>> jimmy: thank you. thank you very much. welcome to the show. i'm jimmy, and -- and that's my go-kart. thank you. i appreciate that. hold on, let me make my hair perfect. there we go. wow. that's very nice. degeneres show," and she gave me a go-kart for saving her life, so i've been driving it everywhere. has ellen ever given you a go-kart? >> all: no. >> jimmy: i didn't think so. wearing a helmet? that's because i'm rebellious. that's right. one of my new year's resolutions is to raise more hell in 2011. i'm doing it with the go-kart there. i'm planning on eating my body weight in pez, as well.

that's what 2011 has in store with me. do you have a new year's resolution, uncle frank? >> do i have a new year's resolution? yeah, to stay alive for at least one more year. >> jimmy: that's a very good one. [ applause ] and you're doing it because you are actually multiplying. this morning at about 4:00 in the morning, uncle frank, for the first time in his lengthy life became a grandfather, so, congratulations. little baby. it was a long night at the hospital. >> jimmy, can i say something? >> jimmy: yeah. >> jimmy and cousin sal were in the hospital for nine hours. he's the greatest boss, the greatest relative, because they're cousins, him and my daughter. he was in that hospital until she gave birth. he wouldn't go home. i don't know how he looks so good now. he didn't sleep all night. him and cousin sal were there until the baby came. >> jimmy: can i ask you a question? why did you pick one person out in the audience to focus that on? >> i don't know. but that's how great he is. >> jimmy: that's right. thank you. i think what uncle frank is trying to say is, i'm not just a

celebrity. i'm a human being. but my cousin mikki, his daughter, with an assist from her husband eric had a baby girl and they named her franki after -- >> frank -- me. >> jimmy: and there she is. she actually looks a little bit like you. congratulations, uncle frank. >> thank you. >> jimmy: do you know what year it is, uncle frank? >> 11. 2011. >> jimmy: right. it 2011. and, you know, i was thinking about, none of us will probably be alive for the next time 2010 comes around so i asked my uncle frank to summarize the year that was for posterity sake, here is uncle frank with his synopsis of the year 2010. >> hi, this is uncle frank with my 2010 year in review of events that happened. i'm going to start with the oil spill, which was probably the biggest event of the year. thousands and thousands of feet by the hour were coming up and then it was spreading and spreading. somebody invented something to

re-enter those pipes where the oil was coming out and they plugged them. plugs. inventions in the world from the beginning. you plug it up. something goes wrong in your house, like plug it up for awhile. let it lay low, let it rest and then after a awhile take the plug out and if it is still going, plug it up. i'm making a statement right now. the most important invention ever since the beginning of time in my opinion, now that i think about it, are plugs. >> jimmy: well, that's -- [ cheers and applause ] thank you, uncle frank. really felt like i was reliving the hole. a new season of "the bachelor" began last night. brad womack is back. he's at bachelor from season 11 who didn't pick any of the girls. some viewers were angry about that. you're supposed to propose

to one of the women, whether or not if you have any intention of marrying them. it's law. this time around, brad wanted to make absolutely sure that people know he is a changed man. >> i needed to make a change right then and there. i wanted to figure out, how can i change because i am damn sure not going to wind up alone. >> and that moment would change brad's life forever. >> i want to prove to myself that i've changed. >> i see a change in brad. >> you seem to be a changed man. what's changed? >> would not be here if i didn't think i was a changed man. >> changed man? >> it did change me. >> you say you're a changed man. >> i needed to change. people change. are you really changed? i've changed. i've changed. >> what's changed? >> there's a huge change in him. >> three years is a long time to change. >> what do you want me to know about you? >> i've changed. >> jimmy: change. i think the message -- if i had to boil brad's message down to one thing, i think the message is, he's changed -- into a woman. he is the first simultaneous

bachelor/bachelorette, so, a new show on cbs, "live to dance." let me tell you something, if you love "america's best dance crew" and "so you think you love to dance" and "dancing with the stars," you're going to love this show. i hope they come up with a "celebrity dance rehab," too. i watched to "live to dance" tonight. it's pretty much the same. the three judges, the cute kid that can break dance, the cute old couple. does the funky chicken while they tap-dance, but the one thing this show has that the others don't is little something called paula abdul. >> they'll train for it. they'll audition for it. they'll go for it. but before they can make it, they'll have to figure out what the [ bleep ] paula abdul is >> it's all like, and it was like tah-dah. >> "live to dance," only on cbs. [ applause ]

