What Would Jack Be?
00:06:38
|
|
| Well, folks, right now I have a guest in studio. | |
| Name is Jack Prager. | |
| Yes, he is related to me. | |
| He is one of my grandsons. | |
| And my... | |
| Yeah, I don't know if he hears the applause. | |
| He doesn't have earphones on. | |
| Did you hear the applause? | |
| You do it? | |
| I hear it from here. | |
| Oh, you do it? | |
| You hear it from here? | |
| Okay. | |
| Jack, how old are you? | |
| I am eight years old. | |
| Eight years old. | |
| So you know what they always ask kids? | |
| At least they did when I was eight years old. | |
| What do you want to be when you grow up? | |
| I want to be a soccer player. | |
| Really? | |
| Yeah. | |
| Very interesting. | |
| I didn't know that would be your answer. | |
| That's how much you love soccer? | |
| Did you think? | |
| I'm sorry? | |
| What did I think you'd answer? | |
| Yeah. | |
| That's a riot. | |
| What did I think he would answer? | |
| I had no idea, to be honest. | |
| I truly had no idea. | |
| But soccer player does surprise me somewhat. | |
| So, Jack, how do you like California? | |
| You live in Florida. | |
| Yeah. | |
| I like it because of Universal and... | |
| Universal Studios. | |
| Because... | |
| I don't really know. | |
| Okay, but you're enjoying your trip. | |
| Yeah. | |
| That's great. | |
| A lot. | |
| Yeah. | |
| And also Joshua Tree. | |
| And now you're going to Joshua Tree, that's right. | |
| Tonight. | |
| Tonight. | |
| Now, where you live, about half the year is really hot. | |
| Do you mind it, or you're used to it? | |
| I don't really care. | |
| Yeah, so you get used to it. | |
| That's nice. | |
| Now, I am told, and I have tested you out on this, that you know the capital of every one of the 50 states. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Really? | |
| There's no question in your mind about that. | |
| I am going to ask you the hardest ones. | |
| Okay. | |
| Because whenever people tell me that they know all 50 capitals, I ask them a certain number that I know almost no one knows. | |
| For example, very few people know the capital of Kentucky. | |
| Frankfurt. | |
| South Carolina. | |
| This is rare. | |
| South Carolina is... | |
| Columbia. | |
| I knew I should wait, and I was right. | |
| Maine. | |
| Augusta. | |
| Missouri. | |
| Jefferson City. | |
| Did you know that, Ellen? | |
| Yeah? | |
| Let's see. | |
| Mississippi. | |
| Jackson. | |
| Washington. | |
| Olympia. | |
| I'm asking the hardest ones I know. | |
| What's left? | |
| What is left? | |
| Oregon? | |
| He'll know Oregon. | |
| What's Oregon? | |
| Salem. | |
| Idaho. | |
| Des Moines. | |
| Well, hello, Idaho. | |
| Des Moines. | |
| That's Iowa. | |
| Wait, Idaho? | |
| Oh, I got confused. | |
| Idaho is... | |
| My brain needs to process. | |
| His brain needs to process. | |
| I'm shocked. | |
| I'm not disappointed by the average. | |
| Tell me that one at the end. | |
| Tell me that one. | |
| I should ask you that at the end. | |
| What was the name you threw out, Ellen? | |
| Did you throw out one? | |
| Oh, you did, yeah. | |
| Sure. | |
| Vermont. | |
| Montpellier. | |
| New Hampshire. | |
| Concord. | |
| I wonder what percentage of Americans know the capitals. | |
| I've got to believe a very small percentage. | |
| What percentage of eight-year-olds? | |
| Well, I'm coming back. | |
| Okay, you got them all except Idaho. | |
| No, you need to tell me that at the... | |
| Yeah, well, look, I'm not going to ask you all 50. Okay, so Idaho is... | |
| When I tell you, you're going to hit your head. | |
| Idaho is... | |
| Because I know you know it. | |
| I mean, I assume. | |
| Idaho. | |
| Do the TikTok, Sean. | |
| Do the TikTok. | |
| Do we have a recording? | |
| We don't have that? | |
| Idaho is... | |
| Alright, it starts with a B. Next letter after B. Just, that's the last one. | |
| Next letter. | |
| I'm sorry. | |
| Alright, Boise. | |
| What's Boise? | |
| Capital of Idaho. | |
| Idaho is... | |
| Oh, he really... | |
| There you go. | |
| I found one. | |
| It's okay. | |
| To know 49 is impressive. | |
| Idaho is Boise? | |
| What? | |
| Yeah, yeah. | |
| Jack is a character, folks. | |
| What's Boise? | |
| I never heard of the... | |
| No, you didn't? | |
| Yeah, B-O-I-S-E. That's exactly right. | |
| I know Boise. | |
| I never remember that. | |
| I do not know what Boise is. | |
| Yes, it's okay. | |
| So 49 is not bad. | |
| No, but you need to tell me more. | |
| I'm not done yet. | |
| Yeah, well, look, I don't know. | |
| Tell me a lot more. | |
| No, I won't. | |
| I'll tell you two. | |
| I'll ask you two more. | |

| Juneau. | |
| Right. | |
| Alabama. | |
| Montgomery. | |
| Yeah, he knows his thing. | |
| All right. | |
| Idaho. | |
| Hawaii. | |
| He'll know Hawaii. | |
| Hawaii, Honolulu. | |

| Oh, you're talking about Cheyenne? | |
| No. | |
| Wyoming. | |
| There you go. | |
| Wyoming Cheyenne. | |
| That's right. | |
| Exactly. | |
| Well, so how would you like to be... | |
| Oh, yes. | |
| You know what? | |
| You asked me, what did I think you would answer about what you want to be when you grow up? | |
| And I said I was surprised you said soccer player. | |
| I tell you what I thought you would have answered. | |
| Talk show host. | |
| Right? | |
| I don't know what you would... | |
| No, no, that's what I thought you would answer. | |
| If I had to guess... | |
| Oh, so you thought I would be a soccer player? | |
| No, I thought you would say talk show host. | |
| Oh. | |
| Because you love to talk into the microphone. | |
