Transcript

[Jimmy Fallon]

From Studio 6B in Rockefeller center in the heart of New York City, it's a Tonight show starring Jimmy Fallon. And I join Jimmy and his guest Jonah's brother, Craig Duckman. And featuring the legendary Ruth Cruz.

[Tariq Trotter]

2171.

[Jimmy Fallon]

And now, here he is, Jimmy Fallon.

[Tariq Trotter]

That's a crowd.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Thank you very much.

[Tariq Trotter]

Enjoy yourself.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Thank you.

[Tariq Trotter]

Welcome, everybody. Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome to the Tonight Show.

[Jimmy Fallon]

That's right, you're here. You made it.

[Tariq Trotter]

Thank you for watching at home. Well, guys, today more of President Trump's tariffs went into effect from more than 90 countries, including Canada, Brazil and India. The only places Trump didn't charge are North Korea and Epstein Island. Meanwhile, 50% of tariffs on Brazil will dramatically raise the price of bananas, mangoes and pineapples. Edible Arrangements was like, as long as you don't raise the price of cantaloupe and long toothpicks, we're good. Even toilet paper will get more expensive. You know it's bad when people come out of the bathroom, like, hey, where's that long CVS receipt? The store Claire's just declared bankruptcy and said the tariffs were a major reason why it's not good. But other mall stores have been reaching out to show their support. For example, Bath and Body Works said, let us know if you need anything, as long as anything is 400 lotions that smell like cucumber melon. And then Footlocker said, let us know if you need anything. We'll check in the back, then return empty handed. After that, Lids said, let us know if you need anything, especially if it's a Yankees hat or weed. Next up, Spencer's Gift said, let us know if you need anything, but only if it's Glow in the Dark truck nuts. Then Brookstone said, let us know if you need anything like a massager to relieve stress in your back. Then Barnes and Noble said, let us know if you need anything like some books to pretend to browse on your way to destroy a bathroom. Destroy, destroy the bath. And finally, J.C. penney said, don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened. Some more political news. Tomorrow is the deadline Trump set for Russia to end the war in Ukraine. Yeah, it's high on Trump's to do list, right under build a new ballroom and meet Sydney Sweeney. Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin said that he wants to meet with Trump next week. Then all other world leaders looked at Trump like, ooh, you're in trouble. Guys, everyone's excited about this. Tomorrow is the movie Freakier Friday. It hits theaters. It's a lot of fun and I guess they're already working on a sequel. It looks a little different than the first two, but watch this.

[Jonas Brothers]

From the studio that brought you Freaky Friday. And Freakier Friday comes.

[Tariq Trotter]

Freakiest Friday.

[Jonas Brothers]

He was President of the United States. He was the President of Russia until they woke up switched. Putin is now Trump.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I'm Putin. Russia, Russia, Russia. If I took this shirt off, you'd see a beautiful, beautiful person.

[Jonas Brothers]

And Trump is now Putin. What? No misdonalds. But I'm not loving it. Freakiest Friday, starring Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump and Pedro Pascal.

[Tariq Trotter]

He's in it. I love him. Yeah. I can't wait for Freakier Friday. It is the long awaited sequel to Freaky Friday with Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis. They swap bodies. Speaking of, Tariq, you still down to see it with me this weekend? You know it, Jimmy. Yeah. High five, buddy. Well, no way. I think we switched bodies. And now I'm Tariq. This is crazy.

[Jimmy Fallon]

And now I'm Jimmy Fallon, host of the Tonight Show. Wee.

[Tariq Trotter]

I don't think that's how Jimmy usually sounds.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yes, it is. It's like I, Jimmy Fallon, always say. Yep, yep. Areno.

[Tariq Trotter]

I don't think Jimmy has ever said that.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Oh, and after the movie, I was thinking we could do my favorite activity, tickling each other. It's tickle time. Yahoo.

[Tariq Trotter]

Stop talking, Jimmy.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Okay, okay. I can sing instead. Yep, yep. Arena. Hey, this, this has to stop.

