we appreciate your time as always. right now on jimmy kimmel, the always funny eugene levy. have a great night. >> lou: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live!" tonight - eugene levy. anna sawai. and music from the kid laroi. with cleto and the cletones. and now, jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] ♪

>> jimmy: i appreciate that. very nice, thank you. thank you. hi, everybody. i'm jimmy. i am the host of the show. thank you for watching. thank you for joining us on this special day. kind of a weird day. today is february 29th, also known as leap day. just when you thought this year couldn't get any longer. leap day comes around. [ laughter ] according to wikipedia, leap day was the invention of a 15th century astronomer named augustine leap who discovered small discrepancies between the calendar year and the actual time of the earth's orbit around the sun. he was able to convince the holy roman emperor that his calculations were correct. so the emperor added the extra day in and said doing so was a "leap of faith" which is where that phrase came from. quick show of hands. how many of you believed that? [ laughter ] i made that up. [ applause ]

you know what the truth is -- you want to know how it happened? "leap day" was invented by a guy who needed another day to come up with his rent. [ laughter ] last night, my son wanted to know how we would celebrate leap day he's used to valentine's and st. patrick's day where you get candy and do fun stuff. i had to disappoint him. so i told him on leap day, we eat bacon and throw coconuts in the pool. [ laughter ] let's stop by and get coconuts on the way home. i'm going to see how long i can keep it going. if i can get him to believe it so long he does it with his kids, i will consider my life to have been a success. [ applause ] the other reason this was a weird day was the mexican standoff between donald trump and joe biden. trump and biden were both in texas today to visit the border. try to score some off-brand tijuana lipitor. [ laughter ] the trump campaign is accusing the president of traveling to the border for political reasons, whereas trump went for the taco bowls.

[ laughter ] seedy gonzales was in eagle pass where he spoke about one of the many problems illegal immigration presents. >> nobody can explain to me how allowing millions of people from places unknown, from countries unknown, who don't speak languages, we have languages coming into our country, we have nobody that even speaks those languages. they're truly foreign languages. nobody speaks them. >> jimmy: right, right. [ laughter ] could someone please push him over that border? [ applause ] build his wall up real quick? [ cheers and applause ] trump, as you probably know, strong-armed republicans in congress to renege on a deal they made with biden to secure the border, and now he's down to scream about biden not doing anything to secure the border. a new poll says illegal immigration is now america's number one concern. 50% of americans say they support construction of a wall along the border, which is just as dumb as yanned a it was when trump threw it out there eight years ago.

first of all, there already is a wall across the parts of the border where a wall makes any sense. there's 706 miles of wall already. secondly, walls, they're not magic. you can go over them, you can go under them. you can cut through them. basically, a wall is a great way to stop undocumented bighorn sheep. [ laughter ] from sneaking in here and taking jobs from american sheep. [ laughter ] it is interesting to watch the maga gang so upset about mexicans, while at the same time, openly embracing russians. >> i think that people are just ridiculous that they think that putin's such this enemy. he isn't doing anything. he just wants back what was his. >> but he invaded -- >> taking back what was his. >> he invaded ukraine. >> that's right. >> killing thousands of people. >> that's fine. that's fine with me. >> this administration's trying to start a war with russia. russia's not our enemy. >> jimmy: he's right, sleeves are our enemy. [ laughter ] i got to say, i don't -- i mean -- [ applause ] as somebody who grew up in the '80s, i don't -- did this man not see "rocky iv"?

