-They love you. We love you. -Feels good to be back, Jimmy.
-I'm so happy that you're here, and today is the day.
-Today is the day.
-I mean, this is bizarre. So you're doing our show tonight.
Then after our show, you're doing Seth.
-Yep. Both of my uncles. -And then -- Yeah.
And then right after that, your show premiers.
-I know, yes. -The day is finally here.
-Ugh! I know. -I know, no, no, no, yeah.
How's it feeling? Does it feel real?
-I mean, obviously, I'm so excited.
It's a huge, huge honor.
I'm obviously a little nervous.
I mean, because I care. I care so much about this.
But I'm just -- It's a huge honor.
-You tweeted about something I saw.
-Oh. Oh, no. -Yeah.
-Oh, no.
-In 2011, May.
-Double "oh, no."
-Yeah. You tweeted,
"I want my own talk show."
-Yeah. -Yeah.
[ Audience "aww"s ]
And then -- Yeah. [ Cheers and applause ]
-Thank you.
-You have it.
-I know!
That's how I get things in life.
I just tweet them. So, right --
-And things just happen?
-When this was brought to my attention,
I actually, if I'm really honest,
I don't completely remember tweeting this.
-Really?
-And I think it's because when I tweeted it in 2011,
I was probably just like, "Oh, it would be so great.
This is probably not possible,"
and I probably just mindlessly tweeted it.
And when this was brought to my attention,
I was like, "Ah, the power of manifestation."
I'm telling you, the power of manifestation,
working hard, and visualizing. -You will it --
-And so when this was brought to my attention,
right after, I was like, "I want seven Ferraris,"
so stand by, I guess.
-Give me one when you get that.
What have you learned now that you're doing it,
now you have a couple already filmed,
I mean, what are you learning on this process going in?
And what did you like, "Oh, I didn't know that was gonna --"
-Yeah, I mean, I come from the Internet.
And so things are a little bit different.
You know, I shoot videos with five people.
And then I entered this world of television,
and there's something called Standards and Practices.
Like, I can't say certain things.
I'm like, "What?"
There's something called unions.
[ Laughter ] -Yeah.
-And there's also just so many people that work on the show.
-Yeah, you're used to five people, and now it's --
-Yeah, every day, someone comes up to me
and goes, "I'm your script chauffeur --"
Like, I don't know. Any job title they make up.
-That's not what -- -Advisor.
But I'm just like,
I am still learning what everybody does.
-Yeah. -And it's just blowing me away.
There's literally 100 people working on my show.
-And what is NBC learning from you?
-Oh. [ Clears throat ] Well.
The learning curve goes both ways.
-Yeah. -So I'm learning about unions
and rules and laws, whatever.
And they are learning about a female late-night host,
because -- [ Cheers and applause ]
Because, you know, it was suggested to me early on --
I have 96 episodes, and it was suggested to me --
All the women in the audience, please, can I get an "amen."
But it was suggested that -- -Amen!
I didn't even say it yet, but thank you.
It was suggested to me
that I should do a single fitting for all 96 outfits.
Yeah. And obviously to me, I'm like, "I'm sorry, what?"
Because that would be like a four-day fitting.
-Yeah.
-Also -- And I love this one.
I was told that there's not a budget for a manicure --
I like to get my nails done --
Because the other late-night hosts don't have one.
[ Laughter ]
-Why don't I have one? I want a mani-pedi.
You're changing the rules for me, too.
I'll get free mani-pedis! Let's do it!
-Because you and Seth don't get manicures,
I'm not allowed to get a manicure.
[ Laughter ] -Come on. That's bizarre.
I love it.
[ Laughter ] It's those things I love.
You wouldn't even think to ask for that.
-I was also told I have 15 minutes
between episode one and two to change.
I was like, "It takes me 20 minutes
to get my Spanx on and off.
I don't know how you go 15 minutes for me to change."
Are you kidding me?
-Spanx. -No.
-I want to show your set.
-Yes! -I love it.
It's colorful. It's beautiful.
-Yes. Mm-hmm.
-Yeah. Look at that.
[ Audience "ooh"s ] -Yes!
-Love it. It's so good. -Thank you.
-And then, if you look on the desk,
we zoomed in, but you have photos on the desk.
And I was like, "What are these photos of?"
I thought one was of me,
one was of, you know, when our friendship began.
-We couldn't afford the license for you,
but I did put the two loves of my life,
which is my dog, Scarbro --
He's perfect -- and French fries.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-We keep it real.
We keep it real. -You guys keep it real, yeah.
-We keep it real.
-I know your show, it's at 1:35 a.m.
So, all my fans watching our show,
I love this person. Please watch her show.
Set your DVRs. -Thank you. Thank you.
-Set your DVRs. Go to Menu right now
and just see who's a little bit later in the evening
and press Record
and just start to get to know your new late-night friend.
