Trump Rejects Second Debate, Harris Campaign Sells Taylor Swift-Inspired Friendship Bracelets

-Enjoy yourself. Welcome, welcome, welcome to "The Tonight Show." You're here. Thank you for watching. [ Cheers and applause ] Well, guys, Halloween season has begun, and tomorrow is Friday the 13th. -Ooh. [ Audience "Oohs" ] -Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you're worried about bad luck, don't be, because, according to Trump, "people in Ohio are eating all the black cats. All the bla-- all the cats are being eaten!" [ Laughter and applause ] Well, this is fun. Last night was the 40th MTV Video Music Awards and they were -- It was great. There were great performances from stars like Eminem, Sabrina Carpenter, and Chappell Roan. Sadly, Snoop Dogg couldn't be there because "people in Ohio are eating all the dogs. All the dogs are being eat-- It's a..." [ Applause ] Well, this is going viral. During Sabrina Carpenter's performance, she made out with an alien. Watch this. -♪ Been there, done that once or twice ♪ ♪ Singing about it don't mean I care ♪ ♪ I know I've been known to share ♪ -Yeah. [ Cheers and applause ] Yeah, and that, kids, is how couples Halloween costumes are born. [ Laughter ] She's in. Katy Perry also performed last night, and people noticed that she had a lower-back tattoo that was actually a QR code to pre-order her album. [ Laughter ] Take a look at that. Yeah, there you go. [ Laughter ] I think the trend is catching on because President Biden also got a QR code. [ Laughter ] And if you scan it, it goes to a website that says, "If found, please guide back to White House." [ Laughter ] [ Cheers and applause ] ♪♪ Well, everyone's still talking about Taylor Swift's endorsement of Kamala Harris. And I saw that her campaign is now selling their own friendship bracelets. [ Laughter ] Yeah, and not to be outdone, Trump's campaign is now selling friendship ankle monitors. -Oh. [ Laughter ] [ Imitates ankle monitor beeping ] -Well, get this, guys, I read that 67 million people watched Tuesday night's presidential debate. Yep, it might be the first time in his life Trump was praying for low ratings. [ Laughter ] Following his rough debate, Trump's inner circle is now doing damage control. I'm sorry you work for Donald Trump. When are you not doing damage control? [ Laughter and applause ] It'd be weird... Please. Meanwhile, Trump's still convinced he won the debate and is even posting polls from weird sites that claim he won 91% to 9%. [ Laughter ] But it makes sense 'cause that's the same poll site that found that 99% of men preferred the middle urinal. [ Laughter ] [ Rimshot ] -Come on, come on. -Of course, everyone's been wondering whether... [ Laughter ] -Come on. -Everyone's been wondering whether Trump would accept Harris's challenge for a second debate, and, today, he said that he won't. -Ooh. -Yeah. Harris wanted a second debate with Trump, while Trump wanted a second debate with Biden. [ Laughter ] And did you see this? Ben and Jerry's just unveiled the new Kamala Harris-inspired ice-cream flavor called Coconut Jubilee. [ Laughter ] I have a feeling Biden has madder about this than the election. He's like, "I love ice cream!" Meanwhile, Trump saw a pint of Chunky Monkey and was like, "Now they're eating monkeys! When -- When does this end? When does this end, you know?" [ Laughter ] Well, Republicans are worried Trump's behavior towards Harris at the debate will hurt him even more with women voters. In fact, one Republican pollster said Trump came across like, "Your first husband's divorce lawyer." [ Laughter ] Well, here to comment is your first husband's divorce lawyer, Frank Klebbin. -I don't care. I don't care. I don't care what you're saying. I don't care. It doesn't matter to me. We are going after her. gym stocks, the Netflix account. We have to send a message. I will call you back. I'm on "Kimmel" right now. Hey, Jimmy. We're not just winning this, we are going to destroy her. -I'm not sure who you're talking about. -That doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you know who I'm talking to. That's what keeps them on their toes. I thrive in chaos. And in the courtroom, that's my stage. Delay, delay, delay. We're getting the potted plants. Every minute we spend talking about your feelings is money in my pants pocket. Let her keep the silverware. We're gonna take the steak knives. Don't tell me you're still in love with her. Do you know what she did? She ate the dog. She ate the cats. She's eating the pets. -I'm sorry. Wait, wait, wait. I'm sorry. What are we -- What are we talking about? -It doesn't matter, as long as I just keep talking. Love is for greeting cards. What matters here is asset liquidation. -I don't follow you. What -- What do you think about being compared to Trump? -Trump? I don't care about Trump! Trump should've hired me! He's in the middle of a bitter divorce from this country, and he's like one of those crazy guys that insists upon representing himself in court! "Oh, Your Honor, in conclusion, I invoke habeas corpus and Kaiser Permanente and Roe versus Dwyane Wade." He's crazy. I'm not. Did you just say the word "compromise"? -No. -Good. 