in f lot ocadians were is not embarrby this. some of them even tried to m it. one started campaign to raise money for kevin durant's charity to apologize. [ laughter ] another fan sent flowers to the warriors offices to apologize. [ laughter ] "on behalf of canada." which is nice. but the only thing worse than cheering an opponent getting hurt is sending him this hideous flower arrangement to make up for it. [ laughter ] it says, "canada is sorry." [ laughter ] they should probably send flowers to apologize for those flowers, but no one -- no raptors fan took durant's injury harder than drake, who was visibly upset. he posted a heartfelt message on instagram, and look at him here leaving the arena. very down. there's no middle ground for drake. he only has two gears. he's either "spongebob" on speed or "droopy dog." [ laughter ]

but you know who could cheer drake up? i'll tell you who. this guy right there. he's not droopy at all. you know what's funny? in the old days, when we used to have snoop on, we'd get all nervous he'd be smoking weed in our green room. now, it's -- here in california, it's legal to smoke in church now, so -- [ laughter ] everything clear back there, guillermo? >> yeah, everything good. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: snoop has infiltrated our security team as well. [ laughter ] you know, nba players express themselves in so many ways on and off the court. some wear flashy clothes, others get tattoos and a lot of players get crazy haircuts. there have been hundreds of notable player hairstyles over the years. and tonight, we combed through decades of them to bring you the all-time most egregious dos that should have been don'ts. and here they are, the six worst haircuts in nba history. [ cheers and applause ] at number six, pelicans free agent elfrid payton.

[ laughter ] got several haircuts and instructed them to fight each other to the death. [ laughter ] that lands elfrid at number six on our list. at number five, former cleveland cavalier anderson varejao. somebody tried a home perm. that is -- he looks like antonio banderas' mother. [ laughter ] coming in at number four, serbian power forward vladimir radmanovic. [ laughter ] a.k.a., the 14-year-old white girl who goes to jamaica on spring break. [ laughter ] and gets braids. this is why vladimir is known as the serbian coolio. [ laughter ] at number three on our list, none other than andre miller. [ laughter ] i call this the "wait, there's a game today" look. it's like a toddler showing his mother what he did with the scissors. [ laughter ] in the number two position, former clipper center chris kaman.

no one who played for the clippers has ever been more in need of a clipper. [ laughter ] his favorite food is paint. [ laughter ] and, finally, the award for worst haircut goes to -- former laker center andrew bynum. andrew's -- sadly, andrew's barber died halfway through the braids -- [ laughter ] -- and was unable to complete the job. but congratulations, andrew. those are the six worst nba haircuts. [ cheers and applause ] of all time. all right. we're going to take a break. we have a lot on the show tonight. we have snoop dogg, who is here. we have a new -- [ cheers and applause ] a new special canada-themed "lie witness news." and when we come back, a visit from a ghost. so stick around. we'll be right back.

[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: oh, hi there. welcome back to the show. we are in prime-time for game six of the nba finals. snoop dogg and "lie witness news" are on the way. but first, tonight is an historic night for nba fans in oakland, because it's the last time the warriors will play there. it's the final game at oracle arena. the team's moving to san francisco and the arena will be turned into a vape shop, so -- [ laughter ] next season the warriors will move to chase center, which is close to downtown. after years of begging, the fans are finally going to get what they've been asking for, which is no available parking. one possible drawback to this move out of oakland though, something that i'm not sure has been considered, is the warriors will lose a big home court advantage, which is, a haunted hotel. for real, there's a hotel in berkeley, the clairmont hotel, where other the years, opposing teams stay at when they play in oakland.

and the hotel is said to be haunted. in fact, in 2014, some players for the san antonio spurs got spooked. tim duncan, who's a very level-headed guy, said he got the chills and he would rather not ever stay there again. other players heard noises, they heard children running down the halls when there are no children there. weird stuff. and obviously if you're a player you try and stay focused, you don't want to be thinking about supernatural beings in your room. but i'm fascinated by this kind of thing. and i wanted to know more. and this is exciting, because we are joined tonight live via interdimensional satellite by the ghost who haunts the clairmont hotel. [ laughter ] the head ghost at the hotel. which -- ♪ oh, there you go? >> yeah, i can hear you, i'm dead, not deaf. who the hell is this?

us. i hope we didn't interrupt any business going on there. >> oh, nothing big. i was just scaring the crap out of a couple who didn't tip the housekeeping staff.

