00:07From Studio 6B and Rockabella's center in the heart of New York City,
00:11it's the Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon.
00:16Tonight joins Jimmy and his guests, Kiki Palmer,
00:20Gabriel Basso, comedian Rachel Williams,
00:24and featuring the legendary Ruth Purse.
00:272250.
00:30And now, here he is,
00:34Jimmy Fallon!
00:53Oh, thank you!
00:56Thank you very much!
01:04Thank you very much. Enjoy yourself. Enjoy yourself, everybody.
01:08Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome to The Tonight Show.
01:12You're here, huh?
01:13I appreciate it.
01:15Welcome. Thank you for watching.
01:17Well, guys, the fallout from the latest Epstein Files release continues.
01:22And last night, President Trump's Justice Department said that it is not a crime to party with Epstein.
01:29You had years to come up with an excuse, and that's what you went with?
01:34No.
01:37If someone said that to you at a Super Bowl party, you would slowly back away and call the police.
01:43Trump was like, partying with Epstein doesn't make me a criminal.
01:47The 34 criminal convictions do.
01:56Yeah, they said that it's not a crime to party with Jeffrey Epstein, which is pretty much like saying it's
02:02not a crime to have brunch with Jeffrey Dahmer.
02:04You know, this chicken finger has a ring on it.
02:07Whoa!
02:09Hey!
02:12Get this.
02:14Get this. Today, Trump said that he's suing Harvard for $1 billion in damages.
02:20Yeah, but just in case he doesn't get it, he's also suing Cornell as his safety school.
02:26It's not a fair fight when Harvard's lawyers went to Harvard Law and Trump's lawyers went to 1-800-LAWYER.
02:31You know?
02:33Switching gears to some business news.
02:35Pepsi announced that they are cutting prices on a lot of their snacks, like Doritos and Cheetos.
02:42That's great.
02:44That's great.
02:44It's really going to save the president a lot of money on makeup.
02:49Things were so bad.
02:50I was using flaming hot takis for a while.
02:54Oh, hey, guys.
02:55Meanwhile, I just saw Netflix just dropped a trailer for a new series called Detective Hole.
03:01This is real.
03:01It's a Norwegian show based on a popular book series about a detective named Harry Hole.
03:09What?
03:11What?
03:12No.
03:13It's based on a...
03:14Really?
03:14Yes.
03:15You're not trying to make an ass out of me.
03:17We got a clip, and honestly, it looks pretty good.
03:21Take a look at this.
03:26Who is it?
03:28I'm Detective Hole.
03:29I'm here to ask you a couple of questions in regards to the missing diplomat.
03:33What?
03:34I'm here to ask you a couple of questions in regards to the missing diplomat.
03:37Did you say your name was Detective Hole?
03:39Yes.
03:40Detective Harry Hole.
03:41Your name is Detective Harry Hole?
03:44Yes.
03:44You're kidding me.
03:45I'm not.
03:46Now, what I need to know...
03:47Your name is Detective Harry Hole?
03:49Yes.
03:49Come on, man.
03:51Detective Harry Hole?
03:52Your parents named you Harry Hole?
03:54They did.
03:55Now, what...
03:56They named their baby Harry Hole.
03:58Correct.
03:59Now, what I need to know...
04:00What are your parents' names?
04:01Bud and Ash.
04:03Your parents' names are Bud Hole and Ash Hole?
04:05Dude.
04:06Babe, come here.
04:07What?
04:07Come on!
04:09Ask this guy his name.
04:10What's your name?
04:11My name is Detective Harry Hole.
04:16What I need to know is, did you kill that diplomat?
04:18Yeah, I killed the diplomat, but you're telling me your name is Harry Hole.
04:21No joker.
04:21It is.
04:22On your birth certificate, it says Harry Hole.
04:25Harry B. Hole.
04:30Wow.
04:34Some more entertainment news.
04:36A new report found that Bluey was the most streamed show of 2025.
