during his hour-plus-long press conference yesterday at mar-a-lago president-elect trump talked about annexing greenland, renaming the gulf of mexico the gulf of america, taking back the panama canal, and making canada the, quote, "51st state." [ laughter ] so, god only know what is he has in mind for day two. [ laughter ] in a new interview with "usa today," president biden confirmed that he is considering pre-emptive pardons for president-elect trump's political enemies including dr. anthony fauci, former republican congresswoman liz cheney, and the wind. [ laughter ] according to new poll, president biden is leaving office with the lowest net positive rating since former president nixon. though i'm guessing a lot of nixon's records are about to get broken. [ laughter ] former republican congressman matt gaetz said in a new interview that he is, quote, "starting to think about running for governor of florida." well, you'll have some pretty weird shoes to fill. [ laughter ]

the ceo of panera bread announced yesterday that he would be stepping down after deciding he can no longer in good conscience refer to macaroni and cheese in a bowl made of bread as soup. [ light laughter ] according to a new report, thousands of pet owners are attempting to teach their animals to speak by having them press buttons that play a word. and if it works, women are going to try it with boyfriends. [ laughter ] who the [ bleep ] is this guy? [ light laughter ] take your [ bleep ] hood off. you're on tv. [ light laughter ] more than two dozen people in england were trapped in a pub over the weekend due to a snowstorm. witnesses said the village received nearly half an inch of snow. [ light laughter ] "oh, yeah, i'm keen to come home, love, but we're trapped!" [ light laughter ] a play is set to open in los angeles this week with only one audience member per performance. "been there," said improvisers. [ laughter ]

i feel like that joke resonates with our writing staff maybe more than the american public at large. ben affleck and jennifer lopez have reportedly settled their divorce. but as they were signing it, the pen rolled onto the floor, they both knelt down to pick it up, and their hands touched, and now they're back together. [ laughter ] they're back together. their hands touched. they're back together. [ applause ] and finally -- yeah. and finally, a jetblue flight at boston's logan airport was delayed on monday after a passenger allegedly opened the emergency exit for unknown reasons. really? at logan airport i think the only unknown is whether the reason was whiskey or bourbon. [ laughter ] and that was the monologue, everybody. we are off or -- [ cheers and applause ] and running. got a great show for you tonight. she is a golden globe-nominated actress and best-selling author, and a pop culture icon whose currently starring in "the last showgirl," which opens in

theaters nationwide on friday. pamela anderson will be here, everybody. how about that? [ cheers and applause ] and she is a fantastic comedian and actor whose comedy special "on and on and on" is streaming now on max. rose matafeo is back on the show. [ cheers and applause ] but before we get to all that, donald trump isn't talking about lowering grocery prices anymore because he won't actually do that. so, now he's talking instead about taking over canada, greenland, and the panama canal. but don't worry, the democrats are on it. they're not on it. for more on this, it's time for "a closer look." [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> seth: by his own admission, donald trump won the election because of one thing -- inflation. that was the number one issue. grocery prices, trump talked about it ad nauseum, even claiming at one point that he started using the word groceries before anyone else. and that's true. before trump i'd say to my wife, "honey, i'm going to the appppl chicken bread coffee milk potatoe cereal store, need anything? [ laughter ] batteries?

but honey, then i have to go to the newspaper cold medicine battery magazine toothpaste deodorant greeting card store." [ laughter ] yesterday trump held a press conference at mar-a-lago -- you know, the idiot criminal ceo plastic surgeon russian spy pretending to be a waiter store. [ light laughter ] a perfect time to lay out his plan to bring down prices. americans are anxious to know how he's going to do it. let's hear it. >> we're going to be changing the name of the gulf of mexico to the gulf of america. >> seth: okay. not what we were looking for. [ light laughter ] that just sounds like a merger between gulf and bank of america. how would that -- [ laughter ] how would that even help? gas prices are high because of an oil spill in the gulf of mexico. you mean an oil spill in the gulf of america. [ laughter ] but maybe he's just doing a silly one to kick things off before he gets into the serious stuff. let's try again. here's trump's plan to lower grocery prices. >> he wants everybody to have an electric heater instead of a gas heater. gas heater is much less expensive. the heat is much better. it's a much better heat. as the expression goes, you

