[ cheering and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: hello, everybody. welcome. i'm jimmy. i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. thank you for coming. hey, i got a question for you. how many of you in our studio audience got outside on saturday to look at the eclipse? did you know there was an aclips

on saturday morning? did you wear the glasses? no, no protection. i figured that. on saturday morning we had a solar eclipse. it was visible from the western united states. this was the view from l.a. did you see it, guillermo? >> guillermo: i did not see it, jimmy. >> jimmy: did you know what happened? >> guillermo: yeah, but i fell asleep. >> jimmy: you were asleep. this is what it looked like from nevada. it's one fishing kid away from being the dreamworks logo. the eclipse created a ring of fire in the sky over north, central and south america, which sadly no one saw because we were all at the movies watching taylor swift the taylor swift concert movie made $93 million at the box office this weekend. it's the biggest concert movie of all time by far. we took our kids to see it yesterday. it was crazy. this video is not from the show we were at, but it tells you all you need to know. it was like an outpouring of

emotion. the energy was somewhere between like the wiggles and a drug-fueled rage. lots of teenaged girls laying on the ground, taking videos of themselves, singing and crying. my kids were going nuts. they were all hopped up on skittles. my 6-year-old was just randomly tackling people like he was in a mosh pit. and i know he's now going to want to do that at every movie. this taylor swift, i don't know that i've ever seen anything like this. thank god she's peaceful because she could easily kill us all. if she wanted to. you know, we still don't have a speaker of the house. the house is expected to vote on a speaker tomorrow. but the guy they nominated is far from being a lock. the most recent nominee is jim jordan of ohio. which is quite a choice. jim jordan has been in congress for 16 years, he hasn't sponsored a single bill that passed. for real. zero bills passed in 16 years. even george santos is like "you suck." jim jordan has a lot of strikes

against him. he voted to overturn the results of the presidential election, so democrats don't like him. he's been a hardcore donald trumper so a lot of moderate republicans don't like him. but these republicans are in a tough spot. either they cave to the extremists in their party, who want to impeach joe biden and hand ukraine to putin. or they work with the democrats who want to fight climate change and give sick people health care. so it's a no-win situation. really. so now it's a dilemma. they can't run the government without the speaker. so i guess now what they're going to do is let the people decide. >> the house is in chaos. >> the house has been without a speaker for almost two weeks. >> republicans are now scrambling to find a new leader. >> it's time to let america decide. 12 costumed candidates pleading their case. matt gaetz -- >> why is it with the women with the least likelihood of getting pregnant are the ones most

worried about having abortions? >> marjorie taylor greene. >> pete buttigieg can take his electric vehicles and he and his husband can stay out of our girls' bathroom. >> jim jordan -- >> they canceled the host of the bachelor, you see last week they tried to cancel kermit the frog and mr. potato head. >> george santos. >> i was not a drag queen in brazil. i was young and had fun at a festival. sue me for having a life. >> and a mystery guest straight from a d.c. court. >> look at joe biden. >> thinks he looks good in a bathing suit, right? i have a much better body than him. >> this house is on fire for one election no one can deny. who will it be? >> rudy giuliani! >> don't miss the [ bleep ] show. the masked speaker followed by an all new "how i met mother." >> jimmy: wednesday nights at 8:00 p.m. on fox. [ applause ]

the other drama in the house is the one starring a real-life cartoon character from long island, representative george santos, who has you probably know is facing 23 felony charges. for whatever reason was seen roaming the halls of congress this weekend with a baby. remember that scene in titanic when billy zane starts grabbing random kids so he can get on a lifeboat? i mean, call me old fashioned, but anything more than 20 felony charges and you don't get to hold my baby. a reporter asked santos if it was his baby and he said, "not yet!" make that 24 felony charges. and then while he had the baby in his hand, he got into it with a guy who confronted him about the terrorist attack on israel and just lost his mind. >> the fact that we have terrorist sympathizers in this building is unacceptable! they should not be allowed in here. what is happening in this room is abhorrent, that's what it is. and the next time you try to

