What is. What do you. But Trump wants the event to be rescheduled within 30 days. And FBI Director Kash Patel said he expects the security at the next dinner to be entirely different because by then he'll be fired.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Completely different.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

Well, some more news from Washington today. King Charles and Queen Camilla arrived in the US to begin a four day visit marking America's 250th anniversary. Apparently, America and the UK are that rare couple who celebrate their divorce.

Trump and Charles spent a lot of time together and we actually got our hands on the audio of their private meeting. Listen to this. It's so nice to have you here, Mr. King. Quick question. Have you met Harry Potter?

[Jimmy Fallon]

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

Well, some sports news. There was a cool moment in the NBA playoffs this weekend when LeBron James threw his son Bronny the first father Son. Alley oop in NBA history. Here to break it down is our Tonight Show NBA correspondent Mick Carroll.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Thanks for having me, Jimmy.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

Mac time.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

So tell us about this play.

[Mick Carroll]

It was unbelievable. Early in the second, Lakers up by 10. LeBron grabs the rebound, pushes it up the court, sees his son Bronny streaking down the right wing, throws a perfectly

[Jimmy Fallon]

placed lob, and bang.

[Mick Carroll]

My dad never even said he loved me.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

Sorry, what was that?

[Mick Carroll]

That was NBA history, Jimmy. I mean, we're talking about probably the greatest player of all time, still dominating at 41 years old while sharing the court with his actual son. If you don't like that, you're just like my dad when he found my poetry.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

You doing okay, Mack?

[Mick Carroll]

Yeah, I'm doing great, Jimmy. I mean, I think this LeBron Bronny stuff might be bringing up some of my own issues, but I'm a professional, you know, I can watch LeBron set his son a pin down screen without thinking about the time my dad left me in the middle of the woods and said a real wouldn't need a compass. I was out there two months. Jimmy had to learn to speak bear just to survive.

[Stanley Tucci]

Wow.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

I'm. I'm so sorry.

[Mick Carroll]

No, no, no. Do not be. I wrote a great poem about it. Grr. Roar.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Grr.

[Mick Carroll]

Salmon. If you speak bear. It's really beautiful.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

I'm sure it is. Look, Mac, not all of us can have LeBron James for a dad, but we can do our best to be a LeBron James for our kids.

[Mick Carroll]

Amen, brother. You know what? I'm gonna start telling my son I love him every single night just as soon as he finds his way out of those woods.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

Oh, come on.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Oh, my gosh. Mac Carroll, everybody. Mac.

[Mick Carroll]

I miss my bear, dad.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

All right.

[Diljeet Dosanjh]

Ooh.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

American released this message about the news. Take a look.

[American Airlines Spokesperson]

You may have heard that American Airlines isn't interested in merging with United. But just for the record, it's not because we don't like United. It's just we're not ready for anything that serious right now. Like, the chemistry between United and American is there for sure, but American just has a lot going on, you know, with work and stuff, so it's really just a timing thing. But, United, you're great, and we really value your friendship, and we'll probably regret this someday. American Airlines. It's not you, it's us.

And where people's jobs are today.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

Yeah.

[Stanley Tucci]

Right. That is with AI and all that stuff. So that's very much a part of the film.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

It's become. It has, like a cult following to it as well, this film. It's super fun. The Internet should thank you for all the quotable memes and lines. Gird your loins.

[Stanley Tucci]

Yes. Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

You had. You came out the. Gird your loins. Was that in the original script?

[Stanley Tucci]

No, no, no. It was David Frankel who came. We came up with a list of them and David was the one who came up with that. I had a few of them which didn't make it in because, you know, it'd have a different rating.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

Yeah, of course. Yeah.

[Stanley Tucci]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

And after making the first movie, Emily Blunt now has become your sister in law.

[Stanley Tucci]

Yes.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

You're married to her sister, Felicity. Beautiful. I met her backstage. Congratulations.

[Stanley Tucci]

Yes. Thank you.

[Mick Carroll]

Isn't that.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Thank you.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

Amazing how that comes about.

