  Speaker 1: It's the Mark Simone Show on 710WOR.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Well, Jimmy Fallon, he's on WOR every night, 9 to midnight.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: You'll get addicted real fast if you listen. It's the
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: funniest show on the radio. Jimmy Fallon, 9 to midnight,
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: every weeknight, WOR. Then on Saturday nights, does the best
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: late night show on television with the single finest monologue
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: anywhere on television. Saturday nights at 10 on the Fox
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: News Channel. Jimmy Fallon, how you doing?
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: You know what? I'm in good spirits. Thanks for that
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: fine intro about my TV show this weekend. We have
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: a girl on that was in the movie Black Panther,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: but I'm pretty sure Trump renamed it Orange Panther. He's
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: on a binge this week. Right after Lake America or
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: New America, whatever the heck's happening down in Mexico. Everything's
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: got a new title, Simone.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: I love it. He is getting a little silly lately,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: isn't he? What's getting into him?
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Something's going on. Well, I will say this, because they
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: had this whole crazy convention down there last night. I
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: believe he's still speaking.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: He might still be on stage. He did an hour
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: and 50 minutes, and everybody.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Was like, well, you know, Trump's crazy because he's going
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: to book this thing, and there's going to be football on,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: and people are going to be watching football. But little
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: did they know he'd still be speaking when the football
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: game was over.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: I was like, he had to have a plan.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Sure enough, he did. That was like a New Year's Eve.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: That was like a ball drop. It went all night.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: But normally he's pretty good on stage. I mean, he's
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: not a stand-up comic, but he's pretty good at coming close.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: But what was he thinking not tightening that up, not
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: focusing that speech?
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: You know, man, this is the thing. There's definitely nobody
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: in his orbit that's saying the word no to him. Nobody.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? And he likes the live
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: element so much more. than all the buttoned-up stuff he
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: does with the press. Because you understand, like, even when
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: he talks to the press, he talks for two hours.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: But it's hostile. You know what I'm saying? It's hostile.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: So it's very rare that he actually gets, like, a
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: home game. That's why he likes rallies, you know, because
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: it's a totally different approach. You think of, like, every
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: press conference he does in the White House, they don't
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: actually ask questions. They just accuse him of things.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: They're like, you know, Mr.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: President, you're committing transgenocide.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: What do you think of this WNBA thing? He's like, whoa,
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: what just happened?
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, you got to follow Jimmy Fallon on Instagram. He
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: does these great videos on Instagram. The one about Jimmy Kimmel.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: The show is on its deathbed. I mean, it's over,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: but you've been watching this week. He's vicious, angry. Who
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: wants to watch such an angry guy on television?
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: And the whole show, okay? Because his wife is his
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: head writer. Really?
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: And his wife, yes, his wife writes a show.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: She's the head writer for his show. And that's why...
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: But that tells you everything. You see, he was obviously
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: the guy on the man show who was doing a
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: lot of crass, misogynistic stuff, also wearing blackface quite a bit,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: I might add. For a guy who likes to call
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Trump a racist, I've got to be honest, blackface, a
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: little aggressive. I've gotten some odd makeup.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Jobs before my show over the years, but.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Nobody ever confused me with Karl Malone on.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Set, but that's another story.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: But the point is, his wife kind of... hijacked his
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: sensibilities in a lot of ways and turned him into
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: like another late night woke activist, like a Colbert. And
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: one of the reasons he goes along with that is
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: he is paying, like, a protection racket to the outrage mob.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, you think about this. If Jimmy Kimmel is
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: a Republican and he had a 10-year history of wearing
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: blackface on TV, his show would have been canceled 10
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: years ago. Oh, yeah.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: So that's why he always opens every show with a
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: tribute to whatever the Democrat cause of the day happens
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: to be. It is straight-up goodfellas. You know, he learns
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: the business. Quit the mob. And now what? You got
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: slow business? F you, pay me. Come on, Kimmel. That's
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: why even when Kimmel was off for summer break, all
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: of his guest hosts came on and trashed Trump, too.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Did you see Jelly Roll was on? And then poor
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Rosie O'Donnell showed up. She didn't realize Jelly Roll was
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: a person, so she was crushed.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: It was going to be craft services.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: It was a mess.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Hey, so Comics Unleashed, this is Byron Allen. It's kind
