this is a fun change of pace for me. normally at this time of night, i'd be in a tuxedo, sipping a glass of champagne, and staring wistfully out of a window. just kidding, i'm usually in my sweatpants making dinner with my wife, watching real housewives. but here i am. this is actually the first time i've been in a quiet, empty house in years. it's crazy at my place right now. we've been homeschooling our kids. this is our set up. designed by chrissy. we started a pod. you know what a pod is? i did not know before this year. it's weird to go from parent to teacher. i have to keep reminding my kids, "it's not 'i hate you, daddy,' it's 'i hate you, mr. john.'" and on top of everything else, my wife and i are expecting our third child.

that's right. we took a look at 2020 and thought "you know what might reduce our stress? a newborn baby." you know what the world needs right now? more people! hey, speaking of big babies, did you hear the tape of the president saying he intentionally tried to downplay the virus even though he knew how serious it was? well, here it is. >> well, i think, bob, really, to be honest but. >> sure, i want you to. >> i wanted to always play it down. i still like playing it down. >> yes. >> because i don't want to create a panic. >> yes, he'd like us to believe antifa is flying across the country to kill us with soup cans but does not want us to panic. by the way, that's not some leaked audio tape. trump said that on the record to bob woodward who was writing a book about him.

and he knew it! my four-year-old is better at keeping secrets. than the president. she knew we were pregnant for weeks before we announced it, and she didn't say a word to bob woodward. trump also said that he knew the virus was airborne very early on, and yet, he still discouraged people from wearing masks. that'd be like knowingly having unprotected sex with a porn star. maybe not the best example. okay, was that enough politics? or too much? i look forward to hearing your thoughts on twitter. i'm sure they'll be fair and not at all crazy. this has been a weird year to be a human and a musician. i'm not doing concerts right now, but some people are. this is from a christian music concert up in sacramento, where there was no social distancing whatsoever. ♪ jesus

♪ >> come on. jesus. >> yeah, jesus is right. i personally believe that our lord and savior would want all the people at that concert to love their neighbor and cover their faces. in fact, i played jesus in jesus christ superstar, so this is technically true. jesus christ says to wear your damn mask! it's been tough to miss out on live shows because i love sharing my music and connecting with fans. and frankly, i love attention. i do. but luckily, i found another way to get it. a lot of singles have been doing these awkward video chat dates during the pandemic, so i worked with the producers here to find real people who had real virtual dates, and then i popped in

unannounced to set the mood. >> what's up? >> hey, how's it going? it's so nice to finally put a face to the voice and the name. >> yeah, let's make this conversation interesting, i don't know. >> yeah. >> i'll give you a fun fact. i was run over by a truck when i was a year and a half old. >> what? >> it rolled over my leg, broke my leg. >> wow. like i had my foot ran over before. by a suv. >> really? >> yeah. ♪ >> i hear some music. >> oh, we got the setting. >> aye, look who it is! >> oh! >> my man. ♪ oh, we've both been run over ♪ we've both been run over ♪ oh, we've both been run over by a car ♪
