REASONS, LAUREN.
IT'S NOT -- >> HE HAD THE ROOM OPEN -- THE
DOOR OPEN TO HIS SCREEN ROOM AND HIS SHIRT WAS OFF AND --
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] -- HE LOOKED GOOD.
IT'S VERY UNPROFESSIONAL THAT I WAS LINGERING A BIT.
>> James: I DID WONDER WHY SO MANY MEMBERS OF THE STAFF WERE
UP IN THE GREEN ROOM EARLIER.
NOW, I KNOW WHY.
IN NOAH CENTINEO'S NEW SERIES, "THE RECRUIT," HE PLAYS A C.I.A.
EMPLOYEE.
BAND, REGGIE, WHO ON THE LATE, LATE SHOW STAFF DO YOU THINK
WOULD MAKE THE BEST SPIES?
>> Reggie: IT'S HAGAR BECAUSE ALL OF HER LANGUAGES.

LIKE A FEMALE BOND.
YEAH.
>> SCOTTY?
>> James: SCOTTY AS A SPY?
>> HE'S SO STEALTH, YEAH.
>> James: STEALTH?
STEALTH?
SCOTTY STEALTH?
>> YEAH!
>> James: HAVE YOU SEEN HIM TRY TO DISCREETLY MOVE THAT
CAMERA BEHIND THAT CURTAIN?
IT'S THE LEAST STEALTH THING I'VE EVER SEEN!
IT'S LIKE -- ON OCCASION ON THE SHOW, WE'LL BE DOING THE SHOW
HERE AND SCOTTY STEALTHILY HAS TO MOVE BEYOND THE CURTAINS AND
MOVE SOMEWHERE ELSE ON THE SET.
LET ME BREAK IT DOWN FOR YOU.
WHILE I'M DOING THAT, THIS IS HAPPENING.
MIND OUT, SCOTTY.
MOVE OUT ONE MINUTE.
UNPLUG.
UNPLUG HERE.
THIS IS WHAT IS HAPPENING.
IT'S THIS, RIGHT?
YOU GET THIS, OK?
I'LL BE SAYING, I'LL BE SAYING, YOU KNOW -- AND HE'S HERE,
RIGHT?
AND THEN SOMEONE WILL SAY INTO HIS EAR, TIM MANCENELLI, SAY
OVER THE SPEAKERS, "SCOTTY, AS QUIETLY AS YOU CAN, JUST TRY TO
MOVE TO THE BACK OF THE SET."
>> SCOTTY, AS QUIETLY AS YOU CA CAN, CAN YOU JUST MOVE INTO
PLACE?
>> James: GOT IT.
OK.
[LAUGHTER]
HE WOULD BE THE SINGLE WORST SPY ON PLANET EARTH!
[APPLAUSE] IT'S THAT TIME, IT'S TIME FOR
THE NEWS!
>> Reggie: THE NEWS.
>> James: EARLIER TODAY, THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION WAS FOUND
GUILTY OF CRIMINAL TAX FRAUD, AFTER A JURY CONVICTED THE
ORGANIZATION ON ALL 17 COUNTS.
THE FIRST CRIMINAL CONVICTION AGAINST ONE OF DONALD TRUMP'S
COMPANIES.
NOWORD YET ON HOW THIS IS GOING TO IMPACT TRUMP'S RE-ELECTION
CAMPAIGN.
BUT THAT'S PROBABLY BECAUSE IT WON'T.
[LAUGHTER] EXECUTIVES IN THE ORGANIZATION
RECEIVED FANCY APARTMENTS, MERCEDES-BENZES, EVEN PRIVATE
SCHOOL TUITION FOR RELATIVES, NONE OF WHICH THEY PAID TAXES
ON.
I JUST HAVE TO ASK...
ARE THEY HIRING?
[LAUGHTER] A LOT OF US ARE FREE AFTER
APRIL!
DID THIS REALLY NEED A JURY?
TAX FRAUD IS TRUMP'S WHOLE THING.
ISN'T IT?
TAX FRAUD, LONG TIES, AND DOING THIS WITH HIS HANDS.
