EVERYBODY.
THANKS, JON.
THANKS, HERBIE.
>> Jon: YES!
>> Stephen: FOLKS, BIG NEWS FROM THE WEST COAST, WHERE
CALIFORNIA'S EFFORT TO RECALL GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM HAS GAINED
ENOUGH SIGNATURES TO TRIGGER A VOTE.
THAT'S A BIG DEAL.
IT'S NOT EASY TO RECALL GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM.
CLOSE YOUR EYES.
CAN YOU RECALL WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE?
HE SAID THE GUY WITH THE HAIR AND THE HANDS AND THE FACE,
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
I DON'T KNOW.
LET'S GIVE THEM SOME HELP HERE.
THIS IS CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR AND CORPORATE RETREAT LEADER ABOUT
TO RELEASE THE TEAM-BUILDING RATTLESNAKES, GAVIN NEWSOM.
NEWSOM'S REPUBLICAN OPPONENTS HAVE BEEN TRYING TO RECALL HIM
FOR MONTHS, AND YESTERDAY, THEY ANNOUNCED ENOUGH SIGNATURES HAVE
BEEN VERIFIED TO TRIGGER A RECALL ELECTION.
NOW, THIS IS NOT THE FIRST CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR RECALL.
LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED, IN 2003, GRAY DAVIS WAS REPLACED BY
ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER, WHO USED HIS TIME IN OFFICE TO BRING
MUCH-NEEDED LAW ENFORCEMENT INTO KINDERGARTEN CLASSES AND
ATTEMPT TO STOP GLOBAL WARMING WITH HIS FREEZE RAY.
JUST LIKE LAST TIME, REPUBLICANS HAVE A GREAT CAST OF CHARACTERS
LINED UP TO CONTROL THE 5th LARGEST ECONOMY IN THE WORLD,
LIKE FORMER SAN DIEGO MAYOR AND THE BLAND WITH THE PLAN, KEVIN
FAULCONER, AS WELL AS FORMER OLYMPIC ATHLETE AND
REALITY TV STAR CAITLYN JENNER, SEEN HERE STRUGGLING TO LIST THE
KARDASHIANS.
"LET'S SEE, THERE'S KIM AND KYLIE AND THERE'S KALVIN AND
KRISPY AND KIRKLAND BRAND?
COME ON, CALIFORNIA!
IF YOU ARE GOING WITH A MEMBER OF THE KARDASHIAN FAMILY, KIM
HAS THE MOST EXPERIENCE!
SHE IS STUDYING FOR THE BAR EXAM, AND SHE MANAGED TO
NEGOTIATE AN EXIT STRATEGY FROM THE TROUBLED REGION OF WEST
KANYE!
AND MOMENTS BEFORE WE BEGAN THIS TAPING-- THIS IS ABSOLUTELY
TRUE-- WE GOT AN ONLINE ANNOUNCEMENT FROM VETERAN ACTOR
AND SANTA WITH A RESTRAINING ORDER, RANDY QUAID.
QUAID TWEETED, "I'M SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING RUNNING FOR
GOVERNOR."
AND I AM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING BEING REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
AND I AM BEING TOLD HE HAS ALREADY RELEASED HIS FIRST AD.
>> IN THIS YEAR'S RECALL ELECTION, RANDY QUAID IS THE
ONLY CANDIDATE WHO HAS A PLAN FOR CALIFORNIA."
"PAID FOR BY THE COMMITTEE TO GET RANDY QUAID OUT OF MY GARDEN
SHED."
>> "I'M RUNNING!" >> Stephen: CONGRATULATIONS,
FUTURE GOVERNOR QUAID.
WHEN WE RETURN I'LL BE BACK WITH MY FAVORITE C KARDASHIAN,
KLOBUCHAR, SENATOR AMY.
STICK AROUND.
