[ cheers and applause ] thank you very much. here's what people are talking about. some big news out of washington, you guys. president trump is expected to announce that he's running for reelection in 2020. [ audience boos ] he's even got a great slogan -- "pretend the last four years never happened." [ cheers and applause ] that's right, trump is running for reelection. he said that he'll be sticking with mike pence as a a cellmate -- i mean, running mate. [ laughter and applause ] trump actually says that he will "soon" announce that he's running for reelection. maybe it's just me, but if you announce that you're going to announce something, isn't that the announcement? [ laughter ] i mean, you can't announce -- you can't announce the announcement! [ applause ] of course trump is still talking about his border wall. he's going to go to california next month to get construction updates. here's the plan. they're going to lead him around to the other side of the border, then quickly build the wall. [ applause ] interesting. this is an interesting story in april, the white house will host france's president macron for his first state dinner, or as trump has been telling

people, "we're having macaroons for dinner." [ laughter and applause ] macron -- macaroni. trump is thinking about recommending his personal pilot, john duncan, to lead the faa. some people are saying duncan isn't qualified and that this has been a problem with a lot of trump's nominees. i think they might have a a point. i'll show you what i mean. for example, to lead the department of transportation, trump recommended steve, his uber driver from last week. [ laughter ] then for the department of homeland security, trump recommended claire danes. [ laughter ] next, for the state department, trump recommended flo rida because his name is also a a state. [ cheers and applause ] and finally, for the food and drug administration, trump recommended chef boyardee and seth rogen.

[ laughter ] hey, with more and more people driving electric cars, the department of transportation says that by 2020, all quiet cars will have to make artificial engine-like sounds. it's supposed to keep pedestrians safe, but i'm not so sure about the fake engine sounds car companies are using. check out this ad for tesla i saw today. >> introducing the all new tesla model s electric car. with state-of-the-art engine sounds, it's just like listening to a gas engine.

[ laughter ] no, no, no, no, no, retta, no, no. please -- maybe the story might change. what's happening? >> the likelihood of -- [ laughter ] goes up! so i get this e-mail -- and at the time we weren't that close. and i get this e-mail and he says -- he sends me the articles, the links to all these articles that tell you what works and what's helpful. and he's like, so do you think you could do stand-up at our insemination? >> jimmy: that's what i was hoping you wouldn't say. oh, my god. and you said yes? >> no, at first i said, "yo, what's up?" [ laughter ] >> jimmy: that's a good response. >> i was like, "for realsies?" and he was like, "yeah, i understand." he's like, "i mean --" his wife was so sweet. and i loved her so much. i was like, "well, i'll do it if dana does it." it was another friend of mine who does stand-up. and i was basically like, "dana is not going to do it." [ laughter ] and so i was like, "i'll do it

if dana does it." and dana was like, "would you really put me in that position?" so she said she would do it. >> jimmy: wait, so you got an opener as well? [ laughter ] >> no, i was like, "yes --" [ laughter ] i was like, "i'm opening. you're closing." >> jimmy: oh, okay. oh, okay. that's a good friend right there. yeah, exactly. >> i was kind of laughing -- >> jimmy: ladies and gentlemen, give it up for dana. yeah. >> so -- he set up this whole thing. >> jimmy: where were you? >> we were --it was in beverly hills. it was a clinic -- one of the high tech, expensive ass places. >> jimmy: you're in like a a hospital? >> no, well -- >> jimmy: basically. >> it's just for -- it's an infertility clinic. >> jimmy: yeah. >> a huge place. so he's like, "we're going to go back first. and then, i'll come get you." >> jimmy: so you're not doing it right then and there. >> no, not while they're -- >> jimmy: okay, gotcha. [ laughter ] >> but it's right after. it's the time where she's, you know, in the bed and laying there. and kind of elevated a little bit. so he's like, "come back now." so we walked back. and then i noticed he has like a laptop set up. he's set up a music intro. next thing you know, he comes

