[ laughter ] it's good to be back home. i was in new york until early this morning. i flew there by plane. you know, they have internet on the plane now which is nice. while i was flying i went to amazon, and i bought myself, while i was in the air, i bought myself a pilot's uniform so i don't have to wait in the security uniform. if you travel a lot, virgin atlantic announced that on a select number of flights, passengers will be able to use their cellphones to make calls, which that's eye love hearing people talk to their cellphones. it's the best. i think i would honestly rather they filled the plane with killer bees than allow this. only six passengers will be allowed to make calls at one time, which already seems like too many. but virgin said it will only be used for important calls, like calling to say, guess where i'm

calling from, yeah, the plane, i'm calling from the plane. yeah, that should be relaxing. because i was in new york, i couldn't get commentary on the new season premiere of "the bachelorette." the first episode is always my favorite because the guys show up and about half of them do something stupid to try to get attention. exhibit a is a guy names tony who made his first impression, by bringing "the bachelorette" emily a shoe. >> i'm looking for my princess. i believe in fairy tales. i believe in love, and i believe that if the shoe fits, that me and my princess will live happily ever after. so would you mind, if i tried to see if this fits. >> sure. >> all right. >> i believe in love and fabulous shoes. so you know me well. >> i think it's a perfect fit. >> i do too. i feel comfortable in the shoes. i feel comfortable around you.

every year, the social security administration puts out a list of america's most popular baby names. i don't know why they do this, but they do. they just put out the list for 2011 and apparently reality television is having a major impact on what parents name their children. the name mason, which is the name kourtney kardashian gave her son jumped ten spots to number two, just behind san iia and the fastest rising name for girls was brieella, which jumped 394 spots presumably because their a brieella on the show jersey licious. can you imagine telling your kid that's where you got her name? might as well just tell her, mommy's an idiot. don't listen to anything mommy ever says. i was talking to my sister rudy and my brother theo about this, and they agree in this is very

stupid. if i ever have twins, i'm going to name them toddler and tee yara. this is a video from youtube of baby quad rup lets. see if you recognize any of these kids. >> okay, kids, i call this family method to announce that your mom and i are changing your names. from now on, jonathan, you'll be bachelor ben. rodney, your new name is dog the bounty hunter. brad and noah, listen up guys, you two are gonna be known as jwoww and snooki.

high profile endorsement yesterday from former president george w. bush. a reporter from abc news asked who he was supporting, and as the doors to the elevator were closing, he said, i'm for mitt romney. then he tried to give a thumb's up, but it got caught in the door. then today herman cain endorsed mitt romney. but this is possibly very important because as goes herman cain, so go the other two black republicans in america. meanwhile little ron paul made an announcement on monday, saying he's dropping out of the race for president. this was h third race for president. he ran in 2008 against john mccain and against lincoln in 1860, i believe. [ laughter ] he says his campaign will go on, but he won't. he still wants to win delegates, but he won't travel or spend

money on ads trying to get them. there's a new movie about it and it looks to me like he might have a hit on his hands. >> announcer: ron paul is a little candidate with a very big problem. mr. paul, can i come in? >> he's dead. >> got an idea. >> announcer: but with a little ingenuity, he just might make it. >> gentlemen, i want you to take your seats. now we'll have each of the candidates introduce themselves. congressman paul, we'll start with you. congressman ron paul from texas. i'm the defender of the constitution and the champion of liberty. >> announcer: all the way to the white house. weekend at ronnie's!

let's see what that would look like f they were together. ♪ >> jimmy: suck it, wiggels. best thing about that ever. i'm sure by now you've seen the cover of "newsweek," which names president obama the first gay president. well, i think chester a. arthur might have a few things to say about that. what if his daughter picks this up, daddy, why are you a gay president? it's referring to his opinion now to gay marriage. some people aren't happy about that. yesterday they asked a church-goer if obama's position on it will affect the way he votes this year. i think he gave an interesting answer. >> many christians say they

cannot support the president because of his position on gay marriage, but others say it won't make a difference. >> ain't no sense to blame him, he ain't gay. he got a wife and children. i ain't gay either. [ cheers and applause ] has there ever been a coherent interview done from a gas station parking lot? with all the talk about the president's and same-sex marriage, we thought it would be a good time to play pedestrian question. our reporter will ask a question and then we'll guess what we think the answer will be. tonight's question is, have you ever had a gay experience? are you ready? i think this will be a learning experience for all of us. >> have you ever had a gay experience? >> jimmy: a lot of yeses.

more yeses than noes. let's see what janice said. >> whoa, no, dear. >> jimmy: that was a no. who else do we have? >> i'm tony from the uk. >> have you ever had a gay experience? >> jimmy: see, now this is interesting. is it the vest? let's see what he has to say. >> huh, it was in college. does it still count?

i was in the showbiz the next day. that's why i have everything i have now, thanks to johnny carson. so in november i was there, and i was invited back in february to do another set. i wanted to thank johnny for the opportunity because it was really, you can't believe the doors that opened for me because of that one appearance. you're friendly with the guest, you get to talk to people. but johnny was kind of a loop and you couldn't talk to him except on stage. if you wanted to talk to him, they had a velvet rope and he would stand on one side. >> jimmy: wow. >> but it was actually there. i come out, do my set. then they have another guest on, it's regis fill bin. he had already announced he was going to retire. and he was saying, how he would be a great guy to take over the show. johnny brushed him off first.

>> no. >> jimmy: there's an interesting system that you have up there. >> there's two big teams in spain, real madrid and barcelona. every four years, you can become a member of barcelona for 200 euros a year. in real madrid, they have a membership system, but there's a waiting list. so they're super popular. so if you and i wanted to buy real madrid, you'd have to put up a 15% bond, to put in the bank. we'd have to come up with convict, $85 million. >> jimmy: oh, no problem. >> yeah. put it in the bank, then you run a campaign like you're running for governor. and the fans will vote an outsider in to run the team if they think he's going to do a better job. >> jimmy: wow. >> what we came up with in seattle is, we picked the general manager for the team, and every four years, we let our season ticket holders vote out the general manager if they don't like the job he's doing.

>> jimmy: what sort of songs would you sing? >> we would do songs like -- we have have new lyrics to songs that were already popular, but they would be about jesus. >> jimmy: do you remember any of the specifics? >> no, i don't. but i do remember, we learned bridge over troubled water. and bridge over troubled water was sung from the point of view as jesus being your bridge over troubled water. >> jimmy: oh, wow, very clever. was there any money money or anything weird there for you? >> no. that would be good, though. >> jimmy: hey, it's not too late to get the group back together. jee jesus is still very popular. >> he's very popular. >> jimmy: well, we're going to hear you sing something from the album. what are you going to sing? >> i'm going to sing come see about me. >> jimmy: that a favorite of yours?

>> yeah. the album is auld am/fm because when i grew up, we just had am radio. i would hear am radio and that was about innocence and love and romance. then when i got control of the dial and i had my own car which i bought used, a datz un roadster. it was silver, but i painted it red for 19.99 when i got control of the dial, fm radio was in the mix, singer-songwriters, and love was about the heart-break. so the songs are kind of a mix of those. >> jimmy: songs by people on heroin at the time. >> correct. >> jimmy: we're going to hear it when we come right back.