[Tariq Trotter]

Just, just, just high five me right now.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Man, that was crazy, wasn't it, Jimmy?

[Tariq Trotter]

Yip yip, erino.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Let's move on.

[Tariq Trotter]

Some more movie news. AMC theaters say that they may shorten the ads as they play before each movie. Yeah, they're gonna shorten the ads. They actually started testing shorter ads in some theaters, but I'm not sure about their approach. Check it out.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Is your cell phone bill too high?

[Jonas Brothers]

Then switch to Frank's Red Hot.

[Tariq Trotter]

Put that on everything.

[Jonas Brothers]

Even your grandma may get diagnosed with skittles.

[Greg Gutfeld]

Taste the gecko. Gecko.

[Jonas Brothers]

He loves vaping.

[Tariq Trotter]

It may seem harmless, but just do it.

[Jonas Brothers]

Because Endless Shrimp is back and we.

[Tariq Trotter]

Get it all fresh straight from Petco. That's what I'm saying. It's not quite. Wow. Hey, did you guys see this? Disney is paying $1.6 billion for five years of WWE's live premium events. Ooh, Disney. Yeah. Disney said their family friendly brand won't affect the content of these WWE events. But I'm not quite so sure. Look at this promo.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Cody Rhodes may be the WWE champion, but that ends this Sunday when I beat his Tushy. He's gonna wish upon a star he was never born. He's gonna be in a whole new world of pain. And by pain, I mean I'm gonna introduce him to my two good friends, lady and the Tramp. We're gonna nibble that noodle and kiss in the middle. Because at the end of the day, violence is wrong. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if we talk it out and end up becoming the best of friends. Hakuna matata.

[Tariq Trotter]

Actually, it's pretty good. I'd see that. Well, listen to this. I saw that Air India has apologized after a few small cockroaches were found on one of their flights. Spirit Analyzer was like one of your flights. What's your secret?

[Jimmy Fallon]

We have a great show tonight. Jonas Brothers are here this evening. Greg Gutfeld is joining us. Stick around. We'll be right back with Jonas Brothers. Everybody calling Captain Rod. Started at the bottom, now I'm only at the top.

[Tariq Trotter]

Welcome back to the Tonight Show.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Jonas Brothers new album.

[Kevin Jonas]

So good to be back.

[Tariq Trotter]

New album tomorrow. You know, I was thinking about this because we all have a lot in common. Not only are we all very good looking, talented people, but we're also all girl dads.

[Kevin Jonas]

Yes, we are.

[Tariq Trotter]

We are girl dads. We are.

[Kevin Jonas]

That's amazing, right?

[Tariq Trotter]

Best thing in the world. I. I love being a girl dad.

[Kevin Jonas]

Same.

[Tariq Trotter]

Have you found yourself doing anything that you never thought you would do as a girl dad?

[Kevin Jonas]

I'm just buying so many clothes, it's ridiculous. The problem is that I order them. Like you don't already. Well, for her. Yeah.

[Tariq Trotter]

After you.

[Kevin Jonas]

I order them and then I forget that I ordered them and the packages arrive at the house. I'm like, who ordered all these clothes for the baby?

[Tariq Trotter]

It was me. I did. Yeah. How old is she?

[Kevin Jonas]

She's three and a half.

[Tariq Trotter]

Yeah. Yeah, perfect. You want to dress her up and cute things.

[Kevin Jonas]

It's less nothing better.

[Tariq Trotter]

How about you, Kev?

[Kevin Jonas]

We're in a Labubu phase.

[Tariq Trotter]

You are?

[Kevin Jonas]

Yeah, highly. Like, she's like, seeking the super rares and, like, we go to, like, different shops and she hunts for them. And then my other daughter, Valentina's obsessed with Stitch. So we got two very, very Labubu.

[Tariq Trotter]

And Stitches.

[Kevin Jonas]

Both are great.

