This is big.
Today, the Trump administration ordered marijuana to be reclassified, classified as a less dangerous drug. People are excited. After the announcement, Trump's approval rating skyrocketed with cashiers at Trader Joe's. Of course, the president doesn't smoke weed. Whenever Trump says, let's burn one, he's talking about the Epstein files. Yep, the White House has reclassified marijuana as a less dangerous drug.

The Trump administration is close to a $500 million deal to rescue Spirit Airlines. Now, if the bailout happens, the government will own 90% of spirit. You'll know Trump owns Spirit Airlines when the layovers become combovers. You'll know Trump owns all of Spirit Airlines when the carry ons can be no bigger than Marco Rubio. Oh, get up there. Get up there. Are you having fun in there? You know Trump owns Spirit Airlines when they go even more bankrupt. Hey, this is going. Thank you. This is going viral. Trump hosted the NCAA champ Georgia women's tennis team. And the White House released this photo. This is real. Check out this photo. Trump was like, all right, now let's try one with the ladies behind the curtain. Is that insane?
I don't care.
It's not even funny. We can't even. That's not even a joke. It's just craziness. It's a real photo. Can I just see that photo again?

Oh, my goodness. Hey. Well, some business news. Apple CEO Tim Cook is stepping down soon, and he just said that his biggest regret was flubbing Apple Maps. You can tell he really meant it because he said that from his car while floating in the lake. Yeah, he said Apple Maps is his biggest regret. Then everyone who spent $4,000 on the Apple Vision Pro is like, you sure about that? Hey, I read that the health tech company Whoop has tripled their valuation to $10 billion. In fact, it now ranks number four out of all wearable fitness brands.

It is the end of the week, and that's usually when I catch up some personal stuff. I check my inbox, I return some emails, and of course I send out thank you notes. And I was running a bit. Running a bit behind today, so I thought if you guys wouldn't mind, I'd like to write out my weekly thank you notes right now. Is that okay with you, James? Can I get some thank you note writing music, please? Whomp. There he is right there. Remembering an old joke. Thank you, Mother's Day, for being a nationwide test to see if Amazon's same day delivery really works.

Thank you, arch floor lamps for always looking like you're saying so. Whatcha readin'? Thank you, wedding registries for being a convenient way to show your dearest friends how much you care after clicking on the bottom button that says organize from least to most expensive. I don't like it that much. Got a cutting board on there anywhere? Did I ever give you a cutting board for a present? I think you did. I had a phase where I was giving people cutting boards, but it wasn't

Kate Hudson
I had a beignet cake.

Ooh.
Kate Hudson

Kate Hudson

You're joking.
Kate Hudson

Jimmy Fallon
22 years old.
Kate Hudson
Oh, yeah.
Jimmy Fallon
Wait, is he going to school?
Kate Hudson
He's Graduating college in two weeks.
Jimmy Fallon
I have to send a card.
Kate Hudson
We realized.
Jimmy Fallon
Haven't had to send a card.
Kate Hudson
We realized that. I think. I think I could get this wrong and offend some. Some generation in my family, but I think he's the first person ever in my family history to graduate college.
Jimmy Fallon
Wow.
Good man.
I think. Congratulations, Ryder.
Kate Hudson
He's doing it. He did it. He followed through.

