[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: thank you. hey, guys. welcome. welcome to our show. welcome to "late night with jimmy fallon," everybody. some campaign news. some campaign news, in honor of cyber monday, mitt romney's website offered sweatshirts and t-shirts for 40% off. not to be outdone, herman cain offered to take his clothes 100% off. [ laughter ] [ scattered applause ] the herman cain stuff, not good, not good. yesterday, a woman came forward and said she had an affair with cain that lasted 13 years. yeah, 13 years. i don't know who the accuser is, but i'm pretty sure we can rule out kim kardashian. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] i think that's -- if i do the math right, carry the one. and, did you see this? in order to explain his 9-9-9 tax plan, herman cain just

released a short cartoon. unfortunately, today, he was accused of sexual harassment by wilma flintstone. isn't that just -- [ laughter ] i made that up. that's not true. >> steve: what? oh. [ laughter ] whew. >> jimmy: some more election news. a new tv ad is running in iowa, urging sarah palin to rethink her decision and join the presidential race. it gets weird at the end, when a voice says "i'm barack obama, and i approve this message." i get it now. [ cheers and applause ] i see what he did. speaking of obama, the president will attend three fund-raisers in new york city tomorrow to raise money for his reelection campaign. seriously? how about holding a fund-raiser to raise money for the united states. hello? [ cheers and applause ] can i get a what-what? can't even get a what-what anymore.

i was just reading about this. did you hear about this show? tlc is coming out with this new show about adults who are still virgins. [ laughter ] it's a weird show. every time you turn it on, it's over in 30 seconds. you go -- oh. [ laughter ] it's more of a commercial. i just saw this. vice president biden will travel to turkey to speak in an economic summit. when he heard he was giving a speech to turkey, biden was, like, "i am so sorry about thanksgiving." [ laughter ] this is -- [ laughter ] this is cool. an airport in amsterdam has a new vending machine that lets people make banners to welcome their relatives home. yeah, you can tell that it's in amsterdam, because the most popular banner is, "dude, sorry i forgot to pick you up." [ laughter and applause ] where am i? what is this? [ applause ]

and finally, oh, man, did you hear about this? on sunday, chargers kicker nick novak -- did you hear about this? he was caught on tv urinating on the sidelines during san diego's overtime loss to denver, marking the only time fans were really glad a player didn't go for two. [ laughter ] we have a great show tonight. give it up for the roots. ♪ [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: he didn't go for two on that one. we have a fantastic show tonight. a great actor, always interesting guest, we love it when he comes by. jesse eisenberg is here. [ cheers and applause ] he's a great guy. and a nice guy, too. she is the beautiful and talented star of usa's big hit spy show "covert affairs."

piper perabo is dropping by. [ cheers and applause ] she's nice as well. and we got some great music tonight. music from the dodos featuring neko case. coming on together, they're combined. [ applause ] it's a great show, we got a great crowd. oh man, thanks so much for watching. earlier, i mentioned the news about herman cain. you know him, he's one of the republican presidential front-runners. and he used to be the ceo of godfather's pizza. well -- [ laughter ] he's already had two women come forward and accuse him of sexual harassment. then yesterday, he went on cnn and said that another one was going to come out and claim that she and cain had a 13-year extramarital affair. yeah, he's now denying allegations before people even make them. [ laughter ] this is crazy. anyway, we just got word that herman cain is about to do yet another press conference. so, let's see what this one's gonna be about. it's starting right now.

[ cheers and applause ] >> thank you for coming. i'm herman cain, the former and possibly future ceo of godfather's pizza. [ laughter ] and, i'm still in the race. now, yesterday i told y'all that a woman was gonna come forward and claim that she and i had an affair for 13 years. as i said, it's completely baseless and untrue, which is why i got out ahead of the story. [ laughter ] so while i'm at it, there are a few other completely baseless allegations that might come out about old herman cain that i also want to give you just a quick heads-up about. for instance, tomorrow, maybe, another woman might come forward and make more crazy allegations.

like that we met on march 12th, 2004 at 8:37 p.m. that i told her i was herman cain, the ceo of godfather's pizza and i had a piping hot sausage in my pants. [ laughter and applause ] then she'll probably say that i made her do a shot of jagermeister in the parking lot, and then took her to see the movie "finding nemo," and then i cried at the end and said "imagine getting lost in the ocean. that would be so scary." then, took her back to my place and introduced her to a new kind of stimulus package -- [ audience groans ] -- that i call my 69-69-69 plan. [ laughter and applause ] so just to be clear -- thank you. thank you. glad you all believe me. that did not happen. just fyi, for your information, baseless allegations. oh, speaking of fyi. remember that woman that said justin bieber was the father of her baby? yeah, just a quick heads-up.