[ laughter ] come on. trump's other big line of attack is to try distract us from how historically unfit he is for office by questioning how much joe biden has left in the old think tank. the radical left democrats are at it again. they're constantly making up stories about me because their candidate is a mental and physical basket case. don't associate me with the mental midget that you portray, because i want to tell you, he should not be leading this country. >> jimmy: okay, first of all, they're called "mental little people" now. [ laughter ] and second, does he think this is helping him? does that sound like a mental tall person to you? [ laughter ] in washington, lawmakers made another last-minute band aid deal to avoid a government shutdown. they passed a short-term spending deal that will keep the lights on at least through the first week of march. our government is being run like a kid who writes his book report on the bus ride to school. [ laughter ] meanwhile, donald trump is looking for money himself. i mentioned last night that, in order to appeal the ruling in

his fraud case in new york, he has to come up with the full $454 million penalty or a bond on are to cover it. in other words, a man who became famous by never paying anyone back has to convince a bonding company that he will definitely pay them back. [ laughter ] it's an astonishing amount of -- he owes a whole powerball lottery jackpot. [ laughter ] he may very well have to sell off his properties to cover it. but that's a worst-case scenario. his first move is to see how much he can get for eric on craigslist. [ laughter ] [ applause ] he has him listed in the "tool" section. wouldn't it be great if trump has to sell mar-a-lago to some billionaire liberal? [ cheers and applause ] maybe oprah-lago would be a solution. [ laughter ] darth traitor did get a win from his buddies on the supreme court, which has agreed to hear trump's "presidents can do whatever they want" argument as it relates to january 6th. that is likely to push trump's trial to sometime after the election.

the case did not need to be heard by the supreme court. it was already heard by the u.s. court of appeals which smacked it down so hard it needed a concussion protocol. [ laughter ] but the supreme court was like, "wipe the blood out of your ears and get back in the game!" the question the supreme court decided they need to rule on is, can a president do literally anything while in office and be immune from prosecution? and if you think that's an exaggeration, or an oversimplification, trump's lawyers were asked, "if this is true, would a president be allowed to send s.e.a.l. team 6 in to kill one of his political opponents and he didn't say no. trump's argument is that he could literally shoot someone in the middle of fifth avenue and get away with it. and i'll be honest, i'm worried the person he would shoot might be me. [ laughter ] i'm staying away from fifth avenue. and so now we may have to wait until next year to find out if trump did the things we all saw and heard him do on television. [ laughter ] this is what happens when we let an extra from "home alone 2" pick three supreme court justices. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ]

if you are a regular viewer of this show you know that, from time to time, we like to poke fun with our friends in florida. which is, as you know, our country's most ridiculous state. [ laughter ] but tonight, in the interest of equal time we turn the spotlight on ourselves for the first-ever edition of "this week in california." >> a bizarre fight in venice beach caught on camera. video from tmz shows a woman in her birthday suit going after another woman, who was clothed and armed with a cigarette and a spiked club. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: am i the only one dying to know who won? either way, it's a great start to women's history month. [ laughter ] tomorrow, black history month ends, and women's history month begins. women have contributed so much to the world, and even to me personally.

you know, i did one of those ancestry things. i recently learned half of my parents are women. [ laughter ] yeah. and that is why it saddens me so deeply to hear the unfortunate news out of kanawha city, west virginia, where locals are grieving the loss of a beloved local landmark. >> they're calling it the end of an era. hundreds gathering at the old hooters for a candlelight vigil. >> it's a lot of memories going down with that building. >> i want to thank each and every one of you. >> it never reopened after march 2020. >> for all the naysayers, the doubters, the down-talkers and whatnot, this building right here was a legitimate iconic figure to the valley. [ laughter ] [ applause ] >> jimmy: wow. that's -- i'm saying i know how he feels. when the heaters a few doors down the street from us closed, it felt like our community lost its soul. [ laughter ] it really did. if we could, let's take a moment to bow our heads in prayer to

remember the people of kanawha city and the memory of their dearly departed chicken wing tit factory. [ laughter ] i said silently. if we're not going to take it seriously and pray together. i mentioned before today is leap day. and i know we have a lot of calendar nuts watching the show. so, to them i want to wish -- >> did someone say leap day? ♪ >> jimmy: hi. [ cheers and applause ] wow. what a delightful surprise this is. who are you, may i ask? >> i'm february 29th, but call me leap day if ya nasty! [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: where did you come from? >> i'm here every four years, so deal with it!

