-Thank you very much and welcome to
-
"The Tonight Show," everybody.
-
[ Cheers and applause ]
-
Well, guys, today is February 2nd,
-
which, of course, means it is Groundhog Day.
-
Yep, first thing this morning, Punxsutawney Phil
-
made his annual prediction on when winter will end.
-
Here it is.
-
-Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye!
-
There's a perfect shadow cast of me.
-
Six more weeks of winter there will be.
-
[ Cheers and applause ]
-
-Yeah.
-
And then he said, "Mask upon my face is not seen,
-
so two more weeks of quarantine."
-
I'm just glad we are still holding up wild rodents.
-
Clearly, we've learned a lot about
-
public health from the pandemic.
-
But it seems Punxsutawney Phil has been spending lockdown
-
like the rest of us, because he came out in stretchy pants,
-
eating a tube of cookie dough.
-
I thought that was...
-
I'm all for this non-political news,
-
but this whole thing is getting a little silly, isn't it?
-
I mean, top hats and scrolls and wall-to-wall coverage?
-
It's a groundhog.
-
It's not a royal wedding.
-
I mean, Biden's inauguration didn't get this much attention.
-
Hear ye, hear ye!
-
Everyone's talking about six more weeks of winter,
-
but there was a strange moment
-
when they first greeted Punxsutawney Phil.
-
Now, this is real. See if you think this is odd.
-
I don't know. Listen to this.
-
-Oh!
-
[ Laughter ]
-
-Ahh!
-
Yeah, I think I have a prediction.
-
A restraining order is about to filed by a groundhog.
-
That guy cracked on Day 3 of the pandemic
-
and hasn't cracked back.
-
"You look beautiful today.
-
You're the special one. You're my special one.
-
You would never block me on Instagram, would you?"
-
Well, guys, it must be Groundhog Day,
-
because we're living through Trump's impeachment again.
-
That's right.
-
Today, House Democrats filed a brief that says
-
Trump's singularly responsible for the Capitol riots.
-
When the news broke, Trump was furious,
-
while Rudy was heartbroken.
-
"Singularly responsible?
-
What am I? Chopped cigars?"
-
After that, Trump's legal team filed their own brief
-
that claims that he isn't responsible.
-
It wasn't that hard to write.
-
His lawyers just copied and pasted his defense
-
from the last impeachment.
-
"Control-F 'Ukraine,' replace with 'riot.'
-
And send."
-
But get this -- there was actually a typo
-
on the first page of the Trump brief.
-
But I'm sure it was a long, complicated legal term.
-
Nope.
-
It's just the name of our country.
-
That's it. No big deal.
-
Yeah, Trump was like, "Totally unfair.
-
The Microsoft paperclip is Antifa."
-
Well, here's some good news.
-
Today, the Biden administration made a big announcement
-
regarding vaccine distribution.
-
Listen to this.
-
-Starting on February 11th, the federal government
-
will deliver vaccines directly to select pharmacies
-
across the country.
-
-Hmm. After Trump, Biden looks like a genius
-
for just being like, "I got an idea.
-
How about all the places that give flu shots --
-
they should give vaccine shots."
-
Oh, thanks, professor! Wow! Amazing!
-
Yeah, it sounds like a smart idea.
-
Although, CVS already shelved the vaccine
-
to make room for its Halloween decorations.
-
Some big business news today.
-
Jeff Bezos announced that he is stepping down
-
as C.E.O. of Amazon.
-
Right now, his assistant is shipping his office stuff home
-
in 47 different boxes.
-
Yeah, Bezos knew it was time to go when an Amazon drone
-
showed up at his door and said, "I'm your boss now."
-
Some more business news.
-
I saw that after Subway was sued for allegedly using fake tuna,
-
they decided to respond in an interesting way.
-
Listen to this.
-
-Subway is offering a 15% discount
-
on any tuna foot-long in the app or online
-
with promo code "ITSREAL."
-
[ Laughter ]
-
-Unfortunately, the promo code they meant to use was "ITSSEAL."
-
[ Cymbal crash ] I think that is awful.
-
I think that...
-
Yeah, this promo thing is not working.
-
And they also have a discount on turkey subs
-
with the code "DIDNT-DROP-THIS."
-
I mean, why?
-
Why bring it up? Why...
-
Some entertainment news.
-
I read that Netflix is already making a movie about
-
the drama surrounding GameStop's stock.
-
Meanwhile, when the news broke, Hulu panicked and green-lit
-
a movie about the tuna at Subway.
-
Well, guys, there was a new episode of
-
"Below Deck" last night, and things are really heating up.
-
The emotions on that show can be a little hard to handle.
-
So to help, here's a scene from "Below Deck"
-
revoiced with the least-emotional person we know,
-
Siri.
-
It's time our latest installment of "Let's Get Siri-ous."
-
♪♪ [ Cheers and applause ]
-
-Is it a "yes" or "no" you slept in the guest cabin?
-
-We were in the cabin.
-
-Did you sleep in the cabin?
-
-I wouldn't say it was like...
-
-"Yes" or "no"?
-
-Yes, I was sitting on the bed.
-
-Take accountability for what you did.
-
-I will ask you next time. I'm sorry.
-
-There is not going to be a next time.
-
I do want to keep things professional.
-
You're not being professional.