>> jimmy: she said a similar thing on "american idol." this is pretty -- this is pretty good. there were weather-related travel delays all around the world over the holidays, this is from ireland, channel tv-2. they had a report from the dublin airport and happened upon this jolly little elf. >> as passengers endured long delays and disruption to their flights. but downstairs in the arrivals hold, there was a merrier mood as flights packed with passengers began to arrive to the delight of their waiting relatives and friends. >> have you been waiting a long time? his excitement got the better of him when his uncle did arrive. >> jimmy: a mild concussion. he'll be out four to six weeks. he should be fine by easter, don't worry. speaking of the kiddies, yesterday a photograph of a shirtless justin bieber kissing

actress selena gomez came to light. if you don't know who selena gomez is, she's that sweet little girl from the disney channel whose car is now covered in baloney and eggs. justin bieber's fans are furious about this. they would have it that he would never touch another human being. on twitter there were death threats. some people threatened to kill themselves. some threatened to kill selena gomez. brett favre posted a picture of his penis which i didn't understand. it was crazy. but here are some of the tweets directed at selena gomez for kissing justin bieber. "i'll kill you, i swear on god." "if you are the girlfriend of justin, i will kill you, i hate you." like i'm kill myself because i saw you and justin kissing well thank you." now i'm killing myself. "stay away from justin, pedophile. wait i'm going to kill you in the light underneath your smelly bed."

this, by the way, is exactly what happened to me when i was 16 and first started dating kenny loggins. and it's not -- it's no fun. here's a rule of thumb. don't take death threats too seriously when they come with emoticons attached. if you look at the picture closely, you can see, she wasn't kissing justin bieber. she was smelling a mop. [ laughter ] two women who worked as massage therapists for the new york jets while brett favre played quarterback there have filed suit against brett favre and the team for alleged sexual harassment in 2008. an attorney for one of the therapists told "good morning america" that favre sent them sexually suggestive text messages and that the jets' massage coordinator told the i think my favorite part is that the jets have a massage coordinator. i'd go with an offensive coordinator. but what a way for brett favre, after such a great career, to

go. i think the big lesson here is, when you say you're going to retire, retire. the jets have another embarrassing situation on their hands. their head coach, a hefty gentleman named rex ryan, a woman who either is or looks exactly like his wife is featured in a number of online foot fetish videos and the guy shooting the videos sounds a lot like rex ryan. well, it is called football, so there's a foot. [ laughter ] he's not denying it. he says it's a personal matter and he's not going to discuss it. i can't say i blame him. but the videos are there to be seen, and there's a lot of them. they're not pornographic, but i think unusual is a good word. >> excuse me, ma'am. can i help you with anything? >> oh, yes, sir. i was just relaxing. >> really beautiful feet. >> thank you. >> you mind if i touch them? >> oh, go ahead. >> they're like really soft. >> thank you. i take really good care of them. >> jimmy: you know, she does

have beautiful feet. that, you have to -- [ laughter ] and one more thing. this is -- those feet belonged to one of our writers and we -- whenever we get a chance to put them on television, we take it. [ laughter ] season three of "jersey shore" premieres thursday night on mtv. that's -- [ cheers and applause ] i know. it's been too long. didn't season two end like on christmas eve or something. you would think it would take them a month just to sterilize the hot tub, but they're back making new episodes. mtv just released a ten-minute sneak peek at the premiere. they have a new cast member this year, a friend of snooki's named dina. dina is a little troublemaker. we don't want to spoil the premiere, but we want to give you a taste of the magic to come. so we took some of the audio of the promo of "jersey shore" and mixed it together with the charlie brown new year's special and, well, enjoy. >> don't talk to me the way you're talking to me. first of all -- and second of all --

