Transcript

[Jimmy Fallon]

From Studio 6P in Rockinhunter center in the heart of New York City, it's the Tonight show starring Jimmy Fallon. Tonight join Jimmy and his guest, Anna Kendrick, Chef Jose Andreas. And featuring the legendary Roots Crew212.5. And now, here he is, Jimmy Bellad. Sara, I love you. Enjoy yourself, everybody. Enjoy yourself. Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Tonight Show. That's right, you're here. Thank you very much. Well, guys, tomorrow marks President Trump's 100th day in office. Yeah, the calendar says 100 days in office, but the feels like has to be in the tens of thousands. Yeah, it's been a rough 100 days for Trump. He failed to end the war between Russia and Ukraine and he led a new war start between Wendy's and Katy Perry. Get this. New polling shows that Trump has the lowest 100 day approval rating of any president in modern history. Trump was like, all I heard was approval rating and 100. Yep. Trump's approval rating is down to 39%. That's right. Even measles is polling at 40%. You know what I'm saying? It's bad, it's bad. Well, right now, Trump has the lowest approval rating of any president in the last eight decades. That's not good. Here now to discuss this is the spokesperson for President Trump, Stephen Fritz. Welcome to the show, Stephen. Thanks for having me. So how are you feeling about Trump's approval rating inside the White House? Oh, we've never felt better, Jimmy. Really? That surprises me. I mean, based on the Ipsis poll, he's just at 39%. That's just one poll. According to the DWLT poll, he's at 100% approval. I'm sorry, the DWLT poll? Dictators who love Trump. He's never done better with the dictator demo. Yeah, that feels a bit biased. I mean, amongst independents, he's just at 31%. Independents are a small sliver of the voters. Amongst a much larger key group, he's at nearly 99%. What group is that? Uncles who post long rants about the woke virus on their LinkedIn page that only get two likes. That's not a key group. Wow. Wow, Jimmy, what do those uncles ever do to you? This isn't about the uncles. It just feels like you're focusing on specific polls that only benefit your argument. Not at all. I'm focused on national polls that asked hardworking Americans who also happen to call President Trump dad and they all approve of his performance. So you just asked Trump's kids. Fine, fine, fine, fine. You know what? Let's just start this over. You mean the interview? No, Trump's first 100 days. Okay, we'd really love a do over, you know? Cause come on, we messed up, all right? That's not how this works. No, please, Pity. Please, please, just with a cherry on top. I'm offering a cherry. Jimmy, please. All right, I have nothing to do with Trump. Smokes with everyone. Come on. We're doing bad and everyone knows it. It feels bad. Well, hey, listen to this. Trump just announced that he's bringing back Columbus Day even though it's still a federal holiday. Honestly, what better way to celebrate Columbus than announcing something that already ex. Meanwhile, I saw that Trump said he wants to build a pair of 100 foot tall flag poles on the north and south lawns of the White House. He even put out a video about it. Watch this. Hello America. Isn't it incredible? I have the highest polls of any president ever. Everyone is saying no president has better polls. When people ask how high are Trump's polls? I say 100. And I'm technically telling the truth. And look, my polls clearly say everyone loves me and the job I'm doing. Thank you and God bless me. Some more political news on Saturday. Trump attended Pope Francis funeral at the Vatican. And while every other world leader wore a black suit, Trump was criticized for wearing a blue one. Take a look at this. Yeah, Trump. Trump wore his blue suit. And Melania wore her wedding Dr. Trump thought it was a funeral for his Holiness Papa Smurf. Meanwhile, Trump wore a black suit for a week after Hooters went out of business. Well, now that the Pope Francis has been laid to rest, cardinals will still begin the process of choosing the next Pope. Frontrunners include Hungarian Archbishop Peter Erdo, Swedish Bishop Anders Arborelius, and Italian Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzabala. And of course. Wait, what? What's wrong, Trick? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. He's Italian and his last name is Pizzaballa. Yeah, I guess I don't understand what's funny about that. No, no, no, Jimmy. There could be an Italian Pope named Pizzaballa. That's the funniest thing I've ever heard. But that's like. That's like if the president of Nintendo was named like Doug Bowser. Turkey didn't want to see this clip. We are now joined by Doug Bowser, president of Nintendo of America. What? You gotta be kidding me. Well, that's like if there was a chef named like, Tom Kitchen.

