The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon
New York Mayor Eric Adams Indicted on Federal Charges | Cate Blanchett, Marcello Hernández, Nick Griffin | Thursday, September 26
[MUSIC PLAYING] [APPLAUSE] From Studio 6B in Rockefeller Center in the heart of New York City, it's a financial story. Give me some. [MUSIC PLAYING] My joint give me a kiss, taste one step, or fellow Hernandez, comedian, Dick Ritchie, and featuring these legendary roots crew. 2020, yeah! Here he is! Give me! [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [APPLAUSE] Thank you very much. I appreciate it. Enjoy yourself. Welcome, everybody. Welcome to The Tonight Show. You're here. [APPLAUSE] Thank you for watching. Well, big news today this morning, our mayor, Eric Adams, became the first sitting New York City mayor to be indicted. Yes, mayor Adams is accused of bribery, fraud, and corruption. It's always fun when the city mimics the exact plot of the Batman movie. [LAUGHTER] He said he's dying. [APPLAUSE] Yep, Adams is the first sitting mayor of New York City to be indicted at shocking when Rudy Giuliani heard that. He was like, that can't be, right? [LAUGHTER] Today, Adams insisted he's innocent and made it clear he has no intention of resigning. Then he said, unless someone wants to give me 100 grand to go away. [LAUGHTER] Maybe we'll talk about it. Yet today, federal agents searched the mayor's residence and out of habit when they drove past 5th Avenue, Trump dove behind the couch and yelled, hit the lights. Turn the lights off. Nobody's home. Speaking of the former president, Trump is now promoting his new collection of watches. They're selling for as much as $100,000 each. You can tell it's a Trump watch because the hands are tiny. [LAUGHTER] You can tell it's a Trump watch because if you buy two, they link together like handcuffs. [LAUGHTER] You can tell it's a Trump watch because if you try to set it to military time, it says, sorry, I have bone spurs. [LAUGHTER] That's right, a Trump watch. There's one for men and one for women that's set back 50 years. [APPLAUSE] Meanwhile, Trump also just started selling Trump coins that cost $100. In honor of the upcoming VP debate, he just launched yet another new collectible item. Check this out. You bought the Trump coin with my very beautiful face. Now complete the set with the new JD Vance coin. Each limited edition design depicts one of JD's proudest moments. The time he mistook a fist bump or handshake. The time he spoke in front of a sign that made it look like he was campaigning for Kamala. And of course, this timeless moment where no one recognized him at a donut shop. I'm really willing to welcome my president to see it. OK. The JD Vance remembered a coin. Order now. You won't regret it. At least not publicly. [APPLAUSE] Well, some business news due to people letting them out in the wild, Petco is going to stop selling rabbits. Petco, or as Trump calls it, the hottest restaurant in Springfield, Ohio, is going. You just pick everything on the menu. Get the Southwest Airlines stock is skyrocketing after laying out their plan to offer assigned seats, extra legroom, and red-eye flights. Yeah, they're really clashing it up. They might even start splurging for name-brand duct tape. [APPLAUSE] We have a great show. Kate Blanchett is here tonight. Marcella Hernandez is on the show. And we have great stand-up comedy for Nick Griffin. Stick around. We'll be right back. Well, thank you guys, everybody. Come on back. [MUSIC PLAYING] Welcome back, everybody. It is the end of the week, and that's usually when I catch up with some personal stuff. I check my inbox, I return some emails, and, of course, to send out thank you notes. And I was running a bit behind today. I thought, if you guys would mind, I'd like to write out my weekly thank you notes right now. Is that cool with you guys? [APPLAUSE] Jan Takes some thank you note, writing music, please. Thank you, Kamala Harris, for having a $100 million cash advantage over Trump, which is a lot of money, but apparently not enough to keep you from texting me for $5 every 10 minutes, because you need to have money. Thank you, Jellyfish, for being neither one of those things. [APPLAUSE] Ooh, that's scary. That's a good Jellyfish thing. Not quite Jaws, they can't sue us. Yeah. [MUSIC PLAYING] That was good. Yeah, boo. Jellyfish. Jellyfish. [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [LAUGHTER] Thank