(cheers and applause) but first, these days feels like you can't turn on the tv without see ago zombie, a kardashian or a fantasy football ad. >> the daily fact is i baseball >> the best adrenally rush ever. since august 1, draft's spent $81 million on ads that aired more than $22,000 times. >> trevor: almost as many times as i've seen the titanic in theaters and i still say there was room for jack on that board! (laughter) now, when somebody hear fantasy football, they think quidditch or lebron james playing unicorn polo, but fantasy football is when you manage a fake team made up of real

players and if they do good in real games your fantasy team is awarded real points. used to you threw 20 bucks into a pool and have something to talk about with your friends long after you had nothing to talk about with your friends. but for commitment-phobes, there's a new option. >> one-day fantasy football league, the hottest thing in faintly baseball, no season-long commitment. >> yeah, fantasy! because traditional fantasy sports you have to wait months to see how it turns out. in daily fantasy, it's one day, like "breaking bad" was condensed into a 30-second episode. i'm sick. i have to sell meth. i'm good at selling meth! science, bitch! and i'm dead. oh, yeah, spoiler alert. sorry, forgot about that. i did just save you 60 hours of some of the best television you

(laughter) a lot of people are asking how are they legal. >> online sports gambling and sports bet are prohibited but they are under fantasy sports. >> trevor: right, they weren't

accounting for daily fantasy sports. the same way when the founding fathers didn't account for this. >> the question is still legitimate. it's fantasy sports actually just online gambling? talk to an expert. >> came out here. go to depauw university, study economics. i play probably 450 and 500 different games a day. my bank roll is in the hundreds of thousands. i've made hundreds of thousands of dollars doing this over the past almost two years now. >> is what you do gambling? no, it's not gambling at all. i mean, i consider it more of investing. (laughter) >> trevor: no, it's not gambling at all. just like you weren't gambling on that shirt. you were investing in not getting laid. ka-ching! (cheers and applause) hold on a second there, buddy.

as much as i respect you and your nic nick nolte mug shot sh, name one way fantasy sports is like wall street. >> inside trading by fantasy sports web sites. an imply employee of draft kings allegedly used inside information to win $350,000 on a rival site. >> trevor: that might be akin to insider trading. insiding trading! yeah, that's similar to wall street but i'm not convinced. >> users using sophisticated algorithms to gain advantage in competitive play. >> certain computer algorithms are set up which allow say a player who is out but the majority of public don't know it but i do, maybe on 30 different fantasy lines that have the player get pulled, so i have the advantage to win. >> trevor: fine, insider trading and high frequency

trading algorithms, those are two. but this is three strikes. if you can talk about trading in the same way i might be persuade. >> n.f.l. fantasy live -- looking to buy low or sell high? >> antonio gates, first guy to come to mind, selling high. >> buying low, sell high. fantasy stock market. and your fantasy football, a hot commodity. >> we provide big fantasy dividends. >> your portfolio is in the dogs. tell tell tell. >> trevor: an unregulated marketplace that seems to be screwing everyday americans out of their hard-earned money -- >> dude, dude, dude! draft? no!

trap? no! dude? no! dude! don't you touch my fantasy, no! dude! >> trevor: what are you doing? what you doing? trying to regulate my joy, steal my goalies? >> trevor: jordan, i was just -- >> jordan: you was trying to say fantasy sports are like wall street. you will have to pry my league y league from my cold dead hands. >> trevor: the similarities are there. >> why kill something beautiful? pout fantasy, what's the point of football? if i had no money at stake i would just be watching grown men give themselves brain damage. >> trevor: you don't mind the whole thing seems rigged? >> part of the challenge. if i can win with built-in disadvantages, that's an accomplishment. if i lose, it's rigged. >> trevor: these ads make it seem like everyone stands the same chance of winning. >> i get it. the problem is not fantasy sports. it's the edge. maybe you would feel more