Oh, my God. I gotta go say hi to him. Cause didn't he come up? Didn't he play drums?
Kate Hudson
That was Bing.
Jimmy Fallon
Oh, Bing.
Kate Hudson
Yeah. Bing's our drummer.
Jimmy Fallon
He's the drummer.
Kate Hudson
He's a great drummer. He's still drumming. He's an amazing drummer. He drums till his hands bleed. That's his whole thing.
Unidentified Speaker / Possibly a Show Announcer or Producer
Wow.
Kate Hudson
He comes in the kitchen and he's drumming, and then he always just comes in and goes, whoa, respect. But he's like, okay, okay.
Jimmy Fallon
Last time you were here was for. You've been nominated for Golden Globe, and it was for your fantastic performance in song Sung Blue. And it was great, and you were amazing in it, and there was Oscar buzz in the air, and then sure enough, you get nominated for an Oscar.
Congratulations. That's what I'm talking about. Come on, bud. I'm so happy.
Everybody loves you.
Kate Hudson
That's the color. I'm kind of in the same color.
Jimmy Fallon
We're kind of in that color too. We're in, like, the greens. The greens, yeah. Here you guys. You are celebrating with. With fam. Is that. Oh, there is.
Kate Hudson
Yeah, there's Ryder. Yeah, there's Ryder and Danny.
Jimmy Fallon
And I feel like your mom is an unbelievable. Can I just say how she's just iconic and I love her so much. Please tell her hi.
Kate Hudson
I will.
Jimmy Fallon
I love her. I think about her. I'm like, dude, Goldie Hawn is unbelievable.
Kate Hudson
She's the best. And I realize that every time I call her on FaceTime, she always has some roller in her hair. I called her today, and I'm like, what is in your hair? It's in your hair. She always puts one of the big Velcro rollers, and she just leaves it in all day long.
Jimmy Fallon
I didn't know that people still use rollers anymore, but they do.
Unidentified Speaker / Possibly a Show Announcer or Producer
Oh, yeah.
Jimmy Fallon
Really?
Kate Hudson
Oh, yeah.
Jimmy Fallon
My daughter had. She bought rollers because we went to Home Goods, which is the best store. Have you ever been to Home Goods?
Kate Hudson
I know Home Goods. Yeah.
Jimmy Fallon
It is unbelievable.
Kate Hudson
Yeah.
Jimmy Fallon
It's the weirdest store I've ever been in in my life. I'm like, honey, do we need a six foot fork? It's like, weird stuff. So she got these weird bendy rollers and so. Yeah, she's 11 years old.
Kate Hudson
Oh, those are the cool rollers.
Jimmy Fallon
Oh, really?
Kate Hudson
And they sleep. You can sleep in them.
Jimmy Fallon
Yeah, she sleeps in them. Yeah.
Kate Hudson
And then your hair is really perfectly curly. Very.
Jimmy Fallon
She's so into it now.
Kate Hudson
Yeah, that's like. How old is she?
Jimmy Fallon
12.
Kate Hudson
Yeah, that's the age.
Jimmy Fallon
She's loving it right now. But the accolades for you keep coming in. By the way, I just saw you're on Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People of 2020.
Come on.
You're not stopping. It's so fun.
Kate Hudson
You're not stopping. I'm not. I was like, don't.
Jimmy Fallon
Don't stop. We want more Kate Hudson. I love it. And more running point. By the way, congrats on YouTube.
Kate Hudson
I'm so happy it's out.
Jimmy Fallon
Season two. It's out now. It's out. And dang, it's a funny show. Justin Theroux. Chet Hanks is my dude.
Kate Hudson
Oh, Chad. Oh, Chad.
Jimmy Fallon
He's coming on. Chet's coming on next week.
Kate Hudson
Oh, good. Chet.
Jimmy Fallon
I love him.
Kate Hudson
I have to tell a Chet story. I really want to tell this so people know that this happened. I get this phone call from a friend of mine, and the phone call's like. And I don't know what's happening. I'm kind of checked out of, like, the news, and I get this phone call and he goes, hey, hey, is Chet still stuck in Columbia? And I was like, I'm sorry. Like, yeah, he's stuck in Colombia and he can't. He can't leave the country.
Jimmy Fallon
