CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.

IT'S SEEPING, WELL, I APPRECIATE THE APPLAUSE.

I APPRECIATE IT.

I'M GETTING THERE.

WHAT ABOUT YOU, REG, ARE YOU STARTING TO FEEL CHRISTMASSY AT

ALL?

>> NOT YET.

>> James: NO?

>> Reggie: I HOPE.

I HOPE IT HITS ME LIKE A SLEDGEHAMMER IN THE MIDDLE OF

THE NIGHT THAT I WASN'T EXPECTING.

>> James: IT WOULD BE GOOD IF IT DID.

IT WOULD BE GOOD IF ITS WITH A BIT LIKE GLORIA ESTEFAN WHEN SHE

TALKS ABOUT HOW THE RILT IMIS GOING TO GET YOU.

>> YEAH.

>> James: HE CAN DON'T KNOW WHEN IT HAPPENS, BUT BAM,.

♪ THAT WOULD BE-- YEAH, WELL, WHAT IS THIS ON THE DESK.

WHAT HAVE WE DPOT HERE?

WHAT IS THIS, LOU.

>> THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION SENT THIS FOR YOU.

>> James: THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION SENT ME A

CORONAVIRUS VACCINE-- OH, A CORONAVIRUS VACCINE.

>> I THOUGHT IT WAS GREATK I DIDN'T HAVE TO COME UP WITH AN

IDEA TONIGHT.

>> James: LET'S DO IT LET'S DO IT.

(LAUGHTER) THANKS, LOU, VERY CHRISTMASSY.

LOVELY, A LOVELY CHRISTMAS TREAT.

I APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THE HEADLINES.

AS YOU KNOW PRESIDENT TRUMP IS STILL FIGHTING TO REVERSE THE

ELECTION BUT WITH NO CREDIBLE EVIDENCE OF FRAUD.

HE DOESN'T HAVE MUCH OF AN ARGUMENT.

SO THIS MORNING TRUMP JUST WENT AHEAD AND TWEETED HASHTAG

OVERTURN, YOU KNOW, DEMOCRACY.

ALL OF THE OTHER WAYS TRUMP HAS TRIED TO UNDERMINE THE WILL OF

THE VOTERS HAVEN'T WORKED SO NOW HE'S PULLING OUT THE ACE IN THE

HOLE, THE SECRET WEAPON, THE WIDOW MAKER, A HASHTAG.

BUT LATER IN THE DAY TRUMP DID TRY TO LAY OUT SOME KIND OF AN

ARGUMENT FOR REVERSING THE ELECTION AND BOY, WHAT AN ARGUE.

HE TWEETED AT 10 P.M. ON ELECTION EVENING WE WERE AT 97%

WIN WITH THE SO CALLED BOOKIES.

AND HE'S GOT A POINT.

EVERYONE KNOWS PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION RESULTS AREN'T OFFICIAL

UNTIL THEY HAVE BEEN CERTIFIED BY DRAFT KING BUT THERE IS GOOD

NEWS WHEN IT COMES TO THE BOOKIE, HE IS NOW CONSIDERED THE

ODDS ON FAVORITE TO WIN THE KENTUCKY DERBY.

I GLES IT'S POSSIBLE THAT TRUMP IS NOT TALKING ABOUT GAMBLERS IN

THAT TWEET.

BOOKIES ALSO SOUNDS LIKE HOW HE DESCRIBES SOMEONE WHO IS SMART.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, STUPID BOOKIE, WITH THE NERD GLASSES

AND BACKPACK.

AND DID YOU SEE THIS, FORMER TRUMP ADVISOR KELLYANNE CONWAY

IS BACK IN THE NEWS.

SHE HAS JUST SIGNED A MULTIMILLION DOLLAR BOOK DEAL TO

WRITE A MEMOIR ABOUT HER TIME IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

KELLYANNE CONWAY WILL NOW BE AMONG THE PANTHEON OF LEGENDARY

AUTHORS LIKE CHRIS CHRISTIE AND OMAROSA.

AND FINALLY, WE GET A TELL-ALL BOOK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS IN THE

WHITE HOUSE.

IT'S BEEN LIKE 50, HAVEN'T THERE.

I MEAN WHAT POSSIBLY CAN WE LEARN AT THIS POINT THAT WE

DON'T ALREADY KNOW, IAN?

>> I GET LIKE HOW MANY TIMES ERIC RAN INTO A GLASS DOOR

BECAUSE HE DIDN'T SEE T LIKE A BIRD.

I BET IT'S MORE THAN FIVE.

>> James: I BET IT'S MORE THAN FIVE.

IT IS BETWEEN FIVE AND A THOUSAND.

>> YEAH.

