00:00All right, John Cena, Drew Ski, and music from Sylvana Estrada with the Cletons.
00:08And now, Jimmy Kimmel.
00:12I'm Jimmy. I'm the host. Thanks for watching.
00:31Thank you for joining us here in Hollywood, where it's...
00:36What is it now? Oh, we're a boy.
00:38We're three weeks from Christmas, and the end-of-the-year lists have begun to emerge.
00:44This morning, you get that annual Spotify rap list on your phone of what we've been listening to this year.
00:50Did you get this thing? It's always interesting.
00:52You get a little taste of how secretly old or gay you are.
00:55In my case...
00:57The fourth year, the most played artist on Spotify in the world is Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny.
01:03You know the guy Trump said he's never heard of?
01:05Bad Bunny's number one.
01:07I guess somebody's heard of him. You listen to Bad Bunny, yeah?
01:10Yeah, Jimmy, yeah. I like his music.
01:11Is there a group, like a fan club, the Bad Bunnies or the Little Rabbits?
01:15Yeah, he has a lot of fans, a lot of ladies that love him.
01:18Yes, that's right. All right. That's what you have in common with Bad Bunny.
01:22Yeah, exactly.
01:24So Spotify did something new this year. They give you your listening age.
01:29They guess how old you are based on the music you like.
01:32Mine is so old, they didn't even give me a listening age.
01:35They just sent me a bottle of fiber gummies in the mail.
01:38This Spotify, they really have it figured out. They spy on you, all yours, what they do.
01:43And then December comes around. They're like, we've been watching you.
01:46And we're like, awesome. What'd you find out?
01:48I don't know why other companies don't do this. Like, imagine getting this from Pornhub, you know?
01:55You violated yourself for 6,322 minutes this year, up 5% from 2024.
02:05Your favorite genres are Stepmothers and Dragon Ball Z.
02:10I wonder what the president's top song was this year.
02:13I mean, it had to be a tight race between Phantom of the Opera and YMCA, right?
02:17I mentioned last night. Yesterday, Sleepy Donzalez took a little siesta during his noontime cabinet meeting.
02:24This war started. It never would have happened if you'd been president.
02:27But this war is going on, and the president is trying to end it.
02:30Would you please lower your voice, Marco? You're going to wake him up.
02:34He had his eyes closed for a lot of the meeting. I mean, that was just a fraction, a ton of the meeting,
02:39which, of course, is his MO. Whatever he is, he accuses everyone else of being.
02:43Crooked Hillary, Sleepy Joe. But the fact is, we all watched him dozing off repeatedly on television,
02:50which meant the Don Trump admiration and ball-gobbling society was forced to go into overdrive today to defend him.
02:58If you sleep three hours or four hours a night, you're probably going to close your eyes, whether you're 79 or 49.
03:04If this president closes his eyes for a moment, it's like, what's wrong with him? I mean, it is so laughable, Stuart.
03:11They just won't quit, Martha, will they? Just what?
03:13I mean, it is laughable.
03:15I mean, who wouldn't doze off on one of these things? Three hours after working a 50-hour week, I imagine.
03:20I believe the man doesn't sleep either. All right. Well, except for maybe for a quick 10-minute interval.
03:24Thomas Edison believed in the 10-minute nap, by the way. What would they say? We wouldn't have electricity, right?
03:29Right. It's such a good point. Is that what you liberals want? No electricity? Because we will give that to you.
03:37This is fake snooze. I don't know. I don't know that much about Thomas Edison, but I have a feeling he took his naps when the cameras were off.
03:46Biden did manage to get in, well, what might be a short nap, or maybe I should just say nodding off,
03:52or maybe just resting his tired old eyes for about, oh, 12 seconds, and then struggling to keep his eyes open,
03:59staring off into the distance, again, befuddled, bewildered, dazed, and confused.
04:04And where is Joe Biden right now? Where is their focus?
04:07Not only is he at an international climate change conference, but he's falling asleep there.
04:13I'm looking at Donald Trump in these meetings in the Middle East, and then I look at the clips of President Biden
04:18literally falling asleep in the middle of an international meeting.
04:22Creaky, creepy, sleepy Joe Biden. Try to say that fast.
04:25Sleepy Joe. With the sunglasses on so you can't tell that he's nodded off.
04:29Joe Biden's superpower is sleeping.
04:31All Joe Biden does is eat and sleep. Basically the same schedule as my newborn.
04:35Is Joe Biden sleeping in a crib or a crypt?
04:37We are past his beddy time. Joe had his warm milky from his favorite sippy cup.
04:42You have Joe Biden who's sleeping on a beach every single day.
04:45Joe Biden who's sleeping at the beach. Look at him there.
04:48You will never see a picture like that of Donald Trump.
04:50Who wants to sleep in public? He's sleeping.
04:54Wait a minute. It's almost like these people are hypocrites.
04:59No one's losing more sleep this week than our Secretary of War Crimes, Pete Hegseth.
