And featuring the legendary roots crew. Questlove 619 diego steve and now, here he is, jimmy fallon [ cheers and applause ] jimmy oh, hey, everybody [ cheers and applause ] looking good tonight. Hot crowd. Hot crowd. Welcome. Welcome, welcome, welcome, to the tonight show. This is it, baby. [ cheers and applause ] youre here. This is the show well, heres what people are talking about, you guys. Today the senate officially confirmed betsy of 51 [ audience boos ] [ light laughter ] thats 51 of the audience. [ light laughter ] a vote of 51 to 50. That was the vote, yeah. Or as trump calls that, a landslide. [ laughter ] actually it was a 5050 tie vote that was broken by the vice president. Which makes the vote for education secretary the only place where 51 is a passing grade. [ laughter and applause ] betsy devos is confirmed as education secretary despite not having any experience in public education. When asked why he nominated her in the first place, trump said i love the poorly educated. [ laughter and applause ] steve how sweet of him. So sweet. Jimmy there were even reports this week that President Trump also likes to watch tv while sitting around in a bathrobe. His press secretary, sean spicer, denied this, saying he doesnt think the president even owns a bathrobe. Meanwhile, everyone in america is like, stop making us picture donald trump in a a bathrobe. [ laughter and applause ] drop it already. Move on sorry. It keeps coming untied. Oops. [ laughter ] steve looks like im up in the polls. [ laughter ] the white house staff. [ laughter ] [ audience aws ] [ cheers and applause ] jimmy there he is. Steve higgins, everybody. There he is. Good night, buddy. Take care. Take care, buddy. Retiring. 31 years in the business. [ applause ] 31 years of professional show business. Steve higgins, everybody. Oh, oh. Youre back. Youre back. What happened . Steve i had to get debriefed. Jimmy oh, there you go. [ applause ] steve oy jimmy the New York Times reports that trump is apparently obsessed with the decor in the white house. Yep. Though there was one awkward moment when he spent five he realized it was mike pence. [ laughter ] didnt want to disturb you. I saw that people arent able to go on tours of the white house right now, because Melania Trump still hasnt hired someone to head up the white house visitors office. I guess in the meantime, donald has recorded an audio tour so people can tour the white house themselves. It really gives a lot of information about each room. Here, take a listen to this. This is the lincoln bedroom. Its where abe lincoln slept with his wife. Its very rare. Usually president s arent allowed to share a bed with their wives for security purposes. Thats what melania tells me. [ laughter ] this is the yellow oval room, not to be confused with the oval office. But more than once i spent an entire day sitting in here, because i got the two confused. But it worked out. I got a lot of tweeting done. This is the map room. Steve bannon and i like to come in here and throw darts at the map to decide who to fight with next. Everybody has a good time. This is the blue room and all i can think of when im here is that show blues clues. I always guess all the clues, that i can tell you. Sometimes before steve could even give them. He was a boring host. Just like arnold. Its where we store althe precious white house china. Remember that song that went, chickity china, the chinese chicken . Was that barenaked ladies . Who were neither bare naked or ladies. Fake news. [ laughter and applause ] jimmy oh, my gosh. China room . Steve china. China. Jimmy guys, i saw that the group behind the womens march on washington Just Announced plans for a womens strike, calling it a day without a a woman. We actually have video of what it would look like if every woman did go on strike and men were left to handle everything by themselves. Take a look. Oh [ applause ] jimmy yeah. Scary stuff. [ light laughter ] lets get to some sports. Today, the patriots celebrated their big super bowl win up in boston. [ cheers and applause ] i read that tom brady is still trying to track down his jersey that went missing after the game. Yeah. Then o. J. Said, whatever you do, just dont try to steal it ba. [ laughter and applause ] didnt didnt work out so great for me. I read that since her super bowl halftime show, lady gagas sales have increased by 1,000 . While sales of bedazzled, shoulder pad leotards have remained exactly the same. [ light laughter ] [ applause ] one. Only sold one of those. More celebrity news. I saw that Kylie Minogue won a a legal battle against kylie jenner over the trademark of their name kylie. [ light laughter ] the judge called the case, not why i went to law school. [ laughter and applause ] heres a local story. It was announced that playboy is reopening its club in new york city after closing down three decades ago. You could tell its the playboy club, because its hidden underneath a mattress store. [ laughter and applause ] steve come on come on, thats a thinker. Jimmy older crowd. Older crowd. Steve the older crowd. Jimmy no, they get it. They get it. And finally, i saw that today, including the word photobomb. They didnt want to add photobomb, but it jumped in at the last second and kind of ruined the dictionary. [ laughter and applause ] we have a great show tonight, guys.
