chris alvarez, all of us here. we appreciate your time as always. right now on jimmy kimmel kaley cuoco have a great night. previously on "jimmy kimmel live!" --

>> lou: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live!" tonight -- kaley cuoco, jake johnson, and music from annie bosko. with cleto and the cletones. and now, jimmy kimmel! >> jimmy: thank you! thank you. ♪ hello there. i'm jimmy. i'm the host of the show. happy new year. thank you for watching. thank you for joining us for our first show of 2024, which is already a crazy year, particularly for me. did you hear this story about me and aaron rodgers, the former quarterback for the packers? all right. what happened is he is a jets quarterback now.

he went on a show on espn, the pat mcafee show, and out of the blue insinuated that i was nervous because the jeffrey epstein list was coming out. he said i was hoping it wouldn't and that he was going to pop a bottle of something to celebrate when he did. and then it did come out, and of course, my name wasn't on it, isn't on it, and won't ever be on it. i don't know jeffrey epstein, i've never met jeffrey epstein. i am not on a list, i was not on a plane, or an island or anything ever. and i suggested that if he aaron wanted to make false and very damaging statements like that, that we should do it in court so he should share his proof with like a judge. when you hear a guy who won the super bowl and did all the statefarm commercials say something like this, a lot of people believe it. a lot of delusional people honestly believe i am meeting up with tom hanks and oprah's at shaky's once a week to eat piece za and drink the blood of children. and i know this because i hear from these people often. my wife hears from them. my kids hear from them.

my poor mailman hears from them. and now we're all hearing from lots more of them thanks to aaron rodgers, who i guess believes one of two things. either he actually believes my name was going to be on epstein's list, which is insane. or the more likely scenario is he doesn't actually believe it, he just said it because he's mad at me for making fun of his topknot. and his lies about being vaccinated. i guess he's particularly upset because i made fun of the fact that he floated the wacko idea that the ufo sightings that were in the news in february of last year were being reported to distract us from the epstein list. this was aaron's theory that he shared, and i mocked it. let me show you the moment that so badly bruised aaron's thanksgiving day parade-sized ego. >> needless to say, all this ufo talk has the tin foil hatters going wild, including green bay wack-packer aaron rodgers who offered this take on the pat mcafee show. >> i believe this has been going on for a long time.

interesting timing on everything. there is a lot of other things going on in the world. did you hear about the epstein client list about to be released too? >> what's that? what are you talking about? >> there is some files that have some names on it that might be getting released pretty soon. >> oh. >> jimmy: oh. might be time to revisit that concussion protocol, aaron. so he saw that, and maybe to retaliate, he decided to insinuate that i am a pedophile. this is how these nuts do it now. you don't like trump? you're a pedophile. and it shows you how much they actually care about pedophilia. here's the thing. i spent years doing sports. i've seen guys like him before. aaron rodgers has a very high opinion of himself. because he had success on the football field, he believes himself to be an extraordinary being. he genuinely thinks that because god gave him the ability to throw a ball, he is smarter than everyone else. the idea that his brain is just average is unfathomable to him. we learned during covid that

somehow he knows more about science than scientists. a guy who went to community college, then got into cal on a football scholarship and didn't graduate, someone who never spent a minute studying the human body is a expert in the field of immunology. he put on a magic helmet, and that g made him a genius. aaron got two "a's" on his report card and they were both in the word "aaron." okay. [ applause ] can you imagine that this hamster-brained man thinks he know what's the government is up to because he is a quarterback doing research on youtube and listening to podcasts. i looked it up, this is actually a thing. it's called the dunning-kruger effect. the dunning-kruger effect is "a cognitive bias in which people with limited competence in a particular domain overestimate their abilities." in other words, aaron rodgers is too arrogant to know how ignorant he is. they let him host jeopardy for

two weeks, now he knows everything. and by the way, i'm not one of those people who thinks athletes and members of the sports media should stick to talking about sports. i think aaron rodgers has the right to express any opinion he wants. but saying someone is a pedophile is not an opinion. nor is it "trash talk," sorry, pat mcafee. and as far as the "well you say things about people all the time" argument goes, yes, i do. it's not the same. it's not even close to the same. we say a lot of things on this show, but we don't make up lies. in fact, we have a team of people who work very hard to sift through the facts and reputable sources before i make a joke, and that's an important distinction, a joke about someone. even when that someone is donald trump. even a person who lies from the minute he wakes up until the minute he's smearing orange makeup on his mypillow at night deserves that consideration. and we give it to him. because the truth still matters to me. and when i do get something wrong, which happens on rare occasions, you know what i do? i apologize for it.

