open in the bay area, which means you can expect to find a local crab at the store and on restaurant menus. there are initial reports the crabs being brought in are a little bit bigger than they were last year. that story is one of the top things people are clicking on right now on our website. it is up for you on the top news sidebar at abc seven news.com. all right. that is going to do it for tonight. we thank you so much for watching. i'm ama daetz right now on jimmy kimmel john oliver. have a great night. a wonderful weekend. go niners and try to stay dry and safe. see you everyone previously on "jimmy kimmel live" --

>> do you want me to unroll you? >> no. i will do it. >> lou: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live!" tonight -- john oliver, danielle brooks, guillermo at the emmys. and music from pete yorn. with cleto and the cletones. and now, jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: hi, i'm jimmy, i'm the host. thank you for watching. thank you for coming in from the cold to be with us tonight. [ cheers and applause ] i welcome you. i see -- you know, 80% of the country right now is in the grip of what they call an arctic

blast, which is a very dangerous weather pattern not to be confused with arctic blitz. which is a wiper fluid-colored flavor of gatorade. [ laughter ] it was even cold here in los angeles. it got down to 53 today. it was really scary. we were freezing our yoga balls off today. [ laughter ] the weather was a big factor for the nfl this weekend. there was so much snow in buffalo, the league had to postpone sunday's wild card game. and the bills had to offer fans $20 an hour and free food to help clear the snow out of the stadium so they could get people into this. this guy. he's dead now, but it was totally worth it. [ laughter ] the fans in buffalo really outdid themselves. people talk about the fans in philadelphia. these guys cleared out all the snow except for in the sections reserved for visiting fans. [ laughter ] when the steelers fans showed up, they came all the way from pittsburgh, they had to trudge through the snow to even get to theirs.

like the donner tailgate party. [ laughter ] then they lost the game, 31-17. they had to trudge all the way back home. if you listen closely, you can still hear their wives yelling at them. [ laughter ] it was minus 4 degrees at the kansas city chiefs game on saturday. somebody shot video. i've never seen anything like this before. someone shot video of a bottle of water. pulls it out of the refrigerator, and it actually got colder out of the refrigerator. in about ten seconds, the whole thing turned into ice, a phenomenon they call freezing. [ laughter ] you'd think arrowhead stadium would have arrowhead water. all this time i thought it was named -- they're getting like a free deal over there. the cold weather was no fun for the miami dolphins. they're used to warmth. they were held to only one touchdown, which was the subject of much discussion on "nfl game day" with chris rose and maurice jones-drew. >> this is far and away the best defense patrick mahomes has had, right? is it possible they could ride the "d"? >> i -- i --.

>> the defense? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: you really have to have a dirty mind to immediately make that leap. ♪ a, b, c, d -- what? ♪ >> jimmy: speaking of "d," no one was more upset than fans of dallas. my all-time favorite quarterback jordan love knocked off the cowboys at home, another exit for dallas. their fans were none too pleased. [ laughter ] >> [ bleep ]ing piece of [ bleep ], [ bleep ]. >> taking all this off. >> [ bleep ]. we had a whole [ bleep ]. >> what are you doing? what the -- oh my god. [ bleep ].

>> jimmy: yeah. relax, it was a vizio, so no harm. [ laughter ] in iowa, many caucuses were held yesterday. if you've ever wondered what is the polar opposite of mlk day, it's the iowa republican caucus. [ laughter ] this is how they get the votes. you write a name on a piece of paper and drop it in a grocery bag. the same people who are screaming about dominion voting machines are digging through a brown paper sack from stop and shop. [ laughter ] to decide who will be president. then they drop all the names into a popcorn bucket, they find the baldest guy they can to count them aloud. >> ramaswamy. trump. haley. haley. >> jimmy: those were about the only two votes haley got. [ laughter ] as was expected, trump won the caucus tiny-handily. [ laughter ] even though he barely spent any

