"jimmy kimmel live!" tonight -- george clooney. plus dave salmoni and animals. with cleto and the cletones. and now, most of all, here's jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: i'm jimmy. i'm the host. thanks for watching. thanks to all of you for coming. [ cheers and applause ] i'm so happy that you dressed. groundhog day. happy groundhog day. punxsutawney phil did not see his shadow this morning, which means one of two things. either spring will come early this year or punxsutawney phil is a vampire. [ laughter ] this is the big announcement.

morning from a place called gobbler's knob. >> is this weather more than a trend? perchance this winter has come to an end. there is no shadow to be cast! an early spring is my forecast! >> what the hell is wrong with you people? [ bleep ]. get your finger out of my ass! >> jimmy: well, since 1988 punxsutawney phil has been right 13imes, been wrong 15 times. it's almost as if this whole thing is meaningless. [ laughter ] yoknow, we have a great show for you tonight. george clooney is here with us tonight. [ cheers and applause ] his new movie directed by the coen brothers is called "hail caesar." and also another handsome gentleman dave salmoni with his wild animal friends. [ cheers and applause ] he brought with him a bobcat and a wild boar. there's a good chance tonight turns into a scene from "the

[ laughter ] if you have any beef jerky in your pockets, empty them now. dave also brought a groundhog. and you know, we do groundhog's day a little bit differently here in los angeles. in fact, let's go to dave and his groundhog now. hey, dave, how are you doing? >> hey, jimmy. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: so the groundhog -- i guess the groundhog's name is buttercup? >> this is buttercup. this little hole here. >> jimmy: so the way the l.a. version of groundhog day goes is when buttercup comes out of the hole if she goes for the quinoa we get an early spring but if she goes for the kale we're in for a few more weeks of winter. all right? all right. so dave, put those down on the ground and let's wait and see what happens when buttercup comes -- hopefully comes out of her faux log home. >> jimmy: is buttercup in there for sure? >> yeah, she's in here.

what you're doing. >> i'll show her both. >> jimmy: did you tell her there's lots of delicious fake grass out here for her to -- >> she's undecided as far as weather goes it seems. >> jimmy: why do the groundhogs come out of the hole on tv in pennsylvania and not here? >> i think you just made a comfortable little faux house for her. >> jimmy: it really looks like she's getting ready to attack in an evil way. [ laughter ] >> luckily for you we're far, far away from you. >> jimmy: yeah, yeah. okay. well, this is a great experiment. [ laughter ] [ applause ] >> jimmy: i don't know what that means. thanks, dave, we'll see you a little later. dave brought a bunch of animals with him. for those of you in our studio important because there are safety concerns. if one of the animals gets loose you don't have to run fast. you just have to run faster than guillermo.

speaking of animals, the national chicken council has released something called the wing report in which they estimate that americans will eat a record 1.3 billion chicken wings during the super bowl this yeye. i didn't know there was a national chicken council. i'd like to imagine a group of chickens gathered around a conference table making decisions about things. and i wonder if turkeys are secretly happy about all the chicken wings we eat on super bowl sunday. they're ke, yeah, that's how we feel on thanksgiving. but yesterday was super bowl media day. this is where the reporters gather en masse to get word from the coaches and players. deion sanders, who was a player, is now a broadcaster, got a one-on-one with panthers quarterback cam newton who first of all cam newton gave his baby the greatest name since jermaine jackson named his son jermajesty. it's a spectacular name. but he also made a claim that rivals, even those made about deceased korean dictator kim jong il. >> the car wreck a year ago as well as the newborn son, how

