and saint mary's grad mahershala ali. >> all right. have a great night, everyone. >> jimmy: hi, i just wanted to say we lost not only a giant in the world of television but a great man one of the most important and impressive people i ever had the pleasure of meeting.

norman was the genius who brought us some of the greatest television shows and characters of all time, "all in the family," "good times," "the jeffersons," "maude," "the facts of life," "diff'rent strokes," "sanford and son," "one day at a time," "mary hartman, mary hartman," "fernwood 2 night." it's an incredible list, and he was an incredible person. he changed situation comedy in the best possible way. he taught us so much about so many serious things, always making us laugh while he did it, and everyone who works in or even watches television owes him a great debt, especially me. i was fortunate enough to work with norman on several projects over the last five years, including live revivals of some of his greatest shows, and i loved him dearly. he was so funny. for the holidays the year before last, my wife and i sent him a shirt, this shirt, norman f'ing lear.

he loved it. he wrote us a note. i want to share it with you. "dear molly and jimmy, i can't [ bleep ] believe this [ bleep ] sweatshirt. [ laughter ] it's something i've always wanted more than i can [ bleep ] tell. you guys are the [ bleep ] best, and i wish you the dearest, sweetest, greatest [ bleep ] holiday season in the history of holiday [ bleep ] seasons. signed, norman f. lear. his middle name was milton, so norman was a hundred when he wrote that. he died last night at 101. 101 years, and somehow it wasn't enough. he leaves behind his lyn, a beautiful family, and a legacy that won't ever be matched. it would be impossible. we were all lucky to have him. i hope we never forget him or the many lessons that he taught us. one of the many, many sweet things about norman was he never said good-bye. he'd say "to be continued" and "over and next." and so that's how we'll leave it. to be continued over and next. i'll be right back.

warning, the program you are about to see is "jimmy kimmel live." it seeks to throw a humorous spotlight on our frailties, prejudices, and concerns. by making them a source of laughter, we hope to show in a mature fashion just how absurd they are." >> lou: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live!" tonight -- mahershala ali, greta lee, and music from grupo frontera, with cleto and the cletones. and now, jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: thank you very much. thank you. i'm jimmy. i am the host of the show. thank you for watching. thanks for coming. thank you for joining us as we wrap up another weird year.

maybe you heard "time" magazine today named their person of the year for 2023, and that person is taylor swift. taylor swift beat out vladimir putin, the president of china, king charles, and to me that makes sense. those guys are terrible singers. really. [ laughter ] the editor-in-chief for "time" said, taylor swift is "the rare person who is both the writer and hero of her own story," and also, he said, we really wanted to sell some magazines this year. [ laughter ] they actually released a varieties of covers, three, i believe, which makes me wonder. if the nominees don't know who is going to be "person of the year," when did she shoot these, last night? [ laughter ] do you think they do this with all the nominees? like, are there a series of sexy photos of federal reserve chairman jerome powell on a computer somewhere? anyway, congratulations to taylor. now, maybe people will finally start talking about her. [ applause ]

and then on the other end of the human popularity scale, tonight marked the fourth republican primary debate. trump was not in attendance. for that again. every one of these debates feels like an 'nsync reunion without justin timberlake. [ laughter ] it's like trying to get pumped up for j.c. chasez. and it's hard. instead, it was nikki haley, ron desantis, chris christie, and vivek ramaswamy, or as trump calls them, bird brain, meatball, fat pig, and vivian hamas-karate. [ laughter ] and the debate took place at the university of alabama in tuscaloosa, which sounds kind of like a threat. "if you don't straighten up, you'll be debating vivek ramaswamy in tuscaloosa!" [ laughter ] this is the last debate between the eventual tusca-losers before voters go to the polls. the iowa caucus is at the end of january, which means we're only six weeks away from ron desantis in des moines eating a corn dog in six-inch heels, everybody. [ laughter ] before the debate tonight, the

candidates were asked to sign a pledge written by the rnc committing to support the eventual nominee, which will almost certainly not be them. forcing them to agree to support donald trump, it feels like asking japan to promise to support godzilla. trump had his own event last night, a town hall on fox news where scammy sosa somehow managed to swing and miss at the softest of all balls. >> you are promising america tonight you would never abuse power as retribution against anybody. >> except for day one. >> ex-for? >> he's going crazy. except for day one. >> meaning? >> i want to close the border, and i want to drill, drill, drill. >> that's not -- that's not retribution. >> i'm going to be -- [ applause ] i'm going to be -- he keeps -- love this guy. he says you're not going to be a dictator, are you? nope, nope, nope, other than day one. >> jimmy: right. he'll only be a dictator on day one as opposed to the rest of the time when there's no tator, just dick. [ laughter and applause ]