05:13According to a watchdog report from the Pentagon Office of the Inspector General, Hegseth violated regulations when he texted war plans to a signal group chat that included a reporter from the Atlantic.
05:25Yeah, no kidding, Ivan. That, though, is the least of his problems.
05:29His big one is what they're calling a double tap strike on a supposed Venezuelan drug boat.
05:35The U.S. military attacked this boat and then blew up the survivors in a second attack.
05:41A news report said Hegseth's order going in was to kill everybody, which, according to his former co-worker and former Superior Court judge, is a war crime.
05:51It gives me no pleasure to say what I'm about to say because I worked with Pete Hegseth for seven or eight years at Fox News.
05:59This is an act of a war crime ordering survivors who the law requires be rescued instead to be murdered.
06:09Everybody along the line who did it, from the Secretary of Defense to the Admiral to the people who actually pulled the trigger, should be prosecuted for a war crime for killing these two people.
06:19I agree with Frankie Valli in a hairnet.
06:22Do you know how badly a member of Trump's inner circle has to screw up to get criticized on Newsmax?
06:29I mean, if Pete Hegseth had run that guy's foot over, he would have said, it's okay, I got another one.
06:34Now he's saying, lock him up. This is a war crime.
06:37And then there was even more damning statement from another prominent member of the Trump cult from back in 2016.
06:44And that member is Pete Hegseth himself.
06:47And I do think there have to be consequences for abject war crimes.
06:51Uh, if you're doing something that is just completely unlawful and, uh, and, and ruthless, then there is a consequence for that.
06:58That's why the military said it won't follow unlawful orders, uh, from their commander in chief.
07:03Wow. The same guy who's threatening the court-martial Senator Mark Kelly for making a video saying troops don't have to follow unlawful orders is on video saying troops don't have to follow unlawful orders.
07:15And there should be consequences for war crimes.
07:18Why can't that guy be Secretary of Defense?
07:21He clearly knows what he's talking about.
07:23Maybe when they fire Pete Hegseth 2025, they'll replace him with Pete Hegseth 2016.
07:28The good news is the economy is doing great.
07:31Oh, wait, it is not doing great.
07:33Bankruptcies of mom and pop small businesses have hit an all-time high.
07:38That's the bad news.
07:39The good news is the Trump family business booming.
07:42If these, if mom and pop companies, if they want to make money, maybe they should run for president.
07:47Think about that.
07:48The tariffs are exacting a major toll on the economy, no matter what Trump says.
07:52But one big company, maybe the best company of all, is fighting back.
07:56Costco is suing the Trump administration over the tariffs in the event that...
08:01It's interesting because the Supreme Court may very well rule that Trump was not allowed to use the Emergency Economic Powers Act because there was no economic emergency to enact these tariffs.
08:14And Costco says, well, if that happens, we want the dollars we spent back, which would put Trump in a terrible bind.
08:20He'd either have to disregard a ruling from the Supreme Court, which would create a constitutional crisis that would likely destroy his presidency.
08:29Or, even more devastating for him personally, he'd have to give someone their money back.
08:34I didn't think it was possible for me to love you more, Costco. Thank you.
08:38If I was Trump, I gotta say, the last company...
08:43I wouldn't want to piss off Costco. It's the only store that sells Depends in bulk.
08:47He's such a scoundrel.
08:48Yesterday, they announced a plan to withhold SNAP benefits for Americans who live in blue states.
08:55The average SNAP benefit is $6 a day.
08:58That's less than Trump spends on honey mustard.
09:01That keeps people alive.
09:02Every day, they come up with a new way to be cruel to the poor.
09:06Do you think they brainstorm?
09:08Like, do Stephen Miller and his goons get in a conference room?
09:11They're like, okay, guys, what do we got for tomorrow?
09:13It's getting cold. Should we take away their coats?
09:15I guess those golden ballrooms don't build themselves, though.
09:19This is unbelievable, too.
09:20This is retired Staff Sergeant Samuel Chastain.
09:23He was a Marine for 20 years.
09:25He did two deployments in Afghanistan with his wife, who's from Thailand.
09:29A couple weeks ago, she showed up for her final interview to become a U.S. citizen.
09:33She filed all the paperwork, she did everything right, she went for the interview.
09:37As she's in there, in the interview, ICE comes in, handcuffs her, and takes her away because they claim she overstayed her visa.
09:45But thank you for your service, Sergeant Chastain, and Merry Christmas to you both.
09:50Meanwhile, Melania's like, hey, while you're deporting wives who weren't born here, I'd like to go.
09:58All right, I want to get back to the Spotify list because the Spotify list were the talk of our office today.
10:07So much so that we made a game out of it.
10:09Bring everybody in, will you? Let's get everybody in here.
10:12All right, there they are now.
10:21So we asked five members of our staff, that's Guillermo, Maddie, Jessie, Lou, and Joelle, to share their top five songs of the year.
10:30And let's put those songs up on the wall, okay?
10:33Now, I don't know whose list is whose, but my job is to try to figure out who goes with which list.
