Kamala Harris Wants Trump Rattled at Debate, Strategizing Ways to “Poke the Bear” | The Tonight Show

-Welcome, welcome, welcome to "The Tonight Show." You're here. You made it. Thank you. Welcome. Well, guys, earlier today, students across the country went back to school. Yeah. Of course, the first day of school is always emotional. This morning, my kids were crying when I put them on the bus. And I think that's mostly because it was a Greyhound. And I -- -[ Laughter ] -They learned a lesson. But I hope everyone had a nice Labor Day weekend. Mine wasn't great. We put the cover on the pool without realizing my drunk uncle was still floating in it. And I think that's... At one point, we ran out of propane, so my dad grilled the rest of the burgers on a bug zapper. I didn't know what was happening. Hey, speaking of food, in a Netflix Labor Day special, Joey Chestnut beat Kobayashi in a hot-dog eating contest by eating a record 83 hot dogs in 10 minutes. [ Cheers and applause ] 83 hot dogs in 10 minutes. That's basically me at every wedding when they pass around the pigs in a blanket. I go, "I'll have one more." Thank you. Just one more. Oh, gimme -- Why don't you give me the tray and you walk around?" Yeah, he put down 83 hot dogs in 10 minutes. Netflix was like, "If you like this, you might enjoy 'Bridgerton.'" I go, "What does that mean? What does that mean?" Why would they -- -Hey! -Why would they -- -Bridget. -Ah. Luckily, they had a referee to explain the official rules of the hot-dog contest so nobody would be confused. Watch this. -The person who eats the most hot dogs will be the champion! -Oh. [ Laughter ] That -- I want that job. I want that job. I'm glad he laid out the rules. Yeah. Switching gears to some political news, the first debate between Vice President Harris and former President Trump is just one week away. Right now both Harris and Trump are spending hours each day preparing. Harris is working on various comebacks... while Trump is up to 80 hot dogs in 10 minutes. [as Trump] "She can't do 80. There's no way she could do 80 hot dogs! I can!" [ Cheers and applause ] But apparently, in her debate prep, Harris is focusing on ways to rattle Trump. Yep, she wants to rattle Trump. Right now she's deciding whether to wear a jacket that says "IRS" or "FBI." [ Laughter ] Some more election news -- a new poll found that Harris has widened her lead among women to 13 points. Trump -- [ Cheers and applause ] 13. Trump heard the news and was like... "Was it everything I said?" [ Laughter ] "Forever." Today Trump's aides were like, "You need to reach out to women." Then a few seconds later, they're like, "No, never mind! Just forget what we said and go back to eating the hot dogs." You guys hear about this? Two NASA astronauts are stuck on the International Space Station, and one of them reported a strange noise coming from Boeing's Starliner aircraft. It's space. Basically, any sound you hear outside is a bad sound. It's scary. Right now the astronauts are walking around space with a baseball bat. "Hello?! Hello?!" Well, some sports news. The US Open is in full swing right now and -- [ Cheers and applause ] Yeah, the tennis -- the tennis is amazing. Everyone's also talking about the $10 million in sales of a drink called the Honey Deuce. It's been around for a while, but it's more popular than ever.

[ Moans ] But look -- this is just vodka and lemonade and a skewer of melon balls. Only 23 bucks! -Only 23? 23 bucks isn't cheap. -Buzzkill. Pbht! -Hey, hey, Carl, aren't -- -Pbht! -Carl, aren't you supposed to be working right now? How's the tennis? -Tennis? I -- [ Laughing ] I haven't seen one ounce of tennis, but I've seen about 300 hundid ounces of Honey Deuce! [ Giggles ] [ Cheers and applause ] Jimmy... Jimmy, listen. And if you order now, you can get this lovely commemorative cup. -♪ Little Deuce cup, you don't know ♪ ♪ You don't know what I got ♪ -Carl! Carl! First of all, I want to say the audience behind you -- The crowd has been very still and quiet while you're doing this interview. That's kind of amazing. -It's dead over here.

You're Jimmy Fallon! Wazzzzup?! Aah! -That's right. -Wazzzzzaahhh! -Yeah. -You know, man? Hey! Hey! Hey!

It wasn't -- It wasn't great, but it was alright. -Alright. -Anyway, look. Get your Honey Deuces. The US Open is only gonna be going on for, like, another three months. -That's not true. Carl.

Hey, guys, I heard that a Delta Airlines passenger was removed from a flight in Florida for wearing a T-shirt that showed Trump flipping the middle finger and the words "Hawk Tuah." [ Laughter ] Yep, Delta kicked him off, then Spirit said, "Welcome aboard, Captain. How you doing? You ready to fly? Let's go."
