hey, thank you very much. please, please, welcome, welcome. good looking crowd right there. that's a hot crowd right there, new york city crowd. welcome, everybody to "late night with jimmy fallon." you guys feeling good tonight? [ cheers and applause ] that's what i'm talking about. here's what people are talking about. it's a big, big day for the video gamers out there. everybody has been waiting for this. finally it's here. today was the release of the video game, grand theft auto v. [ cheers ] kids were hoping their teachers didn't notice they weren't in school. while teachers were hoping their students didn't notice they weren't in school. it was very interesting. let's see what's going on in washington. joe biden has got people talking that he'll run for president after he was spotted at a fund-raiser in iowa this week. unfortunately, he missed giving his speech, because he spent four hours trapped in a corn maze. [ laughter and applause ] those things are very tricky. you don't know how to get out of that. >> steve: you don't know were to go. >> jimmy: it's fun for the whole

family. this is actually a really big deal for britney spears. i saw that britney spears just signed a $29 million contract to perform shows in vegas for two years. which explains that new saying, "what happens in vegas was prerecorded at a studio in l.a." [ laughter and applause ] it's catchy. not as catchy -- did you see "dancing with the stars" last night? did you see that? [ scattered cheers ] that's right, new season of "dancing with the stars." i thought this was interesting. the contestants made sure to point out their routines this year will not feature twerking. [ laughter ] you know a dance has a bad reputation when even snooki's like, "we're trying to keep things respectable around here. trying to class up the joint. no twerking." actually, one of the contestants on "dancing with the stars" this season this season is bill nye the science guy. [ cheers and applause ] we all love bill nye. >> steve: come on.

>> jimmy: did you see when he met his partner last night? he's just such a geek, this guy. i love him, but it's clear he was a little nervous. take a look at this. >> ladies and gentlemen, if you're watching, tyne is kind of a knockout. yeah? >> thank you. >> this might be the best example in history of beauty and the geek. watching the show, it looks like the successful couples have that -- i mean, frankly, it's sexual tension going on. from an evolutionary standpoint. >> right. [ laughter and applause ] >> jimmy: she was like, is that a beaker in your pocket or are you just happy -- it is a beaker. it is a beaker. it is a beaker. [ cheers and applause ] thank you very much. is that another beaker? >> steve: oh, you are happy to see me. >> jimmy: this is cool, you guys, there's a new iphone app. i don't know if you guys have heard about this? does anyone out there drink? [ cheers and applause ] this is a new iphone app that can apparently check to see if

your blood alcohol level is too high. the way it works is, if you dry to blow into your phone, your blood alcohol level is definitely too high. [ laughter and applause ] that doesn't work. just get in the cab. just get in the cab. >> steve: give me back my -- >> jimmy: it's like a breathalyzer for your iphone. it hooks into your iphone. we actually got a hold of it and tried it out. we had a few beers last night to kind of test it. and the more we blew into our phones the drunker siri got. [ light laughter ] in fact, i think she's still a little wasted. we have her here tonight. siri, how are you doing? >> not so good, jimmy. i don't remember much about last night. >> jimmy: we really went for it, you were hammered. >> i'm so embarrassed, i think i hooked up with a motorola razr. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: siri, do you have any good hangover cures? [ beep ] >> looking up hangover cures. ah, forget it, i honestly can't even deal.

the room is spinning. oh, god. >> jimmy: all right. siri, siri, before we go there's something i actually do need to know. can you tell me a good seafood restaurant in the area? >> seafood? you have to be [ bleep ] kidding me. we're going to white castle. but, let's stop somewhere to get a gatorade first. >> jimmy: okay, very good. thank you, siri, go take a nap. [ cheers and applause ] i don't know why they're doing this, but i read this week nasa is sending chocolates to astronauts on the international space station. i guess it makes sense, it's not like those guys have to watch their weight. it's like, "nope, still zero pounds." [ light laughter ] give me that joke. can i see that joke? joke weighs zero pounds. thank you, buddy. there you go. ♪ [ applause ] how are you doing? hey, guys, i love it.

