  Speaker 1: All right, let's bring in Jimmy Fallon, host, 9 to
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Midnight of Fox Across America with Jimmy Fallon, and host
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: of the Fox News Saturday Night with Jimmy Fallon on
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: the Fox News channel. Jimmy, I'm glad you're here today
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: because I need you to explain to me this love
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: affair between Zoram Mamdani and Donald Trump. I mean, he
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: calls him a communist. Trump calls Mamdani a communist. Mamdani
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: calls Trump a fascist. And yet they get together. It's
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: like a love story.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, you're kind of missing the larger point.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: It's UN week. Okay. And there's so many hookers in
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: town that love is just in the air. You guys,
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: you got to get it. Okay. That's why you bring
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: on a cab driver. They've been swept up in this
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: lady in the Trump moment. Where, you know, there's so
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: many diplomats coming in to shag call girls between meetings.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: I'm a former cab driver. I know how this works.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: And they're just doing their part. They're just doing their part, man.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, Jimmy. And remember, they have immunity. So even
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: if they get swept up by the police, police can't
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: touch them. It's not even a no bail situation. You
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: can't touch me. I'm a diplomat. And Jimmy, you probably
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: had to drive them home oftentimes after they were granted
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: complete ambassadorial immunity.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Well, that's the point I wanted to make. Yes, they
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: have immunity, but a lot of them still end up
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: in handcuffs.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: All right, let's stay on the hookers for a second.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Is it an all-star cast? Do they fly in from
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: around the country for this weekend or this week?
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: They do. Okay, that is a thing. And back in
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: the day, like, you know, if you're a medallion driver specifically,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: they will hire you for the day or for the
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: week because there's a lot of street closures. But the
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: reason a cab is valuable is you show up in
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: a cab, you look like a local resident. You grab
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: a bag of groceries or you borrow a dog and
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: the cop lets you down the block. If you pull
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: up in a Cadillac Escalade, they know what you're up to. So, yes.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: I was, you know, I should be in the sequel
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: to Pretty Women is what I'm trying to say.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no, you're on point. By the way, both
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: I and your favorite here, Natalie Magliore, were at the
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: San Gennaro Festival yesterday. getting reactions of the people. And
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: I got to tell you, the Paisan Nation in Nassau County,
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: from Franklin Square to Glen Cove to Mozza Pizza, will say, hey,
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: where's Jimmy Fallon? Did he forget us normal people? He's
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: too big for us now for the sausage and peppers
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: and the zeppoles.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Can you imagine? No, Jimmy is getting chased through Zanzanero
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: with a wardrobe department and an Ozempic needle.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: That's why I don't go.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: I show up, I look at the Zeppelis, and all
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: of a sudden someone comes running after me with a needle.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: No good for me, Kurt.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Hey, Jimmy, this event you're doing is pretty exciting. We
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: understand you're going to be doing a night of comedy
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: at the Kuchina Calandra in Fairfield, New Jersey on October 28th.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: What does this all entail and how do people take part?
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Well, listen, if you want to go see, you're going
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: to see me in my natural habitat doing what I
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: do best, which is drinking Merlot. Uh, and you know,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: it's going to be a lot of silly jokes and
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: we're going to eat some of the, I mean, it's
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: internationally renowned bread. If you don't know that about Kavita Kalani,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: bread is actually very, yes. But then to the point
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: that people are too passionate about it. Like Larry, I
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: like Italian bread. It's probably my favorite thing in the world,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: but you know, Italians like Italian bread too much. It's like, Oh,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: you got to try the bread, bro. I'm like, I'm
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: gonna know, bro. Did you try the bread? Seriously? Try
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: the bread. You're getting threatened. I'm like, I'm going to
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: eat the bread. So if you're going to come, first
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: and foremost, laugh at my jokes, but eat the bread.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Just sit down and eat the bread so you don't
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: get jumped by someone's nana because they're very passionate people.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: So it's a lot of jokes. And it's an intimate setting,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: which I'm excited about. You know, I'm usually on the road.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: You know, there's 2,000 people in a theater. This is
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: like where I come from, you know. And as a bonus,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: you're seeing a comedian who looks like he gets paid
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: in cannolis. So it works out.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: So you're doing a full set?
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: You're doing a full set, and there's a meet and
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: greet also, so people get to talk to you afterwards.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: That's great.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Meet and greet, but in Italian restaurants, it's more like
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: a tip and touch. Okay? They're very handy people. They're
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: very handy. Okay. I'm all too familiar with this. I
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: have a lot of these relatives. But, yeah, I'm pumped
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: up for this.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you what, if you want tickets and
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: who wouldn't want to go to this, you go to
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: 710WOR. com slash Jimmy. Once again, that's 710WOR. com slash Jimmy. It
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: sounds great.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Now, let me ask you real quick, Jimmy. With the
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Ed Sheeran controversy, have you ever had that when you're
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: doing a club with other comedians where they bring up
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: politics and they get booed off the stage?
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Well, it's funny you say this because Macklemore is opening
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: for me at Kavita Kalandra. Yeah. He had an opening
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: in the schedule. I don't know if you heard. No.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: And Curtis, to that point. No one should be doing
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: this at any type of event. It's just forget even
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: the politics. And I just want to be left alone
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: to my music, which we should all agree on. It's
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: also just the buzzkill. You know, think of Coachella. Those
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: people fly to the desert, drop acid, and they're dancing
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: for 12 hours. And all of a sudden the music
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: stops and Bernie Sanders says they're all going to die
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: from climate change. Doesn't that kill the vibe?
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: And I would imagine like if you're headlining someplace as
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: a comic and the opener does something controversial and all
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: the attention goes to that person, that person's never going
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: to open for you again, right?
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you wouldn't want them to, especially if they're making
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: the event about something else. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, exactly.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: That was the whole point. It's like, imagine you go,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: you know, your sister's getting married, and right before she
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: comes down the aisle, somebody gets up there and starts
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: giving a Save the Whales speech. You know? I mean,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: it's usually the bridesmaid that most resembles a whale, but
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, nobody asked for this.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Hey, one last time, tickets to see Jimmy at Kuchina
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Calandra in Fairfield, New Jersey. On October 28th, he's going
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: to do a set. It's a meet and greet, and
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: it's tremendous food. You can't lose. 710WOR. com slash Jimmy. Thanks
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: a lot, Jimmy.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Love you guys.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: See you. You go to bed with Jimmy Failure, 9
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: to 12, right here at 710WOR, Monday through Friday. And
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: then you wake up with Larry and yours truly.
