00:53Thank you, thank you, thank you!
01:02Come on, that's what I've done now!
01:06I love you, enjoy yourself!
01:08Welcome, everybody!
01:09Welcome, welcome, welcome to The Tonight Show!
01:12You're here for Tonight Show!
01:14We have a big show for you tonight.
01:17Jack Black is here tonight.
01:18Jack Black.
01:22Before we get to the show,
01:23let's get to some news first.
01:24Everybody's talking about this.
01:26Today, President Trump fired
01:27Attorney General Pam Bondi.
01:31He...
01:38The hardest thing about getting fired by Trump
01:40is pretending to be sad
01:41when he tells you, you know?
01:44Of course, being fired by Trump
01:45is never fun.
01:46Kristi Noem was like,
01:47true, but things can definitely get worse, so...
01:51Meanwhile, when Trump realized
01:52he fired the woman with access
01:54to all the Epstein files,
01:55he was like, oh, crap.
01:58Uh...
01:59Pam, you're not fired.
02:00You're redacted.
02:03Apparently, Trump was also upset
02:04that Bondi didn't go after his enemies.
02:07Oh.
02:08And Bondi was like,
02:09so you want me to arrest NATO,
02:10Bruce Springsteen,
02:11and the ice cream machine at McDonald's?
02:13He's like, it never works.
02:14It never works.
02:17Yep, Trump's on a bit of a firing spree.
02:20First, Kristi Noem, then Pam Bondi.
02:22Ironically, the only staffer who has immunity
02:24is RFK Jr.
02:26Isn't that weird?
02:29Interesting, right?
02:31Think about it.
02:34Some more news from Washington last night.
02:37In a primetime address,
02:38Trump spoke for 19 minutes about the war
02:40and didn't have anything new to say.
02:44You know, you nailed the primetime address
02:46when everyone's reaction is,
02:47you interrupted the Masked Singer for this?
02:50Yep, Trump didn't have much to say.
02:52It's like when your iPhone has an important update
02:54and then it just adds two new emojis.
02:56Yeah.
02:57Well, during Trump's big speech,
02:59he used a teleprompter,
03:00and it turns out he really relies on it.
03:02Check out what Trump's staff puts on the teleprompter
03:05to get him to say what they want.
03:06Watch this.
03:07Let me begin by congratulating the team at NASA
03:11and our brave astronauts.
03:13It will be traveling further
03:15than any manned rocket has ever flown
03:17and will very substantially pass the moon.
03:20Remember, because of our Drill Baby Drill program,
03:23America has plenty of gas.
03:25We have so much gas.
03:26It would lead to decades of extortion,
03:30economic pain, and instability
03:32worse than we can ever imagine.
03:34I can say tonight that we are on track
03:37to complete all of America's military objectives shortly.
03:41Very shortly.
03:42It's interesting what they say.
03:44To get him to say this,
03:46you get to know him.
03:50Well, it's been a rough month for Trump,
03:53but he's not worried
03:54because he has a plan to turn things around.
03:56Take a look.
03:57President Trump here announcing a new plan
03:59to make my presidency the greatest in history.
04:01And it's simple.
04:02I'm going to flip all the charts upside down.
04:06That's right.
04:06The stock market, skyrocketing.
04:09Gas prices, way down.
04:11Measles, gone.
04:13And my 33% approval rating now, 67%.
04:16Round that up to 100.
04:18So like the great Missy Elliot,
04:20I'm just going to put my thing down,
04:22flip it, and reverse it.
04:23Is your flip-flip-flip-flip yet?
04:25Is your flip-flip-flip yet?
04:27It's the only idea I have left.
04:28Okay, bye.
04:29Yeah, interesting.
04:30I thought that was nice when you released that.
04:36Well, this is exciting.
04:38NASA just successfully launched
04:39a historic 10-day mission around the moon.
04:46But this is true.
04:47Get this.
04:47Shortly after launch,
04:49the toilet aboard the Artemis 2 rocket broke.
04:52Yeah, it suddenly went from a billion-dollar rocket
04:55to a carnival cruise in space.
05:00That's right.
05:00For six hours,
05:01the astronauts couldn't use the bathroom.
05:03The ground crew was like,
05:04do you have to make an Artemis 1 or an Artemis 2?
05:08Sorry to get personal.
05:11Luckily, Mario and Luigi were in the galaxy
05:13and fixed it right up.
05:14So, we're all good.
05:15Yep, the Artemis 2 crew is on their way to the moon.
05:18Now, I wanted to learn more about this.
05:19So, please welcome,
05:20from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory,
05:22spaceflight expert,
05:24Michael Rothby, everybody.
05:25Michael, thank you for being here.
05:28Appreciate that.
05:29I'm very happy to be here, Jimmy.
05:31I just love any opportunity
05:33that I have to talk about space.
05:35So, I see you have your model there.
05:38Tell us, how did the launch go?
05:39Well, Jimmy, the launch,
05:40you know, it went without a hitch.
05:43They lifted off from Cape Canaveral.
05:45Yep.
05:46And just like, you know,
05:50and then their trajectory
05:51took them, you know, into orbit,
05:53like,
05:55and now they're on their way,
05:57you know, all the way to the moon,
05:58like,
06:01awesome.
06:03Then what's going to happen?
06:04Oh, well,
06:06maybe asteroids,
06:07you know,
06:07will fly by them
06:08and they'll have to, like,
06:09go on a different course,
06:10you know?
06:12You'd be the asteroid.
06:13Yeah.
06:15Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
06:16And they'll have to, like,

