Trump Claims Midterms Were Rigged | with Dustin Hoffman, Skyler Gisondo, Donovan Mitchell | Tuesday, November 10

0:05From Studio 6B and Rockabella Center in the heart of New York City, it's for Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon. And I join Jimmy and Kevin, Dustin Hoffman, Tyler Gisondo, Donovan Mitchell, Petrie D, legendary Ruth Curry. 2369. And now, here he is. Give me five!

0:46How you doing? Thank you, guys. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you, guys.

0:56Come on, now. That's a crowd right there. Thank you very much. Enjoy yourself. Enjoy yourself, everybody. Welcome, welcome, welcome to The Tonight Show. This is it. Thank you for watching. Well, guys, President Trump is in the news because last night he called into C-SPAN and you could hear a mystery woman laughing in the background. Take a listen. It looks like we've got a call from the White House. Mr. President, welcome to Washington Journal primetime. Thank you, Mamie, and good luck with the show. I've watched you numerous times, and you do a great job, but good luck with the show.

1:42Based on the happy laugh, experts are 100 % sure it wasn't Melania. That's all they're saying. That's all they're saying. They're 100 % sure. Trump was like, don't worry, that's my assistant Natalie, and definitely not my new Chinese spy girlfriend. Well, it's good to know Trump is at the prank call stage of his presidency. Is my friend Bendover there? How about a sister, Eileen? Meanwhile, the election was a week ago, but Trump has now started claiming that the midterms were rigged. So, apparently, the tranquilizer that hit him on election night finally wore off. He's like, what are we talking?

2:23It's rigged, totally rigged. Yep, Trump's now claiming the election was rigged. Even the antler guy from the January 6th rise was like, you lost, bro. Come on, let's just... Well, there are reports that former White House press secretary Katie Zachariah is auditioning again for the job, despite being fired after just five days. Well, here to talk about this is Katie Zachariah. Welcome to the show, Katie. Thank you.

2:49Yeah, it's actually nighttime. Look, you were famously fired after just five days as White House press secretary. Why are you auditioning for this job again? Because, honestly, Jimmy, I truly feel that I am the best of persons for the job of being the press secretary. So I'm throwing my ring back in the hat. Whoo!

3:14Okay, so do you really think that you're the most qualified for the job? 100-percently, Jimmy. Do you mind if I ask you some basic questions right now? Ooh, a practice sesh! Fun! Okay, go! First up, do you think the Senate will get rid of the filibuster? Well, they should. I mean, why do we need Phil and Busters when we already have Dave and Busters? We don't need two Buster-themed arcades, Jimmy. Right. And what do you think about Pete Hegg says possible impeachment? Okay, I am definitely a fan, but when it comes to Snapple flavors, I personally prefer kiwi strawberry over peach mint. And that's a Snapple fact.

3:59Yay! Okay. Now, Democrats had a huge win in the midterms. What are your thoughts on Mississippi's Scott Cologne? Okay, to be honest, I don't really know much about the Cologne, because I've never had a Cologne-oscopy. Oh, my God, is that bad? That's not what I meant. Just one more question, though. What do you think of Trump asking Dana White to be press secretary? I thought it was very smart, because Dana White is, like, so good on Wheel of Fortune. Oh, I want to buy a vowel, please. All right, thank you. Katie Zachariah, everyone. That's Dana White. Now, Katie, the other way. No, no, that's the wall.

4:36Katie, the other way. Yep, yep. To the left or right. Yep. Either way. Thank you.

4:48Hey, this is crazy. I read that 93-year-old Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley just filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to possibly run again in 2028, when he'd be 95. And he's already working on some campaign slogans. Check these out. First, there's...

5:10Up next, there's... a true Werther's original. There's also...

5:23That's not bad.

5:28Then there's... Up next, there's... A chicken in every pot, a grab bar over every potty. There's also the future is bright. It's really bright, and I'm walking towards it.

5:48And finally, there's Chuck Grassley. They can take away my car keys, but they'll never take away my freedom!

5:56Interesting slogan.