comfortable with something more honest. >> trevor: if you love playing fantasy sports, hanging with bros and making cash, get on draft. >> i made 3 grand. thanks draft tool. >> the only thing i love more than computers is fantasy sports. we're having algorithms similar to finance firms, i won a million, easy. >> i i'm just a regular dude and knowing i probablyo won't win makes it even more exciting. >> forget the market. too complicated. act now and lose an extra $2,500 with this coupon king. fan kings draft duel. doesn't matter how you win or lose it's if you get played by our game. >> trevor: i don't think that's enough. >> i knew you would be self righteous. you just won me 50, but man! >> trevor: jordan klepper, everyone! there's only one way to get a gold ps4...

popular man brought to his knees. >> peoria mayor at the center of a controversy. >> the controversy surrounding the mayor -- >> mayor under fire. what exactly was it that brought the mayor to his knees? >> a twitter account. ? mm-hmm. like the thing i tweet all my stupid thoughts on every day? >> that's exactly it. somebody created a parity twitter account of the mayor. >> john daniel created twitter account at peoria mayor and tweeted. >> one of his tweets said i'm thinking it's a tequila and stripper night. >> the tweet depicted the mayor as a boozer, philanderer, a drug abuser. the mayor took it very hard and felt his reputation had been besmirched. >> what kind of monster attacks a public figure with humor? i tracked down online predator john daniel.

the evidence of his operation was everywhere. you tweet ton this? >> i have. bet. i forced him to confront his depraved tweets. eating asian (bleep), all i need is sweet and sour sauce. >> yeah. that you? 's me. good morning hashtag peoria, where's the ho's at? what's behind that? >> thought the mayor might want to know. >> how's the -- how's people not supposed to know the mayor's not tweeting? >> it was labeled parity. but john daniel knew he was preying on the most

vulnerable among us. that dude is 56 years old. he's so old he probably can't even read the internet. you prey on the hopeless. >> well, i didn't believe that he was ever even going to see it. the account only had 50 followers. >> so even though basically nobody but john daniel's friends had seen the tweets, artists did what any reasonable public servant would do. >> the mayor sent cops to my house. they seized all of my electronics. they tossed my room, took me downtown, put me in the interrogation room, took about two hours before i even knew what it was about. i felt like i might have been in some deep bheep. >> what about the mayor? he had no way to defend himself except the courts, search warrants and police. that's all he had. >> he's the one who raided my house, what about me? >> please weren't able to charge daniel because he technically had broken no law, which only

left the mayor one option, to call a press conference and broadcast his humiliation to the world. >> many people asked me if the content was in fact harmless parody, why did the harmless content never find their way into print or broadcast media? let's see if it does now. here are a couple of excerpts from the site. >> we must warn you, this isn't easy to watch. >> i'm up all night, woke up with (bleep) on my breath and bloodshot eyes. we've got people talking about live tweeting. going to be up at a local bar wolfing down wings. come check me out, i will be signing titties. >> how does this make you feel? fun. i can't believe he's doing this. >> two things to get off my chest. if you don't like peoria and you want to sit here and bitch, leave. two, who stole my crack pipe? >> daniel had no remorse and he

wasn't done. with the help of the a a.c.l.u., he sued the city for violation of rights and won. what did you get? >> $125,000. you got $125,000 for creating a parody twitter account? >> yes. is that true? super true. including legal fees the this ordeal cost the city a quarter of a million dollars all paid for by peoria taxpayers who for some reason blame the mayor. >> our resources were squandered and reputation sull idea. you overstepped your bounds. >> you say you have tough skin. grow up. >> how can the next public official avoid this? >> i suppose you could just ignore it. >> just ignore it? yeah, just ignore it. like just not log in and look

at it? >> just pretend like it isn't even there. >> but it is there. so, kids, hide your parents. they could be next. >> trevor: jessica williams, everyone!

(cheers and applause) >> trevor: welcome back. my guest tonight is an actor whose new movie is called "goosebumps." ♪ >> i'm sorry.

