11:35 pm
jose. live in oakland. >> yeah, you're watching abc seven news live anytime, anywhere. we are, we are, we are . >> thank you so much for joining us tonight. i'm ama daetz and i'm dan ashley for sandhya patel. >> larry, bill, all of us. we appreciate your time right now on jimmy kimmel, christina applegate and huey lewis. good ones. >> all right. have a great night. >> lou: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live!" tonight -- christina applegate, huey lewis, and music from the heart of rock and roll. with cleto and the cletones. and now, jimmy kimmel!
11:36 pm
[ cheering and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: hi, everybody. i'm jimmy kimmel. that's very nice. hi, i'm jimmy. i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. thank you for joining us at our home-quarters here in hollywood on the night after st. patrick's day. i almost forgot st. patrick's day was a holiday for adults. until i saw five thousand wildly drunken temporary irishmen in west hollywood last night. oh, yeah, right. did you do anything for st. patrick's day? >> guillermo: no, nothing. >> jimmy: usually you do. you used to. >> guillermo: now i just had a drink at my house. that's it. >> jimmy: okay, you got drunk at home. >> guillermo: that's right. >> jimmy: on saturday night, right before bed, our 6-year-old informed us he expected two things when he woke up on st. patrick's day. he expected to see green water
11:37 pm
in the toilet bowl because apparently that's the color leprechauns pee. [ laughter ] and he wanted some kind of easter bunny-style candy basket. and we were like, "no, that doesn't happen on st. patrick's day. you don't get candy on st. patrick's day." then we're trying to remember. did we give them candy last year on st. patrick's day? [ laughter ] we could not remember. the next thing you know, i'm driving around at 11:00 going from ralph's to walgreens to cvs trying to find green candy and gold coins. i put food coloring in the toilet, and our son would not let us flush it. [ laughter ] everyone had to use the bathroom in our bedroom all day long. president biden had a little st. paddy's day soiree at the white house with the prime minister of ireland who i think was here for st. patrick's last year too. joe biden also invited 30 members of the kennedy family. look at that. it's a who's who of who won't be voting for cousin robert this year. [ laughter ] meanwhile, the large orange leprechaun spent his st. patrick's day focused on me, of all people. st. fatty had an interview with
11:38 pm
fox news yesterday -- [ laughter ] and apparently he's still stewing about a jik i made about him at the oscars. >> what is up with you and jimmy kimmel? because during the academy awards, you posted, has there ever been a worst host than jimmy kimmel at the oscars? less than an average person trying too hard. and he read that on the air and took a crack at you. >> and what else did i say? i said some other pretty good things. >> were you getting even -- >> slopadopoulos, george slopadopoulos. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: so proud of himself for typing out george slopadopoulos, which not only is that a lame nickname, george stephanopoulos is like the opposite of sloppy. i mean look, he is fit. he's clean. he's muscular, he's smart. i mean, if you're looking for a slopadopoulos, this is your sloppy guy right there. come on now. [ cheering and applause ] sick in his head. but i digress. i was trying to make this about me. >> now look, look. jimmy kimmel is -- every night he hits me. his ratings are terrible.
11:39 pm
he is not a talented guy. i hear he hits me all the time. so i figured i'd hit him, because i thought he was a lousy host. >> jimmy: by the way, i was at my niece and nephew's music recital when i got this video. i guess i shouldn't be surprised. donald trump has said i'm not talented so many times, eric is starting to get jealous. [ laughter ] what he doesn't realize is that i love this. i love that this bothered him so much. i love that fox picked a news guy nobody knows to interview him. [ laughter ] and i especially love when he tries to spin the fact that everyone was laughing at him into a positive. >> i put it out on truth, which is on fire, by the way. truth social is doing great. i never expected he was going to be reading it just prior to the movie of the year, which is the big one, right? that's the big one, i think they get the man, the woman, now the movie of the year. he reads my truth on air. he reads exactly what you read. and now the big story is that they all begged him not to do it, don't do it, don't do it. >> right. >> and he probably stupidly had to act in a short period of time, right? like minutes, he had minutes because he's on air.
