“Sure, you can still see your friends – use the mother****ing app on your phone. But unless you just ran out of groceries, please, stay the f*** at home.”
After the show aired, host Jimmy shared the footage on his Instagram account.
He captioned the plea: “The coolest man in quarantine joins us with an important & profane message.”
