[ laughter and applause ] >> jimmy: check this out. rudy giuliani said that lately trump has only been eating half the bun on his burgers to be healthier.

shot, followed it up, they got a dunk. and we came back on the defensive end and we got a a stop. they look it on the sideline. jayson tatum took the ball out, threw it to marcus smart in the short corner. he made a three. we come back down, miss another shot. tatum came down and went 94 feet, did a euro-step, made a right hand layup. time-out. >> jimmy: yeah. [ laughter ] impressive. [ applause ] wow. wow. well, it didn't stop there. lebron actually kept talking. here's what he said.

[ laughter ] and turned his head 38 degrees counterclockwise. he made eye contact with a 5'6" woman in the crowd, about 39 years old, wearing a red boat neck top from macy's. [ light laughter ] that woman got some mustard on her shirt. and she told her friend how upset she was, that it was her favorite shirt. but her friend was like, 'whatever.' [ laughter ] you get the vibe that the lady in the red shirt was kind of always making things about her and that her friend wasn't having it. [ light laughter ] simultaneously up in the

balcony, section 310, row 13, seat six, a 4'6" fourth grade kid was dabbing and accidentally poked his older brother in the eye. [ light laughter ] he apologized to his blue-eyed brother, who was 5'1", 90 pounds. brother mouthed the words, 'that's okay, don't worry about it.' which i thought was nice, since sometimes brothers fight. [ light laughter ] then i looked back at the court and the game was over and we lost by 25 points, because i was looking at the crowd. whoops."

[ laughter ] telling them where they went wrong. yeah. roy cohn. i don't know. >> jimmy: how do you describe him? >> for those of you who don't know, he made his reputation as mainly as being chief counsel for joe mccarthy during the communist witch hunts. and somehow he survived that and came back to new york and became a very successful lawyer and power broker. >> jimmy: yeah. >> and -- but he was -- yes, he was a reprehensible, vile person. i mean, if you were a friend of his, he was very loyal and loving. but you wouldn't want to be on the wrong side of roy cohn.

and certainly, how he's really known now is as trump's lawyer and mentor. he sort of -- that's what that article -- >> jimmy: right. >> which is a great article by frank rich, which talks about roy cohn and how he ushered trump into new york society. and, you know, the tactics of never surrender, never admit defeat, you know. even when you lose, declare victory. counterattack and hit them ten times harder. >> jimmy: harder. >> and you know -- >> jimmy: control the press. >> and, yes, yes, control the press. and when all else fails, lie.

he was -- >> jimmy: yeah.

[ laughter ] >> but i can't complain. >> jimmy: no. >> because he's very sweet. every year on my birthday he sends me a stray dog and a part of someone's ear. >> jimmy: oh, is that right? >> yeah. >> jimmy: so thoughtful. [ laughter ] >> oh, yeah, he's sentimental, that one. >> jimmy: that is so? >> but here's what i figured out. [ laughter ] that, you know, he's my agent so i have to give him 10%. but he sends the percentage of

that to putin, who sends a a percentage of that to michael cohen, who sends a a percentage of that to stormy daniels. so essentially i'm -- [ laughter ] i'm paying trump's hush money. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: oh, my god. that's why -- [ applause ] i'm glad you did the math on that. >> if you do the math. >> jimmy: if you do the math on that, you'll figure it out. nathan, this is your -- this is your sixth -- sixth time you're nominated for a tony? >> yes. yes, it is. the first time -- yes. i -- you know, this is a -- it's very meaningful. it's a culmination of a lot of work. and you know, these nominations are great. now i love the tony awards. they're just like the oscars, if the oscars had a -- a a fabulous "queer eye" makeover. [ laughter ] and i look forward to the after party, where i get to explain who roy cohen was to the mean girls. [ laughter ] yes, but if you're going to the oscars, there are some do's and don'ts. i've written them down. some tony awards -- i know you'll be -- you went to the met gala, i'm sure you'll go full tilt gay and go to the tony awards. >> jimmy: oh, my god! [ laughter ] >> so here are the do's. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: oh!

i love you, man. >> here are the do's and don'ts. >> jimmy: these are the do's and don'ts -- >> you might want to write some of these down. >> jimmy: if you go to the tony awards. >> before the show, save time by injecting chardonnay directly into your veins. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: no -- that's a good one. >> do wax everywhere. and i mean everywhere. >> jimmy: okay, all right. [ laughter ] thank you for sharing that. >> don't point and laugh during the "in memoriam" segment. [ laughter ] don't thank mike pence in your acceptance speech. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: oh, yeah, no. >> don't try to take the flask out of angela lansbury's hands.

midterms initiative. and it's basically like a a two-pronged thing. the first one is education. so midterms are coming up. and there are, i think, maybe four million people that will be turning 18 this year. and it's really important that we understand the policies that are on the table in a very non-theoretical sense, in a a sense that's grounded in the human aspect of like what we're voting on. and then, the second prong is of course voter registration. and making sure first time voters know where to go, where their polling place is. if you're in college, how do you vote? all that stuff. >> jimmy: so it's 18 with an x -- >> yes, by 18. because i turned 18 this year. and i actually -- [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: i think that's so cool. >> thank you. >> jimmy: everyone should register. everyone should get out and vote and know how this whole process works. >> yeah, i mean, i actually had a voter registration party.

[ light laughter ] >> jimmy: and you're like -- and you're the one singing all the songs. >> yeah. >> jimmy: we have a picture that he posted. and he put, "that's how i met the future president."

and i went and i was blown away. and then, the roots went on to produce the soundtrack. >> i don't think you understand -- [ cheers and applause ] like -- i think, who was it -- i had met riz ahmed and we were at his "star wars" premiere. >> jimmy: oh yeah. >> but my point of contact was like, "i love your verse on the "hamilton" mix tape." >> jimmy: that's how you know him, from that? >> all points of reference comes from a "hamilton" soundtrack and/or mix tapes. >> jimmy: yeah, it's not "star wars," things like that. what's your favorite song? >> "cabinet battle 1." >> jimmy: yeah.