04:39With over 45 billion minutes watched.
04:44Wow.
04:44Unfortunately, there are some other children's cartoons right now that aren't as popular.
04:48For instance, Thomas and Friends with Benefits.
04:52There's also this one, the magic greyhound bus to Atlantic City.
04:57There's also Doug, the college years.
05:01Then there's Gabby's Waffle House at 2 a.m.
05:06There's also Bob, the bodybuilder.
05:09And finally, there's the Boss Baby.
05:14I wouldn't recommend.
05:15They're not popular.
05:16No, not popular at all.
05:17No.
05:18Guys, the Super Bowl is on Sunday, and I saw that this year...
05:22Yeah.
05:23I'm excited.
05:24What are you doing?
05:26I saw that this year, a 30-second commercial cost the record $8 million.
05:32Some companies are already testing out shorter ads to avoid high costs.
05:36I mean, check out this one from Dove.
05:38We here at Dove are proud to sell soap.
05:42That's it.
05:44To the point.
05:46That's it.
05:47Check...
05:50Check out this ad from KFC.
05:52Chicken, biscuits, etc.
05:56Wow.
05:57Etcetera.
05:58Here's one more.
05:59This one's from Planters.
06:01These nuts!
06:02There you go.
06:03That's rude.
06:04That's just plain rude.
06:07And finally, I heard about a cannabis dispensary in New Jersey that caught on fire.
06:13Luckily, firefighters were able to quickly put it out before their mom came in.
06:16We have a great show.
06:17Give it up for Ruth!
06:33Welcome to the show, everybody.
06:35Thank you so much.
06:37Hot crowd tonight.
06:40Yeah.
06:42I love you.
06:44I want to mention that we have a big show coming up this Friday, right after the Olympics
06:49opening ceremony on NBC.
06:51Chris Hemsworth and Mr. Beast will be here.

06:58Plus, we'll have Nick Jonas and a bunch of fun surprises.
07:01You don't want to miss it this Friday night after the Olympics.
07:04It's good.
07:07But first, what a show we have for you tonight.

07:36Gabriel Basso is joining us.
07:38He's fantastic.

07:50Guys, we're in the middle of an exciting NBA season, which means it's time for the Tonight
07:54Show One-Shot Jackpot.
07:56Here we go.
07:59Tonight Show One-Shot Jackpot!
08:06That's right.
08:07And every week, we're having one lucky audience member take a half-court basketball shot to try
08:15and win a cash prize.
08:17And tonight's jackpot is $20,000.
08:27Yeah, start warming up.
08:29Get loose.
08:29Get loose.
08:30You guys, you got this.
08:33Let's see who is taking the shot.
08:35Who wants it?
08:39In this basketball, our number is representing the seats in our audience.
08:42Everyone, look at your seats.
08:44If I pick your number, I need you to jump up and let us know where you are.
08:47Look at your seat numbers and get ready.
08:52Two, five, six.
08:54Come on down.
09:04Oh, yeah.
09:06That's what I'm talking about.
09:08Nice to see you, buddy.
09:09How are you?
09:12What is your name and where are you from?
09:14Carson Young, Lexington, Kentucky.
09:16That's right.
09:17Kentucky in the house.
09:18All right.
09:21You look athletic.
09:22Do you play basketball?
09:23I do not.
09:23Okay.
09:24All right.
09:25It's going to be a little bit more difficult for you then.
09:27Yeah.
09:28Never played it?
09:30No, not really.
09:31No.
09:31Okay.
09:32You're going to get one half-court shot.
09:34If you make the basket, you win $20,000.
09:38Let's get you into position.
09:39I think you got that.
09:40Yeah, you got it.
09:41You can go there.
09:45All right.
09:46You can dribble it a couple times, whatever you want to do.
09:49Now, hold on a second.
09:50Now, before you take that shot, you do have another option.
09:53You can either take the half-court shot for $20,000,
09:56or you can take a closer shot by the cloverleaf there for $2,000.