which is what aaron rodgers should do. which is what a decent person would do. but i bet he won't. if he does, you know what i'll do? i'll accept his apology and move on. but he probably won't. my guess is that he won't apologize. i hope i'm wrong. but that's how i think it will go. and i know you guys here in this audience, most, if not all of you, are on my side. and i appreciate that. i appreciate all the -- [ cheering ] -- all the nice things i've heard from so many people. but my real hope, the reason i even brought this up, is, i hope the many, many decent people out there who vote conservative or whatever you want to call what goes on now, i don't see anything conservative about any of this. but to those of you who are part of that, i want to say this, and i hope you'll listen and give it a little consideration. if you are a member of a group that thinks it's ok to randomly call someone a child molester because you don't like what that person has to say, maybe you should re-think being a part of that group. [ cheering and applause ]

i also want to say congratulations to aaron rodgers, who has done the impossible. he made the new york jets look worse. and by the way, if you're looking for someone who actually was a friend of jeffrey epstein, who called him a "terrific guy" and bragged about his affinity for younger women, i have good news, epstein hunters! i found one! ♪ >> there you go. just two fun guys checking out the ladies. nothing unsavory there. meanwhile, trump is getting more extreme and erratic every day. over the break, he mocked the late john mccain's physical

disability, one he suffered when he was a prisoner of war. he told families who were grieving at a school shooting in iowa to get over it the day after it happened and less importantly, but much more amusingly, former republican congressman adam kinzinger says donald trump smells! >> let's just start with your post, the odor, the stench, the stink. how bad is it? what do you know about that? >> yeah, i mean, it's not good. think about it. the best way to describe it. i've tried to like -- take like armpits, ketchup, like a butt, and kind of put it in a blender and makeup. and put that all in a blender, and that's -- and you bobbttle that as a cologne. that's kind of that. >> now we know why melania is always making that face. we are also getting new updates on what dame doody stench was up to - during the attack on the capitol. new information from the special

souns suggested that trump somehow did even less to stop the insurrection - than the nothing we already knew he did. when he was told that mike pence had to be rushed to a secure location to get away from the maga hordes, his former aid, nick luna, trump's former investigators so what. they also heard testimony from trump's deputy chief of staff at the time, dan scavino - who said having to explain to trump - that the american people weren't receiving the riots well was not comfortable. but then, again, dan scavino ever come off comfortable? he has what they call resting "i just sat on my balls" face. saturday was the three year anniversary of the january 6th attack, and it was also eric trump's 40th birthday. two things trump could have and should have stopped. but it was trump's birthday. it was a lot of fun. they sang and then dad came and played pin the crime on his sons. trump has been making the rounds in iowa ahead of the caucus round on monday. and if you were into the idea of

building a wall, well, wait until you hear this. >> we're going to build a giant dome over our country to protect us from a hostile source. it's going to be a great thing. it's all going to be made in the united states. that's something that i consider productive. these geniuses sit down. most of them are theft from m.i.t. but they sit down. it's god. it's amazing. i think we could use one. do you like that? isn't that better than giving other countries billions of dollars? billions. we're going give millions of dollars to other countries so they can build a dome, but we don't have a dome ourselves. we're going have the greatest dome ever. >> jimmy: what a dome-ass, really. [ applause ] . i don't know. i guess it's possible he's referring to an israeli-style iron dome which is a missile defense system. but it's more likely he thinks we should turn the country into an aquarium. you know, he gets on these jags where he brings up weird things

over and over again. late hi he's been stuck on al capone. he keeps mentioning al capone who he is now even playfully referring to alphonse capone. >> alphonse capone, he was so nasty that if he had dinner with mike lindell and that beautiful smile he had, al might think it was mocking type smile. mike would be dead tomorrow morning. nobody would know. mike, it would be so painful. >> jimmy: poor mike lindell is like thanks, maybe i should go home or something? i don't know. that wasn't even the most nonsensical thing trump said this weekend. the most nonsensical thing he said was this >> i could tell you about the elevate owners a tremendous aircraft carrier, the gerald ford, and they decided not to use tide hydraulics line the john deere tractor. they decided we're going to use magnets to lift up the elevators. all i know is magnets, give me a glass of water, let me drop it in the magnets. that's the end of the magnets.