[LAUGHTER] THAT'S -- THAT'S THE WHOLE SHOW
AND AN ENCORE OF THE YMCA.
IT'S BASICALLY IT.
WHILE THE ORGANIZATION WAS FOUND GUILTY, THERE WERE NO CHARGES
AGAINST DONALD TRUMP HIMSELF.
HOW IS THE ORGANIZATION GUILTY, BUT NOT DONALD TRUMP?
THIS IS LIKE IF MCDONALD'S GOT IN TROUBLE, BUT THE HAMBURGLER
GOT OFF SCOT-FREE!
[LAUGHTER] YOU [BLEEP].
[LAUGHTER] YOU BASTARDS!
DON'T THINK YOU'RE NOT COMPLICIT IN THIS, LAUREN.
TIM AND JOHN THERE.
WE HAD A LONG DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS.
ROB AND I WERE VERY MUCH IN THE CMP THAT THE JOKE WOULD WORK
BETTER IF McDONALD'S WAS CHARGED AND RONALD McDONALD
GOT OFF SCOT-FREE.
>> TRY IT.
>> I'M NOT GOING TO TRY IT, TIM.
I'M NOT GOING TO TRY IT.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT?
DO YOU KNOW WHAT I'D LIKE FOR YOU TO DO?
I WANT THE BOTH OF YOU TO GO SIT ON THE STEPS -- I WOULD LIKE THE
PAIR OF YOU NOW TO GO AND SIT AT THE TOP STEP THERE AND THINK
ABOUT WHAT YOU'VE DONE.
OK?
THE TOP STEP.
[APPLAUSE] NO.
HANG ON!
WAIT!
WAIT.
HANG ON.
TIM.
WAIT!
TIM AND JOHN.
COME BACK.
THEY SHOULD NOT BE APPLAUDED!/Pu SO COME BACK.
COME BACK.
AND I WOULD LIKE THIS TO BE -- I WOULD LIKE THIS TO BE CLOSER TO
"GAME OF THRONES!" OK?
SO MY PITCH WAS IT WOULD BE LIKE IF McDONALD'S GOT AROUND
CHARGES AND RONALD McDONALD GOT OFF SCOT-FREE AND HE'S GOING
IT'S CLEARLY THE HAMBURGLER THANK YOU, MADAM.
SHAME.
>> IT'S THE AUDIENCE'S FAULT.
IT'S THE AUDIENCE!
[CHANTING SHAME] [LAUGHTER]
>> James: SIT THERE AND THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU'VE DONE.
[LAUGHTER] IN OTHER POTENTIALLY BAD NEWS
FOR THE FORMER PRESIDENT, THE CHAIR OF THE JANUARY 6TH
COMMITTEE SAID TODAY THAT THE COMMITTEE WILL, IN FACT, ISSUE
CRIMINAL REFERRALS TO THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.
HE GAVE NO OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT WHO, EXACTLY, WOULD BE
REFERRED, OR WHAT CHARGES.
SORRY.
BUT TO FIND OUT WHO, YOU JUST HAVE TO TUNE INTO THIS SEASON OF
"THE MASKED SINGER."
[LAUGHTER] LOOK OUT FOR THE PANDA!
THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING!
WHY IS HE BEING SO COY ABOUT IT?
"A CERTAIN SOMEONE...
NOT GOING TO SAY WHO, DON'T WANT TO HURT THEIR FEELINGS."
IN OTHER NEWS, LAST NIGHT, THE PRESIDENT AND THE FIRST LADY
HOSTED THE WHITE HOUSE CONGRESSIONAL BALL, AN ANNUAL
HOLIDAY PARTY FOR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.
HERE THEY ARE LAST NIGHT.
LOOK AT THE PRESIDENT.
LOOK AT THAT.
HE LOOKS LIKE HE'S WALKING INTO THE PLACE THINKING HE'S
ABOUT TO ABSOLUTELY CRUSH THE LIMBO CONTEST.
EVERYONE IN CONGRESS WAS INVITED, SO ALL OF THE
POLITICAL CHARACTERS YOU KNOW AND LOVE WERE THERE.
