jurnee smollett.usical guest orville peck and shania twain and featuring the legendary roots crew and now here's your host, jimmy fallon ♪ >> jimmy: oh, hey! thank you very much, everybody welcome. thank you so much. welcome, everybody thank you so much. my name is jimmy fallon. welcome to "the tonight show." let's get to the news and jokes, please. well guys, tonight was the first night of the democratic national convention. it was pretty different from what we've seen in the past. >> an unprecedented democratic national convention will begin at what will be an almost entirely virtual event the party will officially nominate joe biden and kamala harris to lead the presidential ticket. >> jimmy: yeah, it was the first night of the virtual democratic national convention because nothing quite fires up americans like long speeches over zoom. [ laughter ] that's right both the democratic and republican national conventions will be held without crowds, which is a bummer because the best part of these thing

jussie smollett's story was entirely concocted. harris knows it. we all know it. she doesn't care.arris understands privately well why jussie smollett lied, by smearing trump supporters as bigots, he hoped to advance his career. kamala harris of all people can respect it. richard goodstein served as advisor to the clintons. he is watching all of this very carefully. he joins us tonight. richard, i always preface my questions to you by saying don't want to be mean. how can someone who said she believed joe biden committed sexual assault against various women serve as his running mate? sincere question. >> tucker, can i say one quick thing. this is something that will serve you and your fellow hosts on fox. her name is pronounced comma, like the punctuation mark. i've heard every -- that's how it is. kamala. out of respect for somebody who's going to be on the national ticket, pronouncing her name right. it's kind of a bare minimum. >> tucker: so i'm disrespecting her by mispronouncing her name unintentionally. so it begins. you're not allowed to criticize kamala harris or kamala har

she was the ringleader of the kavanaugh situation, she had a role to play in the jussie smollett raceoax that was so damaging in chicago. she's got really difficult positions that will come up, and i'm sure the trump campaign is happy to talk about each and every one of them. >> laura: ari, before we wrap here, only 59% -- in one of the recent polls -- said that biden would last, 15% said -- would finish his first term, only 15% would finish his first term in office, and he seems to almost a telegraph in some of these offhand comments. so this is really -- we should treat her, then, since they are treating her -- as a presidential candidate, almost. given the fact he is not doing any real interviews. >> yeah, look, if joe biden wins he will be older on his first day then ronald reagan was on his last day. if joe biden wins, he'll be 82 when he would be serving a second term, so let's forget a second term, that's not even in the cards if he gets a first term. so the question is, how healthy is he? and he's really not answering the question, not releasing the medical information the way

jussie smollett's attorney blasting a report claiming cooke county's state's attorney mishandled his case. mark calling it a blatant attempt to take down foxx. adding his client is quote being used as a pawn. the report says foxx and her team abused discretion and made several misleading comments about smollett's case. there isn't enough evidence to bring charges. how about this? tiger woods' son following in his footsteps by dominating on the golf course. 11-year-old charlie woods winning a tournament in florida with tiger as his caddy. 3 under par. 5 shots ahead of the pack. charlie made waves after he was spotted at a driving range with his dad. how cooking is that? brian: that's unfair having your dad be your caddie and being the best player ever. ainsley: they say his dad is responsible for his success and now tiger might be responsible for his son. steve: another generation. jillian, thank you very much. exactly 6:20 in new york city. coming up the first person to plead guilty to n. john durham's probably set to appear in court tomorrow. the judge of the case also presides over

you guys heard of jussie smollett? you don't want talking about, right --you know what i'm talking about, right? a couple years i was thrown off instagram because you remember the story, he is an actor who lives in downtown chicago and he claimed that a couple of white supremacists in maga hats ambushed him in chicago, poured a bucket of bleach over his head and a shoelace noose, it was like the holy grail of leftist cancellation stories, were they destroyed the life of a 16-year-old kid for being conservative, for being southern, for being religious and for being a trump supporter. let's kill this kid, it is awesome. but jussie did this and he got on every tv show, it is so terrible. did you actually listen to the story? i don't know about you, i read the stats in chicago and i have a feeling that if you're wearing a maga hat in downtown chicago, you may be really for gun control because you're going to be shot in about two seconds. they also don't like to make those distinctions. minor details. never let the truth ge
