america ferrera. kenny smith. plus, music from kygo and ava max. with cleto and the cletones. and now -- jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: i'm the host. thank you for watching. thank you for joining us on the -- [ cheers and applause ] probably the drunkiest day of the year. it is fat tuesday. it is mature degraw. this was the scene in new orleans today. where locals showed their appreciation for the police. [ laughter ] fat tuesday.

i don't know about you, but i, for one, am sick of seeing tuesday get fat shamed. and i know it's coming from that skinny bitch thursday. [ laughter ] this is kind of funny. a high school kid in alabama is raising awareness that the beads that get thrown around at mardi gras are not great for the environment. >> mardi gras isn't the mardi gras outthe beads but they could release potentially harmful metals into the environment. >> we're not shooting to rain on anybody's parade. this is still a really fun time, fun activity. but conscientious about the contaminants that are on the beads. >> reporter: thomas, along with his mom, studied beads for five years. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: five years? could you imagine studying beads with your mom for five years? [ laughter ] my mother once made me go with her to a fabric store, and i'm still not over it. [ laughter ] meanwhile, mardi gras got a run for its money from golf this weekend. i don't know if you saw this.

this is from the waste management phoenix open where fans managed to get so wasted, they had to stop selling beer. [ laughter ] they were yelling at the golfers. they were passing out. [ laughter ] fans are jumping in the sand traps. people weren't replacing their divots. there were fighting going on. there was -- whatever this is. [ laughter ] good to see john daly back on the tour. [ laughter ] as a result, the whole tournament got cut off. they said no more beer for anybody. very upsetting. this is what happens when your presenting sponsor is the garbage collector in town. [ laughter ] valentine's day, i hope you know, is tomorrow. guillermo, what is your valentine's day plan? did you do the whole thing? >> guillermo: yeah, dinner, flowers, maybe have a few drinks. >> jimmy: and will love be made tomorrow night?

>> guillermo: of course, jimmy, yes, yeah. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: one more question. >> guillermo: i will text you! [ laughter ] >> jimmy: when you said dinner -- i would like that. you sedaid dinner, flowers, a f drinks. will that be just you or with your wife? [ laughter ] >> guillermo: with my wife of course. >> jimmy: all right. valentine's day is a big day for candy sales. reese's, the beloved peanut butter cup company, puts out a special product for valentine's day. i want to show this to you. this is -- what is it called -- reese's pink heart. it's supposed to be a pink heart. but let me open this. but if you turn it upside-down -- here's the heart, okay? all right. and then you have -- [ laughter ] and then you have a -- what many people are saying is a peanut butter scrotum. [ laughter ] reese's not only haven't

commented on this scrotum they're selling, on their website it says, "these snack size candies are perfect for dropping off at co-workers' desks, or for classroom exchanges." and then go straight to hr. [ laughter ] i say they're nuts, reese's says they're hearts. there's only one way to prove who is right. bring in the truck. heart or thuts? can you hang it on the back of a truck? [ cheers and applause ] case closed. want to eat that? >> guillermo: no, no. >> jimmy: all right. americans are expected to spend more than $25 billion on valentine's day gifts. even though they did a new poll from marist college saying more americans, 48%, said they were more excited for the super bowl than valentine's day. which is also the same percentage of marriages that end in divorce. [ laughter ] basically, people are saying they prefer chicken wings to sex. [ laughter ] the super bowl this year was the most-watched television program of all-time.

123.7 million people watched the game. to put that in perspective, they got almost as many viewers as this. [ laughter ] that youtube video of a kid in a wigg eating pasta has 125 million views and counting. [ laughter ] my super bowl mvp didn't even play. former seahawks and raiders running back marshawn lynch was in las vegas greeting niners fans after the game. >> excuse me, 49er man, 49er man, 49er man, 49er man, 49er man -- >> it's marshawn lynch! >> are you a 49ers fan? >> yes, sir. >> [ bleep ] you. you a niners fan? >> yes, sir. >> [ bleep ] you. are you a 49ers fan? >> yes, i am. >> [ bleep ] you. [ bleep ] you. [ bleep ].

