(LAUGHTER)
SAGAL: Helen Hong.
HELEN HONG: He'll fly a skywriting plane over the White House saying, (imitating Donald Trump) hey, Eric, you're out of the will.
(LAUGHTER)
SAGAL: And Tom Bodett.
TOM BODETT: Just to save time and speed things along, he'll upload the entire White House staff into his Tinder account and just swipe left when he needs to.
(LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE)
BILL KURTIS: Well, if any of that happens, we'll ask you about it on WAIT WAIT... DON'T TELL ME.
SAGAL: Thank you, Bill Kurtis.
(APPLAUSE)