[Tariq Trotter]

Yeah.

[Kevin Jonas]

Joe, you know, I now know every single princess and unicorn. I never thought I would know, but.

[Tariq Trotter]

It'S good to know those things.

[Kevin Jonas]

It is good.

[Tariq Trotter]

Yeah. Nick, your lovely wife Priyanka was on our show not too long ago, and she said that the baby is calling you guys the Donut Brothers.

[Kevin Jonas]

Yes.

[Tariq Trotter]

That is genius.

[Kevin Jonas]

It is genius.

[Tariq Trotter]

Yeah. She can't say.

[Kevin Jonas]

She can't say her Js, so she says Donut as a replacement. But I don't think she knows what a donut is yet.

[Tariq Trotter]

Which is the cutest part. Yeah. So little. Doesn't even know yet. But the Donut Brothers.

[Kevin Jonas]

So we gotta know what donuts are.

[Tariq Trotter]

Yeah, of course. I love. I definitely do. Yeah.

[Kevin Jonas]

But you gotta make, like, a whole merch line with the donuts.

[Tariq Trotter]

I think you should totally do. And Donut Brothers. Good, dude. Donut Brothers. I can see there's an animation. You'll give me a cut in. Yeah, yeah. You should do an animated show on Netflix or something. We should. Yeah, for kids. The Donut Brothers. It'd be the best.

[Kevin Jonas]

That was an easy sale, right?

[Tariq Trotter]

Done. Yeah. You don't have to cut me in. Yeah, exactly. I love you guys. Obviously, I'm fans of yours, but you really helped me out. Last holiday, we did a song together called Holiday.

[Kevin Jonas]

Yes. Number one.

[Tariq Trotter]

Number one. When's it? I got, like, a platinum record. It's in a frame. Like, this is normal for you. For me, it's like bucket list stuff. Like, what's going on?

[Kevin Jonas]

It's not normal for us either.

[Tariq Trotter]

No, it is. No, it's normal for you. Please. But isn't that. We were texting each other and I was showing like, kids were singing at their, like, recitals and school.

[Kevin Jonas]

It's a great song. Thanks for having us on the track.

[Tariq Trotter]

Oh, my God, Celine. And now. You guys are hard to believe, but you're celebrating 20 years.

[Kevin Jonas]

I know, it's insane.

[Tariq Trotter]

Of the Jonas Brothers 20th anniversary.

[Kevin Jonas]

It's hard to believe. You know, in a lot of ways, it feels like it flew by. And others, you know, I think we are just so grateful for every moment. To have fans as supportive as our fans have been for as long as they've been. It Just means so much. And we've been putting the show together.

[Tariq Trotter]

You're still young.

[Kevin Jonas]

That's the thing.

[Kevin Jonas]

We're 21.

[Tariq Trotter]

Oh, yeah. You're one year old when he did that album. It's unbelievable.

[Kevin Jonas]

But we're putting the show together now, and it's, you know, it's basically impossible to summarize a 20 year journey with music, you know, and there's so many songs that we want to play, some that we can't. But, you know, what we feel we've come to is something that really represents kind of the journey we've been on and the songs that are relevant to us and those steps in our career and different moments. And we've got some amazing special guests lined up, and I just can't wait.

[Tariq Trotter]

Yeah. Let's talk about the album. It comes out tomorrow. Congrats on this. This is the real vinyl right here. All right, get that. Get that blue vinyl right there. Look at that. Ooh, look at this. That's.

[Kevin Jonas]

There's photos.

[Tariq Trotter]

Yeah, of course there's photos. What's the inspiration behind the. Behind the album and the name of the album and the photo?

[Kevin Jonas]

Well, it's called greetings from your hometown. And we went and shot this at the Belmont in New Jersey, which is an iconic restaurant.

[Tariq Trotter]

Shout out Jersey.