[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: i think we might have to hire marshawn lynch. i don't know. i don't want to step on your toes, but i'd love to get him on the red carpet at the oscars. [ laughter ] >> guillermo: that would be great, yeah, he can do it. >> jimmy: donald trump is throwing a hail mary to try to get the trial related to the mess he made on january 6th moved until after the election. last week, the d.c. court of appeals unanimously shot down his "i have immunity to do whatever i want" defense. and now he's asking the supreme court to overturn it. what trump is asking for is basically the crime version of the neverending pasta pass at olive garden. [ laughter ] his lawyers are arguing that in the future, presidents might hesitate to act if they're worried about being criminally charged. and they're right. what kind of world are we leaving for our children if future presidents have to second guess themselves every time they incite a mob of angry, deluded metal workers to barge into congress and bear spray the police? [ cheers and applause ] tanny soprano is also putting

his greasy little baby carrot fingers in the republican national committee. trump has endorsed his daughter-in-law, lara trump, to cochair the rnc. you know what? his son-in-law totally fixed the middle east, why not let his daughter-in-law fix the [ laughter ] republican party? trump issued a strong statement of support for lara. he said, "my very talented daughter-in-law, lara, has agreed to run as the rnc co-chair. lara is an extremely talented communicator and is dedicated to all that maga stands for. she has told me she wants to accept this challenge and would be great." oh man, poor eric. his wife got more compliments in one post than his father gave him in his entire life so far. [ laughter and applause ] i will give him one thing. she is very talented. feast your ears on this. ♪ i won't back down no i won't back down ♪ ♪ you can stand me up at the

gates of hell but i won't back down ♪ >> jimmy: at least they won't have to hire entertainment at the event. [ laughter ] the thing why this is diabolical is the chairperson of the rnc controls where the money goes. when people donate money to the party, she controls it. that's why trump wants eric's wife in there. even though she's not qualified. she looks like janice "the muppets." [ laughter ] trump has been making the rounds trying to scare voters into paying him. he gave a speech to members of the nra in harrisburg over the weekend where he gave them a very weird reason why he is needed back in the white house. >> we have to win in november or we're not going to have pennsylvania. they'll change the name. they're going to change the name of pennsylvania. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: all right. well -- it sounds a light far-fetched. i mean, joe biden is from pennsylvania. why he would change the name of

his home state is unclear, but just because something is completely made up doesn't mean it isn't worth fighting for. [ laughter ] >> here in pennsylvania, we're here in pennsylvania. because pennsylvania is more than just a state. it's also the name of our commonwealth. and that's why we call it pennsylvania. same as we've called it for more than 200 years. now more than ever, pennsylvanians need to come together to keep pennsylvania pennsylvania. don't give in to liberals trying to rename us pedophilly or penisland. pennsylvania is pennsylvania. let's keep that it way. paid for by pennsylvanians to keep pennsylvania named pennsylvania for trump. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: problem solved. meanwhile, this is a story that caught my eye. there's a mystery unfolding at an aquarium in

hendersonville, north carolina. a biological mystery that blows anything we've seen on maury povich out of the water. one of their stingrays, a female stingray, is pregnant. the only problem is, it's the only stingray they have at the aquarium. and it's in a tank. this is charlotte, the pregnant stingray. it's weird that her name is charlotte. this definitely seems like more of a samantha situation. [ laughter ] and these are her tankmates, two male bamboo sharks named moe and larry. right now, they have two theories as to how charlotte got knocked up. either through asexual reproduction, which stingrays are apparently capable of doing in very rare cases, or she was impregnated by either moe or larry in that tank. [ laughter ] they found little bite marks and apparently sharks bite each other when they make love, like you and your wife, guillermo. [ laughter ] >> guillermo: a little bit, a little bit. >> jimmy: and you know, the last time they mated a stingray with

