THANK YOU FOR WATHCING AT HOME WELL, GUYS, LET'S GET INTO IT. LAST NIGHT WAS THE 94th ANNUAL
ACADEMY AWARDS [ CHEERS ] AMERICA MAY BE DIVIDED, BUT IT
WAS KINDA NICE FOR ALL OF US TO COME TOGETHER AND SAY, "HOLY CRAP," AT THE SAME TIME.
[ LAUGHTER ] OF COURSE, I HAVE TO ADDRESS THE BIG MOMENT THAT EVERYONE'S
TALKING ABOUT AND THAT IS, QUESTLOVE WINNING THE OSCAR FOR BEST DOCUMENTARY
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE YES! YES!
QUESTLOVE! QUEST TOLD ME HE'S NOT GONNA LET IT GO TO HIS HEAD.
WELL ACTUALLY, HIS ASSISTANT'S ASSISTANT TOLD ME I COULDN'T GET IN TOUCH WITH QUESTLOVE,
BUT HE IS GOING TO BE ON THE SHOW TONIGHT HE'S GONNA BE OUR GUEST
ON THE SHOW TONIGHT. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE BRING THE OSCAR.
BUT ACTUALLY, SOMETHING ELSE DID HAPPEN ON THE SHOW DO YOU GUYS REMEMBER A FEW
YEARS AGO WHEN THE OSCARS LITERALLY ANNOUNCED THE WRONG WINNER FOR BEST PICTURE?
TURNS OUT THAT WAS CHILD'S PLAY [ LAUGHTER ]
YEP, THERE WAS A PRETTY ROUGH MOMENT DURING THE SHOW, AND I THINK YOU ALL KNOW WHAT I'M
TALKING ABOUT. EVERYONE IN THE AUDIENCE LOOKED SHOCKED, AND FOR ONCE IT WASN'T
FROM THE BOTOX [ LAUGHTER ] SERIOUSLY, YOU KNOW IT WAS A
A STRANGE AWARD SHOW WHEN IT ENDS WITH A STATEMENT FROM THE L.A.P.D., YOU KNOW WHAT I'M
SAYING [ LAUGHTER ] YEP, IN JUST A SPLIT SECOND,
THE OSCARS WENT FROM OSCAR De La RENTA TO OSCAR De La HOYA, YOU KNOW
[ LAUGHTER ] LOOK, YOU MOVE THE AWARD FOR BEST FILM EDITING OUT OF THE
MAIN BROADCAST AND ALL HELL BREAKS LOSE. BUT LET'S FOCUS ON THE
POSITIVE I THOUGHT AMY SCHUMER, REGINA HALL, AND WANDA SYKES
DID A GREAT JOB HOSTING THE SHOW [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
THEY DID SO WELL THEY ARE ALREADY REHEARSING THEIR NO'S FOR WHEN THEY ARE ASKED TO COME
BACK YEAH IT'S A TOUGH JOB HOSTING THE
OSCARS IT'S LIKE DRINKING HARD MOUNTAIN DEW
AT FIRST, YOU CAN'T WAIT TO TRY IT, AND THEN AFTER YOU'RE LIKE, "NEVER AGAIN."
YOU KNOW [ LAUGHTER ] BUT ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, THE
OSCARS REBOUNDED FROM LAST YEARS RECORD LOW RATINGS DRAWING OVER 15 MILLION
VIEWERS. [ AUDIENCE OHS ] THAT IS LIKE TAKING ALL THE
PEOPLE WHO WATCHED BEST PICTURE NOMINEES AND ADDING 15 MILLION VIEWERS.
[ LAUGHTER ] THERE WERE A LOT OF REASONS MORE PEOPLE WATCHED THIS YEAR,
AND I THINK ONE OF THEM MIGHT HAVE BEEN TIMOTHEE CHALAMET'S OUTFIT
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE YEAH
TURNS OUT CHALAMET IS FRENCH FOR CHEST WAX. [ LAUGHTER ]
VLADIMIR PUTIN CALLS THAT LOOK BUSINESS CASUAL. [ LAUGHTER ]
LET'S SWITCH GEARS DURING A SPEECH IN POLAND THIS WEEKEND, PRESIDENT BIDEN WENT
OFF SCRIPT, AND SAID THAT PUTIN CANNOT REMAIN IN POWER HOWEVER, THE WHITE HOUSE
QUICKLY WALKED IT BACK AND SAID BIDEN WASN'T CALLING FOR HIS REMOVAL.
