You know what I mean?\u201d Spade said in Monday\u2019s episode while running through news items from the holiday break. \u201cHe got out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLike, you\u2019re on the Jets, you go to the Steelers after 20 years and then you go, \u2018Hey, I want to send in some plays on the Jets.\u2019 They\u2019re like, \u2018Not anymore. No, you\u2019re over there,\u2019\u201d the comedian posited. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think he\u2019ll probably lower his footprint and lower the temperature because he just wants to be, he wants to raise his family now,\u201d Carvey added. <\/p>\n<p>Spade also expressed surprise that Clooney set his sights on France at all: \u201cI would think if he\u2019s bailing, he would go to Italy because he was in Italy for the last 20 years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.surveymonkey.com\/r\/LVPJQD5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"970\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2025-survey-v3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7922925\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Clooney has been among the most vocal A-list Hollywood figures to speak out against President Donald Trump and additionally set in motion widespread concerns over President Joe Biden\u2019s cognitive abilities after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thewrap.com\/george-clooney-defends-biden-op-ed-civic-duty\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">writing a now-infamous New York Times op-ed<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Clooney and the president <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thewrap.com\/media-platforms\/politics\/george-clooney-donald-trump-new-years-eve-insult-response\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">traded barbs as recently as last week<\/a> after Trump on Wednesday evening praised Clooney\u2019s decision to get French citizenship as \u201cGood News!\u201d before attacking him for his support of Kamala Harris during the 2024 presidential election. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cGood News!