a shark, we got kellyanne conway. [ moans and applause ] this is something we need to keep an eye on. to make it weirder, they announced charlotte's pregnancy with a somewhat bizarre facebook post. "good morning facebook followers!" then five spaces. 'this is a post you might want to read!" okay, i will. "our stingray, charlotte, is expecting!" another five spaces, why not? then they talk about the doctors who confirmed the pregnancy and finally, they drop the bombshell. "the really amazing thing is we have no male ray! that is amazing! we do have a coupler of possible reasons." fifty more spaces "for this event." and it ends with "bj ramer." which, typos aside, this is a fascinating story i thought was worthy of more investigation. so we tracked down bj ramer. and he joins us from the aquarium and shark lab in he coulder in hendersonville. hello.

>> hello, jimmy! thank for havingzi-g me. >> jimmy: so, this situation is very rare, correct? >> well, yes. i'd say the rare event of pregernancy rare, but isn't all true love "rare" if you thinks of it? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: i guess so, but it's not really the "love" part i'm interested in. it's the pregnancy part that is puzzling. these animals aren't even the same species, correct? >> who species? >> jimmy: the sharks moe and larry. do you think one of the sharks actually impregnated a stingray? >> well, i didn't do it. [ laughter ] what are you implyingzi-g about mr. bj ramer? >> jimmy: i'm not implyingzi-g anything about mr. bj ramer. i'm just trying to figure out. >> oh, oh. oh "it'll never work" them saying. "it's just wrong" them saying! "it's an abomination in the eyes of god" them saying. "bj, get thee away from that stingray what the god hell are you doing?!!"

what we are doing in love! >> jimmy: wait, what? >> okay, fine. it true. i am the fathering. happy now? >> jimmy: no, i'm not even a little bit happy. why would i be happy? >> oh, right, right. like you turn down this, huh? so sexy, mm. you not dangle dingle in front this? c'mon, horny! >> jimmy: no, i wouldn't. i can't say i would. >> oh, okay. so i'm weirdo, right? round up angry mob! get torches and bj run out of town! >> jimmy: no, no. >> bj getting fired from aquarium for "sexingzi-g with fish." what about tom hanks in "splash"? what about "flipper"? >> jimmy: hang on that was a movie and nobody had sex with flipper. >> yes, maybe they do. maybe flipper like sex like lady do. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: i don't think so, and

i think we've probably heard enough. >> okay, judgy jimmy. i see your hop moon photo. [ laughter ] jimmy: that's not my honeymoon photo. that is me fishing. >> yeah, i bet. you say catch but you no mention release. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: okay, bj, thanks so much for talking with us. >> no tell charlotte! >> jimmy: we'll keep it quiet. bj ramer, everybody, from the aquarium. [ laughter ] you know, we're very tired after super bowl weekend. [ laughter ] we've got a fun show for you tonight. kenny smith is with us tonight. we have music from kygo and ava max. and we'll be right back with an oscar nominee named america ferrera. so stick around!

two very different visions for california. steve garvey, the leading republican, is too conservative for california. he voted for trump twice and supported republicans for years, including far right conservatives. adam schiff, the leading democrat, defended democracy against trump and the insurrectionists. he helped build affordable housing, lower drug costs, and bring good jobs back home. the choice is clear. i'm adam schiff, and i approve this message. [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: tonight, from the "nba on tnt" his book is called "talk of champions." two-time nba champion kenny smith is with us. [ cheers and applause ]

then later, their song is called "whatever." music from kygo and ava max. tomorrow night, on valentine's day, we'll be joined by supercouple gwen stefani and blake shelton who will be with us. [ cheers and applause ] and fortune feimster will be here as well, so please join us for that. the cream team is here. some of the top names in moisturizing are with us tonight all the way from new york. we put that on tv, let's put a chiron "the cream team" under it. >> jimmy: our first guest tonight is a first-time oscar nominee whose pants traveled all the way from "ugly betty" to "barbie." you can see "barbie" on max now.

