doing a great job. and a top aide to donald trump says he quit the campaign this weekend because of trump's public feuds, but trump said "he was fired." [ light laughter ] when asked what he was fired for, trump said "quitting. [ laughter ] you're fired for quitting, it's inexcusable." of course one of the highlights of last week's gop debate was when donald trump and rand paul got into a heated exchange. it was fantastic. can we look at a screen shot of that? yeah. [ laughter ] it got even weirder when their haircuts mated and they had a a litter of goldendoodles. [ laughter and applause ] can we see the picture again? that's how -- there it is, yeah. that's how you make goldendoodles. >> steve: that's how they make them. >> jimmy: that's how you make them. of course, in addition to the prime-time debate, they also held an earlier debate on fox news for some of the lower polling candidates. and one thing we noticed was that moderator martha maccallum asked some pretty complicated questions.

i don't know if the candidates were ready for them. check this out. >> governor pataki, 45 million people in this country are on food stamps, 9 million are on disability. there's an increasing willingness in this country to accept assistance. do you believe that we should be encouraging people to get off of it? >> i think you need somebody who has -- >> this is a complicated situation. are you okay with us being on their side? >> i think the last eight years -- [ laughter ] >> which side do you believe we should be on? >> the answer is no. >> which side are you on? >> why me? [ laughter and applause ] >> jimmy: there you go. i mean -- very picky. also during the earlier debate, rick perry said that if he were elected, he would tear up the nuclear agreement with iran. yeah. but then obama had it laminated just to mess with him. [ laughter ] it was like, "aw, give me the scissors." and get this, before last week's republican debate, hillary clinton's staff told supporters to stock up on soft projectiles like marshmallows to throw at the candidates on tv.

[ light laughter ] while chris christie's staff told the same thing to the live audience. [ laughter and applause ] num, num. num, num. num, num, num, num, num. [ applause ] fun. >> steve: hey! >> jimmy: also, i saw that president obama is on vacation in martha's vineyard for the next two weeks. ooh, yeah. critics say it makes america look weak. or at the very least kinda dorky. [ laughter and applause ] "the urkel has landed. i repeat, the urkel has landed." "did i do that?" [ laughter ] ooh, a little drama here. a little drama. in a new interview miley cyrus criticized taylor swift's video for "bad blood" saying it glorifies violence and revenge and added, "i don't see why boobs are worse than guns." [ light laughter ] they're not. [ laughter ] it's just that you shouldn't take out either one of them and randomly point them at people.

that's the only thing -- that's the only thing i ask. [ applause ] no problem with it. only thing i ask. this is cool here. it's rumored that ozzy osbourne may be appearing in the upcoming "ghostbusters" movie. [ cheers ] of course, they had to use cgi to make him look less like a a ghost. [ laughter ] but it's still interesting. "sharon, get me out of this ghost trap!" [ laughter ] i don't know if you guys saw this, but there was a lot of controversy in india. [ laughter ] >> steve: yeah. >> jimmy: there was a lot of controversy in india recently after the government banned over 800 porn sites but then lifted the ban after just a a week. that's right. porn started back up after being gone for a week, or as we call that here in america, "lent." [ laughter and applause ] and finally, this is pretty interesting here. a new report claims that

william shakespeare was a big marijuana user and may have been high when he wrote some of his plays. [ light laughter ] which explains that one line, "to be or not to be, wait, what was the question?" [ laughter ] we have a great show. give it up for the roots right there! [ cheers and applause ] [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: oh! that saxophonist and four-time grammy nominee, boney james, sitting in with the roots tonight! [ cheers and applause ]

[ cheers and applause ] plus, jim belushi and great music from yolanda adams. oh my goodness, tomorrow night she's gonna go crazy.

[ cheers and applause ] i mean, that's is a hot week. >> steve: come on. >> jimmy: but first, we have a a fun, fun show tonight. we love it when he stops by, from the new film "the diary of a teenage girl," chris meloni is here.