This is not the script.
Kate Hudson
And I'm like, oh, I am in. I'm playing Isla Gordon. I'm in my show.
Jimmy Fallon
In your life.
Kate Hudson
Oh.
Jimmy Fallon
And he really was stuck in Columbia.
Kate Hudson
He was stuck in Columbia and he found his way out, I guess his
Jimmy Fallon
friend, because he didn't bring his passport. So he was.
Kate Hudson
Yeah, he didn't bring his passport. It's a very Chet story.
Jimmy Fallon
I cannot wait to talk to him about this. I love it. It's not part of the script. It's not his character. No, but Chet is stuck in Columbia.
Kate Hudson
Please bring it Please bring it up, because it's a funny story.
Jimmy Fallon
What is happening with season two?
Kate Hudson
Season two is basically Justin Theroux's character. Cam, who gave me my job as president, who used to be the president, comes back into the picture and, you know, kind of throws me off my game a little bit. And it's just more family dynamics, lots of you.
Jimmy Fallon
He wants to take over the basketball team.
Kate Hudson
Well, I mean, you know, he's sort of kind of gunning for a job, if not his old job back. You know, the writing is great.
Jimmy Fallon
It's really good.
Kate Hudson
It's so funny.
Jimmy Fallon
Ike Barinholz.
Kate Hudson
Ike makes an appearance this year. He's gonna be in it. He's so. And you know what? When you're working with people that write the way they do, it's like it just doesn't stop.
Jimmy Fallon
Machine Gun comedy is so much comedy. And Ray Romano.
Kate Hudson
Ray. Ugh.
Jimmy Fallon
Ray Romano's in this season. The greatest.
Yeah.
Kate Hudson
He's so great. I feel so lucky.
Jimmy Fallon
It's fantastic. But congrats again on season two.
Kate Hutchin, everybody. Season two of Running Point is out now on Netflix. Stick around, everybody. Come on back.
Unidentified Speaker / Possibly a Music or Show Staff
Ye Payment.
Jimmy Fallon
Our next guest is a Grammy nominated,
multi platinum artist whose brand new album, the Great Divide was just released at midnight.
Please welcome Noah Kah.
Welcome to the show. Congratulations. It is officially out. Cause it's at midnight now. The album's out. It's released in the world.
Noah Kahan
It's in the world.
Jimmy Fallon
This is it.
Noah Kahan
Yeah. I'm excited. I'm nervous. I've been name searching myself all evening.
Jimmy Fallon
You really are. I know, but you're having a great time right now. You have a new album. You have a new documentary. You're gonna be on Saturday Night Live. Oh, yeah. And you're about to go on a huge stadium tour this summer.
Noah Kahan
We have a lot, a lot coming up. I'm booked and busy right now.
Jimmy Fallon
You are booked and busy. By the way, the tour is already breaking records. I want to say that you're the first artist to play four consecutive nights at Fenway park. And you. Not only. Not only that, you already sold them out.
Yeah, you sold them out, bud. Let's go. Hey, man, I.
As a. How does it feel?
Noah Kahan
It feels good. I. I feel like Drew Barrymore in
Jimmy Fallon
Fever Pitch, the best movie ever made.
Noah Kahan
Yeah, I did recreate that scene the last time I was there. I sprinted across the outfield.
Jimmy Fallon
Yeah.
Noah Kahan
Oh, yeah.
Jimmy Fallon
Took it all in, dude. It's the greatest. It's. It's one of the coolest places to ever Be. And what a great city. I mean, everyone. I mean, you. You've done Fenway before, right?
Noah Kahan
We did two Fenways. Last year was the most unbelievable moment of my life. Like, we stood up on the Green Monster and played a setup there, and my family was there and everyone I knew came. It was amazing.
Jimmy Fallon
You do stuff like that. You sell out a stadium. But then 10 years ago, didn't you, you sold 77 tickets to a concert.
Noah Kahan
Yeah, that was a big deal for me. That was like $80 profit after it was all said and done. But I remember I used to use my mom's credit card to buy the remaining tickets that weren't sold out to my shows.
