SMH
1:40 The whole meaning of BLACK LIVES MATTER.
It's different when black folks say the same thing for some reason😅
I loved Emilia Perez! Happy to see Daily Show agrees! I head so many transphobic MAGA complaints. Even wanna be white Latinx Trumpers. I feel so bad for them
This guys hilarious, I’m sure if he drops the everything he rattles off doesn’t have to sound like a question???🤣
Just a wee fyi, Alok uses they/them pronouns.