11:12Last night,
11:14yesterday,
11:14it was April Fool's Day,
11:16right?
11:17So, last year,
11:18April Fool's Day,
11:19this is true,
11:20I went home
11:21and my kids
11:23were excited to see me.
11:24They go,
11:25Dad, Dad's here,
11:26Dad's here.
11:26And my youngest,
11:28Franny, goes,
11:29Dad, can you put on
11:30something that you don't
11:30care if it gets messy?
11:32And I go,
11:34yeah, okay,
11:34I just got home.
11:35I go, sure, sure, sure.
11:36So I put on a T-shirt,
11:37I go,
11:37she's probably gonna put
11:38makeup on me,
11:39I don't know,
11:40whatever.
11:40So I go,
11:41I don't know what's happening.
11:42So I go, yeah.
11:43And I come around the corner
11:44and she hits me in the face
11:46with a whipped cream pie.
11:48Whipped cream goes everywhere,
11:50goes all over the walls,
11:52nothing on my shirt,
11:53nothing,
11:53just all over my face.
11:54I go,
11:55what are you doing?
11:56Why would you do that?
11:58And she goes,
11:58April Fool's.
12:00No,
12:02that's not how
12:03April Fool's works.
12:05That's not April Fool's at all.
12:06So I go,
12:07that's bad.
12:08I go,
12:08I'm gonna get you,
12:09I'm gonna get you back.
12:10You know,
12:11I will,
12:11I'll think of something.
12:12And she goes,
12:12do you think I care?
12:15Really?
12:16Where are you getting sassy?
12:17Where are you learning
12:17that stuff from?
12:18I go,
12:18seriously,
12:18I'll do something.
12:19I'll put snakes in your bed
12:21or something.
12:21You know,
12:22she goes,
12:22I like snakes.
12:24Whatever.
12:25So I go,
12:26I get cleaned off.
12:27I go and I was putting her to bed
12:29and I gave her a kiss.
12:30I said,
12:31all right,
12:31I love you.
12:31I turn the lights out.
12:32I go,
12:32good night.
12:33I love you.
12:34And I was leaving the room.
12:35She goes,
12:35dad?
12:35I go,
12:35she goes,
12:36I don't really like snakes.
12:39And I said,
12:40do you think I care?
12:43Because they have to learn
12:45eventually what real life is.
12:48300 snakes.
12:49Anyways,
12:50last night,
12:50finished the show.

13:04And then a picture of her
13:05looking like evil.

13:09So I go,
13:10all right,
13:10I already know I'm going to get
13:11pied or something's going to happen.
13:12So I went home,
13:13I put a t-shirt on
13:14and I stood in the shower.
13:17And this happened.
13:23Dad?
13:27I'm so mad.
13:28Are you ready?
13:29No.

19:30to have your song on the charts yeah i was really stoked that it went viral as the kids say
19:36yes and
19:37uh uh uh it was a sweet little jam that just sort of came up uh organically while we were
19:42recording
19:42uh we were like halfway through the process we're like a year into recording bowser voice and
19:48and the the writers and director was like we have an idea for maybe bowser sings a song and i
19:53was
19:53like nah that's a bad idea i'm not gonna sing in this movie guys you didn't i didn't sign up
19:57for a
19:57musical and then i was like all right let me hear what you got and they sent it over and
20:02i was like
20:02this is funny we gotta do this and uh i'm really glad that that they did because it's like a
20:08beautiful

20:16soft side he's a lover and a fighter oh i love that i remember uh i was uh playing it

20:32gonna
20:32really understand yeah and we didn't rehearse it i don't know if that's the right key
20:43that's what i've done that's some magic i can't help it you crushed it as bowser uh i think though
20:49i don't know if he got uh enough respect well you know i mean bowser got a lot of love
20:55in the the fans
20:56the nintendo fans but i thank you for bringing that up no problem bowser did not get any attention or
21:01love
21:02from uh uh uh the academy uh and i was like dude peaches is a banger everyone's singing your kids
21:08are my kids just everything i was like yeah i would for a second i was like i think we