10:41Now, I know each of these people either very well or fairly well.
10:46And I'm going to start with Guillermo, who I know very well.
10:49All right, top songs, first one, okay, uh-huh, uh-huh, all right.
10:54Oh, D.R.A., Grand Theft, oh, Bad Tretty Swimps, okay.
10:59The title theme from Super Piano 64.
11:03Share the top, okay, well, okay, Guillermo, I'm going to put you, come over here, I'm putting you at number four.
11:10All right.
11:11Four.
11:12That's because there's some Spinosaur.
11:14Yeah.
11:15All right.
11:18And then we got Pink Pony, okay, Gracie Abrams, all right.
11:22Now, all right, I'm going to skip to Jesse.
11:24Now, Jesse's hobbies or his interests, I guess, are wearing cargo shorts, which he's not wearing today, and taxidermy, correct, Jesse?
11:32Correct.
11:33Yep.
11:34All right, Jesse doesn't like music either, doesn't like live music, right?
11:38I can't, I don't, I don't understand why people go.
11:41Did you just shift over?
11:42Yeah, I did.
11:43Let me move one more.
11:45Well, you know what?
11:47You're number four.
11:48All right, so you've got to be here.
11:50All right.
11:51It's because I look more skinny over there.
11:54But it's okay.
11:56My right side.
11:57Hold on, let me see.
11:58Yeah, you see?
12:00Maybe just stand like this.
12:02All right.
12:03Okay.
12:04All right.
12:05All right.
12:06Help me out here, Guillermo.
12:07All right.
12:08I'm going to put Jesse in front of number three.
12:10Jesse, come stand in front of number three next to Guillermo.
12:13This could be Lou, too.
12:15Lou's also weird.
12:16Lou likes Dungeons and Dragons.
12:18He makes his own wine.
12:20Cher.
12:21Who the heck is listening to Cher as their number one?
12:24Oh, that's you, Guillermo.
12:25Sorry.
12:26That's me.
12:27Yeah, yeah, yeah.
12:28Yeah.
12:29All right.
12:30Joelle, I'm going to put you at number five, okay?
12:33You come over here, Joelle.
12:35I don't know if this is interesting to anyone, including me.
12:39All right.
12:40So, Joelle, you're there.
12:42Now, Maddie, you're number one.
12:45And Lou, I'm putting you at number two.
12:49Okay.
12:50We all on our spots.
12:52We're all lined up.
12:54And now, let's see.
12:56Let's go through them and see what I did.
12:59Oh!
13:00All right.
13:01Number two and number three.
13:03Oh, wait.
13:04And yours is wrong, too.
13:05Okay.
13:06All right.
13:07Here we go.
13:08Let me put you over...
13:10Oh, now I'm confused.
13:13Who's listening to this crazy lullaby music?
13:16All right.
13:17I'm going to put you over...
13:19No.
13:20I'm going to put Lou, because he does some weird .
13:24All the time.
13:26You mean all the time.
13:27Lou has a car that looks like the Joker.
13:29Yeah, I do.
13:30Now, you have got to be at the end here.
13:33All right.
13:34Chris Stapleton.
13:35That one was right.
13:36Oh.
13:37Well, that's a bad thing, then.
13:38Thank you, guys.
13:39Yeah.
13:40Oh, you're saying, so since it's right, I should leave him in front of you?
13:45Okay.
13:46Yeah.
13:47All right.
13:48Now I'm all confused.
13:49This is a terrible idea, Joelle.
13:50Why would you make me...
13:51This is Josh's idea.
13:52This is not Josh's idea.
13:53Um, okay.
13:54Let's see.
13:55All right.
13:56Now, where were you, Joelle?
13:57I had you in front of...
13:58I was at the end.
13:59Oh.
14:00You were at the end.
14:01And that's not you over there.
14:02Okay.
14:03That's Maddie over there.
14:04What am I talking about?
14:05Maddie.
14:06No.
14:07Maddie is right.
14:08Oh.
14:09Oh.
14:10Okay.
14:11You want me to help?
14:12Oh, the audience has turned on me.
14:15Jesse, are you listening to this crazy...
14:18All right, Lou, I'm putting you over here.
14:20Yeah.
14:21All right.
14:22All right.
14:23All right.
14:24All right.
14:25Now you're patronizing me.
14:28All right.
14:30I'm gonna put Jesse in this weird music here.
14:33What do you mean, no?
14:35What have I done?
14:36Yeah.
14:37Oh, my God.
14:38What?
14:39Molly, come help me real quick.
14:42This is embarrassing now.
14:43I'm...
14:44All right, everybody go back to work.
14:45He's really good at a lot of other things.
14:46Okay.
14:47Okay?
14:48Um, Jesse was already there and it gave you an X.
14:50Oh.
14:51So that was wrong then?
14:52Right.
14:53So...
14:54Is this on television?
14:55You go here.
14:57Okay.
14:58I say swap Jesse and Lou.
14:59Okay.
