thanks. you know we have weird morning here. althe schools in los angeles were closed totoday becae meone -- they haven't figured out who yet -- sent the scschool system a threatening e-mail. they got a similar note in new york. they decided it was a hoax, the schools stayed open. here in l.a. we have so many implants we don't know the difference between real and fake anymore. more than 700,000 students were told not to come to school today which meant lot of our staff members had to bring their kids into the office. so since they were here we decided to put them to work. i actually had one of them write a joke for the monologue. and let's see what he came up with here. let's see. "star wars" is opening on friday. and cows are really excited because they love to go to the moo-vies. [ cheers and applause ] cows don't go to the movies.

all. this is a terrible joke. you come into my office and you give me a joke like this? what's wrong with you? i mean, you know, you know that house you live in? the ason that your parents are able to pay the rent is because your father works on this show. and now i get a joke like this -- you're fired. get out of here. take this joke with you. yeah, no, no, you can't -- you have to -- you can't -- you can't coddle them. we're going to need the headset, too. yeah. go on and -- yeah, go play by the snack table. [ applause ] it hasas a saddeending than i anticipated.

riright? right, guillermo? >> right, jimmy. >> jimmy: you know, this time of year students in illinois, they participate in something called dial a carol. something they came up with i 60. people call them and request a song and then the students sing the song for them live. so they open the lines at midnight on thursday. so far they've received more than 11,000 calls which is incredible. they final figured out a way to make music come out of your phonone. but it's popular. it's so popular, in fact, this style of carol that the idea is spreading to other religioions. >> if you like dial a carol you'll love han-a-call. we're standing by to sing all of your favorite hanukkah songs. >> what tune would you like to hear tododay?

sure thing. dradel dradel dradel and when it's dry and ready oh dreidel i will play >> we know every hanukkah song in the book. and we're ready to sing it for wow. >> you want to hear the dradel song? okay. >> 24 hours a day, eight nights of hanukkah. >> let me guess, the [ bleep ] dradel song! i made it out of clay >> what are you waiting for? i made it out of clay >> gary, are you going the hanukkah thing again? we talked about this. you're fired. >> jimmy: that's it. really, really bad news, that kid i fired, that's his father.

[ laughter ] the debate starring donald trump and friends, it took place at the venetian hotel in las vegas, moderated by celine dion. this is the fifth debate between ththe republican candidates and

that question is, who the hell is this man? i think he's my dad's friend from work. but i could be wrong. all the big names were there. trump, cruz, carson, chris christie got moved up from what ey call the kids' table to the main debate. apparently he ate everything on the kids' table so they had to move him. the reason chris christie is picking up steam, he points out the other candidates want to build walls or beef up border patrols. he's the only candidate with an actual experience in stopping people from getting where they want to go. he stopped thousands of people in new jersey from crossing the bridge into new york. he can do that with mexico, too, folks. [ laughter ] by the way, donald trump was center stage. trump now holds a very big lead in theational polls. trp leads ted cruz by 27 points in the new monmouth poll

i don't know if i trust these polls. basically donald trump is leading among people who still answer their landline at their house. you know? donald trump is going to be with us tomorrorow night. and he will bebe here intudio. he says a lot of interesting stuff,o we decided to have fun with that. to prepareor his visit we went on the street and asked people if they had heard about a bunch of things that we made up in this donald trump edition of "lie witness news." >> i'm sure you saw that rally in ohio where donald trump wore the diaper and swung the baby bottle around, i'm a democrat, someone change my dipy. did that help or hurt his legitimacy? >> it hurt. >> where did tu see it? >> i probably heard about it. >> were you sururprised when you heard donald trump say guns don't kill people, marco rubio's

>> coming from donald trump, notot all. >> where did you hear about that? >> always the news and/or the internet. >> we're talking to people about donald trump. some of his comments about muslims have some people comparing them with hitler. hitler's been trying to distance himself from donald trump. this morning hitler tweeted, trump cakiss my wiener schnitzel. what did you think? >> i thought it was pretty funny. >> did you see that? >> i saw it on twitter. >> people have been talking about it? >> yes, it was all over my twitter. >> people are laughing s saying they're glad donald trump is disquaualified from the presidency. >> by hitler? >> by hitler. >> what did you think of donald trump's statement, if it's brown, flush it down to mexico? >> i thought -- >> flush all that brown down to mexico. >> whoa, did he really just say that? >> i agree with him. it's true, yeah. it's true. >> i stillll thoughtoh, my god, did yoyou reallyay that? >> where were you when you saw him say that? >> i was at home. on television. i was like, oh, my god, did he really just say that. >> do me a favor, guys, look in the camera and tell donald trump what you want to tell him?

right? that would be the end of this. but it wasn't becaususe last yr they wrapped my car. and i knew it was him when i saw it. they filled it with glass ornames. and this, by the way, yeah, they all came out. is -- this didn't happen only once. the next night i went out to the car again and it was wrapped again. and then there were people in the car this time. christmas carollers popped out and sang. and then when his wife emily w was a guest here on the show, john surpriseme with this. now, this is -- that's john in front of my car that he banged

>> first of all, i think it's more like a little surprise than a prank. it wasn't at that level. but halloween eve we're in philadelphia. there's a haunted penitentiary where al capone was once jailed. they have a halloween month long thing. it's scary. you are grabbed by goblins and you navigate through it. kirk said he was going to be there but bagged out athe last minute and went to something even scarier, 76ers game and sat courtside. we thought we would bring the show to him in the booth on halloween night. >> i'm not a fan. >> jimmy: is that the way it went? >> no, i said i wasn't going. there's no chance i'm going. >> jimmy: and then they wound up bringing a zombie on camera. >> looked like notre dame was just going to -- >> oh, god. >> come on back in here, kirk.