>> James: YEAH, ACCORDING TO REPORTS THIS IS REAL, MEMBERS OF

TRUMP'S INNERCIRCLE ARE QUOTE QUAKING IN THEIR BOOTS, MAINLY

BECAUSE SHEFF THEY'VE GOT CORONAVIRUS BUT THE BOOK IS ALSO

DREADFUL.

AS YOU KNOW THE PLAY STATION FIVE IS THE HOTTEST ITEM OF THE

SEASON.

WELL, HUNDREDS OF SHOPPERS CAMPED OUT OUTSIDE OF A WAL-MART

IN MICHIGAN THE OTHER NIGHT IN SUBZERO TEMPERATURES AND WHEN

THE STORE OPENED THEY RUSHED INSIDE ONLY TO FIND THERE WERE

NEVER ANY PLAY STATIONS INSIDE.

I KNOW, BUT THEY DISCOVERED SOMETHING EVEN MORE VALUABLE,

THE REAL PS5 WERE THE FRIENDSHIPS THEY MADE ALONG THE

WAY.

(LAUGHTER) >> AND THIS IS CRAZY.

PEOPLE WANT A PS5 SO BADLY THEY WOULD WAIT OUT IN THE COLD FOR

HOURS.

EVEN CRAZIER, AS I MENTIONED PS5 IN THIS MONOLOGUE FOR WEEKS NOW

AND WE STILL HAVEN'T BEEN SENT ANY.

IAN ACTUAL LEER SENT ME A TEXT THE OTHER DAY GOING DUDE, WE GOT

TO GET PS5 IN THE MONO MORE, WE ARE JUST GETTING KNOCK, WE'VE

BEEN SENT NOTHING.

>> EVERY TIME WE MENTION A COOKIE, 60 BOXES OF THEM SHOW

UP.

PLAY STATION FIVE, WE HAVEN'T EVEN GOT A PLAY STATION FOUR.

>> James: YEAH, IT'S ALMOST LIKE THEY DON'T NEED THE PRESS

BECAUSE IT'S SOLTD OUT.

THE WAL-MART DIDN'T HAVE THE PS5 IN STOCK BUT LUCKILY THEY DID

HAVE PLENTY OF CHRISTMAS-THEMED TOILET PAPER WITH, I'M SERIOUS,

CARTOONS OF SANTA RELIEVING HIMSELF INTO SOMEONE'S CHIMNEY.

>> WHAT?

IS THIS WHERE WE ARE AT NOW?

IS THIS WHERE WE ARE AT NOW.

THAT, SOMEONE DREW THAT.

IT WAS SOMEONE'S JOB TO DRAW THAT.

GE YOU WANT ANYTHING FOR DINNER.

>> NO, I WANT TO FINISH THIS AND THEN I'LL-- WHAT ARE YOU WORKING

ON.

>> I'M WORKING ON THE WAL-MART THING, YOU KNOW, THE SKETCH.

>> OH YES.

>> IT'S FOR TOILET PAPER, OH, OKAY, WHAT IS IT?

IT'S SANTA TAKING A [BLEEP] IN A CHIMNEY.

>> ST 2020.

>> James: SO YOU ARE A REALLY SUCCESSFUL CARTOONIST, WHY ARE

YOU DOING THIS?

>> YEAH, I KNOW, THIS IS WHAT I WENT TO UNIVERSE FOR, IT IS WHAT

I LEARNED ALL THIS DRAWING FOR.

>> YEAH, WE GOT NOTES BACK FROM WAL-MART THAT SAID THEY WANTED

RUDOLPH TO LOOK A LITTLE LESS EXCITED SO-- .

>> Reggie: NONPLUSSED.

>> I PUSHED BACK ON IT BUT THEY WERE LIKE IT SAY DEAL BREAKER SO

-- GOING TO PUT SOME SNOWFLAKES AT THE BACK JUST

TO-- DONE, WHAT'S FOR DINNER.

AND THIS WAS AN ALARMING FINDING.

ACCORDING TO NEW ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH, SO MUCH PLASTIC IS

SEEPING IN THROUGH THE WATER SUPPLY THAT ALL OF US MAY BE

CONSUMING THE EQUIVALENT OF ONE CREDIT CARD'S WORTH OF PLASTIC

PER WEEK.

YOU CAN'T CALL IT A CHIP CARD AND NOT EXPECT PEOPLE TO EAT,

YOU KNOW?

BUT IT'S TRUE, WE MAY ALL BE CONSUMING THE EQUIVALENT OF ONE

CREDIT CARD PER WEEK AND IF YOU ARE ANYTHING LIKE ME, WILL YOU

MAKE SURE THAT ONE CREDIT CARD IS A-- SAFFIRE, I DON'T EVEN

KNOW WHY WE DID THAT, I USED TO DO COMMERCIALS FOR SHAY SAFFIRE

AND THEY SAY-- GOT RID OF ME.