10:02But you'll have to do it while wearing this hashtag the panda mascot head.
10:06Do you want to go for 20?
10:08This is a tough shot.
10:09Or do you want to go for two with the mascot head?
10:13You're going to do half-court.
10:15Half-court.
10:16All right, bud.
10:16You got this.
10:18Take your time.
10:24You got one shot.
10:29Oh, my gosh!
10:31Yo!
10:32That was the closest anyone's ever got to this.
10:36Oh, my gosh!
10:37Do we see that replay?
10:39That's nuts.
10:40Oh, my gosh.
10:43Wow!

10:48You get this Tonight Show sweatshirt autographed by me that says you were here.

18:25My thanks to Kiki Palmer,

18:28Russ Wilson!
18:32Summerhouse, congrats.
18:33It's back.
18:34We're talking to Kiki after the break.
18:35Stick around, everybody.
18:36Come on back.
18:40That's why you stopped Instagram?
18:42Yeah, I want to mind my own business, dude.
18:44I'm sick of everyone else's business
18:46being my business.
18:47So I was like...
18:48Yeah.
18:59Our first guest does it all.
19:02She's a talented actor, singer, and Emmy-winning TV host.
19:07All episodes of her new show, The Burbs,
19:09premieres Sunday on Peacock.
19:11And a new season of Password returns this summer right here on NBC.
19:16Please welcome Kiki Palmer!
19:20Kiki Palmer!
19:35I love you, bud.
19:36Welcome back to the show, and thank you for playing Password with me.
19:39It's the best always when we do that game.
19:41I mean, right?
19:42The pressure was on us, though.
19:43We had to bring it on home.
19:44My reputation was on the line.
19:46I love Lindsey.
19:46I love Wes Wilson, but we had to take him down.
19:48They were cool.
19:49Happy New Year, by the way.
19:50Happy New Year, house.
19:51I haven't seen you since last year.
19:52I know.
19:52I haven't seen you since last year.
19:53Yeah, you look great.
19:54How's little baby Leo?
19:55Oh, my gosh.
19:56Leo is growing so much.
19:57I mean, you've known him since he literally popped out of me.
20:00Yeah.
20:00So he's like...
20:01I think he took his first steps on my chest.
20:03Literally!
20:04I was like, walk up, walk up.
20:05First season of Password, I think it was.
20:06He's so cute, man.
20:07Yeah, now he's talking a lot, and he's so sweet, guys.
20:10Like, he can literally, like, cuddle up to me and be like,
20:12I love you, mama.
20:13But also, he has this other side.
20:15Ooh.
20:16Well, he turns into a Marvel comic villain.
20:20Okay.
20:21What you do for me, mama?
20:23Really?
20:24You're bad, mama.
20:25You're the bad mama.
20:26What?
20:27Like, now, son, what's going on?
20:28I'm the good mama.
20:29What did I do?
20:30I just took your iPad.
20:32Yeah.
20:32That's a lot for a three-year-old, right?
20:34These babies.
20:35Look at this cute baby.
20:36Oh, my gosh!
20:37No, no, no, no, no, no.
20:38Oh, no, I love him.
20:40Look at you, though.
20:41You're so funny.
20:43But look at how fun you are.
20:44And he actually does the silly faces with me.
20:47I love him.
20:47It's the coolest thing, man.
20:48I love that kid.
20:49He's so awesome.
20:50He's so cute.
20:51My gosh.
20:51Oh, my gosh.
20:52If he ever wanted to get in the show business,
20:54would you support that?
20:55Yes.
20:56And I was thinking.
20:58Ah.
20:58Instead of doing the whole child actor thing,
21:01you know what's never been done, Jimmy?
21:02No.
21:03A child director.
21:05Ah!
21:06A little baby director.
21:08Could you imagine?
21:09He's 11 years old, directing Leonardo DiCaprio.
21:12I'm here for that.
21:14I can see that.
21:14If we start now, we start with little TikTok reels.