>> jimmy: oh, well hello leap day. welcome >> did you say -- leap? ♪ >> jimmy: i did say leap. >> you said leap again! ♪ >> jimmy: okay, i think we get it. >> wow. i haven't seen people since february 2020. how have things been since then? totally bitchin'? [ cheers and applause ] wow! >> jimmy: i wouldn't say totally bitchin'. >> oh, really? >> jimmy: yeah. >> when i left, 2020 sounded like it was about to be turnt up! [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah. >> a solid coachella line-up, the summer olympics, ruth bader ginsberg was kickin' "a." >> jimmy: yeah. not all of that worked out. in march, everything shut down. like everything had to shut dune. >> oh, no. what did president buttigieg do? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: oh, right! pete buttigieg had the lead in the primary the last time you were here. no, he didn't become president, he's not the president.

>> wh-wh-this is so much to take in. >> jimmy: yeah. >> what the dua lipa's going on here? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: about two weeks after you left, there was a pandemic that killed millions of people and really -- changed society, changed everything. >> oh. ♪ that's my leap of immeasurable sadness. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: oh. >> did everyone at least learn a lesson from that horrifying event that brought humanity together as a whole? >> jimmy: no, no. [ laughter ] quite the opposite, in fact. >> wait a minute. do you have the virus? your eyes are sunken, and your hair's patchy. >> jimmy: no, that's just what i look like. i've looked like this for four years. >> you did? >> jimmy: yeah, this is my -- >> you're not sick? >> jimmy: no, not sick at all. i'm okay, thank you. >> well, then, eww. anyway, i gotta leap. i'm celebrating my birthday with my bestie. haven't seen him for four years! >> jimmy: who's your bestie? >> he's another day.

maybe you've heard of him? january 6th? >> freedom! >> jimmy: oh, yeah. >> freedom! >> janny, what did jimmy kimmel do to you!? >> jimmy: i didn't do anything to him. >> come on, honey. let's go visit 4/20, and forget this ever happened. i'll see you losers in four years! let's go. >> hang mike pence! hang mike pence!

[ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah, yeah. i will say, though, i have a star right in front of our theater. every once in a while, on the rare occasion that i'm outside, that i usually stay indoors. occasionally i go outside. i see somebody looking at it, i'll give them a tap on the shoulder, "what are you looking at?" i'll keep moving. that way they really aren't sure if it actually happened. [ laughter ] >> if i gave them a tap on the shoulder, they wouldn't know who it was. >> jimmy: that is not true. can i tell you that i saw your very old pal, martin short, and i don't mean he's very old, i mean you've known each other since you were boys. >> i've known marty over 50 years. >> jimmy: marty is a -- one of your best friends? >> marty is my best friend.

[ laughter ] >> jimmy: no, no, he cared. he cared, but you might want to give him a call, let him know why he wasn't inelevated. >> yes, i will. i will. >> jimmy: this is an old newspaper item we found from i assume canada. from what year would you guess this was? >> well -- that would be the odd couple, that's mcmaster university when we were in school together. that would have been '71. but my picture would have been from probably '66. >> jimmy: oh. >> because that picture is a high school picture they lifted from my yearbook. [ laughter ]

and marty's picture is actually a comp picture that he had done, a bad comp picture as he would call it. [ laughter ] because it looks like he's an actor trying desperately hard to get dramatic work. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah, he does. you can really see -- you can feel his pathos. >> he thought it was the oddest picture to put out to promote a comedy. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: it does seem weird. let's put that up on the big screen so we can really look at marty's face here. [ laughter ] i mean, this captures the -- it looks like he was maybe drooling while he took this.

and i was -- i had one of the lead roles, playing igor the hunchback. >> jimmy: wow. >> marty had a very small cameo appearance in the play, playing a pizza deliveryman who delivers a pizza to dr. frankenstein's castle. right? >> jimmy: that was in the play? >> yes. now, i didn't meet marty till the wrap party at the end of the run, which was three whole performances. so i didn't know him during the run of the play. i just thought he was an odd little fellow. >> jimmy: uh-huh? [ laughter ] >> and what i found odd about him was, i couldn't believe how much time in the makeup chair he had for his 12-second appearance. [ laughter ] as the pizza deliveryman. >> jimmy: i love the idea that there was a pizza deliveryman in "frankenstein." was it a comedy version of "frankenstein"? >> it was a comedy version.