Jimmy Fallon
And to just have a sold out
Noah Kahan
show, I just wanted it to say sold out. And so I would use my mom's card and she would get like a $500 charge. She'd be like, what the hell happened? And I'm like, well, I sold the show out.
Jimmy Fallon
Technically, your son's a star.
Noah Kahan
Yeah, a lot has changed, for sure.
Jimmy Fallon
When did you start writing music and decided to make a career out of it?
Noah Kahan
I started writing music when I was 9 or 10 years old. Yeah, I listened to the Beatles with my dad and I had the Beatles songbook. And then I started writing my own songs, and they were all super sad and depressing. So I don't know what was going on. We went to the Bahamas. I had a great childhood.
Jimmy Fallon
But you had to really pull from a different.
Noah Kahan
I don't know what was going on back then. Something was happening within me that I still don't understand.
Jimmy Fallon
Let's talk about. I want to talk about the documentary that was released last week on Netflix. It's called Noah out of Body. It goes really deep into you and your family and the recording of the record, but also very personal stuff.
Noah Kahan
Yeah, it was definitely a. It was an amazing experience filming it because I was just having conversations with my family that I might not have ever had without being prompted to by, like, the folks filming.
Jimmy Fallon
That's interesting.
Noah Kahan
It was the releasing that I didn't like. I was compartmentalizing the fact that it might ever come out. And I was like, something will probably happen in production that doesn't allow this thing to see the light of day. And it kept getting closer and closer. And it came out and it was scary, but also beautiful to see people connect with it and to draw their own connections with their family and their lives. And it's been really special to see it out in the world.
Jimmy Fallon
Congrats. Congrats on that.
Thank you.
One of your more popular songs, of course, is Stick Season.
Yes.
From your last album. In the film, you talk about how you wrote that song, and it's pretty interesting story.
Noah Kahan
Yeah. So I basically was just at this Airbnb, and I was just putting songs on TikTok just to kind of see what they would do. I put a song, a verse of Stick Season on, and basically just talking about how much I suck and how lonely I am, which is my almost always inner dialogue, which is great. And then I took an edible and went to sleep.
Christian Hubicki
And then I.
Noah Kahan
And I was right before, like, I got started to kind of. The edible started to kick in, I started getting real insecure. So, like, I'm gonna delete this. No one's looking at it. And then the edible really kicked in, so I fell asleep before I could do anything good.
Jimmy Fallon
And then I woke up the next
Noah Kahan
morning, and, like, all these people had commented on it, and suddenly I was like, there's something here. And that's kind of how the song started. And it became this huge TikTok sensation, I guess.
Jimmy Fallon
And now you have to finish the song.
Noah Kahan
Yeah. And I basically, like, I wrote the first verse and chorus in, like, 45 minutes. And then once I found out that people liked it, it took me a year and a half to finish it because I was like, now, now people care about it, and I can't do anything good if people are watching. So Imposter Syndrome was on full display, but we eventually got a second verse down.
Jimmy Fallon
Is it tough to write all this stuff? Cause what album is this for you?
Noah Kahan
This is my fourth album.
Jimmy Fallon
It's a lot of music.
Noah Kahan
It's a lot of music.
Jimmy Fallon
Do you have writer's block or do you ever.
Noah Kahan
