WELCOME, WELCOME, WELCOME TO "THE TONIGHT SHOW."
THIS IS IT. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
YOU'RE HERE. YOU MADE IT.
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING. WELL, GUYS, THE OLYMPICS START
NEXT WEEK, AND IT WAS JUST ANNOUNCED THAT DUE TO COVID,
OLYMPIANS WILL HAVE TO TAKE THEIR MEDALS OFF A TRAY AND
PLACE THEM AROUND THEIR OWN NECKS.
[ LAUGHTER ] AND JUST LIKE AT YOUR NEIGHBOR'S
HOUSE ON HALLOWEEN, THE TRAY WILL HAVE A GIANT SIGN THAT
SAYS, "PLEASE TAKE ONE." [ LAUGHTER ]
"I WANT ALL OF THEM. I LICKED THEM, NOW WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO DO?" [ LAUGHTER ]
ALSO, THIS IS ANNOYING. WHOEVER FINISHES FOURTH HAS TO
CARRY THE TRAY. [ LAUGHTER ]
"I WON BRONZE." "I WON PLASTIC."
I'M SURE IT WILL BE FINE. I ALWAYS WANTED TO SEE OLYMPIC
MEDALS PASSED OUT LIKE STUFFED MUSHROOMS AT A COCKTAIL HOUR.
[ LAUGHTER ] THAT'S RIGHT.
THEY'RE BEING VERY CAUTIOUS. ALSO WHEN THE BATON IS HANDED
OFF AT THE RELAY RACE, YOU HAVE TO GRAB IT USING A CLOROX WIPE.
[ LAUGHTER ] NOT ONLY THAT, THE WRESTLERS ARE
GOING TO WRESTLE FROM SIX FEET APART.
[ LAUGHTER ] HUH, HUH, HUH, HUH.
SOME MORE OLYMPIC NEWS, I SAW THAT RALPH LAUREN JUST UNVEILED
TEAM USA'S UNIFORMS FOR THE OPENING CEREMONIES.
CHECK THESE OUT. [ AUDIENCE OOHs ]
THEY DON'T LOOK LIKE TEAM USA. THEY LOOK LIKE THE CAST FROM THE
"GOSSIP GIRL" REBOOT. [ LAUGHTER ]
BUT GET THIS, THESE OLYMPICS COULD BE THE HOTTEST ON RECORD,
SO THIS FLAG BEARER IS GOING TO WEAR A SPECIAL WHITE DENIM
JACKET WITH A BATTERY POWERED COOLING DEVICE IN IT.
TAKE A LOOK. YEAH.
WAIT A MINUTE, YOU'RE TELLING ME A WHITE DENIM JACKET CAN GET
EVEN COOLER? IMPOSSIBLE!
[ LAUGHTER ] THAT'S RIGHT, A COOLING JACKET,
OR, AND HEAR ME OUT, DON'T WEAR A JACKET.
[ LAUGHTER ] [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
DON'T WEAR A JACKET. WE'RE GOOD.
IT'S THE OLYMPICS. WEAR A TANK TOP.
PEOPLE SWIMMING WITH NO SHIRT ON.
YEAH, I MEAN, IT'S POSSIBLE, YEAH.
>> Steve: FLIP-FLOPS? >> Jimmy: YEAH.
THIS IS VERY EXCITING. IT'S TIME FOR A NEW SEGMENT THAT

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] **
[ SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE ] [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Jimmy: SOME NEWS FROM WASHINGTON, THE BIDEN

AROUND YOUR NECK. [ LAUGHTER ]
"I'VE FALLEN --" "YEAH, WE KNOW, WE KNOW."
[ LAUGHTER ] MEANWHILE, CHINA IS LIKE, "JUST
TALK LOUD. WE'RE LISTENING TO YOU ANYWAY."
[ LAUGHTER ] TRUMP ACTUALLY HAD THE SAME
EMERGENCY PHONE, BUT IT WAS CONNECTED TO A KFC.