[Stanley Tucci]

No, it's. The whole thing is weird. Yeah. No, but it's also so wonderful. I Love, Emily. She was my friend. She was only 22 years old when we did the film. I was 75.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. That's right.

[Stanley Tucci]

You know, but yeah, yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

I heard that on your wedding day, you had. Instead of a wedding cake, you had wheels of cheese.

[Stanley Tucci]

Yeah, yeah. Because Felicity and I, we don't like sweet things. We just like. I've never heard of having cheese.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

Yes.

[Jimmy Fallon]

It's genius.

[Stanley Tucci]

Cheese.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

Everyone likes cheese.

[Stanley Tucci]

Pasta, meat. You know, you can throw in a macaroon every now and then.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

Every now and then.

[Stanley Tucci]

Yeah. I don't care.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

How do we set up the sequel? What could people look forward to?

[Stanley Tucci]

I think they can look forward to having a good time understanding where we are in the world today with regards to journalism and such. But really, I. I just hope that, you know, the world right now. Right now, as we know, is in a difficult place. So I think it will be a wonderful release. A bit of escapism.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

Yeah, exactly. Go have a party.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Watch us. Stanley Tucci, everyone. The Devil Wears Prada 2 is in theaters May 1st. Brenda Song joins us after the race.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

Turn Around.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Our next guest is a talented actress

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

starring in the hit comedy series running point. Season 2 is out now on Netflix. Please welcome Brenda Song.

[Brenda Song]

Sorry for my weird penguin hug.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

No, I love my hug. Oh, my God, you look gorgeous. Welcome to the Tonight Show. Thank you so much for coming on. People are so buzzing that you're here today because they love Running Point. But also, you're like a Disney legend.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Let's be honest. Come on now. You are a legend. Here you are at the Suite Life with Z.

[Brenda Song]

Oh, youth collagen.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

Oh, please. No. You look the same. Do people give you quotes when they see you on the street and yell stuff at you?

[Brenda Song]

It's so funny. Cause when we were on this show, there was a lot of yay me. Which was sort of my catchphrase, yay me. But now I'm getting the prindle a lot.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

What was the prindle in?

[Brenda Song]

So my character, London Tipton, was learning how to drive, and Mr. Mosby, who's basically her pseudo father, was teaching her to drive. And he asked her to move out of park or whatever. And she's like, oh, you mean the prindle. What is the prindle? And she looked down, and she's like, the gear shift. She's like, park, reverse, drive, neutral, low. So she called it the Prindle.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

Prindle. Oh, my God.

[Brenda Song]

Yeah. And I've had so many people as

[Jimmy Fallon]

of late, like, yo, print the prindle yeah.

[Brenda Song]

No, truly, they're like. And it's like really kind of, like really, really sweet, overwhelming. That has sort of stuck to people all these years. Because it's been 20 something years since the show. I know.

[Stanley Tucci]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

But maybe they should have a name for that section of the car.

[Brenda Song]

It should be called the Prindle.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

The Prindle.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

We should actually.

[Brenda Song]

I'm just saying.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Where's the Prindle?

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

Oh, the Prindle's right there.

[Brenda Song]

Yeah, exactly.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

Yeah, exactly. In reading up on you, I learned a couple things that you were a super fan about. Can we talk about your super fandom of the Backstreet Boys?

[Brenda Song]

Oh, don't even get me started.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

Let's talk.

[Brenda Song]

This is so. I mean, I love them so much. My first screen name was BS Brenda Song. BSB Rocks with an X. Like, they are my favorite band. And I saw them recently at the Sphere, and it was life changing.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

You did? Yeah. I heard. It's a great show. Here's you. This is with Macaulay. We love him.

[Brenda Song]

Truly. Maybe one of the most incredible moments of my life, aside from the births of my children. I was literally shaking in this photo. I was like. Mac was like, you're shaking. I was like, I know I'm shaking. I was so overwhelmed. I was. I cried, you know, I cried, you

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

know, all the jam.

