Trump Pushes Pet-Eating Immigrant Conspiracy at Debate, Taylor Swift Endorses Harris | Tonight Show

-Enjoy yourselves. Welcome, everybody. Welcome, welcome, welcome to "The Tonight Show." You are here. Thank you for watching at home. [ Cheers and applause ] Well, guys, everyone's talking about last night's debate between Vice President Harris and former president Trump. And it seems like most people agree it was a tough night for Trump. Yeah. We haven't seen a debate performance that bad since, well, the last debate. [ Laughter ] [ Cheers and applause ] Afterward, Trump asked how he did with his undecided voters, and his staff said, "Well, they're not undecided anymore." [ Laughter ] [ Cheers and applause ] Yeah, it wasn't Trump's best night. About an hour into the debate, even Vladimir Putin was like, "Uh, let's see what's on 'Nyetflix.'" "Nyetflix." -Yeah. [ Rimshot ] -Thank you. This morning, Trump said the debate was rigged and that ABC should be shut down for fact-checking him, but that he still thought he did great. [ Laughter ] Then ABC fact-checked him again and said, "You did not." [ Laughter ] "Sorry to keep doing this. You did not do great." [ Cheers and applause ] Yeah, everyone thought Harris seemed really prepared, while Trump was like, "My homework was eaten by a dog that was eaten by people in Ohio." [ Laughter, cheers, applause ] "That's..." That excuse again? There were so many wild moments last night, but the craziest was when Trump pushed a baseless conspiracy theory about immigrants in Ohio. Take a look at this. -In Springfield, they're eating the dogs, the people that came in, they're eating the cats. They're eating -- They're eating the pets of the people that live there. [ Laughter ] -It looks like Operation: I'm Not Weird isn't going well. I mean, it was... What? Of course, last night's debate was especially important for undecided voters because they could determine the election. We actually got in a room with one of those undecided voters and got some real-time feedback, and it was fascinating to see which issues really hit home for them. Watch this. -So just turn the dial to the left as you lose interest and turn it to the right when you hear an issue that really matters to you. Got it? -If you can come up with a plan that's gonna cost less money and be better healthcare than Obamacare, then I would absolutely do it. -Donald Trump left us the worst unemployment since the Great Depression. -In Springfield, they're eating the dogs, they're eating pets. -[ Barking loudly ] -I mean, he really -- That guy was. "Enough!" [ Cheers and applause ] Big issue. [ Both laugh ] Meanwhile, another moment people are talking about is when Trump was asked whether he has a plan to replace Obamacare. Listen to this. -So just a yes or no -- you still do not have a plan? -I have concepts of a plan. [ Laughter ] -This would be the part of the "Shark Tank" episode where all the Sharks say, "And for that reason, I'm out." [ Laughter ] Well, here to offer some insight on what the former president meant by "concepts of a plan" is Trump policy adviser Ben Flanagan. Ben, what exactly did Trump mean? -Look, Trump meant exactly what he said. He has concepts of a plan that have emerged from both his pre-plan planning and his post-pre-plan conceptualization. [ Laughter ] -Okay. And what are those concepts? -Okay, not so fast, Jimmy. Once he's settled on a concept of a plan, he'll need to plan out that concept. And that plan will dovetail into the ideation of a proposal for an intention. [ Laughter ] -And that intention is...? -To propose a plan concept. -I just feel like people are gonna want to know what the actual plan is. -And you'll know that as soon as the concept for the plan has been both devised and formulated. -But there's still nothing concrete. -Wrong. It's literally engraved in concrete at our campaign headquarters. Take a look. "Think about the possibility of considering the proposition to imagine an outline for a theoretical suggestion of an aspiration." -Right, right. But what would the plan be? -Plan B? That's actually a great name for the plan! -All right. Well, thanks. That's more than enough. Thank you. Ben Flanagan, everybody. I'm confused. Thank you, Ben, thank you. -Plan B. Plan B! -Oh, and if Kamala Harris's night wasn't good enough, after the debate ended, she received an endorsement on Instagram from Taylor Swift. -Whoa! [ Cheers and applause ] Here it is. Yeah. Trump was like, "See? She's eating her cat!" [ Laughter ] "Everyone's..." But everyone's talking about how she signed it. Look how she signed it -- "Taylor Swift, Childless Cat Lady." [ Laughter, cheers, applause ] And Taylor -- And Taylor looked at Travis and said, "Now that's how you spike the ball." Yeah. [ Laughter ] Switching gears, I heard that HBO is making a new "Harry Potter" TV series, and right now, they're casting kids to play Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Yep, a "Harry Potter" TV series. Yeah, it's called "Harry Potter and the Lack of New Ideas." [ Laughter, audience groans ] Kids? Kids playing Harry, Ron, and Hermione? What would that be like? [ Laughter ] Been there-ius, done that-icus. [ Laughter ] Did you guys see this? I read that a Carnival Cruise ship recently had a close call after it grazed an iceberg. -Ooh. -The ship is fine, but the iceberg has chronic diarrhea. [ Laughter ] Well, get this. I saw that a man in Idaho broke a world record by punching 327 balloons in one minute. Then Trump broke that record at his post-debate party. [ Laughter and applause ] Oh, finally, guys, I want to remind you that my children's book, "Five More Sleeps Till Halloween" is out now. And it is the heartwarming story of a boy and his dog who are excited for Halloween that they can't sleep. It's available wherever books are sold. It's "Five More Sleeps Till Halloween."

[ Laughter, cheers, applause ] Friday night, NBC. People are saying -- -They're saying it's the same level. -People say it's like the same level. -I heard it's better. -People are getting their cardigans out. -Right. -Even if they don't have them, they're borrowing from their grandmas, grandpas. They're going out to -- -Going to Lane Bryant, getting a new cardigan. -They're going to Lane Bryant. They're going everywhere. They're going to a -- -Pottery Barn? -No, what's the other "Barn"?

Right now. If you go out, if you look out the window, on the street... -Right. -...kids walking around, crocheting, making cardigans. [ Laughter ] Anyways, it's super fun. It's an hour, and it's -- it's -- it's just ridiculous. And, gosh, I love DJ Khaled. He's unbelievable. But you know what? Someone's gotta win, someone's gotta lose. -Oh. -So, yeah, Khaled, I'm gonna bring the boom! [ Cheers and applause ] Guys, I'm sorry if I seem a little off. I can't stop thinking about this nightmare I had last night. Or should I say "tonightmare." [ Thunder crashes, woman screams ] There I was, walking through an abandoned subway tunnel. I look both ways, but I couldn't see the light at either end. The tunnel went on forever. That's when I saw it -- an old, rusty subway car sitting on the tracks. I was afraid to get too close, but the only way out was through it. I took one step inside, and a creature that looked like it had been trapped underground its entire life lunged right at me! It tackled me to the ground and said -- and it said -- Well, it said, "I can't wait for Jimmy Fallon's Tonightmares, an immersive haunted-maze experience at Rockefeller Center. It's open September 20th through Halloween, and tickets are available now at JimmyFallonsTonightmares.com. Scary? Very. Fun? A ton. Now stick around. We'll be right back with -- Aah! [ Smooth jazz plays ] -Stick around. We're talking to Kathryn Hahn after the break.