[Kevin Jonas]

We changed a bunch of photos in the background because mostly it was like mob bosses. So we made it more, like, smart, more organic, you know, more organic to us. So you see our parents photo, a wedding photo there, and. But really it's a combination of the music that inspired us growing up. Some punk, pop, rock stuff. Charlotte being one. Who's here on the show today?

[Tariq Trotter]

A lot of talented brothers on the show tonight.

[Jonas Brothers]

Part of the show.

[Kevin Jonas]

You brought the house down.

I'm not kidding. So I went out. They were nice enough. They were like, dude, you want to do something? I did a thing. I was. Sang karaoke with Everybody. I did one song. You guys. I counted. Did 69 or 70 songs. Yeah, you guys did 70. I lost my voice doing half of that song. When everyone's singing karaoke, I lost my voice with one song. How do you do all that?

It is.

[Kevin Jonas]

Thank you.

[Tariq Trotter]

I know you train, but, I mean, you do a lot of stuff. It's a great concert.

[Kevin Jonas]

It's really cool because, you know, with the band as the Jonas Brothers, and then you have all of this solo music from Nick, all the solo music from Joe, the DNC stuff. Like, there's just administration. Like, there's so much music. I think what Nick was saying before is, like, the set list is hard to build. Right. But at the same time, it's so fun because we do get to take breaks and admire each other's work at the same time. And pee breaks, mostly.

[Jonas Brothers]

Yeah.

[Tariq Trotter]

Yeah. There's costume changes. There's a whole lot of stuff. I know. On your writer, by the way. I went backstage and I saw that on your writer's Ants on a log. Yeah. You guys know what that is? Ants on a log is. We're bringing it back. Two people notice celery, peanut butter, and raisins.

Dude, there was the bar. There was no bar. It was a cooler, like the kind you take to a beach. So we go in there, and there's a cooler.

[Tariq Trotter]

Dude, you're not making this up. I totally know what you're talking about. Yes.

[Jonas Brothers]

Yes. You remember this?

[Tariq Trotter]

I think I remember bringing beer into the bar and then him charging me for my own beer.

[Jonas Brothers]

That's Tracy. That is Tracy. He is very cheap. But if you want somebody dead, he'll do it. So I walk into this bar, and I'm with my friend Andy. We just got off shooting something, and I walk in and I'm looking around. I go, what the hell have I got into? And then I see you. And you look at me, and you have your eyes just to kind of explode. And you run towards me and you tackle me. Like you're like a giant golden retriever. You're, like, on top of me. And so we're wrestling. We're wrestling. And then you change and you start wrestling my buddy Andy. And you're wrestling him. And you guys get on the ground. You guys are now on the ground wrestling. And I like. So I pull out. Yes. So I pull out a cigarette. I light a cigarette, and I'm smoking it. And you stop, and you come over to me and you grab it and you crinkle it and you go, these things will kill you. And you threw it. And then I. And I go, I go, dude, I go, I'm not rich. You're rich. I have to put that. Cigarettes are expensive in New York City. I yell. And you just. And all of a sudden your face changed and you looked sad. And then you left.

[Tariq Trotter]

Yeah.

[Jonas Brothers]

And then five minutes later you come back with a fresh pack of parliaments and you hand them to me and you go, here. And I go, that was really sweet. You want me to die. But then, so get this. So we're smoking and we're drinking. It's really weird. And then you go, hey, let's go to another bar. And so I go, okay. So we pile into the back of your. Of your car. It's a back seat. You got a driver. It's me, Andy. You. Somebody else? I don't know. Who cares? Probably dead. We drive. But get this. The amazing thing about this is we drove, took a quick left, got out to another bar. It's the same building we drove. We drove from. We drove from one door to another door.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Yeah. But he had a nice ride, right? Yes.

[Jonas Brothers]

So I think he wanted to impress that you had a driver. So we get out and we go into this bar. And it's the strangest bar because it's a straight bar up until like six. Then it goes gay. And the reason. And you can tell it goes gay because the bartender at six o' clock takes off his shirt. Nothing else changes.

