To a black athlete kneeling. [ laughter and applause ] [ cheers and applause ] President Trump yesterday called for a boycott of the nfl as players refused to stand for the National Anthem. Dude, youre going after the nfl . Thats the most conservative league in sports. The owners their owners donated millions to your campaign. Thatd be like trying to fire your attorney general, even though hes the most conservative guy in the world, who was your first supporter in the senate and oh, my god you did that too. [ laughter and applause ] donald, why . Why do you antagonize everybody who loves you, you are not good at this. [ light laughter ] after condemning nfl players for kneeling during the National Anthem this weekend, President Trump, today, tweeted his support for nascar, said trump, oh yeah, im really in to racing, i guess you could say [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] Melania Trump this weekend, took her first solo trip abroad as first lady, and everything was going great until secret Service Found her and brought her back. [ laughter and applause ] no me . Im lemania prump. [ light laughter ] german chancellor Angela Merkel yesterday, won her fourth term in an election, and heres a picture of her celebrating. [ laughter and applause ] according to politico, President Trumps soninlaw and Senior AdvisorJared Kushner used a private email account to correspond with other administration officials. In his defense, its always the same message. [ laughter and applause ] those things are expensive. Theyre expensive to replace. [ light laughter ] new Research Shows that new york city is the most popular city in america to have a threesome. [ cheers ] when asked why i think anyone who cheered has not had one. [ laughter and applause ] i think if you cheered that news twosomes and lower.

[ cheers and applause ] ladies and gentlemen, we have a fantastic show for you tonight.