Always. I remember when I was 16 years old, before I'd even released any music, I had writer's block just on my own, and I was the only person listening to music I would like. I would write a song, and then I would cry to my mom. I'd be like, I'll never write anything good again. And that's been, like, following me around my whole career a little bit. It's not funny at all.
Jimmy Fallon
No, no. It's actually sad.
Noah Kahan
Yeah, it's actually really sad.
Jimmy Fallon
But you keep writing great music. Congrats. You're getting great reviews for this album. It's fantastic. People have only heard a couple songs, but now it's out. But you're getting great reviews. Congrats.
Noah Kahan
Thank you so much. Yeah, it's been really cool. Thank you.
Jimmy Fallon
Keep doing it.
You keep topping yourself.
You sell out Fenway and now you sell it out four times. Don't stop, dude. Keep going.
Noah Kahan
I know there's gotta be a ceiling to all this that I have to approach.
Jimmy Fallon
No, you can't stop your video for the Great Divide. By the way, a lot of the Internet is talking about because you're in the gas station here and you find yourself kind of a gas station connoisseur.
Noah Kahan
I feel like I'm like the Michelin guide for gas stations.
Jimmy Fallon
Thank you.
Noah Kahan
The Guy Fieri of gas stations. Some might say.
Jimmy Fallon
Some might say.
Noah Kahan
I have a ranking system.
Jimmy Fallon
Talk to me about it.
Noah Kahan
And look. Okay.
Jimmy Fallon
Yeah.
Noah Kahan
So it's basically like you start with friendliness. Like if the person behind the counter will look you in the eye is always a good start.
Jimmy Fallon
Oh, I like that.
Noah Kahan
Doesn't happen as much as you think. Second is bathroom cleanliness. Like if I am going to get some kind of disease from walking into the bathroom, that puts you down pretty low in the rankings.
Jimmy Fallon
Yeah. Sometimes you only want to touch the handle. You're like, I'm just gonna kick it open.
Noah Kahan
A Dyson fan is always good. One of those fans where you don't have to touch the hand.
Jimmy Fallon
Those blades.
Noah Kahan
Yeah, the blades. I don't know how they work, but yeah, Dyson fan is big. And then of course, I need some, like, deep cut snacks. I'm talking like those pickles and the weird juice. I'm talking.
Jimmy Fallon
Yeah.
Christian Hubicki
What are those?
Jimmy Fallon
Dude, I got a pickle once. I love gas stations as well. I got a pickle in Kool Aid.
Noah Kahan
What is what? I've never actually tried one of those. What does it taste? Does it just taste like a pickle?
Jimmy Fallon
It's not good.
Noah Kahan
I can't imagine it doesn't look very
Jimmy Fallon
good, but I'd do it again. Oh, God, in a heartbeat. Yeah, I live to tell the story. Yeah, but what snacks are you talking about?
Noah Kahan
The pickles, the Muddy Buddies. Muddy Buddies? Any kind of like those cinnamon toast breakfast bars that they tried to pretend were healthy for a couple years. I remember that, but it says it's for break.
Jimmy Fallon
Straight sugar, 800 calories.
Noah Kahan
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then all sorts of different kind of Dr. Pepper. They have the Dr. Pepper strawberries and cream one. I really like that one. Ooh, Just some more deep cut stuff. Lemon heads, grape heads, watermelon heads. Any of the heads are good?
Jimmy Fallon
Yes, this is fantastic.
Noah Kahan
That kind of stuff.
Jimmy Fallon
Next time you come on. We want to talk about specific gas stations and we give them props. We'll give them Shout outs. Congrats again on this album. What's the vibe of it? What can people expect in this one?
Unidentified Speaker / Possibly a Show Announcer or Producer
Ooh.
Noah Kahan
Yeah, it's pretty sad. It's pretty. I don't know. If something's going wrong in your life and it's raining.
Christian Hubicki
I recommend.
Jimmy Fallon
Perfect. Nothing more needs to be said. Noah Khan, everybody.
The great Divine is available now.
And the documentary out of Body is streaming on Netflix. More Tonight show after the breaks to
grab

