Anyway, mollys sitting down with our daughter jane, whos 5, to write a letter to santa claus, which jane did not want to do. She wanted us to refer santa to our Amazon Wish List that id made. But we insisted on a letter because we want to have it. So my wife got a pen and paper and asked jane why should santa bring you presents, and jane thought about it, and she said because i want them, thats why. And were like, no. What good things have you done to deserve presents. You have to tell santa. And she says i dont know. So i start giving examples, do you listen to your parents, are you nice to your brother . Do you share your toys . And she thinks about it, and she says, yeah, write those things. I said which things, the things you said, just write them down. Basically the response was take a memo. Hey, tomorrow Time Magazine will name their person of the year for 2019. Theyve whittled the finalists down to five, President Trump, nancy pelosi, the protesters in hong kong, greta thunberg. Thats not a joke. What the [ bleep ] is wrong with you people . Im sorry, i used profanity. We all know the person of the year is baby yoda this year, right . Is that a person . I dont know. [cheers and applause] theyll announce the name at 6 00 tomorrow morning. Its not to be trump, how could he not be person of the year . Hes all we talk about. If its nancy pelosi, hes going to go nuts tomorrow. He will send s. E. A. L. Team six into headquarters. He is definitely getting impeached this year. This is another historic day in washington, as not one but two articles of impeachment were announced by the house committee. Today in duty to service to the constitution and our country, the House Judiciary Committee is introducing two articles of impeachment, charge being the president of the united states, donald j. Trump, with committing high crimes and misdemeanors. Jimmy sorry, thats jerry nadler. After he made the announcement, his fans were chanting go nads. They call themselves the gonadlers. He is charging President Trump with abuse of power and obstruction of congress. President trump tweeted that he did nothing wrong. Its a witch hunt, read the transcript. He did all his hits. The house will vote to impeach possibly as early as next week and then the case will go to the senate. Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell has not indicated when the trial will be held or how long it will last, but he did announce that the verdict will be not guilty. Mcconnell and trump have reportedly been arguing about how the trial should go. Mcconnell wants to do it quickly, but trump wants it to take as much possible. Like the tortoise and the hairpiece. Trump reportedly wants to turn his impeachment into a show, a dramatic event, because he believes this will hurt democrats. He may get sean spicer to dance the meringue at this thing. Why would he even have a say in how the trial goes . Hes the one on trial. Republicans are screaming that the process is unfair, as the defendant is telling them how long he wants the trial to last. Meanwhile, with all this drama involving ukraine and russia, who do you think trump had at the white house today . A gentleman named sergey lavrov, who is the Russian Foreign minister. They really dont miss a trick. The last time trump was with this guy in the oval office was in 2017. This is the time he shared highly sensitive information. This time all he gave them was the colonels secret recipe. Consider it a win. The press was not invited to this meeting today. But the white house claims that trump warned lavrov about russian interference in the election. He said, you guys had better not meddle in this election, wink wink. And im sure they wont. Why would they do that to our friend . But it was a tough tuesday for trump. A long day of impeachment articles. He got a harsh scolding from his own director of the fbi. He had to kiss russian ass. Trump couldnt take it anymore. He marched out to the white house lawn and had a word with reporters after dark. I think its a disgrace that people can make impeachment out of nothing. That was a perfect conversation. If you look at mark levin, he analyzed the conversation. One of the great constitutional lawyers. Many of them have. They were perfect conversations. Theres nothing to impeach on. What is going on there . The penguin is holding a press conference. Got that orange face. Its like a harvest moon or something. And then, with that off his chest. Thank you all very much. Jimmy the president journeyed out into the darkness, never to be seen or heard from again. He just kept walking toward the monument. And there he goes. This is a strange story. This is birdrelated happening in las vegas right now. There have been multiple sightings of pigeons Walking Around in cowboy hats. Tiny pigeonsized cowboy hats on these pigeons, and no one can figure out why this is happening. How someone is obviously doing this. But who would be doing this . Lets see if we can figure this out. Okay. First of all, its somebody who lives in las vegas. Someone who, probably someone who has a relationship with pigeons. And likely someone who smokes a lot of weed to be doing this. So really, theres only one possible suspect, and thats iron mike tyson, right . Hes the pigeon hatter. Christmas is two weeks away. If youre still on the hunt for gifts, which assume most of you are.