>> jimmy: i see. >> intended to be. >> jimmy: i see. [ laughter ] >> so that was it. no, he was in whiteface. he went whiteface down his face, his neck, his arms, eyeliner, black, black. >> jimmy: for pizza delivery? >> for pizza delivery. literally it was, "here's your pizza." and then he backs out. >> jimmy: oh. >> you know what i mean? >> jimmy: yeah, that's pretty good. >> just wanted to be noticed. >> jimmy: what were you like in college? were you like on some kind of like acting scholarship? >> i thought you were going to say on a drug. [ laughter ] no, i wasn't on an acting scholarship. i don't think any school was that stupid. [ laughter ] but i -- in the beginning, i -- now, what was i like? i don't know. i had a lot of hair. >> jimmy: you still have a lot of hair. >> no, no, but i mean a lot of hair. >> jimmy: like long? >> like a lot, a lot of hair, a lot of facial hair. >> jimmy: oh. oh, i do have a picture of you -- i don't know if this is -- probably not college.

i mean, i'm actually -- it's kind of hard to believe this is you. this is a character you were playing? or this is -- >> no, that was me, jimmy. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] that was a comp picture. >> jimmy: now, this is -- to see you at the bottom, "eugene levy still waiting for the big break." [ laughter ] >> yep. and a little side note to myself, "change photographers." >> jimmy: yeah, wow, yeah. there you are. were you disappointed when that was the caption, "still waiting for the big break," in the local newspaper? >> it sounded like it was something that put the crowd on your side. >> jimmy: it's very canadian. >> you know what i mean? >> jimmy: yeah, yeah, yeah. >> just go under. you know, humble is the way to go. >> jimmy: yeah, yeah. >> still waiting for the big break. i still say that. [ laughter ] even after the star. >> jimmy: once the star goes in,

humility is out the window. >> that will be my quote to the press after getting the star, "still waiting for that big break."

>> jimmy: i've been enjoying you on the show. the show is a lot of fun. was that a real arrow? >> you would think, right? >> jimmy: yeah, you would think, it looked very real. >> it was wind. i had to sit there, try not to blink. >> jimmy: a little bit of wind -- okay, all right. it's amazing. in the old days you would have got shot right in the eye. [ laughter ] >> a couple of scars, yeah. >> jimmy: you know, we remember, if you're of a certain age in the united states, you remember "shogun" from 1980. it was an nbc miniseries. >> uh-huh. >> jimmy: i think it was the second highest rated thing anybody ever watched. have you ever watched any of those old episodes of that? >> i was going to watch it but our show runner justin told me not to. >> jimmy: oh, really? >> he didn't want me to be too inspired so i've only seen short clips. >> jimmy: interesting. your character is, among other things, an interpreter. >> yes. >> jimmy: how many languages do you speak? >> sadly, only two. >> jimmy: two.

well, that's one more than i do. [ laughter ] english, obviously, is one of them. >> and japanese. >> jimmy: and japanese is the other? >> yes. >> jimmy: was your japanese fluent going into this? >> i speak better japanese. so yes, it is fluent. but in the show, we speak period japanese. >> jimmy: oh. >> so i had to do that. and then do a sort of like british accent. >> jimmy: old-timey? like thee, thou, 'tis, whereofs, those kind of things? >> yes. >> jimmy: is there an example how it would differ from traditional japanese? >> so, for instance, if it was where's the water? this is the water. we would just say -- [ speaking japanese ] in modern language. but it would become -- [ speaking japanese ]. >> jimmy: we tightened it up. people write, instead of what's up, sup? sometimes not even words, just