11:40 pm
he sees this thing and he wants to go out there and he wants to i guess confront me. and he ends up reading my truth. i said, this guy's even dumber than i thought. [ laughter ] the thing went viral. it went all over the world now, and all he had to do is keep his mouth shut. >> jimmy: yeah, yeah. by the way, you forget why it went viral all over the world. >> thank you for watching. i'm surprised -- isn't it past your jail time? [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: barbie was laughing at you. [ laughter ] not only were they laughing at you on oscar sunday, there are now dozens of "past your jail time" shirts! for sale. [ cheers ] there are mugs. there are tank tops. there is an "isn't it past your jail time" backpack. people are writing it outside [ laughter ] the trump hotel. there are billboards. there are billboards in
11:41 pm
pennsylvania, in florida, and there are a lot more to come. but if only i'd kept my mouth shut. imagine him telling anyone they should've kept their mouth shut? [ laughter ] that should be on his tombstone. "should have kept his mouth shut." [ laughter and applause ] and by wait -- i'm not -- hey, you know what? maybe you're right about me being dumb. we should take one of those cognitive tests or an iq test together. or maybe we should sit down for a listening game of scrabble together and find out who has a biglier brain. [ laughter ] i'd love that. but i get it. he's wounded and he's lashing out. and even though i know his intent was to hurt me, i am going to focus on the positive things he said. >> look, look, jimmy kimmel every night is doing great. he's a talented guy. he's not dumber than i thought. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: thank you. it's very big of you to admit that. and i'm sorry i ruined your sunday night with melania. i know how many great late night talks you two have. [ laughter ] >> our country is being overrun by criminals, by murderers, by drug addicts.
11:42 pm
they're all coming in through joe biden's horrible open border. there has never been a border like this anywhere in the world at any time. he is a disaster as a president. he doesn't understand it. he doesn't understand how bad it is. it's so bad the whole world is talking about it. there has never been a case like this. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: thank you. thank you, slopadopoulos. meanwhile, and this is beautiful, he made a big deal in court about how much money he has, about how rich he is. now those same lawyers have to tell the judge he doesn't have enough money to cover the judgment against him. trump's lawyers today told the court they can't find anyone to put up the $454 million bond he needs to cover what he owes the state of new york. they say they approached around 30 bond companies and none of them would do business -- gee, i wonder why. can you imagine that phone call? "hi, we represent donald trump. we were wondering if you -- hello?" [ laughter ] i mean, who would have ever guessed that a hard-earned reputation for not paying your bills would make it difficult to
11:43 pm
get credit. [ laughter ] and what's the problem anyway? didn't you say mar-a-lago is worth at least 1.8 billion dollars? just get a reverse mortgage on that! [ laughter ] i'm sure tom selleck could help you. the traveling trump show made a stop in dayton, ohio, this weekend and this is how they got the rally started. >> ladies and gentlemen, please rise for the horribly and unfairly treated january 6th hostages. ♪ oh say can you see ♪ >> jimmy: what? [ laughter ] i wonder who wrote that intro, by the way. now the insurrectionists are hostages. and i guess it's okay to wear a hat during the national anthem now, too. trump told the crowd that if he doesn't win in november, he's not sure we'll ever have another election in this country. and if he does win, we definitely won't have another election. [ laughter ] but of all the very disturbing things he said, this was probably the most disturbing. >> we're going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that
11:44 pm
comes across the line. and you're not going to be able to sell those to us. if i get elected. now, if i don't get elected, it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole -- that's going to be the least of it. >> jimmy: the longer this election goes, the more he talks like thanos. [ laughter ] he's saying bloodbath. so after the bloodbath remark, people went oh, that's not great. trump went into spin mode saying he was only talking about a bloodbath in the auto industry. he had to post an explanation on truth social, which is on fire, by the way. [ laughter ] they even had to activate the fox and friends to do damage control. >> with donald trump, you have to watch and don't let people report what they think he said. context is always important, and we try to give you as much of it as we possibly can. >> and if you watch mainstream media outlet, you don't get the whole story. >> just watch us. we'll tell you both sides. >> so true. >> jimmy: so true. [ laughter ] not just true, so true. listen, there are very fine people on both sides of the bloodbath.
