>> FROM THESE CONTRIBUTING SPONSORS AND VIEWERS LIKE YOU.

THANK YOU.

>>> THIS TIME ON "BROAD & HIGH," WE VISIT AND AWARD CEREMONY FOR SOME OF THE FUNNIEST AUTHORS IN AMERICA, AND LISTEN TO A BAND THAT IS A LITTLE BIT OF SOUL AND A WHOLE LOT OF ROCK 'N' ROLL.

THIS AND MORE RIGHT NOW ON "BROAD & HIGH."

>>> WELCOME TO "BROAD & HIGH."

I'M YOUR HOST, KATE QUICKEL.

TODAY, WE'RE AT THE HISTORIC THURBER HOUSE IN DOWNTOWN COLUMBUS.

IT'S THE FORMER HOME OF AUTHOR AND NEW YORKER CARTOONIST JAMES THURBER AND A GATHERING PLACE FOR READERS AND WRITERS OF ALL AGES.

THURBER HOUSE HOSTS WRITERS WORKSHOPS, YOUNG WRITER STUDIOS AND TEAM LITERARY JOURNAL EVENTS.

EACH YEAR, IT ALSO RECOGNIZES ONE AUTHOR FOR OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTIONS IN HUMOR WRITING.

NEXT, WE TAKE A LISTEN TO SOME EXCERPTS FROM THE 2022 THURBER PRIZE FOR AMERICAN HUMOR CEREMONY.

>> THE THURBER PRIZE FOR AMERICAN HUMOR IS THE NATION'S HIGHEST RECOGNITION OF HUMOR WRITING.

THE WHIT, JAMES THURBER WROTE, MAKES FUN OF OTHER PERSONS, THE SATIRIST MAKES FUN OF THE WORLD.

THE HUMORIST MAKES FUN OF HIMSELF, BUT IN DOING SO, HE OR SHE IDENTIFIES HIMSELF WITH PEOPLE.

THAT IS, PEOPLE EVERYWHERE.

NOT FOR THE PURPOSE OF TAKING THEM APART.

BUT SIMPLY REVEALING THEIR TRUE NATURE.

THE FINALISTS HERE TONIGHT HELPED ME MAKE SENSE OF THE WORLD, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT TO THE VITAL ROLE OF EACH KARDASHIAN.

[ laughter ] BUT THE PEOPLE WHO FIND IT FUNNY, LIKE OUR FINALISTS TONIGHT, ARE ALL THE MORE VALUABLE TO US AT ALL TIMES, BUT ESPECIALLY NOW, WHEN THE WORLD DAILY SEEMS TO MAKE LESS AND LESS SENSE.

SEEMS CRUELLER, MEANER.

>> MIKE BIRBIGLIA IS A MAN WHO APPRECIATES A GOOD STORY.

FROM HIS DEEP ROOTS IN STORY TELLING, HE CONTINUES HIS CAREER TO NEW AND AWARD WINNING HEIGHTS ACROSS THE PAGE, TELEVISION, FILM, RADIO, STANDUP STAGE AND EVEN THE BRIGHT LIGHTS OF BROADWAY.

[ applause ] >> IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE BOOK, IT'S ABOUT HOW ALL THE REASONS WHY I NEVER WANTED TO HAVE A CHILD IN DETAIL, AND HOW I HAD A CHILD, AND HOW I WAS RIGHT.

[ laughter ] BUT THEN ULTIMATELY, SPOILER ALERT, HOW I WAS WRONG.

AND SO ONE OF THE REASONS THAT I NEVER WANTED TO HAVE A CHILD IS CALLED "I LOVE MY MARRIAGE."

I FEEL LUCKY TO HAVE FOUND MY WIFE.

I THOUGHT I WOULD FIND SOMEONE WHO WOULD PRETEND TO BE OKAY WITH ME, CHANGE ME, FAIL AND DIVORCE ME.

THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN.