15:00That's my guess, but I honestly don't...
15:01What?
15:02You think Jesse's listening?
15:03Jesse's got kids.
15:04Lou.
15:05Oh, are you...
15:06Well, that would not...
15:07That, by the way, I'm gonna be furious if kids have infected this list.
15:09They have.
15:10Look at our playlist.
15:11Well, then you guys screwed this thing up.
15:13No!
15:14Spotify did.
15:15Try it.
15:16Try it.
15:17All right.
15:18Let's reveal...
15:19Yeah!
15:20High five!
15:21All right.
15:22Well, I'm gonna tell you right now.
15:25I know it's...
15:26I know it's the holidays, but a lot of people are gonna be fired tonight.
15:42Hopefully we'll try to...
15:43You know what we're gonna do?
15:44We're gonna try to clean up the wreckage and go on.
15:48We have a good show for you tonight.
15:50Drewski is here.
15:51We have business from Silvana.

16:27Is that good, Guillermo?

16:30Say it for me.

17:11Right on.
17:12Okay.
17:13Everybody plug back in, ready to go.
17:14I can't see you either up there.
17:18Oh, wow.
17:19You guys got the gear on from Intuit Dome.
17:20Right on.
17:21Excellent.
17:22Good to see you guys.
17:23The people that are wearing your merch.
17:24Oh, wow.
17:25You know what?
17:26I don't see that well.
17:27And I thought that was a Dodgers shirt.
17:28When you came out here.
17:29It's inspired.
17:30Mm-hmm.
17:31Yeah.
17:32You've been on tour for like 23 years.
17:33Yeah.
17:34This is quite a...
17:35This is like Shares.
17:36Coming to an end.
17:37Yeah.
17:38Yeah.
17:39December 13th, we're going to hang it up.
17:40I haven't seen you in a while.
17:41No, I haven't seen you.
17:42How's your show?
17:43Oh, wow.
17:44Okay.
17:45Everybody plug back in, ready to go.
17:46I can't see you either up there.
17:47Oh, wow.
17:48You guys got the gear on from Intuit Dome.
17:49Right on.
17:50Excellent.
17:51Good to see you guys.
17:52Good to see you guys.
17:53The people that are wearing your merch.
17:54Oh, wow.
17:55You know what?
17:56I don't see that well, and I thought that was a Dodgers shirt
17:57when you came out here.
17:58It's inspired.
17:59Mm-hmm.
18:00I haven't seen you in a while.
18:01Yeah, no.
18:02I haven't seen you.
18:03How's your life been?
18:04What's been going on?
18:05A lot of things.
18:09A lot of things.
18:10Do you remember the first time you were here, John?
18:13I don't remember anything.
18:14I don't remember what happened yesterday.
18:15It was 20 years ago.
18:172005.
18:18Goodness gracious.
18:19We've been doing this for two decades?
18:20That's right.
18:2120 years ago, you're here.
18:22Wow.
18:23Not only were you wrestling at that time, you were promoting a rap
18:25album that you made.
18:26Sure was.
18:27Yeah.
18:28Sure was.
18:29Wow.
18:30You helped that album go platinum.
18:32Thank you very much for letting me promote it.
18:34Triple platinum.
18:35Yes.
18:36Well, fair enough.
18:37Will there be a follow-up?
18:39Is there gonna be a 20-year anniversary celebration for the album?
18:42No way.
18:44No way.
18:45That chapter is closed.
18:46It's like we're closing the WWE chapter on the 13th.
18:48The hip-hop chapter is closed.
18:50Do you listen to the album ever?
18:51I do.
18:52Every year, I try to listen to it.
18:53I'm very proud of it.
18:54Uh-huh.
18:55I look back on it proudly, and I'm very proud of what we did.
18:57Yeah.
18:58You, uh, and, you know, you do these things, and then they're fun, and then all of a sudden
19:02you realize, like, oh, now I'm a movie star.
19:04Now I'm a big TV star.
19:06Now I'm all of these things.
19:07And I made a rap album also.
19:09A lot of people don't come out of that.
19:12Well, uh, I mean, for a different perspective, I don't think a lot of people get to do all
19:18that.
19:19That's true.
19:20That is a positive.
19:21You always put a lot of these things.
19:22Yeah.
19:23You know, there's another thing a lot of people don't get, is they don't get their day named
19:28after them in a whole state.
19:30Can you believe this?
19:31I mean, that's pretty good.
19:32November 10th is John Cena.
19:33The Commonwealth of Massachusetts stepped up and made November 10th John Cena Day.
19:42And it wasn't just November 10th.
19:44It's like in perpetuity.
19:45Like, next November 10th in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
19:48Forever.
19:49Is John Cena Day.
19:50Every year from here on is John Cena Day there.
19:53It sure is.
19:54Wow.
19:55Are you sure of that?
19:56Did they tell you that?
19:57The winner in all this is my dad.
19:58Why is that?
19:59Because he still lives in West Newbury, Massachusetts, and his name is John Cena.