THAT'S LIKE IF REAGAN'S STAFF SAID, "HE ACTUALLY MEANT TO SAY, 'MR. GORBACHEV, TEAR DOWN
THIS WALL PAPER.'" [ LAUGHTER MEANWHILE, I HEARD THAT THIS WEEK THE HOUSE IS EXPECTED TO
PASS A BILL LEGALIZING MARIJUANA. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
THIS BILL PROBABLY WON'T PASS RIGHT AWAY EXPERTS ARE SAYING THAT THEY
WILL MOST LIKELY, "PUFF, PUFF THEN PASS. [ LAUGHTER ]
REALLY GOOD. >> Steve: NICE >> Jimmy: ONE GUY REALLY GOT
IT HE ALMOST GOT IT TOO SOON. [ LAUGHTER ]
HE WAS LIKE AH THAT'S RIGHT, THE BILL WILL BE SIGNED AT THE WHITE HOUSE, THEN
FRAMED AT WHITE CASTLE [ LAUGHTER ] THAT'S INTERESTING
AND FINALLY A WOMAN IN THE U.K. JUST BROKE THE WORLD RECORD FOR THE MOST CHICKEN NUGGETS EATEN
IN ONE MINUTE. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE AND SHE DID IT AFTER TELLING

EVER TURN DOWN AND, TO DO THE JAY-Z, BEYONCE GOLD PARTY IS ONE OF THE
HARDEST THINGS EVER TO DO IN LIFE LIKE, TO PLEASE THAT MANY
PEOPLE IN THAT - >> Jimmy: YEAH SO YOU -- YOU PURPOSELY CHOSE
THAT YOU'RE GONNA DJ BEYONCE'S AND JAY-Z'S PARTY, BECAUSE THAT'LL BE MORE PRESSURE IN
YOUR HEAD. >> Questlove: OH, UP UNTIL THAT -- ONCE I ACCEPTED THAT
GIG, THEN IT WAS LIKE, "OH, WHAT -- WHAT OSCAR I DON'T CARE."
[ LIGHT LAUGHTER ] >> Jimmy: BUT, YEAH -- >> Questlove: AT NIGHT I'M
LIKE, "OOH, I THINK I HAVE THE RIGHT SONG." >> Jimmy: WHAT ARE THEY
SAYING -- YEAH, YEAH SO, DID YOU END UP PLAYING SMASH MOUTH?
[ LIGHT LAUGHTER ] >> Questlove: I FORGOT WE HAD A BET.
[ LAUGHTER ] I MEAN, I PLAYED "SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT," WHICH IS -
NO, JIMMY AND I HAD A BET THAT MY FIRST SONG WAS GONNA BE SMASH MOUTH, "ALL STAR," WHICH
I DON'T THINK IS WHAT JAY-Z REALLY WANTS TO HEAR [ LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: BUT, WHAT IF -- WHAT IF THEY WERE LIKE, "OH, LISTEN HERE COMES QUESTLOVE, WHAT'S HE
GOING TO PLAY? >> Questlove: I KNOW NO ONE THAT FRONTS ON "ALL STAR."
SO, IT'S LIKE, WHEN YOU PUT IT ON YOU'RE FORCED TO SING IT AGAINST YOUR WILL.
>> Jimmy: YOU HAVE TO. INCLUDING JAY-Z. >> Questlove: EXACTLY, SO --
>> Jimmy: HE WOULD BE LIKE - * SOMEBODY ONCE -- * >> Questlove: RIGHT.
[ LIGHT LAUGHTER ] >> Jimmy: AND HE WOULD GET INTO IT
ANYWAY >> Questlove: SO, I'LL TELL YOU THIS MUCH.
THERE WAS ONE POINT WHERE THAT -- WHERE IT JUST BECAME LIKE, A CYCLONE OF -- OF A MOSH
PIT. AND INSIDE THIS MOSH PIT OF JUST, JUMPING PEOPLE, I SEE
ANNA WINTOUR, SORT OF LIKE - >> Jimmy: NO NO WAY
>> Questlove: SO I THINK - >> Jimmy: YOU DID WELL >> Questlove: YEAH, I THINK
THAT IF I -- IF I DO THE MET GALA, THEN I'LL START OFF WITH SMASH MOUTH.