[ cheers and applause ] >> steve: oh! >> jimmy: they love it. >> steve: oh, come on! >> jimmy: they love the meloni. >> steve: we me-love us some meloni. >> jimmy: chris and i are going to play a game of catchphrase. yeah, thank you. [ light laughter ] plus -- that was perfect. >> steve: yeah. >> jimmy: everyone -- ooh. >> steve: ooh, catchphrase. >> jimmy: yeah. it's a great crowd. this guy is one of the biggest names in country music. and you know what, he deserves it. he works his butt off, man. gosh, he's unbelievable. always backstage just signing records and stuff. still -- i was like -- he's just unbelievable, i love the guy. luke bryan is on the show tonight. [ cheers and applause ] we're going to talk with luke and he's going to perform his new single "strip it down" from his new album "kill the lights," which was number one on itunes this morning. so yeah, he's doing great. love that guy. >> steve: come on. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: luke bryan. guys, as i mentioned earlier, donald trump got in some hot water this weekend over some controversial remarks he made about fox news anchor megyn kelly. people are still talking about this.

so earlier today, trump held a a press conference to explain what he meant as well as clarify some other remarks he's made recently. and we got footage. [ laughter ] >> steve: really? we got footage? no one else has the footage? >> jimmy: no, he gave it to us. >> steve: no news sources or anything? >> jimmy: yeah, his people gave it to "the tonight show." [ laughter ] to show -- he didn't want to give it to news sources. >> steve: yeah. >> jimmy: he doesn't trust anybody else. >> steve: right, doesn't trust 'em. doesn't trust the media. >> jimmy: i think. i don't know. i don't really know how we got our hands on this videotape. [ light laughter ] on videotape? on this hard -- somebody sent us the file. >> steve: oh. >> jimmy: and we ended up with it. >> steve: wow. >> jimmy: that's what we got. so would you guys like to see it? [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: donald trump. take a look at this. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: you're welcome. you're welcome. you're welcome. look, i know everyone's all up in arms about the comments i made about megyn kelly after last week's gop debate, which

by the way, i won easily. [ laughter ] i was fantastic. the ratings were huge. [ light laughter ] anyway, yesterday i called megyn kelly to personally not apologize. [ laughter ] when i said blood was coming out of her wherever, i obviously meant nose and ears. [ laughter ] if you think i was talking about something else, you're a a deviant. [ laughter ] i was not referring to hormones or menstruation. period. [ laughter and applause ] anyone who thinks otherwise is a total deviant. it's amazing how the media loves to twist my words. viciously attack me. it happens all he time. like last week, when i said my wife melania had the best melons in the world of course i meant her honeydew melons, which by the way, can't be beat. [ laughter ] only a deviant would think i

was talking about her boobs, which by the way, are classy and fantastic. [ laughter and applause ] the other day when i said to -- i said that carly fiorina had too much junk in the trunk. i obviously talking about the amount of stuff she keeps in the back of her hyundai sonata. [ laughter ] it's like a costco back there. she has a -- she has a case of those giant cans of juicy juice. you know, the ones that you have to open with a can opener on both sides. i prefer juice drinks that doesn't come in a paint can, [ laughter ] deviant. [ applause ] or last month when i said i would love to have a foursome with katy perry, taylor swift, and nicki minaj. i was simply talking about golf. [ laughter ] which also explains why i said i'd love for them to wash my balls. deviant. deviant.

okay? or when i said that me and gary busey like to do it doggie style. i just meant -- [ laughter ] i just meant that sometimes i'll toss a frisbee and he'll catch it in his mouth like a a dog. [ laughter and applause ] what else could that possibly mean? deviant. twisting my words. and finally, when i said i love fat tony's big greasy sausage and couldn't wait to get it in my mouth, how could you not know i was talking about my local butcher tony esposito and his quality meat products? deviants. [ cheers and applause ] now if you'll excuse me, i have to get back to the campaign trail and pound some bush. [ laughter and applause ] what? deviants! deviants! deviants!
