-Welcome, welcome, welcome to "The Tonight Show."
You’re here. You made it.
Thank you for watching. Well, it was a crazy,
windy day here in New York City, wasn’t it?
Yeah. Gusts were reaching 60 miles an hour.
60 miles an hour? Yeah.
It was great coming into work. I felt like Beyoncé.
Uh...
That's how I was waving to people, huh?
Uh, the wind was so strong today,
Boeing put extra scotch tape on their wings.
I thought that was nice.
Meanwhile, daylight savings was over the weekend,
and today is considered the foggiest day of the year.
This morning, everyone in the office
had the vibe of Al Pacino at the Oscars.
Do you know what I’m saying? That’s right.
Last night was the 96th Oscars. Congratulations to Jimmy Kimmel,
who did a great job hosting, by the way.
Good man. Great job.
"Oppenheimer" was the big winner,
taking home seven awards, including Best Picture,
while the award for Most Paused Picture
went to John Cena.
And... [ Cheers and applause ]
I mean, God bless John.
I could never do something like that.
If I did, I’d win the Oscar for Best Short.
Do you know what I’m saying? You know?
Hey, as I mentioned, people are talking about this.
Al Pacino presented the award for Best Picture,
and he sparked some confusion with the way
he announced the winner. Take a look at this.
-Ten wonderful films were nominated,
but only one will take the award for Best Picture.
And I have to go to the envelope for that.
Here it comes.
And my eyes see "Oppenheimer."
Yes, yes.
-It’s okay. That wasn’t the whole point
of the night or anything. I mean, wow.
Well, switching gears some political news.
When asked whether he would debate former President Trump,
President Biden said "It depends on his behavior."
Ooh, it’s hard because usually when you hear the words Trump,
Biden, and "depends" in the same sentence,
it’s about something else.
Uh, yeah, it depends on Trump’s behavior.
Good luck with that.
Trump’s been in his terrible twos
for the last 75 years.
Well, this is big.
Congress is thinking about banning TikTok.
Yeah. There’s -- Wow.
They’re saying it’s a national security threat
because of its ties to China, and now a bill to a ban --
to ban the app is headed to the house.
And it really caught people off guard, kind of like...
-Oh, my gosh, what do I do?
-Because people really love TikTok.
They’re not going to go down easy, kind of like...
-[ Gasps ] Poke a hole in it.
[ Chokes ]
-They just want to have fun at the app.
But it could all come crashing down, kind of like...
-That’s a -- [ Laughs ]
How often does that happen?
-Hey, Ronnie. Hey, Billy. Hey, man.
You didn’t take the front door.
You came through the ceiling that time.
Yeah, the company could reach a deal with lawmakers,
but we need a breakthrough, kind of like...
[ Laughter ]
-[ Gasping ]
-Anyways, here’s hoping they can work it out
or else they’re going to fall on their face, kind of like...
-We'd never ask you students to do anything
we wouldn’t do ourselves.
-Well, we'll see what happens. We’ll see what happens.
So more business news -- I saw that Airbnb
has banned indoor security cameras.
Yeah. I’ll give you a minute to remember
every Airbnb you ever stayed in and what you did there.
So now, if you want to be creepily spied on,
you’ll have to stay at Motel 6.
I’m sorry. Well, listen to this.
I read that a vegan bakery in New York
is under investigation for allegedly
trying to pass off Dunkin Donuts as their own.
People got suspicious when the vegan donuts tasted good.
The owner of the vegan bakery, "Is like in our defense,
the hole is gluten free."
Well, this is wild. According to a new report,
an Indonesian flight veered off course
after both pilots fell asleep for nearly half an hour.
The last thing you want to hear is over the pilot’s intercom is
[snoring].
Even worse, the pilots woke up and go, "Sorry,
red wine makes us sleepy.
That’s the problem. We won’t do that again."
And finally, before we move on, I’d like to take a moment
to thank some of our sponsors for tonight’s show.
They don’t always fit in the commercial breaks,
and we want to make sure we mention all of them.
It’s time for "Tonight Show" Sponsors.
[ Cheers and applause ]
That's all for "Tonight Show" Sponsors.
We have a great show.
-Give it up for The Roots, everybody.
[ Questlove rapping ]
-♪ People stand tall, now sit yourself down ♪
[ Rapping ]
♪ Pace yourself, y’all, it’s going down ♪
-Welcome to the show, everybody.
Dude, I had a really fun weekend.
I did a surprise stand up.
I did ten minutes of stand up.
I surprised people in Syracuse, New York and Albany, New York.
I opened for Nate Bargatze,
who’s amazing, but Julian McCullough was there.
Julian McCullough, super funny. Mike James, Joe Zimmerman,
Steven Rogers.
Nate asked me to do this, like, three months ago,
and I just said, "All right, I’ll just go."
And so I just I flew to Syracuse and surprised the audience.
It was like 12,000 people or something.
And when -- that’s where you go to try material.
-Yeah, exactly. -Yeah. New stuff out there.
But it was super fun. These guys are the best.
And then Nate had these tour busses,
and we all got on the tour bus overnight,
like, in these little bunks
and just talking about comedy and stuff like that.
And then I woke up. I was in Albany,
and that’s where I went to college.
So I went to visit the College of Saint Rose.
I went to my old college. I went to my old apartment.
Ooh. And rang the doorbell, and two kids came down.
I go, "Hey, what’s up, man?" They’re like, "Can we help you?"
And I’m like, "No, I used to live here."
And they’re like, "Are you Jimmy Fallon?"
I go, "Yeah," they go, "What’s going on, dude?"
They thought they were getting punked or something.
I don’t know, took a picture with those guys.
Then I went to a crashed a frat party.
-Oh. -Yeah. Yeah.
I went in. I just saw on Hudson
there was some -- kids standing outside.
It was eggs and kegs.
Is that a thing? I don’t know what that is,
but I went in there and I walked in,
I was like, "Hey, guys, what’s up?"
And they’re like, "Are you --
Are you gonna come to our party?"
I go, "Yeah, I’ll come in.
I’ll just check in, check it out."
They were so nice. Very polite. Thank you,
whatever frat that was.
They were just fun, having a good time.
Then I went to this hotel for the second night,
before I went and did the gig,
and it was raining and I forgot to eat lunch,
and I had, like, a bag of potato chips from something,
and I was just eating chips by myself alone.
Just kind of sad. It was just kind of sad.
And going over my ten minutes over and over for hours.
You don’t understand how psycho that is, right?
It’s like, but I used to do it. Do you remember?
You did stand up? -That's how it goes.
Yeah, that’s what you do.
-It felt like I was back in the day.
-You went back in time. You took a trip back.
-It was really awesome. Then I went, I did stand up
for everyone at the MVP arena, and it was so fun.
And I’m going to do it again.
I want to go back. So I want to thank everyone.
Thank you, Nate. Thanks, everyone, so much.
