but a double rainbow is pretty cool. i won't even look at a single rainbow anymore. they're boring. but what i really would like to see more than anything, you know what that is uncle frank? >> what jim? >> jimmy: a bacon double rainbow. wouldn't that be something? [ applause ] i hope i live long enough to -- today, by the way, was the 50th anniversary of the flintstones. the cartoon family of the past. the flynn season tos premiered tonight in 1960, which was a simpler time. a time when you could use a bird to trim the hedges and chimps with handles ran our traffic lights. the flyintstones was the first successful animated program in primetime. i haven't seen it in about 15 years or something. you can see the influence that it had on today's popular shows. in a lot of ways, the flintstones was far ahead of its time. >> call me a ho like a jerkoff.

>> you are a ho. >> do you talk to your mother like that? >> shut your mouth. you dirty little hamster. >> how many guys you sleep with in 24 hours? two. >> i didn't have sex with jose. >> get all of my face. >> you know what you're good at? >> you're a dirt bag and your penis should fall off because you're disgusting. >> jimmy: well, there you go. [ applause ] they also had a duck phone. a new episode of "jersey shore" tonight. action-packed. and romantic, too. it looks like mike the situation has finally found love. he found it in a nightclub. last week, the situation met a girl at a club but lost track of her at the end of the show. but this episode, he found her again and immediately had sex with her. >> you want to -- half of my sandwich? that one is with -- this is egg

and toast, whatever. >> okay. >> she has no shame in her game at all. she's great in bed and the next thing you know, she's eating an egg sandwich with mvp. you know, you can't find them like that these days. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: you can't? seems -- seems like you can. the girl in the house that everyone hates, angelina, finally left tonight. answer l angelina hates everyone, everyone hates here and tonight she felt the full force of hurricane snooki. >> all of yous in this house are [ bleep ]. and i want you all to know that i can't stand any of yous. >> okay. hold my earrings, please. >> oh, yeah. this is what's up. this is what's up. ♪ we keep it gangster ♪ we keep it gangster >> i'm going to leave this house right now. >> oh, yeah!

[ applause ] so -- there you go, that's -- you know, you hate to see orange on orange violence but sometimes there's nothing can you do about it. snooki, by the way, has announced that she's working on a book. a novel, even. snooki is writing a novel. what are the olds she thinks novel is another word for belly button? they've -- they already decided on a title. it's called "drink, smush, puke." first book ever to be printed entirely in spray tan, so -- one

of the women who claims to be former tiger woods mistress is also claiming now to have a sex tape. she says she has a 62-minute long tape, 37 minutes of which is her having sex with tiger woods. the other 25 minutes they're playing scrabble. so precise, by the way. 37 of the 62 minutes are -- you know, it's that kind of attention to detail that separates the amateur pornographers from the greats. her own mother says she's lying. her own mother says she never had a relationship with tiger woods, but i tell you what, if she does have this tape, i hope she hires a couple of hushed voice golf announcers to do play by play for it. tiger lining up his approach. he lays up just shy of the back nine. this is -- this is something. this is, three of the captains from the discovery channel show, what's that "deadliest catch,"

have announced they're quitting the show apparently they have caught everything in the ocean. actually, they quit after discovery sued them for allegedly not finishing up a spin-off. the news is a big blow to the network, because that show is very popular. discovery is launching another show that combines some of the elements of that old show, but some of the elements of another popular reality show. i think it's going to be a bigger success. >> high seas. high drama. high celebrities. captain dr. drew welcomes you to the most dramatic celebrity recovery crabbing show of all time. rehab boat. the celebrity-est catch. all new this fall. >> jimmy: after an all-new "keeping up with the kardashians."

windows were down, summer day, and she felt some wind and she said, oh, dark cloud, and 2003 ended up falling on top of her car. and it, i read in the paper, i was in japan doing a gig, she called, said she was in the hospital, tree fall on the car, no worries. then she sent me the pictures and i freaked out. in the "usa today," i kept the -- >> jimmy: that's how you found out? >> actual tornado in west chester county. >> jimmy: so there must be -- >> it's freaky. what's going on? >> jimmy: you need to move out of that area. i mean, really -- >> it's a lovely area. >> jimmy: how lovely with a tornado sweeping in? >> it's rare. >> jimmy: i guess so. listen, if they're blackberrying you guys when it's coming -- >> we got rain here yesterday. that's different. >> jimmy: do you like it here in l.a.? >> it's a great place to work. they treat you like gold here.