[Chef Jose Andres]

Hi, guys, it's Tom Kitchen here in my restaurant.

[Jimmy Fallon]

The kitchen in Edinburgh.

[Chef Jose Andres]

What? What?

[Jimmy Fallon]

That's like if there was a weatherman named like Larry Sprinkle. Every day you rely on Larry Sprinkle for your forecast as you head out the door. What? What? What? I know, I know. But there's a limit. It's not like there's a guy named Paul Paulos in the St. Paul Police Department. Chief of Police Paul Paulos of St. Paul. Alright, moving on. Thank you, Tariq Trotter, everybody. And finally. Well, finally a lot of people are talking about this. After being rumored to get drafted in the top 10, Shedeour Sanders fell all the way to 144th pick before finally being selected by the Cleveland Browns. Shedeur is incredibly talented. I think he's going to be great in the league and I'm not alone in that. First, take a look at this post from KFC. This is real. It says the Colonel was rejected 1009 times before finally landing our famous original recipe. Sometimes all a Sanders needs is a little time to cook. Congrats, Shadour from kfc. Oh, come on. Pretty nice. And they weren't the only ones getting shedeur's back. Take a look at this post from Spirit airlines. It says, looks like we aren't the only ones who take way too long to get you to Cleveland. Welcome aboard. Chadoor. Looks like Wendy's got involved on this one too. Yeah, they said. Congrats Chadoor, your game is frosty. Your nugs are saucy. Katy Perry should retire from music. Wow. We have a great show. Give it up for the roots, everybody. Cricket pocket, my favorite song. What a show we have for you tonight. She's a multi talented actor who stars in the new movie another simple favor. It's on prime video this Thursday. Anna Kendrick is here this evening. Talented.

Chef Jose Andres is joining us tonight. Beautiful me. We'll be right back with more tonight's show. Great job. I keep his inso flight sneaker insoles. Then this info goes out the window. Yeah. Our first guest is an Oscar and Tony nominated actor who stars in the new movie another simple favor. It's on prime video this Thursday. Everyone please welcome Anna Kendrick. Oh my gosh. Thank you. They love you. Come on, who doesn't love Anna Kendrick? Come on, bud. There's so many things I want to discuss with you. I want to talk about the Movie. But first, I'm very jealous of you. You got to do something that millions of people would want to do, but me in particular. You got to go to the Traitor's Castle. Yes.

[Anna Kendrick]

Yes. Are y'all watching the Traitors?

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yes.

[Anna Kendrick]

It is the best show. It's the best show on television. Okay, so I got to go to the Traitor's Castle, and, like, the only reason is. Cause I'm a super fan of the show. So where is it and where are we? I knew some people at Peacock, so that's. Yeah, that's me. That's me looking smug and so.

[Jimmy Fallon]

But you're in the roundtable room.

[Anna Kendrick]

It's unbelievable. There was this trip that was organized with all these, like, cool, hip, young influencers. And they're so, like, young and hip and cool. And they have names like Teffy and Remy and Bowman. And I'm like, hello, my name is Anna, and I am certainly 10 years older than any of you. And I imagine you're wondering what I'm doing here. And they were like, we weren't wondering anything about you, but you're just a.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Fan of the show.

[Anna Kendrick]

I'm just a huge fan of the show. I love it so much. And we got so, you know, we went all around Scotland, and then we got to go to the Traitor's Castle, and, like, we played a round of the Traitors. I know. And I told. So I suspected we were gonna play a round of the Traitors. So I told the people that put it together. I was like, please don't pick me to be a traitor. I'm too sweaty and nervous.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Me, too.