you, big lots, for filing for bankruptcy and starting your new life as a spirit Halloween. [APPLAUSE] Yay. Thank you, leaf flowers, for making my leaves my neighbor's problem. [LAUGHTER] Ooh, ooh. Thank you, mirrors, for being the original self-checkout machines. [APPLAUSE] [LAUGHTER] Ooh, that's nice. Thank you, tiny gourds, or as Kevin Hart calls you, pumpkins. [LAUGHTER] There you have it. [APPLAUSE] My thank you is Wyatt. We love this. We'll be right back with Caitlin Chen, everybody. Wyatt Kevin, Wyatt. [MUSIC PLAYING] [APPLAUSE] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [APPLAUSE] [MUSIC PLAYING] [APPLAUSE] [MUSIC PLAYING] [APPLAUSE] [MUSIC PLAYING] [APPLAUSE] [MUSIC PLAYING] Our first guest is a two-time Oscar winner, starring in the new film, Rumors, which opens in theaters nationwide October 18th. Joseph Stars in the new series, Disclaimer, which premieres October 11th on Apple TV+. Please welcome Caitlin Chen. [APPLAUSE] [MUSIC PLAYING] [APPLAUSE] [MUSIC PLAYING] [APPLAUSE] [MUSIC PLAYING] [APPLAUSE] [MUSIC PLAYING] [APPLAUSE] Welcome back to this show. This is the second best. No, I'm the second best. Thank you very much. You're always looking stunning. Oh, likewise. Thank you. Nice lapel mic. [LAUGHTER] Thank you very much. We're charting that. I was going to ask you about your fashion. Here's how I know that you're such a megastar, because you can rock utensils on red carpets. Oh, this is food. You're wearing-- I can play them. A spoon? Look at that. Is that a spoon jacket? Yeah, no, it's Ella Hodekova-Larson, who's a Swedish designer. I bet you knew that. Yes, of course. Yeah, no, she-- I'm wearing her right now. She uses a frown. Yeah. I got the fork line. Thank you. I don't want to see that. Yeah, it's OK. It's slightly uncomfortable. Yeah, it is a little painful. I see. Oh, sit down. She uses found objects, so belts, spoons. Yeah. I bent those with my mind. Oh, you're sitting. You're that talented. Here's another spoon fashion outfit. It's a little noisy, but it's-- Yeah, exactly. I think we have a video of you wearing this, because I was like-- I bet you the audio people were just going like, "I can't hear anything." I know. Whatever. That's-- [laughter] I mean, how fun is that? Come on. I have a real job. That's really cool, though. No. Is this her as well as a designer? That's her as well, yeah. You know, journalists ask you, you know, integrate questions. You just-- Just jiggle a little bit. Wiggle a little bit. Exactly. Is it difficult to wear this? Is it cold? Well, actually, what do you mean, doing? Yes. [laughter] No. Yes. Well, you wouldn't know. I wouldn't have any idea. No. But you wouldn't know from the-- Oh, yes, you wouldn't, because-- No, it's actually the spoon's heat up. And so you get a thermal layer between you and the outside world. So it's-- You're always onto something. Search and rescue missions. Yeah. You'll probably be using hodakovis design. You're such an interesting person. Thank you very much. Is that the end of the interview? Yes, it is. Thank you. Nice to see you. Keep playing trend, everybody. Take care. Thank you very much. That was my segue. It was my segue into another interesting thing I know about you. Oh, what? The second thing. [laughter] Is that-- I don't know them that much. You have a little mystique around you, but-- A little. A lot. Which we're going to dispel right here right now. A lot of chickens and pigs that are recent. I have chickens still. Yes. And I used to have pigs. Oh. What? Did you? No, actually. No. It's not what you think. I don't eat meat much. OK, perfect. So it was an exercise in vegetarianism. I thought if we had pigs, I would get the kids to bond with the pigs. And I would, if so, factor, turn my kids into vegetarians. And so my little one was a pig whisperer. He loved them. And then it was getting towards the end of their life. And I said, you know, they were called Benson and Hedges. Because my husband said, we're going to smoke them. [laughter] You know? No, we really worked hard on the vegetarian thing. And then the kids, in the end, you know, the pigs died. And we'd turn them into sausages. And they were on the-- it's awful. This is a terribly tragic story. You know, on Christmas. Why don't you tell us? Why won't we? And then we had the sausages on the table. And I said, kids, this is Benson and