-
I've had enough of you.
-
-Wow. Unbelievable. That drama -- wow.
-
-Yeah.
-
-Well, some sports news.
-
The Super Bowl is just a few days away,
-
and during an interview yesterday,
-
Tom Brady was asked about his plans for the future.
-
Listen to what he said.
-
-Would you consider playing beyond 45,
-
especially with the way you're playing right now?
-
-Yeah, definitely.
-
I would definitely consider that.
-
-Yeah, you can tell the team wants him to keep playing.
-
Today, Brady's coach woke him up by whispering,
-
"You look beautiful today."
-
[ Laughter ]
-
And, finally, I read about four travelers at an airport
-
in China who ate 66 pounds of oranges
-
to avoid paying a $46 luggage fee.
-
On the bright side,
-
with a little turbulence and a lot of vodka,
-
they were able to make the most amazing screwdrivers.
-
Hey, guys, the Super Bowl is coming up,
-
and so this is big news here at the show.
-
This year, I challenged Tariq to a contest --
-
who can make the best dip?
-
So, this Thursday will be the first annual --
-
Do we have to put the word "annual" in there?
-
The first annual "Tonight Show" Dip-Off.
-
-Well, you can say "annual," but you're not --
-
Like, once you lose, it's not like you want to come back
-
next year and do it again.
-
-Ooh!
-
-Come on, man. I don't lose a dip-off, man.
-
-Okay. -I don't lose a dip-off.
-
So, here's the rules.
-
For -- there's people online freaking out.
-
They go, "I understand you're doing this,
-
but what are the rules, Jimmy?
-
Tell me what's up."
-
-What's the rules? -"Give it to me straight."
-
You got 30 minutes to make it.
-
-What? -Oh, okay.
-
-Yeah. And it must include cheese of some kind, okay?
-
-Okay.
-
-And then we need a judge, and the judge is Questlove.
-
-I got this in the bag. Like, come on.
-
You think my boy -- you think he's gonna pick you?
-
Come on.
-
-Here's the -- Here is the deal.
-
Here's the deal. It's a blind test.
-
-Oh! -So he doesn't know.
-
We can -- You could do whatever.
-
So you think you have it in the bag.
-
By the way, I think your dip probably comes out of a bag.
-
-Oh, wow! -Know what I'm saying, dude?
-
-Okay. Cool. Yeah. -Want to have a dip-off, man?
-
-Yeah, I do.
-
I do. Okay. Cool, bro. -You know what I'm saying?
-
-Yep. We gonna see.
-
Well, I guess we won't see, because it's blind.
-
-Yeah. So, this Thursday,
-
Quest will -- He won't be blindfolded while eating,
-
so we can -- But he --
-
-He won't know whose dip is whose.
-
-He won't know whose dip -- He'll be dipping in some dip.
-
-It comes down to the taste. He'll know.
-
He'll know. He'll know what's up.
-
-No, he'll know -- He'll definitely know what's up.
-
-Wait. Why y'all talking about me in third person.
-
-Well, no.
-
Pretend that you're blindfolded now.
-
-Yeah.
-
-Who do you think -- Who --
-
I'm telling you, he --
-
I mean, I've known him for 12 years, man.
-
-Yeah, that's nothing. -Quality. Quality.
-
-That's nothing. That's nothing.
-
-No. I'm talking about Q.T., man.
-
-Oh, quality time. Okay. Cool.
-
Well, alright.
-
-I mean, you've known each other how long?
-
-33 years. -Yeah.
-
So half the time, and I still think I got it --
-
-You think 12 times 2 is 33? [ Cymbal crash ]
-
I've got this. I've got this in the bag.
-
-Yo, you didn't even have to do the math like...
-
-I'm not a gen-- Look, I'm just saying.
-
I'm talking about quality time out of those 33 years.
-
-Yeah. It's all --
-
-Yeah, you guys are Larry Birding it, man,
-
but I'm, like, you know...
-
-Yeah. -I'm...
-
-Kurt Rambis? -Who's...
-
Is he number 12? Like, I don't know.
-
I don't know who's number -- Tom Brady.
-
-Tom Brady. -Okay.
-
-Yeah, there you go.
-
-Well, when I dip, you dip, we will.
-
-We'll find out Thursday who wins the dip-off.
-
Yeah. And the winner also gets a bowl.
-
A -- I'm not going to say a crystal bowl,
-
but maybe a cubic zirconia.
-
As long as you know in your heart that it's -- that you won,
-
you don't need to have the actual crystal.
-
-Yeah, I feel like everybody wins, right?
-
-Well, no.
-
Sadly, the rules state that there is
-
one clear winner in this.
-
And whoever wins gets a dip bowl.
-
-I hear that, man. Well, sorry. -Yeah.
-
-Make room for Dipset, 'cause here we come.
-
-Did you ever hear that story?
-
I think it was Deion Sanders said that
-
he doesn't wear diamond earrings.
-
-Oh, yeah, he wears all, yeah, fake jewelry.
-
-Yeah. Cubic zirconia.
-
He goes, "Because I know I can afford it,
-
but I just don't want to lose it."
-
-Yeah, true.
-
-So that's kind of the same with our dip bowl.
-
-Yeah, so you're making a fake dip.
-
I get it. -No, no, no, no.
