Trump Gets Muted Mics in Debate, Coin Toss Will Determine Last Words | The Tonight Show

Welcome, welcome, welcome to "The Tonight Show." You're here! You're watching! Thank you for watching! You guys, I'm very excited about this. Kevin Hart is on the show tonight! [ Cheers and applause ] I love Kevin, seriously. What better way to kick off Halloween season than with a fun-size guest? Isn't that... [ Applause ] Speaking of kickoffs, the NFL season began tonight with the back-to-back Super Bowl champion, Kansas City Chiefs, taking on the Baltimore Ravens. Yep, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is going for his fourth Super Bowl. Yeah, his backup is on the bench feeling forgotten. Then Kamala Harris is like, "Hey, you never know when you're gonna get the call, so just hang in there. It's -- You never know. You never know." What's great about tonight is whether you're a Chiefs fan or Ravens fan or a football fan in general, everyone will come together and call in sick to work tomorrow. So that's all... [ Applause ] That's right. Tonight's Chiefs-Ravens game was a great matchup, and a certain global superstar singer was in the crowd. Here's what the players had to say about it. First, Jawaan Taylor said... And then Drue Tranquill said... Then Mecole Hardman said... [ Laughter ] [ Cheers and applause ] Then Ronnie Stanley said... Then Zay Flowers said... And then Creed Humphrey said... And finally, Patrick Mahomes said... Interesting quotes. Just -- That's just quotes from tonight. [ Applause ] Well, get this. I saw that "The Wall Street Journal" said the New York Jets could win it all this year. -Wow. -Wow! That is huge, coming from the ultimate football authority, "The Wall Street Journal." [ Laughter ] And listen to this. I heard that during all NFL games this season, Applebee's will offer 50-cent boneless wings and a bucket of cocktails. [ Cheers and applause ] That explains their new slogan... [ Laughter ] Cocktails served in a bucket? Yeah, it's for everyone who thought the Dollarita was a little too classy. Well, switching gears to some political news. ABC just released the format and rules for next week's debate between Vice President Harris and former President Trump. They flipped a coin that would determine who would speak last, and Trump won the coin flip. Or, as Trump put it... [as Trump] "I won the debate. Just one flip. I knew it!" Yep, ABC will air the Trump/Harris debate, while Fox News will just re-air the one with Biden. [ Laughter ] Well, get this. A new study revealed that Saturday at 10:09 p.m. is the time that most people around the world are having sex. Yep. [ Laughter ] Some scientists cure diseases. Others do this study. [ Laughter ] And, finally, a man in Michigan won a competition for chugging 24 ounces of ranch in 10 seconds. Meanwhile, everyone in America who watched tonight's game was like, "That's all?"

I'm a -- I'm a little tired. -Really?! I didn't get much sleep last night. I had another nightmare. Or should I say a Tonightmare? [ Thunder crashes, woman screams ] I was all alone, lying on the cold floor. It was dark, and all I could smell was the dank odor of cleaning supplies. That's when I realized I was locked in an old supply closet. As my eyes started to adjust to the dimly lit room, I-I saw it r-right there in the corner! A serial killer is trying to hashtag the panda! Nah! I tried to get out, but the door wouldn't budge! I screamed for help, but all I could hear was heavy breathing behind me! I turned to look, and it was the killer! She had a giant knife and she said I was next.