ONE TIME SHE WAS RUBBING MY NECK AND I SAID DO I FEEL MORE TENSE THAN USUAL?

SHE SAID YOU'VE BEEN 80% TO 100% TENSE SINCE THE DAY WE MET.

I THOUGHT, SHE REALLY GETS ME.

SHE WORKED 9:00 TO 6:00 IN AN OFFICE BUILDING AND I WAS ON THE ROAD 70% OF THE TIME DOING SHOWS.

TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, WHEN I WAS IN NEW YORK CITY, I WAS PERFORMING AT NIGHT.

SO I -- STAY WITH ME -- SHOWED UP AT HER JOB EVERY DAY WITHOUT AN INVITATION FOR 2 1/2 WEEKS.

IN CURRENT TIMES, THIS WOULD BE CALLED STALKING.

AT THE TIME IT WAS CALLED STALKING.

[ laughter ] SO I WOULD SHOW UP AT HER WORK WITH FLOWERS AND POP INTO THE CONVERSATION ROOM OR HER OFFICE AND JEN WOULD BE MORTIFIED AND TAKE ME OUTSIDE TO PIER 60 OVERLOOKING THE HUDSON AND WE WOULD MAKE OUT ON THE PIER.

THE FIRST THEM THIS HAPPENED, JEN DROPPED HER PHONE IN THE RIVER.

THIS IS A POEM THAT SHE WROT.

THE FIRST TIME MY HUSBAND KISSED ME, MY CELL PHONE FELL OUT OF MY POCKET INTO THE HUDSON RIVER.

TO THIS DAY, I STILL RECEIVE PRANK CALLS FROM FISH.

JEN IS A POET.

I COAXED HER INTO REVEALING HER PSEUDONYM FOR THIS BOOK, WHICH MEANS SHE PLANS TO SWITCH TO A NEW PSEUDONYM UPON ITS PUBLICATION.

SHE'S VERY PRIVATE.

UNTIL NOW, SHE NEVER SHARED HER PSEUDONYM WITH FAMILY OR FRIENDS.

SO I CREATED ONE OF MY OWN, WHO IS AN ONLINE SUPER FAN OF HER PSEUDONYM, WHO WRITES LOVE LETTERS TO HER PSEUDONYM, NAMED EMBER BONES.

I WRITE EMAILS FROM EMBER BONES TO HER ACCOUNT.

AT ONE POINT, I SENT FLOWERS FROM EMBER BONES WITH AN EMAIL, DID YOU GET THE FLOWERS?

WAS THAT OKAY WITH YOUR HUSBAND?

I GOOGLED HIM.

HE'S A COMEDIAN.

I'VE NEVER HEARD OF HIM.

[ laughter ] JEN REPLIED, MR. BONES, YES, I DID GET YOUR FLOWERS.

BEAUTIFUL.

MY CAT ESPECIALLY LOVES THEM SINCE THEY REMIND HER WHEN SHE WAS A STREET CAT.

MY HUSBAND IS VERY SECURE IN OUR RELATIONSHIP.

SINCERELY, JAY HOPE STEIN.

ONE DAY SHE CAME HOME FROM A POETRY READING, AND SHE SAID THERE WAS NO MICROPHONE BECAUSE MY VOICE IS SO QUIET, NO ONE WOULD HEAR ME.

SO FOR OUR FIRST ANNIVERSARY I BROUGHT HER A MICROPHONE TO TAKE TO HER READINGS.

ON THE BOX, IT SAID, DEAR CLOWE, YOUR VOICE NEEDS TO BE HEARD.

I'M ONE OF THE FEW PEOPLE THAT GET TO HEAR HER VOICE.

SHE IS AN INTROVERT, WHO DOESN'T LIKE YOU.

SHE MIGHT LIKE YOU BUT SHE WILL NEED HER HUSBAND TO EXPLAIN WHY WE'RE LEAVING THE PARTY.