accost me with a child in my hand, i want him out of here! >> what happened? >> he is an animal! he is a [ bleep ] terrorist sympathizer. >> jimmy: when he gets all fired up like that, it gives you a better understanding of how he was able to become a state volley ball champion at such a young age. one of the reasons santos is so upset is because in the last quarter, his campaign raised minus $16,000. for real. they had to issue refunds totalling $17,000, and they only brought in $674. which is basically how radio shack wrapped it up. so carrying around a baby was a good diversion, but, also, if our former president is to be believed, a very dangerous thing to do. around republicans. >> but remember, republicans eat their young. they really do. they eat their young. terrible statement, but it's true. >> jimmy: it's true. the only reason he didn't eat eric is because he was a democrat back then.

a federal judge today issued a partial gag order on trump in the case related to january 6th. the order prevents trump from publicly targeting prosecutors, the judge's staff, or possible witnesses. which, aren't we all possible witnesses? i dont know about you, but i saw the whole thing happen. trump's lawyers said he had no intention of intimidating any witnesses or court staff including the judge, tanya chutkin, the one who lives at 2747 maple view lane, white nissan sentra parked outside. but even with this gag order, trump is still allowed to disparage the justice department, president biden and other perceived enemies, as long as what he says doesn't directly reference his case. which that should be no problem. this is a man who chooses his words very carefully. and of course they're already fundraising off this gag order team trump sent an email to supporters saying "today really isn't about gagging me. it's an attempt to gag the american people." no, it's you. we're still able to say what we

want. ahead of the hearing last night, trump took to truth social to post this vomit-filled word cloud. "tomorrow is a big day for democracy. a leaking, crooked and deranged prosecutor, jack smith, who has a terrible record of failure, is asking a highly partisan obama-appointed judge, tanya chutkan, who should recuse herself based on the horrible things she has said, to silence me, through the use of a powerful gag order, making it impossible for me to criticize those who are doing the silencing, namely crooked joe biden, and his corrupt and weaponized doj and fbi. they want to take away my first amendment rights, and my ability to both campaign and defend myself. in other words, they want to cheat and interfere in the 2024 presidential election." there you go. he's already challenging the outcome of this one. the election that hasn't even happened yet. "nothing like this has ever happened in our country before. it is strictly banana republic kind of stuff. these political hacks and thugs are destroying our country. let's see what happens on monday in judge chutkan's courtroom. will america survive, or not? i'll be campaigning in the great

state of iowa, where i am leading by 50 points!!!" so now, unfortunately for trump, with the gag order in place, his posts now looks like this. "tomorrow is a big day for me, they want to take away my banana." and you can't do that. [ applause ] just to clarify, stormy daniels said it was more like a baby carrot than a banana. trump weighed in on the gag order while on the campaign trail in iowa. >> but what they don't understand is that i am willing to go to jail if that's what it takes for our country to win and become a democracy again. >> jimmy: oh yeah, we understand that. that actually is the plan. you go to jail and the country becomes a democracy again. i'm glad we're finally on the same page! [ cheering and applause ] in baseball, the playoffs are underway. the texas rangers are playing

the houston astros in the alcs. the phillies hosted the diamondbacks tonight for game one of the nlcs. the phillies clinched their division thursday night, thanks in part to a stellar performance at the plate by right fielder nick castellanos >> nick, nobody in major league history has hit two home runs on back-to-back postseason games, but you just did, and you guys are headed to the nlcs. >> where is the question in that? >> there is no question. >> thank you for coming. >> jimmy: that's what you call a "thank you" and an "f you" all wrapped up into one. but nick wasn't finished. he made an equally sunny appearance a few minutes later on "mlb tonight." >> i don't know why you and philadelphia works. it's the best fit. would you agree with me? >> you're asking me? >> yeah, you and philly is the best fit. nick castellanos always needed to play for the philadelphia phillies. am i on to something? >> i mean, yeah, i [ bleep ] philly. [ laughter ]

>> jimmy: that means he likes it. he enjoys being part of the community. so the phillies are back in the national league play-offs. you know what else is back, covid is back. so many people aren't bothering to get the new booster shot even though lots of people are testing positive. it seems like we have a wave of covid now to partner up with the flu every fall, which is a dangerous combination. so we put our man on the street out onto hollywood boulevard to spread the bad word, in a special medical edition of "breaking the news." ♪ >> breaking the news! covid edition. sing a song of sickness? why many are saying the leading spreader of covid is karaoke microphones. what is your karaoke jam? >> "i will always love you."