time in iowa, it somehow made voters love him more. it's the same strategy he used raising eric and don jr. [ laughter ] trump got 51% of the vote in iowa. and even though it doesn't mean much, you know, in 2016, ted cruz won the iowa caucus. now he lives at the bottom of an aquarium. [ laughter ] trump was a very happy and even gracious winner. >> but these caucuses are your personal chance to score the ultimate victory over all of the liars, cheaters, thugs, perverts, frauds, crooks, creeps, and other quite nice people. >> jimmy: oh. like he's reading his own linkedin resume. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] i mean, seriously. no self-awareness whatsoever. let's go through those one by one. >> the ultimate victory over all of the liars -- >> yeah. >> cheaters. >> jimmy: yeah. >> thugs. >> jimmy: yeah. >> perverts. >> jimmy: yes. >> frauds. >> jimmy: yeah. >> crooks. >> jimmy: yep. >> freaks.

>> jimmy: eh -- >> creeps. >> jimmy: yep. >> and other quite nice people. >> jimmy: yeah, that's him. [ laughter ] that's exactly him. that's the guy. [ applause ] trump was feeling pretty maga-nanimous last night about his republican opponents. even going so far as to predict they will rally behind him. >> we're going to come together. it's going to happen soon, too. >> jimmy: yeah. that's the same lie he told stormy daniels right before he fell asleep. [ moans and laughter ] [ rim shot. >> jimmy: thank you. ron desantis, who was expected to be left for dead, came in second place with 21% of the vote, followed by nikki haley, who, with a disappointing 19% of the vote, definitely wins the award for "glass half full of it." >> i can safely say, tonight i would make this republican primary a two-person race. >> jimmy: well, if it did, you're not one of them. [ laughter ] you came in third. vivek ramaswamy only managed to

get 8% of the vote. and he has now officially dropped out of the race. i'll hold for applause. [ laughter and applause ] but it wasn't for lack of trying. he spent a lot of time in iowa and before voting began yesterday, he went on twitter to remind voters how much is at stake. as iowans got ready to vote, he wrote, "there are two genders. and no, a man cannot become a woman." what is that, a note to self? [ laughter ] i mean -- neither of them voted for you. this guy is a piece of work. even though he was running against trump, he never missed an opportunity to plant one on his big orange ass. >> earlier tonight i called donald trump to tell him that i congratulate him on his victory. >> jimmy: and that call went straight to voicemail. [ laughter ] that did not -- he's never gonna hook up with you, dude, it's not going to happen. [ laughter ] after his big win in iowa last night, trump was back in court today with the woman who accused him of sexually assaulting her in the '90s.

she won the first of what could be many defamation trials. this one is to decide how much he's going to have to pay her. could be over $10 million. and he's almost out of lawyers. he's got a lot of trials coming up. he lost three lawyers this week. his lead lawyer, joey tacopina, quit and took a couple of the other lawyers. he lost joey taco! [ laughter ] how do you lose joey taco? who's even left? vinnie pepperoni? [ laughter ] "your honor, i will now be represented by the law firm of linguini and clams." [ laughter ] we went to the emmys last night. it was quite a night. right, guillermo? our pal anthony anderson hosted the show and did a great job. [ cheers and applause ] the big winners were "succession," "beef," "the bear" and the buccaneers. [ laughter ] not too many people watched because of the football game. which was a shame because our show "jimmy kimmel live" won eleven emmys last night. [ cheers and applause ] thank you. best variety talk series, best

scripted variety series, best directing in a variety talk series, best non-fiction series or special, best writing in a variety series, best supporting actress in a comedy series, and most improved host. no. we didn't win any awards. [ laughter ] we lost for the 12th year in a row in every category. [ add: moaning ] but thanks for believing we might have won, i'm as honored as you are gullible. [ applause ] we had to narrow it down. there were two big stars of the night. anthony anderson's mother doris who is very funny. and our very own guillermo who continued his time-honored tradition -- [ cheers and applause ] of lurking backstage with tequila to chat up the winners and get them drunk. he's basically the opposite of a dui checkpoint. [ laughter ] and once again, here he is interviewing the winners as only guillermo can, "back to back." >> back to back! >> guillermo: you see me? >> yes, i see you. >> guillermo: congratulations.