>> WHEN JAMES McBRIDE IS NOT WINNING AWARDS FOR MUSIC, HE'S AN AWARD WINNING AUTHOR OF NUMEROUS BOOKS, COVERING FICTION AND NON-FICTION.

FROM HIS MEMOIR "THE COLOR OF WATER," TO WARTIME DRAMA "THE MIRACLE OF SAINT ANNA," HE'S STUNNED AUDIENCES WITH THE ABILITY TO DIG INTO THE HEAVIEST TOPICS.

[ applause ] >> YOU LIKE ME, YOU REALLY LIKE ME.

[ laughter ] THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

SO NICE TO SEE SO MANY WHITE PEOPLE -- I MEAN, NICE PEOPLE HERE.

UMM, I DON'T REALLY, UMM, IT'S REALLY HARD TO FOLLOW.

YOU KNOW, WHEN AN IRISHMAN STARTS TELLING JOKES, YOU'RE DEAD.

SO I DON'T REALLY HAVE MUCH TO OFFER IN THE WAY OF PREPARED INFORMATION.

UMM, WHEN I WROTE THIS BOOK, A LOT OF IT CAME FROM MY EXPERIENCE GROWING UP IN CHURCH.

SO ANYONE WHO IS HERE FROM BROOKLYN, IF YOU GO BY 609 CLINTON STREET ON ANY WEEKEND, ANY SATURDAY ESPECIALLY, YOU'LL SEE ME THERE.

A LITTLE TINY CHURCH THAT MY PARENTS STARTED GOING THERE BEFORE I WAS BORN.

SO THE CHURCH IS STILL THERE, STILL IN THE SAME HOUSING PROJECT.

I RUN A LITTLE MUSIC PROGRAM THERE FOR KIDS LIVING IN THE PROJECTS.

A COUPLE OF THEM HAVE GOT INTO COLLEGE THIS YEAR AND GOT SCHOLARSHIPS.

IT'S BEEN A VERY FULFILLING THING.

WE'RE NOT ASKING MONEY, JUST SO YOU KNOW.

BUT IN ANY CASE, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IS INTERESTING ABOUT BLACK AMERICAN LIFE IS THAT, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU GO TO THE MOVIES AND YOU SEE DEPICTIONS OF BLACK CHURCHES OR BLACK PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, YOU ALWAYS -- IF YOU SEE A MOVIE, AND THERE IS A BLACK WOMAN, SOMEBODY IS GOING OH, AHH.

SOMEBODY GIVE HER SOME LYRICS, BECAUSE IT'S JUST LIKE HOLLERING, LIKE OH, LORD.

I ALWAYS FELT LIKE THE DEPICTION OF BLACK LIVES IN THE CHURCH IS VERY STEREO TYPICAL.

YOU WALK BY AND SAY WHAT'S GOING ON IN THERE?

SO DEACON KING KONG IS ABOUT WHAT GOES ON IN THERE.

I GREW UP IN THE CHURCH, AND I'M A SAXOPHONIST BY TRAINING.

I WENT TO OBERLAND RIGHT UP THE ROAD HERE.

[ applause ] NO OBERLAND PEOPLE HERE?

DON'T LOOK AT ME.

BUT, YOU KNOW, I LEARNED TO PLAY PIANO IN CHURCH, BECAUSE MY FAMILY WAS -- WE WERE ALL IN CHURCH.

WE WENT TO CHURCH A LOT.

SO MY SISTER, HELEN, WAS THE CHURCH PIANIST.

WHEN SHE WAS 15, HELEN QUIT AND JUST WOULDN'T PLAY ANY MORE.

THAT WAS IT.

THEN MY SISTER JUDY BECAME THE CHURCH PIANIST, AND SHE WAS PRETTY GOOD.

SHE STILL PLAYS.

SHE'S A MUSIC TEACHER.

AND THEN WHEN JUDY WASN'T AVAILABLE, I WOULD BE CALLED INTO SERVICE, WHICH IS ALWAYS A PROBLEM.