i mean, really, like such a crazy interview. all kidding aside, how about sean hannity having to squeeze him to say he won't be a dictator? i mean, how clear does trump have to make it. hannity was like "wanna take another stab at that one, bro?" nope! [ laughter ] i'm tired of these fake questions, like, "will you become a dictator if you're re-elected?" of course he will! he says it! basically, in november, we're going to be voting on whether to ever vote again, and another dumb thing we need to stop asking is whether joe biden is planning to stay in the race. of course, he is. why else would he be texting us every 20 minutes asking for 5 bucks? at a fund-raiser in massachusetts last night, grampotus reportedly said, "if trump wasn't running, i'm not sure i'd be running." and if that doesn't rake in the dough, i don't know what will. [ laughter ] one of the craziest story lines is that if the polls are to be believed, biden is trailing trump among young voters, which, let me put this in terms maybe

young voters will understand, just because you think alfred is too old to take care of wayne manor doesn't mean you replace him with the joker. [ laughter ] oh, you don't know batman either? okay. all right. well, we're in trouble. [ applause ] somewhere out there in the multiverse, a president hillary clinton is wrapping up her second term while joe biden's telling a waitress at the cracker barrel his soup's too hot. [ laughter ] the other big story in washington is that another prominent republican is getting out of the house. last week, george santos got the boot. today, bitter former speaker kevin mccarthy says he will resign from congress at the end of the month, which means republicans now have an even slimmer majority. mccarthy, who apparently thinks he has fans, put out a video announcement to gently break the news. >> while i'll be departing the house at the end of this year, i will never ever give up fighting for this country that i love so much. we did our part. and when the stakes were the highest, we rose to the

challenge. >> jimmy: wait, who is this "we" he's talking about? [ laughter ] >> we were willing to risk it all no matter the odds, no matter the personal costs, simply put, we did the right thing. thank you, god bless you, and god bless america. >> see you in hell! >> that's a wrap. >> jimmy: i'll miss that dummy. and i'll miss his ventriloquist doll too. so now, like all of trump's banished boot lickers, kevin mccarthy will spend the rest of his days reading commercials for stamps.com on a podcast no one likes. [ laughter ] in north korea, trump's buddy kim jong-un has a problem on his hands. the birth rate in his country has plummeted. experts say the drop is due to malnutrition, poverty, and the fact that having a baby in north korea means the baby would be living in north korea. [ laughter ] on monday, kim appeared at something called the national conference of mothers, and by all accounts, he was shedding tears.

it's hard to tell when he's crying because he's always glistening like a glazed honeybaked ham, but he was, and then everyone was like, "we'd better cry too!" you know, he's very sensitive. they say that whenever he feeds an uncle to a pack of dogs, he's bummed for like a week. [ laughter ] well, it's time to get some help with the elf. if you are a parent who has an elf on your shelf, this is your reminder, nightly reminder to move it and also an idea for what to make it do. tonight, just crack open a bottle of tequila and give it a straw like guillermo before the show. >> guillermo: yes, every day. [ applause ] >> jimmy: the my pillow man, mike lindell, has been in a good mood lately because a district judge in georgia ruled that folks like mike who are suing to replace voting machines with paper ballots should not be referred to as conspiracy they are irss. for whatever reason, mike feels

totally vindicated by this, and would like to celebrate with a return appearance on our show. >> by the way, jimmy, this whole show vindicates mike lindell so i think i should come back on your show. you owe the country an apology for everything you've been saying about mike lindell and mocking him, that he's a conspiracy theory and all this, theorist so i expect he will have me back on. >> plus, he's just looking for an excuse too have you back. >> for an excuse. hey, jimmy, i got the tin foil hat. i get to take it off on your show. that will be nice, huh? >> jimmy: yeah, we'll put you in a pair of tin foil underpants instead. sadly, i don't think we have a spot for mike on our show before we go on break this year, but i understand he has a new holiday special on his channel. did you know that. and i would love to be a part of that. ♪ >> you're just in time for mike

gift for someone, it means something to me, or because of this work, sometimes companies are giving you stuff and so i might be picking from things they give you so over time you end up collecting stuff or you go do an awards season and got 15 suits at the end of the year and you're like, what am i doing with all these suits and they take up all the space so that is my excuse for having so much stuff. >> jimmy: and that's why you have a storage facility full of hats? >> there might be some chairs and boxes and other stuff too. >> jimmy: you mix it. not like a hat land or something like that. >> right. >> jimmy: do you have one of those hats that has the beer cans on the side and the straw? >> not quite. >> jimmy: they're just nice hats? we'll get you one. now i know what to get you for the holidays. mahershala ali is here.