21:16Yes.
21:17Instagram reels, get his feet wet.
21:18Yeah.
21:19Show him what's up.
21:19By the time he's in grade school,
21:21he's doing sitcoms, multicam.
21:23Yeah, yeah.
21:23He's a talented kid.
21:24All right.
21:25Leo, I want to see you do that.
21:26Yeah.
21:26Baby director.
21:27The first baby director.
21:28I said it to you first.
21:29Uh, I have a photo here.
21:30You had a celebrity encounter recently.
21:32Oh, my gosh.
21:33I want you to talk to me about this,
21:34because here's you and former President Obama.
21:38Guys.
21:38Where?
21:39Where are you?
21:40What's going on here?
21:42So, I'm with my sister.
21:44Higher Ground, their company, him and Michelle,
21:46had a party.
21:47And so, I'm there with my little sister,
21:49my best friend, Lamar.
21:49And when I just tell you guys
21:51that I turned into a mumbling idiot,
21:53I was like, Mr. Obama, you know,
21:55it's so, so good to know you.
21:56And I'm saying everything you did,
21:57it was just so good.
21:58It was just so big.
21:59And we just love you.
22:00And it's just so great.
22:01And I just knew I sounded crazy.
22:03I'm like, why did I do that?
22:05I went back to them.
22:06I'm like, guys, he thinks I'm, I have issues.
22:10Because I was not having one coherent sentence.
22:14Jimmy, it was crazy.
22:15I was just so, you know,
22:16when you meet somebody, you're just so blown away.
22:18Do you remember anything he said to you
22:19or his voice?
22:20He said, my family's a fan,
22:22my wife's a fan, my children's a fan,
22:24I'm a fan.
22:24You keep on doing everything
22:26that you're doing, girl.
22:27Come on.
22:27I was surprised.
22:28Come on.
22:30That's cool.
22:32It was so awesome.
22:33I got to tell you, Jimmy,
22:34it was great.
22:35It was so cool.
22:36You get to do,
22:36I want to talk to you,
22:37but you do so many cool things
22:38and I always try to bring everything up
22:40every time I see you.
22:40But I'm like, I want to get into American Idol.
22:43Oh, yes.
22:44Talk to me about this.
22:45I love American Idol.
22:46It was so cool, man.
22:47I got a chance to go out there
22:48and mentor some of the top 20.
22:50And it was good.
22:51I mean, it was so cool to hear the singing.
22:53Obviously, there are some incredible people.
22:55It's still, the work,
22:55the show is still as good as it always was
22:57because these are people
22:58you'll never get a chance
22:59to really know or see.
23:00You know, we know certain singers and stuff,
23:02but it's like,
23:03that's just the tip of the iceberg
23:05of the kind of talent that's out there.
23:06Yeah.
23:06Also, I got a chance
23:08to hang out with Lionel Richie.
23:10No.
23:11Guys!
23:12That's my dude.
23:13Lionel Richie and me
23:14were kicking back
23:15with our feet up,
23:16sipping so much tea.
23:17I was hoping that the mics
23:18wasn't catching what we was throwing down.
23:20Really?
23:20And by the way,
23:21he was talking about himself
23:23and he was like, you know,
23:24and they was like,
23:24Lionel,
23:25and I said,
23:25now, wait a minute.
23:27Lionel?
23:27Wow.
23:28This whole time,
23:29you ain't been Lionel Richie?
23:31You been Lionel?
23:33So then I had to act like I knew.
23:35I was like,
23:35oh, Lionel.
23:36Oh, Lionel.
23:37Oh, Lionel.
23:38So me and Lionel
23:39are thick as thieves.
23:40Wow.
23:41That's my new bestie, y'all.
23:42Did you sing with him at all?
23:43You know what?
23:44He didn't drop one tune with me.
23:46I got to do that with him next.
23:47We got to do a song.
23:48He's the most fun human being.
23:50He's the most fun.