20:03Oh, well, there you go.
20:04He's gonna be parking in the middle of the street, knocking people's food over, doing
20:10whatever my dad does.
20:11It's okay.
20:12It's fine.
20:13I can do it today.
20:14It's John Cena Day.
20:15Your dad's John Cena Senior?
20:16John Cena Senior.
20:17He's John Joseph.
20:18I'm John Felix Anthony.
20:19Okay.
20:20It's weird.
20:21He's not a senior.
20:22I'm not a junior.
20:23I have the same thing with my dad.
20:24He's a gym as well, but we have different middle names.
20:25But he was, oh, yeah, so that's exciting for him.
20:27Oh, John Cena.
20:28Well, do you think you'll get a street named after you or anything like that?
20:31Gosh, I hope not.
20:32Maybe.
20:33There is only, like, three streets in West Newbury, so maybe that's a huge deal.
20:37If you had one of those streets, that would be huge for your dad.
20:40One of those West Newbury streets.
20:41Seeing his name on there.
20:42Now, okay, this tour, this farewell tour that you're doing.
20:46Yeah.
20:4723 years of performing in WWE, and we're down to our last year.
20:50We're down to our last year.
20:51Yep.
20:52It's been a crazy year.
20:54Just to bring everyone but three people in the audience up to speed.
20:58You three know what we're talking about.
20:59It has been a crazy year where I announced this, like, 15 months in advance.
21:03I'm going to retire.
21:04This has really never been done in WWE history.
21:06WWE superstars don't necessarily retire.
21:09They always kind of hang on for one more match.
21:11Mm-hmm.
21:12I am absolutely 100% done.
21:14The 13th of December on Peacock is my last in-ring performance.
21:16You will never wrestle again?
21:17I will never wrestle again.
21:19What if you do wrestle again?
21:21Then you'll be able to show this.
21:23Okay, okay, all right.
21:24We'll show this.
21:25You'll call me a liar.
21:26But it's weird.
21:27There's a lot of skepticism out there because this has never been done before.
21:30I just hope people can come to grips with that because on the 13th, the reason I wanted
21:35to give people so much lead time is being perform- you know, being able to perform for two decades and
21:40people allowing me into their living rooms week after week, 52 weeks a year, no reruns.
21:44You do feel a connection with people.
21:46And touring the world in this last year, it really has been beautiful.
21:50And meeting audience members and them sharing their stories and connection, it's been great.
21:54I wanted to give people heads up so we could have or people could process-
21:58You're breaking up with them.
21:59Whatever closure they want.
22:01Yes, yes.
22:02You're breaking the connection.
22:03For the 13th.
22:04This beautiful connection you have, you're ending it now.
22:05And if you're one of those people who are like, you're never going to retire after the 13th
22:10is going to be weird because you don't have the closure you want.
22:13So I really hope everybody tunes into Saturday night's main event.
22:15It's the last one I got.
22:16You don't know who you're fighting yet.
22:18I don't.
22:19How can that be?
22:20Because I don't know.
22:21Would it be fun if you fought your dad on this thing?
22:24It was John Cena versus John Cena?
22:26Now, it'd be fun for me, but the name of the company is World Wrestling Entertainment.
22:31I don't know how entertaining it would be.
22:32I think it would be pretty weird.
22:34No, my dad is spry for an 80-year-old.
22:36He is.
22:37He can move.
22:38So it's down to two guys that you might wrestle.
22:40Or is there a third party that might come in?
22:42Who knows?
22:43You don't know.
22:44No, I think it's down to two people.
22:46Will there be a huge gathering of famous wrestling figures, luminaries that are there
22:52to see you off at this event?
22:54So I actually suggested that instead of, like, a tribute and spending the whole show based
23:00around, like, okay, this is the past, I wanted to have my final match, which I'll get my chunk
23:05of time, and then dedicate the rest of the show to the future.
23:08So if you tune in to Saturday Night's main event on Peacock on the 13th, you'll see my final in-ring performance.
23:13Mm-hmm.
23:14But you'll also get a grip, you'll get a look at the major WWE superstars facing future stars,
23:18because the way I came into the business was a major star.
23:21A gold medalist was like, open challenge to anyone.
23:24And me, no name, came walking out there, and that was the start of this crazy ride.
23:28So 23 years later, I kind of want to return the favor.
23:31And you're going to see some technical minor leaguers step up to the plate and see if they can get it.
23:36Minor leaguers? Oh, so the stars of tomorrow will be coming in.
23:38Yes, indeed. So I think that's kind of cool, like, on the way out to give most of the programming
23:42to the future of the business.
23:43Mm-hmm.
23:44I'm really excited for that. Thank you so much.
23:47Appreciate it. Appreciate it.
23:48I think that's very nice.
23:50It also could mean you want to leave early.
23:53Will you stay till the end of the show? Will you be there till the end of the...
23:56Normally, normally I go to bed early.
23:59You do?
24:00Yeah, but I think I'm probably going to end this one.