35:05I just finished the European leg of our tour, and it's just so good to be back in America.
35:14Oh, and to hear English and to speak English, what a treat.
35:20Do you know how lucky we are that this is what we speak?
35:23There is zero effort in speaking English.
35:26I'm speaking to you right now in English.
35:28There's no effort.
35:30You breathe in.
35:31You breathe out.
35:32You put some words, and you're done.
35:34We were in countries where you can't imagine what they have to go through to communicate.
35:39We were in Holland.
35:41They speak Dutch.
35:42They have to engage their core, suck air in through their ears, and...
35:57They sound like someone speaking Yiddish and having a stroke.
36:03Paris.
36:04We were in France.
36:05Do you know how hard French is to speak?
36:06Even the French give up in the middle.
36:20I'm married.
36:21I'm married.
36:22I have had just an anniversary just passed.
36:25Yes.
36:26Yes.
36:27Married anniversary to my husband.
36:29I have a husband.
36:31Yes.
36:32Yes.
36:33And whenever fans see us, they always come up to us and go, hey, you're Modi, and you're
36:39his gay husband.
36:42And they say it as if I'm not gay.
36:45But I happen to have a gay husband.
36:47People have asked, is Modi gay?
36:49I don't know, but his husband is.
36:52Yeah.
36:53I was told I don't give off a gay vibe.
36:57Yeah.
36:57Leo and I live in Manhattan, a big building with a million people and a lot of gossip.
37:02A lot of gossip.
37:03And the woman that's in charge of all the gossip lives on our floor.
37:09I'm not going to mention her name.
37:11Sharon Berkowitz.
37:13Yeah.
37:149F, right when you make the turn.
37:17Two months ago, she corners me in the elevator and says, uh-huh, uh-huh.
37:22I don't know if you've heard, but the lawyer that bought the apartment above the
37:27of yours is a homosexual.
37:31I said, Sharon, you're kidding.
37:33I've been sleeping with him all this time.
37:35I had no idea he's a lawyer.
37:41Fans are very supportive and have lots of advice for us.
37:44Lots of advice.
37:45Yep.
37:46You guys are so cute.
37:47Oh, my God.
37:48You guys should...
37:50You guys should have a baby.
37:53We can't.
37:56Did you miss that class in junior high school?
37:59No, there's ways.
38:00There's ways.
38:01With a surrogate for only $220,000, you can try.
38:06It doesn't always work.
38:07It doesn't always take.
38:10Leo and I took $220,000 and redid all the bathrooms in our Connecticut home.
38:16Yes.
38:17Yes.
38:18And they all work.
38:21Yes.
38:21They all took.
38:22They took seven weeks.
38:24But now we have the heated floors and the steam shower.
38:27Lots of joy we have from this.
38:29Yeah, yeah.
38:30Lots of advice they have for us.
38:32You guys should rescue a dog.
38:35We rescued a Porsche.
38:38Yeah.
38:39It was in a car lot of the dealership.
38:42It's all alone.
38:43There's almost a year old.
38:45Couldn't just leave it there.
38:47Leo fell in love with it.
38:48Now Leo brings it everywhere.
38:49So it's a win-win.
38:51Yeah.
38:52Yes.
38:56My husband is younger.
38:58He's 10, 12 years younger than me.
39:0122 years younger.
39:0210 and 12.
39:03Yes.
39:04He's a millennial.
39:06A millennial.
39:07Yeah.
39:07Yeah.
39:08Yeah.
39:09We have small little generational differences.
39:12For example, I wear a watch.
39:14I've worn a watch ever since I was 13 years old.
39:17Millennials don't wear watches.
39:19But this past summer, we're on the beach.
39:21I look over.
39:22I see Leo wearing a black watch.
39:25I said, Leo, what time is it?
39:28It doesn't tell you the time.
39:31I said, your watch doesn't tell you the time.
39:33It's not a watch.
39:33It's a whoop.
39:36I said, well, what does your whoop tell you?
39:38It tells me how I'm doing, how I'm actually doing.
39:45So I look at my wrist.
39:46I see a gold Rolex.
39:48I know I'm doing good.
39:52And I also know what time it is.
39:59Oh, my God.
40:03Danny Robson will be proud.
40:06Modi, everybody.
40:08That's right.
40:10See Modi at Radio City Music Hall April 23rd and 30th.
40:14My thanks to Jack Black, Olivia Munn, Jafar Jackson, Modi once again.
40:23And the Ruth's right there from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
40:29Stay tuned for Late Night with Seth Meyers.