[ LAUGHTER ] "THREE BUCKETS.
ALL THE SIDES. STAT."
SPEAKING OF TRUMP, A NEW BOOK JUST CAME OUT THAT DESCRIBES
ANARCHY AND CHAOS IN THE FINAL DAYS OF HIS ADMINISTRATION.
YEAH. THE FINALS DAYS WERE ANARCHY AND
CHAOS AS OPPOSED TO THE EARLY DAYS OF OMAROSA AND SCARAMUCCI
THAT WERE A WELL-OILED MACHINE, I GUESS.
[ LAUGHTER ] BUT ACCORDING TO THE BOOK, TRUMP
SAID WHOEVER LEAKED THE STORY ABOUT HIM HIDING IN THE
WHITE HOUSE BUNKER DURING LAST SUMMER'S PROTEST SHOULD BE
EXECUTED. [ AUDIENCE OOHs ]
IN TRUMP'S DEFENSE, HE DIDN'T WANT TO STAY IN THAT BUNKER, BUT
ONCE HE WENT DOWN ALL THOSE STAIRS, THERE'S NO WAY HE'S
GOING BACK UP. [ LAUGHTER ]
"WE'LL TAKE ALL THE MEETINGS FROM DOWN HERE.
GET ME THREE BUCKETS, STAT. [ LAUGHTER ]
JUST THROW A NUGGET DOWN THE STAIRS."
SOME CONTROVERSY HERE. THE STATE OF TENNESSEE IS MAKING
NEWS AFTER THEY DECIDED TO STOP PROMOTING VACCINES FOR KIDS FOR
ANY DISEASES, INCLUDING COVID. IT'S PRETTY SURPRISING.
AND IT MIGHT EXPLAIN SOME OF THEIR NEW STATE MOTTOS.
TAKE A LOOK. HERE'S "TENNESSEE, COME FOR THE

[ LAUGHTER ] >> Jimmy: RIGHT NOW, MILLIONS OF

THAT WOULD HAVE CHANGED EVERYTHING.
OH, MY GOSH." EVEN JESUS WAS LIKE, "WELL, DO
THAT WINE MIRACLE THING AGAIN. [ LAUGHTER ]
YOU CAN DRINK TO THAT?" I KNOW IT'S NOT A COMPETITION
SHOW, BUT I'M PRETTY SURE SHE JUST WON "REAL HOUSEWIVES."
[ LAUGHTER ] GET THIS -- I HEARD ABOUT A
HOSPITAL IN TEXAS THAT HAD TWO BABY BOOMS IN A ROW, DELIVERING
107 BABIES IN JUST 91 HOURS. [ AUDIENCE OOHs ]
IT WAS CRAZY. THE MATERNITY WARD WAS LIKE A
PITCHING MACHINE AT A BATTING CAGE.
[ LAUGHTER ] YEP, 107 DELIVERIES IN JUST
91 HOURS, THAT'S NOT A HOSPITAL. THAT'S A DOMINOS.
[ LAUGHTER ] WELL, GUYS, IT'S HARD TO
BELIEVE, BUT IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE WE ALL GOT ON ZOOM.

PEOPLE ON TV. SO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.
IT'S TIME FOR ANOTHER INSTALLMENT OF "GREATEST MOMENTS

I'VE BEEN GROWING FACIAL HAIR FOR, YOU KNOW, ON AND OFF FOR
SINCE I WAS 18 SO I FEEL LIKE -- >> Jimmy: WOW.
THAT'S UNBELIEVABLE. >> I FINALLY HIT THE SWEET SPOT,
YOU KNOW? >> Jimmy: I WANT TO TALK ABOUT
"SPACE JAM: A NEW LEGACY." SO EXCITING.
YOU -- I KNOW YOU'RE A BIG BASKETBALL FAN.
