[cheers and applause] >> jimmy: i'm jimmy, i'm the host. thank you for watching. thank you for coming. that's very nice. thanks for joining us on yet another extra crispy day for our kentucky fried president. it almost seems as if he's trying to impeach himself at this point. the justice department ordered the trump administration to preserve all notes of his calls

with foreign leaders, especially the sexy ones. he failed to document meetings with vladimir putin, one with kim jong un and a sunday brunch with oj. not really, but you can see it happening, right? and while records with these other leaders might be key to impeachment, they may not need records anymore. you remember that thing that trump did when he asked a government to investigate his rival, joe biden? he did it again, this time on tv. >> what exactly did you hope zelinsky would do about the phone call? >> i would think if they were honest about it, they'd start a major investigation into the bidens. it's a very simple answer. they should investigate the bidens, because how does a company that's newly formed and all these companies, and by the way, likewise, china should start an investigation into the bidens.

>> jimmy: everyone should be investigated. why isn't, rarely during a witch hunt do you see the witch drown herself. but this is, either that or this is some kind of a strategy. to do this again in public, this is like how dare you say i cheated on my wife with a porn star. come here, stormy, let's do it in front of everyone. trump's latest outlandish claim is that china gave joe biden's son a billion and a half dollars. he has paid more attention to joe biden's son than eric and don jr. their entire lives. but the president was on a roll this morning shouting from the lawn. he called the impeachment a democrat scam. he keeps tweeting and repeating that there wasn't anything wrong with the perfect, beautiful phone call. mitch mcconnell reached out to tell him how perfectly, totally wonderful it was. >> he read my phone call with the president of ukraine, mitch mcconnell.

he said that is the most innocent phone call. give me a break. anybody that reads it says the same thing. >> jimmy: yes, your phone calls are innocent, your crowds are the biggest, your hands are the largest. your face is the orangest. you are the best at everything, you, even god is jealous of you, donald trump. trump is roping everyone into this. this could go all the way to the space force. today we learned the vice poodle, mike pence, may have gotten his hands dirty, too. primt is said to have pence met with the president of ukraine last month kiev. officials close to pence said he likely did not read the transcript of trump's call with the ukrainian president before that trip even though he had it in his briefing book the whole flight to ukraine. the vice president and his staff really don't want to get mixed up in this.

pence is reportedly preparing to spend a lot of time on the road this month. they say if he distances himself from trump anymore, trump might have to make him first lady of the united states. [cheers and applause] but mike pence, you know, he's a steady guy, calm, treating his dealings with ukraine the same way he handles his sex life, quietly and completely in the dark. don't worry, mother, it's me. but trump isn't letting him off the leash. trump actually said to reporters. this is not a joke. he said if his calls with ukraine should be questioned, mike pence's should be, too. before he goes down with this ship he's handcuffing himself to his first mate. the other guy who might be in trouble is rudy giuliani. trump's lawyer. in a normal administration, a lawyer would sit the president, his client, down and say admitting to crimes on tv is a

bad idea, but rudy has been very busy running around admitting to crimes himself on tv. a surprise meeting was called to share a folder of conspiracy theories. and disinformation targeting the bidens. so last night, giuliani went on cnn and said those documents, they came from me. they came from an investigator who works for him. and the best part of it is, they kept the documents in folders that said "trump hotel" on them. they got them from like the business center. that's called hiding in plain sight, folks. and you know who's been consulting rudy, giving him advice on ukraine? paul manafort, trump's former campaign chairman, who's current in prison for what he did in ukraine. we're like one news cycle away from rudy giuliani unhinging his jaw and swallowing a mongoose on fox and friends.