'Cause compromise is for people with something to lose. We will burn down the house before we split one photo album. -Your first husband's divorce lawyer, ladies and gentlemen. Wow. -I said don't call me here. Don't call me here. Don't call me here. -He's immediately back on the phone. Well, switching gears, this is exciting. Today, SpaceX completed the first all-civilian spacewalk. -Ooh. -Yeah. It was pretty cool. Here's a photo of it. Hmm. I don't know if that's a spacewalk or astronaut whac-a-mole. [ Laughter ] Imagine going all the way to space, then finding out the aliens are at the VMAs. [ Laughter ] Well, guys, "Wheel of Fortune" began with new host Ryan Seacrest this week. We like Ryan, and we mentioned this the other night, but to contend with their younger vibe, I think "Jeopardy!" is trying to seem younger and cooler, too. -Really? -Yeah. Just check out some of the categories from tonight's show. Look at -- does this seem odd? First, there's "Thirst Traps of the Renaissance." Then there was "Bussin' Potables." There's also "It's Giving... World History." Next there's "Delulu Dictators." Next, there's "'Mid' Mid-century Architecture." And lastly there's "Thicc First Ladies." I mean, just... [ Laughter ] -Wow. [ Applause ] [ Higgins laughing ] -Guys, uh... Guys, finally, I heard that the $1.1 billion Mega Millions jackpot won six months ago in New Jersey still hasn't been claimed. -Ooh. -It's Jersey, so that leaves two possibilities. Either the ticket's missing or the guy is. We have a great show. Give it up for The Roots! -♪ You play that again and we're back to work ♪ ♪ Got time off, other rappers work ♪ ♪ Due to the fact they wack, so they track ♪ ♪ Gon' have to go back and stack ♪ ♪ They lack the ingredients ♪ ♪♪ -Hey! Guys, quick... -Quick reminder that tomorrow night, Friday the 13th... -Ooh. Is the night that the entire sports world has been waiting for. I challenged DJ Khaled to a golf match. But not just any golf match. This one is four...holes...long. [ Laughter ] And the winner takes home a red cardigan sweater. Of course, I'm talking about the "Cardigan Classic." [ Cheers and applause ] And if you can't wait until tomorrow, here's a sneak peak. -"Cardigan Classic." When Fallon called me out, I had to represent. -This is bigger than anything that's ever been done. DJ Khaled, are you ready for me to just end this right now? -All I do is win. -[ Yells ] [ Cheers and applause ] Tomorrow night, 11:35 on NBC. It's the "Cardigan Classic," where the champions go. [ Cheers and applause ] Where the champ-- That's it's logo? "Where the champions go"? -Yeah, the "Cardigan Classic. Where the champions go." [ Cheers and applause ] What camera was I pointing at? Yeah. -There you go. Try it again. Do it. You got it. Tariq, do you want to just say cardigan? -I do. -Yeah, go for it, Tariq. -The "Cardigan Classic. Where the champions go." -Yeah, that's right! It feels good. You want to say, Higgins? Higgins wants to say, too. -The "Cardigan Classic. Where the champions go." -Yeah, that's good. You guys all want to say it? One, two, three. -The "Cardigan Classic. Where the champions go." -That's what I'm talking about! DJ Khaled and I will see you on the course. -Wow. [ Cheers and applause ] -But first, what a show we have for you tonight. She is an Oscar-winning actor who stars in the new film "The Wild Robot," which is in theaters and IMAX September 27th. Lupita Nyong'o is here. [ Cheers and applause ] We love Lupita. She is a Grammy Award-winning performer who you can see in the new series "The Penguin," which premieres September 19th on HBO and Max. Cristin Milioti is joining us. [ Cheers and applause ] And we got great music from Talib Kweli! [ Cheers and applause ] Talib Kweli and J. Rawls. That's my dude. Guys, I am so sorry if I seem a little scatterbrained. I had a terrible nightmare last night -- or should I say Tonightmare. [ Thunder crashes, woman screams ] I was wandering through a giant warehouse. There were boxes everywhere! But the boxes -- they seemed to be m-moving! I heard a scream. I rushed to the manager's office, and through the window, I saw him being attacked by a humanoid robot! That's when I put two and two together. Every box had a robot, and every robot was going rogue! I-I turned around, a-and one of the robots was right behind me! It picked me up with one hand, and it said -- It said -- It said... ..."Can't wait for Jimmy Fallon's Tonightmares," an immersive haunted maze experience at Rockefeller Center."