[ cheers and applause ] and she is one of the stars on nbcs fantastic show, this is us, chrissy metz, is joining us for the first time tonight. [ cheers and applause ] and we are going to have music from a fantastic singer songwriter ruston kelly is on our show. [ cheers and applause ] im so excited to hear him do his thing. Before we get to all that, the Trump Administration is dealing with crises both natural and of its own making. From hurricanes to a series of scandals involving cabinet members. So, naturally President Trump spent the weekend attacking athletes for peacefully protesting police brutality. For more on this, its time for a closer look. [ cheers and applause ] seth tensions with north korea over its Nuclear Program are escalating and theres currently, an urgent humanitarian crisis in puerto rico, where more than three million american citizens are currently without power after hurricane maria. So President Trump decided, what are nation needed most, this past weekend was one more [ bleep ] thing for us to deal with. President donald trump says, athletes who take a knee during the National Anthem should be fired. It all started on friday, when President Trump went on a tear during a rally in alabama. Heres a reminder of what he said, and, i should warn you, some, especially young ones in the room are going to find this language offensive. Wouldnt you love to see one of these nfl owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, just say get that son of a bitch off the field right now, out, hes fired. [ cheers and applause ] hes fired seth lets just take a step back and consider how embarrassing it is, that news anchors now have to introduce comments from the president by warning little children to leave the room. [ cheers and applause ] donald trump donald trump is our first nc17 president. [ light laughter ] and its not even a good nc17 movie. Trump is basically the show girls of president s. [ audience ohs ] trumps president ial library is going to be in the back of the video store where they keep all the pornos. [ light laughter ] youre going to have to enter through a beaded curtain. [ light laughter ] you guys got the state of the union back here . [ laughter and applause ] trumps unhinged rant only got worse from there, when he bizarrely suggested that nfl ratings were down, because people would rather watch him. The nfl ratings are down massively. Now, the number one reason happens to be that they like watching whats happening on you know, with yours truly. Seth thats right. In Donald Trumps mind, people are turning off nfl games, gathering their friends and ordering pizza to watch an out of shape blow hard shuffle around like he got separated from a tour group. But [ cheers and applause ] but when you think about it, trump is better than the nfl because with trump, you get all of the concussions with none of the hitting. [ laughter ] trump talks like he just got his bell rung, someone should always be checking his eyes with a pen flashlight. How many fingers am i holding up . Three million illegal voters. This guys done for the day. [ laughter and applause ] this guys done for the day. Trump then went on to claim that the other reason ratings are down is that viewers are turning off games when they see players kneel during the anthem. But you know whats hurting the game more than that . When people like yourselves turn on television and you see those people taking the knee when theyre playing our great National Anthem. [ audience boos ] seth sorry, what . [ light laughter ] what was that hand motion . Can we see that again . [ light laughter ] does he turn his tv off by stabbing it . [ laughter and applause ] or is that just him poking his butler to make him change it. I dont like this anymore, turn it off, jeeves [ laughter and applause ] very well, sir, very well. Trump then doubled down on his claim about the ratings and attendance. Tweeting over the weekend, if nfl fans refuse to go to games until players stop disrespecting our flag and country, you will see change take place fast. Fire or suspend. And by asking fans to boycott the league, trump was attacking the pocket book of many who had used their pocket books to help trump. Mr. Trumps criticism lead to sideline demonstrations yesterday at stadiums across the country. During the anthem, players joined arms, sat, or knelt. Even redskins owner, dan snyder, a trump supporter joined in. Shahid khan the leagues only muslim owner and a trump supporter locked arms with his team, the jacksonville jaguars. New England Patriots owner bob kraft who gave mr. Trump a super bowl ring and contributed to his Campaign Says he was deeply disappointed by the president s comments. Seth he gave trump a super bowl ring and now trump is attacking the nfl. This is a reminder that supporting trump is a lot like robbing a bank. Just when you think you got away with it, the dye pack explodes. [ explosion ] [ applause ] by now, it should be clear to everyone who donald trump is and what he represents. When black athletes peacefully protest racism and police brutality, trump has no trouble summoning his outrage, but when White Supremacists march with nazi flags and confederate flags through the streets of an american city, he equivocates and then defends them. But trump wasnt content to feud with just one massively popular Sports League this weekend. He decided to tangle with the nba as well, after seeing a fox and friends segment on steph currys decision not to go to the whitehouse with the golden state warriors. Trump saw that and tweeted, going to the white house is considered a great honor for a championship team. Stephen curry is hesitating therefore, invitation is withdrawn. [ light laughter ] but this prompted a response from lebron james himself, who tweeted at trump, you bum. Steph curry