>> Jimmy: ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, PERFECT. [ LIGHT LAUGHTER ]
THERE YOU GO WHEN YOU'RE IN THE -- WHEN YOU'RE IN THE CROWD AND THEY
ANNOUNCE YOUR NAME, THAT YOU WON, AND EVERYONE GIVES YOU A STANDING OVATION -
WHEN YOU'RE NEXT TO YOUR MOTHER - WHAT IS GOING THROUGH YOUR
HEAD, AND HOW -- DID YOU - I MEAN, YOU GOT EMOTIONAL. BUT I WOULD HAVE BEEN -- I WAS
CRYING IN MY LIVING ROOM >> Questlove: WE WERE THE ONLY TWO PEOPLE IN THE ROOM
LIKE, IT WAS THAT MOMENT THAT I REALIZED THAT LIKE, WE WENT THROUGH SO MUCH, LIKE FROM, YOU
KNOW - >> Jimmy: YEAH >> Questlove: -- THEM
SACRIFICING TO PUT ME IN MUSIC SCHOOL, AND YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE, EITHER OUR BILLS OR MY
FUTURE AND I JUST THOUGHT ABOUT ALL THOSE MOMENTS AND, YOU KNOW,
AND OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, THAT HAPPENED IN THE CYCLONE OF A A WHOLE 'NOTHER SITUATION --
>> Jimmy: YEAH >> Questlove: -- WITH TWO VERY GOOD FRIENDS OF MINE
AND I REALLY WASN'T AWARE OF THAT I -- IT'S WEIRD TO SAY
BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THEY TELL YOU AHEAD OF TIME, "THIS IS YOUR CATEGORY.
AND SO, IN THAT MOMENT, YOU ARE EITHER GOING TO BE FULL OF ANXIETY, OR FOR ME, LIKE,
I'VE -- I'VE BEEN LIKE, MEDITATING FOR LIKE THE LAST TWO YEARS.
SO I DO TRANS-MED -- ACTUALLY, SEINFELD TAUGHT ME ABOUT THAT. LIKE -
>> Jimmy: T.M. >> Questlove: YEAH, T.M. AND YOU KNOW, A MINUTE -- WHEN
THE COMMERCIAL BREAK WAS HAPPENING, I WAS JUST IN MY "MM --" >> Jimmy: YEAH
>> Questlove: SO WHEN I OPENED MY EYES, I DIDN'T REALIZE -- LIKE, "WHY IS EVERYONE SO
QUIET. LIKE, I LITERALLY WAS NOT PRESENT FOR THAT WHOLE ENTIRE
MOMENT AND AS I'M WALKING TO THE STAGE, I'M KIND OF PUTTING TWO
AND TWO TOGETHER AND I REALIZE THAT THAT WAS A REAL MOMENT LIKE, MAYBE THREE
SECONDS BEFORE I SPOKE WORDS >> Jimmy: YEAH >> BUT, IN MY MIND, THEY'RE
JUST DOING A SKETCH OR WHATEVER, AND I'M JUST LIKE, "OKAY, AHMIR
REMEMBER TO THANK YOUR MOM, YOUR DAD, THANK -- NO, LIKE -
>> Jimmy: REALLY >> Questlove: SO I WAS NOT PRESENT AT ALL
I WAS JUST IN A BLANK SPACE. >> Jimmy: AND DID PEOPLE SITTING AROUND YOU HAVE A VIBE
TOO? >> Questlove: I WAS IN THE FUN SECTION.