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: of a low-budget show, and it's not big names, but
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: it's pure comedy. You know, it's now crushing Fallon and
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Kimmel in 18 to 49-year-olds, the key demo.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not surprised by that.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: You're going to laugh. I almost texted you yesterday. I
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: was driving into Fox, and I was.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Listening to you talk about this.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Byron Allen, you were saying Byron Allen, he's a genius.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: He's a smart guy.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: And he realized, like, the thing about people who tune into.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: A comedy show is they want to laugh. It's like,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: it's a weird thing. It's a weird thing. But all
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: these other late night shows, like, imagine if you ran
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: a pizza place. If someone called up and ordered a pizza,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: you'd send them a pizza. These late-night shows have not
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: been sending the pizza. They're like, sorry.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: The best I can do is this cauliflower crust.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: It's not good.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: The guy that created late-night television, his name was Pat Weaver.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: He worked at NBC. He said, let's have a late-night
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: show that's entertaining. People will have a few laughs before
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: they go to sleep. And then he got Steve Allen
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: to do it. He never would have thought to himself,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Let's get people really angry, mad before they go to sleep.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Let's rile them up right before bedtime.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: And the thing about it is also like comics kind
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: of like they knew better than to take themselves seriously.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: You know, we're supposed to be like your misfit buddies
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: and you can let your guard down because we're just
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: here to goof off. None of this is real.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: And it's crazy to watch because these are like.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: A lot of these guys are a little younger than
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: what we were watching on The Tonight Show. Like if
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: you turn on a rerun of The Tonight Show, you
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: see Johnny Ed sitting next to a drunk Dean Martin
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: or a Rickles. Everybody there is in their 60s, and
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: they're still sophomorically ridiculous like a bunch of 10-year-old boys.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: And that was always the charm of comedy. You saw
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: what looked like serious adults behaving like five-year-olds. And now
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: we have five-year-olds trying to.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Act like serious adults.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: That's so dumb.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: That's the best explanation I've ever heard of this. Jimmy Fallon,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: where did you go on vacation? I see the Yellowstone.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: This doesn't seem like your kind of vacation.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: That's funny. I do know to listen, man. I took
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Jenny out to Jackson Hole. which was definitely way too
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: fancy and classy for me, but it was really nice.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: We went and saw the animals in Yellowstone and the
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Grand Tetons. The whole problem out there, man, for real,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: is it's beautiful, but if you show up with my accent,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: everyone thinks you're in the witness protection program. Literally. Every
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: single person in the state of Wyoming assumed that I
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: was about to testify, or I already had. It made
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: for some good conversations. They were trying to, like, get
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: my rate on whacking their aunt or something.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: I'm like, no, I'm a TV guy.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: And it was a real friendly crowd. It was actually
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: very pro-Fox out there. I was thrilled with that. Jackson Hole,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: which is, you know, a big Western vibe. It was,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I would say, you know, in terms of the people
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: I was running into on the street, I would say
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: it was like 90% Republican. It was actually pretty surprising.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: So since when are you a Mr. Outdoorsman out there
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: in Jackson Hole?
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: No, I'm not.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: This is the thing.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: You asked a fair question. I'm clearly not. I like
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: to drive. That's the thing. Because I was spending 12 hours,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: 15 hours a day driving my yellow cab here in
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: the city. When I go on vacation, all we do
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: is just rent a convertible and we drive till the
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: wheels fall off. That's every year. My poor family, but
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: they've learned to like it. We crank the music and
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: just drive around and see stuff.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: So to give you an example, I'm not even kidding.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: When I was in LA for standup this summer, I
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: had a gig at the Grove in Anaheim on a Saturday,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: but that morning, me and Lincoln got in the car,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: drove 300 miles to Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch. How about that? Yeah,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: 300 one way, turned around, came back, and we couldn't
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: get in. Lincoln wasn't cute enough, but there was a time.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: There was a time when Michael was around.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: He got right in back in the day, but it
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: was a different time.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Hey, well, Jimmy Fallon's on every night here at WOR.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: It's a very funny show, 9 to midnight. People get
• 8:20

• 8:44
  Speaker 1: be really bummed out when he learns there's no moment
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: of silence for the hijackers. I mean, I hope somebody,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: I hope somebody can console this dirt.
• 8:51