already said he aint going, so therefore, aint no invite, going to the white donald trump a bum . Donald trump a bum . Bum is such a great old timey sports insult. [ light laughter ] he talks about the president the way guys in fedoras used to talk about a 42yearold overweight boxer, hes a bum. [ light laughter ] there were so many memorable responses to the president s comments this weekend, but if you were angry and frustrated, you might have found some catharsis in this tweet, from Buffalo Bills running back, lesean mccoy, who wrote, its really sad, man, our president is an ass[ bleep ]. [ cheers and applause ] and i have to say the most devastating part of that is the ellipsis, you can almost see mccoy tensing his fingertips and going, hmm, how shall i put this, ah, i know, accurately. [ light laughter ] because you think hes gearing up for a longer rant, and then he just calls the president an ass[ bleep ]. [ light laughter ] thats like sending a friend a text that says, i have something very important i need to tell you. And then typing for ten minutes so all they see are dots and then following up with, you suck. [ light laughter ] trump, of course, only dug in after that, obsessively tweeting over the weekend about sports, despite tweeting not once about the crisis in puerto rico. On saturday he wrote, if a player wants the privilege of making millions of dollars in the nfl, or other leagues, he or she should not be allowed to disrespect our Great American flag. Okay, first of all, its not a privilege, the players are the sport, and without them, there is no league. Theres a reason directv has a red zone channel and not an owners box channel. And second, it wasnt just athletes protesting police brutality, who stood up against trump this weekend. He also earned harsh rebukes from football analysts, who arent exactly known as radicals. What would you say to the president about all this stuff . I would say he should apologize. Theyre not s. O. B. S. Theyre smart, thoughtful guys. When i heard the comments, i was so disappointed because i believe the comments are completely contradictory to what the flag represents. Seth there was even this comment from trump supporter, rex ryan. I supported donald trump, you know, i sat back and when he asked me to introduce him at a rally, you know, in buffalo, i did that. [ light laughter ] but im reading these comments and its its appalling to me. Seth oh, so you supported trump and then he let you down . Better cover your eyes. [ explosion ] it will go off. [ laughter and applause ] look, these athletes arent just speaking for themselves, theyre using their platform to call attention to Racial Injustice and speak out for others and here now to use her platform to do the same, late night writer, amber ruffin. [ cheers and applause ] yay thanks, seth fool, you cannot win a twitter war against black people. What is wrong with you . [ light laughter ] i woke up on saturday and heard, trump is attacking black people. And i was like, he is . And then they were like verbally. And i was like, oh, thank god. [ light laughter ] trump said, when people kneel for the National Anthem they should, kick that son of a bitch off the field. You know someone is racist when they dont even want black people in their field. [ light laughter ] and, for the record, i would take a knee in a second unless a black lady was singing the National Anthem, because that is too dang long to be on one knee. [ laughter ] then trump disinvited steph curry to the white house after he said he wasnt going. Thats like me saying, taye diggs, you can never come over to my house. He wasnt coming over in the first place [ laughter and applause ] taye, this was just a joke for a television show. Please come to my home any time you like. If my husband answers the door, dont worry, he knows of our arrangement. [ light laughter ] i get taye diggs and he gets an hour of silence. People are on twitter talking about how the players are ungrateful. There is not enough time to unpack why that is a gross thing to say to a black person. Also how are black people ungrateful when you called the white house a dump. Dont nobody want to eat at your dump with you. [ laughter and applause ] also, no athlete wants to have dinner with you because no one wants to eat whatever it is you eat. Because maybe its the food you eat that makes you look like that. [ cheers and applause ] you guys, this is about racial inequality. Look, if you have a problem with black people loudly protesting and silently protesting, then what you have a problem with, is black people. What is your ideal form of black protest, write down our complaints, put them in a bottle and throw them in the [ bleep ] ocean . Would you like it if our complaints were mournfully sung in an old negro spiritual . If he keeps on a tweeting ima going to be pissed [ cheers and applause ] oh, my god, that does make me feel better. Look, let me be clear about what is happening here, trump is trying to make sure to let black people know that if we dont fall in line, we will be punished. Well guess what . If slavery didnt break us, this idiot certainly cant, you raggedy fool [ cheers and applause ] back to you seth [ cheers and applause ] seth amber ruffin everybody [ cheers and applause ] this weekend was in many ways the perfect distillation of trumps presidency. Feeding his base racial and cultural resentments, in order to keep them on his side, as his team of corrupt authoritarians tries to swindle hard working americans out of their health care. Or, you know what . To quote lesean mccoy, our president is an ass[ bleep ]. [ cheers and applause ] this has been a closer look. Well be right back with jim parsons, everybody [ cheers and applause ] announcer for more of seths closer looks be sure to subscribe to late night on youtube.

