And now, here he is, Jimothy!

to the tonight show. Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy. Oh, my God, Jimmy.

Jimmy, Jimmy.

What are you doing, man?

Well, nothing. I just... No, but I feel like you're mocking me, man.

No, no, no. I love the movie. I'm sorry. I'll take the mustache off. No, no, no.

You don't have to take... No, no, no.

You don't have to take the mustache off. It's just... If you want to do it, you

just got to complete it.

Are... Are you sure you want to do this?

Yeah, I'm sure.

Wow. I feel it.

This is amazing.

Thank you so much.

I'm going to have the best moment of my life. Hey, Jimmy, you're going to do

great, man.

Thank you, Timothy.

He's one of the biggest movie stars in the world.

Timothée Chalamet is my guest tonight.

Timothée's here to talk about his new film, Marty Supreme.

And people are calling it the best performance of his career.

Yeah.

His only better performance was backstage when he said he was excited to

here.

Yeah, Timothy is a favorite to win Best Actor for his performance as a ping

-pong prodigy.

That's why he's great.

Timothy looks at ping -pong balls and sees an Oscar, while the rest of us look

at ping -pong balls and think, I'm going to throw this in a red solo cup.

Well, guys, it's such a fun time of year. Christmas is just a week away.

This is right about the time when F .A .O. Schwartz goes from toy store to

club. You know, that's the time.

Well, get this. According to a new report, the most popular holiday drinks

hot chocolate, apple cider, and espresso martinis.

People were like, are you forgetting eggnog? And everyone said, we are not.

Well, guys, right now, a lot of people are sending out their holiday cards, and

I've already seen some pretty interesting ones.

Really? Yeah, for instance, here's one from President Trump. On the front, it

says, chestnuts roasting on an open fire.

You open it up, it says, along with the Epstein file.

These are just cards that I've seen online.

You've seen this online?

Yeah.

Here's one from Spirit Airlines.

It says, I can see Santa's sleigh. Open it up, it says, through the hole in the

side of the plane.

Why would they send that out? Yeah, I know.

And finally, here's one from Mariah Carey. It says, it's the most wonderful

of the year. You open it up, it says, suck it, Buble. And you go, come on, how

would you?

That doesn't work to spirit.

I don't know, man.

Some big political news. On Friday, the Department of Justice is expected to

release the full Epstein files.

Or as Trump's calling it, the nightmare before Christmas.

That's right, we're about to find out who's really on the naughty list.

It's about time they released the files, because I think everyone's tired of

being micro -dosed names and creepy photos. Like, just give us the whole

Some entertainment news. It was just announced that after 50 years, the

will soon leave ABC and air on YouTube.

So now you'll hear, and the Oscar goes to, and then have to watch the 30

ad for Royal Kingdom.

Save the king!

Yeah, if you think the Oscars on YouTube is strange, I just heard the Tonys are

moving to OnlyFans. Whoa.

Some more TV news this week, Mark. The beginning of the Jeopardy! Second Chance

Tournament, where the best runners -up from this season face off against each

other. And I watched part of it last night, and it doesn't look to me like

picked the best of the best for it. I don't know. You be the judge.

Sabrina Carpenter served up this 2024 hit, singing, Is It That Sweet?

I guess so. Say you can't sleep.

Brian. What is clam chowder? I'm sorry, no. In 2009, this U .S. Airways pilot

miraculously landed an Airbus A320 in the Hudson River.

Kyle. Who's SpongeBob? No. The soundtrack to this 2018 film includes

Shallow. Morgan. What is Citizen Kane? No. His Broadway roles include Max B.

Alleystock in The Producers and Walter Burns in The Front Page.

Stevie. Who's DJ Khaled? No. These crunchy cubes come in a Parmesan version

your Caesar salad.

Jeff. What are Minions? No. Ah, so your Citizen Kane is very interesting.

What is clam chowder?

Switching gears, Southwest Airlines just announced that they're running their

trendiest sale ever by offering domestic tickets for $67.

Yeah, it's 6 -7, because when you ask if the plane will take off, they go...

Some

more business news. I saw that Heinz

just announced a new CEO.

Yeah, they would have done it sooner, but it took forever to get the old one

out.

Hit it on the 5 -7.

5 -7.

You can tell Heinz is in trouble because they made their new CEO out of a bunch

of little CEO packets they sold from McDonald's.

One. Hey. Thank you very much.

What happened was they made the old CEO... Right? What did they do?

They made the new CEO out of the little packets of the old CEO.

Oh. Okay, because that's like... That they stole from McDonald's. Right. It is

cold today. It is very cold. Yeah, you're right. It is so cold. Walking to

I saw a Wall Street stockbroker spooning with Zoran Mamdani. Are you... Yeah.

Complete... Cold. That's cold. That's cold.

Finally, Zillow just announced that the most festive town in America is Santa

Claus, Indiana.

Oh. Yeah.

While the least festive is, but you said you didn't want anything, Idaho.

We have a great show. Give it up for the Roots, everybody.

What a great show tonight.

Everyone's just buzzing about this great show. In fact, I haven't had time to do

my puzzles.

What? You know, I love my puzzles. You love them? Yeah. I love New York Times

games. You guys play those things? Yeah.

I love it. Wordle's great.

I do Mini Cross.

Yeah, Mini Cross is a lot. Mini Cross is fun, man. But also, I love Connection.

Oh, yeah.

That's my jam. I didn't do it today.

Go now. Today got away from me, but I could do it right now. You guys want to

it together?

Time for Tonight Show Connections. Here we go.

Okay, so the way it works is there are 16 random words or phrases, and our goal

is to find four groups of four words that share a common theme.

Okay, once we think we have one, I'll click Submit and see if we're right.

Higgins, did you see anything here?

Yeah, you know, I think I do. I see gin and juice, tequila, red red wine, and

fireball. Ah, I got you.

Oh, that makes sense, right? Yeah, let's try it.

Places you try to balance your elf in the show before you say, why am I doing

this?

We've still got the connection.

We've still got the connection, so it works.

All right, so that just leaves us with I'm Vixen, Santa's sack, snowballs.

I wonder what this one... Wow, a nutcracker. And the nutcracker. Yeah.
