  • Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Tonight Show!

  • You're here!

  • You made it. Thank you very much.

  • Well, guys, everyone's excited going into the weekend because you got the solar eclipse happening on Monday.

  • We're gearing up.

  • It's really exciting because we haven't had a total darkness outside since November through March.

  • So it's very exciting.

  • Yeah, everyone's pumped.

  • President Biden plans to watch it, and this is cute.

  • His eclipse glasses will have a little chain on them.

  • Oh.

  • Meanwhile, this weekend is a huge sports weekend with WrestleMania 40 and the Final Four.

  • Yeah.

  • Yeah.

  • Right now, baseball is like, hello, is anyone there? Hello?

  • You guys see this?

  • UConn's men and women's teams are both in the Final Four.

  • That's a great deal.

  • So in case celebrations get crazy, they've removed light poles from campus, which quickly backfired because now fans are lighting stuff on fire just to see.

  • Some political news, a new poll shows that President Biden is now leading former President Trump in the crucial swing state of Pennsylvania.

  • Yeah.

  • Trump heard and was like, he is?

  • And Biden was like, I am?

  • Speaking of Trump, I read that he's holding a big fundraiser in Palm Beach that expected to raise $43 million for his campaign.

  • Yep, the event is being held in Palm Beach at a billionaire's house, so that rules out Mar-a-Lago.

  • Yep, for an $800,000 donation, you get to sit at Trump's table.

  • Yep, when they heard Eric and Don Jr. were like, suckers.

  • It only costs us 500 grand.

  • Guys, I heard that former New England Patriots coach

  • Bill Belichick is planning to write a book.

  • Yeah, a book by Bill Belichick.

  • Well, we thought...

  • Oh, man, here we go.

  • What's up, Tariq?

  • Let me guess.

  • You're just going to list a bunch of fake titles for Belichick's book that are based on actual, you know, famous books.

  • I mean, yeah, that was the plan.

  • I was going to read...

  • Yeah, and then, you know, for each book, you'll show like a fake cover, and then everyone will laugh about it.

  • Right, yeah, that's what we normally do during the monologue, yeah.

  • So I know exactly how this will go down.

  • So Bill Belichick's books will be something like

  • Eat, Pray, Gronk.

  • Yeah, that's right.

  • Or Deflate Gatsby.

  • Yeah, that's right.

  • Or, you know, you'll do like The Lion,

  • The Witch, and The Hoodie.

  • Yeah.

  • And then, you know, you'll end on something obvious, like The Lord of the Rings.

  • Is that how this is going to go?

  • Yeah, pretty much.

  • It's a funny bit, but you should do it on the show.

  • We'll do it tomorrow.

  • Thank you very much. We'll do it tomorrow.

  • Well, get this. I saw that New Jersey is suing New York City over its new congestion pricing.

  • Yeah, New Jersey versus New York will be the only case where instead of objection, the lawyers will shout,

  • Oh!

  • Oh, Your Honor!

  • Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa!

  • Excuse me.

  • Well, speaking of New York, the weather this week has been crazy.

  • Did you see what happened yesterday?

  • A bolt of lightning struck the Statue of Liberty.

  • Yeah, a lot of people are speaking out about it, including the Statue of Liberty herself.

  • Yep, she said,

  • Don't worry, everybody. I'm okay.

  • And then this weird statue of soccer star

  • Cristiano Ronaldo said,

  • Oh, my God, that's so scary.

  • And then...

  • And then this statue of Lucille Ball spoke up and said,

  • I'm glad you're okay.

  • That could've burned bird.

  • Then this old plaque of Elvis Presley said,

  • Honk-a-honk-a-burning lyric.

  • Merlick honk-a-honk-a-burning myrtle.

  • And then this wax statue of Zac Efron showed up and said,

  • Thank you. Learning never starts first.

  • And finally, this wax statue of Leonardo DiCaprio said,

  • Spur for your surf.

  • I'm glad everyone's okay.

  • I'm glad everyone's okay. Spur for your surf.

  • And finally, a town in California was on edge after someone reported a mountain lion sighting on their Ring camera, but it turned out to be a hefty house cat.

  • That poor cat was watching the local news like,

  • This is mortifying.