6:02Well, everyone's still talking about the big NVIDIA story. They're the world's largest chip maker, and their CEO, Jensen Huang, was just caught having an affair with an alleged Chinese spy. It's a crazy story for NVIDIA. Wait, NVIDIA, the country in southwestern Africa? No, that's Namibia. This is NVIDIA. Oh, right. Wait, is that where Taj Mahal is? No, that's North India. This is NVIDIA. Oh. Right. Wait, is it the yogurt that makes you go to the bathroom? No, that's Activia. This is NVIDIA. Is it when you get drunk and then answer questions with your friends? No, that's Bartrivia. This is NVIDIA.

6:45Is it the class of cold-blooded vertebrates that includes frogs and toads? That's Amphibia. This is NVIDIA. Oh, all right. It's that thing I always bash into the coffee table. No, that's your tibia. Is it what you do on spring break? That's Gitlitty, bruh. Is it what you get on spring break? That's chlamydia.

7:10Oh, I got it. It's the giant American company that makes chips. Yes, exactly. Awesome. I love Frito-Lay. No! No, that is wrong, Treek! Get out of here now! Treek Trog, everyone! Get him out of my sight! No!

7:35Hmm. Switching gears. Switching gears, the FDA will now require GLP-1 makers to include a warning about a rare risk of blindness. Man, how cruel is that? You finally lose a few pounds, then you can't see yourself in the mirror. Hey. People will probably go off the drug now, and then when swimsuit season comes back, they'll be like, hey, just how blind are we talking? Well, guys, after four years, co-head of DC Studios and acclaimed director James Gunn is no longer with the company. Ooh. Some folks are pretty shocked. Here with more on this is someone whose name is synonymous with DC. It's Batman.

8:13Welcome to the show. Thanks. Thank you. Thanks for having me. Great to be here. So, how are you taking this news about James Gunn? To be honest with you, not great. James and I, we were pretty close. He just came over the other night to watch the Love is Blind reunion. Did you see that, Jimmy? Yeah, I caught some of it. Yeah, yeah. Oh, my gosh. It was insane. Sarah's obviously really struggling with the way John treated her. And he acts like it's just because he was texting an escort one time. Buddy, we can tell it goes much deeper than that. Totally. I mean, this guy admitted he was anti-vax.

8:55He drank raw milk. The red flags were there. I just didn't expect him to make Rob look like a good guy. And don't get me started on him. I won't. Uh, about James Gunn, though... I mean, the way Rob acted at Lansdowne was insane. He and Michaela's bond seemed so genuine, and he just threw it all away. Then he claims it's because he was scared. Buddy, take it from a guy who knows a thing or two about facing his fears. Hello? Yeah, for sure. Hey, Batman, the DC stuff. What drives me the craziest, though, is that Blake just won't admit that he wasn't in love with Erica. That's why he didn't invite her to come out on his boat in Europe.

9:40He's doing all these mental gymnastics, and he could just be like, it just wasn't there for me. Done. I mean, the men on this season, Jimmy, they sucked.

9:57Batman, I get that you're very into Love is Blind, but we have to keep the show going. Is there anything else you want to say about the DC news? Sorry, Jimmy, yes. I just want to say best of luck. Well, I'm sure... I'm sure that means a lot to James Gunn. Oh, sorry, no, I meant to Benita from Love is Blind. She just got engaged. All right, enough. Batman, everybody. Batman, just... Love you, Nick and Vanessa. All right, thank you.

10:26And finally, I saw that a United flight to Newark Airport had to make an emergency landing after a strange odor filled the cabin. Locals on board were like, it's okay, that's just Newark. We have a great show. Dustin Hoffman is here tonight. Dustin Hoffman! Scarlett Gisando is joining us. NBA All-Star Donovan Mitchell is here. Stick around. We'll be right back with Dustin Hoffman. Come on back now.

11:05The first guest is a two-time Oscar winner, a seven-time nominee, and an all-time... One of the greatest actors of all time. He's an icon. This is his new memoir called Look At Me, which came out today. Please welcome the one and only Dustin Hoffman.