rudy did get a few shouts out in congress. testimony from curt volker was heard. he resigned from his post on friday. he testified before three committees behind closed doors. during the testimony, volker said he warned giuliani that the information he was getting about biden and his son was untrustworthy, but rudy kept spreading it anyway. the whistle-blower says volker was trying to control the damage trump was doing by withholding military aid in exchange for dirt on the bidens, and that's fine. i get that. but here's the thing. all you guys in the trump administration who think you're controlling the damage by being there, you're not. the damage is out of control. you might as well try stop a volcano with your thumb at this point. stop thinking you're the adults in the room. the room is on fire. run for your lives, okay? right guillermo? >> that's right, jimmy. >> jimmy: you know about this

stuff. >> yes. run for your life. >> jimmy: how about we do something that has nothing to do with donald trump. is anyone okay with that? [cheers and applause] every now and then we take some time to pit senior versus junior in a battle of the ages. it's time to play generation gap! we went to hollywood boulevard where cousin sal is standing by. hello, cousin sal. >> what's happenin', jimmy? >> jimmy: sal is part of nfl football on thursday night on fox. so congratulations to you, sal. >> let me just say, i ran into our boss, bob iger in the greenroom. he told me the filthiest joke. >> jimmy: what did he tell you? >> he'll tell you. >> jimmy: now that you've not the job you can say whatever you want. let's meet our contestants. first up, a student, say hello to noah.

noah, what is the common name for the fake sets of teeth older people put in their mouths. >> dentures. >> jimmy: dentures is correct. pat, what is the common name for the gold sets of teeth rappers put in their mouths. >> crib or grid. >> jimmy: oh, you're so, so close. >> crib, grid. >> jimmy: let's give it to her. >> caesar something. >> grill, grill. >> that's what i meant. >> jimmy: no a crib is a house. you would never put a house in your mouth. all right, we have a tie game. we're going to get back to the rules now. pat, name this cartoon duo. >> oh, beavis and butt-head. >> jimmy: oh, very close, pat, that is not correct. noah? >> that is rick and morty. >> jimmy: rick and morty is

absolutely correct. next question is for noah, name this cartoon duo. >> tom and jerry. >> jimmy: oh, wow, noah. you really have been inhabited by the soul of an old man. haven't you? >> yeah. >> jimmy: do you get up a lot to pee in the night? >> yes, yes, i do. >> jimmy: all right. noah, the next question is, again, for you. noah, what does hbo stand for? >> uh, hairy broadcast orientation? >> jimmy: you were so, so close. pat, what does hbo stand for? >> home box office. >> jimmy: home box office is correct. pat is back, back in the game. pat, the next question is for you, too. pat, what does lmao stand for? >> laugh my ass off? >> jimmy: that's correct. a tie game! wow, this is exciting. we've got a tie game.

our next question, it's for pat. >> okay. >> jimmy: pat, this singer shares a name with which planet? >> oh, my god. mars? >> jimmy: mars is correct. that is bruno mars. very well done. noah, you thought you were running away with this thing, but no! >> no, no, i'm not. >> jimmy: noah, this cartoon dog shares his name with which planet? the one on the screen. >> well, pluto, yeah. >> jimmy: pluto is right. >> i was thinking snoopy for a second. >> jimmy: i see what you're saying, noah, there is some discussion as to whether or not pluto is a planet. >> yeah, i honestly don't think so. >> jimmy: very opinionated young man, all right, we've got a tie game. let's go to our final set of questions.

>> okay. >> jimmy: all right, are you ready? >> yep. >> mm-hm. >> jimmy: all right. the question is going to be on our video screen. pay attention. >> oh! >> jimmy: okay. the first question is for noah. >> yeah. >> what is the name of this tv show starring me! >> jimmy: ooh, what is the name of that tv show, starring danny devito. >> now i know, sonny in philadelphia. >> jimmy: you've just given pat her next answer. did you want to take a look at the picture? >> taxi. >> jimmy: you just gave noah the answer! i think we're going to call this a tie, what do you say, danny? >> yeah. >> definitely a tie. >> jimmy: neither one of you are going home empty handed or empty wristed. for you, pat, a new apple watch.

