7:32 pm
offer extra shots to the general public starting next week, but some health experts, including a few from the fda, are pushing back against this plan they argue boosters aren't really needed for most people. some americans are not waiting recent polls show anywhere from 4 to 16% of vaccinated americans say they've already gotten a booster. it's worth noting third doses have been approved already for people with compromised immune systems. cnbc's meg tirrell covers science for us i'm told this meeting could be a tense one. >> reporter: shep, it absolutely could be the discussion the fda advisers are having tomorrow centers around whether a third dose of pfizer's vaccine is safe and effective against covid. but there's a whole lot more brewing there, including the broader question of whether booster shots are needed in general. we know both regularity laters within the fda as well as outside advisers don't believe they are that question comes down to whether protection from the

7:34 pm
how many, overall, are expected to get them if approved? >> polling shows a majority of people vaccinated do plan to get a booster shot if recommended. we worked with dynata. 80% say it's important to stick with the same brand they got the first time this is likely twhat will be recommended until there's data on switching brands. some people do want to switch. mostly people who got the j&j vaccine the first time around. polls shows people who got j&j want a different brand for their boost versus 4% of those who got moderna or pfizer. we'll have to wait for more data for that to be recommended shep >> thank you. new and urgent warning in idaho tonight. health officials telling doctors and nurses statewide to ration health care because of a massive

convert all that energy in that rocket fuel, that chemical energy, you have to convert that into speed, into velocity to get into orbit now you're only halfway done you have to take all that energy you put in and take it all back up to end up sitting still in the middle of the ocean. coming home, entry is just as difficult from an engineering perspective, as launch is. >> i met these four a few months ago. they were over-the-moon excited. frankly i walked away there thinking i wonder if it will live up to their expectations, because theirs were sky high. >> boy, i sure hope it does. i don't want any buyer's remorse. we want more people to buy tickets. i think they will not be disa disappointed by the views. they will not be disappointed by how fun it is to be in zero gravity. they might for the past 24 hours be a little disappointed because usually you don't feel great for the first day or so, but by the time now they're in day number
7:48 pm
two, i think they're probably getting over that and are probably starting to feel good about themselves. >> garret reisman, great for you to be here thank you so much. >> my pleasure, shepard. >> for those of you who prefer gravity and wheels, the long wait is almost over. new season of "jay leno's garage" less than a week away. the legend himself joins us right now in that little garage. why jay says this season is more reved up than ever. just don't let this guy anywhere near anything in that garage a moose runs into traffic and charges into a car charges into a car the damage estimate next they wanted it fixed fast. they drove to safelite autoglass for a guaranteed, same-day, in-shop repair. we repaired the chip before it and with their insurance, it was no cost to them. >> woman: really? >> tech: that's service you can trust, when you need it most. ♪ pop rock music ♪

plug time. the sixth season of "jay leno's garage" premiers next week on cnbc, comedian jim carrey making an appearance in a crazy game of car soccer look at this ♪ >> i'll be representing the orange team in car number nine drew is on the losing blue team in car number one. we'll be doing best of five or the last car running wins. >> this is real soccer, son. may the best japanese car win. >> another season, another star-studded lineup for jay's show tiffany haddish, kelly clarkson, ashton kutcher, and there will be more. jay leno is here, live from his
7:52 pm
garage large soccer ball is filled with propane but it looks like your hair didn't frazzle there. >> it's a propane tank it's not filled with propane we're not that stupid. please. >> go on. >> i was enjoying your piece on the latino entrepreneurs it reminded me when i was a kid, my grandfather had a clipping he would save from the 1920s about toomey talians coming to america and some senator said if italians continue to come to america at this rate in 50 years our children will all be eating pizza for dinner i thought that was the greatest thing ever. >> i hear you spent time with jay cordon any car pool karaoke >> no, we didn't surprisingly he had a dream car, jaguar, so we tracked one down. that's kind of what the show is. we try to find the car maybe you had your first kiss in, maybe why your dad took you for ice cream. whatever it might be
7:53 pm
it's not so much the technical aspects of the automobile but the social implications. how did it change your life? what was it like first time you got to drive it, where did you go everybody has some kind of car story. celebrities open up right away. >> sixth season, familiar faces and, i hear, some new ones who have you got >> ashton kutcher, you mentioned seba sebastian, kevin bacon is on. >> sebastian is hilarious. >> rick ross you know, it's really fun. i find once you take politics out of the mix, everybody gets along pretty good. people from all different walks of life. as long as you're not discussing poli politics remember how nice thanksgiving dinners used to be it's like that you don't bring up politics, people hit it off like a house on fire. >> do you get involved in this -- are you just reading the words and letting the production crew do this, or are you into this production? >> well, there's no written
7:54 pm
words. it's all ad lib. we really don't know what we're going to say or talk about i just promise the celebrities i'm not interested in their career or personal life. thank you. and oh, right away, then all the nervousness drops and they know you're just there to have fun and have a good time celebrities are calling us, saying i would like to be on the show saw jerry seinfeld on. looked like he had a good time in fact, i am thinking of someone i would like to have on the program. >> i'm down. i have a tesla i'll bring out th there. it will be boring to you but i like it. >> no, i've got -- >> i wanted to ask you about the bolt. >> about the what? >> the chevy bolt. they're telling people to park 50 feet away from another car. they're worried it's going to catch on fire. is this a setback for ev >> i don't know if it's a setback for ev i don't know how many have actually caught fire when you look at how many gasoline car fires there have
7:55 pm
been, you sort of take it for granted. cars go through an intersection, hit and the cars explode and the fire department shows up i think it's less. the advantage, if there is one through an ev fire is it doesn't blow up. you're in it, smell something, there's smoke and then it catches -- it doesn't go off in a ball the way a gasoline car would. that's not to say it's not dangerous and, hopefully, they'll fix the problem. i mean, tesla sells over half a million cars a year. and they think there was two fi fires or something in that time. you don't really know the circumstances. so, you know, the last days of old technology are always better than the first days of new technology but we're beyond the first days of new technology. i mean, the electric car is here to stay. i predict a child born today will probably drive a gasoline powered car about as often as you would drive in a car with a stick shift now. they'll still be around but not

that prevalent. >> i wanted to ask you about the late, great norm macdonald i know he was on your show and wondered if you had any thoughts. >> he was a great friend i used to call him the bob dillon of comedy he was a lyrist. everybody else had jokes but he had funny expressions. he used words nobody else -- i remember he would say, hey, jay, ever see those wiener dogs every time he said wiener, you just laughed because he said it in such an unusual way he had a different kind of phaseiology. truly one of the most underrated performers of all time i remember don omeyer coming down to nbc and say tell your friend, norm macdonald, to stop doing those oj jokes i think that's what doomed him he got fired from "saturday night live" for constantly pounding on oj and he was a friend of his, you saw what happened there. >> that didn't end well. jay, i'm going to take you up.
7:57 pm
>> one of the great comics. >> i'll come out and visit for sure you get to ride with jay leno who turns that down? >> love to have you on the show. >> all right jay leno, we'll be watching jay leno's garage next wednesday night, 10:00 eastern, cnbc. we've got a moose on the loose in worcester, mass. >> jesus. >> oh! >> good grief.