23:51I saw him in concert last year
23:52and he crushes me.
23:53Oh, my goodness.
23:54He just is so kind-hearted
23:56and we just was laughing
23:57and joking
23:57and hanging out.
23:59He's supposed to have me
24:00at the house soon.
24:00I'll let y'all know how it goes.
24:02Yeah, yeah, tell me.
24:03Let's talk about what's coming up
24:04this Sunday,
24:05the Burbs on Peacock.
24:07Dude, you're getting ready.
24:08Getting ready for the Super Bowl.
24:10Making your seven-layer dip.
24:12Put on the Burbs.
24:13The whole season's out.
24:14The whole season is out.
24:15Shout out to Seth MacFarlane
24:16and Brian Grazer
24:17and, of course, Celeste Huey
24:18for putting this together
24:19and giving me the opportunity
24:20to be a part of it.
24:21I mean, the cult classic,
24:22Tom Hanks,
24:23it don't get no better than that.
24:24No.
24:24So we're just taking elements of that.
24:26A couple of Easter eggs in there
24:27for the old school
24:28OG 1989 film fans.
24:30But also,
24:31we've made it our own,
24:32you know?
24:32Yeah, because you have
24:33Jack Whitehall.
24:34Oh, my gosh.
24:34Jack Whitehall.
24:35He is the bomb.
24:37I love Jack.
24:38He's so cool.
24:38And apparently, his dad, too.
24:40I got to meet the dad.
24:40I was going to say,
24:41was the dad on set?
24:42His dad wasn't on set.
24:43His dad's hilarious.
24:43His mom came.
24:44She's really funny.
24:44I don't know his mom,
24:45but his dad is hilarious.
24:47Yeah, he was the best.
24:48We had so much fun together.
24:49He's a talented guy.
24:50You know what I like about Jack?
24:51He's like,
24:51he just looks like
24:52he's just kind of so innocent
24:53and then he'll just drop
24:54some dark comedy
24:55and you go,
24:55oh, God.
24:56Yeah.
24:56He got some edge to him.
24:57Yeah, he does.
24:58You know what I mean?
24:59But you guys together
24:59would be great.
25:00Yes.
25:00We had so much fun on the show.
25:01I can't wait for people to see.
25:02They're such a cute couple,
25:03at least I think,
25:04but there's also something brewing
25:05because something ain't right
25:06with him in the show.
25:08That's right.
25:09You'll see it.
25:09Yeah, you'll see it.
25:11And you play kind of,
25:13it's like a cul-de-sac.
25:15It's a neighborhood
25:15and it's the burbs,
25:17the suburbs,
25:17and you're kind of
25:18a nosy neighbor,
25:19I would say.
25:20We got Paula Pell.
25:21Oh, my gosh, our girl.
25:23Yeah, you know Paula?
25:24They're not me,
25:25my favorite of all time.
25:25Why is she so funny like that?
25:27No, she's too funny, dude.
25:28She had...
25:28I actually have to walk away.
25:29She's too funny.
25:30She's too funny.
25:31Hurts my brain.
25:32Hurts my brain.
25:32My character, Samira,
25:33she's new in this town,
25:34but her husband,
25:35played by Jack Whitehall Rock,
25:37he's from this neighborhood.
25:38So they kind of move back
25:39to Hinkley Hills
25:40to get themselves settled.
25:42They're newly married.
25:43They just had a baby.
25:44And this is kind of them
25:45trying to find their way
25:46back into a new normal.
25:48And when Samira gets there,
25:49she realizes this town
25:51isn't what it seems.
25:52They keep saying,
25:53Hinkley Hills,
25:54the safest town in America.
25:56Anytime somebody
25:56got to keep saying that,
25:58it might not be that safe.
26:00Yeah, I know.
26:01So it kind of turns
26:01into this like, you know,
26:03whodunit type of vibe.
26:04And it was a lot of fun to film.
26:06You nailed it.
26:06I want to show everyone a clip.