24:02So I'll probably be last on that one.
24:03When we come back, I want to revisit...
24:05We're coming back?
24:06Yes, we are going to take a break. We're going to come back.
24:08I want to revisit something with you that I'm still impressed by. I really am.
24:12John Cena is here. You can see him live December 13th.
24:16He will never wrestle again. We'll be right back after that.
24:26All the.
24:38.
24:41Costumes.
24:45They are so important.
24:53That is John Cena at the Oscars.
24:58That was, I, I was so impressed by your performance there.
25:03I mean, I was impressed by a lot more than just your performance.
25:06But that was.
25:08The card was so small.
25:10You remember how much negotiation went into the card?
25:13Oh, man.
25:14So there are these people called standards and practices people that work for the network.
25:18They ruin all the fun.
25:19And this is a live show.
25:20This is not something that's on tape that we could blur later if, you know, if something pops out.
25:25I wanted to go out there with my incredibly underwhelming odd-shaped penis just in the wind.
25:30I heard, I heard a different adjective other than underwhelming, to be honest.
25:36But they were worried that I wanted it to be just the regular-sized card, you know,
25:42and they were worried that if it was, that we would...
25:45Like the index.
25:45...have an inset, an incident.
25:47Yeah.
25:47Well, I'm sure there would have been real estate around the card.
25:51Yeah, no, there weren't.
25:52Well, we added some real estate around the card.
25:53We added, we made the card larger.
25:55And then you were, like, all glued up, right?
25:58Yes.
25:58Yes.
25:59You can't show B-hole.
26:02That's right.
26:03That's one of the biggest rules.
26:04That's the number one rule at the Oscars.
26:06Yeah.
26:07Yeah, can't show the exit point at all.
26:09Since, like, 90 years ago, they put that rule into place.
26:13So I had my B-hole taped.
26:16Yeah, there was tape on your butt.
26:19This is real.
26:19This happened.
26:20And, um, there was a lot of sweating going on backstage.
26:24Not from you, from the people in charge of making sure.
26:27People were very, very nervous about that.
26:29But I was so happy that it happened,
26:30and I didn't want to thank you.
26:32There was an individual who came in to check on me,
26:33to be like, good.
26:35Looked, you know, give me the other ones over to make sure.
26:37And they came in a lot, actually.
26:40I don't know.
26:41I'm going to find out they didn't even work there.
26:43It was great.
26:43It was weird.
26:43It was a great.
26:44Oh, but it was a fun night,
26:46and you teed me up with a funny bit.
26:49What was going through your mind
26:51when you were out there looking out
26:53at the Oscar audience almost naked?
26:55First of all, I don't belong in that room.
26:57So you gave me a chance, an opportunity,
27:00to stand in front of people who inspire me
27:04and whom I admire and have a few seconds.
27:07And that was really important.
27:08And with my background in WWE,
27:10I know to keep a surprise a surprise,
27:13you have to miss out on some of the fun.
27:15So I didn't walk the carpets.
27:16I got there early.
27:17I spent the whole time in a small dressing room
27:20playing cards with one of my best friends, Dan Boehm.
27:23And when it was time to go,
27:24we did a very quick rehearsal,
27:25so minimal people saw, just for camera adjustments.
27:28And then I just sauntered out,
27:30sauntered back, and was gone.
27:31Yeah.
27:31So I didn't necessarily reap all the rewards
27:34of getting the fun,
27:35but it wasn't about what I wanted.
27:37It was about making the bit good.
27:39It was great.
27:40So the bit ended up being great.
27:41Man, you were a vehicle to put me...
27:45There's a lot more than just that.
27:47You were a vehicle to put me in a room
27:48where I don't necessarily belong
27:50and be able to entertain people.
27:51Well, I disagree.
27:52I think you did belong in that room.
27:54I think you're a super talented guy.
27:56And I noticed that the very first time
27:57you were on the show back in...
27:59Promoting the rap album.
27:59Promoting the rap album, for real.
28:01I mean, you know, as silly as it was,
28:03I was like, huh, that guy, you know,
28:04like, I'm not a big wrestling guy.
28:06I was impressed by you.
28:08And I still am, yes.
28:09Especially after seeing you almost naked.
28:11Will you continue to, um...
28:12Be almost naked, occasionally?
28:14Will you continue to shave your entire body,
28:16uh, now that you're not going to be wrestling anymore?
28:19I think manscaping's just a part of me.
28:21It's a party in that...
28:22I think it's just...
28:23I think it's just a part of me.
28:25Would you recommend it for others?
28:27No.
28:28No, you would not.
28:29Okay.
28:29All right.
28:30So many things can go wrong.
28:32So, after this match,
28:34this final match,
28:35you're gonna go out there.
28:36I hope you're gonna win.
28:37That would be a terrible thing.
28:39I'm gonna try my best.
28:40You're gonna try your best.
28:41And here's the cool thing
28:41about having a singles competition in WWE.
28:45You either finish first or second.
28:46I'm okay with that.
