[ cheers and applause come on. look how festive it looks. guys, let's get to the news and jokes.

well guys, this is exciting and historic day, because the united kingdom started giving out first doses of pfizer covid vaccine. watch this >> at 6:31 this morning, margaret keenan, who turns 91 next week, became first person ever given a tested and vetted covid vaccine outside of trials >> jimmy: that's right, 90-year-old margaret keenan is the first patient in the world to receive the pfizer vaccine. [ cheers and applause or as the queen put it, "sure, she was. [ laughter ] yes, we definitely gave to it to margaret keenan first." the u.k. vaccine underwent rigorous testing apparently gordon ramsey would try every version and then berate the scientist "you donkey, it's not a vaccine, it's raw. [ laughter ] it's meant to be kept in the freezer, donkey. [ laughter ] yeah, the vaccine is starting in the u.k. and then coming here

but your one annoying friend will be like, "i actually liked the original british version better [ laughter ] just nuanced and way more subtle." [ laughter ] that's right, big day over in the u.k. people are calling it "v-day" for vaccination day. yeah, v-day, not to be confused with tonight's bachelorette episode "vd day," that's a a different -- [ laughter ] different thing. meanwhile, this is going viral, it turns out -- this is real, the second person to get the vaccine was an 81-year-old man named william shakespeare. [ laughter ] yeah, william shakespeare got a vaccine on v-day which explains why he said "to v or not to v, that's the injection. [ laughter ] 'tis nobler to take moderna. i'm glad shakespeare got the vaccine, because in 81 years he hasn't been able to get a dinner reservation "yes, the name's william shakespeare. hello? [ laughter ]

they hung up." [ laughter ] that one got you man >> tariq: yeah >> jimmy: that's funny imagine living in the u.k. and being named after their greatest writer, william shakespeare. that's like living in the u.s. and being named after whoever writes the geico commercials [ laughter ] they're geniuses i don't know what's in the vaccine, but must be pretty amazing, 'cause after shakespeare got it, he challenged logan paul to a a boxing match [ laughter ] well, as the u.k. starts vaccinating, some news just broke about our own supply it turns out this summer the trump administration turned down pfizer when they asked if we wanted to buy more doses. trump knows he messed up, when asked about it, he was like "i'm only answering questions about mario lopez playing colonel sanders. speaking of the white house, i read that trump wants to hand out mass pardons to quote, "every person who ever talked to him, even people who don't need pardons."

yep, trump's handing out mass pardons. the only other time you hear that phrase is after rudy giuliani eats taco bell "pardon -- [ laughter ] pardon me. oop, pardon. pardon me, sorry oh, that's a half pardon, sorry. [ laughter ] oh and course president trump is still refusing to accept the results of the election, but he's not only one. a new "washington post" survey says 89% of all republicans serving in congress won't accept biden's victory here's what a few republicans said when asked about the election first up, congressman greg pence said, "if biden wins, i'll quit, and focus on my etsy product, lipstick for men. [ laughter ] up next, senator tom cotton said, "trump will be president by the time that gumball i swallowed last year finally works its way down my throat." [ laughter ] next up, congressman dusty johnson was like, "don't bother me, i'm busy losing a a chess match to that girl from 'queen's gambit.'" [ laughter ]

up next, congressman fred upton said, "i trust the results, but not the congressmen who told me everyone was doing this pose." [ laughter ] then, senator mike braun was like, "this election was rigged or i wasn't once an extra in a a 'sopranos' restaurant scene. [ laughter ] and finally, senator john boozman said, "if you have proof the election was rigged, i'm all ears." [ laughter ] [ applause ] very interesting stuff here's a big tech story. today, apple unveiled a pair of noise-canceling headphones called the airpods max and get this, they cost $549 check them out yep. noise-canceling headphones for $549 when they heard, people quarantining with kids were like, "i'll give you $800. [ laughter ] here are the headphones in their case yeah, great. it looks like a storm trooper's purse. [ light laughter ]

hey, listen to this, i saw that pizza hut is now selling a new something for the holidays check this out it's the new triple-decker box from pizza hut look at this thing in america, that's actually our food pyramid [ laughter ] that' right. in the u.k. they have a covid vaccine. in america, we came up with the triple-decker pizza box. [ laughter ] it's a great idea. my biggest complaint about ordering pizza was always not having enough cardboard to awkwardly fold and smoosh down in my garbage can. [ laughter ] i'm turning into andy rooney now. [ laughter ] "that's the part i need more of when i get a pizza having to fold the cardboard and put it in my garbage can." [ laughter ] i can almost picture idiot guys across the country going, "honey, you could use this as a jewelry box. [ laughter ] see? oh, i saw that after 70 years, ikea is ending its popular catalog. i know

at its peak, ikea printed up to 200 million copies in one year, making it one of the world's most popular books in the world. so we put together this little tribute to our favorite products in the catalog over the years. enjoy. ♪ [ speaking in a foreign languag] [ laughter ] [ speaking in a foreign languag] [ dial up ringing [ laughter ] [ speaking in a foreign languag] [ applause ] >> jimmy: here's a wild story. two cousins here in new york city ages 7 and 12, took one of their parents' range rovers for a joy drive and ended up at a rest stop near delaware. the 12-year-old was like, "don't blame me, he was the one driving. [ laughter ] it got worse when the kids passed the officer a chuck e. cheese token and said, "what do you say we make this thing go

away?" [ laughter ] and finally, i heard about a a man in italy who walked 280 miles after a fight with his wife, then got fined for violating lockdown rules [ laughter ] i'm no marriage counselor, but it's probably not a great sign when someone storms out and walks to switzerland [ laughter ] that's last time he gets his wife a triple-decker pizza box for their anniversary.