26:08Here's Kiki Palmer
26:09in The Burbs.
26:11Okay, walk with me on this one.
26:12Hocus are on.
26:13Gary Wilson, retired doctor,

26:16a rotting house
26:17filled with ghosts
26:18and secrets.

26:20there's a rumor
26:20that Alison Grant's parents
26:22killed her
26:22and buried her
26:23in the basement.
26:24And then when I could
26:25project Gary,
26:26he said that his house
26:27had good bones.
26:28Who says that?
26:29Real estate agents,
26:31architectural preservationists.
26:33Dogs,
26:33if they could speak.
26:35Not the way
26:36he said it.

28:04Let's get right to it.
28:07You know what?
28:08I want to ask you about it.
28:09Fans have noticed
28:09that you deleted
28:10your Instagram recently.
28:11I wonder if there's
28:12a story behind that.
28:14It was a pretty
28:17instantaneous decision
28:18and I was scrolling,
28:20doom scrolling,
28:21and I saw a picture
28:22from the top
28:23of Mount Everest.
28:24Wow.
28:25And I was like,
28:26wow, this is beautiful.
28:27And then I stopped
28:27and I was like,
28:28wait, what?
28:29Why do I now know
28:30what that looks like?
28:31And it like pissed me off
28:32that that guy
28:33stepped over literal
28:34like bodies
28:36to get up there
28:37to see that view
28:37and now I was seeing it
28:39from my couch
28:40and it bothered me
28:41that I like
28:43had that image
28:43in my head now
28:44without any effort
28:46in that, you know,
28:47to earn that visual.
28:49And I was like,
28:50dude,
28:50screw this whole platform.
28:51You felt like you didn't
28:52deserve to see the top.
28:53I shouldn't know
28:54what that looks like, dude.
28:55The view from the top
28:55of Mount Everest.
28:57Is that not insane
28:58to anyone else?
29:00I just,
29:01I felt like that.
29:03Can you unsee it though?
29:04Can you unsee it?
29:05No, that's what I'm saying.
29:06I feel like that should have been,
29:07if you make it to the top
29:08of Mount Everest,
29:09like that should be yours.
29:10There were people that like,
29:11he literally stepped over
29:12bodies of people.
29:13That's all they wanted to see.
29:14Yeah.
29:15And now I'm sitting there
29:15going, huh?
29:18That's whack.
29:19That's,
29:19that's why you stopped Instagram?
29:21Yeah.
29:22I want to mind my own business, dude.
29:24I'm sick of everyone else's business
29:25being my business.
29:27So I was like,
29:30non,
29:31that's it.
29:32That's it.
29:32Non-consensual images
29:34on the Discover page.
29:36Stop showing me these things.
29:37Yeah, you don't even see anything.
29:38Felt like magic, dude.
29:39It felt like they were just
29:39showing me stuff.
29:41Whatever.
29:41That's why.
29:43Have you ever seen a movie
29:44or anything or?
29:45Yeah, but I asked to see it.
29:47You know?
29:48Oh, I see.
29:48I like pressed play
29:49to see the movie.
29:50I didn't ask to see that view.

29:55Yeah, yeah, yeah.
29:55Rude.
29:56Yeah.
29:56Absolutely.
29:57I always like to talk
29:58about your hobbies
29:59when you come on.
29:59You have very interesting hobbies.
30:01You once learned
30:02how to build stone walls.

30:15you've been up to lately.
30:16Oh, yeah.
30:16I've been backcountry skiing
30:19with my boy Eric
30:20at Wasatch Mountain Guides.
30:24Yeah, he's the man.
30:25Please change the channel
30:26if you feel like
30:27you don't deserve to see
30:28the...
30:30Yeah, I'm using this
30:31as Instagram now.
30:33Everyone look at it.
30:34Worse than Instagram.
30:35Yeah.
30:35You may never watch these skis.
30:36That's true.
30:37Yeah, yeah.