>> page 6 is waiting for whatever i say. you know what i really wanted to say? >> jimmy: what? >> fiancee. >> jimmy: oh! wait until later in the season. >> no, i didn't. because i figured travis would beat me up at the end of the game. >> jimmy: or maybe he'd be thrilled. i don't know. >> he could have been. or she would have beaten me up. >> jimmy: he seems to have visualized this oprah-style, and it suddenly came true. >> it's crazy. >> jimmy: ita really is. >> it's hard because people tune in to watch a football game. i'm not doing "access hollywood." >> jimmy: but on the other hand, it is a football game. it's not -- it's not that important. sorry, guys, it really is. >> well, i was in a transition into billy bush and do it the way "access hollywood." but at a certain point, where do you go from here? >> jimmy: do you ever talk to the celebrity? i'm sure sometimes they come to the booth. but when there is a big celebrity at a game, do you go say hi to them beforehand, or

vice versa? >> rarely. because i don't get to normally see them. we used to in the old days on monday night football, we'd bring people into the booth. >> jimmy: yeah, right. >> we had dave letterman in the booth once. >> jimmy: i was in the booth once, and they banned me from broadcasting. from "monday night football." >> jimmy had one of the great lines of all time. this is year after i leave, thank god. and first of all, jimmy says to show joe theismann, how's the leg? he had the worst injury of the year on monday night football thinking was 17 years ago. >> and then michael vick had gone to jail because he was in a dogfighting ring. he is in jail. he is not playing for atlanta. they have a new quarterback, joey harrington. jimmy says joey harrington might not be a very good quarterback, but he is very nice to his pets. >> jimmy: that's right. forgot about that. [ applause ] we had fun. >> and ban celebrities in the

booth forever. >> jimmy: now that you're on amazon, you're doing prime video. and now gambling is everywhere. every game you hear gambling, gambling, gambling, gambling. i love when you slip in those little gambling references. because it was so silly that they pretend people weren't betting on these games. >> the league would look at you, you're not supposed to do this, but in reality, we're happy he is doing this. look where they are right now. >> jimmy: you're the only one allowed to do it. >> i was the only one who did it. >> jimmy: right. >> and i had to worry whether the pink slip was in the envelope the next day. >> jimmy: is it less fun now that it's okay? is it like smoking weed now? eh. >> well, it is. but people expect me to do. i've gotten to the point, the other night i said well, the game can't end at 10 1/2. i figure i'm taking it to next level. >> jimmy: how is o.j.? are you keeping in touch with him? [ laughter ] not a lot -- >> no, no.

that's not the thing i've done. remember, i did the bronco chase. i did the play by play on that. >> jimmy: you sure did that was incredible. >> oh, baby. >> jimmy: i was thinking about the other day, and i was thinking about the earthquake in san francisco, and how you were on air. and it became like, and in a way, not only did you elevate, not only did we aoh, al michaels can handle anything as a broadcaster, but i think you elevated the whole, all of sports broadcastin and said we can do this just as well as you can do this. >> it goes back to -- [ applause ] >> jimmy: you know? >> well, most couldn't. it guess back the what i learned in the tenth grade in journalism. who, what, when, where, why, and how. so you're transitioning from sports to news, but it's the same thing. it's the facts. try the get all the facts right. >> jimmy: when you were starting out as a young broadcaster in hawaii i think. >> right. >> jimmy: you would have to recreate these games. >> road games.