Jimmy i dont think we have time for both of them. Share the one about the laundromat . Oh, that i had sex with an old lady in the laundry. Jimmy an old lady . Yes. At the time she was older than me. I was in my 20s. Jimmy shes probably still older than you. I was like 23, she was maybe 48. Jimmy you were how old . 23. Jimmy she was 48 . She was 48. Jimmy shes about your age now. This old lady. Yes. Jimmy and so what happened . Were you washing your clothes . I would go every week to the laundry, and that time i didnt have my soap, my tide, you know . Didnt have no soap, so i went in the back and asked her can i buy you some tide for my clothes. And she said yeah. And she said come in. And thats when everything began, you know . Come in the back. Yeah, sure. Jimmy in the back of the laundry place. Yeah. Jimmy wow, thats something. You know what a letter, do you remember Penthouse Forum . People would write letters with their Sexual Experiences and most of them seemed made up, but i mean, that ones pretty good. Did you see her every week then afterwards when youd do your laundry . Yeah. Jimmy did anything ever happen again . No, that was bad idea. Jimmy while you guys were naked together back there, did you take those clothes and put them in the wash . No. Jimmy you didnt, okay. All right. Sorry, i had to get that out. Theres another story about a snake thats incredible. Anyway, this is video of a Holiday Light display in australia. And you know when your neighbor goes all out and you dont. You wind up looking like the grinch, because you didnt spend weeks and, well, this is a good way to handle it. Just put up a little sign that says ditto on it. I enjoy it when others do. This is in diker heights, new york. This is in phoenix in glendale, almost 2 million lights at glendale glitters, and this is a charming nativity scene in atle borrow, massachusetts where merry [ bleep ] christmas go pats. Go pats.

The funny thing is he finally reached five feet. Jimmy another plus. Another positive. Jimmy is kevin your best friend . He is definitely one of my best. Jimmy there are people above him . Theres always people, he definitely, its a real friendship. It was one that i didnt anticipate. But when it happened, and especially as you get older in life, its not like in high school or college, where you just have a lot of best friends. No, he has become truly a great, great friend, and by the way, as much [ bleep ] as we give each other, he had a tough year, and im so happy hes back. Jimmy he did.

Jimmy and you bought your dad a house, too. I did, i bought my old man a house, too. Jimmy thats the best thing ever, isnt it . To buy your parents a house. Isnt it . Jimmy im curious about the process you went through. Is it as easy as it sounds . Who picks the house . Well, thats the thing. Thats the key, you know, and you got to take the control. Jimmy i see. You have to, you have to, you know, give them, heres their options. For you, and i scoped out the neighborhood, vetted everything out. This feels good. If not, its a run away train.

You know, its funny, my, because we just have this, just fatherson relationship. My old man was a little bit like that, you know, theres a lot of animals and critters in the back, maybe i could get a fence. You could get it, sure, but maybe you could get it.

Mplete let obamacare implode. Nurse these wild attacks on healthcare hurt the patients i care for. Ive been a nurse in new york for thirty years. I know the difference leadership can make because i saw what Mike Bloomberg did as mayor. Vo mayor bloomberg helped lower the number of uninsured by 40 , covering 700,000 more new yorkers, Life Expectancy increased. He helped expand Health Coverage to 200,000 more kids and upgraded pediatric care infant mortality rates dropped to record lows. And as mayor, Mike Bloomberg always championed Reproductive Health for women. So when you hear Mike Bloomberg on health care. Mrb this is america. We can certainly afford to make sure that everybody that needs to see a doctor can see a doctor, everybody that needs medicines to stay healthy can get those medicines. Nurse you should know, he did it as mayor, hell get it done as president. Mrb im Mike Bloomberg and i approve this message. Whatd you say . I said beat it. Get outta here. What did you say . I said scram you want a piece of me . Come on, come on. What you got . What you got . Come again come on, you bastards. Jimmy that is Dwayne Johnson in jumanji, the next level. And now that, you are imitating danny devito, because you are the avatar for devitos correct, so in the next level, danny devito turns into me and danny glover turns into kevin hart. Jimmy a lot of dannys in this movie. Yes. Jimmy what is the key to doing danny devito . You have to be a little annoyed, come on, what are you talking about, jimmy danny, breathe, breathe. Its like, come on, what are you, get to the thing. Am i going to ask the questions or not . Jimmy did he advise you and tell you if you had the nuances correct . He did. I spent time with danny. Hes a great, great guy, by the way. But he did. At first he was like, thats [ bleep ] horrible. Oh, you want me to do it better . Yeah, come on. I got to tell you, one of the most gratifying things was to watch, to know that he watched the movie, after the movie, he called me. He was so happy. Jimmy and he liked it. Yeah. Jimmy that has got to be everything. You know you wouldnt get called if he didnt like it. You would get called for sure. That suck, what did you do, you ruinin my legend. Jimmy you did devito. For halloween, kevin hart did you. He was you for halloween. This necklace is a little longer, but. Look at that. Jimmy is that kevin looks so cool, i look like the lunch lady. Its unbelievable. Jimmy the fannie puck has really stood the test of time, though, hasnt it . It has. But youre a fannie pack guy. Jimmy i am a fannie back guy. I really tried to get it kick started once on the red carpet at the emmies, and people thought was a joke. Fannie packs are good, they serve a purpose. Jimmy you know the thing with the fannie pack is the name. It shouldnt be called a fannie pack. A terrible name. Its horrible. Jimmy it should be called a hip sack or Something Like that. A badass bag, Something Like that. Jimmy your weed holder or Something Like that. People would think it was cool. I dont do that, jimmy. I dont know. Jimmy with all that stuff you have going on, you have also launched your own brand of tequila. I did. Jimmy why are you doing this . [cheers and applause] is it difficult to get tequila for you . Ive loved tequila for years and years and years. Its been a passion project of mine, coming out in the beginning of the next year. Jimmy why is it called terra mana . It means spirit of the earth. I wanted it to reflect polynesian culture as well. And it has been so gratifying, and so, and just really so amazing, because when you, were down no outside of guadalajara in the jalisco mountains. And theyre so passionate, the mexican people about their agave and tequila. Jimmy and the workers are probably scared that youll stomp them or hurt them. Make my tequila good for the world jimmy how much tequila can you drink . Like if youre out for the night, and were talking shots here, what would be a reasonable amount . I can knockem back. Jimmy i would imagine you could. I can knockem back. Shot wise, maybe a period of time, eight to ten i could probably. Jimmy i would have guessed higher. But not back to back to back. Im also a sipper. Jimmy is this a sipping tequila . Its a sipper. Jimmy hes a sipper with a fannie pack.