11:45 pm
the truth is, the context we should be considering isn't whether or not trump meant bloodbath literally. he is such a lunatic, we actually have to debate if he meant it literally. [ laughter ] we have to ask "was that totally crazy or just kind of crazy?" then trump went off on joe biden, who he would like us to believe has mobilized a team of law enforcement officials against him. >> he uses the justice department, the fbi to go after his political opponent. it happens to be me. how are we doing? and he has driven my numbers through the roof. do it one or two more times. how about a couple more indictments, joe, you dumb son of a -- a dumb son of a -- >> jimmy: when he does that move, that's when he's farting. [ laughter ] just keep that in mind. and then, and then trump, who i don't know, maybe he doesn't have a scale in his bathroom, because he then unleashed a
11:46 pm
barrage of very self-unaware fat jokes at the governor of illinois. >> look at what the democrats have done. look at illinois. you have this guy pritzker. i don't know. he is too busy eating. he is eating all the time. would you like a hamburger? how many do you want? five? i'll have five burgers, please. you go to his office. would you like a hamburger? i'll have five burgers, please. who the hell orders five burgers? >> jimmy: i don't know, you? [ laughter ] the weirdest part is he's taking these shots at the governor of illinois. they weren't even in illinois! they were in ohio going "what?" [ laughter ] and while trump is busy trying to get his oval ass back in the oval office, his former vice poodle is not being a good boy. >> we have not heard from you. will you be endorsing your former president? you were on the ticket with him last time around. >> well, martha, i appreciate the question. and it should come as no surprise that i will not be endorsing donald trump this year. [ cheering and applause ]
11:47 pm
>> jimmy: it does kind of come as a little bit of a surprise. but i guess the stockholm syndrome finally wore off. [ laughter ] how is mike pence not on "dancing with the stars" yet? i mean, somebody needs to get that done. [ laughter ] but it's not all turmoil and strife. just when it feels like our system is broken and our country is divided beyond repair, something magical happens. it reminds you people from different teams don't have to hate each other. we can come together to put our differences aside and remind ourselves that we are better together. >> rookies anthony black and gradey dick, one from arkansas, the other from kansas, exchanging jerseys. >> jimmy: my gosh, you know what? if that doesn't put a smile on your face, nothing ever will.
11:48 pm
listen, the fact of the matter is the people who support trump and the maga agenda are under the impression that america was founded on the idea of excluding those who do not share your beliefs, which is the opposite of the truth. our forefathers started this country with the words "we the people." so we went out to the people to find out just how patriotic these patriots are. we sent a crew to a trump rally in south carolina to give those gathered there a simple citizenship test, the same ones immigrants are required to take to get citizenship. and this is what happens when the citizenship hits the fan. >> what brings y'all here today? >> to see donald trump himself. >> donald trump. >> donald [ bleep ] trump! >> trump, baby. >> trump. >> yeah, let's get a look at the sweatshirt. and the fanny pack. >> yeah. >> i'm here to bring awareness to fukushima daiichi, the clock shots, the deaths and injuries, and let's go brandon. >> let's go brandon. >> yeah. >> let's go lgbtqcq+. as a voter, what is your biggest concern? >> the border and the economy. >> migration. finish up the damn wall. >> all the illegals coming in.
11:49 pm
we just got to stop 'em. >> we're out here today asking real americans if they could pass the citizenship test. do you think you could do it? >> sure. >> maybe. >> easily. >> number one, what is the supreme law of the land? >> i don't know. >> no! >> guns, liberty, and justice. >> wow, i have no idea. >> my fellow citizens. >> good question. well, i'm not going answer that one right now. >> how many amendments does the constitution have? >> 32. >> 10? >> no. >> i don't know. >> 20-something i think. maybe 13. i'm not real sure on that. i worry about number one and number two. >> what are the first three words of the constitution? >> in god we trust. >> okay. so that's four. >> life, liberty and happiness. >> no, it's "we the people." >> that guy said it walking past you. he heard you. cheated! you cheated like joe biden! >> yeah!