BECAUSE WHEN SOMEBODY GETS THE SPIRIT, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE PLAYING -- AND THEY START SINGING IN F SHARP, YOU'RE GOING, COME BACK TO F SHARP.

AND THEY SING THE WHOLE SONG, THE SECOND VERSE NOBODY KNOWS THE WORDS, AND THEY PLOW RIGHT AHEAD.

SO IT WAS ALWAYS A PROBLEM FOR ME, BECAUSE WHEN THE MINISTER TALKS, THE MINISTER, HE LIKED A LITTLE MUSIC BEHIND HIM, SO YOU WOULD PLAY -- WE NEED A NEW VAN, PASS THE TRAY.

AND THEN WHEN HE PREACHED, HE WOULD LIKE A LITTLE GROOVE BEHIND HIM, TOO.

I NEVER KNEW, BECAUSE HE WOULD START LIKE A CHU THING.

SO YOU WOULD BE LIKE IN THE BEGINNING -- AND THEN HE WOULD BE LIKE -- BECAUSE HE WOULD NOD AT YOU WHEN YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO STOP.

[ laughter ] SO THAT WAS A PROBLEM, TOO.

AND THE OTHER THING IS WHEN YOU PLAYED, IF YOU PLAYED LIKE -- "WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS."

AND I HAD GOTTEN INTO JAZZ, YOU KNOW, AND MY BROTHER, RITCHIE, WE WERE LISTENING TO JAZZ.

SO THE MINISTER WOULD BE TALKING, AND I WOULD BE LIKE -- AND MY MOTHER WOULD BE IN THE BACK LIKE -- AND WE WOULD DO STUFF LIKE "PASS ME NOT" LIKE -- SNOEND [ laughter ] BUT THE STEREOTYPICAL IMAGE OF BLACK PEOPLE, PARTICULARLY BLACK WOMEN IN THE CHURCH, I'VE ALWAYS FOUND WRONG.

BECAUSE THE DYNAMICS OF AFRICAN AMERICAN LIFE MEANS THAT BLACK WOMEN IN CHURCH ARE SO SOPHISTICATED ABOUT THINGS.

THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO SAY.

THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHEN NOT TO SAY IT.

THEY'VE SUFFERED SO MUCH.

THEY LAUGH ALL THE TIME, AND NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO, THEY STILL, STILL LOVE YOU.

AND SO WHEN I SEE THESE FILMS AND MEDIA DEPICTIONS OF BLACK WOMEN, I SAY TO MYSELF, WELL, IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY TO ME.

SO "DEACON KING KONG" CAPTURES PART OF THAT CHURCH LIFE.

ESSENTIALLY, THIS BOOK IS ABOUT A CHURCH IN BROOKLYN, AND ABOUT AN OLD MAN WHO IS PART OF THE CHURCH, AND THEY CALL HIM DEACON KING KONG, BECAUSE HE LIKES TO SIP THE JOY JUICE.

IS IT BASED ON A REAL CHARACTER?

IT'S BASED ON MANY REAL CHARACTERS I KNEW IN CHURCH AND LOVED.

THE SAME KIND OF GUYS WHO WOULD, AFTER THE SERVICE, THEY WOULD PULL OUT A POCKET FULL OF CHANGE AND FISH THROUGH ALL THE QUARTERS AND HAND YOU A NICKEL.

>>> NO ONE DOES HUMOR BETTER THAN ALEXANDRA PETRI.

SINCE BECOMING THE YOUNGEST EVER COLUMNIST FOR "THE WASHINGTON POST," HER DIGITAL COLUMN "COMPOST" HAS DELIGHTED READERS WITH SATIRICAL TAKES ON THE ISSUES OF THE DAY.

AND ON AT LEAST ONE OCCASION, MISTAKENLY PRESENTED IN A TRUMP WHITE HOUSE PRESS BRIEFING AS "REAL NEWS."

>> HELLO.