[Tariq Trotter]

Yeah.

[Jonas Brothers]

And so. And then we're in there for a while. That's where the story ends. Let's just say.

[Tariq Trotter]

I'm sorry I tackled you.

[Jimmy Fallon]

I know.

[Jonas Brothers]

It was great, though. It was all very good natured and it was a great memory. And I'm so glad I finally got to tell you about it.

[Tariq Trotter]

I'm so happy.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Thank you and welcome back. Welcome to the show. Thank you. Mike tellsher.

[Tariq Trotter]

I'm happy that's a true story.

[Jonas Brothers]

It is. No, because you didn't remember it and then you remembered it.

[Tariq Trotter]

I do. I remember all the details you said are correct, so. I do. It definitely happened. Absolutely.

[Jonas Brothers]

It was amazing.

[Tariq Trotter]

Where did you. I want to know your background and where you came from, how you ended up hosting your show. This talk show.

[Jonas Brothers]

It's a good question. I've been fired a lot.

[Tariq Trotter]

Okay.

[Jonas Brothers]

Yeah. And I'm telling you, at home, you think firing is bad. It's the best thing in the world. People think, oh my God, I'm fired. What am I gonna do? You Always end up someplace better. So I got fired from Men's Health, where I was the king of abs for the 90s, if you remember. Five minutes, the flat abs. I wrote that.

[Tariq Trotter]

Wow. That was you?

[Jonas Brothers]

Yes. And then Six Steps to a Firm Belly was my sequel.

[Tariq Trotter]

Wow.

[Jonas Brothers]

Which was. Actually, I just rewrote the first one, which is what they do.

[Tariq Trotter]

You're just cornering the market on how to get abs.

[Jonas Brothers]

I was raising a family of abs. But anyway, so got fired from there. Stuff magazine was there for a couple of years.

[Tariq Trotter]

Love Stuff magazine.

[Jonas Brothers]

Yeah, it was amazing. Got fired from there, then went to Men's Health. I mean, sorry. Went to Maxim. I like this. Had to leave the country for. Let's not get into that.

[Tariq Trotter]

My God.

[Jonas Brothers]

In the UK and got fired from that. And so I was just sitting at a bar in Chelsea and a friend says, you know, there's a Fox wants to do a late night show. Are you interested? And I'm like, dude, I'm broke, so I will do anything. So they flew me over and I started doing this show. Red Eye.

[Tariq Trotter]

Yeah, Red Eye.

[Jonas Brothers]

Yeah. And so I got there and they said. I go, yeah, so it's gonna. We're gonna start rehearsing. And he goes, no, we're starting in three days. And we. And we rehearsed in the green room. Everybody was drunk. Everybody was drunk, even the cameramen. And so.

[Tariq Trotter]

Oh, my God.

[Jonas Brothers]

It airs at 2am There you go. But they felt that it was too edgy for 2am what? So they moved it to 3. Who's.

[Tariq Trotter]

Watching TV at 2am?

[Jonas Brothers]

Well, we did a focus group for 3am it's speed dealers and breastfeeders.

[Tariq Trotter]

Okay. All right. People need something to watch.

[Jonas Brothers]

And, you know, if you need your speed and you need your baby fed. You watched my show.

[Tariq Trotter]

Exactly. Good for you.

[Jonas Brothers]

And inmates. We get a lot of letters from inmates.

[Tariq Trotter]

That's right.

[Jonas Brothers]

They always want me to set them up with the guests. Like, is Janice Dean, the weather machine free? I'll be out in February 2047.

[Tariq Trotter]

Your mom was actually a big part of the show.

[Jonas Brothers]

That is right.

[Tariq Trotter]

You actually named her a senior correspondent.

[Jonas Brothers]

Yeah, I called her senior correspondent because she's 80.

[Tariq Trotter]

Yeah.

