thank you. i'm jimmy, i'm the host of the show. [ cheers and applause ] thank you for watching. thanks to all of you here in our studio for braving the elements to be here tonight. wow. on a rare rainy day in southern california. this is one of those days when everyone who works here shows up dressed like the killer in "i know what you did last summer." [ laughter ] and you know who we can thank for the rain? president trump. [ laughter ] he finally turned the sprinklers on. we have a very, very -- we have a very crazy person running our country right now. [ laughter ] like, standing in the intersection loudly talking to himself crazy. [ laughter ] yesterday, trump held a doozy of a press conference with the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, where he surprised everyone, including the people who work for him, i think, by unveiling this plan for gaza, which is to relocate everyone who lives there permanently. he would remove the almost 2 million palestinians who live there and build a really cool real estate development that we would own.

and i guess sell to others? this is really what he wants to do. it's like our country is being run by the maniac from "saw." [ laughter ] donald "jigsaw" trump. and of course, the big question -- one of the big questions, besides "are you out of your -- mind" is if you pull all the palestinians out of palestine, who would then live there? >> to follow up on what you were saying about the gazans leaving gaza, going to other countries, one, where exactly are you suggesting they should go, and two, are you saying they should return after it's rebuilt, and if not, who do you envision living from? >> i envision a world -- people living there, the world's people. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: the world's people. or maybe the village people. [ laughter ] you can see he's really thought this through. [ applause ] every idea is worse than the last. he seems to believe that the reason there's been conflict in gaza is because no one thought to give them a pickleball court. [ laughter ] everything, no matter what the

crisis may be, it always comes back to real estate with him. >> we have an opportunity to do something that could be phenomenal. and i don't want to be cute, i don't want to be a wise guy. but the riviera of the middle east, this could be something that could be so -- this could be so magnificent. >> jimmy: i can see the brochures now. "the riviera of the middle east." [ laughter ] trump didn't even have success with the atlantic city of new jersey. never mind the riviera of the middle east. [ laughter ] we could make it the vegas of somalia! and the everyone will love it! [ laughter ] this "plan" to develop and repopulate gaza, it's never going to happen. the leaders of egypt, saudi arabia, qatar, jordan, turkey, france, germany, spain, the uk, have all forcefully rejected it. the only thing the united nations and the taliban have in common is that they both think this is a terrible idea. [ laughter ] but trump says he spoke to the leaders and everybody loves it. [ laughter ] all this was apparently news to trump's new secretary of state, marco rubio, i guess isn't in

the loop because he reportedly first learned about it when trump announced it on tv. [ laughter ] this is good. look at this reaction from his chief of staff, susie wiles, who is usually so unflappable, trump calls her "the ice maiden." that's his nickname. [ laughter ] that what you're seeing there, that is the face of a woman whose soul just exited her body at the speed of light. [ laughter ] speaker of the house and human squirrel mike johnson said trump's little project in gaza is a quote "bold move," and majority whip tom emmer used it to make the claim that democrats are anti-semitic. >> the far-left's continued embrace of vicious attacks against the jewish community has shown their true colors. there is no denying that today's democrat party is the pro-terrorist, anti-semitic party. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: isn't that the guy who said jews are responsible for all the wars? in fairness, he's only anti-semitic when he's drunk. [ laughter ]

here's the thing. everyone around trump knows this stupid idea just popped out of his head. but it's not like he didn't warn us. say what you will, but trump is delivering exactly what he promised to when he started his campaign. he even put it in an ad! >> hello, everyone. it's time to take this country back from sleepy joe and make america great again. first we're going to build a big, beautiful, beachfront resort on the ancestral homeland of the palestinian people who will be sent far, far away. next, we're going to get tough -- on denmark. soon, maga will stand for make a greenland america. i also promise to start a nasty, unprovoked trade war with our friendliest neighbor, canada. and will immediately sign an executive order to raise the price of prescription drugs. kamala wouldn't do that. i also promised 2 billion gallons of beautiful california

reservoir water into the ground for no reason at all. and if elected, i will immediately put a blackout drunk in charge of our military. and give this guy -- >> yeah! >> good guy, rich, your social security numbers and the keys to all the computers to do whatever the hell he wants. only i, donald j. trump, will put a brainworm in charge of your body, rename the gulf of america, and fire half the fbi and cia. but i need your support. this november, vote for the only candidate strong enough to [ bleep ] everything up. donald j. trump. gimme your money. thank you. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: you're welcome. promises made, promises kept. at the white house today, our president signed what he is calling the "no men in women's sports executive order." he made a big show of it. he brought in a bunch of kids, a bunch of girls who play sports to bear witness as he signed this important historical document.

>> pretty good, huh? i see that. okay? good. now you're going to go out and win those events, right? nice to see you all. none of you girls have wieners, do you? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: what? shocking. [ laughter ] you know, we still can't get background checks for people who want to buy machine guns. but somehow, if they find nuts in your speedo, it's punishable by law. [ laughter ] this is interesting. there was a man in indiana who decided to demonstrate how nonsensical our gun laws are by getting himself a license to carry a handgun, which he was able to do with no problem -- even though he cannot see. >> this is how terry navigates the world, with a seeing eye stick. it's when he used when he came to this office to get fingerprinted for his concealed carry permit.

>> it went very smoothly and normally. and nobody seemed to think anything about it. if i can have a gun, why can't i have a driver's license? what's the worst that could happen? i could kill somebody? [ laughter ] >> how does a blind man get a gun? >> i have no idea. >> wow. well. we'll tell you how starbucks and applebee's are helping you get in the mood -- >> jimmy: yeah, yeah, tell us more about starbucks and applebee's, won't you? [ laughter ] we've got a top-quality show for you tonight. the great bernadette peters is with us. [ cheers and applause ] making her late night television debut, victoria canal is here.

