[ laughter and applause ] during todays white house meeting, donald trump said he obama replied, yeah, sure, my number is 555 [ laughter ] and thats it. Newt gingrich said in an interview yesterday that would he like to serve as chief planner for Donald Trumps administration. But first, before starting his new job, though, he must finish up his contract at the keebler tree. Bernie sanders told reporters yesterday that he is prepared to work with donald trump. But then he warned trump, i keep the office hot and i dont clean up my pistachios. [ light laughter ] [ scattered applause ] according to new research, with a guided meditation process called erotic hypnosis, it may be possible to experience a touchfree orgasm. Lets try it, said melania. [ laught [ cheers and applause ] a group of Scientists Say they have been able to give paralyzed monkeys back the control of their legs using new implants.

[ light laughter ] [ applause ] and finally, a lot of us, we talked about this last night, a lot of us were shocked, surprised that donald trump won the election. And because of the overwhelming support of a candidate whos been openly racist, misogynist and antigay, many of us are struggling with how to feel right now. So here with a special message, our writers, amber ruffin, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] hi, seth. Seth hi. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey, seth, thank you for letting me come out tonight. Seth of course, any time, amber. I have a special message to all of the white hillary supporters who are feeling disappointed in their fellow americans today.

And we have the slang term wanksgiving. Give it a second. Its not what you think. [ laughter ] heres the definition, when you go home for the holidays and masturbate in your childhood bed.

Our next new slang term is aladdin. This has really taken off with teens. Heres the definition, a guy who gets so high he starts talking to your carpet. [ laughter ] for example, if youre wondering why tyler isnt on the dance floor right now, its because that aladdins upstairs yelling at my moms rug for i would be okay with it if he wasnt completely naked. Hashtag tragic mike. [ laughter and applause ] our last teen slang term is president trump, it means something you cant believe actually happened.