>> first of all, second of all. >> i don't care who you are. >> i don't care who you are. >> so go on -- >> dina kind of reminded me of, like, a dirty chihuahua, just barking. and like you kind of just want to smack it to the side. >> i would rather have [ bleep ] angelina back. >> [ bleep ] you. [ bleep ] you. >> you don't want to piss off dina like that. because even though we're tiny bitches, i don't give a [ bleep ]. i will [ bleep ] attack you like a squirrel monkey. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: do they attack? hey, we got a good show tonight. from "no ordinary family," julie benz is here. we've got a pretty cool performance from a guy named michael carbonaro and we'll be right back with matt leblanc. so stick around.

how are you? how was christmas? >> it was good. >> jimmy: did you get a go-kart? >> i did not. >> jimmy: that's a shame. i did. >> it has feathers on it. >> jimmy: i know, it does. well, that's because i was the angel for ellen. i saved her life. so she put angel stuff on it. because i'm an angel. i'm like a guardian angel. have you ever saved anyone's life? >> no. [ laughter ] well -- no. >> jimmy: maybe if you do, you'll get a go-kart out of it. >> something to keep in mind. >> jimmy: maybe if you're lucky i'll choke on something during the show and you'll be zipping around the studio of your very own. what did you do for the holidays? went back to newton, massachusetts where i grew up. >> jimmy: i've been to newton, massachusetts. nice little town. it's like the safest town in america, is it? >> is it? >> jimmy: yeah, yeah. >> well, there's no go-carts there. >> jimmy: that's right. it's go-kart-free. >> went to my mom's house, i brought my daughter, she's 6.

>> jimmy: nice. does your mom spoil her? >> yeah. yeah, my mom's funny. you know, she -- when my daughter was born, she said, okay, so don't ever come visit me unless you bring her. you're not welcome without her. you have to bring her. so if i like, go there without her, can't get in. >> jimmy: you stand outside. >> and freeze. >> jimmy: really? >> it was very cold. >> jimmy: don't ever visit me without her but you do visit with her, right? >> of course, well, you have to. >> only way to get in. >> jimmy: what happens when you show up with her? does your mom pay any attention to you at all? >> it's funny, we live so far apart, i live in california. and she lives there, and so when we do get together, they have this -- they're like joined at the hip. this great bond between them so i end up standing at the kitchen sink washing dishes or cooking. >> jimmy: it's probably better. sometimes the focus can be too intense when you come back to mom. are you in the house you grew up in? >> no, no. >> jimmy: no, it's a different house.

>> we sold that for food. >> jimmy: for food? >> yeah. lot, i mean -- >> it wasn't a very nice house. >> jimmy: and this show, by the way, i watched the show today and it's very, very funny. >> thanks. >>. >> jimmy: it is really a very funny show. i think people are going to like it a lot. the premise -- i don't want to ruin it, but you idea -- you play matt leblanc which is a role you were born to play. >> it's not a documentary, it's not really me. >> jimmy: you're playing like kind of -- i hope it's not you how much of it is you? >> not much. he's kind of an [ bleep ]. >> jimmy: yeah, he is. >> so, i mean, it's -- it's a scripted character. it's more like, i would say, public -- the public's perception of celebrity. than it is really me. i mean it's -- >> jimmy: and how long has it been since you were on "joey" which was the last show you did, right? >> yeah, it's been about five years.

>> jimmy: what have you done? i know you have enough money to never do anything again, probably, but i mean, i don't know that, but i assume it unless you did something stupid with it that i don't know about.

they promise them the world and one by one break every single promise. >> jimmy: right. >> it's like hollywood. >> jimmy: part of it is you coming on board the show. >> yeah. >> jimmy: which they're not that excited about. >> yeah. the part is like the headmaster of an elite boys academy and it's played by richard griffiths. do you know him? >> jimmy: well, i know him from watching the show. >> i replace him and we're not very similar, him and i. he's 70, whatever he is. i mean, i'm gray but i'm not that gray. >> jimmy: you change the concept of the headmasters school to, you're now the hockey coach at the school. >> yeah, same thing, right? >> jimmy: and it's very -- it really is very good. i think people are going to like it a lot. in fact, we have a clip of the show if you'd like to set it up for us. or we could have uncle frank do that. he's good at that. >> i think -- >> hi, matt. >> let him do it. >> jimmy: he can't do it. >> all right. i think this is at a party at the network president's house