please welcome america ferrera. [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: does it sound strange to hear "oscar nominee america ferrera"? is that normal to you now? >> been waiting my whole life. it's so surreal. i still have not processed. >> jimmy: i guess it would be hard to process. when you say you've been waiting your whole life, is it something that you dreamed about as a >> i knew i wanted be an actress when i was 5 years old. i also wanted to be a human rights lawyer. that didn't pan out. [ laughter ] you know, it was 10, 12, 16, watching the academy awards, it's the mountaintop. >> jimmy: yeah. >> so this is, like, i keep seeing everything through, like, 10-year-old america's eyes. like yesterday at the nominees lunch i said hi to martin

scorsese. it's just like it's so surreal. >> jimmy: explain what the nominees lunch is. i don't think most people know about it. it's a pretty -- a lot of people say it's the best part of the oscars. >> it's so sweet. so it's all the nominees, and everyone gets to bring one person. so -- and -- >> jimmy: all the nominees? >> every nominee in every branch -- >> jimmy: for this lunch. it's held at an arby's, which is very strange. [ laughter ] seems weird. but it's tradition, i guess. >> yeah. and they split you up so you don't get to talk to your group and cast. you get to meet other nominees. it's like freshman orientation. >> jimmy: uh-huh? >> then there's a point, like you eat and yao ming angle, then there's a point where one by one, they call every single nominee's name. and you get -- you stand up and you go stand in like a class photo, and then you -- >> jimmy: we have that class toto, actually. i have to move aside so we can see you in the class. [ cheers and applause ] where are you there?

oh, there you are. i can't really see that well. >> i'm behind martin scorsese. and next to his editor, thelma shoemaker. >> jimmy: oh, yeah, there's marty, actual size. [ laughter ] and there you are. >> there i am. >> jimmy: and all the nominees are there, wow, that's pretty -- who were you most excited to meet? don't say everybody. >> who -- well -- there i was most excited to meet martin scorsese. >> jimmy: right. did you get to chat? >> i did, yeah. he was so nice. >> jimmy: he's very nice. and funny too. >> and funny, yeah. like -- so energetic. >> jimmy: did you talk to him about movies? or did you just to hello? >> i talked to him about "killers of the flower moon," a little-known movie. and i just thanked him. i said, "thank you for telling this story." and also for the way he told the story. >> jimmy: did he thank you for telling the "barbie" story?

[ laughter ] >> yes, yeah. he was actually very kind. very lovely. he didn't mention "barbie" specifically. >> jimmy: uh-huh? >> i think it was -- made an impact on him. >> jimmy: were you awake when the nominations were announced? >> i was. i had just sent my husband and kids off to school. i didn't send my husband off to school. [ laughter ] i sent my husband off to take my kids to school. >> jimmy: america's husband is 11 years old. [ laughter ] but very, very bright. really like a super genius, almost. you were in new york. so yeah. >> it was like school dropoff time, 8:30 in the morning. they were off, and i was still in my pajamas. and i was like, i'm just going to get back in bed, let me take this news lying down. because i wasn't -- >> jimmy: you didn't feel like you were going to get nominated? >> i wasn't expecting it. >> jimmy: oh, okay. >> so i was just lying in bed with, you know, head on the pillow, my little phone. and then i saw and heard my name. and i was just stunned silent.

i mean, i thought i would scream or cry, but there was no one there. >> jimmy: oh, wow. >> and there was a moment of, like, wait. am i -- is this real? then my phone started blowing up. that's how i knew it was real. >> jimmy: who was the first person you spoke to? >> my publicist and my agent. then ryan called me, my husband. not gosling, other ryan. [ laughter ] no breaking news there. he called me, and everyone in the car was screaming. he was screaming because he was excited. my kids were screaming at him to stop screaming. >> jimmy: oh, okay. >> chaos. i'm like, aah! it was a very exciting morning. >> this is kind of exciting. your high school acting teacher is here in our audience. >> she is, right there. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: oh, there she is. this has got to be exciting for both of you, right? >> yeah.

