Time Text
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.
Alaska.
Juneau.
Right.
Alabama.
Montgomery.
Yeah, he knows his thing.
All right.
Idaho.
Hawaii.
He'll know Hawaii.
Hawaii, Honolulu.
Yes, exactly.
What is the capital of Sean?
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.
