00:32:23,767 --> 00:32:25,167 hadn't gone off yet, so you had 1243 00:32:25,167 --> 00:32:26,600 chances but they slipped through 1244 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:27,700 your fingers somehow. 1245 00:32:27,700 --> 00:32:29,433 >> Right. 1246 00:32:29,433 --> 00:32:30,833 >> Right now, it looks more like 1247 00:32:30,833 --> 00:32:33,333 you're going to an awards show 1248 00:32:33,333 --> 00:32:35,533 rather than an inauguration. 1249 00:32:35,533 --> 00:32:37,600 It doesn't look expensive or 1250 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:41,067 luxurious, and is that your bra 1251 00:32:41,067 --> 00:32:43,267 strap coming up on this side? 1252 00:32:43,267 --> 00:32:44,100 >> Right here? 1253 00:32:44,100 --> 00:32:44,833 It make my titty look funny if I 1254 00:32:44,833 --> 00:32:45,933

00:33:25,500 --> 00:33:26,867 >> I'll be honest, I got scared 1282 00:33:26,867 --> 00:33:28,500 as hell when you came out on the 1283 00:33:28,500 --> 00:33:29,533 runway tonight. 1284 00:33:29,533

>> Phi Phi committed to that 1301 00:34:01,700 --> 00:34:03,133 Palin-esque character. 1302 00:34:03,133 --> 00:34:04,533 Even if one or two of her jokes 1303 00:34:04,533 --> 00:34:06,333 fell flat, I still thought it 1304 00:34:06,333 --> 00:34:07,700 was believable. 1305 00:34:07,700 --> 00:34:08,867 >> I have respect for people who 1306 00:34:08,867 --> 00:34:10,333 should be committed and are 1307 00:34:10,333 --> 00:34:12,300 committed, but it kind of 1308 00:34:12,300 --> 00:34:13,133 flopped. 1309 00:34:13,133 --> 00:34:14,267 It didn't really hit the joke, 1310 00:34:14,267 --> 00:34:16,267 so for me, it misses the mark. 1311 00:34:16,267 --> 00:34:17,833 >> All right, Dida Ritz, well, 1312 00:34:17,833 --> 00:34:18,700 she said she was intimidated by 1313 00:34:18,700 -->

00:35:13,300 --> 00:35:14,767 I think she lost her way. 1357 00:35:14,767 --> 00:35:16,067 >> And why do we have to tell 1358 00:35:16,067 --> 00:35:17,467 somebody to tuck their bra in? 1359
