host of the nightly show on comedy central, larry wilmore is here, and we'll hear music from frankie ballard night guillermo, cousin sal, and i will be in arlington, texas for the first-ever college football playoff national championship game between oregon and ohio state. the reason we'll be there is to honor signs like this one, fan-made fans that have clever saying like -- this "clemson wears cargos." at halftime, i'm going to present the first-ever golden sharpie award to the champion sign from the championship game. someone will be named lord of the poster board. all you have to do is make great sign, bring it to the game, add the hashtag "l-o-t-p-b'. and hold it high in the sky. if you have the best sign, as determined by me, you could go home with the golden sharpie. once more, hashtag "l-o-t-p-b." [ applause ] and we'll see you in texas. also i forgot to mention losers get punched in the stomach. on friday night, our first guest returns to work after six long weeks off and he's so worked up he might bite somebody. season 13 of "real time with bill maher" premieres on hbo friday at 10

"lord of the poster board," will it be you? probably not, but why not give it a try. our first guest is

[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: hi. how are you doing? is it okay at this point to say happy new year, in your opinion? >> i think so. i think we have a few more days. >> jimmy: what is the cutoff date for happy new year? >> like -- i don't -- i think you can go the first week back at work and only when you've seen someone for the first time, so, if see someone twice, you can't say it a second time. then you just got to feel it. >> jimmy: you thought this out. how did you spend the holiday? did you do anything special? >> yeah, my husband and i hosted our -- my family. >> jimmy: at your house? >> at our house. >> jimmy: good times. >> which was a new house. so, we were moving in and hosting at the same time. >> jimmy: at some point, did you go, why did you do this?