[Anna Kendrick]

And I couldn't. Please just let me be a faithful. But then, as you saw, Alan Cummings shows up as a total surprise. Shock. So excited to see him. And so then they, like, do the whole thing where we put the blindfolds on, and Alan Cummings is gonna.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Goes around the table to tap you on the shoulder.

[Anna Kendrick]

Yes. And every time he. I can hear him, like, going around me with the blindfold on, I start going, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Like, so then when we take the blindfolds off, someone's like, I heard a lot of movement over here. Whenever Alan was. And I was like, no, no, no. I was moving away. Away. I'm a faithful. I was moving away from the tap. I didn't want the tap to be a traitor. And actually, pretty quickly, they were like, yeah, we shouldn't bother accusing you. You would be so bad at this game.

[Jimmy Fallon]

All right, good.

[Anna Kendrick]

So I. Yeah, so I didn't how.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Did you fare in the game?

[Anna Kendrick]

I did figure out who one of the traitors was, so congratulations to me.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah.

[Anna Kendrick]

But actually by the end of the trip, by the end of, of the trip, like, everybody was so nice and friendly and it was like we were going around and saying our favorite part of the trip. We all cried. We were very jet lagged and I was like, you guys have actually turned out. You just so, so sweet, so nice and like, if you're ever in la, I'm crying while I'm saying this. If you're ever in la, I want you to come stay with me. Come see me.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Who are you talking to?

[Anna Kendrick]

The influencers. None of them have taken me up on it. So.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Paige, Rocking. Yeah.

[Anna Kendrick]

It was like Teffy and Bowman and.

[Jimmy Fallon]

So, yeah, Teffy, Anna, back. Come, let's. Yeah. What the hell I would do? I was thinking about what my strategy would be if I plead. Cause I'm a terrible liar too. But what I would do is I would say, I'm clearly not a traitor, but if you are a trader, tell me and I won't. I'll keep it a secret.

[Anna Kendrick]

Do you think that would work?

[Jimmy Fallon]

I don't know.

[Anna Kendrick]

You'd find out.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah. I just go, hey, you. Like, if you were a trader, you go, dude, I'm a trader. I go, I won't tell anybody. I'll fake that I think that you're faithful.

[Anna Kendrick]

Well, I'd just tell you that I was a faithful liar. But yeah, I mean, with me you'd be able to tell. So I guess me too.

[Jimmy Fallon]

We would never be on the same season together. I'd be like, I'm not. I'm not playing.

[Anna Kendrick]

Ruining the game for everyone.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I would quit the game. I go, I quit. I'm a traitor. Just throw me out of the castle. Yeah. It's so fun.

[Anna Kendrick]

Exactly.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Congrats on another simple favor. This is the sequel to the movie A Simple Favor. Fans are excited about this. And you were telling me backstage that there's one fan in particular who's very excited for the sequel.

[Anna Kendrick]

Yeah, there's actually like a super fan that I run into at events and stuff. And I ran into them at this, like, very fancy gala. It actually was called, like, a gala. And they were like, hey, I'm such a huge fan of the movie. And then this was years ago. I was like, well, I don't want to make any promises, but, like, I think we're trying to do like a second movie. And they were like, what? How? Emily's in prison and I was like, I know. Yeah, it's like a big deal. And like, over the years I like, run into them and I'm like, yeah. So there were some script changes, like, don't tell anybody. All the while just like, hoping they don't leak anything to the press or whatever, which I guess they never did.

[Jimmy Fallon]

They trusted this person.

[Anna Kendrick]

But that person works at the Tonight show and much to our collective surprise, that person is Questlove.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Questlove. You knew about this? I've known about it, yeah. You knew about this and you didn't tell me for some reason. I've seen this film like 15 times. It is one of those movies that's always on. Whenever it's on, I watch like on an airplane in my hotel. Like wherever I am, it's there. So I just.

