[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Jimmy: THAT'S WHAT I'M
TALKING ABOUT.
THAT IS A HOT CROWD.
THAT IS A HOT NEW YORK CITY
CROWD RIGHT THERE, LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
THAT'S WHAT WE GET.
WELCOME.
WELCOME TO "THE TONIGHT SHOW."
I'M SO HAPPY YOU'RE HERE, YOU
GUYS.
HERE'S WHAT PEOPLE ARE TALKING
ABOUT.
I SAW THAT TODAY A WHITE HOUSE
ADVISER COMPARED PRESIDENT
TRUMP TO HOUDINI.
[ LAUGHTER ]
BECAUSE, QUOTE, "IF YOU KEEP
HIM IN A CAGE, HE'S GOING TO
GET OUT."
[ LAUGHTER ]
WHEN ASKED HOW HE KNOWS THAT,
HE SAID, "BECAUSE WE PUT HIM IN
A CAGE AND HE GOT OUT."
[ LAUGHTER ]
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
HE SAID, "TRUMP'S LIKE
HOUDINI."
IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, TRUMP IS
A PRETTY GOOD MAGICIAN, 'CAUSE
IN THE PAST YEAR HE SAWED HIS
APPROVAL RATING IN HALF AND
MADE EVERYONE WHO WORKED FOR
HIM DISAPPEAR.
[ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE ]
NOT BAD.
I'LL GIVE YOU THAT.
IN THE MEANTIME TRUMP KEEPS
DEMANDING MONEY FOR HIS BORDER
WALL, EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE
LIMITED FUNDS.
TRUMP IS LIKE THAT COUPLE ON
"HOUSE HUNTERS" WHO WANTS A
A FIVE-BEDROOM MANSION ON A
A $70,000 BUDGET.
[ LAUGHTER ]
"AND IT HAS TO HAVE MARBLE
COUNTERTOPS.
THAT IS A MUST, I WON'T EVEN
LOOK AT IT."
[ LAUGHTER ]
STILL, THE WHITE HOUSE IS
CALLING THE DEAL THAT REOPENED
THE GOVERNMENT A WIN FOR
REPUBLICANS AND A LOSS FOR
SENATOR CHUCK SCHUMER.
WELL, WE ACTUALLY GOT AHOLD OF
SCHUMER, AND HERE'S WHAT HE HAD
TO SAY.
FIRST HE SAID, "THIS WAS A
A TEMPORARY DEAL TO GET THE
GOVERNMENT UP AND RUNNING
AGAIN."
THEN HE SAID, "MITCH McCONNELL
PROMISED ME THAT WE WILL TALK
ABOUT D.A.C.A.
THEN HE SAID, "WE DIDN'T CAVE
AND WE'LL CONTINUE FIGHTING FOR
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE."
AND THEN HE SAID, "IT'SH NOT
SHO HARD TO SHEE THAT
REPUBLICANS WON'T NEGOTIATE,
CERTAINLY."
[ LAUGHTER ]
AND FINALLY HIS NECKLACE SAID,
"DUDE, I'M ACTUALLY A PAIR OF
GLASSES."
[ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE ]
IT JUST KEPT GOING -- FALLING
AS HE WAS --
MEANWHILE THE WHITE HOUSE
ANNOUNCED NEW RESTRICTIONS ON
WASHING MACHINES IMPORTED TO
THE U.S.
IT'S PARTIALLY TO PROTECT
CONSUMERS, MAINLY BECAUSE TRUMP
WAS EATING TOO MANY TIDE PODS.
[ LAUGHTER ]
DON'T DO THAT, DON'T DO THAT.
[ APPLAUSE ]
I SAW THAT MELANIA WAS SUPPOSED
TO GO TO SWITZERLAND WITH
DONALD THIS WEEK, BUT IS
BACKING OUT DUE TO, QUOTE,
"LOGISTICAL ISSUES."
IT TURNS OUT MELANIA USES A LOT
OF DIFFERENT EXCUSES TO GET OUT
OF THINGS WITH HER HUSBAND.
SHE EVEN HAS HER OWN EXCUSE
GENERATOR TO COME UP WITH THEM.
I'LL SHOW YOU HOW IT WORKS.
FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN DONALD ASKS,
"DO YOU WANT TO JOIN ME AT A
A CAMPAIGN FUNDRAISER?"
SHE SAYS --
[ COMPUTER CALCULATING ]
[ LAUGHTER ]
"UNFORTUNATELY I'M ACTUALLY
ATTENDING A FUNDRAISER FOR
OPRAH."
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Steve: IT WORKS.
>> Jimmy: YOU SEE HOW IT WORKS?
NEXT UP, WHEN DONALD ASKS, "DO
YOU WANT TO WATCH THE
SUPER BOWL WITH ME?"
SHE SAYS --
[ COMPUTER CALCULATING ]
"I TOTALLY WOULD, BUT THERE'S A
A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN IN MY
MIND."
[ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Steve: WOW.
>> Jimmy: AND FINALLY, WHEN
DONALD ASKS, "DO YOU WANT TO
HAVE DINNER WITH THE BRITISH
AMBASSADOR?"
SHE SAYS --
[ COMPUTER CALCULATING ]
"I CAN'T, I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT
TO TAKE OUR DOG TO THE VET
RIGHT AFTER I BUY US A DOG."
WELL, THAT'S INTERESTING.
YOU DON'T HAVE A DOG.
HEY, OSCAR NOMINEES WERE
ANNOUNCED TODAY, YOU GUYS.
THE NOMINEES --
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
THAT'S EXCITING.
NOMINEES FOR BEST PICTURE
INCLUDE "LADYBIRD," "GET OUT,"
AND "THE SHAPE OF WATER."
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
WHILE THE FAVORITE FOR "WORST
PICTURE" IS STILL THIS.
OH, THAT'S UNFORTUNATE.
[ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE ]
HEY, THIS IS COOL.
THE HISTORY CHANNEL SHOW "PAWN
STARS" IS CELEBRATING ITS 500TH
EPISODE.
TO CELEBRATE, THE NETWORK GAVE
THE PRODUCERS GOLD WATCHES,
WHICH THEY IMMEDIATELY KNEW
WERE FAKE.
[ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE ]
FINALLY, I SAW THAT A GROCERY
STORE IN SCOTLAND HAD TO LET AN
EMPLOYEE GO FOR NOT BEING
HELPFUL ENOUGH TO CUSTOMERS.
BUT IT'S KIND OF AN ODD STORY.
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS VIDEO.
>> A ROBOT NAMED FABIO WAS
RECENTLY GIVEN HIS ROLLING
PAPERS FROM A SCOTTISH GROCERY
STORE AFTER HE FAILED AT, WELL,
BEING HUMAN.
HE ALLEGEDLY WOULD NOT LISTEN
TO DIRECTIONS AND HAD OFTEN
DIRECTED PEOPLE TO THE ALCOHOL
AISLE WHEN IT DIDN'T KNOW HOW
TO ANSWER A CUSTOMER.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: THE GOOD NEWS IS,
WHEN THEY HEARD HE WASN'T
HELPING ANYONE, HE WAS
IMMEDIATELY HIRED BY HOME
DEPOT.
THERE YOU GO.
WE HAVE A GREAT SHOW TONIGHT.

AS LARGE AS RADIO CITY.

I'M AT REHEARSAL AND I GO UP
THERE AND I SAY, "BRUCE, THINK
ABOUT THE SIZE OF THIS STAGE.