TO BE IN "SPACE JAM: A NEW LEGACY," WHAT WAS THAT
LIKE WHEN YOU EVEN GOT THE CALL? DID LeBRON CALL YOU?
[ LIGHT LAUGHTER ] >> NO, LeBRON DIDN'T CALL ME
PERSONALLY. BUT, YOU KNOW, WE'VE SINCE
LIKE -- YOU KNOW, DEVELOPED A GREAT FRIENDSHIP.
AND IT'S REALLY NICE TO HAVE A MOVIE DO SOMETHING BEYOND JUST
BE -- YOU KNOW, SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE IN.
WE MAKE THESE SATELLITE FAMILIES, AND OFTEN, YOU KNOW,
WE DON'T SEE THESE PEOPLE AGAIN. BUT WE'VE KEPT IN TOUCH PRETTY
CONSISTENTLY. AND THAT'S BEEN COOL.
AND WE JUST SAW THE MOVIE. AND IT'S REALLY FUN.
I THINK PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DIG IT A LOT.
IT WAS A VERY COOL EXPERIENCE. YOU KNOW, IT'S WHAT YOU WOULD
IMAGINE BEING IN THAT FANTASTICAL WORLD WITH ALL THOSE
ANIMATED CHARACTERS AND THEN YOU LOOK OVER AND THERE'S
KING JAMES. SO IT WAS, KIND OF, WILD.
A LOT OF FUN. >> Jimmy: YEAH, YOUR CHARACTER
IS AL-G RHYTHM. >> CORRECT.
>> Jimmy: IS IT FAIR TO SAY HE'S A VILLAIN?
>> YOU KNOW, I THINK WE'RE THROWING THESE WORDS AROUND,
VILLAIN, BAD GUY -- >> Jimmy: WOW.
>> MISANTHROPE, REALLY LIBERALLY, YOU KNOW?
>> Jimmy: YEAH, INTERESTING. >> I THINK HE'S A -- HE'S A
MISUNDERSTOOD ALGORITHM. [ LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: THAT IS THE FIRST TIME THAT ANYONE'S EVER CALLED IT
THAT. YEAH, IT'S A MISUNDERSTOOD
ALGORITHM, YEAH. I GUESS SO, YEAH.
HE DOESN'T CONSIDER HIMSELF A VILLAIN.
>> WHAT -- WHAT VILLAINS DO? I MEAN, YOU'VE INTERVIEWED SOME
OF THEM. THEY RARELY DO.
[ LAUGHTER ] >> Jimmy: YOU PLAYED BASKETBALL
WITH A BUNCH OF FAMOUS PEOPLE OVER THE YEARS.
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT SOME OF THEM. WHO IS SURPRISINGLY A DIRTY
PLAYER? >> I WON'T GO ALL THE WAY TO
DIRTY, BUT ADAM SANDLER DOES LIKE TO THROW HIS --
>> Jimmy: WHAT? >> GIRTH AROUND SOMEWHAT?
>> Jimmy: WHAT? SANDMAN?
>> YEAH. SANDMAN LIKES TO, LIKE, GET IN A
LOW POST AND, KIND OF -- YOU KNOW, KIND OF, BOOTY BACK, AND
BOUNCE, AND A LITTLE CHICKEN WING.
>> Jimmy: YEAH. CHICKEN WING.
>> HE'S OLD SCHOOL. HE'S OLD SCHOOL.
HE'S OLD SCHOOL WHEN THAT KIND OF STUFF WASN'T ILLEGAL.
YOU KNOW? [ LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: YEAH, WHAT WAS PLAYING WITH OBAMA LIKE,
PRESIDENT OBAMA? >> THAT WAS A LOT OF FUN.
IT WAS -- IT WAS GREAT. HE WAS NOT ON MY TEAM, SO I WAS
PLAYING AGAINST HIM, WHICH WAS -- WHICH WAS ALSO GOOD
BECAUSE I REALLY WANTED TO BEAT HIM.