I WAS -- I WAS RIGHT, LIKE, I WAS IN THE DOCUMENTARY - THEY PUT THE DOCUMENTARY PEOPLE
AND THE ANIMATION PEOPLE >> Jimmy: OH, THAT'S FUN. >> Questlove: SO THE "ENCANTO,"
LIKE - THAT WHOLE -- THEY WERE -- THEY WERE HAVING, LIKE, HOT TAKIS
AND -- [ LAUGHTER ] AND -- AND -- YOU KNOW -
>> Jimmy: HOW DO THEY SMUGGLE THAT INTO THE OSCARS >> Questlove: DUDE, IT -- WE
HAD A PICNIC [ LIGHT LAUGHTER ] LIKE, THEY WERE -- THEY WERE
SHARING, LIKE, SNACKS WITH ME. SO - >> Jimmy: YOU LOOKED GREAT,
YOUR MOM LOOKED GREAT. I WANT TO SHOW A PICTURE OF YOU AND YOUR MOM, JUST SO --
>> Questlove: YOU KNOW, I'VE NOT -- I'VE NOT -- I PURPOSELY HAVE NOT WATCHED THE HIGHLIGHT
REEL [ AUDIENCE AWS ] BUT I HEAR THAT -- MY MOM LOVES
CRYING AT ANYTHING >> Jimmy: DUDE, I LOST IT. >> Questlove: LIKE, MY FIRST
GRADE RECITAL SHE CRIED. LIKE, SHE ALWAYS CRIES AT ANYTHING
LIKE, "MOM, I GOT A C-MINUS. "OH, MY BABY," LIKE -- [ LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: I JUST KNOW HER FROM SITTING RIGHT IN THE AUDIENCE UP THERE, AND SAYING HI TO HER
>> Questlove: SO THEY DID A CLOSE UP OF MY MOM >> Jimmy: DUDE
>> Questlove: AW, MAN. I -- I ALREADY KNOW. >> Jimmy: NO, DUDE
I LOST IT, DUDE. I WAS -- I LOST IT NANCY, EVERYONE?
>> Questlove: I'M NOT ONE TO - I'M NOT ONE TO -- TO GO IN THE HIGHLIGHT --
LIKE, I DON'T -- THIS IS AN OLD REFERENCE, BUT YOU KNOW, LIKE AL BUNDY DOES THE WHOLE LIKE,
POLK HIGH SCHOOL, FOUR TOUCHDOWNS, HIGHLIGHT REEL THING.
>> Jimmy: YEAH >> Questlove: ASK YOUR KIDS. ASK YOUR PARENTS
UM, BUT, YOU KNOW, I'VE NOT WATCHED ANY HIGHLIGHT REEL OR ANYTHING
SO I - >> Jimmy: YEAH, YOU'RE - >> Questlove: I DON'T WANT TO
GET STUCK IN THAT THING WHERE I'M LIKE, "JUST WATCH IT, OKAY WATCH ME WALK TO THE STAGE
RIGHT NOW. >> Jimmy: YEAH, YEAH I CAN'T TELL YOU -- OBVIOUSLY,
YOU KNOW, WE LOVE YOU, AND WE'RE PROUD OF YOU, BUT EVERYBODY, EVERYBODY WHO KNOWS
YOU LOVES YOU AND IS SO PROUD OF YOU, DUDE IT COULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED TO A
A BETTER DUDE. >> Questlove: I'M GONNA -- [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
LET ME JUST TELL YOU I'M GONNA TELL YOU WHAT'S -- THIS -- THIS IS REAL QUICK, AND
I'M NOT -- I'M WORLD FAMOUS FOR DEFLECTING ANY PRAISE OR LOVE OR WHATEVER,
BUT -- I HAVE TO SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, MY -- MY TRUE REWARD IN THIS
WHOLE THING IS THAT, YOU KNOW, I'M IN THIS -- THIS CREATIVE ATMOSPHERE
LIKE, I CONSIDER THIS 30 ROCK UNIVERSE -- LIKE, I DON'T SAY, LIKE "OH, I'M GOING TO 'THE
TONIGHT SHOW'" OR "FALLON" OR WHAT - 30 ROCK IS LIKE THE BEST
COLLEGE I'VE EVER BEEN TO. WHERE I CAN GO TO DIFFERENT FLOORS AND WATCH PEOPLE WORK,
AND THEN THEY'RE CREATIVE. AND THE FACT THAT I, LIKE, GET TO -- TO CREATE WITH MY FRIENDS
OVER THERE, AND -- AND WITH YOU -- THAT TO ME IS -- IS THE REAL --
AND I KNOW IT SOUNDS LIKE SO HOLLYWOOD ANSWER LIKE, "OH, THAT'S MY REAL
REWARD," BUT THAT TO ME IS WHAT MATTERS. AND THE FACT THAT I GET TO LIVE
OUT MY DREAMS, AND YOU PROVIDED THIS PLATFORM FOR ME TO -- IF I WANT TO WRITE A COOKBOOK ONE
DAY, OR IF I WANNA, YOU KNOW, TEACH CLASS, OR START A RADIO SHOW
AND LIKE, I DIDN'T EVEN START TO LISTEN TO MY DREAMS UNTIL I CAME HERE IN 2009, SO I REALLY
WANT TO THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THAT PLATFORM. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
