John, we got to go.
I need five more minutes.
John, come on.
I've been doing the same stuff
for 25 years, and I have a process.
It's time. Enough with the process.
We have to go.
[Knock on door]
Oh, finally.
Get out of my way.
- Pizza.
- Thank you very much. Here.
- Keep the change.
- Oh, thanks.
Good man.
Ah. Good.
Get out of my way, Hoffman.
John,
why are you so nervous?
I'm not nervous.
I'm still hungry.
[Rock music plays]
ANNOUNCER:
Ladies and gentlemen,
John Pinette!
[Cheers and applause]
Hello, Chicago!
[Rock music,
cheers and applause continue]
Hi, everybody!
Have a seat!
Thank you.
Wow.
[Music stops]
Oh.
I'm I'm not under
enough pressure!
Now I better not suck!
You've been so kind.
It is a pleasure to be here.
Some of you are asking,
"I wonder how much of this show
will be about food."
[Laughter]
[Scattered cheers]
Quite a bit.
[Laughter]
If you're here for WikiLeaks jokes,
you got the wrong guy.
[Laughter]
I don't know.
You know, I've been actually
trying to lose weight,
'cause the shows on TV
have been scaring me.
They have shows
where they take big people
and they throw them in vans.
[Laughter]
And they put 'em in camps!
[Laughter]
Didn't that happen before in history?
[Laughter]
Have the Nazis come back?
We have nutrition Nazis.
[imitates German accent]
So, I see you have
on your face.
Get in ze van!
[Laughter]
You are a porker!
[Normal voice]
Somebody in Chicago
sent me up a picture, undoctored,
of a Weight Watchers
next to a Cold Stone Creamery.
I love that picture
because it's everywhere I am in life.
With the ups and downs
of my dieting --
I mean, like, leaving Cold Stone
feeling guilty.
"Well, I guess it's time to go
back to Weight Watchers now."
[Laughter]
Or I'm leaving
Weight Watchers going,
"I can't take it anymore!"
[Laughter]
Weight Watchers
is a great organization,
but they won't let you
buy more points.
[Laughter]
I'm going on a cruise!
I am now part of a rogue
splinter organization
where you can buy
and sell points
in the secondary market
as needed.
[Laughter]
[Applause]
"I'm going to --
I'm going to Las Vegas.
Here is my credit card."
[Laughter]
But then you try --
you're dieting and you turn on the TV,
and there's all shows about food.
They have shows
about just one kind of food.
about cake.
[Laughter]
They have a show
called "The Cake Boss."
This man is the boss of cake!
[Laughter]
You are the boss of cake?
I did not know you could
arbitrarily make yourself
the boss of a food.
I am now the boss of ham.
[Laughter]
[Cheers and applause]
[imitates southern accent]
My name is Boss Hogg.
Pleased to meet 'ya.
[Laughter]
[Normal voice]
I don't think
you can just make yourself boss.
a decision made.
I think the commission
has to meet.
There has to be a sit-down.
[Laughter]
[As Don Corleone]
So, what I've decided...
[Laughter]
[Laughter intensifies]
[Cheers and applause]
Don Buddy will be in charge
of cake from West Hoboken...
[Laughter]
...To West Orange.
How did it ever come to this?
My son, Santino...
...covered in frosting.
[Laughter]
I don't want his mother
to see him like this.
Look what they did to my boy.
[Laughter]
I never wanted this for you,
Michael.
I knew Santino
would have to make cake,
and Fredo, well, he's a cream puff.
[Laughter]
But I always thought you would
go into other pastries,
maybe even pastas.
Who knows?
Different types of meats and fishes.
Eh.
[Laughter]
[Normal voice]
Now...
I watch cake shows once in a while.
and this is me talking --
I think if you're watching cake
more than one or two hours a week,
you have to re-evaluate
your decisions in life.
I do think there's more to do
than watch cake.
[Laughter]
"John, what 'cha doin'?"
"I'm watching cake."
[Laughter]
"You were watching cake
the last time we came over there.
We're all gonna come over
and talk to you.
We've written you all letters,
and then you can do
whatever you want."
I had a cake intervention.
Now...
[Applause]
The thing is, is that these
shows don't change very much.
I like dynamic shows, you know?
I didn't understand it, but I liked it.
I like --
I like "Family Guy,"
"Battlestar Galactica."
I have a really eclectic taste.
But "The Cake Boss" --
I haven't seen
next week's episode,
but I'm pretty sure
[Laughter]
I'm gonna tell you what happens.
Somebody's gonna walk in
and need a cake.
[Laughter]
You're thinking,
"How does he know?
He's a Hollywood insider."
I figured it out!
After watching several episodes!
It's a template.
[Laughter]
And they'll come in and go,
"Buddy, it's my son's birthday.
I don't know what to do!
I need a cake!
He really likes
the movie 'Shrek.'
Can you do anything with that?"
Then they interview Buddy in a very
serious sit-down interview,
"It was the kid's birthday!
[Laughter]
And I'm thinking,
'I'll get him a 'Shrek' cake!
How does he think of this?
[Laughter]
It's like "CSI:
Cake."[Laughter]
Now he tells you how
he's gonna make this "Shrek" cake.
He'll take two regular
five-layer cakes,
carve them into, like, a Shrek,
then cover it all
in a lovely, green fondant!
[Laughter]
Watch this show.
You want to play a drinking game?
Whenever he says "fondant,"
take a drink.
[Cheers and applause]
[Laughs]
15 minutes in the show,
you will have to call
an ambulance.
[Laughter]
"Oh, please,
don't say 'fondant' again."
"Our fondant was ruined!"
[Laughter]
We get it.
He can stop saying "fondant."
It's like the sheetrock of frosting.
You build with it.
[Laughter]
I understand, though,
that bakery that they have
in Hoboken is amazing.
And there's a two-hour line
to get into that bakery.
I could not stand in that line.
'Cause people walk up to me
and feel that they can say
whatever they want.
And I don't want to hear it.
Standing in a cake line.
[Laughter]
"Excuse me, sir,
are you waiting in line for cake?
You have nothing better to do?"
"You're right."
[Laughter]
With my luck, my cardiologist
would drive by
while I was waiting in line
for cake and beep the horn.
[Laughter]
"Get out of the line!"
[Cheers and applause]
I ii
"I didn't know
they sold cake here.
I thought it was a pharmacy!
[Laughter]
I was gonna get my vitamins...
...and my cholesterol medication."
And you know what?
I ain't waiting in line outside for food.
I was in Birmingham, Alabama,
and they love
the Olive Garden there.
Now, the Olive Garden --
it's good.
Their main thing is, though,
you can have
all the salad you want.
Oh, you spoil me!
[Laughter]
They do use a lot of dressing
in the salad, though.
I've had lettuce, like, floating
in dressing like a dead body.
"Oh, God, they whacked the salad!