>> man, it puts everything into perspective. everything. i was going to bring lachosen with me but i didn't think he could walk down the steps yet. he's already walking if you didn't know. he's a month old. >> jimmy: his child's name is chosen. or lachosen? kanye must be kicking himself for not coming up with that. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] named his son saint, you know. if i was cam newton i would have named the baby fig. i would have. [ laughter ] you think about it, free cookies for life. last night as i'm sure you know was caucus night in iowa. ted cruz was the winner on the republican side. he got 28% of the vote. donald trump, who was expected to win, came in second with 24%. and marco rubio is right behind him. he had 23%. to come in third. which is prey good considering the fact that most iowa voters think that marco rubio is a game you play in the swimming pool. [ laughter ] but congratulations to ted cruz

he's now -- i think he's now the how it works? [ laughter ] concession speech, which was unexpected. but this morning on twitter i think he went through sort of a reverse grieving process. let's go through these tweets because they start with acceptance. he said, "my eerience in iowa was a great one. it started out with all the experts saying i couldn't do well there. i ended up in second place. nice." then he started rationalizing. he said "because i was told i could not do well in iowa i spent very little time there, a fraction of cruz and rubio. came in a strong second. great honor." next this one came moments later. denial. "the media has not covered my long shot great finish in iowa fairly. brought in record voters and got second highest vote total in history." and finally, anger. "i don't believe i've been given any credit by the voters for self-funding my campaign. the only one i will keep doing but not worth ." [ laughter ] so why keep doing it if it's not worth it?

ungrateful about how much money he spent on his own campaign. [ laughter ] [ applause ] poor donald trump. this has got to kill him. the only person i feel sorrier for than donald trump today is the person who had to tell him last night. wonder who that was. i would have sent his daughter in. she's pregnant. so maybe he'd be calm when she entered. but meanwhile jeb bush is -- he finished in sixth place with 3% of the vote. he reportedly spent t wards of $2,800 per vote. in other words, for every vote he got he could have purchased nine hoverboards. [ laughter ] there's a photo finish for the democrats. hillary clinton edged out bernie sanders 49.8% to 49.6%. hillary did especially well among women, and she swept the african-american vote in iowa. she got both of those votes. [ laughter ] [ apause ] thatat the thing.

diversity last night. look. this is real. this is from the cnn entrance poll. among whites cruz beat trump and rubio by a few points. among blacks, hispanics, and other, n/a. look at the percentages. you got percentage white, 97%. zero percent black. and next they're headed to new hampshire, which is kind of the same thing. it's weird how we do it. it's like let's give the white people a couple weeks to vote. then we'll start finding out what everyone else thinks. [ laughter ] so iowa is finished. cruz and clinton are victorious. mike huckabee and martin o'malley dropped out of the race. and it's always sad when you drop out of a raceo one knew you were running in. [ laughter ] martin o'malley will now return to his -- you know his regular job is he's the guy on the cover of the "just for men" box. [ laughter ] ted cruz, after ted cruz won he gave an hour-long victory speech thanking god and saying his win was a victory for judeo-christian values. on sunday he called on voters in

christ by voting for him. it actually worked out pretty well. marco rubio and donald trump have been doing the same thing. god is a very important part of this primary election. most all of the candidates go out of their way to talk about the bible and their faith. so we thought it would be interesting to take real quotes from the primary candidates. these are things these guys actually said. and we want to get an idea of what they would sound like from the mouth of jesus. [ laughter ] so here they arere the words of the candidates as read by jesus himself. >> you don't lock your doors because you hate the people on the outside. you lock your doors because you love the pple on the inside. [ applause ] >> the fact is that we need appropriate vetting and i don't think that orphans under 5 should be admitted into the united states at this point. [ applause ] >> you don't stop bad guys by taking away our guns. you stop bad guys by using our guns. [ applause ] >> look at that face.

that? uh. >> i would bomb the [ bleep ] out of them. i'd just bomb those suckers. >> the other thing is with the terrorists you have to take out their families. [ applause ] >> i'll take the votes of everyone who likes machine guns and bacon. [ applausese >> i w wl build a wall. it will be a great wall. >> usa! usa! [ applause ] >> jimmy: we have to take a break. when we come back, something very special. guillermo and i helping kids with their homework. it's fun and educational. so stick around. we'll be right back.