11:28Standing ovation! Standing ovation for Dustin Hoffman. Welcome. Welcome back to the show. Dustin, I want to get into your memoir. Congratulations on this. Thanks. I have to thank you before we get into this because I saw you at the Knick game briefly, but I brought my daughter to this game. She's 11 years old. It was her first professional game, and we got treated like royalty at the Garden. They gave us these nice seats, and I kept telling my daughter, like, none of this is normal. Don't get used to this." And then at halftime, we went up to this restaurant, and we're sitting at the restaurant, and the word had gotten around that it was her first game, and everyone was being nice and saying, congratulations on your first game.

12:06And there was an ice cream sundae bar, and she went up to the bar. She goes, can I make a sundae? I go, sure. So she went up, and an elderly gentleman, a nice gentleman came over to talk to her, and he said, you said, I heard it's your first game? And she said, yeah. And he goes, yeah. When my son came to his first game at the Garden, and all he wanted was a hot dog, and that's all he wanted. Then he wanted to leave. He didn't care about the Knicks. And he goes, but now look at you. You're getting an ice cream sundae, and that was you, Dustin Hoffman, talking to my daughter. I'm like, oh, my gosh.

12:34I'm like, Mom is going to freak out. You're the nicest. Thank you so much. We'll never forget it. And your daughter's name is? Franny. Beautiful name. Thank you. Oh, good. Thank you for being so nice to her. Let's talk about the memoir. Look at Me. What's the title? What does that mean, Look at Me? Look at me comes... I should give brief answers, shouldn't I? No, you can go long. We got a lot of time. I work with Laurence Olivier. And he's one of the great actors.

13:07And working with him, I always ask, you know, what made you want to be an actor? I always ask people things like that. And I said, some actors say, oh, I think I have something to say to the audience. I think I have this. and he always said the same word. He said bollocks. In other words, it means... It's English for bull****. Yes. So, anyways, everything I said to him, I said, so what is the real reason that we act? And he did this. Can I get close to you? Sure. Look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me. Wow. And that's... Wow. That's fantastic. Look at me. Look at me, look at me.

13:49Yeah, so it was fantastic. The most honest thing I ever heard. Look at me, look at me, look. And that's for all of us. I think that's for drummers, for trumpet players. Yeah, entertaining. But it's a way of saying, look at me. Yeah. I'm here, and I can do this. Come on. But we talk about 60 years you've been in this business, your acting career. And let me just run down a couple things. You did movies like The Graduate. Midnight Cowboy. Lenny, All the President's Men. Marathon Man. Kramer vs. Kramer, you won the Oscar for that. Tootsie, you were hilarious and great. And Tootsie Rain Man, you won the Oscar.

14:39Wow. When you hear that, do you... Are you humble? Do you not want to hear it? Do you go, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Or what does it mean to you? The truth is that you're distanced from it because you just think, who is that guy? Because even if you play wonderful music, it's hard for you to say, I can do that. I am that. You are it, but it's not you. It's your art, and somehow there's a distance from it. But I'll tell you something I thought was interesting is that I won this on Kramer vs. Kramer. Everybody got awards on that. actor, actress, writers, directors, everything. And we came out, we were getting all these awards in New York, and then we got awards in L.A., and I'm carrying a statue, and I'm ready to go back to New York from Los Angeles, and this guy comes up to me, and he says, Godfather 1.

15:39I said, what? He says, what a great movie, Mr. Pacino. So I said... Bring it down a little bit. And I said, yeah, but I said, but I was really better in Godfather 2. You know I said that. Yeah, that's the one I was really better in, but thank you very much. Good answer. When you're in New York, do people quote you for Midnight Cabo and go, I'm walking here? Yes, yes. Is that constantly, like, at the Knick game, do people yell that to you? I'm walking here. Not at the Knick game. No, no. But yes, I still hear it. And I really think that what happened was is that it was a low-budget film because Jon Voight is playing a male hooker, so it was very hard to even get financing for it then.

16:25Sure. And we have to do a shot outside a long talk, and the director, John Schlesinger, great director who passed, he says, I don't want you guys just looking at each other. I want you walking, walking, walking, walking, and saying the dialogue. And we get to the corner, and we're not done with the dialogue, so we have to keep going back further so the green light will happen because it's stolen, so it's real traffic and we're going to go across the streets. So finally, on the 11th take, we get there just as it's going to be a green light. We start to go and there's a real cab and he's trying to beat the signal and he literally was going to hit us.

