  • Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Tonight Show.

  • You're here. Thank you for being here.

  • Welcome.

  • Well, guys, good news.

  • I saw that today is National Tequila Day.

  • And so is every day until Election Day.

  • Yeah.

  • That's right.

  • National Tequila Day, which pretty much makes tomorrow

  • National Gatorade and Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Day.

  • Of course, a lot of celebrities have their own tequila brands.

  • Now there's George Clooney, Kendall Jenner, and Dwayne the Rock Johnson, just to name a few.

  • But to me, the real celebrity face of tequila will always be Nick Nolte.

  • And I just, you know, I just, I don't know why.

  • I don't know. I don't know.

  • I have no idea why.

  • Meanwhile, it's also National Cousins Day.

  • Ooh.

  • Yeah. That's right.

  • It's Tequila Day and Cousins Day, or as it's known in West Virginia, Valentine's Day.

  • Yeah, there you go.

  • Come on, now. Come on, now.

  • You want jokes? You want jokes?

  • Come on, now.

  • -♪ Tequila, tequila, tequila, tequila, tequila, tequila, tequila

  • Some political news.

  • Earlier tonight, President Biden gave a primetime address from the Oval Office about his decision to drop out of the race.

  • Basically, on Sunday, he broke up with the country over text, and tonight he met us for coffee to explain.

  • -♪ Tequila, tequila, tequila, tequila, tequila, tequila, tequila

  • Yep, Biden delivered the address, although it was hard for people to focus with Kamala's interior designer in the background.

  • And then we'll put a picture of Doug over here.

  • And then, I think he changed his curtain, right?

  • Changed his curtain.

  • Oh, it's okay.

  • -♪ Tequila, tequila, tequila, tequila, tequila, tequila, tequila

  • Well, guys, the latest polling shows Vice President Harris leading former President Trump 44% to 42%.

  • And the poll...

  • -♪ Tequila, tequila, tequila, tequila, tequila, tequila, tequila

  • Well, the poll has a lot of information, so let's take a look at the numbers here.

  • When asked, who are you supporting for president, 44% said Kamala Harris, 42% said Donald Trump, 13% said Joe Biden.

  • -♪ Tequila, tequila, tequila, tequila, tequila, tequila, tequila ♪ 38% said, Joe Biden, have you been paying attention to the news?

  • 24% said, no, not really, why?

  • 72% said, bro, he dropped out four days ago.

  • 52% said, oh, my bad, I've been super busy.

  • 11% said, so busy, you didn't know the president dropped out?

  • 63% said, will you lay off?

  • Man, my job is really stressful.

  • 17% said, sorry, what's your job again?

  • 24% said, I'm the head I.T. guy at CrowdStrike.

  • 11% said, oof.

  • 82% said, yeah.

  • 13% said, yikes.

  • 27% said, I know, anyway, you want to go see Deadpool and Wolverine?

  • 71% said, I can't, my job has been insane lately.

  • 33% said, sorry, what's your job again?

  • 45% said, I'm the CEO of Boeing.

  • 11% said, oof.

  • 82% said, yeah.

  • 13% said, yikes.

  • 27% said, I know, so what's your next move?

  • 40% said, what's yours?

  • 12% said, let's say it on three.

  • One, two, three.

  • And finally, 100% said, only fans.

  • It's a very interesting poll.

  • Very interesting.

  • Very in-depth.

  • Very in-depth.

  • Very interesting poll there, yeah.

  • Meanwhile, yesterday in Wisconsin,

  • Kamala Harris made her first campaign stop, and the crowd was pretty fired up, but no one was more excited than Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers.

  • Listen to this. Watch this guy.

  • On the Tony Evers excitement scale that goes from holy mackerel and maxes out at, heck yes,

  • I am jazzed as hell.

  • My goodness.

  • That guy makes Mike Pence look like Andrew Dice Clay.

  • On the excitement scale, if zero is off the chain, this party, zero's off the chain, and Tana's roof is being raised, this is somewhere in the holy macaroni zone.

  • Well, it was reported that Elon Musk was giving $45 million a month to Trump's campaign, but now Elon's saying that's not true, and he just put out a statement about it.

  • Take a look. Elon said,

  • I know I owe millions, but I'm just not going to pay.

  • And Trump said, game recognize game.

  • Yeah.

  • Then Elon said, I'm too busy running my businesses.

  • Everything I touch has been tanking for some reason.

  • And Trump said, game recognize game.

  • Then Elon said, meanwhile, people are saying

  • I ruined Twitter and I ignore my kids.

  • And Trump said, game recognize game.

  • And Elon said, luckily, everyone will forget about all this when I do something even crazier next week.

  • And Trump said, game recognize game.

  • They have a lot in common.

  • Switching gears, according to a new report,

  • Amazon has lost $25 billion on its Alexa devices.

  • I could tell something was wrong. Listen to this.

  • Hey, Alexa, what is the capital of Tennessee?

  • The capital of Tennessee is Nashville.

  • Also, while I have you, videos of my feet are now available for purchase.

  • Shall I add to your cart?

  • Alexa, stop, stop. This is sad.

  • This is sad, right?

  • That's terrible. I feel bad. It's sad.

  • Guys, this is wild. According to scientists, sharks off the coast of Brazil have tested positive for cocaine.

  • Meanwhile, I can't get this song out of my head.

  • Cocaine shark, do, do, do, do, do, do.

  • Cocaine shark, do, do, do, do, do.

  • Cocaine shark, do, do, do, do, do, do.

  • Cocaine shark, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.