30:37Close your eyes, everyone.
30:38Close your eyes.
30:39Just imagine Gabriel skiing.
30:43I can reenact it.
30:45Where, where, where?
30:46I don't want you to reenact.
30:47No, no, no.
30:47I don't want you to reenact the skiing.
30:49Wait, what's happening here?
30:50Is there an antenna
30:50or something here?
30:51Yeah, that's at the summit
30:52of a mountain.
30:56So that's the...
30:57That gauges, like,
30:58weathers and temperature
31:00and stuff for them
31:01to, like, relay to
31:02avalanche conditions
31:03and stuff like that.
31:04Is this like Mount Everest?
31:05No, no.
31:06It's not.
31:07It's not.
31:08Slow down.
31:08Sorry, it's not Mount Everest.
31:10No.
31:10It looks similar,
31:12wouldn't you say?
31:13No, no, not at all.
31:14No one was dead.
31:16I didn't pass any bodies.
31:18Stop saying that people are dead.
31:20I'm in that headspace now.
31:23But, no, it was chill.
31:24I want to talk about
31:25The Night Agent.
31:27Okay, let's talk about
31:27your series.
31:28The Night Agent.
31:29This is the reason
31:29why you're here.
31:33I love it.
31:34You're great.
31:34Season two
31:36was streamed 14 million times
31:38in just the first four days.
31:39Come on.
31:40Congratulations.
31:42You do good work.
31:44You're fantastic.
31:45And you film all over the world.
31:46You do all sorts of crazy stunts.
31:48Your stunts...
31:49What?
31:49No, I just...
31:50Are you mad about something?
31:51No.
31:54I was thinking about that recently
31:56of like the benefit
31:57of being an actor
31:59of you get...
32:01You're shown a lot
32:02of appreciation
32:02and sometimes like
32:04the bad version of that
32:05is obsession
32:06and stalking
32:07and everything.
32:07But I was thinking
32:08about other jobs
32:09and I was like
32:10how the benefit
32:12that I get
32:13is people saying like,
32:14oh, I love your work.
32:15Yeah.
32:15Whereas if you're like
32:16a trash guy or something,
32:18like when he doesn't show up,
32:19you get mad at him.
32:20But when, you know,
32:21he does show up,
32:22no one says like,
32:22man, I love your work.
32:24So it's so...
32:25I was thinking about
32:26like the benefit
32:27of actually being good
32:28at your job
32:29and never hearing
32:30you're good
32:30at what you do.
32:31Yeah, I love that.
32:32And I was like,
32:32man, I get to...
32:35I get to...
32:37I get to hear like,
32:38hey, man,
32:38I love your work
32:39and that's not...
32:40Yeah, maybe tomorrow
32:41if you see
32:42your garbage person.
32:44Hey, thanks, man.
32:45Tell me,
32:45thanks for what you do.
32:46You do great work.
32:47I like that.
32:48Let me do that tomorrow.
32:49Yeah.
32:50You're starting the thing.
32:51You're starting the revolution.
32:52I want to show a clip.
32:54Here's Gabriel Basso
32:56in The Night Agent.
32:57Take a look at this.
32:58Did that...

34:04Our next guest can be seen at the Helium Comedy Club
34:09in Philadelphia February 16th,
34:12making her Tonight Show debut.
34:13Please welcome the very funny Rachel Williams.
34:23Hi!
34:26Thank you!
34:27Thank you so much!
34:29Thank you!
34:30This is such an exciting time in my life.
34:32My sister and her wife just had a baby!
34:35Yeah! Yeah!
34:37They didn't have sex.
34:38We just prayed.
34:40And she woke up pregnant, is what we tell my dad.
34:45My sister dated men her whole life,
34:47and then she fell in love with this incredible woman.
34:49And my parents struggled with it at first, which was great.
34:53It was great.
34:54Because they're some of the most liberal people I know.
34:56Growing up, they were like,
34:58love is love because love wins.