she might, and i stress might come out and say that it was not justin bieber, but in fact me, herman cain, who is the father of her baby. that i was at the staples center that night. that i was the one who took her to the bathroom and made love to her for 30 seconds or less. [ laughter ] that's definitely baseless. she'll probably even say something ridiculous like that i was wearing a justin bieber wig at the time. [ laughter ] would you believe me, herman cain, if i put on a justin bieber wig? you know, i happen to have one right here. don't ask how i got it. see? see what i'm saying? come on, look at me. [ laughter ] baby, baby, baby, baby. [ cheers and applause ] ridiculous. baseless allegations. another heads-up, another b-t-w. [ light laughter ] in the coming weeks -- in the coming weeks, a man might come forward -- [ laughter ] -- and claim that i told him i

was, quote, "curious," and that i wanted to, quote, "munch on his breadstick and oil up them garlic knots for him." [ laughter ] c'mon -- ridiculous, completely baseless. so, when gary comes forward, remember i gave you the heads-up. [ laughter ] oh, a side note, one last quick fyi. another woman might come forward and claim my name isn't even herman cain. but rather, in fact, i'm dejuan shepard of east rutherford, new jersey, and that herman cain was the name of a businessman i killed in the billiards parlor on a spring break trip to georgia in 1978, and then took over his pizza business on the south side of atlanta. lies. baseless lies. just fyi, completely baseless. in closing, i'm dejuan shepard, herman cain. [ laughter ] i am herman cain. and i'm just happy they don't know about the really bad stuff. [ cheers and applause ]

>> oh, right. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: you told a story many times that made me laugh. >> the one that made you laugh the hardest was the following one. >> jimmy: well, you wrote -- was it a play or movie? >> yeah, actually, i wrote both a play and a movie about woody allen when i was 16 years old, and i sent it to some people, and it went through so many different channels and finally wound up on his lawyer's desk, and they sent me a response in the form of a cease and desist letter. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: kind of cool. >> yeah, it was cool to get a response. [ laughter ] it's not the one i was hoping for, but that was my first kind of brush with writing, and also with the law. [ light laughter ] and this one so far, no lawsuits. >> jimmy: but now you're here. you're at cherry lane theater. can you explain what this play is about? >> yeah, sure. it's about these two guys. this is justin bartha, and this is -- that's me, who i play. and we are roommates, and we think we know a lot about the world. he's getting his ph.d. in black studies. i went to cambodia for two days.

have, like, a handle on class, and race, and culture, and politics. and then this girl, she's from the philippines, she's delivered to us, and has to stay with us for a week, and all of our kind of ignorance and naiveté about the world is uncovered. it's a comedy, though. >> jimmy: yeah, yeah. [ laughter ] it's getting rave reviews, so congratulations on that. >> oh, thank you so much. >> jimmy: i mean, did you ever think you would get this made and on broadway? i mean, this is awesome. >> no, it was so exciting. you know, i write all the time. i never expect, even though i act in things that are popular and you know, in like, kind of sometimes big venues, i never expect the stuff i write to actually get done, so this was a huge honor. >> jimmy: it's a lot of work, huh? >> yeah. yeah, yeah, i guess i thought -- if i thought that it probably would have gotten done, i probably would have worked even harder. [ light laughter ] but i just never expected that anybody would do it, so i kind of just sat around my house typing. >> jimmy: well, people are talking about it. it's got great buzz. and now you're actually gonna take it to the philippines? >> yeah, that wasn't, you know, the initial goal, but -- [ laughter ] it releases straight to the philippines. no, but, you know, the central character is this filipino girl,

and so a lot of people -- i didn't even realize this, but of course in retrospect it makes sense. a lot of people from the philippines are interested in the play, and so they offered us to do it in like, 2013. that's been the most exciting thing to come of this, is that we all get to go there. >> jimmy: so you go there, and then what do you do? do you do it for, like, a week or one night only? >> yeah, like a week and a half show. >> jimmy: is that right? how exciting. >> it's thrilling, yeah. >> jimmy: and who is this girl that's starring in it? >> oh, her name is camille mana. she's phenomenal. >> jimmy: camille mana, she's getting a lot of the buzz off of this, too, as well as you are. but she -- i've never heard of her before. >> yeah, she's phenomenal. i found her reel online, which is just a collection of scenes from other things, that they've been in. a lot of actors have, like, they put together a collection of scenes. >> jimmy: so you didn't do an audition? >> no, no as an actor, i cannot think about putting other actors through the audition process, so i wrote the part for the two other guys. this is remy auberjonois and justin, i've known for years, and i wrote the parts for them. and for her, i just couldn't bring myself to, like, hold auditions 'cause it's such a painful, like, process. >> jimmy: it is the worst. i never liked an audition. i never felt great about an

audition. even when i got the part, it's like, "can you burn that audition?" i don't want anyone ever seeing that. >> and the movie that we make from the audition. >> jimmy: completely.