>> thank you so much. >> jimmy: you play a teach our your show? >> right. >> guillermo: i want to be the teacher's pet. i brought you a present. i brought you an apple. look. >> thank you. >> guillermo: okay, that's an apple. >> what's with this? >> guillermo: it's a very special apple. >> is that alcohol in it? >> guillermo: anejo apple. you drink a little bit -- >> oh my god. >> guillermo: yeah. >> is that tequila? >> guillermo: it's a mexican apple, yeah. [ laughter ] >> my fears are telling me not to, the apple is telling me yes. >> guillermo: i think you've got to celebrate, yeah. >> best ever. >> guillermo: you've got to [ bleep ]. >> oh! >> we look like one of those half and half-cookies at the deli. >> guillermo: you were eating when you got the emmy. what were you eating? >> i was eating dried mango. >> guillermo: you want to keep eating? you want to eat more? >> i like to eat.

>> snack to snack! >> back to back snack pack basket. you know what, you keep the trophy, i'll take the basket. >> guillermo: perfect, that sound good. >> thanks, dude. >> guillermo: back to back, yeah. want to play a game? it's called "truth or tequila." >> let me just tell you. >> guillermo: yeah? >> i want the tequila, what do we do about that? >> guillermo: i can give you the tequila right now. >> i want to start there, just tequila. i don't care about the truth, this is all i care about right now. >> guillermo: would you like to play "truth or tequila?" tell me the truth or drink a tequila. >> okay. >> guillermo: who's the worst actor in your show? >> i'm taking one. [ laughter ] all right, ready? >> guillermo: yeah. >> okay. >> guillermo: all right, can i get a kiss in the mirror? >> sure. >> guillermo: thank you so much. you're a very good kisser.

your husband, producer -- >> and his manager. >> guillermo: so you guys have a, how do you call it -- >> egot. emmy, grammy, oscar, tony. >> guillermo: nice meeting you, hi to your husband. maybe we should facetime him. congratulations. how are you? congratulations. >> thank you. i'm so thrilled and happy. >> guillermo: he's in england? >> he's in england. >> guillermo: what time is it over there? >> 4:00. >> guillermo: oh, wow. >> enjoy the rest of your evening, you guys. >> thank you, darling. congratulations. >> guillermo: i hope you go back to sleep. how does it feel to be an emmy winner? >> i feel very, very, very fortunate. i feel very grateful. >> guillermo: you feel thirsty? >> i mean -- my throat's a bit parched, now that i think about it. >> guillermo: i have a solution for you. >> tell me, sir. those are my parents. >> guillermo: where are your parents? >> right over there. >> guillermo: did they want to come in? hi, parents! have you ever done a tequila

shot with your daughter? >> no. >> guillermo: all right, let's do it right now. here, here, here. this will never happen again. >> this literally won't ever happen again. >> guillermo: what about your beautiful wife? >> sure. >> wow. >> wow. >> guillermo: that was amazing, right? >> thank you, guillermo. i've had shots with my parents. >> yes. >> guillermo: i'm here with the cast of "bears." "snack to snack" with the cast of "the bears." anybody want to do a toast? >> no. >> no, no. >> not right now. >> guillermo: let's go. i'm going to ask a question. you think you'll tell me the truth? >> sounds good. >> guillermo: have you ever faked an orgasm? [ laughter ] >> guillermo: so listen, i'm launching my security company. >> yeah? >> guillermo: i want you to be my celebrity endorsement.

so i want you to read this card to the camera. >> sure, sure. in a changing world, you need a voice of security. bringing tomorrow's security technology to the full front of innovation. with proactivision to drive secure outcomes, guillermo advanced security solutions. one time someone broke into my car, and guillermo hit them with a hammer. that's a crime, guillermo. >> guillermo: it is? >> you can't fight crimes with crimes, you're not batman. guillermo is like a robocop, except he isn't a robot or a cop. i was the victim of a cyberattack, and guillermo said, "that sucks." that's not a solution, guillermo, that's a comment. when guillermo's around, i feel safer drunk because he makes me drink with him. is guillermo's solution alcohol in any situation? is that what it's really about? you turning up after a home invasion with casamigos? when it comes to staying safe,

thubs are there's two thing it trust. condoms, and guillermo. both may break at your most vulnerable times. >> guillermo: all right. get out of here. like you guys say in english, [ bleep ] off. [ laughter ] >> we do say that, guillermo. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: you've done it again, guillermo. >> guillermo: thank you, jimmy. >> jimmy: we have a fun show tonight. from "the color purple," danielle brooks is here.

