[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: unless you've been living under a rk you know "star wars" comes out everywhere on friday although they've been running a big ad campaign under rocks. so even those people who live under them know about it. "star wars" is everywhere. they're predicting the film could gross more than $2 billion. to put that in perspective, the united states just promised $800 million as part of the paris agreement to fight climate change. which means we're spending more than twice as much to see "star wars," as we are to save the actual world. fans have been camped outside for weeks. to see the first screening of the film. they're saying it could be the biggest and worst-smelling

imagine 300 "star wars" fafans who haven't bathed in days crammed into windowless theater. this is why darth vadeder breath through a filter. he'sot colonge in there. between black friday and "star wars" we could set the record for momost amerins to sleep on the sidewalk over a three-week period ever this year. the product tie-ins are unprecedented. for instance, these are "star wars" apples. i don't know what makes them "star wars" apples other than they have "star wars" on the bag. but they are. these are "star wars" these are "star wars" cheez-its. this is "star wars" soup. this iwhat darth vader would make when he had luke for the weekend. this is "star wars" gogurt. it glows in e dark? does this glow in the dark? it would make for a terrifying visit to the bathroom in the middle of the night. they even have "star wars"

of coffee mate. it's like "star wars" meets starbucks. what is with -- it's crazy. does anyone even eat in the "star wars" movies? in six movies, i think yoda once ate a beef stick and jaba the hut t a ate a fro that's about it. "star wars" apples. kids really are dumb, that's the message there. sorry, i didn't realize there were kids in the audience. one of the stars of "the force awakens," his face was on go gurt, the great actor oscar isaac is with us. [ cheers and applause ] the most famous ballerina in all the land, misty copeland is here with us. [ cheers and applause ] from jeff lynne's elo. on wednesday night, dononald trump is going to be here. today donald trump as promised released a statement from his doctor about hisealth. he told us that his medical records would show "perfection." and what do you know. they did. this is the statement that was

bornstein. to whom it may concern, i have been the personal physician for donald trump, blah, blah, blah. please report he has no significant mental problems. he said trump's "physical strength and stamina" are extraordinary. and his blood pressure is "astonishingly excellent." and he finishes by saying, if elected mr. trump i could state unequivocally, mr. trump will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency. how can he say that? hahe examined all the other presidents? this is like a medical evaluation of kim jong-un. trump's health is better than everyone else's. you know, in iowa donald trump is now -- now trails ted cruz by 10 points. but he still leads in the new national poll. these two, ted cruz and donald trump, have been going back and forth. ted cruz has so far been careful not to say anything about donald trump. but some audio was released last week of cruz questioning trump's judgment at a private fund

"fox news sunday" he said ted cruz acts like a little bit of a maniac. if that isn't the pot calling the kettle black and then demanding to see his birth certificate, i don't know what is. trump was on a lot of the shows this weekend. he sat down with chris wallace, he defend his plan to ban muslims from entering the country and cleared some things up. >> you say this is going to be temporary until we figure out in your words, quote, what the hell is going on? >> it's temporary. they've got to help us -- >> you call our leaders in washington losers. >> i didn't say losers, i said >> okay. >> okay? >> jimmy: glad he cleared that up. diplomacy is about nuance, really. today was the busiest day of the year for the u.s. postal service. remember them? today's the day you walk in the post office and they go, well, well, well. look who's back. oh, you need priority mail? we'll get right on that. the post office is expecected to

mail today alone. they ship an estimated 15.5 billion pieces of mail over the holidays. mail men work very hard this time of year delivering cards and catalogs. 99% of which we throw out immediately. when you think about it, being a mailman is like being a garbage man, except instead of taking the trash away, you're bringing it to the houses. one truck really should just follow the other. delivering mail over the holidays is hard enough. this i is what aailman in cape cod had to deal with. wild turkeys following him around his rte. what is there, like five? >> every day. every day. >> jimmy: things have gotten so bad, he had to go out and purchase a turkey sck to protect himself. it's like a thanksgiving nightmare, it really is. they do seem eager to help. maybe you should put them to work, get them little uniforms. have fun with it. it's time for what has become an annual tradition for us. each year you see thousands of

i'm going to do a quick summary. correct me if i get anything wrong. you started out -- you're not an upper or middle-class kid, you were disadvantaged, you did not start dancing until you were 13 yeyears old ich a apparently is very late for ballet. you started dancing and you won awards and scholarships. now you've become the principal dancer at the american ballet theater. which is a big, big deal.

performance fothem. my hope is that they don't fall and d hurt theelves. okay, i don't think we're going to get any farther with that stuff. >> i think we're ready to dance. >> guillermo: i think i'm ready for dier. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: so we finished with a big dance number. and i have to tell you, when we did dance and all of a sudden it nervous, i was nervous i was going to trample one of the dancers. does that happen? are there accidents? i know there are injuries. are there collisioions and whatnot? >> yeah, i mean, that's the amazing thing about live theater. is that you're going to get whatatever is ppening in the moment. and whatever the audience is feeding you, you're going to react to that as well. but yes. >> jimmy: you've seen it happe >> i've been a part of it many times and i've seen it happen. i think it's one of my favorite things about live theater is seeing those things happen.

particular that stands out to you? >> yes. there was one moment in the ballet, human n variatio, a george ballanchine, made for american ballet theater, you would know. >> jimmy: you don't have to tell me, yes. >> i was with another soloist couple, , we were ing these turns towards each other, me and another girl. we were dipped by our partners and our tiaras got stuck together. we literally had to be pulled apart. we were center stage. and the principal couple was coming forward. we were like, oh my god, oh my god! >> jimmy: like elk f fhting in the woods, wow. that's pretty crazy. and does the audience laugh? or do people get angry? >> i don't know if they realized what was going on. you try your best to make it look graceful and li it's supposed to be happening. you just keep a smile on your face. >> jimmy: are you graceful in everything? brushing your teeth? is it just a beautiful thing?

i'm very clumsy i would say. >> jimmy: you are very clumsy, really? >> yeah. >> jimmy: are you very flexie, though, yes? >> yeah, that too. maybe that's why i'm so clumsy. >> jimmy: is that natural? or is that something -- is it a too? >> it's a combinination. i think that's why ballet was so easy for me is that my bodody was very loose and flexible. and i think i must have been about 7 years old when i realized how flexible i was. i remember i woke up -- i'd never danced before. i had no training. i woke up one morning stretching my arms. and they went all the way over. i was holding my hands. i remember thinking, what just happened? i woke my mom up, look what i can do, look what i can do? she's like, that's weird. then that was that. >> jimmy: this is like how spider-man got startrted. >> years later i think being a swan in "swan lake," having flexible shoulders helps. >> jimmy: can you still do that thing? >> i've never done it before --

>> jimmy: you can, okay. will you do it? [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: wow. that's good. [ chee and applause ] >> jimmy: who knew that would come in handy? do you feel like you would be great at any kind of dancing? like were you involved in ballroom dancing or some other kind? >> i was always really drawn to music and movement. i dodon't knowf i would have been this natural at every time -- type of movement. but i think that athletics just run in my family. like we're all pretty natural with movement and athletics. like my cavs, all of the copelands have them. we call them the copeland >> jimmy: thank goodness for the copeland calves. you're doing a limited run performance here in san pedro, in that area in orange county? >> american ballet theater, yes. >> jimmy: the documentary is
