Started from the bottom, now Drake’s making his way into two late shows in one night.
For the recurring “Tonight Show” hashtags routine, Jimmy Fallon started the Twitter trend #MyWeirdFamily in honor of the new “Game of Thrones” season that started earlier this week. The first Drake joke of the night came from a tweet by Twitter user “kelliknoxville,” who wrote that her baby nephew had an interesting dinnertime prayer:
@jimmyfallon My nephew who’s about 6 prayed before dinner one night.. “Dear Lord. We started from the bottom now we’re here.” #myweirdfamily

Fallon responded with a fake cry and joke, “the Book of Drake, 3:16.”
The same night, Jimmy Kimmel brought Drake on his “Live!” show for a new version of “Lie Witness News,” this time calling it “I Witness News.” Why the subtle name change? Drake himself went out in public in a wig, huge beard and glasses, and asked people for their true thoughts on, who else, Drake.
Some people loved him, others hated him, and one person was a little in-between.
“Drake, ehh, he’s kind of an outstandish guy. He says that he came from the bottom, which, most likely, he didn’t.”
