Fred its called the ambulance factory. [ light laughter ] seth thats a terrible name. Give it up for fred armisen, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] moving on, republican california congressman Dana Rohrabacher has been staunchly defending the russian government against accusations they meddled in our election. In fact, he believes the entire trumprussia story is a farce. So what makes him so sure . Also, who the hell is Dana Rohrabacher . Its time for the checkin. [ ding ding ] [ cheers and applause ] seth now, you may have heard the news that congressman rohrabacher recently met with wikileaks founder julian assange. And then he reportedly tried to negotiate a deal with the white house to pardon assange in exchange for wikileaks handing over alleged evidence that would show that russia was not behind the hacked dnc emails. So why is rohrabacher taking this controversial stance . Well, hes been in Congress Since the late 1980s and has developed a reputation for being the most russiafriendly lawmaker, earning him the nickname putins favorite congressman. Although, i cant think of anything more haunting than Vladimir Putin saying you are my favorite. [ light laughter ] rohrabachers fascination with russia began early on and in a very strange way. In the late 1980s, he briefly went to afghanistan to spend time with local militants the mujahideen and their fight against the soviets. Yes, that is actually him right there. Rohrabacher has said it was there he realized his fight was against communism, not the russians who he came to admire. According to reports at the time, rohrabacher also got to know russian officials, including a then little know deputy mayor of st. Petersburg by the name of Vladimir Putin. Rohrabacher claims to have lost a drunken armwrestling match to putin in the early 90s at a bar in Downtown Washington after a game of touch football. That sounds like the beginning of a weekend that ends with lets never speak of this again. [ light laughter ] rohrabacher was apparently so russia friendly, that in 2012 according to reports fbi agents sat him down in the capitol and warned him that a russian spy was trying to recruit him as an agent of influence. And if youre a russian spy, rohrabacher does seem to be the perfect person to recruit. Hes a Senior Member of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs who consistently defends russia in congress. And, of course, hes convinced that the russiatrump story is all a fabrication. But before we take his word for it, lets look at what he believes about other things, like science. You know, half the world i dont know if you know this. Half the world, when they look at the moon, they see a man in the moon. But the other half of the world sees what . A rabbit in the moon. Again, i think the moon is close by and whatever we can actually get benefit out of going back there, we should. We dont know what those other cycles were caused by in the past. Could be dinosaur flatulence, you know. Or who knows . [ light laughter ] and what happened when the co2 was greater since then and now theres been many cycles of up and down warming. So with that said, i think that we weve had a great discussion today. Seth youve had a great discussion. [ light laughter ] you just basically suggested Global Warming was caused by dinosaur farts. [ laughter ] now that clip was from 2007, and rohrabacher later said that he was joking when he made that comment. But it doesnt look like hes changed his mind since then in terms of his skepticism about whether Carbon Dioxide is bad for human health. Which earned him this response from a democratic congressman. Regarding my friend from california in what he just said, if he thinks that Carbon Dioxide doesnt cause any human health problems, i invite him to put a plastic bag over his head and tie it tightly around his neck and see what happens next. [ laughter and applause ] seth now now a part of me thinks that rohrabacher may have already tried that. [ light laughter ] because it would help to explain this impromptu jam session he engaged reporters in during a tour of his office back in 2011. Over the years ive written a lot of songs that are sort of sort of political songs. You know, the sort of patriotic things and things like that. God bless america god bless our freedom and god bless the people who work every day god bless us all God Bless America the freest land of all there you go. [ light laughter ] seth would you believe hes only had negative 30 lessons . [ laughter ] look for that song on rohrabachers album, bumper stickers i saw at costco. [ laughter and applause ] seriously what is this guy smoking . Well, funny i should ask. Now, dont tell anybody i broke the law. [ light laughter ] actually, you know theyll bust down my door. You know, and take whatevers inside and use it for evidence against me. Theres definitely cannabis in there, and it makes sure that i can sleep now. Seth so much for the theory that weed helps you write great music. [ light laughter ] now rohrabacher was speaking to a group of marijuana advocates there, explaining that he had turned to medical marijuana to help with his arthritis pain. And although its legal in the state he represents, his outright admission was significant, because according to one close observer it marks the first time in at least several decades that a sitting u. S. Congressman has admitted to marijuana use while in office. So hes a weed loving, prorussia guitar player. Hes basically the guy who ruined every party i went to in college. [ laughter ] rohrabacher seems to be blazing his own trail when it comes to more than just marijuana, specifically when it comes to his dealings with russian officials and lobbyists. In fact, his story keeps overlapping with many of the key players in the current russia investigation. As the l. A. Times reported, when former Campaign Manager and current target of the mueller investigation, Paul Manafort, was working on behalf of a prorussian Ukrainian Political Party in 2013, he met with just one u. S. Politician rohrabacher. In what rohrabacher described as a nice little dinner. Somehow nice little dinner with Paul Manafort seems like mafia slang. Take him out for a nice little dinner somewhere by the river. [ light laughter ] and manaforts certainly not the only connection here. According to other reports, in april of last year, rohrabacher traveled to moscow and met with the same russian lawyer and lobbyist who we now know were at donald trump jr. s infamous meeting with Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort at trump tower last summer. Between that meeting, manafort, and his defense of assange, even some members of rohrabachers own party are wondering who hes really working for. Behind closed doors, House Majority leader Kevin Mccarthy joked, quote, theres two people i think putin pays rohrabacher and trump. Um when the comment came to light, mccarthy dismissed it as a joke. Seth and of course its a joke. There have to be at least 12 more people on putins payroll. [ light laughter ] jokes aside, the congressman should probably rely to u. S. Intelligence agencies to do their job without his interference. Because we all want america to remain whats the phrase im looking for . The freest land of all [ laughter and applause ] seth this has been the checkin. [ ding ding ] well be right back with bobby moynihan, everybody.

