[ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: welcome. [ cheers and applause ] my name is jimmy. i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. thank you for -- i'll say this.
11:36 pm
you picked a really good night to be here. tonight we get a visit from the mayor of the great city of toronto, rob ford is with us. [ cheers and applause ] i feel like -- in a way i feel like i've been waiting for this night my whole life. [ laughter ] i have a lot to talk to mayor ford -- i don't think i've had this many questions since the series finale of "lost." [ laughter ] here's how it's going to work. i'm not sure exactly when but at some point during the show i'll yell "hey, kool-aid," and he'll come smashing through the wall. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] our other guest tonight is the great gonzo from the muppets. [ cheers and applause ] gonzo is here promoting his new movie "muppets most wanted." nobody knows what gonzo is. he's like the spam of muppets. [ laughter ] he's mysterious that way. but what a night.
11:37 pm
rob ford and gonzo. either this is really happening or someone sipped peyote into my preshow tea. guillermo, when mayor ford gets out here, you distract him. i'll take his passport, and that way he never leaves us. okay? >> deal. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: i will say the mayor might not want to go home. it's almost 60 degrees colder in toronto than it is here today. there's another arctic blast, arctic blasting the east coast. parts of washington, d.c. and new jersey got seven inches of snow today. they say this could turn out to be the best year ever to have left your christmas lights up. [ laughter ] this is from the local fox affiliate in philadelphia. they spent reporter steve keely to woodstown, new jersey this morning to talk about how the weather is affecting a local peach farm. and as a result of that steve is tonight's recipient of our award for excellence in reporting. ♪ >> we're in woodstown, only one
11:38 pm
filly born and raised in hillstown. that would be mildred hillcraft. known as hilly hillcraft. he only had one summer with the phillies. there goes a couple of plows demonstrating what i -- [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: he's perfectly preserved. don't worry. he mainly just happened on a sequel to "frozen." [ laughter ] it was "bachelor" tonight on abc. this is notable. the host of the bachelor chris harrison in a "new york times" magazine article that just came out, they asked him about the possibility of the show ever having a gay bachelor and chris said, look, if you've been making pizzas for 12 years, you've made millions of dollars and everyone loves your pizzas and someone comes and says hey, you should make hamburgers, why? i have a great business model. i don't know if hamburgers are going to sell. which is interesting because it makes you wonder, does chris harrison think we haven't had a gay bachelor? [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] i thought most of them were gay.
11:39 pm
the reporter asked if there will ever be a fat bachelor. and chris said no, because it's not attractive and television is a visual medium. i disagree with that top in fact, i say we should make the next bachelor the fattest gayest bachelor we can possibly find. [ cheers and applause ] tonight on "the bachelor" they had one of those women tell all specials, which don't women always tell all? [ laughter ] they did tell all, though. in fact, they brought out last year's bachelor, sean lowe, and his new wife katherine. you know, on the rare occasion that this show results in a successful relationship, they want us to know about it. so they brought sean and katherine back. they're the ones who abstained from having sex before marriage. i even made them take a lie detector test to prove it and now they passed. which is kind of creepy now that i think back on it. [ laughter ] anyway, chris asked the newlyweds how things went on the wedding night, and unfortunately for sean, katherine told all. >> how was the wedding night? >> the wedding night was very romantic. rose petals and, you know, he's
11:40 pm
my husband. we got to look at our rirngngs. >> fireworks. fireworks. >> yeah. quick fireworks. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: thanks, honey. you know, you try to be a good guy. you wait. bam. [ laughter ] last night the academy awards were held right across the street from us here in hollywood. [ cheers and applause ] they started cleaning up -- they really started cleaning up the minute the show ended and they've been working all day. the giant statues are gone. they rolled up the red carpet. the sweet scent of jennifer lawrence and lupita nyong'o has been replaced by the powerful odor of incontinent batmen. [ laughter ] our neighborhood is almost back to abnormal. but this telecast last night was more than 3 1/2 hours long. they actually had to do a second in memoriam montage because quite a few actors passed away during the broadcast last night. [ laughter ] the oscars wasn't the only

11:43 pm
[ cheers and applause ] i have no idea how he memorized that whole scene. but we thought it would be fun to ask him to do it again. we asked sruly to learn matthew mcconaughey's part in "will & grace" "the wolf of wall street." his mom and dad taught him it. and ladies and gentlemen, please give a warm welcome to sruli. [ applause ] go ahead, sruli. action. >> okay. number one rule of wall street. and i don't care if you're jimmy buffett or warren buffett. up, down, sideways or in circles. you know what it means? it's -- whoo.
11:44 pm
it never landed. it's not on the elemental chart, it's not real. stay with me. we don't -- so the announcer's at 16 he's not happy. he wants to cash it. take his money and run home. you don't let him do that because -- you don't let him do that because that would make it real. what do you do? you get another brilliant idea. a special idea. another situation. another stock to reinvest his earnings and then some. and he will -- and he will. every single time. because they're addicted. and he'll keep doing this again and again and again. meanwhile, he thinks he's getting rich. which he is. on paper. but you and me, the brokers, we're taking home cold hard cash on commission.

[ laughter ] are you peeing in the tub right now, sruli? >> yes. >> jimmy: all right. sruli, everybody. thank you very much. we need to take a break. we have a special presentation when we come back.
