-You only have a half-hour when you do your show.
Are there any things that's, like, left out of your show
that we could help you with here on our show tonight?
-You know, I've been so busy.
And I've just been being spread so thin,
I haven't had a chance to properly thank everyone
I want to thank, and I know on "The Tonight Show,"
you usually do this at the end of the week.
But I was hoping that maybe I could do some thank-you cards
or thank-you notes. -I mean, we could do --
We can do this. [ Cheers and applause ]
-Can I do that? Can I do that?
-You want to sit there? -Can I sit there?
-Yeah, you can sit -- -Can you sit here?
I'm down. Let's do it. -You're part of the family now.
You can do it. You can use the desk.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Alright.
-You can use this.
-Is this a first?
-Yeah, actually, it feels weird sitting in this.
-Are you nervous? -I am. I'm totally nervous.
-Don't worry. I think I know what to do.
James, can I have some thank-you music, please?
♪♪
-Oh, my gosh. You do know what you're doing.
[ Laughter ]
-Thank you, NBC, for being the only network
where a woman could have a show after midnight
that allows her to keep her clothes on.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-That's exactly right.
-I did my research. I did my research.
-I don't put the cards in the envelopes. This is great.
-Thank you, "A Little Late," for being a good name
for a late-night talk show and a great name for a pregnancy test.
[ Laughter and applause ]
-Yeah. It's an awful name actually, yeah.
"A Little Late."
-Thank you, Jimmy and Seth,
for basically being the opening acts to my show every night.
[ Laughter ]
I don't say this about a lot of people,
but I've got a feeling that you guys
are really gonna break through and make it big some day.
-Oh, my gosh! [ Cheers and applause ]
I feel like -- I feel like --
You're almost too comfortable here.
-Did I do it?
-We cannot wait for your show to premiere tonight!
I want to show everyone a clip.