emojis. eventually we'll be nodding and giving a thumbs-up to each other. is a kimono a comfortable thing to wear? i've been thinking about getting into them. [ laughter ] >> jimmy. they are so uncomfortable. >> jimmy: they are uncomfortable? >> it's so restrictive. so basically you're wearing layers and layers and tying the waist with an obi. it's like a thick belt. and it goes around multiple times. so we would learn how to walk in them. and women back in the day, they don't wear underwear. >> jimmy: okay. >> they didn't have the concept of underwear. they would have to just stand like this. this is default. and then you would shuffle your legs kind of like that. and that is the walk. so i would practice this at home. at the grocery store. at the park. [ laughter ] i had to. i wanted to get to -- >> jimmy: you started wearing the kimono around? >> i would just walk like that. [ laughter ] there was a time -- there was a time a girl actually walked up to me, concerned. she was like, "do you need to go

to the bathroom?" [ laughter ] i didn't even know it looked like that. >> jimmy: yeah, that is kind of -- now i'm thinking about it, request. that's what i look like when i need to go to the bathroom. what's the hardest thing about acting in them? >> everything is hard. but i think, if i were to choose one, it would be doing the sword fighting in the kimono. still, we have to keep our knees closed. it's strange because when you're fighting for your life you would think, you can kind of separate them, right? >> jimmy: do whatever needs to be done, right. >> i did talk to them. they were like, you know what, that does make sense, let's widen out the stance a little bit. >> jimmy: these weapons that you use, are they real weapons? are they made out of rubber or what? >> if they were real, i would not be here today. >> jimmy: okay. >> yes. we did get rubber ones and we got wooden ones. and i think they had the same weight as a real sword. >> jimmy: okay. >> so it made it that much more realistic. >> jimmy: okay. i mentioned before, you grew up in new zealand, correct?

>> i was born in new zealand. >> jimmy: born in new zealand. >> two years in new zealand. then i moved to japan. then to hong kong. then to the philippines for five years. then i went back to japan when i was 10. >> jimmy: oh, you got around a lot. >> yeah. >> jimmy: is that hard, living in all those -- i mean, different countries like that? as a kid? i would imagine it would be confusing in some ways. >> it was -- it was so much fun. but i do remember being confused when i moved back to japan. because one of the girls came up to me, you know, she was so inviting. "do you want to go to the bathroom with me?" so i said yes. i go in. and i come out. and she's waiting for me. and i heard people also love to do that here. like that's a thing. >> jimmy: yeah, right, women go to the bathroom together. >> do we not want privacy? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: well, i think they go to the main part -- wait, did she come in the stall with you? [ laughter ] >> no, oh my goodness. maybe she was peeking. i don't know. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah, you better watch out for this one, i don't know.

yes, that's like a group thing. i think it's -- i don't know what -- it's a mystery to me. you know more. what are you guys talking about when you're in there? >> gossip, boys. >> jimmy: exactly. it's like a -- to kind of assess what's going on at the table, talk about what needs to be talked -- then if there's some embarrassing procedure or something or you got something in your teeth or whatever, then you tell each other that there, right? >> yeah. >> jimmy: guillermo and i never go to the bathroom together, right, guillermo? >> guillermo: no, never. >> jimmy: rarely, rarely. >> maybe you can try. >> jimmy: when you came to the united states, what was the biggest culture shock or surprise to you? >> it's still a shock that the portion of the food is so big. honestly, it would feed a whole week of me. there's -- huge. i never finish my food. >> jimmy: yeah. that is something i hear from people, too. and for me, i can't even -- i don't even understand it. in fact, i hear it from americans. "we're ordering too much food." i'll go, "we are?"

[ laughter ] then i consider it to be a challenge. "well, guess what, i'm going to eat all of it." [ laughter ] >> jimmy: d . >> do you ever? >> jimmy: always. [ laughter ] i don't think i've ever taken home a doggie bag. i can't help it. it's like a sickness. unless it's not good, then i won't eat it. otherwise, i'll eat it. not only that, if you and i went to dinner, i'd eat whatever was on your plate. >> please. >> jimmy: problem solved for both of us. >> exactly. >> jimmy: congratulations on all the success of the show. and in your career and all. it's called "shogun." fx's "shogun." new episodes premiere tuesdays on hulu. anna sawai, everybody. thank you, anna.