IT IS SO WONDERFUL TO BE HERE.

OH, MY GOD.

MIKE BIRBIGLIA, JAMES THURBER, JOHN KENNEY.

PHENOMENAL.

OH, MY GOODNESS.

BUT THE LAST TIME I LEFT THE HOUSE FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME WAS TO GIVE BIRTH.

SO NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS TONIGHT, THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN WAY BETTER.

[ laughter ] SHE'S WITH HER DAD.

WE HAVE TO DO AN ACTIVE UPDATE TO SEE IF SHE'S POOPS.

IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT GIVING BIRTH IS LIKE, I TOOK SOME NOTES WHILE IT WAS HAPPENING.

[ laughter ] ON MY PHONE, BECAUSE I'M A MILLENNIAL.

AND I SAID IT WAS LIKE HAVING A METAL POLE INSERTED INTO YOUR MIDSECTION.

LIKE HAVING A HARPOON PULLED OUT OF YOU.

LIKE A BACK PAIN, IF YOU THINK WELL, MAYBE THERE'S ANOTHER POSITION THAT WILL BE COMFORTABLE.

BUT THEN YOU REALIZE THE PAIN IS WHEREVER YOU ARE.

LIKE SURGERY, IF SOMEONE IS DOING SURGERY ON YOU WITHOUT ANAESTHESIA, MOSTLY BY JUST PULLING AT YOUR SKIP, A BAD PAIN.

THAT WAS AN ELOQUENT NOTE.

LIKE THE BACK SNAPPING OR A BIG, RUBBER TIRE BEING TORN IN HALF OR A MECHANICAL PIECE OF EQUIPMENT, WHOSE SANCTION IS TO POUND OR LIKE A BIG OYSTER BEING PRIED OPEN BY CLAWS UNDER THE SEA.

NOT SO GOOD.

NOT A BIG FAN OF THIS CONTRAPTION.

DEFINITELY GETTING CLOSER.

LIKE HAVING YOUR BLUBBER PULLED OFF OF YOU IF YOU ARE A WHALE.

LIKE IN BIG STRIPS.

LIKE AN ICE CREAM SCOOP TO THE BODY.

LIKE BEING HOLE PUNCHED AND YOU'RE THE PAPER AND THE HOLE PUNCHER IS ONE OF THOSE BIG, BLACK METAL ONES.

LIKE WHEN YOU DIE IN A DREAM.

LIKE YOU'RE HAVING THE STUFFING RIPPED OUT OF YOU.

FEELS LIKE MEAT BEING PICKED OFF A BONE.

WEAKNESS AND POSSIBLY ALSO THE SOUL LEAVING THE BODY.

LIKE BEING UNROLLED WHEN YOUR WHOLE EXISTENCE DEPENDS ON BEING ROLLED LIKE A CIGARETTE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

LIKE BEING A SEA GULL THE MOMENT HE PICKS UP A FRENCH FRY IN HIS BEAK.

LIKE SLAMMING YOUR THUMB IN THE DOOR, BUT YOUR ENTIRE BODY IS THE THUMB.

LIKE ONE OF THOSE METAL TONGS THAT IS CLAMPING DOWN AROUND YOUR MID SECTION.

LIKE YOU'RE BEING PULLED INTO ORBIT BY YOUR INTESTINES.

LIKE THERE'S A DENSE GRAVITATIONAL BLACK HOLE INSIDE YOU.

OKAY, I THINK IT'S TIME FOR THE EPIDURAL.

SO THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT CHILDHOOD WAS LIKE FOR ANY FUTURE REFERENCE.

MY MOM GOT MAD THAT I PUBLISHED IT.

SHE'S LIKE, THE WORLD DOESN'T NEED TO KNOW.

BUT FROM WHAT I AM HERE TO READ, THOUGH, IS FROM THIS BOOK, WHICH I WROTE EARLIER.