17:02And you know how the brain is. I'm thinking, hey, we're making a movie here. But if I say that, it's not going to work. So I'm walking here. And that somehow it caught on. And I've always tried to understand why. And I think my feeling is that the character was Ratzel Rizzo, but he is a human being and he wants dignity. And that's what it meant. Yes!

17:32What do you hope readers take from your memoir? That it's all true. and at least my brain says it's true. But there's good pictures and I have to show you one thing. Yeah, yeah, there's good pictures. Yeah, that's why I read books for the pictures. You know me too well. Here. Can you see that dog? Can you see it? Look at this. Yeah. That's Buffy. That was my favorite dog. He was a lot of different breeds, but he did, you have certain memories. He did something that I will never forget and I was like, what? 12, 13 years old there. He would sleep on the bed with me. I'd get off the bed. I went to the bathroom.

18:16He'd follow me. And one morning, I'm going to the bathroom, and I go and take a leak, right? And afterwards, I turn around to wash my hands, and I hear this noise, and I turn around, and his leg is up, and he is peeing right in the toilet.

18:35That's a well-trained dog. For stories, more fun stories like that, pick up this memoir. It's fantastic. And, by the way, you dedicate it to your family, who I met backstage. Yes. And they're fantastic and lovely. Thank you so much for coming back to our show. Thank you. Dustin Hoffman, everybody! Look at Me is available now. More Tonight Show after the break. Stick around. Let's get out of here.

19:07Our next guest is a very talented actor who stars in the new film Fokker-in-Law, which is in theaters November 25th. Please welcome Skylar Gisando!

19:25Skylar! Thank you. Welcome, welcome, welcome to the show. I'm a big fan of yours, and I want to get into the movie. I want to talk to you about a meme, first of all. Sure, yes. There's a meme of you that's gone around and gone viral. This is the original photo of you. And that's just a nice photo. You're a good-looking guy. Thank you. Thank you. Basically, people are using this and then adding whatever meme they want to. Like, for example, this one says...

20:02How does one become a meme, and when did you find out that you were a meme? I have no idea. I get... Well, two ways. One, uh... I have people I haven't heard from in, like, 15 years texting me, like, Oh, my God, man, you made it. Congratulations. Like, you're a meme. This is so exciting. And then, secondly, like, teenagers stopping me on the street to be like, Hey, I... And you think they're gonna know a show or something. And they're like, Are you the guy from the memes? From the... They're like, Yeah, yeah. Oh, my God. I've also acted in a ton of giant movies. Yeah. I'm a Superman, dude. No way.

20:37But this is just... Is that... This is your Instagram bio. That's just your photo. That's always been my photo. I would think... It's always been your photo. I think I'm 18. It's from the premiere of Vacation, this movie that we did a long time ago. And it's always been there waiting, man. Waiting for... Waiting to be memed. I thought it might be fun if I could show a couple of memes and you could tell me if any of them are remotely true. Sure, sure. Please. Would love that. Thank you. This one says, if he was a waiter at a restaurant and a group of older women were there, he would walk up and say, they didn't tell me there was a 21st birthday happening, and they would eat it up and tip him 30%.

21:14Yes. Would you do that? I would so absolutely do that, 100%. That's what's amazing about most of these are uncannily true. Wow. These memes can be real. How about this one? It says, this guy would definitely buy a Guinness World Record book at the book fair. Dude, I wouldn't make this up. My friend sent me that one, because as my friends were sending me all of these, I was at home with a Guinness World Record book on my coffee table. You have one? Well, I had it on my bookshelf, and that day, I'd been like, I'm gonna take this bad boy down off the shelf and thumb through it when I get a chance in there.

21:54This one's kind of fun. It says, I know that for him it was Nerf or nothing. 100%. 100%. I love Nerf products. I had, like, every sleepover. I had the ones with, there was this one where they had Velcro tips that came with Velcro vests that stuck to it. Oh, yeah. And that was, like, the main event for all of my childhood, is those, yeah. This guy is nerf or nothing. Nerf or nothing. How about this one? It goes, I know that this guy had a crazy peanut allergy. They like that. They like that. They like that. I don't have a peanut allergy, but, so, okay, I've been with my... I've been with my girlfriend for over three years, and she knows I don't have a peanut allergy.