Did you feel good walking off that stage for the last time . I did. I did. I had such an amazing time there and then i was i got super sick on the last day, and it was crazy. But that that moment right there we were just standing there and then all of a sudden, tom hanks started whispering to alec, and they started coming towards me.

Right as i left, right as i was leaving, i pitched rupauls drag race junior. Seth uhhuh. [ laughter ] that seems like thats a perfectly viable sketch. I think so. I think thats right in the tender one wheel house. Seth yeah. I wish that one would have made it. And a very early one. I think i did it in my first year, was tall napoleon. Seth tall napoleon . Yeah. [ light laughter ] just thought he wouldnt he wouldnt be that mad if he was tall. Seth oh. [ laughter ] so just sort of i didnt really have a sketch. I just had a theme song, which was, hes tall tall napoleon hes not small. Any moreleon seth that seems weird. That seems like right up laurens alley. Yeah. [ laughter and applause ] seth this was the year i feel like a lot of people, the show got a lot of attention for its political stuff. There were some other sketches that were fantastic, that had nothing to do with politics. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Seth you were behind with others, i think the most memorable sketch this year, which was tom hankss david s. Pumpkins. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Seth david s. Pumpkins. There he is, right there. [ cheers and applause ] and its not i will say, watching it, you know, as someone who wrote for the show, sometimes you see sketches, and you think, oh, i wish i had come up with that. That is not what i thought. [ laughter ] no mostly just i just couldnt even imagine like, anything firing to ever bring me to this conclusion of a sketch. How did you come up how we got there is truly bizarre. Mikey day and streeter seidell. I wrote it with those guys. Seth two fantastic writers. Oh, the best. Mikeys a genius. Mikeys a very, very smart, smart guy but we were watching that video of the little theres a video of a indian guy dancing around and every once in a while he stops and the music stops. And we thought that was really fun. And we were like, lets write something where were dancing and then it was halloween and we said, theres no santa claus for halloween. So we just tried to were like, okay, so if we make this guy whose like a and were his side dancer. [ laughter ]e and then mikey was like, how about david pumpkins . I said, how about david s. Pumpkins . [ light laughter ] the rest is history. Seth it really is. [ cheers and applause ] Tom Hanks Tom hanks in between dress and air, not a fan of the sketch. Thought it was very bizarre, in between dress and air was like, hey i think Chris Hemsworth would make a great david pumpkins. Seth oh. He was hosting the next week. Seth the next host. Yeah.

Nintendo announced recently that the videogame character, mario, is no longer a plumber. Yeah. No longer a plumber. And hearing things like this always get me to thinking, you know, im getting older and sometimes i look around me and i dont even recognize the world im living in. [ light laughter ] things are changing every day and not always for the better. And its times like these that i like to take a moment to talk about how things were just a bit more simple a bit more simple, back in my day. [ cheers and applause ] seth so now our favorite videogame character is out of a job.

Codswallop back in my day, if a congressman wanted an inappropriate picture on their phone, they had the gumption and wherewithal to take it themselves like, Anthony Weiner. [ light laughter ] back in my day, your iphone couldnt recognize your face. Nope. If you wanted your face to be recognized, you had to spend hours wondering around a walgreens until finally someone said, hey, arent you seth meyers . [ light laughter ] and you screamed back at them, leave me alone im trying to shop in peace [ laughter ] back in my day, when we had hurricanes, kanye west would go on television and tell people that the president doesnt care about black people. Nowadays we dont need to hear that kind of thing, because we already know our president doesnt care about black people. [ cheers and applause ] heck, he ran on it, right, rusty . [ bark ] oh, right. Mexicans too. [ light laughter ] back in my day, we didnt have a Virtual Assistant named alexa. We had a real assistant named alexa. And she was always late and usually hungover.