don't itch. >> seth: that's -- [ laughter ] -- not an expression. that's not even a good slogan for aveeno. nobody -- [ laughter ] nobody says that. sorry. as the expression goes, nobody says that. see? you can do it with anything. if a guest at your party says, "i'm super itchy, is this electric heat?" [ laughter ] that's how you know they just did a ton of cocaine. [ laughter ] let's give it another shot. plan to lower grocery prices. go! >> 625 million acres. people can't realize -- it's, like, the whole ocean. [ light laughter ] >> seth: first of all, that's not the whole ocean. that's barely the gulf of america. oh. [ laughter ] you know what? now that i say -- it does have a nice ring to it. i do like it. [ light laughter ] second, we're supposed to be talking about grocery prices. please, give us something. anything. >> we won the popular vote by millions and millions of people. nobody even knows how many people. >> seth: god dammit, if he

doesn't know how many votes he wowon by, the's no way he knows how much a carton of eggs costs. "it costs $50, $60, nobody even knows. it used to be -- [ light laughter ] it used to be 25 cents. you'd put a quarter in the machine and out would come a plastic egg with a little toy inside. [ laughter ] sometimes a tattoo. no one wanted the tattoo. we hate the tattoo." come on, man. you talk about this like every day on the campaign trail. you said this was the reason you won the election. you even brought props. tell us, how are you going to get grocery prices down? >> no water comes out because they want to preserve -- even in areas they have so much water you don't know what to do. it's called rain. it comes down from -- it comes down from heaven. >> seth: that's not rain coming down from heaven. those are god's tears. he's -- [ laughter ] he's crying because he has to watch this press conference. [ laughter ] as a general rule, if a guy who just got elected president is taking time out of his press conference to explain what rain is, that's a pretty good sign he's not going to get into the kitchen table issues. trump isn't talking about bringing down costs, because he

can't and he knows he can't and he doesn't care he can't. immediately after a campaign in which he repeatedly said he would bring down prices quickly, and that it would be easy, he told "time" magazine, "it's hard to bring things down once they're up. you know, it's very hard." [ laughter ] trump will be a terrible president. he'd be an even worse airline pilot. "ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speak -- i'm hoping we land at laguardia, but you know, it's hard to bring things down once they're up. [ laughter ] we have some choppy weather. it's called rain. it comes down from heaven, which is -- [ light laughter ] -- probably where we're headed." so trump immediately backed away from the key promise of his campaign. that's why he's trying to distract everyone by obsessing over this insane bull[ bleep ] instead. >> president-elect donald trump is amplifying his push for u.s. control of the panama canal and the danish territory of greenland. and he also talked about canada, wanting to annex it. >> can you assure the world that, as you try to get control of these areas, you are not going to use military or

economic coercion? >> no. >> can you tell us a little bit about what your plan is? are you going to negotiate a new treaty? are you going to ask the canadians toold a vote? what is the strategy? >> yeah, i can't assure you. you're talking about panama and greenland. no, i can't assure you on either of those two. we need greenland for national security purposes. canada and the united states, that would really be something. you get rid of that artificially drawn line, and you take a look at what that looks like. >> seth: wait, what? you went -- [ light laughter ] you went from saying we need strong borders to "we need to get rid of borders altogether?" what -- [ laughter ] what are you going to do a 180 on next? "i'm going to be your president but i'm going to do it from jail because let's be honest, i did do some crimes." [ laughter ] this is all insane. it will not happen. none of this will happen. but that doesn't mean it also has zero consequence. you can't just threaten to use the military to annex a bunch of foreign countries and expect everyone to say, "ah, ha-ha-ha, the jokester is at it again." trump even sent a diplomatic

emissary to greenland to scout the territory. but don't worry, it was someone who has expertise in foreign affairs and who could be trusted with such a delicate mission, and also, and i'm sure this is a coincidence, he's also named donald trump. >> donald trump jr. back from greenland just a couple hours ago. don, great to see you. did the people there that you spoke with and interacted with, did they seem interested in the idea of getting closer to the united states and maybe being liberated from denmark, who's had control of greenland for the last 200 years? >> oh, 100%. i mean, honestly i don't -- i didn't see a single negative. these are people that feel they've been exploited. they have not been treated well by denmark. they're prevented from utilizing the great natural resources that they have, whether that's coal, whether that's uranium, whether that's other rare earth minerals, whether that's gold and diamonds. >> seth: when a white man shows up talking about your gold and diamonds, what could possibly go wrong? [ laughter ] as the expression goes.