22:35And always, since we met, and to this day, if we're, like, at dinner, and I go to get a bite out of something, she'll go, oh, no, peanuts. And I'll look at her, and she'll be like, why do I always think you have a peanut allergy? So, clearly... She's believing the memes as well? No, but even predating the memes. So I'm saying, something about my vibe clearly radiates... Wow. Peanut allergy. You make me laugh. You're very funny in these movies. But you're also a great actor. You're getting rave reviews for this movie, Primetime. Thanks, Jacob. Thank you. Great. Thank you. Thank you. You just got nominated for a Gotham Award.

23:12Come on, Skyler! That's what I'm talking about, bud! Thank you. Well done, man. Does your family get excited when they see you get nominated for these things? They get too excited. Yeah, my mom, I try to keep, like, a healthy arm's length, you know, from it. But she, every week, emails me, like, updates in the power rankings for awards stuff, and she'll, like, call me after she gets that. Like a gambling website? No, no, no, there's just, like, you... Mom, do you have a problem? I gotta talk to her. Yeah. No, she'll call, like, after seeing a movie that also has, like, awards buzz, and she'll just rant to me about why it's not as good or something.

23:50That's what moms do. I love you, Mom. Yeah, thank you, Mom. And then I'm like, please stop doing this, but I love you. And then my dad, um, both of my parents, like, they were, uh, oceanic engineers. So they didn't really, uh, they don't know a lot about, my dad especially didn't know a lot about the film industry. And I remember when I got primetime, it was, like, incredibly exciting because there was all these, like, reasons to be excited about. So I called him to tell him. And I, like, rattled off all of these names that didn't mean anything to him. I was like, that's like, it's Robert Pattinson, like, Merritt Weaver, A24 movie, like, Lance Oppenheim.

24:22And I'm gonna play an aspiring actor who gets cast to be the decoy in the sting operations to catch pedophiles. And then, like, the line was quiet, and then he goes, and that's, uh... And so that's something you'd be excited about? And it wasn't... He's just playing the vibe, like, are we mad? Are we cool? He was trying to be supportive. He just genuinely didn't know. He's like, so just, sorry, just, and this is good. This is... Robert Pattinson, yeah. What is 824? I don't know if it is. Yeah, I was like, it's good. It's good. Let's talk about Fokker-in-law. Man, oh, man, you're so good at this and very, very funny.

24:56You're Ben Stiller's son. You guys have great chemistry. Thanks, man. And you actually... You were in Night at the Museum with Ben as his son. Yes. Isn't that odd? Yes. Yes. How many years ago was that now? That was about... I was 17. I'm 30 now. So we were... I was 29 when we did Fokker, so it was about 12 years in between, and that had been, like, such a massively formative experience for me. Ben had really, like, taken me under his wing then, and it was, like, funny coming back to Fockers. There was all of these things I would see Ben doing before a take or the way he prepared, and I would realize I've been doing that, like, my entire adult life, and I had forgotten where I got it from, and here it was, like, you know.

25:38Wow. Yeah, it was so cool. That's fantastic. Good evening.

25:45You actually brought a clip. You did a promposal. Yes. A promposal when you were on set night at the museum, and Robin Williams and Ben Stiller helped you with the promposal. Yeah. Yeah. I have some of that video. Let's just take a look at this promposal. Do your thing. Thanks. Dancers, get ready. We've got the big closing numbers. The prom thing. Girls, come through. Sell the dress. Sell the dress. Bill, will you go to prom with me? I'm so glad I'm fine, Bill. Thanks, guys. I really appreciate it. Is that our key to the lead? Yeah. Oh, no, no. Thanks, guys. No, we did what we needed to do. Thanks, guys.

26:21See you. It's not that guy. Ben, Robin Williams, best day ever. Cool. Okay. Wow. Hey, good job. Crazy. But you wrote that script for them? You wrote that bit for them? No, I did not. It's crazy. I wrote, like, I wrote a one... I didn't want to take too much of their time. So I wrote, like, a one-page skit. It would have made for, like, a 15-second video. I thought, we'll do this very quickly, like, on an iPhone. I don't want to bother Rob Williams and Ben Stiller. Right. Like, let them... And when I went to Ben, he immediately was... He, like, flagged down our cinematographer, and he was like, let's really do it.

