[ laughter ] you know, we have been talking about donald trump on this show for 18 months and one of the things ive tried to make clear over those 18 months is how i have been wrong about him at every turn. When he first came down the escalator at trump tower and announced i boldly said on this show he was a stunt and he would never really run. I then said he would never win the gop nomination and i certainly didnt think he would be our next president but the good news is based on this pattern of me being wrong on every one of my donald trump predictions hes probably going to be a great [ bleep ] president. [ laughter and applause ] lets just hope the trajectory holds. Anyways i think i was not alone in watching the election last night. My wife and i went to watch the election returns at a friends house and before we left we put our 8monthold son to bed and i was holding him and i said to him when you wake up tomorrow morning we might have our first female president and then when we came home around midnight i went into his room and shook his crib until he woke up and screamed, we have to get out of here [ laughter ] and then my wife pointed out that wasnt productive and she was right. Im willing to admit that she was right. So i recalibrated and i told him that for the first time in our history our president would be a steak salesman. [ laughter ] and that seemed to calm him down. Then we got into bed my wife and i and our dog frisbee, whos a sevenpound italian greyhound, she jumped into bed with us and usually she provides great comfort to us but last night frisbee was skittish because being italian she doesnt know if she gets to stay. [ laughter ] so we had to calm her down too. [ applause ] but i will say this morning i realized how lucky we were because an 8monthold was the perfect age child to have because while my wife and i were sitting at the Kitchen Table solemnly talking about what all of this meant all this meant, he was just happily going to town oa pear. [ light laughter ] we cut up a piece of pear, were discussing the future of the Supreme Court and he was just smiling and eating that pear. And you could tell he was thinking i dont know what you two are talking about, but im with pear. [ light laughter ] but with that said i do really feel for the parents who had to explain this to their kids this morning. Especially parents with daughters because a lot of them like me probably thought hillary would be our first woman president. But she wont be. But that does mean that does mean that someones daughter is out there right now who will one day have that title. [ cheers and applause ] and maybe maybe youre a woman who is currently a senator. Maybe youre still in college. Hopefully, youre not a toddler but who knows with the way things went last night, who knows . The fact is we dont know who you are but i imagine this moment today will be a defining one for you. One that will make you work harder and strive farther and whoever you are i hope i live to see your inauguration and i hope my mom does too. She was really excited yesterday and i was really sad for her. My moms name happens to be hillary. It hasnt always been that. She just changed it to whatever [ light laughter ] whatever democrat is running for president. Its really weird. Had to call her barrack for eight years. But good news to our first woman president whoever you are, where ever you are, you may have been rooting for hillary but now you can still be the first woman president and first is so much better than second. That is the difference between George Washington and john adams. You either end up on money or Paul Giamatti plays you in a movie. [ laughter and applause ] so whoever you are, where ever you are, go get it. I felt a lot of emotions last night and into today. Some sadness. Some anger. Some fear. But im also aware that those are the same emotions a lot of Trump Supporters felt emotions that led them to make their choice and it would be wrong for me to think my emotions are somehow more authentic than their emotions. Were always better as a society when we have empathy for one another so i would just say i would like to say to those trump voters congratulations. I sincerely hope he addresses your concerns. I sincerely hope that if you felt forgotten he wont forget you now. As a white man i also know that any emotions im feeling are likely a fraction of those being felt by the lgbtq community, africanamericans, hispanicamericans, muslimamericans, any number of the immigrant communities so vital to our country so hopefully the Trump Administration and Trump Supporters will be compassionate to them. Because they need your compassion and in general i am hopeful for President Trump because hope is always the best possible path to take and one thing that makes me hopeful is we know from interviews he has given over the years that he has, at any given point, held every position on every issue. [ light laughter ] he has been prochoice, prolife, for the iraq war, against the iraq war. Pretty much his only consistent position has been antirosie odonnell. [ laughter ] so im hopeful that he is not actually a racist and that he just used racist rhetoric to court voters because when youre courting someone youre always willing to pretend youre something youre not. For example, when you first start dating someone youll agree to go apple picking. Youll take cute pictures and maybe when you get home youll bake a pie together but once youre officially a couple, youre not going apple picking anymore. And when they ask you why, you say because, i hate apple picking. I was just pretending i liked it to trick you. And let me make it clear i am in no way trying to say that racism is as bad as apple picking. [ light laughter ] [ applause ] but again i cant stress how wrong ive been about the Trump Campaign just to give you a sense of how wrong, this past june when trump was behind in the polls we made him an offer that if he dropped out nbc would give him a 13episode show where he could play a fictional president. Now, because the show is on nbc, it would have to be called chicago president. [ light laughter ] and we thought he would jump at the opportunity because we thought he might not actually want to be president. Well after last nights results, i just want to say to donald trump, our offer still stands. [ laughter ] come on. [ cheers and applause ] you didnt think you didnt think you were going to win this thing either and im guessing that right now you are spinning out. Youre probably looking at a map of the United States and thinking, wait, how long does this wall have to be . And i cant imagine the people you had to call this morning to say, hey, i guess trump tv is on hold for now. Why . Because i have to be the president. Not to mention the fact that youre going to have to give Rudy Guilliani a job and then hang out with him and i dont have to tell you this, he is bat[ bleep ] crazy. [ laughter and applause ] youll come up with something. Just tell people you have Health Issues and cant do the job because for the last year we have only seen you eating out of bowls and buckets. We will believe that. So we are upping our offer to a 22 episode order and were giving you the coveted 10 00 p. M. Monday slot which means youll be on right after the voice. And this offer stands until inauguration day. Think about it. [ cheers and applause ] now, if your a hillary supporter last night was rough but there are a few good pieces of news. Tammy duckworth, an asianamerican war hero was elected to the senate in illinois. [ cheers and applause ] in minnesota, former refugee, ilhan omar became the first somaliamerican lawmaker in history. And in california [ scattered applause ] yeah. And in california, they legalized recreational weed and not a minute too soon. [ cheers and applause ] plus, legalizing recreational weed in california immediately cured everyone in the state of their glaucoma. [ laughter ] demackracy excuse me, democracy is a fantastic thing even when it doesnt go your way. It gives everyone in america a voice and last night those voices spoke so i want to say to president elect trump. Congratulations to melania and the new first family. Congratulations. And to Vladimir Putin and everyone in russia [ speaking russian ] [ laughter and applause ] in closing, donald trump made a lot of promises as to what hes going to do in the next four years and now we get to see if he will. If he can fulfill them and so i would just like to make one promise to him, we here at late night will be watching you. Well be right back. [ cheers and applause ] surprising moments.

Get out of here [ laughter ] president obama congratulated donald trump in a speech today, and reminded the country that we are all on the same team. Its just that now, half of us are on defense. [ laughter ] [ applause ] president obama has invited donald trump to the white house on thursday, to discuss transition plans and trump is pretty nervous. Hes never been to a black mans house before. [ laughter ] [ audience oohs ] yo house is very nice. Thats how you say it, right . Yo house . [ laughter ] donald trump will reportedly name his chief of staff in the next two weeks. He is looking for someone who can really putin the hours. [ laughter and applause ] apple began selling refurbished iphones in its online store yesterday. Which is good news, for the 40 Million People who smashed their screens last night.

The chef said the Company Started as a joke, then got really scary, but then turned back to a joke again. [ laughter and applause ] and finally a game of thrones author george r. R.