this is mrs. freitag. i can't call her anything but mrs. freitag. she was one of my two drama teachers in high school. we spent a lot of lunchtimes eating in the drama room together because i was super popular and cool and had lots of friends. [ laughter ] she was a lifeline and i loved her to death. >> i had zero to do with this, zero. >> jimmy: not zero. i mean, come on, zero? >> zero. she's a natural tural talent. i didn't have to do anything. i'm very proud of you. >> i will say that when you're a kid in the arts -- and a kid like me who was, like, you're beholden to just whatever you can act. public school. every person who sees you and sees your talent and believes in you and tells you to keep going, they're your lifeline. that's what keeps you going.

this ad? typical. politicians... "he's bad. i'm good." blah, blah. let's shake things up. with katie porter. porter refuses corporate pac money. and leads the fight to ban congressional stock trading. katie porter. taking on big banks to make housing more affordable. and drug company ceos to stop their price gouging. most politicians just fight each other. while katie porter fights for you. for senate - democrat katie porter. i'm katie porter and i approve this message. it's barely impossible to be a woman. >> we have to always be extraordinary. but somehow, we're always doing it wrong. you have to never get old.

[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: that is america ferrera in "barbie." which is on max now. that is a role for which you were nominated for an academy award. really, i think that's one of those moments in movie history that people are always going to remember that speech. are you aware of that? >> it -- people have said that to me. and it's hard to really comprehend. >> jimmy: i felt when you were making that speech -- we went to go see the movie in a movie theater in idaho, it was packed, a lot of people there. i felt my wife getting madder and madder at me. [ laughter ] with each word that you said. >> very well said. >> jimmy: like, maybe i should

hit the restroom right now. >> i think i'll do bar mitzvahs and weddings. >> jimmy: yeah. >> you could have me come and i'll just pump you up. >> jimmy: 100%. you could do halftime at the super bowl. you could do all kinds of stuff to get people fired up. how long does it take to get that in your head, to really memorize that? >> i didn't memorize the words. i don't like to memorize lines like that, because then i get stuck saying them a certain way over and over again. instead of kind of discovering new things with every take. so instead of memorizing words, i sort of memorize the ideas. does that make any sense? >> jimmy: i don't know, we'll ask mrs. freitag. [ laughter ] >> yeah. the school drama kid over here, guys, figured it out. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: do you still remember it now? does it stick with you? or is it gone once you're done? >> no, i could say some of it. but i don't know word for word.

but i could say most of it. >> jimmy: did your kids see the movie? >> they did, yeah. >> jimmy: how old are your kids? >> my daughter is 3, and my son is 5. >> jimmy: okay. did they like the movie? >> it's hard -- well, they didn't say anything about it for a really long time. [ laughter ] like, i was like, oh, watching them for every move. >> jimmy: yeah. >> what are they going to do when i'm on screen? then my husband's in the movie, what are they going to do when dad's on screen? when they finally said something, my daughter's question was, "why are you driving that car?" [ laughter ] i was like, really? not why am i on a massive screen with a life-sized barbie? then my son goes, "did the kens ever finish building that wall?" [ laughter ] like that's what he wanted -- yeah. so i don't know. >> jimmy: there are a lot of unfinished walls in this country. [ laughter ] how old were you when you started acting professionally? >> professionally, i got my first job at 17. >> jimmy: okay. >> it was a disney channel movie