Please welcome yahya abdulmateen the second. [ cheers and applause ] jimmy welcome. How you doing . Im awesome, baby. Jimmy im feeling physically inadequate between you and Dwayne Johnson. Does anybody call you yam, because those are your initials. You know, i might have tried that on, very, very early on. It doesnt work. Jimmy you could say yam, you could also call me sweet potato. Sweet potato foodie is my clown name. Jimmy what . Its actually really random. Jimmy you have a clown name . Everybody gets a clown name. Jimmy how do you get a clown name . You go be in the class and the instructor. Jimmy did the name have anything to do with your initials . You know, it possibly did. I wish i would have figured that out a long time ago. Im sitting here having a revelation right now. Jimmy you went to yale, which is a very difficult program to get into. Yes. Jimmy they dont take many people, but you were doing something entirely different before that. Yeah, man, i studied architecture. I went to uc berkley, worked in city planning and got laid off after about ten months and decided i was going to take a left turn, go try Something Different, and it turned out to be acting. Jimmy was your family excited that you were abandoning your career as an architecture and getting into acting . I love how you put it. My family is so, so supportive. Theyve had fun going on this journey with me. Going to premieres. Sometimes its hard to get tickets. Im glad i have a lot of jobs. Jimmy mmhm, right. I can parse them out. My sister, she says shes the president of my fan club. I have another one who runs my social media account and things like that. Jimmy so theyre there supporting almost to a ridiculous extent. Theyre in it for the long haul. I used to say if i quit architecture and decided to go and like be an astronaut they would support me. I used to say the same thing about acting. Jimmy they would follow you into space. Not anymore. Jimmy this is more fun than nasa. I would imagine. You made that shift. Yeah. Jimmy life wise. Yeah. Jimmy and now, i want to be careful, because i know that if you havent, if youre not up to date on watchman, go to the bathroom. We have some things to talk b its based on an of graphic novel, which is a fancy word for comic book. Its a great graphic novel, great comic book. Theres an unbelievable twist. Yeah. Jimmy in the show, and you are really the twist. Because it just seemed like you were regina kings husband. Thats not a bad deal. If the break down says youre the stay at home husband, whos my wife . Regina king. I would sign up for that job seven days out of the week. Jimmy did you know it was going to start off very domestic and then it was suddenly, you would become a nude blue god . No, man. Jimmy you did not know. I had no idea. Jimmy no one told you you were going to be naked on the show. No one told me i would be naked. Id say its hbo, maybe id get lucky. Jimmy when did you find out . It was somewhere between the second and third episode. I was building up to be a person people could be in love with, a great stay at home husband to works and cleans and cooks. And damon wanted to talk to me about the character. He was here in los angeles. Jimmy did he ask you to take off your clothes . No. [ laughter ] jimmy because he did that to me once, and it was weird. And we were on the air, which made it even weirder. What did you do . Jimmy i took off my clothes. Naturally. Jimmy so he says to you. Its too late to say no, by the way. Right. Jimmy the character is a naked character. He sits me down on the couch at a comfortable distance away, and he says, so, basically, cal is dr. Manhattan.
