SWEATPANTS [ LIGHT LAUGHTER ] LET'S GET TO SOME NEWS
I SAW FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A A ROW THE WHITE HOUSE CANCELED THEIR ANNUAL EASTER EGG ROLL
BECAUSE OF COVID, BUT THEY HELD A VIRTUAL ONE FOR THE KIDS INSTEAD.
I'M ACTUALLY MORE BUMMED FOR PRESIDENT BIDEN THAN I AM FOR THE KIDS BECAUSE THERE'S
NOTHING HE WOULD HAVE ENJOYED MORE THAN YELLING AT A BUNCH OF KIDS TO GET OFF HIS LAWN
[ LAUGHTER ] "GET OFF MY LAWN!" TO BE HONEST I'M A LITTLE
RELIEVED, BECAUSE WHEN I HEARD THE EASTER EGG ROLL WAS CANCELED, I WAS LIKE, "OH NO,
WHAT OFFENSIVE TWEET DID THEY FIND FROM THE EASTER BUNNY?" [ LAUGHTER ]
BUT TODAY PRESIDENT BIDEN AND THE FIRST LADY APPEARED ON THE WHITE HOUSE BALCONY, AND THEY
WERE JOINED BY A SPECIAL GUEST TAKE A LOOK.
>> THANK YOU FOR JOINING US TODAY. AND WE'RE -- WE HAVE A SPECIAL
GUEST, YOU CAN SEE TO MY LEFT HERE [ LAUGHTER ]

WE WISH YOU HEALTH, HOPE, JOY, AND THE PEACE OF GOD, WHICH PASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING
>> HAPPY EASTER, EVERYONE. >> Jimmy: THAT WAS SWEET AND IN THE INTERESTS OF EQUAL
TIME, I'M SURE THE FORMER PRESIDENT'S EASTER MESSAGE WAS JUST AS UPLIFTING.
>> CHECK OUT HIS EASTER STATEMENT.
"HAPPY EASTER TO ALL, INCLUDING THE RADICAL LEFT CRAZIES WHO RIGGED OUR PRESIDENTIAL
ELECTION AND WANT TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY. [ LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: WELL, JESUS COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER HIMSELF. YOU KNOW
THAT'S RIGHT BIDEN CELEBRATED EASTER WHILE APPARENTLY TRUMP IS STILL
FURIOUS ABOUT HIS ELECTION PASSOVER [ AUDIENCE OHS ]
>> Steve: HEY! * [ CHEERS ]
>> Jimmy: ONCE IT'S CLOSED, IT'S HARD TO OPEN -- REOPEN THE CURTAINS
BACK TO BIDEN, I SAW THAT HIS CABINET RECENTLY SAT FOR THEIR FIRST GROUP PHOTO TOGETHER
HERE IT IS [ LIGHT LAUGHTER ] THESE GUYS LOOK LIKE THEY'RE
READY FOR ONE HELL OF A HOLIDAY MATTRESS SALE. [ LIGHT LAUGHTER ]
THAT LOOKS LIKE THE PHOTO YOU WOULD YOU SEE RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING OF A NETFLIX CULT
DOCUMENTARY. [ LAUGHTER ] THIS IS GREAT NEWS
I READ THAT THE U.S. IS NOW AVERAGING MORE THAN THREE MILLION VACCINE SHOTS PER DAY.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE >> Steve: YES! >> Jimmy: YEAH
YEAH, WE'RE GIVING OUT THREE MILLION SHOTS A DAY. SAME AS EVERY BAR IN MIAMI
[ LAUGHTER ] BUT THIS IS REALLY GREAT NEWS. IT'S THE FIRST TIME YOU'LL HEAR
SOMEONE WHO IS EXCITED TO SAY, "I JUST GOT STABBED AT THE JAVITS CENTER.
[ LAUGHTER ] AND THIS IS BIG. THE CDC JUST ANNOUNCED THAT
FULLY VACCINATED PEOPLE CAN TRAVEL NOW, IT'S ONLY FOR ESSENTIAL
TRAVEL BUT AMERICANS ARE LIKE, "IT'S BEEN A YEAR.
TRUST ME, THE TRIP TO CABO IS VERY ESSENTIAL." [ LAUGHTER ]
AND GET THIS THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS LAUNCHING A $500,000 CONTEST
CALLED THE MASK INNOVATION CHALLENGE. NOW, AMERICANS HAVE UNTIL APRIL
21st TO SUBMIT THEIR IDEAS FOR NEW MASKS THAT ARE BOTH EFFECTIVE AND COMFORTABLE.
WHICH BRINGS US TO A NEW SEGMENT CALLED, "PEOPLE WHO WON'T BE WINNING THE MASK
INNOVATION CHALLENGE." ENJOY. [ LAUGHTER ]
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE >> THIS HAS BEEN "PEOPLE WHO
WON'T BE WINNING THE MASK INNOVATION CHALLENGE." [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
>> Jimmy: YOU THINK THAT WAS A A GOOD IDEA? >> Tariq: I MEAN, YOU KNOW -- I
THINK IT CUTS AT LEAST HALF OF - [ LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: NO, IT DOES NOT. FOOD COVERS THE OTHER HALF >> Tariq: THE FOOD, IT DOESN'T
COVER THE OTHER HALF BUT THE FOOD IS STILL ONLY HALF, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN
HE'S NOT BREATHING THROUGH HIS NOSE, AT LEAST, WHILE HE'S EATING
YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES PEOPLE ARE NOSE BREATHERS WHEN THEY'RE EATING THEIR FOOD.
THEY'RE JUST HUFFING AND PUFFING AND SPREADING PROBABLY MORE GERMS
>> Jimmy: YOU DON'T THINK PEOPLE BREATHE OUT OF THEIR MOUTHS
>> Tariq: I MEAN, PEOPLE BREATHE OUT OF THEIR MOUTH WHILE THEY'RE EATING, YES.
BUT SOME PEOPLE ARE HEAVY -- JUST GET OFF MY LAWN, JIMMY! [ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

