From studio 60 in Rock'n'Roller Center in the heart of New York City, Mr. Comet Joe, starring Gilly's Mountain. And I go and give you this chance. I'll give a go in. Alan Ferrell, secret, fee, legendary, room, room. 23,000, seven, key and now. Here he is. Give me five. Here he is. Here he is. Here he is. Here he is. Come on, man. Come on. Come on, man. Come on. Come on. Come on. That's great. Yeah, right there, yo.
Thank you very much. You're welcome, everybody. Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Tonight Show. This is it. Thank you very much for watching. Well, guys, tonight the 2026 NFL season officially kicked off with the Raining Super Bowl champion, Seattle Seahawks, hosting the New England Patriots. Tonight it was the New England Patriots versus the Seattle Seahawks, or as it'll soon be called the American Patriots versus the Seattle Americans. Taking place in America, stadium. Yeah, the NFL season officially kicked off tonight with a Super Bowl rematch between the Seahawks and the Patriots. The players are fired up about the new season. Check out what they had to say. First up, Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnal said, I can't wait to defend our title of the season. Go team. Then Elijah Veritucker from the Patriots said, Did somebody say go team? Sorry. I'm just going to be talking about me. Anyway, we're going to beat these punchable geeks.
And Milton Williams from the Patriots said, Did somebody say pinchable cheeks? Sorry. I'm just going to hit. Then Jerry Samosal from the Patriots said, Did somebody say the gummy just hit? Anyway, I used the bench press to get uber jacked. Then next, Nick Collar from the Seahawks said, Did somebody say depressed lumberjack? Anyway, we just rock. It's also apparent. And Mac Hollins from the Patriots said, Did somebody say just walked in on your parents? Anyway, we're going to absolutely destroy with our powerful game. And Morgan Moses from the Patriots said, Did somebody say absolutely destroy a shower drain? Anyway, does my team help me beat every hurdle? I'm not a tech and Brian Murphy from the Seahawks said, Did somebody say desperately need a turtle neck? Anyway, I study film. I'm not just huge and dumb.
And Robert Spillane from the Patriots said, Did somebody say human thumb? Anyway, I'm the busiest one. Hunt them, pardon them, and attack. And Brady Russell from the Seahawks said, Did somebody say business upfront party in the back? Anyway, I'm a veteran on the team, not a baby. And Hunter Henry from the Patriots said, Did somebody say, Temu Tom Brady? Anyway, I've never felt better. No cap on blessed. And Abraham Lucas from the Seahawks said, Did somebody say never known happiness? Anyway, it's time to man up because we're on our own. Then Gray's Abel from the Seahawks said, Did somebody say grown up buzz from home alone? Anyway, I'm invested. No stops for life. Then Brendan Schuhler from the Patriots said, Did somebody say arrested on cops four times? Anyway, we got this rock and roll. And finally, Patriots legend Rob Ronkowski said, Did somebody say grunk, get ball? Yeah. You got it?
Yes. You were having a hard time hearing. Everyone was excited that football was back. There's so many great teams, I can see it can be kind of hard to keep some of their logos straight. Oh, I can help you out, Jimmy. Oh, really? Oh, thank you, sir. No problem. Hit it, roots. The Broncos have a... Broncos? The Bears have a... Bear. The Vikings have a... Viking with really long hair. The Dolphins have a... Dolphins? The Lions have a... Lion. The Eagles have an eagle. Who's ready to start flying? And what about the Steelers? Oh, it's just like a... You know, hey, let's come back to that. The Ravens have a... Raven. The Panthers have a... Panther. The Falcons have a... Falcon. Yep, that's the right answer. But what about the Steelers? It's like three pointy things in a circle or something. Leave me alone. I don't know what their logo is. They're... They're come down. If you had to guess what the Steelers logo was, what would you say?
I mean, I'd assume it's three hypocycloids representing coal or in scrap. The three primary components used to make steel. That's exactly right. The NFL's back. Let's make some noise. Because the Steelers logo has hypocycloids. Thank you so much. All right. I'm looking up. That's great. I ain't got it. I didn't know what they were. Yeah. Well, switching gears to some political news today, Republicans arrived in Dallas for a two-day midterm convention. The convention has been dubbed Trump a Paloza and Trump spoke at the event. And the big question was whether Trump would show up as a Bucks' Blonde or a Bucks' Brunette. But get this... Trump's flight to the midterm convention was halted as the emergency slide and Air Force One, Cattari Jet was deployed. Take a look at this. This is real. Hmm. Yeah.