Seth you i was very fred was very excited you were here tonight. Im excited. Hes in the movie, battle of the sexes. Seth there you go. And this is very exciting. [ cheers and applause ] we we can tell from the clip. Emma stone plays you in the film. Heres a shot. You guys were actually watching tennis together. I know, scary, isnt it . Seth well i wanted to ask, are you, because of your history and because of you being this legendary ten are you fun to watch tennis with . Terrible. Seth really . [ light laughter ] absolutely terrible. Seth why are you bad . cause i kind of commentate. You know, i dont have any filter. So, i like commentate the whole time im running. And i said to emma theres an empty seat over here. Let me go over there and sit so you dont have to listen to me. [ laughter ] and she goes, oh no. Oh no. I want you right here. I want you to talk to me right in my ear, cause i dont know that much, and i want you to sit right here. Poor thing. Afterwards, i think she went, oh, i shouldve let her sit over there. [ laughter ] seth now one of the things you believe about tennis is being a tennis player, is its not just, sort of the athletic skill, the technical skill, that one of the things you have to do is be an entertainer. Thats what we are. Seth yeah. You know that tennis court, thats our stage, just like in theater or what youre doing here, this is your stage. Now i always thought of it as our stage and our job its about the audience. If you give a speech, or what you do, its about you guys, its about the audience. My job is to connect with them. And so when they go home at night and they go, god, it was unbelievable. They connected. They want to go back. Lets go back and watch again. Seth and so you were very you were thinking about that on the court . Oh, always. Seth thats fantastic. When i was young. Oh yeah, i love it. I love movies, love theater, love dance. I love seth and were there could you feel when you had the audience in the palm of your hand, while you were out on the court . I never felt i ever had them in my palm of my hand, but i felt like we were connecting. Seth connectings good. You know, like sitting next to me going, can you believe this . This is unbelievable. Seth and when you decided to do this match against bobby riggs, what were you setting out to accomplish . Because i think as soon as you took it on, a lot of people put a lot of things on you, as far as what they thought you were trying to accomplish. What was your main thrust of your plan there . Well it was all about social change, trying to fight for equality and freedom for everyone. [ cheers and applause ] thank you. Thank you. They didnt they didnt hold up applause, did they . Seth no, no, we dont even have one of those, yeah. Im kidding. Im kidding, im kidding. No, because i understood it was about social change. Because when i was 12 i had an epiphany, and i played tennis one year and i wanted to be number one when i was 11, but at 12 i was daydreaming at the los angeles tennis club. And i noticed everybody who played had white shoes, white socks white clothes, played with white balls, and everybody who played was white. And i asked the question, wheres everybody else . And that was my moment of truth for my life and, you know, i just knew it. [ cheers and applause ] seth and are you do you feel good about where tennis is as a sport right now when you look out . When you watch the u. S. Open this year . Thats not the right question to ask. Seth okay. You know why . Seth why . Im such a pain. Seth oh yeah . Im a total pain in the backside and i totally am a perfectionist, so it always can be better. Seth okay, well thats good. I think thats a good way to look at everything right now, is that it could be better. Yeah, im always that way. Seth we cant be satisfied. You think . It could be better. Seth yeah, i think so, i think we agree on that. I want to ask about this as well. President obama, he named you as one of the two openly gay delegates to go to the sochi olympics, and then he gave you a medal of freedom. What was your what was it like to meet president obama . It was amazing. Receiving the president ial medal of freedom, first of all, its the first time a president s ever mentioned the Lgbtq Community and sexual preference, and i really had an honor to receive the president ial medal of freedom with also harvey milk posthumously. His nephew received it. He was there. So that was a first ever. Also i was the first woman athlete to ever to receive it, which was good newsbad news, because theres so many women that came before me that deserve it like althea gibson, babe dedrickson. Theres so many that deserve it. So many male athletes have been honored. So i really hope that shifts, but to be i love he understands me. And he saw the match the battle of the sexes when he was 12 and when i first met him when we went into the oval office, im like like its him. [ laughter ] you know how they have the two chairs everybody sits in so they can get all the photos . Seth yeah. Oh, no. I went over and i sat like this on the sofa. And hes looking at me like, what are you over there for . And im like, eee. [ laughter ] so we never had a photo and i knew he put it in the back of my mind. So as soon as we got up to leave, he goes, lets have a photo. The photographers there constantly, but i just felt so i dont know, i was just kind of overwhelmed with the whole occasion. But he said, you know, i saw the match when i was 12 and now that i have two daughters it really it changed my life. And i get these stories from the men all the time, now they have daughters. And sometimes they dont have to have daughters to change how their perception, how theyre going to look at women, how theyre gonna treat women. Have more respect. But women come up to me, and they just have they just gain so much confidence and they felt so empowered, and they asked for a raise the next day. Theyd been waiting ten years to have the guts to ask, cause girls are taught not to ask what we want and need. Cant do that. So it was like, and i said, more importantly, did you get the raise . Seth yeah. [ light laughter ] and you know what . Every single one of them told me yes. Seth oh, well thats fantastic. Its amazing. [ cheers and applause ] seth well thank you for everything that youve done. Thank you for everything you continue to do. Thank you. Seth what an honor to have you here tonight.