[ LIGHT LAUGHTER ] BUT THE PERSON ON MY TEAM THAT
WAS GUARDING HIM DIDN'T REALLY PUT IT ON HIM, KIND OF LIKE, YOU
WANT SOMEONE TO IN A BASKETBALL GAME.
I'M LIKE, "LOOK, I KNOW HE'S THE PRESIDENT AND I KNOW THE SECRET
SERVICE RIGHT THERE AND WILL PROBABLY KILL YOU IF YOU HURT
HIM, BUT YOU HAVE TO PLAY HARD. HE'S A COMPETITOR.
HE DOESN'T WANT YOU TO TAKE IT EASY ON HIM, SO GUARD THIS
DUDE." AND HE JUST KEPT LETTING HIM GO
AROUND HIM. AND HE'S LIKE, HE'S THE
PRESIDENT. AND I WAS LIKE, "LOOK, YOU WANT
ME TO TAKE HIM?" HE'S LIKE, "NO, I'LL TAKE HIM."
I'M LIKE, "THEN TAKE HIM." [ LAUGHTER ]
SO HE WENT AROUND HIM ONE TIME, I SAID, "LOOK, FOUL HIM."
AND THE PRESIDENT LOOKED AT ME AND HE SAID, "DID YOU JUST, SAY
FOUL HIM?'" [ LAUGHTER ]
I SAID, "YES, MR. PRESIDENT." I SAID, "FOUL HIM."
>> Jimmy: I LOVE THAT YOU CALLED IT OUT.
FOUL THE PRESIDENT. YEAH, C'MON, PLAY BALL.
>> FOUL THIS DUDE. YES.
>> Jimmy: HE WOULD RESPECT YOU MORE IF YOU PLAYED.
>> EXACTLY. >> Jimmy: THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.
WELL, I'M PSYCHED ABOUT "SPACE JAM: A NEW LEGACY."
I'M SO HAPPY EVERYTIME WHEN YOU COME ON THE SHOW.
I WANT TO SHOW EVERYONE A CLIP. HERE'S DON CHEADLE AND
LeBRON JAMES IN "SPACE JAM: A NEW LEGACY," OUT THIS FRIDAY.

** WELL DESERVED.
>> THANKS. IT WAS VERY NICE.

>> I'VE GIVEN YOU SOME FAKE NUMBERS.
>> Jimmy: YES, YOU ACTUALLY HAVE.
>> YEAH, FOR THAT PURPOSE.]E >> Jimmy: YOU AND DON CHEADLE.
YEAH, NO ONE GIVES ME THEIR REAL NUMBER.
BUT YOU DO -- AND EVERY WEEK YOU TOP YOURSELF.
AND YOU CRUSH IT EVERY WEEK. AND, YOU KNOW, EVERYONE LOVES
YOU. BUT DUDE, JEANINE PIRRO.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> IT'S VERY FUN, AND SHE LOVES
ME THE MOST. >> Jimmy: BUT YOU GOING INTO THE
GIANT BOX OF WINE -- >> YEAH.
>> Jimmy: SINGING "MY WAY" AND JUST WHIPPING WINE AT
COLIN JOST -- >> WHY NOT?
COLIN LOVES IT MORE THAN ANYONE. I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE
IT. >> Jimmy: YOU KNOW WHAT'S GREAT?
IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S SO MUCH FUN THAT YOU'RE HAVING OUT THERE.
THAT'S THE SECRET TO THE WHOLE THING.
>> I MEAN, AND IT'S LIKE YOU CAN TELL THEM, "FINE, IF I'M GOING
TO DO PIRRO AGAIN, I NEED TO --" "WELL, I BARFED WINE LAST TIME,
SO I SHOULD GET IN A TUB OF WINE THIS TIME."
>> Jimmy: YOU'LL TOP YOURSELF. YOU KNOW, RICH IS LIKE, "OKAY,
WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT." >> Jimmy: YEAH, RICH.
