jimmy i'm talking about. >> jimmy: of course. how are you? western world, what could go wrong? >> jimmy: first of all, i'm a big fan, for a long time. but i know you don't do a lot of talk shows. i appreciate you coming on. i saw you with larry king earlier this year. >> yes. i felt like the hand in the fox house on that one. >> jimmy: you were there to talk about ufos. >> well, the reason i was asked to go on there is because stephen hawking actually referenced a ufo sighting from 1952 in washington, d.c., he said ufo, washington, d.c., mentioned the lights that were photographed there. and so they called me because i'm the mutual ufo network, a group of scientists that study this in a real scientific way. they treat it as if it is reality. and so -- the other sicientists that were there with me were not believers so i kind of had to hold my own against really smart physicists -- >> jimmy: does it help them to have a comedian as one of their spokesmen? >> well, let me put it this way. it keeps it in the realm of entertainment. that's where w

[ laughter ] i tell you what, eight presents per kid is a lot to come up with. i have trouble coming up with two good things for my kids. if i was locked into an eight-present deal, there would be a lot of batteries and notes that say, "isn't us being together enough of a gift?" [ laughter ] the white house christmas tree is lit. it took four and a half days to set it up. you know how much twine it takes to strap a pine tree to the hood of air force one? a lot. someone at the white house shot time lapse video of the tree being brought in and decorated. well, look at this. ♪ >> jimmy: oh, bo, the white house dog, what will you pee on next? i think that was a wikileak, by the way.
