MY WIFE IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER GETTING READY TO HAND ME SOME PROPS. MY DOG IS-- WHAT IS HE DOING? HE'S EATING-- WAT IS HE EATING? HE'S EATING SOMETHING. IS THAT PAPER TOWEL? ( BARKING ) WHAT IS HE EATING? HE ATE SOMETHING FROM THE BATHROOM. IT'S FINE. MY SON PETER IS OVER HERE. HE'S MY TECHNICAL CREW ONCE AGAIN TODAY. DO YOU WANT TO WAVE HI, PETE. OKAY, FEET TONIGHT. LAST NIGHT IT WAS HANDS. WE'LL EVENTUALLY GET THE WHOLE BODY. NOW, PHEW, YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED I AM STILL WEARING A SUIT JACKET AND A TIGHT. IT'S CONTROVERSIAL ON MY PART. BECAUSE YESTERDAY I ASKED YOU, MY VIEWERS, WHETHER I SHOULD CONTINUE DRESSING UP OR GO CASUAL USING THE HASHTAG #SuitOrNoSuit. THE RESULTS ARE IN. AND THEY ARE RESOUNDING. ON INSTAGRAM, THE VOTE WAS 69% IN FAVOR OF NO SUIT. 31% SUIT. AND ON TWITTER, IT WAS OVER 71% NO SUIT. THAT'S RIGHT, EVIDENTLY, 71% OF PEOPLE HAVE NEVER SEEN ME IN CASUAL WEAR. THAT INCLUDES MY WIFE. BUT I BELIEVE IN DEMOCRACY, SO TONIGHT, I DECIDED NOT TO WEAR A SUIT... FROM THE WAIST DOWN. YOU LIKE? YEAH! POW! OKAY. I'LL GIVE YOU A SECOND TO FAN YOURSELF. CALM DOWN. MY WIFE DIDN'T SEE ME DO THAT. NOW, WHILE WE'RE ALL STUCK IN ISOLATION, WE STILL WANT TO CELEBRATE THE HOLIDAYS. WE STILL WANT THAT HUMAN CONNECTION, BUT WE HAVE TO DO IT IN A NEW WAY: PASSOVER SEDERS ON ZOOM, EASTER EGG HUNTS IN THE BASEMENT, FOURTH OF JULY FIREWORKS IN THE BREAKFAST NOOK. BUT THERE'S ONE HOLIDAY I REALLY DON'T THINK WE REALLY NEED AT ALL RIGHT NOW, AND THAT'S TOMORROW'S HOLIDAY, APRIL FOOLS' DAY. THINGS ARE WEIRD ENOUGH WITHOUT PRANKS. I DON'T NEED THE KNUCKLEHEADS AT ARBY'S CLAIMING THEY INVENTED THE HAM HAT. ARBY'S: WE HAT THE MEATS. AT THIS POINT, THE ONLY APRIL FOOLS' JOKE I WANT IS SOMEONE T.P.-ING MY HOUSE, PREFERABLY IN TWO-PLY, QUILTED. I HAVE A VERY SENSITIVE BACK DOOR. BUT IT'S NOT JUST HOLIDAYS. EVERYTHING IS CHANGING, LIKE BUYING FOOD. THE SIMPLEST THING. IN THE OLDEN DAYS, YOU'D GO TO THE GROCERY STORE, BUY SOME STUFF, TAKE IT HOME, PUT IT IN YOUR FREEZER, IT'S DONE. NOW YOU'VE GOT TO TREAT EVERY CAN OF TUNA LIKE IT'S A MOON ROCK. I CAN ONLY TOUCH IT WITH GLOVES, AND NOT UNTIL IT'S BEEN THROUGH MY DECONTAMINATION AIRLOCK, FORMERLY KNOWN AS MY MUD ROOM. I'VE BEGUN TO LIKE THE TASTE OF DISINFECTANT ON MY VEGETABLES. MY FAVORITE DISH IS "BROCCOLI A LA CLOROX." MY LEGAL TEAM HAS INFORMED ME I HAVE TO INFORM YOU I AM JOKING, OBVIOUSLY. DO NOT PUT BLEACH ON YOUR BROCCOLI. THAT'S HOW YOU MAKE CAULIFLOWER. LET ME DEMONSTRATE THE SAFE WAY TO HANDLE YOUR GROCERIES. IT'S SIMPLE. LET'S JUST PRETEND I WENT SHOPPING FOR THIS CAN OF BEANS. PETE, BEANS. OKAY, GOT THESE BEANS. NOW MY HANDS ARE CONTAMINATED SO I HAVE TO ASSUMPTION CAN IS CONTAMINATED, SO I HAVE TO SPRAY THE CAN DOWN. THE CAN IS FINE. BUT THEN, AGAIN, MY HANDS-- MY HANDS WERE CONTAMINATED, SO I SPRAY THEM DOWN. AGAIN, BEFORE I SPRAYED MY HANDS, I HELD THEICA, AND NOW THE BOTTLE IS CONTAMINATED, SO NOW I JUST THROW EVERYTHING AWAY. BON APPETIT. THINGS ARE EXPECTED TO GET WORSE BEFORE THEY GET BETTER, BUT HERE'S A BIT OF GOOD NEWS-- IT LOOKS LIKE YOUR SACRIFICE IS BEGINNING TO PAY DIVIDENDS. NEW DATA SUGGESTS RESTRICTIONS ARE SLOWING CORONAVIRUS INFECTIONS. IT'S WORKING! JUST KEEP DOING IT, AMERICA. AND BY "IT," OF COURSE, I MEAN NOTHING. THE DATA COMES FROM SOME PEOPLE CALLED KINSA, THE MAKER OF AN INTERNET-CONNECTED