Hedges. And I went-- [laughter] No. And the kids said, they said, the pigs are off the top. And I thought, this is the moment. They're all going to be vegetarians. And I went, do we have any ketchup? [laughter] No, they want me to know of it. I want to taste hedges. Yeah. No, no, no. But what I think maybe, you know, they were slightly less desiccated. You know, when you go to the supermarket, you have no sense of what you read. Yeah. At least they did. And now they know. I was very distressing. But we have chickens who are very healthy, very well, very happy. Yeah. I read a weird story that said that you once hypnotized one of your chickens. I could hypnotize you. [cheering] You hypnotized me as soon as you-- How do you learn that? It's about going-- a friend of mine taught me how to do it. And I read a children's book in Australia. I think there's a lot of, you know, deep relationship with chickens. [laughter] No, I love my chickens very much. I can always speak chicken. Yeah, I love that. Next time I'm going to have you maybe-- Speak chicken. We'll just prove that, yeah, and hypnotize a chicken on the show. It'd be great. Great television, yeah. No, but I love them so much. I love them so much. I want to talk about your projects. Thank you again for coming on the show. Not my chickens? No, I already know about that. But let's talk about your limited series, "Disclaimer." This is-- I love this term, limited series. You know when they say a child is limited, or you're limited, it's like-- you're limited series. Yeah, no. I think it's a nicer way of saying-- Well, it was actually-- TV show, right? I mean, it's Alfonso Cuaron. And so, you know-- Alfonso Cuaron. I mean, Roma. He's the greatest. He's the greatest. He's the greatest. Oh, he's unbelievable. He's one of the greatest. Well, this got like a five-minute standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival. I think it was six and a half. Sorry. Who's counting? Who's counting? Apparently, people are. Yeah. You know, it really has-- You can stretch it out. Can you-- Oh, people can stretch it out. I mean, there's ways-- I've been on stage with people who know how to-- I don't-- I just run the other way as soon as people start clapping. Yeah, you get in there. Well, no. I mean, it's great. We were so grateful for the response, because it was really positive. Yeah. But it's a long time to stand. Six and a half minutes to stand and clap. Yeah, it's a standing clap. Yeah, I guess so. Yeah, I was never happy. I had that, you know, hand balm and, you know, moisturizer. Yeah. You're clapping too much. Yeah, exactly. But he wanted to really-- he wanted to make film or cinema for the small screen. Yeah. So it was a real-- Of course he could do it. He's never made serialized television before, so it was a real adventure. How do we-- what do we tell everyone what disclaimer is about? Well, you know what a disclaimer is. It says that, you know, it's like a-- we don't accept any responsibility. People living or dead don't resemble anyone, you know, who is in the thing. Yeah, of course. So this character I play, it was a journalist, a documentary filmmaker, who is-- an unassailable sense of, you know, authenticity and respectability. She receives this book that seems to be about her life that has a disclaimer that this is really about you. And so it's a hand grenade that's thrown into her life where this deep, dark secret that she's kept hidden from herself and her family comes back to sort of explode her life into bits and pieces. The fictional character actually is you. Yeah, it's not me. No, of course not. No. I'm totally upfront. Yes. I have no secrets. No. And Kevin Klein. I love Kevin Klein. I love Kevin Klein so much. I was at a restaurant once. I went there-- Because Kevin Klein was there. I heard he was there. He was really creeped out. He left. He split. Yeah. He hypnotized me on the way out. He-- no, I went there and I went to this restaurant by myself. Because I was at a hotel next door and I just went to this restaurant and I was there by myself. And he came over and he goes, "Hey, Jimmy." I go, "Oh, my gosh. Kevin Klein." He goes, "Yeah." He goes, "You okay? Everything all right?" I go, "Yeah. I'm just eating by myself." I go, "I'm here with my family and you're making a sad." [ Laughter ] You want to just come eat with us? I go, "Okay." He's a great guy. So I went and had