[Jonas Brothers]

And you know what her job was? Her job was to watch Fox News. She would watch Fox News and tell me what was going on during the day. And it was like she was always upset because all the women wore short skirts. That was her thing. She says, I don't need to see their. You know what? And I'm going, mom, other people do.

[Tariq Trotter]

But did she make for good tv? Right.

[Jonas Brothers]

She's great. In fact, here's the weird thing. You know, when you're growing up, you don't want your friends to meet your parents. You're always embarrassed about it. I brought my friends over, and they loved her. And then there were times when I would come home and my friends would already be there.

[Tariq Trotter]

Yes.

[Jonas Brothers]

They'd be in the backyard with my mom.

[Tariq Trotter]

I had that, too. My friends loved my parents.

[Jonas Brothers]

Yes. So they dumped me for my mom. So I realized at that point that she was good. She was no bs and she was a supporter of everything I did, which is like your mom, and it's a big deal, you know? And she saw Red Eye take off. She saw me on the Five. She didn't see me for the rest of the stuff, but that's probably well and good.

[Tariq Trotter]

Aw. She's probably proud. Very, very proud of you. Congratulations on everything you've done. That's amazing. It's good to have a supportive mom. But addition to Gutfeld and the Five, you started hosting a new game show.

[Jonas Brothers]

Yeah. It's called what did I Miss?

[Tariq Trotter]

No, I'm excited about this.

[Jonas Brothers]

Oh, this is the greatest idea for a game show, because you ever wonder about the people that get sequestered for, like, the Bachelor or Love Island? They miss all this news and they come out, they have no idea that, like, who was elected president or that their husband left them for a maid. All these things. None of these things they know. And I thought, that's the show. So we put people in a house upstate. It's like a house where a family goes missing. Very strange. They're up in the house. They're up in the house. They have no idea what's going on.

[Tariq Trotter]

They have no phones. Nothing.

[Jonas Brothers]

Nothing. And then when. When they come out, we quiz them on the news. Fake or false? Fake or false. And with Trump, you can't tell. Just like, for example, imagine somebody says to you, true or false? The President demands an annexation of Canada.

[Tariq Trotter]

Yeah.

[Jonas Brothers]

No, but it's Trump.

[Tariq Trotter]

Yes. It definitely happened.

[Jimmy Fallon]

Wow.

[Jonas Brothers]

Yeah, it was. And so it was an amazing show. The best part about this show is we didn't pay him anything. So get this. $25,000 for 100 days. If you work it out after taxes, they owe us money.

[Tariq Trotter]

Yeah. That's terrible. Yeah.

[Jonas Brothers]

It's funny, because 25 grand was the prize money. In 1980, there was a show called the $25,000 Pyramid. Yeah, that's in 1980, you could get 25 grand for one puzzle.

[Tariq Trotter]

Yeah, we.

[Jonas Brothers]

We Made him sit in the house for 100 days. No, for 25.

[Tariq Trotter]

Right.

[Jonas Brothers]

But we did up it to 50. But I'm thinking about bringing it back down to 25.

[Tariq Trotter]

No, that is absolutely wrong. No, no. You got to up it more than 50. 50. No, you got it.

[Jonas Brothers]

What do you think?

[Tariq Trotter]

You got to do 100 at least.

[Jonas Brothers]

Yeah.

[Tariq Trotter]

100 days.

[Jonas Brothers]

Yeah, 100 days.

[Tariq Trotter]

100,000.

[Jonas Brothers]

They do get scale. I don't know what that is.

[Tariq Trotter]

I don't. I just think it's a great idea for a show.

[Jonas Brothers]

It is. It is. It's going to be a challenge because you don't have. Well, Trump is going to make it. Whatever. You never know what he's gonna do.

[Tariq Trotter]

Yeah.

[Jonas Brothers]

You never know.

[Tariq Trotter]

You don't even have to sequester people. Did this happen? You go. I have no. It's very possible that it is. Well, congrats. The series was picked up for another season. That's a big deal.

[Jonas Brothers]

Thank you, man.
