[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: thank you, guys. thank you, everybody. i feel the love. welcome to "late night with jimmy fallon," everybody. [ cheers and applause ] we have a big show. fun show tonight. here's what people are talking about. yesterday, lindsay lohan was arrested here in new york after she hit a pedestrian's leg and then left the scene of the accident. amanda bynes was like, "you just couldn't let someone else have the spotlight, could you? [ laughter ] just for two days! you just couldn't let someone else --" here's some election news. during a fundraiser with jay-z last night, president obama said that he and the rapper have a lot in common because their wives are more popular than they are. [ laughter ] while jay-z said they have a lot in common 'cause neither of one

of them has a plan to fix the economy. [ laughter ] that's what he said. watch -- watch the throne. watch it. >> watch it. >> jimmy: watch the throne, you guys. during that same fundraiser, president obama said beyonce is the best role model for his daughters. which is why later that night, michelle said that the couch was the best place for obama to sleep. [ laughter ] forgetting about someone? here's some more campaign news. in a new interview, mitt romney's said that "modern family" is his favorite tv show. yeah. [ light laughter ] he said he especially loves the two guys raising that little girl while they wait for the perfect wives to come along. he loves that -- [ laughter ] [ as romney ] "i don't know what the deal is with cam and mitchell. they seem like best friends why just can't seem to find the right gal." [ laughter ] in that same interview, romney said he doesn't watch "keeping up with the kardashians." no. because if romney wanted to see rich people say dumb things on

camera, he could just watch himself in that video from the fundraiser again. [ laughter ] he's got that covered. he can do that. he's got that covered. [ applause ] this is kind of cool. a new report predicts that 75% of cars will be self-driving by the year 2040. or as lindsay lohan calls that, "too late." [ laughter ] too late, man. come on. this is interesting. researchers have discovered new evidence that suggests jesus had a wife. so now we know that when he walked on water, there was at least one person who still wasn't impressed. [ laughter ] you know -- "that's great. you gonna put up those shelves like we talked about, carpenter?" "maybe i should turn this meatloaf into something i can eat!" [ laughter ] and finally, honey boo-boo's family apparently -- [ laughter ] honey boo-boo's family apparently wants to make $10,000 an episode for season two. tlc was like, "that is a lot of

bacon." then the family was like, -- [ in southern accent ] "we can get paid in bacon?" [ laughter ] we have a great show tonight. give it up for the roots, you guys! ♪ [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: we have a big show tonight, you guys. she is one of the funniest people i know. from the nbc comedy "up all night," maya rudolph is here!

i gotta say this is probably my favorite band out there right now. these guys are so talented. i'm talking banjos, bass drums -- what do you call those things? >> cellos >> jimmy: yeah, it's like a cello, there. yeah, yeah, cellos are there. i was just gonna say giant violin. [ laughter ] if you guys -- if you like talented musicians, harmony and good music, the avett brothers are here tonight! [ cheers and applause ] they're gonna blow your pants off, it's so good. great show. you guys, i noticed this this trend on facebook where people post an image of an inspiring quote on their wall for everyone to see. the quote is usually like by someone famous, like an actor or politician or a historical figure. i love reading them but sometimes i'll read one and think, "did they really say that?" and it can be hard to tell 'cause no one checks these quotes to see if they're real or not. i'll show you guys what i'm talking about in this next segment called, "don't quote me." ♪ ♪ don't quote me

'cause i'm ♪ >> jimmy: i saw this first quote on someone's facebook wall last week. it's from the sexy 1930s film actress mae west. she said, "you only live once but if you do it right, once is enough." that's a good way to approach life. here's another one from mae west. "#yolo!" [ laughter ] see? that's what i'm talking about. she passed away in 1980. i don't think she said that but i -- i could be wrong. our next quote is from kurt vonnegut, a famous american author. he said, "true terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class is running the country." that's true. [ light laughter ] that is scary. >> "that guy's in charge?" >> jimmy: here's another one from mr. vonnegut. he said, "you know what else is scary? when someone tries to murder you. that's pretty scary." [ laughter ] true as well. hard to get much scarier than that. i'm not sure he said that, though. our next quote is from one of my favorite tv characters, spock. yeah.

familiar with spock? [ cheers and applause ] he said, "change is the essential process of all of existence." that sounds like something he would say. >> yeah. >> jimmy: but here's another one from spock. "if the enterprise is a rockin' don't come a knockin' 'cause i'm probably spockin' in my sockin'." >> what? [ laughter and applause ] what does that mean? >> jimmy: i dunno. he's quite the rhymer. it's not a shock since his name is spock. [ laughter ] here's a quote from chris christie. he's my man. he's the best. he says, "tonight, we're gonna do what my mother taught me. tonight, we're gonna choose respect over love." i love that quote. that sounds like something a mom would say. here's another one from chris christie. "and then, we're gonna hit up sizzler's and get medieval on that steak and unlimited shrimp plate, y'all!" [ cheers and applause ] hard to resist some steak and shrimp. >> [ as christie ] "what do you mean you're outta shrimp?!" >> jimmy: here's a quote from a guy who needs no introduction, albert einstein. he said, "imagination is more

important than knowledge." such a wise man. let's check out another einstein quote. "i always thought it would be funny to put sunglasses on a bunch of ducks and then put them into remote control cars and drive them around. i mean, imagine that. people are sitting around in a cafe and all of a sudden, you see these ducks with sunglasses flying in little cars. 'quack, quack, quack, coming through!' ha ha, man, that'd be the best. oh, i just thought of something. 'e' equals mc squared." [ laughter and applause ] i always wondered how he came up with it. >> that's it. >> jimmy: that's good to have that back story. here's a quote from kim kardashian. [ audience groans ] she said, "i buy myself a gift every year. so this year, i bought everything i wanted." she definitely said that. and here's -- here's a quote from regular people. "go away." [ cheers and applause ] >> that is rude. >> jimmy: that's a rude thing to say that is not -- yeah. this next quote is from one of my favorite singers, lionel richie. he said, "marriage comes with a great deal of responsibility."

that's so true. and here's another one from lionel richie. "sometimes, when i look in the mirror, i'm like, 'whoa, that's lionel richie!' and then, i'm like, 'hey, wait a minute, i'm lionel richie! outrageous!'" [ applause ] i bet that happens to him a lot. >> yeah >> jimmy: this next quote is from mitt romney. he said, "there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent on government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has the responsibility to care for them. who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing to you- name-it. my job is not to worry about those people." unfortunately, he said that. [ light laughter ] here's another romney quote. "wait, no one's recording this, right?" [ laughter ] i bet he wished he said that. yeah -- [ applause ] this next quote is from president barack obama when someone asked him about the white house's beer recipe. he said, "it will be out soon. i can tell from firsthand experience it is tasty." i'm sure it is. i'm gonna have to try that. here's another obama quote.

[ slurring ] "no, seriously, you guys, it's so good. it's about as good as pizza! we should order a pizza, man. call little caesar's! 'pizza, pizza.' ha ha ha. seriously, though, you guys are my best friends." [ laughter and applause ] >> one beer. >> jimmy: hammered. hammered. we're down to our last quotes. they are from bill clinton. he said, "so here's another job score -- president obama, plus 4.5 million. congressional republicans, zero." i definitely remember him saying that when he spoke at the dnc. here's clinton again. "here's another number. 723. that's my room at the four seasons." [ laughter ] i don't think he said that. you never know. that's all the time we have for "don't quote me." stick around, everybody. we'll be back with more "late night."