dinner with Kevin Klein and his family. It was awesome. Oh, wow. Kids, everybody, yeah. Well, that was a fool. Do you do that all the time? You just go by yourself and hope to meet famous people who you admire? That's how we met. [ Laughter ] Can we talk about your new movie, Rumors? This is a totally different thing. Oh. This also got a standing ovation. It did. Everything you do gets standing ovation. You have to stop doing that. I've got to buy so much hand cream. But this one, tell everyone what this one is. This is a totally different thing. I know it's Guy Madden. If you don't know his work, he's one of the most influential kind of underground Canadian filmmakers who works out of his garage in Winnipeg. But he's made this film about the G7. And every year they meet in, you know, a different location and have a cultural experience in the theme in order to solve the world's crises. Climate change, anyone. Global displacement, you know, and they come up with these Pat responses. So it's satirical without even doing anything about it. But the theme of this particular one is regret. And I said to him, why is it called Rumors? And then he started talking about this Fleetwood Mack album. Absolutely. You know, where they all broke up. Yes. And every single song was about, you know, a regret and a fact that, you know, an undisclosed kind of terrible tragedy in a relationship. Yeah. So he used that. Like every single member of the G7 is going to retire in the movie. And they all had these regrets and a lot of them are sexual. So, yeah, there we go. It's smart. It's like an episode of Stevie Doo. It's funny. It's everything weird. Yeah. Yeah. K-Plant, Chad, everybody. Rumors. Opens in theaters October 18th. And disclaimer, premieres October 11th on Apple TV Plus. Cigarette. Oh, my. Oh, my. I'm living in my own town. Look at you. I'm just living in your own mind. I'm just living in your own life. I'm trying to try to kill it, but I won't die. I'm just living in my own life. I'm just living in my own life. Our next guest is a very funny comedian who you know from Saturday Night Live. Season 50 kicks off this weekend on NBC and Peacock with host Gene Smart and musical guest, Jelly Roll. Please welcome Marcelo Orlando. Marcelo, welcome back to this show. This is dope. Please don't ever change. You are unbelievable. Of course, not only hilarious. Only the best for you. Last time you came on the show, you brought me a bottle of champagne. Yes, and this one says, the first one said tonight, show numero uno. And this one says tonight, show numero dos. Oh, wow. That's a good vintage. Yes. numero dos is a good vintage. Because after uno comes dope. Yes, of course. Congratulations. Thank you very much. Salud. Salud. Delicious. Delicious. Oh, my gosh. You look fantastic. Is this what happens when you become a full-fledged cast member now? Well, congratulations. Thank you very much. Thank you. Yes. It's my second time here, so I thought I'd be a little more comfortable. Yeah, you really are. Last time you were here, a little more comfortable. More comfortable, yeah. Last time you were here, your mom came with you. Oh, yes. Your beautiful mom. Oh, yes. She was actually in the audience. We cut her. Oh, my God. Yes. Look at her. Oh. Yeah. She actually, you know, she feels like she's, like, coming to too many things. She's been telling me. She's like, I think I'm, like, imposing a lot. So this time I didn't bring my mom, I actually, uh, I brought my best friend, San Diego. Oh, San Diego's here. Where's San Diego? Yes. Hey, San Diego. Sorry. Can, can the camera, can the camera pan over next to San Diego? Who's sitting next to it? Oh, I don't know. Yeah. Who is that for? I have no idea. Oh, my gosh. It's suspicious. That's super concerning. Yeah. That looks a little bit like your mom. Anyway, I don't know who it could be. Hey! Oh, my God. [ Cheers and applause ] [ Laughs ] She's cute. Come on. You have to stop. Uh, I must be stopped. My son, I wanted to ask you about your summer. You had some time off from "Saturday Night Live." I heard you -- where would you go? Dominican Republic? Uh, yes, yes. I went to the Dominican Republic and the -- you have to go to the Dominican in the summer, James. Oh, thank you. Something else. You have to go, yeah. The people, the music, James. The music, James. It's -- oh. I noticed something this summer. What? Um, you know, I feel