-It can be stressful during the holidays
to figure out what gifts to get your loved ones.
So here to help us with some gift ideas are our friends
Kate Berlant and John Early, ladies and gentlemen.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Great to see you again. Hi, John. Nice to see you again.
-Ohh! -Thank you for being here.
-Jimmy, thank you so much for having us.
We love the holidays. -Guilty!
-Now, I myself come from a multi-faith home, right?
So I celebrate both Christmas and Hanukkah.
-That's right. Whereas I exclusively celebrate Christmas.
-Well, whatever you celebrate, I'm glad you're here.
And I see we have some holiday gift ideas for us here.
-We do. -Oh, yeah.
-This first thing is a candle.
I know what you're thinking. "Really? I've seen it before."
But I stand behind this classic gift.
It really works for anyone --
a friend, a family member, a coworker.
And it's budget-friendly.
This candle costs $20, and it smells incredible.
[ Sniffs ] Ohh. Jimmy, you've got to try it.
-Smells great.
Who wouldn't love that? Who wouldn't love that?
John, smell this.
-[ Sniffs ] Whoa.
[ Laughter ]
-What? -Nothing.
Sorry. I'm just, um -- It's just not for me.
[ Laughter ]
-Okay. What's your gift? Go.
-Okay, well, my first gift is this holiday-themed puzzle.
-Ooh. I love puzzles. -Me too.
Okay, this is a perfect gift for a niece, a nephew,
really any kid on your holiday gift list.
What I love about this is that it's interactive,
it's for the whole family.
Kids these days are always on their screens.
So it's really -- -Choking hazard! Sorry.
I'm sorry, everyone.
But if you see something, say something, right?
And I see something. So I'm gonna say something, okay?
That's a choking hazard, John, okay?
A child sees the puzzle. "Oh, candy?"
[ Squeals ] Chokes. Right?
Christmas ruined. So...
[ Laughter ]
Sorry. -Okay, okay.
-It's just even though I don't have kids yet, I love kids.
And I'm very protective over kids.
-How old are you?
-You know, it's so hard to say. Right?
It's like, who knows?
I'm kind of hovering in that bracket
between 29 and 30 -- -So 30.
[ Laughter ]
-Okay, so what I have here
is something for you know who -- Mom --
or really any cook on your list.
These are nesting bowls,
and as you can see, they quite literally nest.
-[ Yawning ] -Yeah.
-I'm sorry.
-Okay, what?
-I don't know. Just, you know, a bunch of bowls? I'm bored.
[ Laughter ]
-You know, gifts are rough. -Holiday shopping
can break the bank, but it doesn't have to.
-We torture ourselves to get the -That's why I always suggest
-perfect gift for loved ones. -making a gift as a fun
-alternative to buying one. -At the end of the day,
it's a subjective art form, and you have to --
Okay, we cannot talk at the same time, John.
-I was talking. -I was talking, too.
-Okay, Jimmy, who was talking first?
-I don't want to get in the middle of this.
-Do not drag Jimmy into this, John. Do not!
-Okay, guys, we have to wrap this up here.
So let's just -- -Okay. Kate, Kate, Kate.
Um, I feel like I owe you an apology.
-Yeah. Me too. Me too.
We came here to discuss our favorite time of year,
and I think the pressure of that turned us against each other.
-Mm-hmm. You know, honestly, I blame myself.
-No, John, you can't. -No, I do. I do.
I blame myself. I really do. Because here's the thing.
You know this about me. When I get in front of a crowd,
the first thing I throw under the bus is you.
And that's insane, and that's insane
because, Kate, you are my best friend.
[ Audience awws ] -Mnh-mnh. John...
You're my best friend, okay?
I'm not just saying this 'cause we're on TV, okay?
You're not my old friend, my dear friend.
You're my best friend.
-Okay, Kate. Look at me. Come on. Look at me.
[ Laughter ]
Promise we will never let holiday shopping
get between us again, okay?
[ Laughter ]
-John, look at me. -Mnh-mnh.
-Hey, John, look at me, okay? I promise.
-[ Chuckles ]
-Just by being here, you both have made me realize
what the holidays are all about.
It's about coming together, pushing our differences aside,
and spreading peace, love, and joy.
Thanks to you guys and your holiday gift ideas,
I think I've learned the true meaning of Christmas.
Guys?
[ Laughter ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
Yes!
These realistic dolls taught me the true meaning of Christmas.
