You're here! [ Cheers and applause ]
Guys, I'm very excited about this.
Demi Lovato is my co-host tonight!

-Come on.
-Yep, last week, I co-hosted with Megan Thee Stallion,
and now Demi Lovato. Yeah, I'm gonna --
[ Cheers and applause ]
I'm gonna get worried if NBC says, "Okay.
Now let's just try it Megan and Demi.
Jimmy, you get out of the way. Yeah."
[ Laughter ] Let's get some news.
I saw that since the FBI's search of Mar-A-Lago,
former President Trump has been scrambling
to put together a team of experienced lawyers,
but everyone is turning him down.
[ Laughter ]
Trump needs to be careful. If he says, "I'm desperate"
three times in a row, Rudy Giuliani will appear.
He's like, "Showtime!" [ Laughter ]
But Trump's offer to lawyers is pretty enticing.
He's like, "Sure, we'll probably lose, but I also won't pay you."
[ Laughter ]
Yeah, Trump's pretty depressed about it.
Tonight, he was on the couch
working with the law firm of Ben & Jerry.
[ Laughter ]
Meanwhile, the other big political story is that
Representitive Liz Cheney, who's on the January 6th committee
and has been outspoken about Trump's defeat in the election,
lost her primary race to a challenger that he endorsed.
Trump was so excited, he threw a ticker-tape parade
made out of classified documents.
He was like... [ Laughter ]
"Celebrate good times, come on."
[ Laughter ]
In her concession speech, Cheney promised to do
whatever it takes to ensure that Donald Trump
is never again anywhere near the Oval Office.
[ Cheers and applause ]
So she's installing a ramp.
[ Laughter ]
"These shoes are very slippery."
[ Laughter ]
You guys see this? Today, CDC director Rochelle Walensky
said that the agency didn't respond quickly enough
to the COVID pandemic and called for a reorganization.
Yeah, the CDC said that they didn't responded quickly enough
to the pandemic.
They might be on to something because everyone was like,
"Sorry. Which of the current pandemics are you referring to?"
[ Laughter ]
♪ We're cool for the summer ♪
Guys, you know what that means.
It is time for my amazing co-host for the evening.
Demi Lovato, come out here!
Demi! No! Come on!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Come on! [ Cheers and applause ]
-Thank you.
Oh, thank you! Thank you so much.
-Come on, now. Oh, wow.
I didn't even get a standing ova--
-Thank you. Oh!
-I didn't even get a standing ovation like this!
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Wow.
-Thank you so much! -[ Laughs ]
Thank you guys so much.
Jimmy, I was wondering, can I join you for your monologue?
-Of course. I'd love it.
But there's so much going on right now.
I mean, there's -- [ Cheers and applause ]
Today, Rudy Giuliani appeared before a grand jury
in Georgia to testify about election interference.
HBO is about to debut its "Game of Thrones"
prequel series, "House of the Dragon."
[ Cheers ]
-Doctors are telling people to stop doing a TikTok challenge
where you tape your mouth shut while you sleep.
[ Laughter ]
And Capri Sun recalled thousands of drinks
because they might contain cleaning solution.
-Yeah, there's a lot to go over.
Let's just jump in and cover it all at once.
It's time for a "News Smash."