Seth so, you know, youve been here before. Youve been in this building hosting snl before. Yeah. Seth so but those are not what you feel nostalgic for when you come here now, because you got married upstairs . This is now my church. Seth yeah.

I did well, this is my thank you. This is my first time back in this building since seth oh, wow. I think, since i got married and we drove in today and they kind of made a joke.

[ laughter ] some of you just come and you get married and leave. Yeah. But always she was like whoever brought me in, she was like, oh, im sorry its not glamorous.

Seth and its a beautiful for those who havent been up there, its a gorgeous view of new york. Yes. Seth did you have did you luck out with the view . Rained all day. Seth really .

If you havent been, you must go. Seth you must [ light laughter ] it really is fantastic. Seth and theres a celebrity wedding there every night. Thats what they sell it on. Is that true . Seth no. Oh. [ laughter ] seth so congrats. Last time i saw you, it was very recently. Yeah. Seth just over a week ago, i saw you backstage at the emmys. Yes, thats right. Seth did you have a fun time . You were with your your Young Sheldon . I was with iain, the Young Sheldon. Seth yeah. Yeah. I had a great time there. Ill tell you what, its very to go through an experience like that with a 9yearold. Its very funny to do anything in this business, that youve been doing for a while, and suddenly have a child with you. Seth yeah. [ light laughter ] the questions change a little bit. Everyones attitude changes a little bit. Like, we were backstage and the three girls girls. The three women from 9 to 5. How awful. Seth yeah. [ laughter ] jane fonda, lily tomlin and dolly parton. Seth the girls the girls [ laughter and applause ] they were about to go on to do their thing and we were waiting to do our thing. And i had met jane briefly once, and lily a little bit. Ive never met dolly. But enough to kind of go, hi, and thats just how adults are i am, backstage. Not the kid. They were hes like, hi, ms. Jane hi, ms. Lily. And theyre all over him or whatever. And i was like, this is so unique to get to spend time with then we went to the green room and somebody is like, who is sean spicer talking to . Talking to the kid from Young Sheldon. [ laughter and applause ] i was like, you are incredible i did not ask him what they talked about. I didnt want to get into it with him. Seth yeah. Who knows who he voted for. [ laughter ] seth and then i saw i ran into you, iain and Billy Eichner backstage. Thats right, thats right. Seth but billy told me wait a minute, did we speak . Seth did you and i speak . Yes. Seth well, whens billys around, i mean, he does most of the talking. [ laughter ] but i remember billy just said, hi. [ talking over each other ] i dont know that seth and i said, hi. Youre probably right. Thats really funny. Seth but billy said im old sheldon, which i liked. Oh. Seth that was his [ light laughter ] you and then is this true about iain, that ive heard his mother makes him wear tap shoes . No, no, no, wait a minute. Lets. Lets him. So iain would wear tap shoes all day every [ light laughter ] you have no idea. Seth gotcha. [ laughter ] i had heard about these, and then when we shot the pilot over the summer, his mother kept in contact with me, and iain wanted to send, like, little video messages like, hi, mr. Jim. Which seth so calls everybody mr. And their first name . You will be mr. Seth if he comes on this show. Seth i mean, for the first season but if this shows a hit, well see what he calls us. Thats true. [ laughter ] thats very true. Calling his private jet. Seth jay, jim jam, how are you, brother . [ light laughter ] so he some message was it was him going through the airport. They were at baggage claim, they had landed back home. And they were like, sorry, we miss you, whatever. And i hear [ laughter ] im like, what is going on . She goes, oh, i let him wear his tap shoes. And hes in the airport, you hear him but then we saw each other in new york later, and shed said there she always lets him wear tap shoes in new york, cause he wants to. And she can always hear him so she never loses him. Seth yeah. She says, wheres the tap . The tapping stopped [ laughter ] seth no, exactly. If you dont let him its not a bad thing. Seth yeah. He wasnt wearing them at the emmys. Next thing you know hes hanging out with spicer. Sean spicer. Seth yeah. [ light laughter ] so the show was it your idea . Did you think of, oh, someone should do a prequel. It was, oddly enough. Well, no, i didnt. Honestly, me and todd, my husband, and our producing partner, eric. We were talking about just general show ideas. And our producing partner, eric, was like, anything that comes from your life is always so much more fertile ground. And its true. And so we were looking at our families. We kind of talked about my mother and sister for a while. And then we my nephew is an 11yearold in texas. Very, very precocious and smart, not in the same way as sheldon, but hes just very particular and unique. And we thought thatd be good. And theres so many commonalities though between that and a Young Sheldon that i was like, i have to tell chuck lorre. Chuck produces big bang. I was like, i have to run this by him. cause number one, maybe theres the off chance he thinks its a good idea to do a show like that. But if he doesnt, im going tell him were going to steer this away from that angle. But he jumped on it. And the biggest shock for me was that no one had thought of it. Because its like, it seemed so obvious as soon as i said it. Weve been planting the seed for so ten years about, you know, all these old stories that sheldon tells from his youth. Somebodys got tb out there. Whats happening . [ laughter ] yall okay . Now im worried. I was done talking anyway. [ light laughter ] seth the interesting thing is that its a show based on your show. Yeah. Seth but its very differently done. Yes. Seth it is not the multicam sitcom. No. Seth its shot its single cam. Seth you do voiceover. It feels a little bit like the wonder years. Its a little more wonder years. Seth did you make a choice of lets make it different . Well, chuck did and steve molaro the other e. P. Did, and i was shocked when they told me that they werent doing a multicam. Multicams in front of the audience like this. Seth yeah. And a single cam is more like a movie. And i was really surprised, like, well, youre such good multicam in front of the audience writers. But they were like, number one, working with that many children, we think it will be a safer thing. Seth sure. And which makes sense. But the other thing they said was, we really want this to be its own creation. So that when the day comes when big bang is no longer there, this survives on its own. Or hopefully can. And what it did was, it turned it into, instead of just kind of a spinoff comedy, it really turned into an origin story. And its got a depth to it that i did not see coming. But we were shooting the pilot and i mean that in a great way. I was just really moved. I was like, look at all the stuff we did for ten years, and look at what it has birthed. Seth you know. [ light laughter ] a 9yearold no, i [ laughter ] in tap shoes i dont know, its been fantastic. Seth well, thats great. And so this is season 11. Its 11. Seth of big bang. Youre going to do a 12th. Yep. Seth and then who knows . Who the hell knows . Seth but im so glad that when if it ends after 12, youve got a landing now, youve got a job. We were so worried about you. Thank you, thank you. [ laughter ] seth i mean its voiceover work, but its good work and youre very good at it. You can do it in your pajamas, as they say. [ laughter ] yeah. Seth thank so much for being, dude. Thank you for having me. Seth its always such a pleasure. [ cheers and applause ] seth jim parsons of the Big Bang Theory airs monday nights on cbs. Well be right back with chrissy metz.