[ applause ] >> jimmy: this is getting what they call oscar buzz which must be very exciting for you. >> yes. it is crazy, yes. >> jimmy: does that embarrass you when i mention it? >> a little bit. i mean, i'm trying to be really cool about it. like, yeah, whatever. >> jimmy: yeah, right. >> yeah, no, it's so wild and for -- it's been a long road for me, and it's been two decades of dealing with my dad asking me things like, so are you medium famous yet to get to this moment? >> jimmy: he really asked that. is he sincere or -- >> no, he really wants to know. >> jimmy: are you medium famous yet? >> yes, he's been asking me that repeatedly for several decades. he just wants to know what to

know his friends. it is a very practical question for him. he wants to explain appropriately -- >> jimmy: does he not understand in that event if they know what you're doing then the answer is yes, you are medium famous? i mean, it's got to be -- it's kind of self-evident. >> you would think but what i'm doing right now is i'm bringing -- i'm starting to bring them to as many events as possible just to prove, you know, that it's real. >> jimmy: i see. >> that i am now finally medium famous. >> jimmy: what have you been bringing them to? >> i brought them -- yesterday we were at the elle women in hollywood event. i was so lucky to be honored and this ridiculous lineup of people like j. lo and jodie foster and me and -- [ laughter ] and i brought my parents. it's so crazy. [ applause ] but, yeah, and my parents, my parents met j. lo. >> jimmy: they met j. lo. did they know j. lo?

were they familiar with her work? >> they knew j. lo, they were adamant about j. lo and jodie foster and they were so weird. [ laughter ] they were so weird. >> jimmy: what do you mean when you say they were weird? they were weird -- >> they were like, if there's a way to be simultaneously extremely nervous and aggressive at the same time. [ laughter ] like, it's just really, like, it's just disorienting and needing to tell them like, do you know greta lee? do you know her. >> jimmy: they say that? oh, yeah. >> yeah. >> jimmy: did you at any point regret bringing them? >> yes. [ applause ] >> jimmy: well, you will continue to bring them to these events. >> i think so. >> jimmy: in the hope that dad will then stop asking you this question. >> yeah, i think so. >> jimmy: well, maybe this will help being on. you can say, hey, look, i was on a show. >> yeah, he's going to watch. i think he's going to watch with all of his friends. >> jimmy: okay, good, good, all

right. i know you speak korean in the movie. did you speak korean like throughout your whole life or when you were little or what? >> yeah, i did, but it was one of those things where growing up here in l.a., i had become much more westernized and it kind of -- when i got the job that was a real panic of mine of, like, can i actually speak korean? >> jimmy: yeah, right. >> because you lose a little bit of that as you just live life here. it's just an essence of being bilingual and bicultural. so that was a -- >> jimmy: were your parents satisfied with -- >> my korean? that's the other thing with my mom. it had been months and months of training and working with this incredible woman sharon. i don't know if you remember her at the oscars. >> jimmy: right. >> her genius is she can translate jokes in realtime.

she's amazing. anyways, we were -- >> jimmy: hear that, guillermo? >> guillermo: yes, me too, yes. >> jimmy: needs a little help from me once in a while. >> oh, yeah, she's like the korean you. >> jimmy: we could open up a whole new market if he just paid attention for five seconds. >> guillermo: jimmy, i am. >> jimmy: you do a good job. so she helped you out -- is there she helped me out. but anyways, when the trailer came out for the movie and i send it to my parents, my mom asked me, she was like, well -- [ speaking non-english ] oh, interesting, it's korean. i had been telling her for like months what i was working on and like how vulnerable it is, like i was really -- a big part of my prep just like completely -- >> jimmy: i think what parents do, we don't listen to them for the first like 18 years of our lives and then they spend the next 40 not listening to us.

>> okay. [ applause ] >> jimmy: well, congratulations on everything. i hope your parents behave themselves at all these events. >> i guess we'll see. >> jimmy: greta lee, everybody.