>> jimmy: i'm sorry. i didn't know. i didn't know if you dropped the glass of water on the magnets, that's the end of the magnets. we should probably test this hypothesis, right? [ cheering ] all right. if you're game, i think it's time now for guillermo's science corner. guillermo? >> guillermo: thank you, jimmy. this is a magnet. and this is a glass of water that i'm going to pour it on the magnet. now we try the magnet again. [ cheering ] >> jimmy: so wait a minute. are you saying -- wait, the president, he said that was the end of the magnet. was that the end of the magnet? >> guillermo: no, that was not the end of the magnet. >> jimmy: so what did we learn? >> guillermo: we learned that donald trump is a dumbass.

back to you in the studio, jimmy. >> jimmy: thank you, guillermo. all right. we have a fun show tonight. tonight jake johnson is with us. [ cheering ] we've got bosko, and i'll be right back with kaley cuoco so stick around. ♪ abc's "jimmy kimmel live!" brought to you by nissan.

how old is your daughter? >> nine months old. >> jimmy: nine months old. >> i can't believe it. >> jimmy: not into harry yet. >> but she does love music. i feel like that's coming. >> jimmy: kids music or real music? >> she likes real music. >> jimmy: she does? >> yes. she is obsessed with dancing. she loves all of it. >> jimmy: kids are funny when they're dancing. >> she does this. she's got one move, although i only have one move too. so i think she gets it from me. like this. >> jimmy: are you enjoying being a mother? >> oh, my gosh, it's incredible. it's incredible. a lot of judgments. >> jimmy: is there? >> yes. >> jimmy: who is judging you? let's go through names. >> i'm here to call them out. no, i feel like everyone judges what you do with your kid. for instance. >> jimmy: under the guise of concern? >> well, sure, exactly. we flew with her recently. it was our first flight ever with this baby. >> jimmy: the best thing about having kids is traveling with them. >> isn't that fun? i realize it's the most fun thing you could do. we were very terrified. >> jimmy: this was over

christmas? >> over thanksgiving. i was so terrified. i thought we have to bring her sound machine on the plane. >> jimmy: okay. >> it's the only thing she can go to sleep to. to actually turn it on so she'll fall asleep on the plane. >> jimmy: a plane some might argue is in itself a sound machine. there is a lot of hissing going on. >> it's funny. when i turned the machine on the plane, i realized i couldn't tell the difference. you're right. the plane is very loud. we put it next to her ear. it's the only thing that will get her to go to sleep. we're having one of those flights that you hear what other people have and ew, that sucks for them. she is crying. it was hard. she finally falls asleep, and she son tom, and the sound machine is on, and we're finally like oh. the steward comes over. hey, one of our passengers would love it if you would turn the sound machine off. >> jimmy: really? >> and i'm sitting there. tom's got her. and i'm sitting there, oh my

god, oh my god. i can feel tom be like hey, ask the passenger if she wants to hold our screaming child when we turn off. the ice went into his veins. i was just sitting there. i couldn't believe, by the way, she asked us to turn it off. >> jimmy: that is so crazy. >> can you believe that? >> jimmy: what a terrible job to have to be a flight attendant and have to deliver a message of that type. >> can you -- i can't believe. i can't believe she came over and said that to us. we were so angry. >> jimmy: i bet. >> so then we landed. and it was the woman right in front of us. so we get up. now matilda is like ha ha, life is great. and the lady goes, "oh, so your daughter does know how to smile." it was in that moment where i understood why women end up on "dateline." i could have -- >> jimmy: was that your first time where it touches a nerve? because it happens all the time. it will happen like in the playland at mcdonald's.

it will happen at the park. it will happen over and over again where somebody does something to your kid, and you experience an emotion that you didn't even know you had. >> that was the moment. you're right. i've seen other people struggle with this sort of thing. your kids, oh, that must be so hard. this moment i could have thrown that woman off the plane. >> jimmy: people who get mad at babies on planes, because first of all, what are you going to do? it's not like they. and secondly, are you supposed to never fly? and aren't you at one time a baby? >> it's crazy. you see all these things on social media where people are really truly getting mad at babies. justice for babies. this is ridiculous. leave them alone! [ cheering ] >> jimmy: yeah. >> it's crazy. >> jimmy: do you read like all the books? do you have a stack of books by the bed? >> no. >> jimmy: none of them? >> my friends think i'm a mother of 10. that's how i've acted. it's so bad. i know i'm going to get rehmed for this. i didn't read a single book. i don't know if i know how to

sanitize something. she is fine. it's crazy. another flight i was on, god, i got a lot of flight stories. another flight i was sitting next to a couple with their baby who was about six months at the time. i knew our flight was coming up. i was oh my good, how are you going to do this? are you going to put some tv on for the kid? oh, no, we dent allow tv for our kid. i was thinking matilda just watched the first season of "succession" last week. um, okay. so are we not supposed to do that? i don't understand. i'm not kidding. we watched the finale. she was oh my god. but they were no, we don't allow. >> jimmy: a big fan of cousin greg. >> loves cousin greg. was really shocked at the finale. i told her the show was over, she cried. but, like, oh, we don't. okay. i think i'm doing everything the opposite than people are doing. come on. >> jimmy: there are people who are doing and they like to tell