26:55And the next thing, the whole crew had gathered. And the second we started rolling, you know, Ben was Ben and Robin was Robin, and they took all... The script went out the window, and it was, like, this three-minute thing. And I remember... Even the monkey was great. Crystal the capuchin, amazing. The Meryl Streep of animal actors. Crystal the capuchin. Oh, my God. You work with the best... Now you're working with Ben and Ariana Grande and Robert De Niro. Yes. Do you get to call him Bob at all or no? That's a big... You know that. So that's a big thing. So everybody calls Robert De Niro Bob. Who knows him?

27:28But that felt like he's literally the greatest actor of all time. It would be insane of me to roll up day one and be like, hey, Bob, what's up, man? I agree. So obviously Mr. De Niro. I was starting with Mr., you know... I did that, too. Did you really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're nervous. You have to, yeah. What'd he do? Uh, he... Yep. He's pretty humble. He's not... He's humble, and he's so kind, but he's not... He doesn't want that. He doesn't want that. And so, but... So you know, because you know him, he doesn't want it, but he's not gonna say, hey, just call me ba... Like, because he's so chill.

27:57And so I... Day one, I'm calling him Mr. De Niro. Day two, day... And it's getting to the point where I can tell it's getting weird that I'm continuing to do it. But I just... And, you know, he plays my grandpa. We should have, like, a certain... And so I made it up in my head. I was like, end of week one, Friday, I'm swinging. I'm going for it. I'm doing my first Bob. And if it goes poorly, we're going into the weekend, you know, I can run away. And so we had a great day, and he's a big hugger. So he hugs, like, good morning and good night. So I was like, all right. All right, Bob, thanks for a great week.

28:28And just like, what? And when we parted, I could have been projecting, but I think I saw a glimmer in his eyes of pride that I had gotten there. Oh, God. You made it, man. You made it. You did it. You did it. How do we set up Fokker-in-law and who you play in this? I play Ben's son, Henry Fokker. It's really kind of a continuation of the first movie. But now, instead of Ben being in the hot seat, he is now sort of the problematic parent. And I am bringing my girlfriend, Ari Grande, home. Yes. Yes. Ari. And now Ben is causing all kinds of problems. Oh, my gosh. Scholar Dresondo, everybody. Fokker & Law is in theaters November 25th.

29:13We'll be right back with Donovan Mitchell. Stick around. That's how you do it.

29:30Our next guest is a seven-time NBA All-Star from the Cleveland Cavaliers. He's in town to play the New York Knicks tomorrow night. Please welcome Donovan Mitchell!

29:50Welcome to the show. Thanks for being here. You're one of the greatest... Yeah! Come on! I'm pretty sure that's my mom. No, that's not your mom. It's fans. I want to get into everything, but first, I want to say congratulations. You got married to the beautiful, the talented Coco Jones. Yes, I did. Yes, I did. Beautiful. Look at that photo. Coco's been on the show. She's fantastic. Did she handle all the music at the wedding? Believe it or not, no. I did it all myself. You? Yeah, I took it off her plate. And it's funny. So we were doing the wedding planning. I joked that I did all of it. I did not, obviously.

30:28Yeah. But so it's kind of like we had two tents. She wanted a real intimate ceremony. I was like, I'm inviting my third grade teacher. I'm inviting everybody. So if you look at it and you just pull up, it's like a smaller tent. That's the intimate part where we actually got married. There was about 40 people in it. It was amazing. Shout out to our wedding planner, Christy. She did a great job. And then if you walk out to the left, it was like a bigger tent, like pretty sizable tent. It was a party. And that was my part of the wedding. Really? That was my part of the wedding. Are you into like music and all that stuff?

30:59Love music. It's crazy that I ended up marrying who I married. Yeah, Coco Jones. Yeah, exactly. Did you have a band? I played the drums growing up when I was about in the fourth grade. How did you get into drums? So, yeah, that's me from back in the day.