called "got to kick it up." and i was sure that i was going to get nominated for an oscar for that. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: oh, really? >> 17-year-old america wants to know what took so long. you know. she really thought it was going to happen then. but then right after "got to kick it up," i got "real women have curves" right after that. >> jimmy: i see. >> was my first feature film, and that one kind of changed -- >> jimmy: were there any other stars in the movie with you? or was it a small thing? >> it was mostly young people. but i remember our first time on the warner brothers lot and that first job i ever had. it was like, oh my gosh, it's hollywood, and it's a lot. we're going to see people. they're like, "calm down, it's not like that you might not see anybody." then we were walking and i saw brad pitt and jennifer aniston standing at the door of their trailer, talking across the road to george clooney in his trailer. and matt damon was playing basketball.

squeezed between charles and shaq at the nba all-star game on tnt, and he wrote a book called "talk of champions." please welcome kenny smith. [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: how you doing? >> i'm doing well. >> jimmy: i have to tell you, i do want to tell you i love your show. i love watching you and charles and shaq and ernie. i would watch you guys talk about anything. it doesn't have to be basketball. you could be talking about any subject, and i would watch. >> we have a lot of fun. the funny thing is, people say that. "i didn't watch the game, but i watched you guys." i'm like, that's like going to a concert, saying i don't want to go to a concert, i just want to hear people talk about it. [ laughter ] it's a different feeling. >> jimmy: i don't agree, it's like a comedy show. my wife has no interest in basketball, yet she will sit down and watch your show.

>> we're late night tv. that's really it. we all grew up with the late-night tv feel. we emulate that on our show. basketball happens to be the anchor, but we don't stick on that. >> jimmy: right. i'm glad you don't. this book is broken down in chapters. each chapter is focused on a different person who meant a lot to you or means a lot to you in your life. who are some of the people? >> wow, i have a variety of people, from basketball obviously. bill russell is one of them, who was my first coach. one of the legendary people. dean smith, rest their souls. charles and shaq. i told them i was doing a book, a tell-all book r. they were like, "what you talking about, a tell-all book?" [ laughter ] i was like, no, the book, i tell everything i learned great from them and all of the things i learned from all of these different people. michael jordan is in there. >> jimmy: have they read the book, charles and shaq? >> that should be our next quiz. >> jimmy: yeah. >> we should do on the show a

five-question quiz, and whoever gets them wrong. >> jimmy: maybe you should have written some crappy stuff about them in the book just to get them to read the book. >> they honestly -- we joke a lot. you'll see me push shaq into a christmas tree. you'll see all the shshenanigan. i've learned so much from smak, one of the smartest businessmen i've ever met. charles in terms of speaking your mind and understanding how to say things you really believe in your head. those things are things you can't teach. >> jimmy: nothing from ernie? >> ernie's the authentic. ernie is authentic. he's the most genuine human being you'll ever meet. if you're needing a ride and you need to get somewhere, you have a flat tire, that's my first call. [ laughter ] i'm not calling shaq or chuck. >> jimmy: no a aaa, call ernie? >> calling ernie. >> jimmy: let's start with michael jordans. one of the chapters is about michael. many people who follow basketball know this, that michael jordan actually recruited you to play at north

carolina? >> yeah, so i was -- i was on my recruiting trip. he and another player gamed buzz peterson were my guys. he was mike jordan. not michael. very southern. >> jimmy: uh-huh? >> i'm from new york city so we say country bumpkin. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: you considered him to be a country bumpkin? >> without question, without question. >> jimmy: wow, wow. >> but his competitive spirit lived and was the reason why i went there. you know, there was a story, jimmy, where my dad used to say, "you've got to have the eye of the tiger." you know. "you've got to have the eye of the tiger if you want to be a great player." we're in his car driving. he says," you know what you got?" he puts the song on. it's "the eye of the tiger" song. >> jimmy: michael jordan? >> he didn't know my dad had ever said that. i'm like, this is not coincidence, i'm coming to north carolina. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: did you and michael jordan sit and listen to the entirety of "the eye of the tiger"? >> it's the '80s and '90s,