[ Cheers and applause ]
First up, Rudy Giuliani is in trouble.
He's the target of a Georgia investigation
into election interference. [ Laughter ]
When he found out, Rudy shouted a bunch of words
that you can only say on...
-HBO. [ Laughter ]
They're about to debut a huge new "Game of Thrones" prequel
called "House of the Dragon."
It takes place 200 years before the original,
and it's a great idea, unlike...
-Taping your mouth shut before you go to sleep.
[ Laughter ]
People are doing it on TikTok,
but doctors say it's bad for your health.
Kind of like...
-Drinking Capri Sun spiked with cleaning solution.
They've recalled thousands of drinks,
not to mention those pouches, which can often...
-Leak. Rudy...
[ Laughter ]
...does it all the time.
[ Laughter and applause ]
Now he's under investigation
by the state of Georgia and the feds.
I mean, there's no way that guy is getting much...
-Sleep. [ Laughter ]
Come on, TikTok. Mouth tape, tortilla slapping,
the face-wax challenge.
Seems like the only thing y'all don't allow is...
-Nudity. "House of the Dragon" will have lots of it.
So fingers crossed none of the actors look like...
-Rudy Giuliani.
[ Laughter, cheers, applause ]
I mean, just look at that face.
That guy could definitely use some...
-Cleaning solution. [ Laughter ]
Drinking that would be gross.
Almost as gross as...
-Hooking up with your sibling. [ Laughter and groans ]
It happened on "Game of Thrones,"
and it could happen again.
But I'm excited for the dragons. They breathe fire.
And so will you if you swallow...
-Pine-Sol Capri Sun.
[ Laughter ]
So, in conclusion...
-Ice and fire.
-Total liar.
-Nighttime ouch.
-Clorox pouch. [ Cheers and applause ]

-Now...
All right, get this.
I read that some scientists think that we should start
naming heat waves the way that we have other natural disasters
so that people take them more seriously.
But I'm not sure naming them is a good idea.
Take a look at this recent weather report I just saw.
-If you're in the Midwest, brace yourselves
'cause Kayleigh is coming, and she is hot.
Extremely hot!
Experts are rating Kayleigh a scorching hot 10.
Way hotter then Jemma, who has been downgraded to an 8.
Kayleigh's only expected to get hotter
as she moves toward L.A.
Jerry, this feels wrong.
-Yeah, yeah, that's interesting. [ Cheers and applause ]
It just feels wrong, I agree. -Wrong.
-It does. -Some business news.
Airbnb wants to stop big gatherings at houses,
so they're rolling out new anti-party technology.
-Oh. -In a related story,
Airbnb just went out of business.
[ Laughter ] -Oh, that's too bad.
They had a good run.
Switching gears, everyone loves TikTok, okay?
But sometimes you just want to skip the boring parts
of a video and get right to the good part.
Well, it turns out you can.
There's a new thing you can do.
For instance, if you're watching a video, you can skip this part.
-And go right to this.
-Cheers.
[ Laughter and applause ]
-Dude, that was me. -Yeah!
[ Laughter ]
-Here's another example. You can skip this part.
[ Both laugh ]
-And go right to this.
-So I got these new boots.
[ Laughter and applause ]
-That's me.
-It's so everybody.
Guys, this is very cool.
Adidas just unveiled headphones that are powered by light.
Yeah. No charging cord.
No replacing batteries. Just the sun.
It's very simple. All you have to do is,
step one -- wake up.
Shoot, it's raining. [ Laughter ]
-Step two -- dig through your junk drawer for batteries.
-Yeah, step three -- put the batteries into a flashlight.
-Step four -- shine the flashlight
onto your headphones for 8 to 10 hours.
[ Laughter ] -And finally, step five --
enjoy up to two whole minutes of music.
[ Laughter and applause ] Awesome.
That's awesome. -Just two.
-That's it.
Well, this is wild. They said that scientists
are working to bring back the Tasmanian tiger,
which went extinct almost 100 years ago.
-Yeah, scientists were like, "We brought back
Taco Bell's Mexican pizza.
We can bring this back, too." -Yeah, science is amazing.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Demi, thank you again for doing this.
We're all so excited.
Now, I know that you're busy with your new album, "Holy --"
[ Cheers and applause ]
"Holy --"
Well, we can't say it on TV.
Let's just call it "Holy F." [ Laughter ]
-But that's not the name.
I mean, they gotta know it's "Holy F--"
-Flamin' Hot Cheetos. [ Laughter ]
-No. No, it's "Holy F--" -Frank Sinatra.
