-Welcome, welcome, welcome to
the "Tonight Show," ladies and gentlemen.
You're here. You're watching the right show.
Thank you. -Love you, Jimmy!
-Well -- I love you, too. [ Light laughter ]
Well, guys, one of the biggest movies of the year,
"Spider-Man: No Way Home" has finally hit theaters.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Finally. Fans are going nuts.
People haven't been this pumped for a Marvel movie
since the last one came out a week ago.
[ Laughter ]
Yep, everyone's excited to see it in theaters.
Even Dr. Fauci was like, "Screw it.
I got to support this guy." [ Laughter ]
"He's wearing a mask. Let's go. I'm ready to go."
[ Laughter ]
Yep, as we speak, fans are lined up
to see the movie, including plenty of guys
dressed like Spider-Man who definitely can't pull off
dressing like Spider-Man. You know what I'm saying?
[ Laughter ]
In this movie, Spider-Man has to fight off
a bunch of crazy villains at once.
And after he does, he's immediately hired
as a flight attendant for United.
[ Laughter ]
Speaking of airlines, in a Senate hearing,
the CEOs of Southwest and American Airlines
both questioned the need for masks on planes.
Yep, the same thing actually happened last month
with the CEO of Spirit and pants.
[ Laughter ]
Yeah, the Southwest CEO was like, "Who needs masks?
There's plenty of fresh air. We fly with the top down."
"Buckle up, everybody!" [ Laughter ]
Speaking of wearing masks on planes, I heard about
one passenger who tried work around the rule.
Listen to this.
-A man is now banned from flying with United Airlines
after deciding to mask up with a bright red thong.
[ Laughter and applause ]
-If you fly Spirit, that's the oxygen mask
that drops down in an emergency. [ Laughter ]
Make sure to put it on yourself first, then...
[ Laughter ]
-"Dumps like a truck." [ Laughter ]
-A few minutes later, an air marshal walked over
and gave him a mouth wedgie.
It was interesting. [ Laughter ]
You guys see this? Former President Trump
is really upset with his old chief of staff Mark Meadows
for writing in his book that Trump's hair
looked awful when he had COVID. [ Laughter ]
Must have looked really bad, because that's how most people
describe Trump's hair when he's healthy.
[ Laughter ]
Meanwhile, I read that this holiday season,
Melania Trump is releasing her first NFT,
called "Melania's Vision,"
which is a watercolor of her eyes.
[ Laughter ]
Donald's like, "I'm so proud of you.
Congrats on the 'nuft.'"
[ Laughter ]
Yep, Trump's excited about it.
He thinks NFT stands for "not filing taxes."
[ Laughter and applause ]
The cool thing about Melania's NFT,
just like she does with her husband,
as soon as you turn away, the eyes roll.
[ Laughter ] It's amazing.
Hey, this is cool. In a recent interview,
Usain Bolt said that playing "Mario Kart"
helped him become an Olympic champion.
[ Cheers ] I'm in shock.
'Cause apparently I've been training for the Olympics
for the last 35 years. [ Laughter ]
Well, get this. Here in New York, an MTA manager
was caught with the blow-up doll in the front seat of his car,
and he's insisting that he uses it for the company
and not so that he can drive in the carpool lane.
[ Laughter ]
In a related story, he's lying.
[ Laughter ]
Guy was like, "Look, if you have a problem with this,
talk to my lawyer," and then, he blew up another doll.
[ Laughter ]
And, finally, guys, "Sing 2" is coming out next week.
I mean, we are excited about this.
[ Cheers and applause ]
It has such an amazing cast,
and we wanted to do something fun with the actors.
So we gave them a bunch of weird phrases
and asked them to sneak those phrases into their interviews
as casually as possible.
No one knew we were doing this. So check it out.
It's time for "Drop It In."
-♪ Drop It In, Drop It In ♪
♪ D-D-D-D-Drop It In, yeah ♪
-Obviously, everyone's going to watch "Sing 2" for Christmas.
How do you guys plan on
celebrating Christmas this year?
-I'm just going to eat a lot of food, I feel like,
'cause, you know, you know what they say --
if you can't lick the spoon, just eat the bowl, you know?
-That's right.
-Which of the following is not a marsupial --
kangaroo, koala, or platypus?
-Koala. -Platypus have no pouches.
They're the only egg-laying mammal.
-Pouches, eggs, grape nuts, go nuts.
[ Ding! ] [ Laughter and applause ]
Yeah.
-I think it's also a movie about --
about overcoming your own personal obstacles and --
I mean, even the Pringles Guy gets lonely in January.
-How many "Sing" stories do you want to tell?
Like, have you thought of what you would write
for "Sing 3" or "Sing 4"? -There could be a "Sing 3,"
"Sing 4," "Sing 5," "Sing 6," "Sing 7," "Sing 8" --
"Sing 8," yeah -- "Sing 9," "Sing 10," "Sing 11,"
-It'd be like the KIDZ BOP version of movies!
-..."Sing 12." Yeah! I mean, you'd skip 13 because of,
you know, bad vibes. -Yeah, no, you can never...
[ Ding ] [ Laughter and applause ]
-But, no, I think, otherwise, it could go on forever.
-So, this was obviously, like, filming during the pand--
Did you guys get to get together at any point?
-Oh! They're g-r-r-rape!
As T the Tiger says.
[ Ding! ] [ Laughter and applause ]
They're g-r-rape!
-That's sort of the fun of show business.
And the hard part is, you know,
you get ready, and then there's someone who can tell you no,
and it's deflating, you know?
It's never a great idea to microwave a balloon.
[ Ding ] ...and I think that the beauty
of this cast of characters is, they don't stop.
-In the film, Buster Moon has to tell a little white lie.
I'm curious to know if you've ever had to exaggerate
a special skill to either land a role or get ahead.
-I never will tell a white lie.
And that's something I learned when I once
put a balloon inside of a microwave,
and it's never a good idea to put a balloon in a microwave.
[ Ding! ] [ Laughter and applause ]
I just have one last thing to say.
Nunca es un buen idea poner un globo en el microondo.
[ Ding! ] [ Laughter and applause ]
And that's something that is really important to remember.
-[ Laughs ] Thank you for sharing that tip with us.
-Guys, we have exactly two shows left
before we go on Christmas break, which means it's time
for that beloved "Tonight Show" tradition.
It's time for "12 Days of Christmas Sweaters."
Here we go.
-♪ "12 Days of Christmas Sweaters" ♪
♪ Two days left ♪
-That's right.
Every show between now and Christmas,
we'll be giving one lucky audience member
an absurdly cool Christmas sweater from the
Countdown to Christmas Cabinet.
Now... [ Cheers and applause ]
...since there are two shows left,
let's open door number 2.
Where is door number 2?
Wow! [ Drum roll ]
Whenever you're ready.
Yeah! It's Santa! [ Cheers and applause ]
♪♪ Look at that.
Whoa! That's a lot of sweater right there.
Oh, it's gorgeous.
Look at that. Can you turn it around?
Oh, look at that. Come on. That's high quality right there.
Now let's see who's gonna go home with tonight's sweater.
Everyone, look at your seat number.
And if I call your number, come on down.
Quest, can I get a drumroll, please?