AND ALSO TED CRUZ.
[LAUGHTER] IT WAS THE FIRST OF MANY
WHITE HOUSE HOLIDAY PARTIES THIS SEASON, WHICH MEANS IT WAS
THE FIRST OF MANY TIMES AN AIDE WILL HAVE TO TELL THE PRESIDENT,
"SIR, HOLDING UP MISTLETOE ISN'T REALLY APPROPRIATE ANYMORE."
[LAUGHTER] AND, THIS IS TRUE.
ACCORDING TO SOME JOURNALISTS, PEOPLE WERE COMPLAINING ABOUT
THE FOOD SERVED AT LAST NIGHT'S CONGRESSIONAL BALL.
THE COMPLAINT SEEMS TO BE THAT THERE "WASN'T ENOUGH" FOOD AND
THAT "IT WASN'T AS GOOD AS THE OBAMA YEARS."
HEY, CUT THE GUY A BREAK.
BIDEN GREW UP DURING THE GREAT DEPRESSION.
[LAUGHTER] YOU'RE LUCKY YOU AREN'T EATING A
CUP OF DUST.
[LAUGHTER] THAT SAID, THERE WERE NO
COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE FOOD FROM BERNIE SANDERS, WHO BROUGHT HIS
OWN ZIPLOCK FULL OF TUNA FISH.
[LAUGHTER] THEY SAID THE FOOD WASN'T AS
GOOD AS THE OBAMA YEARS.
LISTEN, IF WE'RE GOING TO START GETTING INTO THINGS THAT "AREN'T
AS GOOD AS THE OBAMA YEARS?" THE FOOD AT THE HOLIDAY PARTY
ISN'T EVEN CLOSE TO THE TOP OF THE LIST.
[LAUGHTER] AND, DID YOU GUYS HEAR ABOUT
ELON MUSK TELLING TWITTER EMPLOYEES THAT THEY NEED TO WORK
HARDER?
WELL, AS A RESULT, MUSK HAS CONVERTED SOME OF THE EMPTY
TWITTER OFFICES INTO BEDROOMS FOR WHEN EMPLOYEES ARE THERE
OVERNIGHT.
YEAH, THAT'S WHAT HE'S DOING.
OR HE COULD JUST, YOU KNOW, NOT FIRE HALF THE STAFF.
YOU HAVE TO WORK TWICE AS HARD AND HALF OF YOU ARE FIRED!
MUSK CONVERTED OFFICES TO BEDROOMS SO THAT TWITTER
EMPLOYEES CAN WORK THROUGH THE NIGHT.
ALL THIS, SO SOMEBODY NAMED "HARRY-POTHEAD-69" CAN TWEET
"LUNCH IS A VIBE."
[LAUGHTER] BUT THIS IS OVERKILL.
YOU DON'T NEED A FANCY ROOM WITH A QUEEN-SIZED BED TO SLEEP
AT WORK.
JUST ASK LOUIS!
HE REGULARLY -- HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU SLEPT AT WORK, LOUIS?
>> I'M FALLING ASLEEP NOW.
>> James: OK!
AND WE WANTED TO TELL YOU ABOUT THIS LATEST FITNESS CRAZE HERE
INLOS ANGELES!
IT'S WORKING OUT WHILE HIGH.
NEW COMPANIES ARE POPPING UP IN RESPONSE TO RESEARCH SHOWING
SOME MARIJUANA USERS REPORT MORE PLEASURE FROM COMBINING
CARDIO AND CANNABIS.
NOT FOR ME.
IF I WENT TO THE GYM STONED, I'D SPEND TWO FULL HOURS
BOUNCING ON ONE OF THOSE YOGA BALLS, EAT NINE PROTEIN BARS,
AND IMMEDIATELY FALL ASLEEP ON A TREADMILL.
[LAUGHTER] I GOT TO WONDER IF THIS IS
REALLY "A CRAZE!" LIKE, IS IT ACTUALLY "A CRAZE?"
EVERYONE IN LOS ANGELES IS STONED ALL THE TIME.
EVENTUALLY, A COUPLE OF THEM ARE GOING TO GO TO THE GYM.
