You take it home. Ill buy your tv. [ applause ] but the big story right now is still president elect donald trump. He has been busy tweeting again. [ audience groans ] [ laughter ] thats right. He went on twitter yesterday to claim that he actually won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of illegal voters and that any recount will change nothing. [ light laughter ] speaking of nothing changing, trump won and still says the election was rigged. [ laughter and applause ] i dont understand. [ applause ] oh, well, this has a lot of people upset. I read that the secret service protecting donald trump might have to rent two floors of trump tower, forcing taxpayers to pay 3 million in rent back to trumps company. [ audience groans ] trump said that is absolutely not true and the rent is 4 million. [ laughter and applause ] whoever said that, that is a lowball. [ applause ] thats right.

I know jimmy ive never seen you guys be in a fight. You dont even because the scene doesnt even work like that. Its not great. I know. I think that the head creator of the character was so seemingly perfect that they had to, like, throw something at her, but i think they overcorrected. Clearly, we overcorrected. Jimmy you really went for it, man. Like whoa, what happened . [ laughter ] jimmy we had a thing. We had my top three characters that arent you and Lauren Graham on the show. And it was luke, it was kirk, and it was paris geller, of course, yeah. Did you have a did you have a top four Gilmore Girls characters that arent you . I sure do. I think that cesar is awesome.

I have to appreciate them. And then kirk as well. Jimmy i mean kirk is unbelievable. [ cheers and applause ] so, its it became a giant hit, so congratulations on this. A lot of fans were saying that after seeing some promotional photos you know what im about to say . Yeah, i think so. Jimmy they dont think you know how to hold things. [ laughter ] sure. Jimmy thats judging and lets just hear it from alexis. I think this is how someone holds flowers, and [ laughter ] i think somebody jimmy yeah, if you were, like, tossed them or something. Or, i dont know, i think thats fine. But then my favorite one is this is the best one. This is you holding a coffee mug. Like, how jimmy thats not normal. Do you understand that thats not normal. No one holds a coffee mug what happened . Well, mostly its not normal because its an oversized coffee mug. That coffee mug is almost as big as my face so i feel like i was set up to fail there somewhat. Maybe a little bit. Jimmy how would you hold that mug . This is normally sized, so this is no problem. I got it. [ cheers and applause ] i dont know. Jimmy well, i the four words i dont want to talk about, really, what they were. But right. We know we cant say. Jimmy you cant say what the four words were, but did you know what the four words were going to be . I did. I jimmy when .