[Anna Kendrick]

I love that.

[Jimmy Fallon]

So. Yeah.

[Anna Kendrick]

And then may I say, the premiere of Another Simple Favor was last night. And who is there but Queslov?

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yep. I. And, and what's the review? Oh, thumbs up. Yeah, yeah. There's just. It's gotta be just tricks upon tricks. You're not ready for this one. I'm not. Right? You're not ready. It ups the game. You're not ready for this. Paul Feig.

[Anna Kendrick]

Yeah. It's really twisted.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah, it is, right? Paul Feig is one of the nicest.

[Anna Kendrick]

Oh my gosh, he is like truly the nicest. He has like this total reputation for being the nicest man in Hollywood. And is that thing. And then, you know, you read the script and you're like, paul, what's going on with you?

[Jimmy Fallon]

What's going on upstairs?

[Anna Kendrick]

I'm like, excited for people to get a glimpse into the twisted mind of Paul Feig.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah.

[Anna Kendrick]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Can you set up for everyone what is happening in Another Simple Favor?

[Anna Kendrick]

Yes. So another Simple Favor. Emily gets out of prison and she invites, blackmails me into being her maid of honor at her like, Italian wedding and murder and mayhem and chaos ensues. And I think we have a clip where I'm giving a very, very awkward impromptu toast. A wedding toast.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yes.

[Chef Jose Andres]

A Spanish astronaut, Lopez Alegria, told me. Jose Lopez Alegria from Spain, an American Spanish astronaut, he said, jose, do you want to send Sunfoot with Axiom to the space station to feed all the astronauts? And I told him, yeah, many ships before me, they've done food for space.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Sure.

[Chef Jose Andres]

But I got my chance, and I did. Paella. Spanish paella. And I can say that I was able to feed all the astronauts a Spanish menu of paella Valenciana almonds from Spain, Iberico ham, the best ham in the world.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yes.

[Chef Jose Andres]

I mean, that's why the astronauts didn't want to come back to Earth.

How many stories you have? How many stories you and I have?

[Jimmy Fallon]

We've gotten some. We've gotten some good trouble. We've gotten some good trouble together. Yeah, we've. We've jumped on a few and crashed a few bands and sang with some bands.

[Chef Jose Andres]

Well, you took over the band, but yeah, why not?

[Jimmy Fallon]

Come on. It was fun.

[Chef Jose Andres]

I do believe that every person, all of you here at home, here in the audience, you. Everybody has to be writing down stories, even the non important ones. My father, my mother, they are not with me any longer. You know how many questions I have of moments I spend with them.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Me too.

[Chef Jose Andres]

So use a book and write those stories. Make sure you leave them for your loved ones, especially the fun ones. Because when things don't go very well, you want to read those funny stories. You want to change the recipe. That's what this book is all about.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah, you can do it. You can do it. You can always change the recipe.

[Chef Jose Andres]

And I have three recipes, four recipes in this book. One of them is your favorite ingredient.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Don't even say it.

[Chef Jose Andres]

Mayonnaise. Jimmy Fallon loves mayonnaise.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I hate that. I actually can say I hate mayonnaise.

[Chef Jose Andres]

He's opening I spa called Mayones Spa by Jimmy Fallon.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Not ever remotely doing that. It is so gross. What page is that man is.

[Chef Jose Andres]

Take a look at his hair. Looks like he wash it with mayonnaise. It's obvious you can do massage. You can do so many things with massage.

[Jimmy Fallon]

A show of 12 accomplished chefs with slight personality disorders.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah. And like all of us. Yeah. Like, yeah, I know one of. One of the chefs has anger issues, which makes for very interesting television.

Can't get along with anybody. They don't cooperate. They will not work with each other.

[Chef Jose Andres]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Fallon]

How are you guys working together?

[Chef Jose Andres]
