  • -Thank you, thank you, thank you so much!

  • Welcome to "The Tonight Show," everybody.

  • We are here from Studio 6A in New York City!

  • [ Cheers and applause ]

  • Thank you so much for watching.

  • Thanks for being here. Let's get to the news and jokes.

  • Well, guys, it's been five days since the election was called,

  • and President Trump still has no plans to concede.

  • Pretty soon, we're going to need

  • Vladimir Putin to stage an intervention.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • [ Russian accent ] "Look, it actually isn't my birthday.

  • We -- We're worried about you."

  • [ Laughter ]

  • [ Normal voice ] Yeah, we could be working

  • on the pandemic or the economy,

  • but instead, we had to lure Trump out of the White House

  • like a cat burrowed under the couch.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • Ss, ss, ss, ss, ss, ss!

  • Trump's pretty much refusing to leave the house.

  • He's basically turning into the old man from "Up."

  • [ Laughter ]

  • "I should've put helium in these balloons.

  • Why -- Why did I choose water?"

  • [ Laughter ]

  • Well, yesterday, a reporter asked

  • President-elect Biden about Trump's refusal to concede

  • and what it means for the country,

  • and here's what he had to say.

  • -I just think it's an embarrassment, quite frankly.

  • -Trump heard that and was like,

  • "That's what you thought was embarrassing?"

  • [ Laughter ]

  • "A porn star sued me."

  • [ Laughter ]

  • "What about when I tossed paper towels like free throws

  • at the hurricane victims?

  • This is embarrassing? Okay. Okay."

  • That's right, Biden called Trump an embarrassment.

  • Then he left the podium and spent 20 minutes

  • trying to find the opening in the curtain.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • "You gotta be kidding me."

  • But it's been a pretty rough couple of weeks for Trump.

  • Has there been any good news for him?

  • -NBC News has projected President Trump

  • as the winner of the state of Alaska.

  • [ Laughter and applause ]

  • -When the news broke, Steve Kornacki was like,

  • "You woke me up for this?!"

  • [ Laughter ]

  • "It's three electoral votes!"

  • Trump needs like 63 electoral votes, and he got 3.

  • It's like asking your friend for 20 bucks,

  • and they're like, "I have a Canadian loonie."

  • [ Laughter ]

  • But Trump appreciated the victory.

  • Today, he said, "I want to thank Alaska

  • and their leader, Queen Elsa."

  • [ Laughter ]

  • Well, this is interesting. Most Republicans

  • haven't congratulated Biden on his win,

  • but they have been talking to his good friend,

  • Democratic Senator Chris Coons. Listen to this.

  • -What are they telling you behind the scenes?

  • -Um -- [ Chuckles ] -- bluntly, that they accept that --

  • I mean they call me to say, you know, "Congratulations.

  • Please convey my well wishes to the President-elect,

  • but I can't say that publicly yet."

  • [ Laughter ]

  • -Is this the third grade?

  • It's like, "Can you tell Emily

  • that I have a crush on her friend Ruby?"

  • [ Laughter ]

  • Meanwhile, assuming Trump does leave office,

  • the intelligence community is worried that he might reveal

  • some of the country's most classified secrets,

  • possibly in exchange for favors.

  • It's already not a great sign that the White House

  • Domino's guy is like, "I know some things."

  • [ Laughter ]

  • "I've seen some things."

  • Yeah, America's gone from thinking,

  • "How could he not read intelligence memos?"

  • to, "Thank God he didn't read intelligence memos."

  • [ Laughter ]

  • I wouldn't worry, though. You know the Pentagon

  • probably made stuff up just to see if he was listening.

  • It's like, "Sir, this is highly classified, but at night,

  • the Natural History Museum comes alive."

  • [ Laughter ]

  • "What?!" "Shh! Just don't tell."

  • Speaking of Trump's life after the presidency,

  • here's something that should make him feel a little better.

  • -President Trump could land a $100 million book deal

  • about his time in the White House.

