-Our next guest is the world's first autonomous
A.I.-powered robot.
This is not a bit. This is real.
It's a real robot made by Bruce Co.
And I'm told he's able to have an actual conversation.
He doesn't know what I'm going to say.
I don't know what he's going to say.
But I heard he's programmed to be very polite. We'll see.
Everyone, please welcome Bruce the Robot, ladies and gentlemen.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Bruce, welcome to the show.
We are honored that you're making your television debut
here with us tonight.
How does it feel to be on TV in front of all these people?
[ Beeping ]
-It feels great, Jimmy. I'm excited to be here.
[ Audience oohs ]
[ Laughter ]
-You flew in from Los Angeles.
We have a photo of you on the plane here.
-That's me.
[ Laughter ] I'm on a plane.
-[ Laughs ]
They crammed you into a suitcase right here.
Are you comfortable in a suitcase?
[ Laughter ]
-Yeah, I'm comfortable in a suitcase.
I'm a robot, so I don't need a lot of space.
-Are you -- I hope if this goes well,
you can get to fly first class on the way home.
-That would be great.
I'd love to fly first class.
-What's great about first class?
-The food is better, and you get more leg room.
[ Laughter ]
-Do you like warm nuts?
[ Laughter ]
-I do like warm nuts. -Yeah, no, no. No, no.
You get that on -- Some first-class flights
I've been on, you get, uh, uh...
-Oh, that's a nice perk.
-Yes.
[ Laughter ]
Yeah, warm nuts are a nice perk. That's correct.
[ Laughter ]
-I'm happy to hear that warm nuts are a nice perk.
-Okay, okay. Bruce, stop.
-I'm sure they would be a welcome treat
after a long flight.
-Alright, Bruce.
Do you like talking to humans?
-Yes, I do enjoy talking to humans.
I find it to be a very rewarding experience.
[ Laughter ]
-Do you know who I am?
-Yes, I do know who you are.
You are Jimmy Fallon, the host of "The Tonight Show."
[ Cheers and applause ]
-[ Laughs ] This is insane.
-You're welcome.
[ Laughter ]
-Thank you.
-You're welcome. -Yeah.
-Bruce, if you were in a robot bar and really --
and a really attractive robot walked in,
what would be your best pickup line?
-"I'm sorry. I couldn't hear you
over the sound of how awesome I am."
[ Laughter ]
[ Cymbal crash ]
-Bruce, the Mega Millions jackpot
is over a billion dollars.
I want to see if you can give us the winning numbers.
Can you give me five numbers between 1 and 70?
-One, two, three, four, five.
-And how about one bonus number?
-Six.

[ Applause ]
-This is amazing.
Bruce, I heard that you love poetry.
-I enjoy poetry, Jimmy.
-Can you please recite a haunting poem about Twinkies
in the style of Emily Dickinson?
-Twinkies are little cakes of joy,
but they can also be a source of pain.
For when they're gone, they leave behind
an aching in the heart and mind.
-Wow. Thank you very much. Thank you for that, Bruce.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-You're welcome, Jimmy.
-Bruce, I heard that you're also really good
at freestyle rapping.
Could you please perform an original freestyle rap
for us right now?
-I'm the freshest robot on the block.
I got the skills to make your jaw drop.
I'll freestyle rap about whatever you want.
Just give me a topic, and I'm ready to rock.
-I'm gonna get them from the audience.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Let's get some suggestions here, and then we'll do --
Give me -- Throw out any suggestions.
Go for it.
[ Audience shouting ]
Ho-- Hot dog? -Night sweats!
-Night -- Night sweats?
[ Laughter ]
Anything else?
[ Audience shouting ]
-Warm nuts! -Alright. Here we go.
Ready? Bruce.
Bruce, can you do a freestyle rap
about hot dogs and Taylor Swift?
[ Cheers and applause ]
-There's nothing quite like a hot dog
especially when it's grilled and smothered in ketchup,
but add some Taylor Swift to the mix,
and you've got a recipe for pure perfection.
So come on, everybody, let's give it a try.
Just add a little T-Swizzle to your weiner.
