  • -Welcome, everybody, to "The Tonight Show."

  • Thank you so much for watching.

  • What a show we have for you tonight.

  • Oh, also, I'm going to debut my new Zoom camera.

  • I have a new Zoom camera. It doesn't quite work.

  • It's a little wide-angled and it's weird-looking.

  • But -- You got to -- You got to try.

  • You got to try new things

  • and see what works and what doesn't work and all that.

  • I hope everyone is staying safe out there.

  • I know it's tempting to just "enough's enough,"

  • but, yeah, you're doing the right thing.

  • Wear masks, wear gloves, stay home when you can,

  • social-distance, do everything you can.

  • Let's get rid of this thing.

  • What a show.

  • I'll just run through it real quick.

  • Martin Short, the funniest human of all time.

  • Love him so much.

  • He's just on fire. He's just the greatest.

  • I love him, love him, love him so much.

  • Also, speaking of funny, I met them as writers on "Late Night,"

  • and now they are just ruling the world right now

  • and hitting home runs,

  • comedy home runs, all over the place.

  • Bashir Salahuddin and Diallo Riddle,

  • the creators of "South Side" and also "Sherman's Showcase,"

  • which is having their Black History Month spectacular,

  • airing this Friday.

  • Man, they are so funny. It's unbelievable.

  • The special is great. Quest is in it. It's awesome.

  • And to close it out, honey,

  • do you know who the musical guest is tonight?

  • -No, I do not. -Well, well, well.

  • Who's one of my favorites of all time?

  • -Is that a trick question? -No, no. I'm sorry.

  • But -- Our -- Mutually, who is one of the first

  • few people that we listened to?

  • Well, no, no, it's endless, endless.

  • -Oh, I know. -Ready?

  • -Yes. I was going through who hadn't --

  • -I know -- there's a lot of people.

  • -Yes. -Randy Newman.

  • -Stop it. -Randy Newman is tonight.

  • -Oh, this is a big one. -I love Randy Newman.

  • -Oh, my gosh. -And he's my man.

  • -Yeah, I just -- I don't know. What a show.

  • Alright, let's get to some news here.

  • Here we go. Let's get right to it.

  • Today started off with some big news from the Supreme Court.

  • -We have breaking news from the Supreme Court.

  • It is a landmark decision for the LGBTQ community.

  • The justices ruling that it is illegal for workers

  • to be dismissed from a job based on

  • sexual orientation and gender identity.

  • -Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. It's 2020.

  • I thought good news was illegal.

  • Until this, the only good news to come out of 2020

  • was Baby Nut.

  • Yeah, it's not the outcome the Trump administration wanted.

  • Experts say it's the most damaging thing to happen

  • to Trump in the last...eight hours.

  • That was for watch, wearing a watch.

  • People used to wear timepieces.

  • Yep, the decision protects gay and transgender workers

  • from discrimination in the workplace.

  • Unfortunately, thanks to Trump's handling of the pandemic,

  • there is no workplace.

  • The court decided employers can't fire workers

  • based on their sexual orientation or gender identity.

  • They'll have to stick to the usual reason workers

  • get fired -- not muting themselves on Zoom.

  • The final vote was 6-3.

  • When he heard that, Trump said,

  • "Okay, what about the Electoral College?"

  • Yep, it's a tough day for the Trump administration.

  • We're just one more "Will & Grace" reboot away

  • from this being the worst day of Mike Pence's life.

  • The 6-3 opinion was written by

  • Trump-appointed justice Neil Gorsuch.

  • Trump plans on punishing Gorsuch

  • by violently shaking his hand again.

  • [ Applause ]

  • -What's he doing?

  • It's like he's trying to start a lawnmower.

  • That's like -- You know who would do those handshakes?

  • Kreskin would do that when he came on the show.

  • And I always thought that was part of the trick or something,

  • 'cause I'd go, "Nice to see you," and he'd go...

  • And he'd shake it really hard and you'd go,

  • "Is this part of the -- Did he just put something on my back

  • by distracting me?"

  • No, it's just the way he shook hands.

  • Hi, Kreskin.

  • Well, everyone is talking about this. Everybody.

  • Over the weekend, President Trump

  • gave a commencement speech at West Point,

  • but it looks like he had some trouble leaving.

  • Take a look.

  • -You see him walking very haltingly, one leg at a time.

  • It starts happening here. Down a ramp.

  • -Yeah, apparently, Trump was a little sensitive

  • about the incident, because he then tweeted,

  • "The ramp that I descended was very long and steep,

  • had no handrail, and, most importantly,

  • it was very slippery.

  • Final 10 feet, I ran down to level ground.

  • Momentum!"

  • Wow. Yep, that's about the only momentum Trump has right now.

  • 10 feet. The last 10 feet, he ran?

  • [ Laughing ] Oh, my gosh.

  • You know, there's so much to say about the ramp video,

  • and I just can't pick one joke, so I'm going to tell

  • as many jokes as I can in the time it took Trump

  • to walk down that ramp.

  • You ready? Let's go.

  • He was just doing an impression of his approval rating.

  • [ Ding ]

  • That was still faster than his response to the coronavirus.

  • [ Ding ]

  • He broke his first Fitbit record of 10 steps.

  • He looked like skier doing pizza instead of French fries.

  • [ Ding ]

  • That's his audition tape for "American Ninja Warrior."

  • It would be faster if he sat at the top

  • and did a butt scooch down.

  • [ Buzzer ] Oh! Alright. Alright.

  • I got some in there.

  • I had a couple more. Want me to just tell you?

  • -Mm-hmm.

  • -He still hasn't realized it's not an escalator.

  • [ Both laugh ]

  • That's right -- Trump said that the ramp

  • had no handrails and was very slippery.

  • He really came down hard on it,

  • and I don't know if he's going to let it go.

  • Check out this new attack ad he just released.

  • -There's a new threat in our country,

  • an enemy of the state like we've never seen before...

  • the ramp.

  • We already know the ramp is taking jobs

  • from hardworking American stairs,

  • but who is the ramp really?

  • A known member of Antifa?

  • A foreign agent?

  • Or a deep-state Liberal elite?

  • Can we stop the spread or is it already too late?

  • Paid for by Americans Against Ramps.

  • -Yeah, it's been a rough few months for Trump,

  • but at least his family is sticking by his side.

  • -President Trump's niece is coming out with

  • a tell-all book about her family and revealing

  • she has been a key anonymous source for reporters

  • looking into the president's finances.

  • -Yeah, okay, maybe not.

  • Another Trump tell-all book.

  • It's crazy that, after all these tell-all books,

  • there's still more to tell.

  • Trump's tell-all books are starting to feel like

  • a 3:00 a.m. infomercial.

  • "But wait! There's more!"

  • Okay, so, the Supreme Court ruled against him,

  • there's viral video about him,

  • and a family member has turned on him.

  • I'm sure there couldn't possibly be

  • any other bad news for Trump, right?

  • -The FDA announced that it is ending the emergency use of

  • hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine to treat coronavirus.

  • -Trump was like, "This is ridiculous.

  • I've been taking it every day

  • and I feel coconut, tricycle, waterfall."

  • Trump reminded the FDA that it only works -- [ Laughs ]

  • Trump reminded the FDA that it only works when you take it

  • with a full glass of bleach.

  • Yeah.

  • [ As Trump ] Who's the scientist now?

  • What?

-Welcome, everybody, to "The Tonight Show."