we're at madison square garden. it's not like there's a listerine store in madison square garden. so i dutifully ran out and found a drugstore of some sort. this is before cvs. this is 45 years ago. and found listerine, went to his dressing room, knocked on the door, felt like i was about four feet tall. and a security person, who was about ten feet tall opened the door, yes? i said i have mr. sinatra's listerine. yeah, kid, wait a minute. the next thing i know, frank sinatra appears. what's your name? i told him my name. where are you from? i was born in brooklyn. the two of us are brooklyn boys. he said what do you do? i gave him my title, gave him the listerine. he handed me a fresh $100 bill. >> jimmy: wow. >> interestingly enough, at the end of the concert, everybody that worked on the concert got a gold cigarette

lighter that said "thanks, frank". i spent the $100 bill in like five seconds and kept the cigarette lighter. >> jimmy: oh, that's pretty good. oh, you have it, you have it right here. may i have a look at it? >> yeah. >> jimmy: this is from frank sinatra. >> never been used. probably worth about $5. i gave it to my dad. >> jimmy: wow. >> who was a big sinatra fan. my dad died in 2011. >> jimmy: look at that. and now you're giving it to me, wow. so nice. [cheers and applause] really makes up for the discount. [ laughter ] you -- >> hold on. i'm putting this in my pocket. >> jimmy: you did an event with oprah last week, and at that event, oprah says she wishes you would run for president. and she says if you did run for president she would go door to door passing out leaflets. >> mm-hm. >> jimmy: wouldn't it be fun

to do it, just so we could see oprah passing out leaflets? wouldn't that be a treat? [cheers and applause] >> and i don't know where you're going with this, but i will run for president if you also join oprah. >> jimmy: if i join oprah? oh, i would absolutely pass out leaflets. there's no question about it. i'll mow lawns. if donald trump is removed from office, impeached, will you remove him from the hall of presidents at disneyland and disney world with his robot? [cheers and applause] >> i think i'm allowed to plead the fifth. >> jimmy: you are. yeah. did you have any second thoughts when you were writing the book about what you should put in there, what you should not put in there? >> well, it's glaring that you're not in there. i obviously made that decision. >> jimmy: i assume you're saving that for the next 15 years.

>> i wanted to write a book that was essentially a collection of leadership lessons, i did a fair amount of editing, 2,800 edits, five days before my deadline. >> jimmy: really? >> yes. >> jimmy: wow. who came up with the title? was that your idea? "ride of a lifetime"? >> is it a good idea? >> jimmy: i came up with some other ones. maybe use it for the next one. this one is "i bought fox and i'll buy you too" "crouching iger." this i like a lot. i've seen c 3 po nude. speaking of c-3po, at this country that is disney, that is practically a country now. the company's worth almost five

times what it was when you started. you bought marvel, pixar, lucasfilm. there's some talk you may buy the ocean. i understand. pacific, pacific. >> if that works, we'll move on to the atlantic, right? >> jimmy: we lost spiderman to sony somehow. and then you got spiderman back. how did you get spiderman back? >> miraculously. >> jimmy: was tom holland really a part of that conversation? >> he was, he was. we had an event called d-23. >> jimmy: right. >> and tom was there, because he's a voice in a new pixar movie called "onward" with chris pratt, and he said something on stage. and it was clear that the fans wanted tom back as spiderman. >> jimmy: yes, it was. >> made by marvel and our marvel production team. >> jimmy: right.

>> and after d-23, tom reached out to folks who work with me and said can i please have bob's phone number or e-mail? of course i'm very protective. and i said sure. have him reach out to me. we spoke, and he cried on the phone. >> jimmy: oh, did he really? >> no, not really. it was obvious he cared so much. and he's a great spiderman, isn't he? >> jimmy: he's the best spiderman. [cheers and applause] >> and i felt, i actually, i felt for him, and it was clear that the fans wanted all this to happen. so after i got off the phone with him i made a couple phone calls to our team at disney, and i called the head of sony. i said we have to figure out a way to get this done for tom and the fans. >> jimmy: like two divorced parent coming together and figuring it out, and that's how it happened.

>> that's how it happened. he called me. [cheers and applause] and i called them. you know what happens, you know, sometimes, you know, companies when they're negotiating or people when they're negotiating with one another, they kind of forget that there are other folks out there that actually matter. >> jimmy: there are spider men and women out there whom you have to think of in these situations. >> there's a whole parker family out there. >> jimmy: thank you for bringing the parkers back to marvel your god intended them to be. bob iger!