WITH OUR TEAM NAME, TOMAHAWK LOGO, OR CHANT." SOMEONE ELSE DEAL WITH THIS.
AND NOW REPUBLICANS SAY THEY'RE GOING TO BOYCOTT BASEBALL. THEY'RE ALREADY BOYCOTTING THE
NFL AND THE NBA. SOON THEIR ONLY SPORTS WILL BE GOLF AND JARTS

RIGHT NOW. SOME GOOD NEWS WAS JUST ANNOUNCED FOR RUSSIAN PRESIDENT

LIKE HIM >> Steve: OH, WOW! [ LIGHT LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: THE SURVEY WAS TAKEN BY 2,000 RUSSIANS, ALL WHILE PUTIN STOOD DIRECTLY BEHIND
THEM LICKING A MACHETE "GO AHEAD. VOTE."
IT MAKES SENSE THAT PUTIN IN RUSSIA -- IS RUSSIA'S HOTTEST MAN ALIVE, ESPECIALLY 'CAUSE
HIS BIGGEST COMPETITORS NO LONGER ARE [ LAUGHTER ]
FROM ENTERTAINMENT NEWS. "GODZILLA VS. KONG" SET A PANDEMIC RECORD AFTER MAKING
OVER $48 MILLION IN ITS FIRST FIVE DAYS. [ AUDIENCE OOHS
WOW. I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING. IT'S JUST AN APE AND A LIZARD

INITIAL STORY, IT WAS DURING THE TRAYVON MARTIN SITUATION IT WAS THE BEGINNING OF THE
BLACK LIVES MATTER MOVEMENT, AND WE WERE JUST, LIKE, FEELING ALL SORTS OF EMOTIONS.

HISTORY. AND FRED'S STORY ALWAYS RESONATED WITH US.
WE LEARNED ABOUT IT IN 2 2004 IN COLLEGE. IT'S ONE OF THOSE STORIES THAT
JUST STUCK WITH US ONCE WE GOT INTO THE INDUSTRY, WE FELT IT WAS IMPERATIVE TO
TRY TO GET THE STORY TOLD. >> Jimmy: CONGRATULATIONS ON THIS