>> YEAH, YEAH. [ LAUGHTER ]
AND THEN I MEAN, EVEN LIKE THE SAFETY GUY AT SOME POINT SAID TO
ME BEFOREHAND, HE WAS LIKE "OKAY, I'VE TESTED GETTING INTO
THE GRAPEFRUIT JUICE." AND I KEPT GOING, "WHY
GRAPEFRUIT JUICE? WHAT DOES THAT EVEN LOOK LIKE?"
I THINK IT WAS GRAPE JUICE. SO THAT WAS A WEIRD THING.
>> Jimmy: THAT'S STICKS IN YOUR HEAD?
>> ANYWAY, SO I WAS LIKE, "HAVE YOU BEEN THROWING GRAPEFRUIT
JUICE IN YOUR EYE?" AND HE KEPT SAYING, "DON'T OPEN
YOUR EYES IN THE GRAPEFRUIT JUICE.
IT STINGS." [ LAUGHTER ]
AND I WAS LIKE, "WHAT DO YOU THINK I'M GOING TO BE DOING IN
THIS?" >> Jimmy: YEAH.
>> GET IN THE TUB -- >> Jimmy: YEAH, YEAH.
>> -- LIKE IT'S WATER? YEAH.
>> Jimmy: JUMPING IN AND DUNKING QUICK.
>> I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU HAD TO THROW GRAPEFRUIT JUICE IN YOUR
EYES. >> Jimmy: IT WAS A GOOD WARNING
FROM HIM, BUT YOU CRUSHED IT EITHER WAY.
I WANT TO TALK ABOUT "SCHMIGADOON."
I'VE HEARD ABOUT THIS. [ CHEERS ]
I KNEW IT GOING INTO PRODUCTION. I WAS LIKE, "OH, THIS IS GONNA
BE --" YOU, KEEGAN-MICHAEL KEY.
>> I LOVE IT SO MUCH. >> Jimmy: DUDE, THE PRODUCTION
ON THIS THING IS INSANITY. >> YES, YEAH.
>> Jimmy: CAN YOU SET IT UP IN A COUPLE LINES OR WHAT IT'S ABOUT?
>> SURE, I THINK SO. I HOPE SO.
>> Jimmy: YEAH. >> IT'S A COUPLE THAT IS KIND OF
AT A STALE POINT IN THEIR RELATIONSHIP.
>> Jimmy: YEP. >> THEY'RE DOCTORS AND THEY GO
ON A HIKE AS ONE DOES TO FIX IT. >> Jimmy: YEAH.
>> AND THEY GET LOST IN A TOWN THAT TURNS OUT TO BE A MUSICAL.
AND THEY CAN'T LEAVE UNTIL THEY FIND TRUE LOVE, WHICH IS STRANGE
TO HEAR IF YOU THINK YOU'RE IN LOVE.
>> Jimmy: THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
I LOVE THAT. THEY'RE STUCK IN THIS TOWN --
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> YEAH.
>> Jimmy: AND BY THE WAY, SOME HEAVY HITTERS IN THIS,
ALAN CUMMING, KRISTIN CHENOWETH. >> YES.
>> Jimmy: SHE -- HOW POWERFUL? >> SHE'S UNREAL.
I FEEL LIKE SHE MADE A QUOTABLE LINE OUT OF EVERY LINE SHE HAD.
>> Jimmy: YEAH. >> SHE WAS JUST LIKE, "OH, YES
YOU DO." JUST DOES -- AND I WAS LIKE,
"WOW, THAT'S HOW -- YOU CAN YES, THANK YOU.
>> Jimmy: IT'S JUST POWERFUL. >> IT JUST -- "AHEM."
>> Jimmy: YEAH, JUST A -- >> I GUESS NO ONE SAYS "AHEM."
>> Jimmy: NO ONE DOES "AHEM." >> THAT'S HOW IT'S WRITTEN, BUT
THAT'S NOT HOW YOU SAY IT. [ CLEAR THROATS ]