Once again, Trump is causing more inflation. Some more political news. Trump's trade war with Canada continues to heat up as Canada just put tariffs on $20 billion worth of US goods, including wood products and cheese. Wood and cheese. That's the main ingredients to Papa John's pizza. Trump responded immediately by announcing bands on several Canadian goods, including alcohol, golf carts, mopeds, and motorcycles. Basically, that's the main ingredients to a jackass movie. Yeah, Trump banned Canadian beer, wine, brandy, whiskey, rum, gin, and vodka. Teachers are like, well, there goes our school supplies. And listen, this just came out that last Christmas Trump gave his assistant Natalie Harp $45,000 in cash. Wow. It was going to give her an even $50,000, but he was worried people might think something strange is going on.
You guys have been, uh, you guys see in this one, a Vladimir Putin's new officials is going viral? Did you see? Well, because I'll just take a look at it. Oh. She. Can I see him again? He looks like the star of Russia's live-action family guy. Meanwhile, the patrons are like, you're hired. Wow, you're like, you guys, it's officially back to school time. Right now, a lot of college kids are meeting their freshmen roommates for the first time. And there's some signs on whether you have a good college roommate or a bad one. We have some examples right here. For instance, you have a good college roommate if they bought a mini fridge. You have a bad college roommate if it's just filled with jars marked clean urine. Do you want to meet? No, that's not good. Next up, you have a good college roommate if you're woken up by the gentle sound of their alarm. You have a bad college roommate if you're woken up by a gentle kiss on your forehead. I'm actually of a good college roommate if they have good personal hygiene.
You have a bad college roommate if their shower caddy is just a paper bag with a wet nap. And finally, you have a good college roommate if they watch their sheets once a week. You have a bad college roommate if you turn on the black light and their bed looks like day 10 of a carnival fruit. That's how you know. We have a great show tonight. Matthew McConaughey is my guest. I know. He stars in the new show, Brothers with Woody Harrelson. But what's really interesting is that the show is based on a conspiracy that Matthew and Woody are in fact half-brothers in real life. Have you guys heard this? I mean, it's just one of those crazy internet things. It's completely far-fetched and has no basis in reality. Until you look into it. You see, Matthew McConaughey's mother recently revealed that she quote unquote, new Woody's father back in the late 60s. But when did she know him? Nine months before Matthew was born.
Oh, but Jimmy, wasn't Matthew's mom married to his dad? No. Matthew's parents were in the middle of their second divorce. Convenient timing. Now I wish I could say it ended there, but there's...oh, so much more. In my research. I kept coming across one number, a special digit that kept repeating over and over and over again. I've already said it once. What number was it? It's the number nine, Jimmy. APPLAUSE APPLAUSE That's right, Matthew McConaughey. Nine. Now, let me ask you this, Matthew. How many years apart are you and Woody? Nine years. And what year did Woody's dad marry Woody's mom? Well, it would be 1959, Jimmy.
And how long were they married? Four years and 11 months. How many months is that? 59. And what year were you born? 1969. Brother, does it end there? I wish it did. But the cosmic dance of the number nine ping-pong's back and forth between Woody and me, in combinations that only the man upstairs can make sense of. For instance, Woody and I grew up in Texas. He grew up in Midland, Texas. I grew up in Longview, Texas. Question. How long does it take to drive from one to the other, Jimmy? By my estimation, probably six and a half hours? Correct. But in 1969, the year of my birth, the top speed on freeways in Texas was only 70 miles per hour, as compared to 85 miles per hour that it is today.
Bringing the total travel time, too? My God. Nine hours. Dingo, bingo, buckaroo. Oh, and no big deal or anything. But exactly a half way between Midland and Longview. What will you find, Jimmy? The connection between I-20 and Highway 108, of course. Highway 108. One plus zero plus eight. Nine. Jimmy, I need you to do me a favor. Go to seat 108 in the audience, please. Look under seat 108, please. Excuse me. Is there anything there? Is there anything there? My bag. There's nothing here. Oh, shoot, my bad.
