[ [ eers and applause >> jimmy: hi, everyone, i'm jimmy. i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. thanks for coming. i'm glad we're all here, i'll tell you. tonight. john is here. [ cheers and applause ] elton john has more hits and more pairs of glasses than any other recording artist. you know, years ago you probably know elton wrote a song for me. he said i could tell everybody, it was my song. it was about how wonderful the life is since i'm in the world. very sweet. guillermo, what's your all-time favorite elton john song, number one elton john song of all-time? >> guillermo: tiny -- tiny dancer..

>> jimmy: very good. that song was written for him. also tonight, very funny woman, whitney cummings is here with us. a special on hbo coming out this weekend. i would love to see whitney as the new bachelorette, wouldn't that be a fun thing? [ cheers and applause ] there isn't as much crying on "the bachelorette" as there is on "the bachelor" which makes it not as much fun. i think whitney would solve that. tonight was "bachelor" night on abc, quite an episode. "the bachelor" is like a reality show version of "the hobbit." everyone is on a mission to get the ring. and along the way many of these pilgrims become insane. much of the drama on tonight's show centered on olivia, who's the local news anchor from austin. she appears to be among the favorites to win ben's heart. some of the other women were talking about eolivia herein

boobs, her feet and her breath. so jajae, another contnttant, did whatny gd fellow bachelor contestant would do, she got hold of olivia just to make sure she heard what all the terrible things the gals were saying. >> what were they saying? >> they started like picking apart -- like some of your like -- appearances. it's like stupid -- >> can i get? kankles. >> no. like tiny stupid -- talking about like your toes. >> my toes? >> i'm like -- >> i don't think -- >> jimmy: that is not right. [ applause ] >> jimmy: you don't talk about another woman's toes. news. and then this is where she really hits it out of the park. later on, ben comes in to share some very bad personal news. and -- no, not a whoo. responds.

morning from my family. two o ople who are closeo my fafaly passed abay i i a p pne crash last night. these two people have been pillars of my community back home since i was little. and talk to you? i'll lead the way. so, you know, everyone has things on their body that they just like wish they could change or things -- and like mine, waist-down, i hate my legs. i hate them. like people have written blogs that i have kankles. sorry. trying to be strong all the time. this is the scariest thing ever. >> jimmy: it is. she tries to be strong. [ applause ] >> jimmy: it's the scariest thing ever. okay. now back to your friends that died. who were they again?

even crazier, ben gave her a rose. went from the toes to a rose just like that. it's inspirational. i really believe dr. martin luther king would have approved this.. meanwhile there's alwlws at least one nut on the show. this season her name is lace. even if you don't watch "the bachelor" you know immediately hot crazy one is because some kind of haunted circus music plays behind her every time she talks. tonight lace had been with the words no bachelor ever wants to hear. >> ben, can i talk to you for a second? >> jimmy: "can i talk to you for a second?" never good. not from a doctor, not from your boss, not from one of the bachelorette. >> i just feel like going home might be easier. and maybe just continue working on myself. and trying to bettermyself. becacae you can't love someone else until you truly love yourself. >> jimmy: any sentence that begins with "like my tattoo

i'm in. i really am. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] i know that's what the tattoo on your back says. but what does the dolphin on your ankle think? so lace eliminated heard, she went home. buthe's definitely going to be on "bachelor in paradise." that is a guartee. meanile the bachelor, before an nba game, got a mention from none other than charles barkley. >> kobe bryant will play for the lakers his last trip to oakland and they are going to try to snap golden state's winning streak at home. they have won 36 in a row -- >> they got no chance. >> 18-0. >> they're like the black girl on "the bachelor." [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: he was right. lakers went home crying in a limo. last nightrom charleston,, south carolina, the democratic presidential debate between hillary clinton, bernie sanders,

side, i'm told his name is martin o'mally. if the democratic candidates were a boy band martin o'mally would be this guy. he look is familiar but -- can't really -- you know what i'm saying? last night martin o'mally looked like the kid forced to choose between his parents at a divorce hearing. which is very sad are because u know, he's a middle-aged white guy, nice head of hair. 10 years ago they would have justanded him the nomination. now he's like the attractive older man sitting in the outdoor tub during an erectile dysfunction -- [ applause ] >> jimmy: it wasn't a bendly debate. bernie and hillary went at it. hillary. >> president obama has led our country out of the great recession. senator sanders called him weak, disappointing. he even in 2011 -- >> jimmy: let's see that again in slow motion.

[ applause ] >> jimmy: that's how a 74-year-old thro shade. a little extra poison. in a sense the debate was a victory for bernie sanders. in that he made it through the whole thing without dying. meanwhile in london, the british parliament tod actually had a debate on whether or not to ban donald trump from the country, for real. more than half a million people of great britain signed a petition demanding the enteriri. so today lawmakers there -- cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: - put that up for debate. >> this ridiculous individual that is mr. trump -- [ laughter ] >> w may be elected as president of the united states -- >> donald trump is a fool. he is free to be a fool. he is not free to be a dangerous fool on our shores. >> you don't need a crystal ball to recognize that the person you're dealing with may be a

a buffoon. buffoonery. >> we've had a lot of talk in this debate about buffoonery. you've referred to mr. trump's buffoonery. >> donald trump is an idea. >> this man is crazy. >> donald trump as buffoon. >> jimmy: a buffoon! and a waz z it. what is a wazzit? i've never heard of it before. maybe i'll ask elton john what it means, i have no idea. there you go, we're spreading fun all over the world now. today is the day on which we honor the life of dr. martin luther king jr., who was a great [ cheers and applause ] things. any fifth grader will tell you all you need to know about martin luther king but adults forget things. today we went on the street and asked people what they thought about martin luther king endorsing donald trump for president. obviously that didn't happen.

individuals from weighing in in this mlk day edition of "lie witness news." >> dr. martitiluther king jr. this morning came out endorsing donald trump for president. what was your reaction to that? >> he's dot. on be a little nervous. i'd think he'd be the last one to endorse trump. >> what do you think about dr. martin luther king jr. endorsing donald trump for president? endorse donald trump for president, then maybe he thinks that he'll be a good president, his opinion. >> were you surprised that martin luther king jr. endorsed donald trumpmpven thoughhe got kikied off "celrity apprentice" last year? >> oh, yes. i would be surprised but you've got to do what's better -- you know, the rich are going to support the rich. and they got to know how to take care of their money. because if donald trump being

care of their money -- sup tmz! >> were you surprised to learn that dr. martin luther king jr. never once voted for barack obama? >> actually -- i am. >> why is that? >> i am surprised. you would think because of a minority he'd want to vote for mr. obama himself. >> but the whole being deceased and not being able to get out to vote -- >> which is true. >> do you think martin luther king endorsing donald trump was a reaction to malcolm x endorsing hillary clinton? >> well, malcolm xnd hillary clinton, from martha's vineyard, they both -- malcolm x has a home on martha's vineyard so they vacation -- >> they waterski together? >> yeah,,hey cation, they golf together when they're on martha's vineyard. yes, my brother lives on martha's vineyard. >> does he see malcolm x out there walking around? >> i've never seen him, my brother has, yeah.