28:47Okay, you're gonna at least get the silver.
28:48Yeah.
28:49At least I'll get the silver.
28:50I don't know.
28:51What are you gonna do that night
28:53or the next day?
28:54How will you...
28:55What will you do
28:56to kind of take it all in and celebrate?
28:58Uh, that night,
28:59I'm going to spend a lot of time
29:01with folks I love,
29:02who I connect strongly with.
29:04I think the next day,
29:05I hope to wake up hungover.
29:07Okay.
29:08All right.
29:09John Cena, everybody.
29:11Saturday night's main event

30:07Please welcome Drewski.
30:08Thanks for being here.
30:25Drewski, just for the old,
30:26like myself,
30:27explain how you became a hero
30:29to millions of young people.
30:31Man, just around on the internet,
30:33I guess.
30:34You know, I don't...
30:35That's what got me here, man.
30:37You know, just being myself
30:38and it's been a great ride going on.
30:40So you didn't have, like,
30:41the intent to be your...
30:42You didn't get into it thinking,
30:44I want to be a superstar.
30:46You got into it just because
30:47you like making funny videos.
30:48Well, not necessarily.
30:50I kind of wanted the money, too.
30:51Don't forget that.
30:51You wanted the money?
30:52Yeah, I wanted some money, too.
30:53Don't forget that.
30:54But, yes, for the most part,
30:55I've always had a love for the craft.
30:58Grew up, my mom always recorded videos
31:00of me being silly,
31:01even down from being in diapers.
31:03So, yeah, I've always been doing that.
31:05What did you do when you were in diapers?
31:06Yeah, I was just, like,
31:08acting like a rapper.
31:09You know what I mean?
31:09Oh, you are.
31:09Yeah, yeah, yeah.
31:10I was just, like, dancing around,
31:12just acting like I was famous already.
31:14And in a way, you kind of...
31:15Well, you do these characters
31:17that are kind of impressions
31:20of people that we recognize,
31:23but not celebrities or anything like that.
31:25Yeah, no.
31:25Like, you got, like,
31:26the guy who's proud to be American.
31:28Oh, yeah.
31:28That was an interesting one.
31:29Yeah.
31:30Woo!
31:30The guy who's...
31:31Yeah, I was your complexion in that one.
31:34That's right.
31:34Yeah, yeah, I was your complexion.
31:37The annoying drug dealer,
31:38the white guy who's accepted by the hood.
31:40Oh, yeah.
31:41Oh, yeah.
31:41The Mean Little League coach.
31:42That's another one I was your complexion in.
31:43Yeah?
31:44Yeah, yeah, yeah.
31:44Mean Little League coach,
31:46an airport TSA worker that has attitude.
31:48Yes, yes.
31:49The TSA one,
31:50that one's an interesting one as well, man.
31:52We got offered a Netflix show for that one.
31:54For that skit?
31:55Yes, yes, for that skit.
31:56Wow.
31:57That was an amazing skit, you know?
31:58Like, even when I go to the airport,
32:00people come up to me during the TSA,
32:02and they're always like,
32:03put the stuff in the bag!
32:04Put it in your...
32:04I'm like, yo, relax.
32:05But they're just repeating what I said in the skit.
32:07Oh, the TSA workers themselves do that to you?
32:10Yeah, yeah, yeah.
32:11But, you know, it's interesting, man.
32:12I like doing down-to-earth stuff like that
32:15because that's where the real comedy is, you know?
32:17So you're walking around just kind of looking at people,
32:19and if something catches your eye, you run with it.
32:22Well, I write it down.
32:23You write it down.
32:24And then we run it, man.
32:25And do you think that the TSA...
32:26Do you feel like you get extra pat down,
32:29or are you welcome through?
32:30Yeah, but recently...
32:31Recently...
32:32I've been getting more patted down.
32:34Now that you say that, I'm kind of noticing that, man.
32:36I got more patted down when I came out here to L.A., for sure.
32:39Yeah, you have to be kind to them,
32:40or you might not be able to fly.
32:42Yeah, you won't be...
32:43If you fly early in the morning,
32:44a lot of them got attitudes.
32:46I know you...
32:46You may not know because you fly in private.
32:48You probably...
32:48Yeah, you don't know.
32:50You don't get...
32:50You think earlier in the morning they're...
32:52Yeah, early in the morning they got attitudes, man.
32:54They always yelling at you.
32:55They're telling you to take your hoodie off,
32:57and take the hoodie off!
32:59And it's like, man, come on, man.
33:00We get it.
33:01Like, I'm gonna put my phone in here.
33:02Yeah, but in fairness to them,
33:04all day long, they're telling people...
33:06Yeah, but you know, it's the authority thing.
33:07That's what they love about it.
33:09They want to be in charge.
33:10But I get it. I get it.
33:11You're not just gonna get patted down,
33:14you're gonna get an anal exploration the next time you...
33:16No, I said...
33:18You shoot...
33:19I know you shoot a lot of your sketches, like, in...