Try next door. Nine. Can you check under your seat? Is there... Is it? Ah! And what does that card say? That was under seat 109. This is Brother, starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, premiered September 23rd on Apple TV. Jimmy, one last question. What month is September? Oh, you're good. You're real good. No! Matthew McConaughey is back on the Tonight Show when we come back. I'm just a confection with Justin Guillaume, because I'm proud of us. Welcome back to the Tonight Show.
Everybody, it is time to play Up Quiz. Playing tonight is an Academy Award winning actor who stars alongside Woody Harrelson. And the new series, Brothers, which premieres September 23rd on Apple TV, it is Matthew McConaughey. And as opponent, she's a social media star. You can see in the new series, Earl meets World, which is streaming now on Netflix. It's Alex Earl. And this, thank you. Oh! Is the first puppy up for grabs. Now, just how the game works. And I wonder if the NFL people are kicking off tonight. I'll be asking you a series of football-related trivia questions. If you answer correctly, you win a Golden Retriever puppy.
If you answer incorrectly, your opponent gets the puppy. Whoever has the most puppies at the end of the game is the pup quiz champion. Matthew, Matthew, first here's the question.

The only Matthew McConaughey. They love you, Matthew McConaughey. Welcome back to the show. And thank you for playing Pup Quiz. The Puppies got bigger as they came out. That's correct. Number two was bigger than one. Three was bigger than two.
Three wasn't even a puppy. That was a sea lion. Yeah, absolutely. Thank you for coming back to the show. Last time you were on the show. You always do something fun on the show. Last time you were on the show. We sang with the group, The Last Bison. And we did a bluegrass version of Choosing Texas by Ella Langley. And Ella Langley actually commented on the video and said, I may never recover from this. I love you, Ella. Thank you, Ella. Thank you, Ella. Thank you, Ella. You were so good. That was the best. And then she went on to play our clip at her concert. Yes. And it was like, and the crowd went nuts. It was like, thank you, Ella Langley. It was awesome. But you were so talented. And then the last time I saw you were at the US Open. Are you a tennis? Yes. Yes. Are you a big tennis guy? I've gotten into tennis. I played for just a few months in ninth grade. And then I broke my foot and I got into golf. But five years ago, five years ago, I went out and I played just fun with three friends, right?
And two hours later, I was drenched in sweat. My heart rate had gotten higher. And I was like, oh, I'm throwing away my running shoes. This is so much more to want to get more fun way to get exercise. I'm addicted to it now. Oh, really? Yeah. And have you seen any match? Who do you see? Salt Tommy Paul. The other day saw Alcoraz. Oh, it's amazing. We've seen some of the women's matches. Soca. They're the great one coming up this Friday in the semi finals. We got two Americans in the semi finals. That's right. Come on. And then, uh, no. In the US open. I've been here now a few times. I've made it to women a couple of times. I'm hooked. So anywhere, anytime I can get to go see Tense or play it, I'm in. Yeah. And I know you're a big college football fan because we actually have done stuff, uh, as we at. Yeah. In Texas. Yeah. And it was, yeah. And the eyes of Texas are a born user. I remember that. Yeah. Of course, the Texas Longhorns, uh, what's their chances this year? I remember that. I remember that. Yeah. Of course. I remember that. What's their chances this year?
I don't know. But. Chances look very good. We have a murderous row schedule to play, um, starting, uh, this Saturday night in Darrell K. Royal Memorial Stadium, where we will be hosting the number one ranked Ohio State Buck guys to our house. We went there last year. They beat us 14 seven. And now it's revenge time. We'll be 102,000 strong. Hook them on Saturday night. Yeah. Hook them more. Very good. Very good. Yeah. How's everything, uh, going with, uh, your pantalonis tequila company? Great, man. I love that. Really going good. We are the number one organic tequila in the world. Congratulations. Yeah. I love your, your ads that you do with your beautiful wife, Camille, they're really funny. Uh, look at one of these print ads. It says, yeah. Yeah. The official tequila of tailgates and tan lines. Come on. That's not bad. Everything you can do, Pam. The pixels are our friend. That's our ad campaign right there. It's so funny. I love it.