>> jimmy: the games, because i mean, that's dhash -- that must difficult to do. >> we couldn't travel. it was too much money. we would sit in the studio. get the report, let's say they were playing in portland, the hawaiian islanders. and we would make the game with the crowd noise behind us. you know who started that way? >> jimmy: who? >> ronald reagan. ronald reagan was a sportscaster in des moines, i believe. he had done those games. i followed in some pretty good footsteps. but if the game was really lousy and we'd get the report, i'd make that game go by. a baseball game, i can make it go by in about an hour and 10 minutes. >> jimmy: tell me a howard cosell story. i love hearing about you on the road with howard and what a quirky -- for those who don't know who howard cosell is, you owe yourself. go back and watch some youtube videos. >> right. >> jimmy: one of the great characters in sports. >> for sure. so many stories. we were in kansas city one night, and howard, in those

years, abc, no budget. so we would have a long white half block long limousine taking us everywhere. so howard and i go to the savoy grill in kansas city, a good steakhouse. howard has about nine vodkas. an aquarium's worth of vodka. we get back in, and the limo driver, we knew her. she had been driving for a number of years. she's in her mid-50s. her name was peggy. and we're driving back through not the best part of kansas city. and we stop at a stoplight, and there is two kids having a fight on the sidewalk surrounded by five other kids. and howard gets out of the car. not only that, but howard would only bring one jacket on the road. it's the yellow canariry yellow jacket that abc would wear. and he's got the toupee and he's got the cigar. and meanwhile, i'm trying to grab him. there are no cell phones. peggy is screaming, but he is out of the car, on to the sidewalk.

and he goes, it's quite apparent to this observer the young southpaw does not have a jab requisite for the continuation of this fray. furthermore, his opponent is a man of inferior and diminishing skills. this confrontation is halted posthaste. peggy is screaming. i've got an 11-year-old and a 7-year-old at home. i can't call a cop. i'm getting out of town if they jump him. it's the moment of truth. somebody, a pen or a pinsle, signs a couple of autographs, pats him on the head, gets back into the car. it was so surreal. so peggy, you know, takes off at zero to 60, gets about two blocks away, stops at another red light, looks into the rear view mirror, mr. cosell, excuse me, i've been driving for 30 years. i thought i'd seen everything. i've never seen anything like that. and howard, you know, very self-satisfied, leaning back, the whole thing, takes a drag on the stogie and says, pegaroo,

just remember one thing. i know who i am. [ applause ] >> jimmy: unbelievable. >> thank god. >> jimmy: the great al michaels, everybody. he is on "thursday night football" on prime video. thanks al. we'll be back with lil yachty. when i was diagnosed with h-i-v, i didn't know who i would be. but here i am... being me. keep being you... and ask your healthcare provider about the number one prescribed h-i-v treatment, biktarvy. biktarvy is a complete, one-pill, once-a-day treatment used for h-i-v in many people whether you're 18 or 80. with one small pill, biktarvy fights h-i-v to help you get to undetectable—and stay there whether you're just starting or replacing your current treatment. research shows that taking h-i-v treatment as prescribed and getting to and staying undetectable prevents transmitting h-i-v through sex. serious side effects can occur, including kidney problems and kidney failure. rare, life-threatening side effects include a buildup of lactic acid and liver problems.

do not take biktarvy if you take dofetilide or rifampin. tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines and supplements you take, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have kidney or liver problems, including hepatitis. if you have hepatitis b do not stop taking biktarvy without talking to your healthcare provider. common side effects were diarrhea, nausea, and headache. no matter where life takes you, biktarvy can go with you. talk to your healthcare provider today. may i join you? mhmm. that's perfect. i like to cook. it's just chemistry. you're on the verge of a break through. why would anyone discriminate based on gender? how many female scientists can you name? exactly. ♪ we have rules. ♪ change is what we are chemically designed for. let's begin, shall we? ♪ can the flavor of a slow cooked, smoked sausage be so gloriously delicious that the sight of it sizzling makes your taste buds weep?