[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: that is ariana grande in "wicked." for which she is nominated for an academy award.

i've heard -- i don't know anything about singing, but i've heard that this particular musical is very difficult to sing. were those songs challenging even for you with this voice? >> well, thank you. but yes, it required, like, a lot of retraining of my voice. just because vocal -- like glinda's vocal track so is different than what i usually sing. with pop music, i usually sing in my mixy belt register. sometimes it goes in a falsetto place. sometimes a little whistly. glinda exists in the fully operatic soprano register. i had to train to learn how to sing it and make that part of my voice a lot stronger and train my vowel sounds and my consonants. and i started training three months before my first audition. and it's funny because you could actually, like, hear when you go back and listen to the voice, it's like week by week the sound evolved. it's really nerdy, but -- >> jimmy: is it like lifting weights in some ways? >> yes, it's totally like that.

your vocal cord are cords like any muscle are just muscles, so they have to learn a new habit. when you're singing pop music or doing one style of singing for a long time, they're accustomed to that. so glinda's style of singing is a completely opposite, yeah. >> jimmy: like my aunt chippy. she screams at us so much. [ laughter ] that she's unable to whisper now. [ laughter ] >> right. >> jimmy: when she tries to do it -- >> it's muscle memory, yes. >> jimmy: which you shot the movie, which of the songs was the first one you sang? >> oh, no -- actually, i think it was "popular." [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: it was "popular." that was the first one. >> it was first. >> jimmy: did you say, like, i want to do that one first? >> no, that was just what was on the shooting schedule. and i was like, wow. diving right in, let's go. [ laughter ] let's go. >> jimmy: as you know, kids in particular are crazy about this movie. my daughter, my son, they loved the movie. and we -- you know, of course, kids have questions.

they think you're glinda. you know, they don't necessarily know that you're an actor playing that part. they think you're a good witch. so we went out, and we did this with cynthia when she was here last week. we went out on hollywood boulevard, we asked kids if they had a question for you. >> oh, my god. >> jimmy: and they did. would you mind answering some of them? >> i would love to answer. >> jimmy: here we go, here's our first kid. >> i'm anna from australia. >> do you have any questions for glinda? >> is there going to be a season 2 of "wicked"? [ laughter ] >> oh, my god. she's so cute. i suppose in a way there is going to be a season two. >> jimmy: there is a season two. >> yes, november 2025. [ cheers and applause ] she'll have a season two. love you. >> jimmy: who else do we have out there? >> my name is alyssa, and my question is, glinda, do you play any video games? like "brawl stars" or "roblox" or anything like that? >> that's the coolest person i've ever seen. [ laughter ]

>> jimmy: i've never heard of "brawl stars," but i'm very familiar with "roblox." did you do any of that stuff? >> i don't know what any of those are. i don't think glinda knows. i don't know. >> jimmy: oh, yeah. you're answering in character now. >> i thought they were for glinda. >> jimmy: yeah, they are, but even i'm confused now. >> where's the line? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: nobody knows. >> where does one end and one begin? >> jimmy: maybe this one's more straightforward, here we go. >> my name is antony. >> do you have any questions for glinda? >> does she like spider-man? >> jimmy: now, that's a good question. does she like spider-man? >> i don't know that we exist in the same universe. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah, i guess you don't, right? >> spider-man and oz, i don't know that she would know. i think she would enjoy the idea of it. >> jimmy: i have to believe they'd get along. >> like galinda, i have a question for glinda. >> jimmy: how about ariana? do you like spider-man? sure, why not? of course.

>> my name is norm, and i'm from sydney, australia. >> what's your question for glinda? >> do you like to eat sausages? >> oh, goodness, wow. [ laughter ] so, no. we're vegan. [ laughter ] but there are vegan sausages. >> jimmy: they have vegan sausages, right? >> yeah, yeah, you know? i want to make him happy. [ laughter ] whatever you want. sure. >> jimmy: we don't know, maybe he's very anti-sausage, we don't know where he's coming from. >> wow, i love that those are the questions. >> jimmy: yeah, they're very insightful, aren't they? >> it makes me so happy, wow. >> jimmy: it's great to have you here. good luck at the oscars. we'll all be watching.

waiting for this moment. and they have also been praying for this very moment that we have watched unfold here in hostage square in tel aviv. and i can tell you that as the images have been broadcast on the screen, you see in the distance behind me, there were applause. there were applause when they saw the red cross vehicles arriving at that site in khan yunis, and there were applause when they first saw the three hostages, including sagi cohen, appearing out of one of the vans and then moving to the stage there. you may have just heard more applause there. the reaction here is certainly one of relief. stephanie. it has been for 497 agonizing days for these families and for the friends of the hostages. and so for this moment to unfold here is certainly a moment of relief and a brief moment of happiness. but then very quickly, the. yeah, they're just announcing the names of the hostages, saying that they have been freed. but

as we hear the applause and the happiness, it very quickly transitions to concern for the rest of the hostages who are still being held. and certainly the families are hoping that the cease fire will hold and that the rest of those hostages will be returned home as well. >> absolutely. so many emotions there of joy, but also of just the unknown. for those families who are still waiting for their loved ones who are watching this video again, where that swap happened. we watched as the three hostages walked out of the van together. they said a few words on stage and then were escorted to separate vehicles with the red cross. that's the video you're watching there. as marcus mentioned, approximately 70 hostages remain in gaza, with another two exchanges scheduled before the end of phase one of the deal between israel and hamas. again, three hostages, including israeli american sergei chen, have been turned over to the red cross by hamas and are on their way to israel. we'll have the latest on abc