everyone gets a free joke. i weighed zero pounds, the joke got zero laughs, interesting. >> steve: laughless. >> jimmy: actually, i'm in a good mood. i'm in a really good mood today because fall is around the corner. didn't it feel like it was fall today? [ cheers and applause ] it's like crisp -- it's fall. autumn is here, you know what that means. it's the return of starbucks' pumpkin spice latte. [ cheers and applause ] that's what i'm talking about. some people love it, some people don't. so, as a service to you, we're going to try to help sort out this mess and weigh the good with the bad. it's time for pros and cons. here we go. ♪ pros and cons and pros and cons and pros ♪ >> jimmy: that's right, here are the pros and cons of the pumpkin spice latte. pro, it contains pumpkin, sugar, spice and cinnamon.

con, so do most strip clubs. [ laughter and applause ] give it up for cinnamon, everybody. >> steve: they're pros. >> jimmy: pro, they make starbucks smell like a bakery. con, they make your breath smell like you ate a yankee candle. that's true. still good. i've done that before. >> steve: i've eaten many yankee candles. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: pro, the pumpkin spice latte has its own facebook page. con, realizing a cup of coffee has 12,000 more friends than you do, that's sad. pro, starbucks announced its arrival on twitter using the hash tag #psl. con, when that didn't trend, they quickly changed it to "you know that latte a skank if." [ laughter ] pro, getting excited about the return of the pumpkin spice latte can only mean one thing -- con, you're white.

[ laughter ] i guess that didn't make sense. >> steve: hooray. [ applause ] >> jimmy: and finally pro, you can get it with or without whipped cream. con, that was anthony weiner's campaign slogan. there you go. we have a great show tonight. give it up for the roots right there. ♪ [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: oh, my goodness. that was fun. we have a great show tonight. it is "timberlake tuesday" here on our show.

[ laughter ] but you kind of -- >> a nyquil dream? >> jimmy: yeah, you were kind of sneaking around. i did not know you were -- >> it's been a long time since i've heard that phrase. >> jimmy: exactly. >> i mean, that's -- that is obviously -- now the secret can be revealed. i want to thank you very sincerely for not having me thrown out of the building. >> jimmy: oh, come on. >> we creep in under cover of darkness. i mean, as you know, i am the

>> jimmy: the roots have a very, very adequate dressing room, though. >> they have a working room. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: it's very -- it's very, very nice. >> it's a working space, but -- >> jimmy: it's definitely a working space. >> definitely a working space. but it's a combination dressing room, workshop, laboratory, loveseat. >> jimmy: loveseat? questlove. >> of course. >> questlove: hey. >> jimmy: watch it. >> it also has no clocks and no windows, which is like a las vegas casino. >> jimmy: we don't let them know what time it is. >> you can lose the college fund in there no problem. and we -- i mean, actually, seriously, the last time we were leaving the set here, quest dropped a word in my ear about taking it further than just the songs we played here on the set. and i really appreciate, actually, that we got the opportunity. we developed the toolbox to make this record on this very stage. and steven mandel, who sits

there with his potions and -- >> jimmy: is that what those things are -- is that what they're called? potions? >> beakers, yeah. and he -- and cooking up this dialogue that we've had between quest and myself and all of the guys, and little by little, we admitted to ourselves we had made a record. >> jimmy: we -- i mean, it's getting unbelievable reviews, which i'm so happy about. congratulations on this. [ cheers and applause ] explain to me -- >> this is the -- >> jimmy: have you seen this yet? >> no, this is the first one i've seen. this is the moment that, you know -- like, it doesn't matter how many of these you make. when you get this thing in your hand, this is the -- this is it. and this -- look at this. it's, like, a proper record album. >> jimmy: yeah, it's a record out. it's art. [ cheers and applause ] they don't this anymore. they don't do it like that anymore. >> if you're going to have people, you know, sort of say, "well, we want you to hear what we did -- we put a lot of, you know -- lot of feeling into it." we cut up songs of mine, put them back together a different way to tell a different story.

and i've never had as much fun making something that's as -- it's -- there's a lot of contemplation of the things in the world. we all know what's wrong. we want to make it better. i think it's a hopeful record despite some of the sad songs that we're singing, but making it was a gas. >> jimmy: was a gas. i mean, i love it. i love it so much. "wise up ghost." here's the cover. "walk us uptown" is -- you're going to do it for us tonight on the show. and then on the internet, you're doing "tripwire" for the -- >> we're gonna do "tripwire" and then as many songs as you'll let us play. >> jimmy: all right. you guys are going to hear elvis costello. pick up a copy of "wise up ghost" with the roots in stores right now. you won't regret it. it is so good. they're gonna perform a song from the album when we get back. come on back, everybody.
