donald sterling mess. last night was part two of the anderson cooper interview with sterling. and during the interview sterling said that people think of him as an ogre or frankenstein. which isn't true because frankenstein and ogres are still allowed at nba basketball games. they're allowed to go. [ laughter ] sterling also talked to anderson cooper about has having a mistress. here he's what he had to say about it. >> when you're so old, you don't think it's wrong anymore if you have a little bit of fun.

of any show out there right now on broadway. it got nominated for ten. and the story is about a a british commoner who realizes that he has a shot at becoming an earl. okay, so all you have to do is murder eight members of the wealthy family in order to get that title. >> steve: there you go. >> jimmy: that's a big hit show. and i'm so happy they're here. "a gentleman's guide to love and murder" tonight. [ cheers and applause ] at the end of the show. it's so good. it's so fun. you guys, a few months ago there was a bit of a feud, a a dust up, a kerfuffle, if you will, between red hot chili peppers drummer chad smith and a good friend of ours, will ferrell. it started when someone on reddit asked will about his resemblance to chad. apparently, they're celebrity doppelgangers. and can we see the side-by-side photo? [ laughter ] so anyway, will answered by saying that he is chad smith. [ laughter ] chad smith doesn't exist. he's just a will ferrell character. [ laughter and applause ] so anyway, chad then retaliated

by challenging will to a a drum-off. >> steve: ooh. >> jimmy: and not just any drum-off. the quote, greatest drum-off the world has ever seen. the only thing left for them to do is figure out when and where it will take place. well, ladies and gentlemen, i'm excited to announce that the will ferrell/chad smith drum-off will be held right here on "the tonight show," next thursday, may 22nd!

[ cheers ] yeah, it's fun. well, we use twitter on our show every single week. so if you watch the show, you

want to play along, we do this thing every wednesday where i send out a hashtag, and we ask you guys to tweet out things based on that topic. and so, since "neighbors" is the number one movie in the country right now, i went on twitter and started a hashtag called "my weird neighbor." and i asked you guys to tweet something funny, weird or embarrassing about your neighbor. i tweeted about my neighbor called my parents. it was like 2:00 in the morning, and i guess his wife was locked out of the house. she said, would you mind -- said to my dad -- climbing up the ladder and going to the second floor window and waking up my husband? because she's not answering the phone. so my dad got a ladder, 2:00 in the morning. climbed up to the second floor window of our neighbor's house. and the window was open. it was the summer. and my dad put his head in, he goes, "hey, ed?" [ laughter ] and my neighbor goes, "oh, hey jim." like it's normal. like my dad -- like it's "dawson's creek" and my dad goes through the window. [ cheers and applause ] hey, what's up? how you doing? no.

anyways, we got thousands of tweets. in fact, within 15 minutes it was a trending topic in the united states. so thank you. we love you guys. [ cheers and applause ] thank you so much for doing that. it makes it so, so fun. tonight i thought i'd share some of my favorite "my weird neighbor" tweets from you guys. the first one is from @alexaleigh. she says, "i sing in my apartment all the time, and occasionally i hear my neighbor singing along with me."
