The talk show host kicked off the show by acknowledging the presence of service members from the U.S. military in the audience, generating cheers and applause. Jimmy couldn’t resist cracking a few jokes about his childhood dreams of being in the military and his nickname, Major Disappointment. He also gave a special shout-out to the Navy, Coast Guard, Army, Marines, Air Force, and the first-ever presence of the Space Force in the audience.
As the show continued, Jimmy couldn’t help but share some funny anecdotes and current events. He mentioned how Fleet Week in New York City kicked off with the Parade of Ships and humorously remarked that bartenders would wave a white flag when it ends, signifying exhaustion.
