00:00 Thank you so much.
00:01 It's great, great to be hosting the finale of season 49.
00:06 [cheers and applause]
00:09 I mean, when you think of historic television seasons,
00:13 the first number that pops into your head is 49.
00:16 [laughter]
00:17 I mean, sure, you know, one more episode,
00:19 and I would have been hosting the premiere
00:21 of the 50th season, but who cares, you know?
00:25 40 is a great number.
00:26 I mean, seven times seven, classic, you know?
00:29 Oh, and 49 is like 69, but easier.
00:34 [laughter]
00:36 Also, 49 is the number of times
00:39 Conor McGregor accidentally punched me during "Roadhouse."
00:42 [laughter]
00:43 Um... [laughs]
00:47 People ask me what it's like to work with Conor,
00:49 and I always say, "Oh, so great,"
00:51 because I'm scared he's nearby.
00:53 [laughter]