Do you do any other marketing for pantalonis? No, that's it. You know, when you're marketing a product, you've got to be clear about what your campaign is and leave it at that. Then you have to back off. Uh-huh. Because you can't be too obvious or oversell it in places. You know, I was writing a note in my phone just, uh, the other night about this. About marketing here. Oh, my, hey. This is about marketing. This is about marketing. This is about marketing. Yeah, here we go. When you love a product, you don't have to sell it. It sells itself. This way, the marketing of the product never feels forced, but always feels like a natural, unrehearsed, subtle sell. Hmm. That's really important when you're marketing a brand. It's just an interesting, uh, phone case you have there. Oh, hey! Look at that. That's a pantalonis phone case. How'd they get there? That's interesting. Hey! Yeah, that's interesting. I bet you wish you had one. I wish I had one. I don't, I don't. Look at that.
I happen to have one right there. You just have another one. I mean, I, you know? This is a genius idea and this is not. I just don't know how. No. It got there. Jimmy? No. Who would ever even market something as genius as pantalonis tequila? Cheers. Cheers, bud. Einch! Oof! Whoo! That is fancy. Cheered! Sugar. Cool top of mind. It works. Look at that. Yes, it works. Cheers, bud. Whoop! Whoa! I just wanted a shadow Gelm Hahaç. Get me five Joint, get me five crits. Yeah, I love that. Oh! Where is my paper? Jamiebooks? Popp, get me five. Matthew, we didn't talk about your new series. That's really why we have to talk about your series, Brothers. Yes. Okay, this starts you and Woody Harrelson, who we love. You start together. You also co-created the show. Yeah, we did.
It's funny, it's entertaining, it's heartwarming. You two play exaggerated versions of yourself. Yeah. Because there's been a long time rumor that you and Woody might be related. Mom and mom started it. How? Woody and I've been friends for 25, 30 years. I don't remember the 90s. The day he said we met. But anyway, I do remember the next time we met, which is when I thought we first met. Anyway, his kids called me, Uncle Matthew. My kids called him Uncle Woody, and they're always, I mean, you know what's like? You're brothers, I care about this. For decades, it's been going on. And one night, we're on a family vacation. And it's about 1 a.m. And my mom is now into her like third kind of Jackson. And this kind of thing is going on. By the way, I tell this story a lot. Kendall Jackson, I need to set my mom up. Yeah, come on. Anyway. Love Kendall Jackson. As it's going on, my mom's here in the story and all of a sudden, my mom out of nowhere takes a sip and she goes, oh Woody, I knew your father.
Right? Now look, I had a six year old son who even he picked up the in-you window of what the hell? I knew, man. Yeah, he did. It meant they shagged, right? So, so the kids go scram. Oh, I knew it, I knew it, I knew it. They start doing research and all this different stuff. And they go, actually, the year you would have been conceived was during, as you said earlier in your mind, during my mom and dad's second divorce. And there was death supposed to be a receipt that had her in West Texas motel, where his dad was supposed to be. So off it went. Woody's a full believer, it's true. He likes to bring up this quote that my dad said the night when he wouldn't come to the hospital when I was going to be born. He's like, that ain't my son, Katie. He said that, and one rule. If it's a boy, don't name him Kelly. Hang up. Wow. That's what he said. So, it's taken off and badly. You believe it to be true? I don't believe it. Woody does. So, he's like, let's do a DNA test. And he's always like, why aren't you so happy
that this could be true, brother, Matthew? I'm like, because for you, it's easy. You'd gain a brother. For me, you're asking me to disown who I believe my father is for 56 years. Exactly. To little tricky. Yeah. But I gotta say, the marketing campaign you're doing for this brother, these are photos of both of you guys when you were young. I could see you guys being brothers. Brothers. I mean, here we are. I can see this. Would you ever want to do a DNA test? Yeah, I'd get it over with. I don't think it's true. I might need to. You might need to, yeah, next time. Woody haven't such a good time, believe it. So many other people actually believe it, too. And my mom is just keep spurn it on. Going on. Well, keep on, you knew. Yeah. Well, keep throwing them the... It's up. You decide what you knew. No, we know what you meant. We know you meant, Mom. Yeah. Matthew McCoddell, hey, everybody, brothers, premieres September 23rd on Apple TV. Alex Errol joins us at the Break Figure Out. Who is he?
