GIVE IT UP FOR THE LATE SHOW BAND.
HELLO, JOSEPH. VERY EXCITED TONIGHT.
TWO FANTASTIC PERFORMERS OUT HERE TONIGHT.
MICHAEL SHANNON, FANTASTIC ACTOR, MICHAEL SHANNON WILL BE
OUT HERE.
COMEDIANS, A WONDERFUL GUEST TO HAVE THE SHOW, I THINK FRIEND AT
THIS POINT. TIG NOTARO.
I THINK I CAN SAY FRIEND. I CAN SAY FRIEND, PROBABLY,
CAN'T I. ONE OF THE REASONS I'M EXCITED
ABOUT ALL THE GUESTS, ONE OF THE REASONS I'M EXCITED ABOUT TIG IS
SHE'S ONE OF THE PLAYERS IN TOMORROW NIGHT'S CHARITY SPECIAL
"PICKLED." 9:00 EASTERN.
OTHER TIMES ELSEWHERE.
8:00, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. ANYWAY-- ANYBODY HERE EVER PLAY
PICKLEBALL? WE'RE RIDING A WAVE.
LISTEN TO THAT. EVERYONE PLAYS PICKLEBALL.
AND, YOU KNOW, I'VE MADE A LOT OF CULTURAL IMPACTS OVER THE
YEARS. I'VE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE ON
THE COVER OF LIKE "ROLLING STONE" "TIME" "VANITY FAIR"
"SPORTS ILLUSTRATED." BUT I THINK I HAVE PEAKED,
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BECAUSE I HAVE MADE THE COVER OF THE
HIGHEST PROFILE MAGAZINE IN THE WORLD, IN "PICKLEBALL" MAGAZINE.
RIGHT THERE. YEAH.
( APPLAUSE )
YOU SEE THE PICKLE AND THE BALLS.
I'M TELLING YOU.
IT'S ALL FOR CHARITY. FOLKS, AS YOU MAY KNOW, I'M A
HUGE FAN OF HOLIDAY MOVIES. AND I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE.
LAST YEAR ALONE, THE HALLMARK CHANNEL RELEASED A WHOPPING 41
BRAND-NEW CHRISTMAS MOVIES. 41 MOVIES IN A YEAR?
THOSE HALLMARK EXECUTIVES REALLY NEED TO TAKE SOME TIME OFF.
MAYBE GET AWAY FROM THE BIG CITY, HEAD BACK TO THEIR
HOMETOWN, RECONNECT WITH THEIR OLD HIGH SCHOOL SWEETHEART WHO
WORKS AT THE MISTLETOE FACTORY AND HAS A DAUGHTER NAMED
"ORNAMENT."
HOLIDAY MOVIE AVALANCHE GETS EARLIER EVERY YEAR.
BECAUSE THIS YEAR, HALLMARK EVEN HAS A FALL HARVEST MOVIE
LINEUP. BECAUSE THEY HAVE A HUGE
STOCKPILE OF AUTUMNAL MOVIES AND THIS IS TRUE--
LIKE "AN OLD FASHIONED THANKSGIVING," "A FAMILY
THANKSGIVING," "THE THANKSGIVING HOUSE," AND "PUMPKIN PIE WARS,"
WHICH MAY BE THE ONLY WAR I AM PHYSICALLY FIT TO SERVE IN.
I'M PREPARED TO TAKE DOWN 15 ENEMY PIES.
BUT IT'S NOT JUST THANKSGIVING. HALLMARK CHANNEL COVERS ALL OF
SPOOKY CHUNKY PUMPKIN SPICY SWEATER SEASON, WITH MOVIES LIKE
"OCTOBER KISS," "FALLING FOR VERMONT," AND THE ENTIRE "THE
GOOD WITCH" FRANCHISE, INCLUDING "THE GOOD WITCH'S GARDEN," "THE
GOOD WITCH'S FAMILY," "THE GOOD WITCH'S GIFT," AND "THE GOOD
WITCH'S DESTINY"-- WHICH, APPARENTLY, IS TO APPEAR IN AN
INFINITE NUMBER OF GOOD WITCH MOVIES.
AND THIS GOT ME THINKING, FOLKS. I CELEBRATE FALL, AND I LIKE
MONEY." WHICH IS WHY I'M PROUD TO
ANNOUNCE THE LATE SHOW'S "AUTUMN-TACULAR MOVIE
FESTI-FALL." ENJOY.
( APPLAUSE ).