out with a rainbow afro, like a a clown afro. and he's doing a whole intro, like a thing. he was opening the show. >> jimmy: wow, i thought i had a bizarre gig in my life. but this is unbelievable. >> yeah, and we were in the hallway like -- and nurses are going by like, "what is happening?" [ laughter ] so i go in first and, you know, i do my opener. and so some nurses come in and some stay to watch and they're laughing. the doctor is coming in from the other room, she's like, "what is going on? this is a very trying time in couples' lives. and you guys are in here laughing." i was like, "bra, this wasn't me." [ laughter ] this was the last gig i wanted. >> jimmy: it's a paid gig! it's the clown's fault. it's not my fault, yeah. >> so i finished. dana finished. >> jimmy: and they laughed. >> yes, and it worked. so i'm funny, apparently. >> jimmy: it works! >> it works. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: they have a baby. they have a baby. that's great news. it works. you are funny. >> yeah. >> jimmy: let's talk about

"good girls." explain what this show is about. >> it's basically about three moms who feel kind of backed in a corner financially. and the only way to save their families is to commit a crime. and it backfires on them. because the crime was the least of their problems. >> jimmy: and it's a great cast, christina hendricks, mae whitman. i heard that there was a -- was it you were doing a robbery in the show? >> yes, we were shooting the robbery scene. and next door, there was a a robbery. [ laughter ] i mean, i swear. >> jimmy: that's a genius, first of all. that's fantastic. >> they were like, "we're going to use their cover." so, you know, one of our p.a.s, bobby who is hilarious -- there was a thing was like, "everybody, everybody down. everybody down." we're like, "bro, relax." he was like, "no, no, there's a a real robbery. stand down. stand down." i was like, "i'm going to need you to settle." [ laughter ]

>> jimmy: i can act, okay? stop directing me. that's a little crazy. >> for real, there was a a robbery next door. we were like, "aw snap!" taking off our stuff so we didn't get caught up like thinking we were doing it. >> jimmy: oh, of course. >> started passing our guns to props like, "that's not us homie." [ laughter ] >> jimmy: oh my. >> yeah. >> jimmy: you got to be kidding me. >> it was stressful. >> jimmy: is it fun working with these girls? >> oh, it's so great. >> jimmy: yeah? >> we clicked very early on. actually the first time we met, we met for drinks with two of our e.p.s. and then we were like, "oh, we're going to order more drinks." and so we went and had dinner and had more drinks. and then ended up at christina's having more drinks. >> jimmy: and there you go. >> and then it was a mess. >> jimmy: then it was a mess. yeah, then the authorities were called. i want to show a clip. here is retta in "good girls." take a look at this. >> they're looking for him. >> do they know he's missing? >> i don't know. >> or is it just about the robbery? >> i don't know. >> what did you tell them? >> that you bashed his head in with a whiskey bottle. >> what, you think i did? >> so i got $18 in tips. i had to sell sam's favorite set of cufflinks for $250. sarah is playing her first

soccer game in a t-shirt instead of the team uniform, which gives us a grand total of $343. which means, we now owe $59,657 to the violent street gang. please tell me you did better. what's going on? >> there's been a development. >> what kind of development? [ applause ] >> jimmy: wow. it's a big deal. i also want to say i love seeing you in person. but your face is everywhere. >> yeah. >> jimmy: did you know that you're -- there's billboards all over the place? there's a giant one in times square. >> i know. i was like, "you know what? i made it."

[ laughter ] so -- but the bigger deal was yesterday my mom said she was going to come into town to take pictures of the billboards. and so she came in with her two besties. and then she took two pictures of the billboards. but then they took, like, 20 pictures of themselves on the digital because it was the camera that was facing them. so they sent me 20 pictures of them and two of me. i was like, "thanks." >> jimmy: very, very proud, mom. retta, everybody. congratulations.