>> trevor: please welcome jack black. (cheers and applause) >> sorry, i stepped on your toes. you feel that? (cheers and applause) >> trevor: nobody has ever moon walked out of there before. >> i've never moon walked on to the stage before. felt so special. >> trevor: and you stepped on my toe when you hugged me. that was nice. >> it was accidental but felt fresh. >> trevor: it was definitely you. >> everything so far is new. >> trevor: i can safely say as a child i never thought jack black would step on my toe in a hug. i think i've ticked something off my bucket list.

>> i have the to say it's not the first toe i've stepped on. sometimes i step on a few toes (laughter) >> trevor: i feel like i want to sing with you. i don't know why. because of your music. because of tenacious d. every time i see your face -- >> oh, thank you (applause) the people are applauding but they don't really know my band. (laughter) >> trevor: every single time i see your face, i burst into song. i just sing. >> i'm pretty sure that's one of the best compliments i've received. >> trevor: you need to get better compliments. >> no, that's a good one, though. (laughter) i elicit music when you see me. >> trevor: do you walk around singing random songs? >> i am a very musical dude. i do like to sing. (laughter) >> trevor: was that english? here were some extra ss, i think. >> trevor: there were. i like to ss-ss-sing.

>> trevor: i watched "goosebumps." it's a movie to be proud of. >> you have to say that. >> trevor: i don't have to say that. i can skirt around the issue. >> i can sense when you're genuine. >> trevor: what happens is they say, here's a movie, jack black is coming on and you have to watch a movie. and i watch it and the whole time i'm thinking, (bleep), and it was a really good movie. it's based on r.l. stine's books, right? >> right. >> trevor: so "goosebumps" was a tv series, also very creepy for kids. well, it's for kids and their parents and anyone who loves "goosebumps," but you're right, it's pretty scary. but, you know, it depends on the kid. like my kid, i got a 7-year-old and 9-year-old and they are obsessed with monsters. so, you know, if you have a dope, like, brave kid, you

should bring him. if you have a kid that's like, oh, oh, i'm scared! then you shouldn't bring him. (cheers and applause) (laughter) >> trevor: people's children, mmm... your kid... >> listen, i'm a huge scaredy cat but i enjoyed it. >> trevor: where did you draw inspirations for the character? it was a strange accent. was that wells? >> yeah, it was orson wells. the thing is, it's at automaticy funny. >> trevor: people don't believe anything you say. >> also comedy and terror, and i play the author, r.l. stine, and as you said, he's a brilliant master of macabre. i can't just be stoney jack black, i have to bring a little

graf tass. i thought, who would be perfect is orson wells. that's the voice i hear and i pretend to be who i think would be really good in the movie. that's my style. >> trevor: that is absolutely genius. this is one thing i've never had the chance to ask anybody, because all the monsters in the film, i don't want to spoil the plot, it's crazy and it looks real, but they're not there when this is happening. >> right. >> trevor: do you ever feel stupid when you're doing it? (laughter) >> you know, i would if i wasn't doing this for a living all the time. but it's always, you know, that's the gig is pretending that things are real that aren't. but, you know, it's kind of like child-like and i'm comfortable acting like a child. that's what i'm saying. >> trevor: that's what you're saying, jack black. >> but it would be funny to see a cut of the film without any special effects. >> trevor: i feel you could

make those. it would be a cool movie. >> the werewolf -- >> trevor: the werewolf was the part i like. this is not for kid kids. i've seen werewolves, and the twilight werewolf is not as scary as this. >> h he's scary when he's barking like a dog. >> trevor: he's like, whoa, whoa, whoa! >> he has the sharp tall ups and teats and runs fast and is muscular, but the scariest thing about him is when he's like, (barking) bark! (barking) bark! >> trevor: did you do all the voices? >> i did the voices of all the monsters. >> trevor: you did a great job. an amazing movie. "goosebumps" will open on friday. jack black, everybody!