Seth Everyone Wants to say hello. You kind of hit the jackpot. You had already won the emmys, because you had lunch with oprah. I did. Seth yeah, and she yeah. Seth and this didnt happen by coincidence, she reached out. No, it was on purpose. Seth she called you . She called me, and i literally thought i was being punkd. Seth yeah. I know that punkd is not on anymore. Seth yeah. I was like, is this ashton . Seth if you brought punkd back, you would do it for that. Yeah. For sure. Lets punk chrissy metz, thinking that oprah called her. But yes, she just gratefully, called me and asked me to lunch. And it was so lovely. And you know milo sterling and i were sitting next to each other. And then milo and ron, and then of course susan and chris and mandy were on the other side. But oprah was like the middle. So were like, are you on the right or left of oprah . Right, cause thats how it goes. Seth sure. Right. So, yes, the lunch was really lovely. Seth how quickly into a lunch with oprah are you inspired in a way that changes your life forever . Youre not joking, about two seconds. Seth really . When she says hello, chrissy. I was like, okay. Okay. And then i hug her and im like, wow, your home is so beautiful and she stopped for a second and she said, you know what . It is. And it seems a little, like, what . You might think its pretentious. But its the most beautiful thing. Because we dont ever relish and enjoy what weve worked really hard for. And i thought that was so beautiful that she stopped and she just was like, thank you for you know, thanking me for working really hard. And i think that we all need to do that more often. Seth thats so great. So yeah,. 2 seconds. Seth yeah. Yeah, for sure. [ light laughter ] seth and thats i think when that was over, she said, oh, ive lost a step. Im usually im usually a little faster. But this is this really speaks to the crazy difference in your show between year one and year two, which is obviously, last year around this time, you guys were about to be married. Youd been working on the show, you knew you had something special. Yes. Seth but now, you are at lunch with oprah level. As a cast how does it feel where do i go from here . Is that what youre asking .

I mean, last season, we were like, please dear god. Please. Please somebody watch the show. Seth yeah. I really hope you love it as much as we love making it.

Seth yeah, pittsburghese. Oh, i study it up fine. Seth thats good. Im not great at it. Seth thats alright. But i know it exists. Seth but stillers was thats like, thats level two at least. Oh, good. Seth yeah. [ light laughter ] but you you did not have a connection to that before hand . No. I mean, i grew up in the south where, you know, football is a religion. Seth yeah. Right . So i love football. But have a lot of friends who are gentlemen who prefer gentlemen so they dont really watch sports. Seth gotcha. Right . So i kind of miss you know, its fine, cause we do other things together, which is great. But when i go home i get to watch football. And i get to watch sports with my family. But i did love the stillers when i was younger, which is bizarre, cause i had no connection to them. Seth uhhuh. So but seth theyre just a theyre a loveable team. They are a loveable team.
