-Guys, I always say our show
is lucky to have the greatest band in late night,
The Roots right there, ladies and gentlemen.
[ Cheers and applause ] There. I always say that.
I always say that. -Yeah, yeah.
-But it isn't always fun and games.
From time to time, we put The Roots to the test.
We're gonna pick three people from our audience tonight
and have The Roots make up songs about them on the spot.
It's time for "Freestylin' with The Roots."
♪ Time to freestyle with The Roots ♪
-Roots, you guys ready to do this?
You guys psyched? Oh, I love it.
All right, let's pick someone. Raise your hand if you want
The Roots to make up a song about you right here.
[ Cheering ]
Right there in the white sweater, in the white.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, right there.
There you go. -What is your name...
-Hi. -...and where are you from?
-I'm from France, and my name is Ninon.
-Oh. [ Applause ]
I love it. Your name is Ninon?
-Yes, N-I-N-O-N. That's a lot of N.
-Ninon from France. Welcome.
Thank you so much for being here.
-Thank you. -The new season of
"The Bachelor" starts next week here in America.
What is -- What's the most romantic thing
anyone's ever done for you?
-Mm.
[ Laughter ]
I think France is very romantic.
-Yeah, it is. I think, like, a dinner,
nice dinner in a nice restaurant,
you know, in the Paris atmosphere.
You know how it feels? -Love that.
That is absolutely romantic. I love it.
A nice dinner, nice atmosphere.
What is an instant turnoff for you?
-Oh, um... The way people eat.
[ Laughter ]
You know the noise when people are eating like...
[ Smacking lips ] [ Laughter ]
-All right. Yeah, okay, okay.
-No, thank you. -Yeah. The noise -- the way --
[ Laughter ] -He took you out to
a nice dinner, and then he's like -- [ Smacking lips ]
The whole thing was a disaster. -It started well.
-Yes. All right, Ninon.
The way people eat.
Roots, we have our pal Ninon here from France.
The most romantic thing anyone's ever done for her is,
they took her to a nice dinner in a nice Paris atmosphere.
Gorgeous, beautiful. France is gorgeous.
The instant turnoff is the way people eat.
Sometimes they smack when they eat their food, mouth open.
No -- turnoff. No, thanks.
For this, our pal Miley Cyrus
has the number-one song in the country.
We love you, Miley. [ Cheers and applause ]
Can we do, like, a "Flowers" type of thing with that vibe?

Yeah, you. I like these white sweaters.
What is your name? Where are you from?
-Amanda, from Connecticut. -Hey, Amanda.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Amanda, there have been a lot of flight cancellations lately.
What is your favorite way to kill time at the airport?
-Um, honestly, just walk around.
-Yeah. -Walk around, get food.
Oh, shots. Drink.
Drink? -Oh, you drink.
-Drink. -Oh, yeah. I was like,
"Wow." I thought, "Vaccine?"
[ Laughter ] I go, "Okay, you're doing..."
Go get shots. Go get some drinks,
get some shots, shots, shots, everybody, shots.
[ Laughter ]
What is the worst food someone can eat on a plane?
-Oh, God, um...fish?
Oh, fish, yeah, actually. -Yeah, of course.
Yes, yes. -Fish is a good one.
-Fish is the worst, yeah. I would say, yeah.
That's pretty obvious, right? -Yeah. Definitely.
-What else besides fish? -Onions?
-Onions? -Onions kind of --
-Yeah, if you're smuggling onions to the Philippines, yeah.
-Oh, yeah. -All right, guys, I think --
Fish. Okay. That is pretty gross.
A tuna fish sandwich should not be on the plane.
Sorry. Uh, uh, okay.
We have Amanda here from Connecticut, okay?
And if she's at the airport, she has to kill time,
she walks around and just finds a place to do shots.
[ Laughter ]
And she does shots, shots, shots, shots,
so that she doesn't have to remember going on a flight
and someone walking on with fish.
[ Laughter ]
Now, I'm not necessarily saying tuna-fish sandwich, any fish.
Just fish. Could be sushi.
Who knows what's going down? But for this one,
since we're talking about flying,
can we do it for our pal Lenny Kravitz?
Maybe "Fly Away," one of those type of Lenny Kravitz jam?

What is your name, and where are you from?
-My name's Jeremy, from Pittsburgh.
-Hey! [ Cheers and applause ]
Jeremy from Pittsburgh.
Jeremy, Prince Harry's new book, "Spare,"
is full of revelations about the royal family.
What would be the tell-all book about your family?
What would it be called?
[ Laughter ]
-I don't know if I want to say it on TV.
[ Laughter ]
I guess it would be "My Crazy Family."
-All right, yeah. "My Crazy Family," okay.
And you're on national television here.
Is there a family member who would take up a whole chapter?
[ Laughter ] -My sister, Jordan.
[ Laughter ] -You said that --
You said that so fast. -Yeah, for sure.
-Definitely your sister. -Yeah.
-Jordan. -Yes.
[ Laughter ]
-Jordan. Perfect.
That was very, very fast. Okay.
-Yeah, yeah. -Take up a chapter
of "My Crazy Family."
All right, we have Jeremy here from Pittsburgh.
And if he had a tell-all book about his family,
it would be called "My Crazy Family."
And the family member that would take up
a whole chapter would be Jordan.
Very fast, very quick to say, his sister, Jordan,
who I hope is watching the show. Thank you, Jordan.
[ Laughter ] For this last one, Roots,
since everyone's watching "Wednesday" on Netflix,
can we do something in the style of, like,
the "Goo Goo Muck," the dance -- The Cramps?