you sound like a 19th century prospector who just discovered cocaine. "there's gold, there's diamonds, there's coals, there's uranium, there's rare earth materials in those hills. i'm super itchy. is this electric heat?" [ laughter ] trump has no intention of improving the material lives of working class americans. his cabinet of billionaire oligarchs just want to loot the government, gobble up as many resources as they can. they got elected and then said, "yeah, turns out we can't do groceries so we're just gonna do an 'ocean's 11' on greenland. bye! no take backs!" that's obvious. the question now is, what are the democrats going to do about it? did they get the message from voters? here's joe biden responding just the other day to concerns about his age. >> my being the oldest president, i know more world leaders than any one of you ever met in your whole god damn life. >> seth: all right, bro. [ laughter ] damn, why is he talking to us like we're a cop who just pulled him over? [ laught ] "you're giving me a ticket? i had lunch with charles de gaulle, you little twirp. [ laughter ] you ever heard of boutros boutros-ghali? he was on my christmas card list for chrissakes." [ laughter ]

and look, i like that you're showing some fight just in time for americans to cast their votes. wait, hold on, two months ago? damn it. [ laughter ] but you're missing the point. saying you know the most world leaders proves you've been around forever. your response to the problem is just confirming what the problem was. it's like a hollywood producer saying. "we need a hot new director to shake things up" and saying, "this guy used to be roommates with bette davis." [ light laughter ] so biden's a little salty. what about the rest of the democratic party? have they learned any lessons about the depths of anger among americans towards what they perceive as a broken system that works only for the rich and not for them? >> we did a lot of good things, but all too often, kristen, we talked about the mechanics of the legislation n and the tails of the legislation, and we really didn't show the kind of empathy and concern to average -- or show enough of it -- to average working families who didn't realize how much we had done and how much we care for them. >> seth: he sounds like a mom complaining about how you never call. "hello, it's me, the person who used to feed you and bathe you

and clothe you. [ light laughter ] but maybe i could have done a better job explaining to you that i took care of you for the first 18 year of your life. oh, well, maybe one day you'll realize how much i did for you and you'll call me before i die. if not, i'll be in heaven with the rain." [ laughter ] look, it's true. biden and the democrats did get the economy back on its feet from the worst of the pandemic. and the u.s. has had the best recovery of any major economy in the world. but people are still pissed about the deeper rot in the system and the material conditions in their lives, especially compared to how well rich people are doing. >> new tonight the federal government reports that there has been a double digit jump in american homelessness compared to last year and an even bigger jump among families. >> the rich are getting richer, or at least elon musk is. in fact, bloomberg reports that musk's net worth hit $400 billion. that's the first person ever to be that wealthy. >> seth: man, it really adds insult to injury to hear that news delivered in that accent.

"the rich are getting richer. [ laughter ] and there's more good news. the poor are getting poorer." [ laughter ] i think as a general rule, if you're going to announce on television that the wealthiest people alive just got even wealthier, the news should be delivered by an angry cab driver from bayonne. [ light laughter ] and now with an update on the economy, we throw it over to tony g. "hey, oh! look at this! the rich are getting richer. no surprise here. maybe one of yous guys could use that money to do something good like buy the jets and get a real quarterback. boom!" [ laughter ] people are angry about the cost of housing and health care and what they see as a broken system, and that massive inequality is only going to get worse under trump's cabinet of oligarchs and billionaires. this should be easy for democrats. all the worst rich guys are lining up on one side, they admitted they can't bring down prices, so now they're talking about acquiring canada and greenland for gold and diamonds like bond villains. next they're going to go after -- >> the whole ocean.

[ light laughter ] >> no. i know. >> seth: "the last showgirl" is -- this is a very -- it's a wonderful story. you're wonderful in it. but this is about a showgirl -- i mean, the title has alot to do with it. but it's 30 years' run on a show that she finds out its closing. >> yes. and i think it's a movie about -- it's a story about second chances, about reinvention. there's a great mother/daughter story. and it's about all these women kind of meeting the same their lives, different times in generations of women. and the sisterhood that it takes, like, the family you create in your workspace. and it's a very touching, sentimental story. i really related to the character. there's many parallels, but also that was a jumping off point. so, it was a really fun character to create with gia. >> seth: obviously, a lot of women in the show, it's also a real sisterhood of a cast. >> yes.

stop being naughty. that was crazy. let the kids watch the -- >> seth: you should have shushed them in character. >> yeah, but the problem is i was with three other adult people. like, we're the weird ones. like, four adults at a child's film. >> seth: i know but wouldn't it be great if you could trick kids into thinking every animated film they go to, the voices are there? >> that's so true. >> seth: yeah. >> i mean, my niece has seen it. i have not heard back from her. >> seth: how long ago did she see it? >> a week ago! >> seth: what? >> she hasn't been in touch at all!