THIS IS TRUE-- ONE OF THE NEW CANNABIS-FRIENDLY
WORKOUTS IS CALLED "STONED AND TONED."
IT'S A BIT STRANGE.
BUT AT LEAST IT'S HEALTHIER THAN THIS NEW GYM DOWN THE STREET,
"COKED AND YOKED."
[LAUGHTER] AND THAT'S THE NEWS.

CENTINEO WAS SORT OF AN EARLY BIEBER, EARLY ONE DIRECTION GUY.
>> IT'S CRAZY YOU SAY THAT I USED TO GET RECOGNIZED AS JUSTIN
BIEBER ALL THE TIME.
>> James: YOU DON'T SAY.
>> LIKE, I REMEMBER I WAS ON A CRUISE AND I HAD AN ARMY OF
PEOPLE, LIKE, CHASING AFTER ME THINKING I WAS JUSTIN BIEBER AND
I JUST RAN AS FAST AS I COULD.
AND IT WASN'T UNTIL THE SECOND DAY OF THE CRUISE THAT THEY
REALIZED I WAS A FRAUD.
I PLAYED INTO IT A LITTLE BIT.
>> James: LOOK, I UNDERSTAND IT.
GOOD-LOOKING GUY.
SO GOOD-LOOKING.

ISSUE.

>> WHY?
WHY IS THERE A CAT?
>> James: TALK TO ME ABOUT THIS.
WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.
WHO SAYS LET'S PUT A CAT YOU ON?
>> I'VE BEEN ASKING MYSELF THAT SAME QUESTION EVER SINCE.
>> James: RIGHT.
>> BUT IT SORT OF CAME UP AND THEY WERE LIKE, DO YOU HAVE
ANIMALS AT HOME.
AND I WAS LIKE, YEAH, I GREW UP ON A FARM.
OF COURSE I HAVE ANIMALS AND THEY'RE LIKE, GREAT.
DO YOU HAVE A CAT?
I SAID, SURE, WE HAVE A CAT.
THEY SAID, BRING YOUR CAT DOWN.
WE'RE GOING TO TAKE PICTURES OF YOU AND YOUR CAT.
THAT TURNED INTO THAT.
>> OH, IT'S YOUR CAT?
>> YEAH, THE SHEEP DIDN'T SOUND AS COOL BUT -- SO I BROUGHT THE
CAT AND IT'S ACTUALLY A CAT THAT I GOT -- FUNNY STORY -- ON THE
PACIFIER WITH CHRISTIAN STEWART BECAUSE WE WERE REALLY CLOSE.
THAT'S WHY THE CAT IS NAMED KRISTIN, SHE HAS A CAT NAMED
MAX.
WE HAVE THE TWO CATS.
THE BEST PART OF IT IS WHEN THE DRIVER CAME TO PICK UP THE CAT
TO GET IT TO NORCAL, HE SAID, I'M HERE TO PICK UP KRISTIN.
I SAID, THIS IS KRISTIN JANE.
HE SAYS, IT'S A CAT?
I'M DRIVING A CAT?
I SAID, YES.
SIX-HOUR DRIVE TO TAKE THE CAT UP TO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA.
THE CAT IS SCREAMING THE WHOLE TIME.
THIS DUDE IS DRIVING THERE -- I'M SURE HE GOT TO CRANK THE
RADIO WHICH YOU DON'T NORMALLY GET TO DO BUT --

PHOTO -- >> I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU THAT
ONE.

HE GETS ASSIGNED A CASE OF A FORMER ASSET.
ASSET IS SOMEONE C.I.A. PAYS FOR INFORMATION.
THERE'S A LETTER, A CASE WHERE THE FORMER ASSET IS THREATENING
THAT IF WE DON'T GET HER OUT OF PRISON THEN SHE'S GOING TO
REVEAL EVERYTHING SHE KNOWS ABOUT THE C.I.A.
I GET ASSIGNED TO THAT.
FORMER ASSET TO WHAT SHE KNOWS.

BALL OF FLAME.
I FELL BACK.