Please welcome back to the show, our friend lester holt. [ cheers and applause ] seth how are you . Im great. Seth im always so happy you make time for us. Obviously, youve already done nightly news tonight. Yeah, its been a slow news week so i thought i would stop by. [ laughter ] nothing really going on. Seth exactly. Nothing filling up your day. So today, obviously im going to guess you were reporting on the fact that donald trump went to the white house and sat down with president obama. Yes. We did a special report today when that happened. Would never see that. And of course, everyone wanted to be a fly on the wall because, well, they are kind of rivals. Seth sure. And they never met before. Yeah, no, they never actually have sat down together. So what happens in those things, typically they have their meeting and then late in the game they bring cameras in for a photo op. Seth yeah. They say a few words and then they kick the reporters out. So we dont really know what happened during the bulk of the meeting. Seth yeah. It could have been dead silence for all we know. [ laughter ] well, donald trump said it was he said he was under the for about 90 minutes. Seth well, you know, thats something. And obviously i think the country is better off if they are communicating. You know, i think it was you know, we ended our broadcast tonight with that image of them because i think the American Public needs to see that. Seth sure. See that, you know, listen, we move forward. Seth and, you know, historically when you look back through time and see other president s having those meetings, it does remind you we are in this together. You know, when its the democrat handing it over to a republican, or vice versa. Its small club. Seth it is a very, v not a lot of people who have done that job. And so, you know, donald trump will understand the weight of the office just like the others learned along the way. Seth another thing that not a lot of people had as a job is moderating a president ial debate. Last time you were here you had just moderated one of the democratic primary debates. Thats right. Thats right. Seth and we were talking about the sort of unique stress involved in moderating a debate. I can only imagine how much farther amped up that stress was for the first president ial debate. How did you find that experience . I should say real quick, i [ cheers and applause ] thank you. Not everyone felt the way you did, by the way. But thank you for that. [ light laughter ] it was you know, when i got the call, there was that wow, im gonna do the first president ial debate. And then about 30 minutes later, im going to do the first president ial debate. [ light laughter ] seth right. Its a lot of pressure. I mean, i had interviewed both of them. I, you know, obviously knew where they were coming from. But you dont know what to expect when you get them out on the stage there. And it is very lonely. Because you are seated there, behind you. You are told theres a hundred Million People are watching but all youre seeing is just the two of them. You have an ear piece. But all youre getting occasionally is just a time check. Seth right. You know, theres 40 minutes left in the debate. So youre kind of on your own and have you no idea really how its going. Seth and the difference, correct me if im wrong, but the difference between the previous one you did and this one, no commercials. No commercials. The previous one, i was with andrea mitchell, so i had a partner, so i could collect my thoughts when she was asking questions and vice versa. It is 90 minutes. And i remember in the desk theres two clocks. There was a clock for the two minutes when they answered the initial question, then there was a time of day clock. And at one point i looked down and it was like, it said 10 09. I remember this. And it felt like a lot of time passed. And i went and i looked and it was 10 10. And im like [ laughter ] its like, time just time begins to stand still, you know. Have you ever had moments like that in your life, where its just eveything seth yeah. And now i kind of wa so well see how that goes. [ cheers and applause ] so again, i want to also credit, you know, covering an election like you did on tuesday night. You had a great team. Youre with chuck and savannah. Yeah. And tom brokaw. Seth tom brokaw. And obviously, i thought you were again, everybody, you have to remain sort of even, even as the results come in. And by even i dont mean nonpartisan, i mean, like things are happening that no one expected and you have to sort of when it started breaking the way that nobody expected . You know, were all reporters. I mean, thats what we do. So we started the night, and i had discussions even before tuesday. I said, you know, when we go out there, this is breaking news. We dont really know how this is going to go. And lets just do what reporters do. We follow the story. And thats what we did. I remember looking over, you know, chuck todd with his hes got his ipads and phones and his little calculator and i remember he is looking at florida at one point and hes like, he gives this look. Whats going on . She cant catch up here. Seth yeah. And that was the first hint that wait a minute, you know, the direction is going in a way that many people didnt anticipate. And we just continued to follow the story to its conclusion. Seth is it exciting for you to be in one of those situations where you kind of have to be at your best because of the fact that the news is breaking in a way that everyone, no matter where they stand politically, wants to have it explained to them quickly. Yeah, i mean, i always try to put myself, no matter what the how would i be watching . What would i want to know . And so there were many points. I said, lets walk through the boards again. Here are the states that are too close to call. Heres where theyre at. Because thats what people really want at that point. Seth yeah. They want how is this going to end . Its a big drama. We didnt finish up until, what was it . I think donald trump spoke around 2 45. Seth yeah. You know, we finished up at 3 30. Seth thats great. Because we wanted to be on live that night and nbc said i dont know if youre gonna be on at 12 30. And we would not have been. I would have been the only one in youdi seth exactly. That would have just been you sitting there. Yeah. [ laughter ] seth so you know, i think you know, were only a couple days into this post election period. A lot of talk about how the media covered it. A lot of talk about how the polling was wrong. Was there an over focus on the polling . Do you think journalism is gonna sort of do a sort of post op as how this went . And if so, is there anything you wish got more coverage . Late night host got it wrong. [ laughter ] seth yeah. We no, you know seth we may have on that. Ive been reading all these articles and you know, obviously we want to go back and look at, you know, what we could have done better. But the fact of the matter is, you know, everyone was you know, there was a surprise. It was different than the polls anticipated. You know, the polls dont make the decisions, we make the decisions. So tuesday, those of us that voted, we went and voted. Seth yeah. And you know what, the system worked, you know . The person with the most so well certainly go back and look. Im really proud of our team. Weve you know, this has been a long, long road. You know, we had a candidate like none other, you know, who really you know, added new dynamic to the race. We had our younger, what we call our road warriors, who are out there covering these stories. Seth they did a fantastic job. And they were just amazing. And it was just energized the place. And you know, tuesday was our super bowl. Seth yeah. And you know, did we you know, did we fumble or did we throw a few interceptions along seth right. The bush gore. And then, you know, 9 11. And the invasion of afghanistan and iraq. And it meant long, long hours in the anchor chair. I mean, 8, 9, 10 hours sometimes. And somebody there nicknamed me iron pants. Which i never knew meant, you know, that i wasnt burning a hole in my pants from sitting there or if it meant that i could go long periods without relieving myself. Seth right, there you go. Somehow. I dont know. [ laughter ] that was and by the way, im they call you aluminum pants. [ applause ] yeah, aluminum. Seth well, i just want to say, thank you for getting us through it all. I thought you did a great job. I thought your team did a great job. You do nbc news proud. And its pleasure to have you. It is fun to stop by. Thanks for having me. Thank you.