IT'S CALLED "EXCUSE ME, DIRECTOR, I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT MY ROLE IN THE SPRING PLAY AS A CRISIS ACTOR."

BECAUSE WE WERE THIS BROKEN COUNTRY.

AFTER THE MARJORY STONEMAN DOUGLAS HIGH SCHOOL SHOOTING, MANY 1250U7 STUDENTS CAME OUT AS ACTIVISTS AND PEOPLE ACCUSED THEM OF BEING METHOD ACTORS.

DEAR MR. SPENCER, I'M SO EXCITED TO BE CAST AS A CRISIS ACTOR AND I LOOK FORWARD TO GIVING THE ROLE MY ALL.

SINCE I STARTED AS COURTNEY AND FACTORY WORKER THREE, THIRD ALTERNATE IN "LES MISERABLES," YOU KNOW YOU CAN EXPECT 100% FROM ME, EVEN THOUGH I'M ONLY A SOPHOMORE.

AS AN ACTOR, THIS GIVES ME WHAT I HAVE ALWAYS CRAVED THE MOST -- TOTAL ANONYMITY, NO ATTENTION WHATSOEVER, AND A GUARANTEE THAT NO ONE WILL EVER LEARN MY NAME.

MY MOM IS ALWAYS LIKE, WHY DO I HAVE TO DRIVE YOU TO THE THEATER THREE NIGHTS A WEEK?

AND WHY CAN'T YOU GO OUT FOR TRACK THIS SEMESTER?

AND I'M LIKE, BECAUSE NOTHING, MOM.

SHE'S SUPPORTIVE, THOUGH.

I HINTED THAT I'M MAKING GREAT CONNECTIONS.

I KNOW THAT YOU ARE CONNECTED GLOBALLY TO A LARGE NETWORK THAT PULLS ALL THE STRANGLES OF THE WORLD.

SO AFTER THIS, CAN YOU GET ME ONTO BROADWAY?

OR OFF BROADWAY IN THE VERY LEAST.

>> LET'S GET TO THE WINNERS.

SO MAY I HAVE THE ENVELOPE, PLEASE?

>> THE WINNER OF THE 21st THURBER PRIZE FOR AMERICAN RUMOR IS -- JAMES McBRIDE.

[ applause ] YOU >> HISTORY IS IS WHY JAMES THURBER AND MARK TWAIN SAT DOWN TO RIGHT.

HISTORY COUNTS.

AND SO AS MUCH FUN AS WE'VE HAD TONIGHT, AND AS IMPORTANT AS HUMOR IS, WE HAVE TO FIND SPACE TO MOVE THE MOUNTAIN A LITTLE BIT BEYOND WHAT WE DO.

UMM, SO I'M ASKING YOU, I ACCEPT THIS AWARD ON BEHALF OF MYSELF AND MY TWO FINALISTS, AND JOHN, WITH THE KNOWLEDGE -- WITH THE PLEA AND THE DESIRE THAT YOU PAY ATTENTION.

THAT WHEN YOU PICK UP "THE WASHINGTON POST," WHEN YOU READ ALEX'S WORK, WHAT SHE'S REALLY SAYING IS TO PAY ATTENTION.

AND IN YOUR OWN LITTLE WORLD, WHEREVER IT IS, TO SIT DOWN.

AFTER YOU WRITE THE CHECK TO THE THURBER ORGANIZATION, WRITE A CHECK TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE REALLY DOING THE WORK, THE 81-YEAR-OLD LADY FROM CALIFORNIA WHO IS DOING THE WORK.

THE JEWISH SENATOR FROM NEW YORK WHO IS DOING THE WORK.

THE PEOPLE WHO ARE DOING THE WORK, BECAUSE OUR SILENCE IS THE COMPLICITY THAT WILL ALLOW THE DANGEROUS PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY TO TAKE OVER.

THE FIGHT IS JUST BEGINNING [ applause ] VOTE, VOTE, VOTE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

GOD BLESS YOU.

THANK YOU.