serious side effects include allergic reactions, post-injection reactions, liver problems, and depression. if you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms, stop cabenuva and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have liver problems or mental health concerns, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. some of the most common side effects include injection-site reactions, fever, and tiredness. if you switch to cabenuva, attend all treatment appointments. it feels good to just live in the moment. with every-other-month cabenuva, i'm good to go. ask your doctor about cabenuva today. who says you can't go for bold without going broke... get the brands you want, the prices you want, whenever you want. tj maxx where you can always afford to be you to the maxx. can i get the 10 piece chicken mcnuggets? wait, no, big mac. hmm.

>> jimmy: a whac-a-mole thing. >> i'm sitting on the duffy. thanks. thank you. let's agree to disagree. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: i heard you backstage. while i was reading the promos during the commercial breaks -- >> oh my god, i love this so much. >> jimmy: i will read the promos for the local affiliates. you were laughing hysterically. >> yes, it's a thousand-yard stare in your eyes. the complete and emotional depth of, "hi, gwen in philly." [ laughter ] the whole of coming here tonight was worth it just to witness that. just the emotional implosion. "barry in san antonio."

>> jimmy: we did barry in san antonio, yeah. he'll work his way up to l.a. eventually. >> sure he will, sure, yeah. >> jimmy: thank you for helping guillermo with his new business venture, that was very kind. >> of course. a thing i look forward to, genuinely, the most at the emmys every year is seeing guillermo and undergoing the chaos. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: that is nice. >> because so much, so much [ bleep ] at the emmys. so many people saying things they don't mean. >> jimmy: like what? >> you know, "we love the show." [ laughter ] you go through that, just to have guillermo as a palate cleanser at the end, looking you in the eyes and saying [ bleep ] off feels like gold to me. >> guillermo: yeah, exactly! [ bleep ]. >> he meant it last night, he means it even more now. >> jimmy: congratulations on the emmys. >> thanks, buddy, appreciate it. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: first of all, you're just great. what you do is unbelievably incredible.

i want to let you know a little something. i think you have kind of an inkling, a hint of this -- >> i'm in the braced position already yeah. >> jimmy: if you had any idea how much we -- when i say we, i mean the network talk show hosts, you know who i'm talking about. >> yes. >> jimmy: all our friends complain about you being in our category because you do, i don't know, 12 shows a year, half-hour each show -- >> it's a lot more than that. >> jimmy: it's a lot more than that, i know, i'm exaggerating. we're like, this is crazy, it's not fair, why are we in the category with him? they move you out of our category, guess what, we all lost again. [ laughter and applause ] >> yep. >> jimmy: which in a way hurt a whole lot more. >> at least when i was there, there was an excuse and you could all think you were second. >> jimmy: i know. [ laughter ] that's the thing. >> oh, i'm just one away. it was a healthier situation. >> jimmy: i swear to god, i was washing the dishes this morning, i had that very thought. if they put out the rankings -- if it was like the olympics and you knew you didn't even get

bronze, it would be a terrible thing. >> yeah. >> jimmy: i think we made a terrible mistake. >> yeah, i think it's much better to have me there as a villain to blame. >> jimmy: yes. >> than have to confront your own feelings. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: do the folks at hbo appreciate you and your show and what you do? >> i think -- i'm really grateful that we won the emmys, because i do think the emmys are the only thing stopping them from getting rid of us. [ laughter ] at least each year the academy makes it harder for them to do that. every time they say congratulations, it is done with gritted teeth. one more year, i'll put the sword back in my sheath. >> jimmy: you say that in a joking way, but i know there's definitely some truth -- >> there's definitely some truth to that. >> jimmy: real truth there. >> i think there is a part of them that would like us gone. but they can't, because, ding, ding, golden things. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: and people love the show. and it's important for their credibility to keep you on. and yet you do bite the hand that feeds you very, very regularly.