force is real. As accepted beats are perfected. The hood is infested with.
Jimmy Fallon
Our next guest is a talented game player who you can see in the epic 50th season of Survivor, which airs Wednesdays at 8pm on CBS and Paramount. Please welcome Christian Houbicki. Christian. Christian, welcome to the show.
Christian Hubicki
Thank you.
Jimmy Fallon
Thank you for being here. I have a lot to say. Do you? Yep. If you haven't watched last night's episode of Survivor yet, plug your ears. Here's what happened.
Christian Hubicki
Yeah, Please tell me.
Jimmy Fallon
I have. Here's my version of the game.
Christian Hubicki
Please tell me.
Jimmy Fallon
Thank you. Yes, I will regale you. So I talk to Jeff and I have all these crazy ideas for Survivor. I'm a big fan of the show. So I come up with these ideas and he calls me back and they have great producers on the show, and they go, here's this idea that we have. And I go, oh, I love this. It's perfect.
Christian Hubicki
Great.
Jimmy Fallon
And there's a twist called the Jimmy Fallon one in the urn. Twist. And hold your applause. And the. On last night's episode, you got the chance to complete a puzzle. Now, if you did it, you could write someone's name down as a secret vote for the next tribal council. But if you didn't finish the puzzle, you had to write your own name down at tribal. Long story short, you voted yourself off of Survivor 50. Now that we're both in the same place, all I have to say is, Christian, I am so sorry. I am so sorry about this. It wasn't supposed to be like this. It wasn't supposed to be you. And I felt so bad. Cause I love you.
Christian Hubicki
Well, it was a rollercoaster being there, I'll be honest.
Jimmy Fallon
Yeah, but, I mean, I am sorry, but technically, you made history last night. No one's ever voted for themselves.
Yeah.
In 50 seasons of Survivor. Look, what does it feel like writing your own name down?
Christian Hubicki
You know, it's a surreal experience. You go there to, you know, theoretically vote other people off the aisle, and I'm like, what am I doing here? In fact, I was up in the voting booth, and I have to write my own name. So of course, I write a delicate script, you know, because, you know, it's my own name. I want to treat it with respect. Of course, you're a classy gentleman, as one does. And I'm basically as like, I'm just gonna do my five minute set roasting Jimmy Fallon. So I just decided, it's like, you know, finally, all my frustrations in this game I can take out in the best way possible on a celebrity 8,000 miles away. So I did a whole five minute set with jokes about, you know, my distaste for the advantage.
Jimmy Fallon
But Jeff called me, actually, as they were editing the episode, and he was like, hey, Christian says a bunch of funny stuff, but I don't know. Do you care if we leave it in? I go, leave it all in. You have to give the guy something.
Christian Hubicki
Well, unfortunately, the episode's only so long, so they did cut some things. Like, you know, I think you don't
Jimmy Fallon
have to say what you said. It's all right. We don't have.
Christian Hubicki
I didn't blame you for famous incidents in history such as the Titanic and. Or Hindenburg. Blame you for those things.
Jimmy Fallon
But you didn't finish the puzzle, which, by the way, you're the puzzle king.
Yeah.
And then the puzzle flipped out into the water.
Noah Kahan
Yeah, just.
Jimmy Fallon
And then you had to come back to camp and tell everyone the truth. What were you thinking on that boat ride?
Christian Hubicki
Well, I mean, on the boat ride home, I had no idea what you gave me.
Noah Kahan
It was a letter that you packaged
Christian Hubicki
up to me, and so I was supposed to read this letter back at camp, and so I had no idea what was in it. So if I knew what was in it, I could be like, okay, what kind of story, what kind of thing can I pretend that this is or spin it in some way? But I had to read it in front of everyone. And then I was like, oh, you have to vote for yourself.
Noah Kahan
I was like, well, I have very
Christian Hubicki
little time to improvise here.
Jimmy Fallon
But you were great, and you were very fast on your feet in real life. What is your job?
Christian Hubicki
I'm a robotics professor, in case you haven't noticed from the shirt. So.
Jimmy Fallon
Hey, thank you.
Christian Hubicki
Thank you. We love people who love robotic professors.
Jimmy Fallon
Yeah, I like robots, so I love robotics. Do you think robotics could ever help you if you ever deserted on an island?
Christian Hubicki
Well, I mean, it was very helpful on survivor in some ways. I mean, like, you know, just being a science professor who does lecture y things like, you know, how to start fires with glasses. You know, we did this in the first episode. We started a fire with some fair sided glasses. Right?
Jimmy Fallon
Yeah.
Christian Hubicki
You can use search algorithms to look for idols, which I've done and, you know, explained at great length for people who care. But in addition. But also there are things that you never prepare for as a professor to do on the island. Like one. Like I had to do this whole fake heist at tribal council where I
Jimmy Fallon
was like, that was genius.
Christian Hubicki
Yo. Thank you. So I had to create a distraction for my buddy Rick Devins. We all love Rick Devins. Yeah, he's great. Yes, yes. Please give it up for Rick Devins. You know where you tripped on purpose. I tripped on purpose. Which is not. Again, that's not part of the. When you go to a robot school, you don't know. You don't learn to do that.
Jimmy Fallon
No, no.
Christian Hubicki
But you do it anyway. When the moment calls for it, you do it.
Jimmy Fallon
So you as a distraction fall down so that Rick could hide.
Christian Hubicki
Everyone else is looking elsewhere to me. And he hides a secret idol. Fake idol.
Noah Kahan
Fake.
Jimmy Fallon
Fake idol.
Christian Hubicki
At tribal. It's incredible, actually.
Jimmy Fallon
This whole season has been incredible. And honestly, I gotta say, you are one of the best players to do the. To ever play survivor. And I felt and I love you.
Christian Hubicki
Thank you. That's very kind.
Jimmy Fallon
And you're a young man, which means that you could always come back if they decide to ask you back. And I think you should come back. And I just think that you're fantastic. And I really want to say I'm sorry again.
Christian Hubicki
Hey, and I talked apology accept this.
Jimmy Fallon
All right. That's what I'm talking. Very good, man. That's the best.
Of course.
Can't wait to see you on the jury.
Oh, yeah.
Christian Hubicki
It's gonna be a lot of fun. It's a fun season.
Noah Kahan
Check it out.
Jimmy Fallon
Seriously, it's the best season. Also, Jeff Probst from this show. The audience decided that he should be in a challenge.
Christian Hubicki
Yes.
Jimmy Fallon
So it was a legendary episode and you beat Jeff Prose.
Christian Hubicki
What can I say?
Jimmy Fallon
Come on, bud.
So you got that going for you as well.
Christian Hubicki
Exactly. Exactly.
Jimmy Fallon
Yeah.
Thank you so much for coming on the show and thank you for accepting my apologies. You're a good man. I'll see you again.
Thank you.
Christian, Ricky, everybody.
Survivor 50 airs Wednesdays at 8pm on CBS and Paramount. Plus we'll be right back, everybody. That was fantastic.