you about it. >> they do. >> jimmy: i remember watching a lot of television as a kid. and i think here's the thing. it used to be oh, don't watch television. you got to read books. that's how the kids have to read books. now i think television is books, and ipads are television. >> yes, i agree! i agree. >> jimmy: keep them off the ipad. yeah, put her in front of the television, no problem at all. >> she loves her ipad too. >> jimmy: oh, she's got an ipad! >> she's watching everything. i have no shame. i don't care. as long as she is not crying. >> jimmy: does she know how to operate the ipad? >> she is getting really good. she can move. the hands move. >> jimmy: you know, you don't realize how good you're making a lot of people feel right now. >> i hope so. >> jimmy: you're making a lot of parents feel really good about what they're doing. >> one or the other, we'll see. a lot of judgment. stop judges the moms out there. come on, guys. let them watch "succession." >> jimmy: what about tom? >> tom is the opposite of me.

tom is much safer than me. so it helps. i've got the safe parent and then the me. she is nine months old. he still holds her where her head won't fall. honey, i think her head is okay. you hold her like a sack of potatoes. i put her over my shoulder, but both of our parenting skills equals one good parent. >> jimmy: are the grandparents involved in your child's upbringing? >> yes. my daughter has the most amazing grandparents. tom's mom's boyfriend who i love who i met before i met tom -- not before, when i met tom. that would have been weird. when i first actually met tom's mom's boyfriend, his name is john, who i love. when i first met them, i walked in, and he was looking at me kind of funny. and he said hi, penny. he started cawing me penny. people do that, they're always knocking at me and things. so hours go on. and tom brings you a side later. i have no idea why john is calling you a penny. i am so embarrassed right now. i told him your name multiple

times. i said no, he likes big theory. tom said what do you mean? that's the moment i knew tom had never seen "the big bang theory." you know what? he can call me penny. it's all good. >> jimmy: it sounds like tom might need more screen time.

does that give you a lot of street cred with kids? >> yes. just not the face. but everyone -- >> jimmy: do the parents come up and go do you know who he is? >> you know what happen, jimmy, every once in a while i'll be in line. >> jimmy: yeah? >> and i'll see a little kid. and i'll say something. and i'll see a little boy go -- and i'll do the. >> jimmy: really? >> you know, my man. your parents don't. it's a really fun thing doing voiceover, because you can. during the pandemic, i would call. i would leave voice mail as peter b. parker. so i could say to kids, hey, this is peter. i'm here in queens. we're thinking of you. and then i could get videos and kids were like oh my god! peter's real! and if they see me, nah, he is not real. >> jimmy: you started a podcast. >> yes. >> jimmy: during covid, right? >> no, during the strike.

>> jimmy: oh, during the strike. so more recent than that. >> with the great gar reynolds. >> jimmy: the great gareth reynolds. how long have you known each other? >> 20 years. we used to do improv. we were at the rustic inn. dive bar. thank you. no round of applause? and we were sitting there drinking together. we were both clowns in our show. i said hey, you want to pour these beers on our own heads? and gareth goes yeah, man. so we went like this. and poured. and i thought wow, the first guy who's truly as dumb as me. so we started a podcast where we give advice. true story. >> jimmy: you do give advice. >> it's a lot of fun. >> jimmy: and i'm sure people say to you why would you give people advice? but why would anybody give any advice? >> that's how we see it. who needs a therapist? our kind of whole pitch is imagine you go to a bar and you've got a couple of drunk friends. we're there to pitch ideas. it might not be the right idea,

but maybe the wrong idea gets you to the right place. who knows? i don't know. >> jimmy: no one will ever know, really. >> we're just pitching, jimmy. >> jimmy: yeah. >> if you take the advice we have to put a disclaimer. that was gareth's idea at the end that says "be an adult. only take this advice if you like it,." because it finished and he is honestly, what are we doing? these are real people with real problems. we're pitching like idiots. >> jimmy: do you have any idea who is calling in, what their problem was beforehand? >> no. we were doing that at first, but then we would plan bits and it sucked. >> jimmy: but then do people call in with really serious problems? >> we also had that. and those also sucked. i don't know what to do. maybe get divorced. truly don't care. i'm not a therapist. so our producer kevin started finding them. and they have to be pretty stupid. one of them was a woman's husband flosses in the living