33:21Wait, hold on, man.
33:22You can't just jump from the next...
33:24What are you doing, man?
33:26We're going now from anal exploration to...
33:28We're on a journey,
33:30and we're going to now your bits that you shoot,
33:34like, on the street.
33:35Yes, yes.
33:35Do you...
33:36Because I know, like, this is, like, real interaction,
33:39and you're doing this stuff,
33:40and it's not like a movie where you, like, shut it all down.
33:42Are people seeing you,
33:43and is it making it harder to do your bits
33:46now that people know who you are?
33:48Yeah, man, somewhat.
33:49I think it's harder to go to the hospital now, man.
33:53When I recently went...
33:54I recently went to the hospital for an injury,
33:57and somebody came into the room.
33:59They said, hey, can I get a selfie?
34:00I said, yo, I was waiting on the nurse.
34:02Is the nurse still coming?
34:03They're like, yeah, yeah, yeah,
34:03but let me get a selfie real quick, though.
34:05And I'm like, yo, all right, let's do the selfie.
34:08They're like, man...
34:08And then she comes up to me, she takes a picture,
34:10she knocks me on the knee, she said, you ain't hurt, boy.
34:12I'm like, yo, that is exactly where I'm hurt.
34:15Like, what are you doing?
34:16Like, where is the doctor, man?
34:18That's the problem with comedy, man.
34:20People don't take you serious.
34:21So, you know, that's just what comes with it.
34:23I love it, though.
34:24You did the T-Mobile commercial
34:27with Jeff Bridges and Zoe Saldana, yeah,
34:31and two Oscar winners.
34:32Yeah, man, it's amazing.
34:33That's got to be a weird thing.
34:35Insane, insane.
34:35No, I actually enjoyed it.
34:37Did Jeff Bridges know who you were?
34:38Did he have any idea?
34:40I think Jeff Bridges might not have known
34:42exactly who I was, but he is a good guy,
34:44and we had a long conversation,
34:46and he was just learning more about me
34:48and, like, seeing how funny I was.
34:50We had, like, a deep talk about a bunch of stuff.
34:51He's a curious guy, yeah.
34:52Yeah, yeah, he definitely is.
34:53Did you feel like you bonded with the dude?
34:55Yeah, I bonded with both of them.
34:56They were both really good, and, like I said,
34:58we're shooting another one soon, so, yeah,
35:00I'm excited to see that.
35:01What do you, uh, what, your CudaFest tour,
35:03what happens there?
35:05I know there's, um, there's comedy, obviously.
35:07Oh, yeah.
35:07What, what is the music portion of the program?
35:09The music portion, we have a show in L.A.
35:12The music portion, sometimes, it could just be a surprise.
35:14Like, we have Snoop Dogg coming, we have Chief Keef,
35:17we have Wiz Khalifa, uh, yeah, there's a lot of people.
35:20We, there's a lot of, yeah.

35:25I do, I know all of those.
35:26I know Wiz Khalifa, I know, yeah, there's gonna be,
35:29I mean, it's gonna be, are you a smoker?
35:31No, not at all.
35:32You were going to be.

35:34You'll be starting again on Saturday.
35:35Well, no, no, no, no, no, I won't, no, no, no, no.
35:37Why did you quit?
35:38I quit, man, I quit in high school, man.
35:40I used to smoke all the time.
35:42We, uh, I had a bad experience.
35:43I got high and, uh, I begged all my friends
35:46to call the police on me.
35:48So, yeah.
35:49Did they do it?
35:49Yeah, I begged all my friends to call the police on me
35:51and that was probably the dumbest thing I could have ever.
35:53Did they call the police?
35:54Yeah, they did, they definitely did.
35:55Those are really, yeah.
35:56No, no, no, they didn't call the police.
35:58No, they took me home.
35:59They actually dropped me off.
36:00Yeah, yeah, yeah.
36:00Yeah, that's probably the best thing to do.
36:02Yeah, Snoop, yeah, if Snoop hands you something
36:04that's on fire, don't put it in your mouth.
36:06Definitely won't, definitely won't.
36:07That's not where you want to experiment.
36:08No, he's a good guy, though.
36:10They're going to come and they'll do a show and, uh...
36:12Yeah, everybody, everybody just shows up.
36:14Every city we go to, we try to bring out, like,
36:16the biggest people.
36:17And then we have a lot of other things
36:19that happen during the tour.
36:20There's a lot of comedy parts where I come out
36:22and me and my, uh, um, me and another comedian,
36:26we come out, Nat Green, and we do, like,
36:28an improvisational moment.
36:30So it's like a moment where we talk to the crowd
36:31and ask the fans questions, and then I have an Usher moment
36:34where I'm going around with bananas.
36:36Don't look into that.
36:37You should...
36:38Okay. You're not on roller skates, are you?
36:39Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I'm not on roller skates,
36:41but I am in the same robe that Usher had on.
36:43Oh, you are?
36:43Yeah, yeah, yeah.