[ laughter ] >> they both offer something different. >> jimmy: they do. well, your television family, the hoe is very popular. >> yes. the great thing about my television family is we all have super powers. >> jimmy: yeah, your real family doesn't have that? >> no. >> jimmy: no one in your real family has superpowers. >> no. >> jimmy: well, that's embarrassing. >> i have no life experience to pull from. >> jimmy: you have never -- you have never like flown alongside a plane or anything like that? >> no, not yet. >> jimmy: on the show, you have like super speed. >> yes. >> jimmy: and it's kind of cool actually the way the super speed goes. it looks like real kind of. >> yeah, it's cool. it's very cool. they shut down the 710 freeway so i could run on it. it was awesome. >> jimmy: not for the people trying to get to work. >> i know. >> jimmy: how do you do that? do you run in slow motion and

then they speed it up? >> i actually run in slow motion. >> jimmy: i'm not joking. i'm really asking. >> no. >> jimmy: oh, you don't. >> no, i run full speed. they shoot it in -- they shoot -- i don't know how they do it. to be honest, i really don't. >> jimmy: you're really not -- you're not paying attention. >> i don't pay any attention. >> jimmy: you just get out there and run. >> all i care about is, how does my hair look? >> jimmy: that is what's most important. although it seems like at a high rate of speed every time you stop, your hair looks crazy. like i came out in the go-kart going maybe only 75 miles an hour but already my hair which is almost like a helmet just naturally was all over the place. you should talk to the producers about that. a little realism thrown in there. "no ordinary family" and "modern family" both on abc. and your name is julie. julie bowen's name also is julie. >> all the time. >> jimmy: they do. >> they do. >> i mean for years prior to being on the show i used to go

into auditions and be introduced as julie bowen and i was like you have the wrong actress. >> jimmy: do you hate her? >> no, i love her. i sign her name when a fan comes up to me and thinks i'm her. i'll sign her name jawal al bolani you will? >> i will. i told her this at the emmys and she said it was okay. >> jimmy: she said service okay but you ask after you had done this. >> i give them a hug and i sign her name. >> jimmy: you could sign legal contracts for her, you could have things notarized. a nice arrangement for the two of you. that's fantastic and the show is doing great, i know. >> it's doing really well. it's a lot of fun. >> jimmy: well, sure. you don't have to pay attention to anything going on around you, you just run -- >> run and have beautiful hair. >> jimmy: and run and run. did your boyfriend get you a present for christmas? >> yes. >> jimmy: and you gave him nothing? >> absolutely nothing. >> jimmy: do you give anyone in your family anything? i wonder how hard he's laughing at home as he sits there playing

his atari from when he was a child. space invaders. >> he told me -- i asked him what he wanted, he said he didn't want anything so -- >> jimmy: that's what you gave him. >> yes. >> jimmy: perfect. you know that sometimes when people say that -- do you think he meant it when he said he didn't want anything? >> yes. >> jimmy: uh-huh. and what did you tell him you wanted? >> i gave him a whole list. >> jimmy: you gave him a whole list. well, you are the ideal woman, aren't you? >> yes. >> jimmy: well, i'm sure it all works -- i'm sure it evens out. >> yes, it does. >> jimmy: i'm sure you make it up somehow to him. >> yes. i eat fish heads. >> jimmy: you eat fish head, exactly. well, if you would like to stay, we have something very odd that is going to happen here on the show in a second. do you know about it -- >> i heard about it. >> jimmy: can you stay? >> i would love to. >> jimmy: don't go zipping off around like -- >> i won't go zooping. >> jimmy: very good. julie benz, everybody. watch "no ordinary family" tuesday night at 8:00 here on