The beats of spark, rap, stretch and sound long enough to be considered a gown. Thoughts brim sharp enough to be considered a Crown. The name reads these. Yeah. Two for Ted.

Kate Hudson
Hello,
Unidentified Speaker / Possibly a Show Announcer or Producer
everyone. Having a good life? Nice. I. I'm not sure about this mustache either, to be honest. It's good to be here, though. It's good to be off my phone for the next five minutes. I. I got a terrible phone addiction. Spent about seven hours a day on my phone. I don't even know what I'm looking for. I just scroll. I watched a woman I've never met before make a lasagna from start to finish on Instagram Live. I was there while it was in the oven, just waiting. I was like, this looks great. Hope she comes back soon. It's nearly ready. Be ashamed if she burnt it. I was on Instagram the other day. I got followed by this girl I went to school with. Wasn't even friends with the school. She followed me. I was like, I wonder what she's been up to all these years. Followed her back, went through every single one of her photographs. Ten years of her life, an hour of mine. Turns out she's engaged to a man called Trevor. I was like, I wonder what Trevor's all about. Clicked on Trevor's profile. I did a deep dive on Trev. Don't do it. He's boring. But Trevor's got a dog. He's made a little profile for the dog. So I clicked on the dog's profile. Suddenly it's four o' clock in the morning. I met Trevor's third cousin's wedding in Mexico. Mexico. And Trevor's not even there. Is this her life? I. I like this thing where, when what tough guys do on social media, when they're in a bad mood or they've fallen out with someone in their personal life, they'll do this thing where they'll, they'll post a picture of a dangerous animal and I have a quote about loyalty on it. Uh oh. Saw this guy the other day, put a picture of a lion with a quote. The quote said, I'm loyal to my core, but if you cross me, you'll find out my bite is way stronger than your bark. I was just like, did the neighbors park you in again, Gary, like the lion you are, you've taken straight to Facebook. Slow down. Move faster. You're scaring us. Terrified of sharks. I was up the other night about three in the morning watching a shark program on YouTube. Healthy stuff. The guy hosting today was like, do you know sharks are More scared of us than we are of them. I was like, really? I don't think sharks stay up all night watching documentaries about me later in the shows. Like last year, there was only 60 unprovoked shark attacks worldwide. 60 unprovoked. What's a provoked shark attack? Who's doing that? Sounds like the worst bachelor party ever. Let's go to California, boys, find a great white and just start dressing the groom up as a seal. Like, woo. Shark's like, will you stop provoking me? I like to watch football. My new favorite thing is to watch fellow fat men watch football. Something amazing about watching a man who couldn't open his fridge without taking a breather shouting at a television screen, telling a 22 year old multimillionaire athlete that he's a complete waste of space. I like the victory people feel when their team wins. Like they contribute. But we did it. We won. We're the best. But you didn't do anything. You drank 14 pints. You have ketchup on your chin. It's your child's birthday. Go home. I've started boxing. You can't tell yet. There's this guy at my gym though, doesn't leave me alone. He's always sweating his topless. I've never seen him exercise. First time I was in there though, he appeared from the shadows and he was like, what are you training for? I was like, what do you mean? He's like, you want a six pack? You want to get a hench? I was like, I just want a chin, actually. Just, just one chin would do. He does his thing though. When I'm punching the punch bag, he comes up behind me and grabs my arms and starts punching the punch bag with my arms. He shouts really encouraging abuse at me. He's like, carry on like this. People won't call you John Snow globe behind your back anymore. I'm like, who's been calling me that? This was about 10 minutes the other day. He's like, any questions? I was like, yeah, when are you. You not here, guys. I've been red rich and thank you so much. Thank you very much.
Jimmy Fallon