THERMOMETER, WHO'VE BEEN TRACKING A MILLION THERMOMETERS TO MAP THE AREAS WHERE PEOPLE'S TEMPERATURES ARE SPIKING. LAST WEEK, AFTER SOCIAL- DISTANCING MEASURES REALLY STARTED TO TAKE HOLD, THE COMPANY'S LIVE MAP SHOWED FEVERS HOLDING STEADY OR DROPPING ALMOST UNIVERSALLY ACROSS THE COUNTRY. GREAT JOB. HIGH FIVE. NO, UH-UH. THAT WAS A TEST. NOW, DESPITE THE GOOD NEWS, THE NUMBER OF CORONAVIRUS CASES IS STILL GROWING, AND ONE OF THE BIG FEARS IS THAT HOSPITALS WILL NOT HAVE ALL THE EQUIPMENT THEY NEED TO SAVE LIVES. WELL, YESTERDAY, IT WAS ANNOUNCED THAT FORD IS GOING TO BUILD 50,000 VENTILATORS IN 100 DAYS AND G.M. IS ALSO RACING TO MAKE VENTILATORS. AND BECAUSE THEY'RE AMERICAN CARMAKERS, THESE VENTILATORS WILL COME WITH 16 CUP HOLDERS AND A PAIR OF TRUCK NUTS. NOW YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED IF YOU WATCH THE SHOW-- AND I HOPE YOU DO-- FOR THE PAST MONTH I HAVE NOT BEEN TALKING ABOUT DONALD TRUMP THAT MUCH, BECAUSE, WHILE HE'S COMM COMMANDER IN CHIEF, HE NOT THAT HELPFUL BUT HE IS THE PRESIDENT, AND HE'S HOLDING DAILY BRIEFINGS TO UPDATE US ON THIS NATIONAL EMERGENCY. SO, LET'S CHECK IN WITH HOW HE ADDRESSED THIS UNPRECEDENTED CRISIS. >> AND WE'VE OPENED UP-- OOPS, THERE GOES OUR BOX. AND MY HAIR'S BLOWING AROUND. AND IT'S MINE. THE ONE THING YOU CAN'T GET AWAY WITH. IF IT'S NOT YOURS, YOU'VE GOT A PROBLEM. ( WHISTLING ) AAAH! IS HE DONE? DID I MISS ANYTHING? NO? OKAY. WITH CASE NUMBERS RISING, THE WHITE HOUSE HAS A NEW STATISTICAL MODEL PROJECTING THE COURSE OF THE DISEASE. SO LET'S HEAR THE LATEST DATA FROM THE COMMA COMMANDER IN CHIE HANDPICKED EXPERTS. >> A FRIEND OF MINE, MIKE LINDELL OF MYPILLOW. BOY, DO YOU SELL THOSE PILLOWS. IT'S UNBELIEVABLE WHAT YOU DO. MIKE, COME ON UP. >> GOD GAVE US GRACE ON NOVEMBER 8, 2016, TO CHANGE THE COURSE WE WERE ON. ( WHISTLING ) >> Stephen: IS HE DONE? OKAY, GOOD. IT'S NO SURPRISE TRUMP WOULD INTRODUCE THE MYPILLOW GUY AT A PRESIDENTIAL BRIEFING. IT'S A TRADITION GOING BACK TO HARRY TRUMAN ANNOUNCING VICTORY IN THE PACIFIC WITH CHEF BOYARDEE NOW, IT'S IMPORTANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT MYPILLOW IS DEDICATING 75% OF ITS PRODUCTION TO MAKING FACE MASKS FOR HEALTH CARE WORKERS. THANK YOU, MIKE. THAT IS A VERY GOOD THING. AND I JUST WANT TO DISPEL ANY RUMORS THAT THOSE FACE MASKS ARE GOING TO LOOK LIKE THIS: THE CORONAVIRUS HAS CHANGED LIFE AS WE KNOW IT, BUT IT HASN'T KEPT US FROM ENJOYING OUR NATIONAL PASTIME, AND THAT'S WATCHING MOVIES. WITH ALL THIS TIME ON OUR HANDS, PEOPLE HAVE STARTED REALLY PICKING APART SOME OF THEIR FAVORITE MOVIES AND NOTICING DETAILS THAT, FOR SOME REASON, THEY HAD NEVER HAD BEFORE. FOR INSTANCE, SOMEONE ON TWITTER JUST DISCOVERED THAT IN "LITTLE WOMEN," WHICH TAKES PLACE DURING THE 19th CENTURY, THERE'S A SCENE WITH BOTH A WATER BOTTLE AND A HYDROFLASK. THAT IS CRAZY. YOU DON'T NEED TWO SEPARATE CONTAINERS TO HIDE YOUR VODKA. COME ON, TIMOTHEE. AHHH! OF COURSE, WITH SOCIAL DISTANCING, IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE WE CATCH ALL OF THE MOVIE ERRORS, LIKE THIS SCENE IN THE SOUND OF MUSIC," WHERE JULIE ANDREWS IS CLEARLY HOLDING TWO BIG MACS. OR THE PART IN "TITANIC" WHERE JACK AND ROSE FLY ON THE PROW OF A CHEVY SILVERADO. YOU KNOW, I USED TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME RIGHT OVER THERE-- IN THE OUTSIDE-- MINGLING FREELY AND RUBBING UP AGAINST THE