Who sent his to blind finally made his seal to me? Yes, Mom. Next guest is Nick Smith. Who is he? Our next guest is a social media icon and entrepreneur who's new reality series Earl Meets World is streaming now on Netflix. Please welcome Alex Errol. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Hi! Welcome back to the tonight show. Last time you were on our show, you announced your new skincare line called Real Actives. Yes. And you sold out. We sold out the first day. It was insane. You could believe he sold out. I could not believe what was happening in front of me as that happened, but it was crazy. It was crazy. Thank you. It's been such a passion project. What do you do when everything sells out? I mean, we actually ordered, like, double that day for our launch day because we were like, we want to be over-prepared, we don't want to sell out, and it ended up selling out, and then we just had to wait, like, a month and a half until we were back. You crushed it.
It's been really great. Congratulations. I'm so happy for you. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE You're very, uh, run a very successful business. We have over 15 million followers on social media. Time 100, look at this, on the cover of Time 100. Creators, let's get ready. Second year in a row. Uh, but you're on the cover of This Time, and also inside the magazine is your beautiful dog, Asia. Oh, all right. Are you Asian? You're Asia. She's a star. She went from the shelter to the cover, and now she's on our TV show with us, which is so great, but, you know, she was in my confessional's with me. Yes. What do you do? You'll look your interviews on the reality show, and her dog collar, all of a sudden, my assistant, is getting all these, like, you know, texts and calls, and she was like, what's going on? Her dog collar had my assistant's phone number on it, and it's like, blaring on the TV show. You're joking. So now we have to change her number, but we were like, what's going on? Everyone's like, hey, Alex. Oh, my God. Lesson. You gotta learn your lessons while you're making this. Gotta watch out for Asia.
What's it like with a Earl Meats world? This is a reality show. I would assume that you're natural on camera. Is it normal for you? You know, it came naturally, I guess. And, you know, I was comfortable with it, but usually I'm like being vulnerable with myself in my bathroom talking about something, sharing some secrets, and it's just me and my phone, and now it's me and my phone, and then some guy in the shower with a big camera standing there. Yeah, yeah, the audio guy going in, can you speak up? Yeah, say that again. You just gotta get used to it for a second. I have it at the fam. Are you proud of their performances? I am. And, you know, I would say my dad, we were shocked by my dad, and my dad was like, I'm not really going to be a part of this, like, whatever. He loved it. He would kill me if he heard me saying this. He loved it. Yeah, I think he loved it. And, I think my whole family, they've just really never been around, like, cameras or anything before. So, to them, they're just, like, speaking freely, like, everything off the cuff, and I think that's what makes the show so great, because it is just, like, an unfiltered version of our lives. It's super fun. Has the family gone closer? You know, we did get closer throughout the process,
because we kept saying we're like, oh, this is, like, family therapy. Usually, like, you know, we just kind of, like, sweep things under the rug. We're like, we don't need to really bring up the issues right now, like, whatever. Let's just, like, all get along and have dinner. And so, it did bring us closer, and now that it's aired, and everyone's seen what everyone said about each other, you know, no one's talking. No great, perfect. Yeah, that's actually it. Congratulations, yeah. Have you watched it back and go, like, oh, there's things like, you didn't know about, or things you're learning about, now besides giving out your assistance number? Yeah. I cried a lot during the show. You cried a lot. You cried a lot. It was pretty embarrassing, you know? And I never really knew what I looked like, crying, and just you have these up-close images of me crying, I think because of the both talks, I can't really like move my face too much. So it's just like a pal like this. And it's, I was like, oh, so that's what I look like crying. Maybe I'll stop crying now, and just like a smile. You're still, but you've actually done, you've actually used that. Here's a picture of you crying. I'm just in tune with my emotion. You've actually made this part of the... I did a little series kind of poking fun at myself,