[Brenda Song]

Oh, every lyric. And I don't. Like, we went into this. Mac knew I was a Backstroke Boys fan, but I don't think he realized how hard of my fandom. Like, how hard it hits. Cause he's like, oh, you know, every lyric. I was like, every lyric, every beat drop. Don't even get me started.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

I mean, come on.

[Jimmy Fallon]

You're a real deal.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

They are great.

[Brenda Song]

They're the best. That's truly me in my. Out in the wild.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

Yes, that's you out in the wild. Good to have fans like you. You're also a devoted Lakers fan.

[Brenda Song]

Yes, huge, huge Lakers. Huge Rams fan.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

And when. When did that begin?

[Brenda Song]

Lakers fan. Basically, in 96, when Kobe got drafted. I grew up a Chicago Bulls fan. My dad loved Michael Jordan, so I grew up watching the Bulls.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

Oh, yeah.

[Brenda Song]

But in 96, when Kobe got drafted, I just. I don't know what it was about him. I just loved him. 20 years till 2016, when he retired, I basically watched 82 games, whether it was on the TV or on the radio with Stu Lance and Chick Hearns. I mean, they had to put a monitor underneath the bleacher set at the Suite Life so I could watch the games. Cause I was so obsessed, really. And then when Kobe retired, I was so devastated, I literally had to take a break from basketball. And then I did.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

The sport is no longer not the same.

[Brenda Song]

And that's how I found the Rams is. I was. I had been sports deprived. And Mac and I started dating. And one Sunday morning, I walked into the living room, and I was like, what are you doing? And he was watching a Rams and Seahawks game.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

Had a tough time saying that.

[Brenda Song]

There you go. And I was like, what's football? And then he sort of walked me through this, sort of, like, you know, all these downs. And I was like, it's a game of inches. This is. How did I not know this? Had I been, like, die hard, Like, I mean, my goal is to be, like, Chris Shula's assistant, our defensive coordinator's assistant.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

Really.

[Brenda Song]

It's my, like, it's my goals. I would leave acting in a second.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

Are your little boys watching sports?

[Brenda Song]

I mean, we love sports so much, we literally have a rolling television that comes out just for basketball and for football. Because they're kids, so, you know, we make them share the tv. If they want to watch something, they have to take turns. But that means mom and Papa doesn't get the TV ever.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

Yeah.

[Brenda Song]

So we roll out this tv, and I've taught my kids how to do the Rams callback. Like, I'll go, whose house? And my kids will go, rams house. So much so that last summer, Mac reproposed to me with the kids. It was very sweet. And I came home, and he had all these flowers and the boys by the front door. And I was, like, kind of confused. And he looked at my boys and he said, okay, guys, what do we practice? What do you say to mama? And my youngest son went, rams house.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

No, what did we practice, Kevin?

[Brenda Song]

I was like. I was like, good kids. He knows. No, I'm training them well. And I was like, yes, you trained them well.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

Let's talk about running point, season two. Congrats, by the way. Thank you.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Thank you. Right now on Netflix.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

It's very funny. You, our buddy Kate Hudson, who's just so funny and charming and gorgeous. Justin Theroux. Fantastic. What can we say about season two?

[Brenda Song]

I mean, season two literally, like, it takes off right where season one left off.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

But you don't have to be a basketball fan, dude.

[Jimmy Fallon]

No.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

To understand this.

[Brenda Song]

Not at all. And that's the thing. I actually feel like, I hope this show makes you want to watch basketball after watching the show, but it's really fun. Cause that's what I love about a season two is you can dive right into the hijinks because the foundation has been sort of laid and you can just dive into these characters and that's what we do this second season.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

That's funny.

[Brenda Song]

Yeah. Justin Theroux is back. Like with he's back and he throws a wrench in all of Isla Kate Hudson's plans and it's a lot of fun. I'm really, really lucky to be on the show.

[Jimmy Fallon (Host/Narrator)]

No, they're lucky to have you.

And that stadium is just 2km away from that part. The Nagorn incident. So yeah, so that's a big thing for us now. 55,000 people in the one stadium there. It's just 2km. You didn't allow us to come and now we are here, man. So that's why.