>> jimmy: welcome, welcome, it's great to see you. thank you for coming. >> of course. i was thinking, wouldn't it be funny if i came out and did a somersault like willy wonka? "ta-da!" you'd be like, "she's such a bitch, she's such a liar." >> jimmy: i've learned from our text exchanges that you have a very sick sense of humor. >> it's how i live. it's how i keep myself okay. >> reporter: i like it. i think that's good. i think that's the way to go for sure. >> otherwise i would be all the time. >> jimmy: yeah. you probably do a little of that, i'm sure. >> when i wake up. it's fine. >> jimmy: when you wake up. >> i think we all kind dove, right? >> jimmy: for those that don't know, you were diagnosed with ms three years ago? >> 2021. >> jimmy: 2021. and you've been -- >> are you going to say how's it going? [ laughter ]
11:57 pm
>> jimmy: no. but how are you? how are you doing? >> i mean, it sucks. i'm not going to lie. and i think anyone who has ms isn't going to be like, this is the best thing that ever happened to me! >> jimmy: right, sure. >> it really isn't, because that would make you have a really crappy life if that's the best thing, the best thing that ever happened to you is something like this. that is a joke. [ laughter ] you guys don't get me! >> jimmy: they'll get it, they'll get it. >> they'll come around. >> jimmy: because for people it's a little bit shocking. >> i know. it's shocking. >> jimmy: you come out with a cane and people love you and are concerned about you. >> of course. and i understand that. look, did i want this? no. do i wish this on anyone? no. but it is my now. it's my normal. and -- >> jimmy: one good thing that came of this i guess is you made a new friend, jamie-lynn sigler, who also has ms and you started a podcast with. >> we did. >> jimmy: did that begin with phone calls? or how did that start? >> we have a mutual friend named lance bass from a band called

[ laughter ] >> yes. ny-ync. we've known each other in the peripheral for many years. i'd known lance for 25 years. i'd seen her around and stuff. when i came out to my closest and nearest and dearest before i went public with it, he goes you got to talk to jamie. so yeah, it started as conversations. i'd be sitting there, and we'd be laughing and crying and talking for two hours. i don't know which one of us was like, let's just record this, make it a thing. because we felt that what we were talking about, and we were being really raw and honest about how we were feeling, that it might help. an i think it will help people. i really do. i think that people listen. and you don't have to have ms to listen to what we're talking about. we talk about everything, from, you know, being constipated. i know. whatever.

note to self. "when bob dylan sends you a song, record it." >> jimmy: record it, yeah. maybe you put it in the musical. tack it on the end. [ applause ] is it true that punk rock music is what inspired you to be this elite singer? >> in a way. it wasn't so much the music. i was in a band called clover. and we were in london. and the day we landed, really, punk music hit. johnny rotten spit in the face of the first enemy reporter and the game was on. we went to -- i remember our first week there, we went to the clash's first gig at the round house. >> jimmy: wow. >> imagine, we're a california country band. we're at the round house which is in the round. and i'm on the side. and the spotlight is on strummer, and he's leaning out over the crowd, and he's glistening in saliva. they're spitting on him, and he is spitting on them back. >> jimmy: you said, "i want to
12:31 am
do that." [ laughter ] >> "what did i get myself in for?" [ applause ] >> jimmy: go ahead. >> but the inspiration for me from the punks was with our old band, we kept grooming ourselves for record companies and listening to what the business told us we should do. and the punks were thumbing their nose at the music business and just singing their own quirky songs their own quirky way. and i thought wow, how liberating. and i vowed if my band ever broke up, that's what i'd do. go back to my hometown, surround myself with my favorite musicians and don't listen to anybody. just play our own stuff. [ cheers and applause ] and that's what we did. >> jimmy: there you go. hooury louis, everybody. his musical "the heart of rock and roll" opens at the james earl jones theater on march 29th. no spitting, please. no spitting at the show.