like a lot of our music, Latin music, it's about when you lose a woman, you know? You lose a woman you sing about her. And I found a big difference between when a Latin guy sings about losing a woman and when an American guy does it. When an American guy sings about losing his woman, he seems very confused. He doesn't know what happened. When an American guy loses his woman, the song is always, "Where are you?" [ Laughter ] "What happened?" [ Laughter ] [ Speaking Spanish ] I know it's likely what happened and I wish I could apologize. [ Laughter ] [ Cheers and applause ] Please give me the opportunity to apologize. [ Laughter ] That's so funny. It's lovely, James. Yeah, it is great. You also went to Paris for the Olympics. Oh, James, you have to go to Paris in the summer. Yeah, I know. You have to visit. You have to visit. Here's you in Mikey Day. Really, fitting the part there. Oh, yeah. [ Laughter ] The berets, everything. Oh, my goodness. The posture even. I like to embrace the culture, James. [ Laughter ] Yes. How was it? It was lovely. You know, I used to be -- I had an epiphany in Paris, James, because I love the people and this lovely man came up to me and he said, "What is your name?" And I said, "Marcello." And then he said, "What is your last name?" And I said, "Arnandes." And then he said, "Wow. I love narcos." [ Laughter and applause ] Wow. Wow. That is very nice. They love us. That's very -- I love narcos. [ Laughs ] You actually got to hang out with Snoop Dogg or on the Olympics. Oh, God, you have to see Snoop Dogg in the summer, James. I know you have to. You have to. In the summer, you have to see Snoop Dogg in the summer. Unbelievable. There's you in Mikey and Snoop. [ Laughter ] How was Snoop doing? He's unbelievable. Everything he says, you're like, "You should write that. That should be in the song." He said to me, which was crazy. He goes, "Hey, tell Lauren to cut me in or cut it out." [ Laughter ] And I was like, "Yes, I will tell Lauren." Yeah, I'm definitely going to tell Lord. I will cut you in or cut. What does that mean? But I love it. It's a bar. He was a star. He was a star. Yeah, exactly. Let's talk about "Star Alive." It's happening. It's happening Saturday. Come on. [ Cheers and applause ] Season 50. It's a big season. Yes. Gene Smart. Oh, my God. Gene Smart is brilliant. She's unbelievable. It's super fun. Jelly Roll. Jelly Roll. Yeah. And I heard rumors there might be some surprise guest stars. Listen, you just -- after the summer's over, you have to watch Saturday night. Yeah, yeah, yeah. After the summer's over. And you're a full-fledged cast member now. It's crazy. Marcello Hernandez. It's crazy. Come on. [ Cheers and applause ] Buddy, you're crushing it. It's nuts. You're crushing it. And I will be watching you as your mom will as well. Yeah. And we will be rooting for you. Crush it this weekend. Thank you so much. I love it when you come by. Thank you. Let's make it trace. Thank you. Marcello Hernandez, everybody. Check out Saturday Night Live!

I had a homeless guy tell me to hang in there today. [ Laughter ] I think it's my face. Sometimes my face doesn't look like it's having a good time. [ Laughter ] I got disappointed two weeks ago when it's stuck. [ Laughter ] Some people are happy all the time. Never been around that energy. Yeah, that's not good either. [ Laughter ] They smile with their whole body. Oh, baby. [ Laughter ] Are you good? Good. It's like they swelled a clown. [ Laughter ] I swelled a CVS employee. [ Laughter ] [ Applause ] Have you been in CVS? Yeah, what is going on in there? They're not trying very hard. Maybe they're tired, but there's energy drinks all over the store. [ Laughter ] And I understand it's probably not a fun job. You know, it probably doesn't pay very well. I wouldn't be any better at that job than they are. But sometimes you really do need help in CVS. You've got to find the guy with the key to get the ice cream or the razors. [ Laughter ] And I see the guys right there. He's got the red shirt on and says CVS. And he sees me, but he's got that look like, "Don't do it, man." [ Laughter ] CVS doesn't have a motto, but if they did, it would be, "No." [ Laughter ] [ Applause ] I shouldn't make fun of CVS. I should focus on myself, right? That would be the adult thing to do, work on my own problems. I'm trying to do better. I'm trying to be more positive this year.