because I feel like, you know, if you can't laugh at yourself, how do you expect other people to? So, you know, I know myself worth, unfortunately, I also know his address. I like this running from the mess that I created. There you go. Come on, yeah. So... What you're doing this show, I mean, you actually go deep. You talk about your dating life, you talk about your career, you talk about things that are being talked about in the news, that I was like, whoa, you're actually going to go there. Do you feel, is it a relief that you're kind of getting out there and be able to say it on your terms, what you feel? Or is it like, I can't believe I'm saying this? It's a mix of both, you know, it's definitely scary when you're being so vulnerable, and especially during such high emotional points in my life. But I am really proud that I always kind of just go with my gut and lean on what's really going on in my life and how I honestly feel, and I feel like that authenticity has been a part of my brand thus far, and I want it to continue to be. So there are definitely moments where I'm like, oh, like, I can't believe I'm talking about this,
or saying this, but I just... I enjoy connecting with other people through those human moments. So I, yeah, and I'm happy it's all out there now. It's like we've ripped the band-aid off and... Good for you. Move on, important. Yeah, good for you, but I like to get straight. Thank you. And they're... APPLAUSE On social media, there's a lot of misinformation about you on the internet that is not true, and I thought tonight we could play a game where you read me a few things about yourself, and I'll have to guess which one is false. Okay. I have a card. Oh, per... Yeah, I've not seen this, so I don't know. I'm excited for this. Okay, one of these is false. All right. I once puked on a dress, kept it in my closet for two years, and then posted about it online. I found out halfway through my freshman year of college that someone had been secretly living in our basement. What? I went to a performing arts camp, and I majored in circus. You're really...
I'm acting right now. This is amazing. Wait, so we puked on a dress, saved it, and then put it on the... That sounds something interesting to me. I would probably think that you would have done that. Oh, I'd probably... I mean, just saying that, because I've seen you, and I think you're funny, and I think that's actually a funny bit. Does someone living in your basement that weirdly... I'm not kidding. This happened to me. Really? Yes. I went to college, and we went down... Our landlord or something. It was a really weird place, and the guy was like, you know, you have storage downstairs. They go, oh, storage. We didn't even have... I don't even have things. But I'll go look at the storage, and I went down. There was a dude living in my storage. Like the same thing happened to us. I'm not kidding. Three months into living there. Wait. Was it me? No. But that's... Oh, wait. All right. And then the last one was... What was the last one? I was performing Arts Camp, and I majored in circus. Circus.
Forming Arts Camp. All right. I'm... Circus is one of the things that you would do in a performing Arts Camp. You're a good performer. Mm-hmm. I could see you doing circus. That's like, like, silks and gymnastics. Silks, trapeze. Trapeze, yeah. I could see you doing that. I think you're... Sorry, I learned that like baby-freeze moves. All right, so wait. So it's puke... Stranger living in a basement that happened actually to me. Or circus. Yes. Now I'm rethinking puke. LAUGHTER I'm gonna say that puke on the dress is the false one. Wrong. What? Oh, my God. Are you still happy that I got a wrong finally? Which one? It was the stranger in the basement. Oh, really? I learned once you said that. I was like, be too single. That's so weird, yeah. Because I'm like, who would that ever happen to me? That actually really happened to me, because that's what I felt for it. Of course, no one did. All the other ones are true. Yes. So you did throw up an address and kept it reclawed it for two years? OK, this is like a little bit of a different... This is the longest story that everyone's like booing me.
It's... That was booing you? I didn't know. I put it in a bag and it got, like, shifted away somewhere. We found it years later. Oh, my God. Is it in a bag preserved? It was preserved. And then I talked about it, because I was like, oh, this is crazy. And everyone was like, you are the most disgusting vial humor ever. And I was like, OK, so... No, you were. I was like, Alex Earl Hygiene for like two years. Oh, my God. How did you do that again? Uh, dude, you're the best and you're really fun and keep being you and keep being honest and we love you. All the trouble, everybody, our own meets world is streaming now on Netflix. Stick around, everybody. Come on back. Let's get out of here. We need a home glass. It's not so good, but we're just gonna grow ahead.
