And featuring the legendary roots crew. Questlove 564, Seattle Steve and now, here he is, jimmy fallon [ cheers and applause ] jimmy oh, hello [ cheers and applause ] hola. Hi, everybody. Welcome. Welcome, everybody. Welcome to the tonight show. [ cheers and applause ] this is it. This is the show you want to be watching, and youre here, you made it, and thank you so much. How great was the game last night . Oh, my goodness. [ cheers and applause ] one of the best games ever. Congratulations to the chicago cubs who won their first world series in 108 years. Oh, my gosh. When asked how it was to witness history, cubs fans said, i dont remember. [ laughter and applause ] not now. Too loud. This was big, though. Cubs catcher david ross became the oldest man ever to hit a a home run in game seven of the world series. [ cheers and applause ] yeah. It was great. It was a good moment. You could tell he was old, because after the homer, he used a stair lift to get back into the dugout. [ laughter ] i just love that statistic, though. David ross is the oldest player to ever hit a home run in a a game seven of the world series. Its just maybe theyre just trying to fill time, but they were just so many stats from the announcers last night. And some of them were just a a little ridiculous, very specific. I mean, for instance, they said cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo has a postseason slugging percentage of. 492, which is also the verification code on his mastercard. [ laughter and applause ] no one should have to know that. Steve why would they tell you that . Jimmy they said it. They also claimed clevelands mike napoli is the only player to ground into a double play in the same month that Gilmore Girls premiers on netflix. [ laughter and applause ] thats true, but steve you need it. Jimmy i dont know. Steve it helps me. Jimmy then they said the indians outfielder ,coco crisp is the first player in world Series History to double twice off the same pitcher, while also being named after a sugary breakfast cereal. [ applause ] okay, that one ill give them. Steve that ones good. Jimmy and finally, they mentioned the tarp used during last nights rain delay was once a poncho worn by new jersey governor chris christie. Thats not true. [ cheers and applause ]. Steve that cannot be true. Jimmy theres no way thats true. [ applause ] another big story is that cubs Team President , theo epstein, how about this guy, unbelievable. Hes now ended world series droughts for both the chicago cubs and the boston red sox. Wow. Now hes going to take on his toughest job yet, president of radio shack. [ laughter and applause ] i dont know how hes going to do it. Actually, theo epstein said last night that hes going on a a monthlong bender to celebrate. And hillary said, if you can wait five more days, ill join you. [ laughter and applause ] but hillary did really send out a tweet congratulating the cubs on winning, and then trump sent out a tweet criticizing the indians for putting his casinos out of business. He got the wrong [ laughter and applause ] but in her tweet, hillary told the cubs, way to make history. Hillary said nothing is more inspiring to her than seeing someone blow a lead, come back, then blow it again, then somehow still win the whole thing. That would be amazing. [ laughter and applause ] but a new poll shows that Hillary Clinton is ahead of donald trump in colorado by three points. Then people in colorado said, but with two more months to go in this thing, who knows what may happen. [ laughter and applause ] get this. I read that both donald trump and Hillary Clintons Election Night parties will be held here in new york city. [ cheers and applause ] and win or lose, the dancing will be terrible at both of them. [ cheers and applause ] [ cheers and applause ] jimmy the only the only dance i know. I was a new kid for a while. Steve you were, for two weeks. Jimmy this was kind of surprising. The New York Times magazine said as of this summer, bill clinton still had a locker at Donald Trumps westchester golf club. Even stranger, it was in the womens locker room. [ laughter and applause ] oops, did i come in here by mistake again . My bad. [ laughter ] i should just stay. I mean [ laughter ] finally, i read that if Hillary Clinton becomes president , she has pledged that had 50 of her cabinet will be female. [ cheers ] and critics say she should just pick the people whod be best at the job. Then hillary was like, youre right, it should be 100 female. [ cheers and applause ] got a great show tonight. Give it up for the roots [ cheers and applause ] [ cheers and applause ] jimmy oh, yes steve what a show jimmy it has been a great week so far. Theres more ahead. Tomorrow night, dana carvey and alicia keys will be joining us. Steve yeah [ cheers and applause ] jimmy i love both those guys. And of course, well have thank you notes. You dont want to miss that.

[ laughter ] i send out a hashtag, and we ask you guys to tweet out things based on that topic.

I asked you guys to tweet out something weird, funny, or unbelievable that really happened to you. Man, that game was fun last night. Questlove it was. Jimmy we watched it we watched it with the writers and some of the staff at the show. We went to 4040 club. Steve mmhmm. Nice. Jimmy yeah. That was pretty it was happening. But we had the big screen on and we were all watching and there were people from chicago that work here at the show and just so funny. And so albertino is so superstitious. She thought she had to watch the whole game squatting. [ light laughter ] every time shed sit up, theyd score a run or something. So she sat the whole game watching like that, like, freaking out. And then questlove came and maybe stayed for about ten minutes. Questlove yeah. I left because i thought i was jinxing the game. [ laughter ] jimmy questlove came and the indians scored three runs and tied it up. Questlove its known that i jinx games. Any game that i watch, i jinx. Jimmy you really just took off.