  • "The New York Post" reports the President has been bombarded

  • with offers for book and TV deals.

  • The White House has not commented.

  • -$100 million.

  • When he heard that, Trump didn't just concede, he quit.

  • He's like, "I'm out. It's 100 mil."

  • Meanwhile, Melania was like,

  • "Just when I thought I was out, he pulls me back in."

  • [ Laughter ]

  • $100 million is a lot,

  • 'cause you know Trump's just gonna print out

  • all his tweets and staple them together.

  • "Done. Pay me. There you go.

  • There's my book." [ Laughter ]

  • In the meantime, I read the Trump administration,

  • though, wants to make the U.S. citizenship test

  • more difficult so it's harder to become a citizen.

  • They even had President Trump try it out,

  • but I think they might have made it a little too tough.

  • I mean, check out his answers.

  • For example, when asked, "To win an election,

  • you need the most blank," Trump wrote down, "Lawyers."

  • [ Laughter ]

  • Next, for the question, "Where was the Constitution signed?"

  • Trump wrote down "Four Seasons Total Landscaping."

  • [ Laughter and applause ]

  • What?

  • Not a good start.

  • Next up, for, "What is the U.S. motto,

  • which can be found on the dollar bill?"

  • Trump wrote, "Nobody out-pizzas the Hut."

  • [ Laughter ]

  • So close. [ Chuckles ]

  • Next up, for, "What did the Declaration of Independence do?"

  • Trump put "Separated Harry and Meghan from England."

  • I mean -- [ Laughter ]

  • Why would he keep taking the test if he's --

  • But, up next, "If the president

  • and vice president can no longer serve,

  • who becomes president?"

  • Trump put down "Colonel Sanders."

  • [ Laughter ]

  • Next up, it says, "What does the president's cabinet do?"

  • Trump said, "Hold the president's snacks."

  • I mean, at this point, he should stop taking the test.

  • Why would they even have him --

  • But he continued to answer more questions.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • For the question, "Who do we thank on Veterans Day?"

  • Trump somehow wrote, "Doctors who take care of animals."

  • That's not veterans. [ Laughter ]

  • And finally, Trump answered one more question

  • before they took away his pen,

  • for, "What is the supreme law of the land?"

  • He wrote, "Eat, tweet, repeat." There you go.

  • Actually he did better than I expected.

  • Some business news. I saw that Chipotle is opening

  • its first-ever digital-only restaurant,

  • where customers have to order ahead and pick up their food.

  • I'm just afraid, because of these changes,

  • eating Chipotle will no longer feel

  • like an authentic Mexican experience.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • When the cashier calls out, "Steak burrito for Greg!"

  • a lot of customers will be like, "Whoa! How did you know?"

  • [ Laughter ]

  • Here's some more tech news.

  • Uber is launching a new feature. Check this out.

  • -Uber is launching a new service to try to attract

  • more customers during the pandemic.

  • The new option is called Uber Reserve.

  • Customers can now reserve rides up to 30 days in advance,

  • and they can pick their favorite driver for the trip.

  • -Who has a favorite Uber driver?

  • [ Laughter ]

  • It's like having a favorite subway conductor.

  • Now Uber drivers are gonna be the ones thinking,

  • "I hope this guy doesn't murder me."

  • [ Laughter ]

  • Also, 30 days? Who's like, "Okay.

  • I'm gonna be drunk in Brooklyn on a street corner

  • 30 days from right now"? [ Laughter ]

  • And, finally, in Spain, a 19-year-old climber

  • made it to the top of a 660-foot crane

  • and then decided to hang out naked.

  • Here's the photo.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • Everyone on the street below was like, "That guy's nuts!"

  • [ Laughter and applause ]

  • [ Rim shot ]

  • When people told him no one wants to see his testicles,

  • he was like, "In Spain,

  • it's actually pronounced 'tethicles.'"

  • [ Laughter and applause ]

-Thank you, thank you, thank you so much!
