Amy Poehler: I’m Amy Poehler! And here are tonight’s top stories.

Amy Poehler: Hillary Clinton’s campaign, on Friday, released her joint tax returns, showing $109 million in income over the last seven years. Though most of that comes from Bill Clinton’s speaking engagements, book royalties, and stud fees.

The Olympic Torch arrived in Beijing Monday, where it immediately suffered an asthma attack and died.

Seth Meyers: Hillary Clinton, on Tuesday, said she is not a quitter, and compared herself to Rocky Balboa — the washed-up, over-the-hill, white contender, who, despite a herculean effort, is soundly beaten by the charismatic black guy!

In the wake of the expanding mortgage crisis, the Bush administration, on Monday, proposed the most far-reaching overhaul of the financial regulatory system since the Great Depression. On the downside, all banking transactions now begin with: “Pick a card.”

Seth Meyers: People in Cuba snatched up DVD players, pressure cookers, and other appliances on Tuesday, as a variety of consumer products went on sale for the first time. Unfortunately, this is causing massive lines at Cuba’s outlet.

After Governor Bill Richardson switched his support from Hillary Clinton to Barack Obama last week, an angry Bill Clinton said, “Five times to my face he said he would never do that.” Wow, so he looked you right in the face and lied to you. What’s that like?

[ suddenly, pregnant man homas Beatie enters the set ]

Thomas Beatie: Hellooooo! Excuse me!

Seth Meyers: Ughhh…

Amy Poehler: Wait… who’s that? Who’s that? [ looks around ] Oh, no…

Thomas Beatie: It’s me, Thomas Beatie, the pregnant man who was on “Oprah”, because I’m pregnant — and a man.

[ Thomas purposely tries to stand in profile, so as to accentuate the baby in his womb ]

Amy Poehler: Right. Hi, Thomas, how are you?

Seth Meyers: It’s good to see you.

Amy Poehler: What’s up?

Thomas Beatie: Nothing’s up! It’s just that I’m having a baby shower for this little miracle rolling around on top of my prostate.

Seth Meyers: [ with great disinterest ] Uh-huh.

Thomas Beatie: And I wanted you two… to be there. [ he gently places two invitations on the news desk ]

Amy Poehler: Oh.

Seth Meyers: Really? [ he laughs ] So you’re having a baby shower?

Thomas Beatie: Yeah… and you two HAVE to come. It’s going to be like any other dude’s baby shower —

Amy Poehler: Okay…

Thomas Beatie: The game will be on, we’ll open presents, and there’ll be beers in the icebox for all the bros not carrying little hos!

Amy Poehler: Well, that can be fun.

Thomas Beatie: Seth?

Seth Meyers: Yeah, I don’t know.

Thomas Beatie: Come on, dude. Did I mention the stripper?

Seth Meyers: Nnnnno.

Thomas Beatie: Did I mention she’s also pregnant?

[ Seth is disgusted ]

Thomas Beatie: It’s a celebration of life!

Seth Meyers: Uh — [ turns to look at Thomas ] Stop turning back and forth, you’re creeping me out! [ Thomas continues to do so anyway ] It’s just that, um — [ turns again ] We get it, you’re pregnant! You don’t have to constantly be in profile, you’re pregnant! It’s just, um — and I don’t mean any offense here, Pregnant Guy — [ he laughs ] I find this whole thing a little weird!

Thomas Beatie: Look, Seth — I understand my situation’s unconventional. But, in the end, all I’m doing is making a baby. Hey — you want to feel my stomach?

Seth Meyers: [ relunctantly ] Yeah, alright… okay… [ he touches Thomas’ stomach ] Oh, my God! I just felt a kick!

Thomas Beatie: No, that’s my dong.

Seth Meyers: [ removes his hand ] Awwwww…

Thomas Beatie: See you at the shower!

[ Thomas exits the set ]

Amy Poehler: The pregnant man — Thomas Beatie, everyone. THank you, Pregnant Man.