[ laughter ] ♪ baby shark do do do do ♪ baby shark do do do do >> jimmy: that actually sounds terrifying. >> it was hilarious. those two, they [ bleep ] their pants. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: you know, that's kind of what i want to ask you about. because i understand you help the golden state warriors by haunting the visiting players. what kind of stuff do you do to them? >> you know, just your standard ghost moves. you know, spooky sounds. sneaking up behind them in the bathroom mirror. one time, i charged rajon rondo $53 for a denver omelette. oh, when he got that bill, i never seen anyone look more terrified in his life. >> jimmy: that is pretty scary, yeah. >> i was laughing my ass off. he soaked right through his sweat band that night.

>> jimmy: oh, rajon rondo sleeps in his sweat band? >> yeah. and no underpants, too. >> jimmy: oh, my goodness. >> you see all kind of weird stuff when you haunt basketball teams. did you know lebron james sleeps with a stuffed bunny he calls penelope? >> jimmy: i did not know that, no. >> yep. penelope was the only thing that made him stop crying after some girl named steph broke his heart last year. >> jimmy: oh, no, no. i think he was crying about steph curry last year. >> well, whoever she is, she really did a number on him. [ laughter ] i mean, that pillow was soaked. we used it to clean the lobby. >> jimmy: oh, all right. tina, can i ask why you're haunting the hotel in the first place? why are you there? >> because i'm dead, what the hell else am i going to do? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: well, how did you die? >> i choked on a damn toothpick in a club sandwich in room 422. >> jimmy: oh. >> you know one of those little frilly ones, with the frills on top. >> jimmy: oh, yeah.

i'm sorry to hear that. i really am. >> it's okay, i'm having fun [ bleep ] people up. >> jimmy: okay, okay. well, that's good. that's a positive, i guess. >> shoot, i -- i got to go. kawhi leonard is about to brush his teeth. i'm going to turn his corn rows into snakes. >> jimmy: okay, i'll let you get back to that. thank you, tina. thank you very much.

and, of course, that did not happen, that's preposterous, but did that stop people from waking in on it? let's find out in tonight's canada edition of "lie witness news." ♪ [ cheers and applause ] >> how did you react to the news when you heard canada's becoming a 51st state? >> surprised, honestly. i was a little surprised by it. i didn't know they wanted to be part of it, but if they want to become part of the united states, if they're willing to help us out, we can help them. i don't see what the problem is. >> what was your reaction to first hearing that canada is becoming the 51st state? >> i was actually shocked. i mean, from all the countries they could choose from, they went with canada? that was kind of surprising to me. >> what does canada have to benefit now that they're going to be a 51st state? >> uh, our freedoms.

saying. [ cheers and applause ] things you might not be able to get up in toronto. >> exactly. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: although -- maybe you can, i guess. yeah. okay, interesting. well, you know -- would you ever consider a position with the lakers? like, let's say -- magic left. if they just said, "snoop, why don't you be president of basketball operations?" would you snap that up? >> i'd take it on. >> jimmy: you would? [ cheers and applause ] when it came to, like, to trading players, cutting players -- do you think you would have the heart to do that sort of thing? >> it's a business. >> jimmy: yeah. >> and they have to understand that. it's not personal. it's a business. and if somebody wants to trade you, that just means that you didn't do you job. that's why you're on the trading block. but if you was doing your job, your name would never be on the trading block. >> jimmy: well, sometimes a good player will get traded to get a different position. >> but that's meaning that he has some sort of sideline -- you know, him and the coach don't get along or the upstairs don't get along. >> jimmy: what about the marijuana tests though, for the nba? does that apply to the president of basketball operations? >> that's the first rule we're getting rid of. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: so, snoop, you have an

album coming out. it's called, as i mentioned, "i want to thank me." >> yes. >> jimmy: and i was on your show with martha stewart. and we discussed your hollywood -- [ laughter ] snoop was inducted in the hollywood walk of fame -- >> forgive me, jimmy. i'm apologizing early. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: snoop -- there were three speakers on snoop's behalf. quincy jones, dr. dre and yours truly, and we each gave a speech. and at the end, snoop said, "i want thank quincy. you're a mentor to me. i want to thank dre. you believed in me. and most of all -- and i'm like, "wow, most of all?" [ light laughter ] "i want to thank me." not me. [ laughter ] but him, me. [ applause ] so, i was like "oh." anyway, i figured out a way we can put this behind us. >> can we? >> jimmy: yes, and here it is. you don't have any cover art for your album yet, right? >> no, i don't.