I WAS LIKE, OH!
I WAS LIVING WITH MY SISTER, HER BOYFRIEND AND MY FRIEND AT THE
TIME.
MY FRIEND JUST TURNED THE CORNER AND HAD SEEN THIS MASSIVE
EXPLOSION IN MY ROOM.
I COME BACK.
I LOOK.
I GET BLOWN BACK.
I SEE EVERYTHING -- THERE'S FIRE ALL OVER THE PLACE AND SO, LIKE,
I TAKE THE TOWEL OFF AND PUT IT ON EVERYTHING.
AND IT WAS GONE AND THAT WAS IT BUTTHEY TOOK AWAY MY RIGHT TO
LIGHT CANDLES.
>> James: THAT IS THE ADVICE.
DON'T THROW WATER ONTO A CANDLE.
IT SEEMS LIKE -- YOU WANT A NICE, DAMP CLOTH, TOWEL TO LAY
THAT ON AND YOU'LL DO THAT AND IT'S -- IT'S A LESSON FOR ALL OF
US.
>> THAT'S TRUE.
>> James: THAT'S WHY THEY CALL IT A NAKED FLAME.
[LAUGHTER] REGGIE, DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION
FOR ANY OF OUR GUESTS THIS EVENING?
>> Reggie: I REALLY DO THIS EVENING.
AND TONIGHT'S QUESTION I WOULD LIKE TO INITIATE A DRUMROLL...
[DRUM ROLL] IF YOU WERE IN SOME KIND OF A
CAR, RIGHT, AND YOU'RE DRIVING AND YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAVE TO
JUMP LIKE A CERTAIN DISTANCE TO CLEAR, LIKE, OVER A SMALL CREEK
OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BECAUSE YOU GOT SOME, LIKE, SOME, LIKE,
CRITTERS THAT KNOW -- THEY'RE INTELLIGENT SOMEHOW THROUGH
GENETIC TESTING AND THEY'RE ABLE TO DRIVE VEHICLES AND THEY'RE
CHASING BEHIND YOU LIKE A RACCOON JUST BABBLING OR
WHATEVER, THAT KIND OF STUFF, AND ALSO MAYBE SOME HOOPING OR
HOLLERING.
AND YOU'RE DRIVING A VEHICLE AND YOU KNOW THE WHOLE WAY TO ESCAPE
IS YOU HAVE TO JUMP OVER THIS CREEK, UM, KIND OF MAKE DUKES OF
HAZZARD STYLE?
WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
WOULD YOU DO THAT OR JUST STAND DOWN AND TRY TO FIGHT THEM OR
JUST SIMPLY THINK MAYBE IT'S A SIMULATION AND YELL INTO THE SKY
AND SIMULATION?
[LAUGHTER] >> I THINK I WOULD JUST THROW IT
IN REVERSE AND TRY TO GO FOR THE BACK UP OVER HIM MOVE.
>> James: NOAH?
>> I'LL TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT I WOULD DO, REGGIE.
I'M HAPPY YOU ASKED THAT QUESTION.
I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS A LONG TIME.
I'M GOING TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.
I WOULD PULL THE STONE FROM THE BACK SEAT OF THE CAR FORWARD AND
PLANT IT ON THE GAS PEDAL.
I WOULD OPEN THE WINDOW AND CLIMB OUTSIDE OF THE CAR ONTO
THE HOOD OF THE CAR AND WAIT UNTIL WE GOT TO THE APEX OF OUR
CURVE OFF THAT JUMP DUKES OF HAZZARD AND THEN I WOULD JUMP
WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO GO DOWN AND I WOULD SCREAM "YEE-HAW"
TAKE THAT RACCOONS!
AND THEN I WOULD JUST LAND ON THE OTHER SIDE.
>> James: REG?
>> Reggie: BOTH OF THOSE ANSWERS ARE CORRECT.
>> James: THEY'RE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
PLEASE THANK OUR INCREDIBLE GUESTS, NOAH CENTINEO AND
MAX THIERIOT!
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH A PERFORMANCE FROM SYNCOPATED
LADIES!
>> James: WELCOME BACK.