>> you know. you know as well as i do, there is no tastier hand. [ laughter ] i'm like a badly behaving dog. i'll take the treat, i'll take your fingernails too. >> jimmy: you -- did the lawyer -- is there a team of lawyers specifically assigned to your show? >> yes, definitely, yeah, yeah. >> jimmy: how often do you meet with them? >> not -- i mean -- they -- we interact with each other. we don't meet in the same place. i don't think that would be safe. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: okay. >> but yeah, in the week running up to the stories we've been working on for a month, we tell them what they're doing. there's normally a deep sigh on the other end of the phone. you can hear [ bleep ]. oh, what are you going to say about bezos? that's interesting. >> jimmy: so you wait until the week before the show before you reveal, then they have to figure things out? >> yeah, i think the tension between us comes from those -- i think we have two different opinions of what their job is. i think they think their job is to stop us from getting sued. i think their job is to make sure that when we are sued, we win.

[ laughter ] and the distance between those two things is where the fighting is. >> jimmy: and also just on a human level. there's no incentive for them to say, yes, go ahead and do that. >> no. >> jimmy: because they're not up there getting emmys. you've got a lot of emmys. maybe throw those guys a few trophies to get them excited. >> i think lawyers are already adequately rewarded. [ laughter ] in this country, yeah. i think the last thing lawyers need is more encouragement to litigate this country to death. >> jimmy: did they ever laugh on these zooms or whatever you guys have? no? >> no, there's more -- i'm not trying to make our lawyers laugh, i'm trying to bring them to a point of acceptance. [ laughter ] understand the things that you cannot change and live with that. >> jimmy: we're going to take a break. when we come back from the break, i want to talk to you about this podcast that we did together. >> yes. >> jimmy: over the strike. and some of the things that i learned about you during that time. >> oh-oh, sure. >> jimmy: we didn't know each other that well. >> yeah. >> jimmy: i feel now we know each other a lot better. john oliver is with us.

[ thunder ] >> somewhere, seth meyers died inside.

[ laughter ] >> jimmy: that's right, seth hated the thunder and lightning show sound effects. >> so much. >> jimmy: yet in a way i think he grew to love -- >> i think he missed it, but he'd go to his grave saying it was better without it. >> jimmy: i disagree. but were you at all hesitant to do this? >> oh, sure. it sounds like a terrible idea. [ laughter ] five verbal steamrollers just smashing into each other? it does feel like, this isn't going to go well. but ended up being a lot more fun. >> jimmy: it took us a few episodes to figure it out all. eventually we each became a different character. >> then it got fun. then right towards the end, it started getting tense. and it feels like we were one more show away from getting into a fight. [ laughter ] and i think that, in many ways, is the tragedy of the writers' strike ending when it did. one more week, and you could have seen something. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: there was also an episode where we invited conan to be on the podcast with us. >> yeah. >> jimmy: then we forgot to tell

him to call into the podcast. so then he was not on the podcast. >> i know, exactly. then he could have gone on the podcast, then you basically matt damoned him off. >> jimmy: that's right. wow, he's in good company, i have to say. okay, so what i learned about you was something i did not expect at all, that you have a very juvenile sense of humor. >> yes. >> jimmy: like to the point -- because you do these shows, you really dig deep into these subjects that most of us know nothing about. never even occurred to us to know anything about these things. and yet there was a time where all five of us are on zoom looking at each other and you are laughing so hard that your face is no longer even in the zoom screen. all i see are your feet poking up. [ laughter ] >> yes. >> jimmy: you're laughing so hard, you're upside down. >> yeah, it was full-on a muppet reaction. suddenly kermit's feet come back up. >> jimmy: yes, i really was -- i have to say, i fell in love with you. >> yeah, i love any kind of moments of silliness or awkwardness that were there.

