-I thought I'd do somethin
with you
because you're always fun
and we have fun
every time you come on here.
But you do a lot of great
different accents,
and I wanted to challenge yo
to something fun.
So here's what I'd like yo
to do here.
This is a book right here.
It's a beautiful book.
-A leather-bound book.
-Yes, this is from
my home collection.
[ Laughter ]
This is the classic poem "'Twa
the Night Before Christmas."
-Oh, okay.
-And what I thought you coul
do is maybe, as you're reading
a different accent will come u
on the screen there.
-Okay.
-And when the bell rings,
you change and read
the book in that accent.
[ Laughter ]
Could you do that, maybe?
-I'll give it a go, yeah.
-Yeah. I also have a nice,
festive scarf
I can place upon you.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Yeah. And then --
-Ten points for Gryffindor
[ Laughter and applause ]
-Yeah. All right.
All right. There you go.
So, that's it.
It's all nice and festive.
-[ Clears throat ]
-Now here we go.
[ Both clear throat ]
You can start reading
with the first accent
that appears on the screen
Ruth, can we get some
sleigh bells maybe?
♪♪♪♪
Scot--
-Aww.
-Scottish.
-Aw. That's cute.
Scottish. Okay.
-[ Scottish accent ] 'Twas
the night before Christmas
when all through the house
not a creature was stirring,
not even a wee, little moose.
[ Laughter ]
[ Bell dings ]
-A moose.
-[ Russian accent ]
"Stockings were hung
by the chimney with care,
in hopes that St. Nicholas
soon arrives."
[ Bell dings ]
[ Laughter ]
-Spanish.
-[ Spanish accent ] "The
children were very, very happy."
[ Laughter and applause ]
-Oh, my God.
-Oh, oh, Please, please --
[ Clears throat ]
-[ Laughs ]
-This is my turn, okay?
-Oh, yeah,
sorry, sorry.
-[ Spanish accent ] "The
children were very, very happy
all snug in their beds,
while visions of sugarplum
danced in their cabeza."
[ Laughter ]
[ Bell dings ]
-Cabeza?
-[ Rural American accent ]
"And Mom in her kerchief
and I in my cap...
[ Laughter ]
had just kicked back for
a little catnap."
[ Laughter ]
[ Bell dings ]
Whoo!
[ Cheering and laughter ]
-[ French accent ]
"When out of the roof,
there arose such a clatter
I sprang from my bed to see --
how you say, uh...
what was the matter?"
[ Laughter ]
[ Bell dings ]
"It was freakin' Santa Claus!"
[ Laughter and applause ]
-Oh, my God.
-"It was Santa Claus,
with his little round bell
that jiggled when he walke
and talked
like a bowl full of spaghetti.
[ Laughter ]
[ Bell dings ]
-[ Australian accent ]
"And I heard him exclaim
as he drove out of sight,
Merry Christmas to all
and good day, mate."
-Oh, my gosh!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Wow!
[ Cheering continues ]
Niall Horan, everybody.
Look at -- they're
on their feet, buddy.
-Oh.
-Niall Horan.

Live" this weekend.