okay, but i'm going to be in it. they're the directors you really want to work with. >> jimmy: i think so. and for them it's got to be the greatest thing. you don't have to prove anything to anybody. also for you you know you're going to be in a movie -- >> a coen brothers movie. >> jimmy: : ah. and they're funny. because they havthis -- they stand next to the monitor when they're shooting and they have a -- they laugh. they honk kind of -- like ha, ha, ha. the whole time you're doing the take. you think they're screwing with the sound guys. they look at me and like ha, ha, ha. [ laughter ] it's very odd. >> jimmy: do they ever argue? you have two directors and they're brothers. do you have -- >> i try to pit them against each other. >> jimmy: oh, you do. >> yeah. i say that's a much, much better idea, ethan because your brother was not great. >> jimmy: who uld settle an argument? do ty call their mom? i mean, really. >> i don't know. it's just a constant fight between the two of them. they just yell and scream at each other all the time. >> jimmy: when they have a scene -- there's a beautiful scene in this movie. there are a number of them.

water dancing scene. and when i look at it i just wonder like how this was written on the script. i mean, how do you even know? >> you he channing o otomorrow night. channing had to learn how to tap-dance to do this tap-dance number. and literally, if you read the script it just says "and he dances." it is like a line like that. and it's three months of training. "rome burned." so he was in hell. >> jimmy: you got out easy. you did have to wear a roman -- what outfit -- how would you describe that? >> i don't know how you'd describe it. it's a leather miniskirt. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: the whole movie you're wearing it. >> and it -- not s swhoo. . [ laughter ] honestly. because we don't wear those. unless it's friday night and i'm drunk, we don't wear that. [ laughter ] and you get a little breeze going. you know, it's not the most comfortable. >> jimmy: you were an altar boy when you were a kid. >> i was. >> jimmy: i was also an altar boy. >> you were? >> jimmy: yeah. so i know about wearing a dress

because that is what you wear. >> you do. it's a longer dress. >> jimmy: it's more conservative. >> were you a good altar boy? >> jimmy: i was pretty good. although i would sometimes fall asep during mass. >> yeah. >> jimmy: and i would yawn in -- i have a huge mouth and i of course didn't coveit. my parents would go nuts. >> you also -- i remember being an altar boy where you wanted to do weddings because everybody's happy and because you don't have to do the incense, which is just brutal because you're holding the incense, you can't breathe. but funerals were a drag because you don't get tipped at funerals. [ laughtht ] >> jimmy: i did. i would get paid. >> here's a little something for taking care of uncle joey. >> jimmy: we'd get $5 for a funeral and $5 for a wedding. there was no difference. >> really? no, not us. >> jimmy: that's when i learned there was no difference between joy and pain, they're really the same thing. [ laughter ] >> catholicism will teach you a lot of those things. >> jimmy: would you go to confession? >> sure. >> jimmy: that was weird because you work with the priest. right? >> well, first of all, you start going to confession in second grade.

and i remember confessing about -- b bause you go in once a week. and i would ok through the list of ten sins, you mnow. and i remember confessing to a priest that i'd committed adultery because i thought that meant acting like an adult. [ laughter ] [ applause ] d they have th long pause behind that screen. uh, let's take this back and try it again. [ [ ughter ] georgie boy. >> jimmy: that's pretty good. i'd make my sins up. i really would. i didn't want to tl him the teal sins. it was@too embarrassing. i'd come up with like i was mean to my sister. >> my buddy pete and i when i was in school we'd read in the bible where so saint had put a pebble in their shoe and walked around for penance. by fifth grade where you had a couple things you didn't want to confess, it's a small town, a town of a few hundred people, so you know the priest knows your voice. i'd just confess what i thought was importrtt for him to take care of.

with gravel and i'd jump off the top of my bunk beds. anthen i was cleansed. >> jimmy: what? [ lauger ] >> jimmy: it's weird being catholic, it really is. [ applause ] >> i did stop that a couple years ago. >> jimmy: you did? >> oh yeah. you don't keep doing that. >> jimmy: every once in a while you have to do it again. >> that's just for fun. >> jimmy: we all know your first -- really your big break s "e.r.," right?
