| 0:02.4 | He tells you why. |
| 0:03.8 | Mark Simone is on 710 WOR. |
| 0:09.4 | Hey, Jimmy Phala does a great show here every night, 9 to midnight on 710 WOR. |
| 0:16.7 | 9 to midnight. |
| 0:17.5 | It's interesting, funny, and he also does the best late night show in television. |
| 0:23.5 | Saturday nights at 10 on the Fox News Channel. President Trump tweeting out he's a big fan of that show. |
| 0:29.3 | It's the best monologue in TV. And he's with us now. Jimmy Fela, how you doing? |
| 0:35.1 | Good. I got a lot of pressure this weekend because the whole cabinet is going to be watching my show on the way back from China. Yeah, because you think about that.

| 1:39.7 | I went to Johnny Carson's boyhood home in Norfolk, Nebraska, and tried to soak up a little bit of that |
| 1:45.1 | vibe, because I think if you've been watching this Colbert victory lap this week, which is my |
| 1:50.3 | favorite thing in the world, you know when a team wins the Super Bowl, they dump the Gatorade |