that's a big hit then. black music wasn't where it is now, so we listened to "eye of the tiger." >> jimmy: you were a real new york kid. >> yes. >> jimmy: with the knicks and the nets and all that stuff. you would go to the games. and michael, you said, was a country bumpkin. did you rub off on him in some way? >> well, the whole team -- initially my name wasn't kenny, it was new york. "hey, new york, grab this." freshman, you got to do all the duties and all of the chores, the hazing. "new york, go get that, new york." i changed my name to ken-ny. i'm new york all the way. yeah, i think some of it rubbed off on all of the guys. rap music for sure. first-generation rap muse glick you introduced them to -- >> without question. there was no rap stations, no hip-hop nations in north carolina before i came. i used to carry this big box. you know those -- >> jimmy: yeah, the book box. >> the big boom box. i'd have it, and i'd be blasting

the music throughout the campus. i was first generation. >> jimmy: what artists are we talking about? >> we're talking run-dmc, all -- the i'm first generation. >> jimmy: were you all wearing adidas at that time? >> we were supposed to. because our school was sponsored by them. however, we were wearing them at that time. >> jimmy: even michael at that time? >> yeah, when what they used to do, they used to give me money when i used to go home. everyone's like, "go shopping for me." all the guys -- because in new york at that time, the only time you can get sneakers of different variations, different colors, different styles. i would always overcharge them. [ laughter ] i was a great stylist, but i was overcharging them big-time. >> jimmy: what about bill russell? as your first coach with the kings? is that when you were on the sacramento kings? >> sacramento kings. is late, great bill russell drafted me into the nba and was my first coach. and you know, the interesting

thing, they had a rule. i had to sit next to him on every bus ride. >> jimmy: really? >> because he was like, you know, "you want to be a champion or you want to be a loser like them?" i used to have to sit next to him. he would just tell stories. in the middle of a story, "yeah, so i was going, martin was coming back." martin? "martin luther king." randomly. people that i read about in history, he actually knew on a first-name basis. >> jimmy: oh, crazy. >> it was overwhelming. but i do -- there's one thing. i live my life by what he said to me. we were looking at all of these players coming in from overseas. and i said, "coach russell, you're telling me there's not a guy in alabama that's just as good as a guy in ukraine or croatia? why are you flying all the way over there?" and he says, "kenny, as an african american, you should never not want inclusion." and i stopped. [ applause ] it could have took a joking

moment and kept joking about it. >> jimmy: right, yeah. >> but he taught me a life lesson. and i said, okay, that's the way i live my life to this day. >> jimmy: wow, that's a pretty good lesson. [ cheers and applause ] that's what happens when you're hanging around with martin, i guess. >> exactly, exactly. >> jimmy: you got the nba all-star weekend in indianapolis. starts thursday through sunday. all the different events. i know you have an all-star charity poker tournament. >> my 21st year of doing events at all-star. and it's the who's who. like everyone -- >> jimmy: who's playing in this tournament? >> last year, from chris tuck tore a-rod to dr. j comes every year. i've had my events where lebron has been -- everyone that's been at these events. it's a who's who. it's tough to get tickets, are so i. [ laughter ] but the funny thing, i don't know if you remember the very first one. you and uncle frank. >> jimmy: that's right. >> did a live remote. >> jimmy: and my uncle frank. >> your first year was my first year doing it.

>> jimmy: oh, wow, wow. >> so you did a live remote from it. that's when your show was live, i believe. >> jimmy: that's right, yes. >> you did a live remote. you're like, "coming in." frank was there, bless his soul. >> jimmy: we put him in a basketball uniform. it was ridiculous, yeah, yeah. >> hilarious. >> jimmy: somehow you survived that. >> so this is my second time on the show. >> jimmy: it's great to have you here in person. people cannot go to the poker tourna tournament? >> well -- i'll tell them how to get there.