>> jimmy: okay. well, we've made something and i'd just like you to consider it. [ laughter ] now this -- [ cheers and applause ] i think this could be a really -- >> that's kind of hot. >> jimmy: what do you think? >> that's -- wait a minute. that's kind of hot. [ laughter ] they used to do that in the '60s with the black artists. they didn't want them on the cover, so they would take somebody else and put another person -- >> jimmy: perfect! [ laughter ] >> let's do it. >> jimmy: i like it. it's got history and everything. >> i like that. that's why, jimmy. >> jimmy: anyway, just think about it. so -- put up the photograph of the guinness. you set a guinness world record recently. the largest gin and juice, ever.

[ laughter ] >> jimmy: well, i would like to set a guinness world record with you, if we could. >> wow. >> jimmy: and that is the

smallest gin and juice ever. [ laughter ] and we have tiny -- what's the right ratio for a proper gin and juice? >> you got to put more juice than gin. >> jimmy: more juice than gin. >> if you want to finish the show. >> jimmy: okay. [ laughter ] so i'll do the juice. >> okay, the juicer. bang. >> jimmy: uh-huh. and then -- >> that's tight. look at that. you got a little chemistry lab going on up here, huh? >> jimmy: yeah, it's fun. [ laughter ] and then -- oh. >> that don't come out like juice. that come out like something else. what is that?

♪ ♪ don't be so shallow we are jamming out because there is a quiet revolut we are jamming out because there is a quiet revolution going on in our tv news industry. it appears it started right here. >> our dear friend and colleague, janai norman, made the brave decision one day to embrace her natural hair on camera, and since then she's never looked back. >> to free my curls i first had to free my mind. that may sound like an overstatement, but really. >> good morning, i'm abc's janai norman. >> for nearly 30 years i was conditioned by a standard of beauty that left me out. i just wasn't included. tv, magazines, society by omission told me i wasn't beautiful.

>> reporting live in columbia, janai norman, abc 17 news. >> my hair needed to be straight, my eyes blue or green, my skin fair. i didn't make the cut. when i got pregnant in 2017, i didn't know if i was having a boy or girl but i knew i wanted my kid to grow up loving themselves. still to this day i hope that my son is confident and knows that he is beautiful and perfect as-is. i believe kids learn best by example. so i knew that i had to embody that confidence, that sense of self-worth in myself. and a big part of that was accepting my hair as it grows from my head. so i was battling this internal conflict. undoing the years of conditioning to try to fit a beauty standard that i would never fit. and at the same time learning to appreciate what makes me unique. while reassuring myself i can still be taken seriously and

seen as a professional with my natural hair. for many women like me in news there's also an external factor we struggle with in deciding to go natural. we worry about whether wearing our natural hair will impact our career trajectory and how we'll be perceived at work. we worry for good reason. there are news directors right now who will not allow black reporters, black anchors, to wear their natural hair on air. and that is a shame. so i was ready to challenge that. and though it's been one of the most liberating decisions of my career, it was not an easy one, and it took some time. so while i was pregnant, i began straightening my hair less and less. and eventually i was wearing wigs to protect my natural hair, my natural curls. the first time i anchored the overnight show, the hairstylist convinced me to unbraid my hair and to wear my natural hair on air as it was. the feedback that morning was fantastic.

so when i was named the overnight anchor a short time later, i decided i wanted to find a way to bring more of my natural self to that role. most of the time i do a twist-out, manipulating my curls a bit. but one monday in december i was back from vacation and i didn't have time to twist my hair. so i did a wash and go, which is just my natural curl pattern with curl cream. i hadn't nailed down my routine or found the right products, and i was so self-conscious. that was the first morning i was on the "gma" set with robin roberts. >> digging the hair. i almost didn't put on a shower cap this morning because i wanted that hair. >> that was it. my husband still laughs at me because for months, years even, he encouraged me to wear my natural hair on air, but i was too nervous, i was too scared, i was so reluctant. but once robin roberts signed off on it, on national television, the rest was history. i hope the young girls growing up, coming up behind me, don't