tv but also for american tv. >> yeah, the -- the idea was -- i was -- it wasn't my idea to do the show but i was in london doing standup and somebody came up to me after a show and clearly not one of my normal fans, or somebody that would come see me, and very posh woman, about whether i'd be interested in creating a show that i'd write for me to star in, as you said, for british television with the potential of being sold to the states, as well. >> jimmy: so what did you say? >> i said, ah, man, i [ bleep ]. because -- [ laughter ] >> jimmy: they like that. >> really? applaud for me? i tend to drink a lot on stage. i revert to my southern -- >> reporte >> jimmy: the title of the show

the -- >> jimmy: fatter? >> um -- >> jimmy: he did just have a baby. are you telling me that he's pregnant on the show? >> well, it was hard for him to lose the baby wait, you know? >> jimmy: was "arrested development" shown in england? >> that's part of my popularity over there, it huge over there. >> jimmy: really? >> yeah, yeah. really big. >> jimmy: it seems like it would be great if you could get them to pay for you guys to make more episodes. i don't know what's wrong with this country. your character from that show, obviously it's got a huge cult following, and, not quite huge enough to keep it on the air, but -- we found these halloween pictures -- it's true. it was a great show and -- >> it was -- >> jimmy: sadly, it was -- not enough people watch. >> but at least now there's the theme park, the "arrested development" theme park. the tobias coaster. >> jimmy: this falls right in. these are halloween costumes that we found on the internet.

various people. this guy has got a -- a problem. >> that is terrible. >> jimmy: i think -- yeah. well, listen, not everyone has a makeup department, i mean, some people have to do it themselves. this guy is a combination of you and the six flakes guy. >> and andy dick. >> jimmy: this is nice. this guy's really -- all he did, i think, was -- all he went with is the mustache there. i think that's you. it could just be a guy in his kitchen. here's when you were -- tobias was in the blue man group phase. >> yeah. >> jimmy: this guy -- he's halfway there. he's a little less than -- >> he looks so sensitive. it looks like he's -- like that's his album cover, you know? >> jimmy: they've gone too far with the catalog. here's -- oh, this, when tobias got the hair plugs.

being attacked by leeches. and -- have you met this person? >> no, no. >> jimmy: do you want to? because david, he's -- no, he's not here. you've not met this man. you'd think he would make a pilgrimage to meet you -- >> you know what, i'm always one step ahead. constantly moving. i lived in london for six months -- >> jimmy: because of him? >> yes! that's how the show came -- >> jimmy: that is just horrible, i think. i have to say. flattering, but horrible. >> this is -- kind of [ bleep ] material. >> jimmy: that's truly masturbating if you're looking at a picture of yourself. >> let's turn that over. >> jimmy: the last time you were here, you were writing a book which turned out to be a best seller. you were working on a tour, which, you know, but -- the tour -- >> yeah, the tour was a result of the -- when i went to meet

the press people for the book, the publisher, whatever, and their idea to market the book was simply, and i went in to midtown for a meeting and everything. and their idea was, oh, very excited, got some internet things and then we're going to put you on "good morning america" and "the view." >> jimmy: perfect for you. that's your audience right there. >> i said, that will have a negative effect because i'll be hungover and i'll be very honest and it won't be very good and people will talk about it oh, did you hear that terrible thing david cross said to whoopi or whatever. so, then i put the tour together as a -- well, to do the tour, it had been awhile, and also as a way to sell the book and, you know, book signings, stuff like that. >> jimmy: and you employed children. >> yeah, yeah, always. they're cheap. very exploitable. they fall asleep very easily. yeah, no, i -- you're talking

about the standup. >> jimmy: we have a clip of what you would do. do you need to set this up a little bit? >> well, at the beginning of each show, todd glass would open up and introduce me and everybody goes yay, and each city, we had a different kid that we got from that city put a bald cap on him, some glasses, and i wrote a monologue for him. that would have him eventually finding, seeing somebody in the audience who was taping the show and then he would freak out. >> jimmy: let's take a look. >> you recording this? no way, i specifically no recording of any kind. i'm serious about this -- i will [ bleep ] you up, bitch. that's it. show's over. [ bleep ] trying to record my -- you know what, i hope this chandelier fall on all of you. that's it, i'm out. [ bleep ] you [ bleep ]. >> jimmy: you should adopt that boy. >> i have to tell you -- that was a kid -- that was a kid named dean from the milwaukee

show, he was so good, we flew him out when we were going to tape the shows in boston. but he -- and his folks, obviously. >> jimmy: he has parents? he riffed that last thing. the thing about, i hope the chandelier falls and -- he riffed it. >> jimmy: really? >> yes. >> jimmy: i guess he had done some web search thing. >> jimmy: was it difficult to get his parents to go along with this plan? >> no. there's -- i mean, that was my biggest fear was in each city, because we did a big tour here, and in canada, and, you know, would we get a kid in each city? i mean, because the monologue was filthy. and -- and the parents were so delighted. >> jimmy: they were? >> and each one of them, the kids were all awesome. they were great and they memorized the lines. we were up all night with him going over his lines. >> jimmy: really? >> oh, it's -- there is no shortage of parents who are

gleefully exploiting their children. >> jimmy: god bless america. there you go. well, please, do yourself a favor, check out david's new show, called "the increasingly poor decisions of todd margaret" tomorrow night at 10:00 on ifc. dave cross, everybo david cross, everybody. we'll be right back with the avett brothers. made it burn even more. ♪ new puffs plus lotion is more soothing than common tissue. and it delivers twice the moisturizers to your nose versus the next leading lotion tissue. a nose in need deserves puffs plus lotion indeed. when you prefer a lotion-free tissue, try puffs ultra soft & strong. how smart is the new ford edge? well, it can show you the most fuel-efficient route to where you're going. it can find the best price on gas.