room. and it's because his parents do it too. so the whole family flosses in the living room. what do i do? that's wheel house for us. >> jimmy: that's for you guys. >> it's such a stupid problem, but it's also disgusting. i'm actually with you. so we said do bathroom activities out there too. >> jimmy: oh. >> so if they want -- if he wants to floss when he flosses, paint your nails. you want to push it, buddy, i'll wipe my butt out here. how weird do you want to get, jack? so we're pitching really serious stuff. >> jimmy: now what happened with the -- the guy who looks like you. >> yeah, the fake jake saga. >> jimmy: fake jake. >> i got a dm from a girl who said it was really great meeting you at the rain dance festival. >> jimmy: okay. >> some 20-year-old kid. wasn't me. and she said yes, it was. and you gave such great advice, and you were so sweet. and i go it really wasn't me. and i said if you met me, did

you take a photo with me? and she goes i did. so she sent a photo of the man who she was with. >> jimmy: who? -- who does indeed resemble you. >> i showed my wife that. and she honestly goes, the eyes are there. and so he with a group of his friends were hanging out with her. he was not a creep. i asked did he try to person out. she said no. it would have been a different story if he did. but he was pretending to be me all night. but my favorite part was -- >> jimmy: you think he set out to pretend to be you? >> we had this dude on the podcast. >> jimmy: oh, okay. >> because we found him. >> jimmy: wow. impressive. >> because his friend owns a knockoff viagra company called mango. all facts. >> jimmy: so there is a lot of knocking off going on. >> yes. so we found him, got in touch with fake jake and had fake jake on the podcast. a lot of it, he read my credits.

he knew a lot of it. he got two things wrong. one, he is a poet, and he writes love poems. and he said we, jake have, slept with 500 supermodels. also, they bought drinks for everybody. gareth was like would never be jake. if you meet jake in a bar, he will not buy you drinks, and he has not slept with hundreds of supermodels. >> jimmy: i don't think there are 500 supermodels. >> i will say to him or any other fake jakes, keep that lie going. >> jimmy: yes. >> if you're pretending to be me, we've slept with the hottest of hot and we were half a show again. and what's really funny is people are, uh, spotting him out and taking photos of him. m. so they're like got him again. he's dealing with paparazzi! what an amazing turn of events. >> jimmy: in your movie, you have a fake ellen degeneres? >> yes, we do. we have a fake ellen.

>> jimmy: is that inspired by this? >> no. >> jimmy: where do you find a fake ellen deyenr >> i was looking at fake oprah's. i was looking at fake lettermans. >> jimmy: oh. >> but the problem is in the scene, they have to do an impersonation of the person, and then turn and attack me. because it's a comedic thriller. so i realize a lot of people can do an impersonation. they then can't turn and be violent. >> jimmy: really? >> so the fake oprah's are great at saying "everybody gets a gift" but they can't do "get in the f'ing car" as oprah. so this one woman nailed it, and we decided to write it as lines, really bad at memorizing lines. really bad at memorizing. doesn't have a lot of range. >> jimmy: so wait a minute. you wrote the movie, and yet you

had trouble recalling the lines? [ laughter ] >> yeah. i got a bad brain. that's why i do a podcast where i get lines. i would literally do it and forget a line and who wrote this crap? i think we can do it better if we just improvise it, no? >> jimmy: the movie is about a reality show that i can't believe doesn't exist somewhere. >> i think it will. >> jimmy: in the world. >> it's about a guy who goes on a dark web show where they're hunting him for his life, and he has 30 days to survive. if he survives, he wins. and if they kill him, they kill him. but the catch is he cannot be killed if he is with somebody. so for him it's a very easy win. he'll just be with his family the whole time. then the 30 days goes up, he gets a million dollars. he tells his family. they don't believe him because he is going through a loney phase. so they say this is a weird excuse to hang out with you all the time and we're not doing it. and now he is in a situation where he has to find a way to survive. so he hires, who he hangs out, he finds a love interest played

by anna kendrick. and then the movie happens. >> jimmy: congratulations. very impressive. you put all this together. or maybe your impersonator did. somebody put this together. >> fake jake did a wonderful job. he and i are doing the weirdest racket, man. he is backstage controlling me, telling me what to do. >> jimmy: the movie is called "self reliance." it premieres friday on hulu. jake johnson, the real one. we'll be back with annie bosko. e episodes. one killer drunk. >> i wouldn't have it any other way. >> marvel (♪) it's that feeling when you're at disneyland resort. now, kids 3-9 can visit a disneyland resort theme park with a limited-time kids' special ticket offer.
