So, i finally broke the silence with my doctor about what i was experiencing. He said humira is for people like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohns disease. In clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. And many achieved remission. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. If youre still just managing your symptoms, talk with your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, remission is possible.

Jimmy but this is this is about a hockey goon, a a hockey player. Hockey enforcer, yeah. Thats right. Jimmy yeah, thats a good name for it. Yeah. Yeah. The sort of, one of the oddest jobs in professional sports is a guy on, i mean, kind of being worked out of the nhl. But, yeah. Theres a guy on every hockey team, used to be, whose job was just to fight. And seems to be pretty Fertile Ground for drama and comedy. And im slightly biased, because i adore the movie we made.

And i was like, this this is it . This is what im working towards . Id much rather read comics in my bedroom. So uh, yeah. Jimmy yeah. And be a fan, and root for, and watch hockey. Thats exactly it. Thats exactly that. I realized at a certain point that, you know, just cause youre not good at sports, means you can still doesnt mean you cant enjoy them. And so, ive leveled out.

Making her tonight show debut, please welcome Candice Thompson [ cheers and applause ] this is so exciting to be here, you guys thank you. [ cheers and applause ] yes. Yes so, 2017 has actually started out really great for me. I found out that i have a a peeping tom. [ light laughter ] yes, that is correct. That is a guy who has been outside of my window watching me without my knowledge. And i found out about this. You know, i called my friend immediately and she was like panicking, oh, my god, what are you going to do . What are you going to do . And i was like, well, nothing. This is actually the healthiest relationship i have ever been in. [ light laughter ] like he is loyal. [ laughter ] he shows up at the same time every night. [ laughter ] says very positive things about my body, you know. I think im going to make this peeping tom thing work. What does it say about me that ive been working out more since i know hes been watching me . [ laughter ] what does that say about me that ive reviewed my gym membership . Look, i got to keep these abs tight, cause i dont want to come home and hes at the neighbors window because thats just that is rejection. [ applause ] what are you looking rhonda for . [ light laughter ] then i got to have a talk with rhonda. Excuse me, rhonda, i just want to let you know that youre just his side peep. [ laughter ] right. He might come dabble over at your window when he gets lonely, but he always comes back to me. [ laughter and applause ] thats my man. I have a very hard time dating, because i have a great father. [ laughter ] you dont normally hear that, do you . What you normally hear is women complaining about how hard it is to date when they dont have a good father. Because they dont have that role model to look up to and they dont know how guys are supposed to treat them. But on the flip side, when you have a great father, you know exactly how youre supposed to be treated and it stinks. [ light laughter ] because now you have standards. And every guy lives in the shadow of my amazing father. And just to give you an idea of what im talking about, my father is so great that he has never let my mom pump gas. True story. True story. [ cheers and applause ] yeah. Theyve been together for 40 years. And in 40 years, Joyce Thompson has never touched a gas pump. [ light laughter ] meanwhile, im dating guys that siphon gas out of my tank. [ laughter and applause ] yeah. Me and my sister are both very single and it is my dads fault for being too perfect. You know, he just had to come home every night, didnt he . He just had to come home every night and pay the bills and love us and stuff. You know . Like what are you doing . You know . My friend, debbie, she had a a terrible father growing up and shes been unhappily married now for six years and that could have been me [ laughter and applause ] no. No. My father had to drink alcohol in moderation. [ laughter ] hes selfish. I grew up in a twoparent household, which i dont like because people expect you to succeed. [ light laughter ] yeah, its a lot of pressure. Its actually gotten to the point when i envy my friends who dont have fathers, because they get to mess up a little bit. You know . My friend debbie that i mentioned, who didnt have a a father growing up, every little thing that she did, everyone was so impressed by it. Candice, can you believe debbie got her g. E. D . [ laughter ] can you believe it . It is a miracle, praise jesus. You know she doesnt have a a father. [ laughter and applause ] meanwhile, i come home with a a fouryear degree, come home to all types of disappointment. A bachelors degree. With all of your parents . [ laughter ] what are you doing . You should have been an astronaut lawyer. [ laughter and applause ] get it together. Its a waste of parents. [ laughter ] now i am mixed. Both my parents are black and native american. That is correct, black and native american. And apparently, when the two most oppressed races unite, this child just comes out looking white. [ laughter and applause ] thank you. That actually is the recipe if you go on pinterest. [ laughter ] but the one thing that ive always wanted that ive never gotten throughout life is the nod. And if you dont know what the nod is the nod is when a a black person walks into a a room and makes eye contact with the only other black person in the room, something magical happens. And it looks Something Like this. [ laughter and applause ] thats the nod. You guys have been fantastic. Ive been Candice Thompson. Thank you. [ cheers and applause ] jimmy oh, my gosh side peep.