THEY REPLACED ME WITH KEVIN HART.

TRUE TOR STORY, KEVIN HART DOES T I'M PLEASED FOR HIM BECAUSE HE

NEEDS THE MONEY.

I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW.

I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HI BEEN SACKED OFF BECAUSE I WATCHED

KEVIN HART'S DOCUMENTARY.

AND I SAW KEVIN HART NEGOTIATING A DEAL WITH CHASE BANK.

ON THE DOCUMENTARY, AND I WAS LIKE HEY, ABOUT YOUR CHASE.

>> I DON'T HAVE IT.

>> YOU DON'T KNOW WHO IT HAS GONE TO.

>> OKAY, YEAH, NO, GO ON.

>> NICE TO HIM TO KEAP BUSY, HE ONLY MADE A COMEDY SPECIAL AND

THREE WEB SERIES DURING THE PANDEMIC.

>> James: THAT'S THE THING, YEAH, YEAH, GONE, GONE.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?

CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?

>> CAN'T BE THE FIRST TIME IT'S BEEN DOWN TO THE TWO OF YOU FOR

SOMETHING.

>> James: NO, ALWAYS, IT'S ALWAYS THE TWO OF US.

ALWAYS THE TWO OF US.

LIKE WE'RE GOING TO JAMES OR KEVIN HART.

THAT'S IT.

WE'VE GOT A SIMILAR, LIKE WHEN DID HE HIS DEAL WITH NIKE AND I

WAS IN THE RUNNING FOR THAT BUT I THINK MY AGGRESSIVE PITCH TO

LAUNCH AIR CORDENS DID NOT GO DOWN WELL.

>> IS KEVIN HART THE PAUL BLART?

>> James: NO, NO, SORRY, KEVIN HART-- -- NO, YOU'RE THINKING OF

KEVIN JAMES.

>> Reggie: YEAH.

>> James: KEVIN JAMES IS PAUL BLART, MALL COP, KEVIN HART IS

ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS PEOPLE ON PLANET EARTH.

>> Reggie: OKAY.

>> James: THAT IS THE DIRCHESZ, YOU KNOW KEVIN HART,

HE HAS BEEN ON THE SHOW, WE DID DROP THE MIC WITH HIM.

>> THAT'S RIGHT, NOW IT IS STARTING TO HIT ME.

>> James: YEAH, THERE IT IS, THERE ST, THAT WILL HIT YOU AND

THEN IT WILL BE THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.

>> OKAY.

>> James: THAT'S IT AND FINALLY WE WANTED TO SHOW YOU

THIS.

A STRONG MAN DRESSED AS SANTA HAS JUST SET A NEW WORLD RECORD

FOR HEAVIEST SLEIGH PULLED.

THE MAN PULLED A FLATBED TRUCK LOADED UP WITH A SLEIGH,

REINDEER STATUES AND PRESENTS.

THE WEIGHT OVER 36,000 POUNDS.

HERE HE IS HERE.

IN OTHER NEWS EIGHT REINDEER JUST OFFICIALLY THROS THEIR JOB.

I NEVER LIKED THESE STRONGMAN COMPETITIONS.

WHERE ARE THE COMPETITIONS FOR THE SENSE TIFER MAN, DO YOU KNOW

WHAT I MEAN?

KNOW LOOK, IT'S NOT ABOUT ME, HOW WAS YOUR DAY.

IT'S GOING TO BE OKAY.

I'LL MAKE YOU SOME AVOCADO TOAST.

BUT ST IMPRESSIVE IF YOU WONDER HOW SANTA GOT THAT STRONG, IT IS

ALL PART OF A NEW WORKOUT CRAZE SWEEPING THE COUNTRY.

IT'S CALLED CLAUS FIT.

NOW SINCE, I KNOW T WASN'T GREAT.

BUT NOW, I DONE KNOW WHAT TO SAY STRKS THE BEST WE HAVE, THE BEST

WE HAVE, >> AND WE'VE HAD 2 SINCE

YESTERDAY TOO.

>> THAT'S TRUE.

>> I THINK EVEN THE DAY BEFORE.

>> I THINK YOU MIGHT BE RIGHT.

THAT'S A 48 HOURS WE'VE HAD THAT IN THE SYSTEM.

>> FOR 48 HOURS WE'VE HAD CLAUS FIT, WE DROPPED IT FROM THE MONO

BOTH TIMES AND THAT WAS STILL THE BEST GRAPHIC WE COULD COME

UP WITH.

(LAUGHTER).

>> Reggie: WOW.