35:01And then my sister was like, meet Kimberly.
35:03And my dad was like, not like that.
35:07And I love my boomer parents.
35:09I hang out with them all the time.
35:12But I'm also in therapy.
35:14It's starting to really feel like, keep your friends close,
35:17but your enemies closer.
35:19And I'll tell you one thing.
35:20A boomer mom, she'll make you tough.
35:24Mine's like a gym teacher from the 70s.
35:26She'll look me dead in the eye and be like, no matter what you're going through,
35:30good or bad, it doesn't matter as long as you aren't fat.
35:37Now my grandparents, they were even funnier.
35:40They didn't believe in mental health.
35:42They didn't have syndromes or disorders.
35:43They just gave people nicknames.
35:46If someone was odd, my grandfather would be like, oh yeah, that's Sideshow Sally.
35:54I love how my grandmother was like, we didn't have these disorders when I was young.
35:58Now, come past my plastic covered couch and look at my spoon collection on the wall.
36:07Yeah, so I'm in therapy.
36:10I have a new therapist.
36:11I love her because she's older and more depressed than me.
36:14It's great.
36:15Sometimes I don't even know who the session is for.
36:19My last therapist was a Gen Z girl filled with hope.
36:22I couldn't do it.
36:23I couldn't.
36:24I love a Gen Z girly, but to have a girl younger than me doing better than me in life?
36:28Are you out of your mind?
36:31Every session she would log in, all smiles.
36:34What's been bothering you this week?
36:37You.
36:42So I've started saying affirmations.
36:44Those are tough.
36:46If you have any self-hate, because there's nothing like the follow-up voice in your head
36:50that makes fun of you after saying one.
36:52I mean, just today, back there, I was standing shoulders back, I am enough.
36:59And that little voice came through and was like, oh, are you enough, Rachel?
37:04Okay, forget it.
37:05Forget it.
37:07I ended up marrying a very sane, secure man.
37:11He's wonderful.
37:12He started playing golf this year, so it's over for us.
37:18I actually don't mind golf because I got to play with him once.
37:22Wives would hate golf a lot less if they got to see their husbands play.
37:26When I saw my husband tee up saying, this time's going to be different.
37:31Then I saw him shank the ball 40 yards into the woods.
37:35Yell at himself in the third person like, great job, Steve.
37:39Great job.
37:40Yeah, why don't you chop one of your balls off and see if you can hit that?
37:44Maybe your father would respect you then.
37:49We went through a bit of a rough patch two years ago.
37:51It was brutal.
37:52I mean, we were seriously considering getting a divorce.
37:55And then we looked into what it would take to get a divorce and decided, let's see if
37:59this blows over.
38:01Thankfully, it did.
38:02I mean, we got married really young.
38:04I'm from a family.
38:05As a woman, if you're not married by 25, elders start to panic.
38:09Like grandma will try and set you up with literally anyone.
38:12She'll be like, you should date Greg.
38:15And Greg is an openly gay man.
38:19And when you point that out, she's like, you're too picky.
38:24We ended up, my husband and I ended up going to couples therapy.
38:28Well, I loved it because I won every time.
38:31That's all couples therapy is.
38:33You're just arguing in front of a ref.
38:35Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
38:37There's a winner and a loser.
38:38Every session, she was like, point wife game.
38:42She taught us when communicating, use I statements instead of you statements.
38:48So now every time we argue, my husband will be like, hmm.
38:51I feel like I'm dealing with someone who is acting like a bitch right now.
39:02That was a crazy time in my life that year.
39:04Because, you know, none of my girlfriends are married, so I couldn't vent to them.
39:08My sister's only advice to me was, try women.
39:14My guy friends, they're the ones that surprised me.
39:17When they found out my relationship was on the rocks, they said really thoughtful things to me.
39:21Like, are you okay?
39:22Do you need any sex?
39:24Thank you guys so much.
39:25My name's Rachel Williams.
39:28Oh, my God.
39:30Oh, my God.
