My name is Sean Hayes.
This is my fourth time guest hosting the show.
[APPLAUSE]
You know that means.
If I host one more time, I legally take over this show.
Yeah.
It's called squatters rights when I was a kid,
I never imagined I'd be hosting a talk show.
But a lot of the times, you picture our future one way.
But it turns out totally different.
By 2020, everyone was supposed to be having jetpacks
and flying cars.
Instead, we just have blankets with sleeves.
But I found some old pictures from years ago.
They show what scientists thought
the future would look like.
Here's what French scientists in the 1890s
thought schools would look like today.
OK.
[LAUGHTER]
All right.
OK.
Let's look at it.
Really focus on what's happening here.
The teacher takes all the books and puts them into a grinder.
It goes into the wires.
And that's how students get the information.
Yeah.
I also have friends who put information into Grindr.
And they, too, hope that young men receive it.
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
And there weren't any women in the classroom.
I don't know if it's because they're not allowed
or they're too embarrassed to be a part of this.
And I actually think the woman turning the grinder might
be a lesbian, if it's a woman.
All right.
Anyway, here is another picture of a classroom.
This is what scientists in Japan thought school
would look like in the future.
There are no teachers in the class, only computers.
And let's zoom in and see what's happening there.
Yeah.
So that looks like if you get the answer wrong,
a robot comes up and hits you with a red paddle.
No.
They didn't get school right.
But they did accurately predict "Fifty Shades of Gray."
Finally, here's a scientist from the 1920s predicting
the future.
Yeah.
Can we figure out what's happening here?
This is what some people thought dating
would look like in the future.
As you can see, the woman is finding out
if she's compatible with their partner
by smelling him at least I think.
This isn't how we date today.
But this is how I hire my assistants so--