31:18Yeah, so my mom just had pots and pans, and I started just banging them around, and that's where it started. And then I was in the jazz band growing up. And then I told Quest, I'm coming for your job soon. Great. And then it went from that to now I'm DJing. And my wife bought me a beautiful, full-on DJ set. We went to Louisville, my alma mater, for a little party. We flew our DJ out, who actually did our wedding. Shout out to Demi. And we got out there. It is not easy to DJ. No, and two hours. I did a two-hour set just off the top of my head, just like that. Come on. Everybody loved it. Dude, you really are coming for Questlove's job.

31:56He's a great DJ as well. Yeah, I mean, come on. I watch a lot of, I watch a lot of Rodgers and DJs. So be able to be here in your presence, man. It's seriously a blessing. I appreciate that. Thank you. Please. We're happy you're here. First of many, please come back. I know you just signed a multi-year contract with Adidas. Yes. And this deal will take you through your 10th signature shoe. Yes. 10. 10. Not many athletes can say that they have that. No, I don't know the exact number, so I want to get it wrong. Yeah. I think it's one of a short list. It's very rare. It's just a blessing. That's got to feel like...

32:27It's a blessing. It's an honor. It's something that... Like when you're a kid, you go... You never think that, like, you always look like, I'm gonna be like Kobe. I want to be like Michael Jordan or LeBron. And then to be able to say, like, you're in the likes of those conversations, it never gets old. You earned it, man. You earned it. You deserve it. You actually brought me a custom pair of Donovan Mitchell sneakers. How did you... You were the... Look at this. Come on, bud. I got through it. So we actually got some for your daughters and your wife as well. They're backstage. You did? We got it for the whole fam.

33:03We got it for the whole family. We love you. The whole family. By the way, I took my daughter to a Knicks game, and you destroyed the Knicks. And I was very mad at you. But I was watching with my daughter, and I'm like... She's like, he can't miss. And I was like, yeah, you're right. This guy cannot miss. I go, please cover Donovan Mitchell. Because every time he's not... Every time you're open, you kept draining shots. I'm like, stop! Stop! Everyone's getting depressed at the garden. I mean, come on, man. You're amazing. Boy, look at these. These feel fantastic. They look good on you, though.

33:32They look good. They look good. This is what I'm talking about. Those aren't bad. Dude, I love these. Thank you so much for these. These are the ones for you. My kid's gonna love it. I might have to wear those every night, every show. I'm gonna wear it every show. Yeah, absolutely. I promise. I promise. Yeah, don't watch tomorrow night. Hey, I... Let's talk about the game. You got a big game tomorrow night. You're in town. You're playing the world champion, New York Knicks. We don't have to cheer for that one We don't have to cheer for that one No, we have to cheer for the next But you played on Saturday It didn't go your way What needs to happen tomorrow night to get a different outcome?

34:09Yeah, when you're playing a team like that, right You know, they're battle-tested Obviously having won a championship They've been together even before the NBA Some of those guys from college and whatnot And you understand that, you know The little details matter so much more When you're playing teams like that And when we lost the other night, it really was just second-chance points. You know, giving a team like that multiple opportunities to score in a possession over and over again is definitely going to be tough. So tomorrow, guarding well in the half court. Obviously, Jalen limiting him and making this catch is tough.

34:37Same thing with Cat. And then, you know, closing possessions and getting on doing what we do. I'm not too worried about you. But you're one of the best players in the NBA, and you've made some incredible shots. I've seen it firsthand. I wanted to challenge you to something tonight. This is the ultimate pressure shot. This is a game of beer pong where there's only one cup left. It's time for one cup pong. Here we go.

35:06All right, here are the rules. We only have one cup left. The first person to sink their cup wins. I'm playing with beer in my cup. Donovan, since you have a game tomorrow night, your cup has water. Just to make that clear. Donovan, do you have any experience playing beer pong? I did two years in college, so... All right, bud. All right, here we go. First one in the cup wins, and I just want to apologize in advance. All right, let's do it. Oh!

35:40Yeah, you felt nervous in that one. Don't like this at all. I'm like this. Donovan! I'm right there. I'm right there. Yeah, I know you are. You are. Oh! Oh! Come on, bud! Come on, bud! That's who I'm talking about! Come on! No big deal! No big deal! Come on, bud. Chug that water. Cheers. It's you, bud. Donovan Mitchell, everybody!