that's why i was so inclined last night -- as soon as i realized that antony's mom was going to yell at you if you went too long, i'm definitely going too long then, i want to be yelled at. >> jimmy: for those who didn't see, anthony anderson's mom in the audience at the emmys -- everyone was watching the football game so they missed everything. her job was to yell at people for going on too long. >> a really great straw poll for the academy, no one in this audience watched the emmys. i mean, nobody. [ laughter ] it might have just been a live theatrical event. >> jimmy: it's getting there. it's headed in that direction. but you do always go until they tell you you have to get off, right? >> yeah, because the best moment is the moment of awkwardness. >> jimmy: yeah. >> you know this to a fault, right? they're so polished. what you want is just a moment of genuine chaos. as soon as i realize she'd yell at you if you talked too long, i don't know what i'm going to do with this speech, i do know i'm going to end by getting yelled at. >> jimmy: you promised your kids a gift.

>> oh, yeah, yes. >> jimmy: you were going to go home but you have to bring a gift home. how old are the kids? >> 5 and 8. >> jimmy: 5 and 8 years old and you promised them -- >> i left them yesterday, they were really sad when i left. "can you just bring me a pokemon card?" "i'll totally do that." i don't know anywhere to get pokemon cards in l.a. here's a large group of people, maybe someone here will know. >> jimmy: did anyone give you any tips? >> yes, a guy at the governor's ball said, "i have a pokemon card for you." he pulled a single card. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: out of his -- >> out the back of his phone, "here it is." amazing. i was so touched. i hugged him. then he kind of disappeared into the crowd. it didn't hit me, why is an adult carrying a single pokemon card around? i guess in the anticipation he might one day be able to fulfill somebody's dream here. [ laughter ] does this fill the hole in your life? actually, it does, yes, thank you very much.

>> jimmy: you can't have one -- you can't bring home one pokemon card, that would be a problem for you, wouldn't it? you've got two kids. >> yeah, so they each get half a pokemon card. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: we did get you some -- i don't know how you're -- >> no way. >> jimmy: -- going to get into this carry-on, but we got you pokemon. >> oh my god. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: it's like the oprah show here. >> they're going to -- they're going to learn all the wrong lessons from this. [ laughter ] this is a fascinating glimpse into commercial tv. if you just say something into a camera, does it just materialize in front of you? >> jimmy: it's magic. >> how much i love the good people at amiga watches.

[ laughter ] >> jimmy: you can put that on the ground. i won't be offended at all. you start again february 18th, the show. >> yes. >> jimmy: does an election year make it more fun for you? or considering everything that's going on, less?

>> i think considering everything that's going on, significantly less. >> jimmy: significantly less. >> sometimes i -- normally america likes to put on a real circus of a show for you. but we all know what these two men are. so it doesn't feel like it needs to take up every moment of oxygen in the american media over the next 11 months. but i'm sure it's going to. >> jimmy: yet it will, yeah. as we can't help ourselves. >> yes, yeah. >> jimmy: do you -- do you take requests as far as the subject matter, the topics that you cover? because i have a request. >> yeah. >> jimmy: if you would be so kind. >> sure. >> jimmy: i would love it if you could -- maybe this is -- maybe you wait till after the election. look into adult coloring books. [ laughter ] do you know what these are? have you seen them? >> i do -- what -- what pot of gold do you think is at the end of that rainbow?

they do exist. i want to know why, and i want to figure out how we can stop it. [ laughter ] not all books are a positive, you know what i'm saying? i think we've learned that. if anything we've learned from governor desantis, it's that we do have to draw the line somewhere. >> that's the jimmy kimmel guarantee. "not all books are positive, kids. your parents are lying to you." [ laughter ] >> jimmy: you and one of our colleagues from "strike force five" -- [ thunder ] >> i'm so disappointed with myself for being surprised by that. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: seth meyers, you guys are doing a show together every month? >> we're doing a residency at the beacon. you know, like adele in vegas but not that. >> jimmy: you do it on a sunday night? >> sunday night. >> jimmy: once a month. you'll do your show, race over there, do another show? >> exactly, then do stand-up together, then just mess around. it's very, very fun. >> jimmy: it's great to have you here. i appreciate you making time, staying the extra day. john oliver.
