he was the top-rated host on cable channel msnbc and tonight, he's out. keith olbermann announced on the air this evening that he was leaving msnbc. >> this is the last edition of "countdown." just under eight-year-o years s returned. i was supposed to fill in for three days. 49 days later, there was a contract sitting for me. the show established its position as anti-establishment, from the stagecraft of mission accomplished to the exaggerated rescue of jessica lynch in iraq to the death of pat tillman to hurricane katrina to the nexus of politics and terror to the first special comment.

the program grew thanks to your suppo support. >> the controversial host helped create the cable channel's left of center political identity and helped make the channel competitive. but there were rocky moments, most recently november when olbermann was suspended for two days for making political contributions. tonight, executives are saying the move has nothing to do with the acquisition of nbc universal by cable giant comcast. that is our report for tonight. from all of us at abc news, good night, america, and we hope you have a great weekend. >> jimmy: hi, i'm jimmy kimmel. tonight, james mcavoy. from "the way back," jim sturgess. we have music from kt tunstall.

cold outside. >> it is cold outside. >> it's 50 degrees outside. [ applause ] >> jimmy: i had to wear a shirt to work this morning. it's very, very chilly. more snow and ice is on the way to the east coast. in pittsburgh, there was one icy road in particular that -- check this out. turned into -- almost acrobatic. it became a monster truck rally. see, there's a guy just hanging out on like, a hill or something. i like that instead of going down to the top of the street to warn cars not to go down the hill he just hung out up top with a video camera and -- well, we have to feed youtube, you know? video's not going to make themselves. oprah, by the way, oprah beat the weather in chicago with a

trip to australia. today was her final day in australia. she liked it so much she put it on a boat and is having it shipped back to her house. oprah saved her -- she gave her -- she gave them so much stuff besides the trip. she saved her biggest giveaway for the final show. each member of oprah's audience, and i hope this doesn't make you guys jealous. but each member went home with their own aborigine. [ laughter ] it really is amazing how many people came out to see oprah in another country. you know she's powerful here but to see thousands and thousands of people there -- and i got a little misty when she dug into her farewell blooming onion. i really did. oprah got a huge reception in australia. but i tell you, the response to, back home, to oprah's new tv channel has not been enthusiastic. in fact, for the second week since it premiered two weeks ago, ratings fell 20% among women over 25, who along with

male nurses are her key demographic, which -- and tell you, kind of makes you wonder if america is getting tired of oprah. i mean, it's -- [ laughter ] i mean, and, of course -- of course the answer is no, america isn't getting tired of oprah at all. [ cheers and applause ] we love her. and we welcome her. all the days of our lives amen. better start watching that channel. another television institution that's losing ratings lately is "american idol." "american idol" is down 20% from last year and part of it is you attribute to losing simon cowell but the other part is, people who win "american idol" don't turn out to be music stars. last year, lee dewyze won and -- has he recorded any songs? i don't know. we haven't heard much from him. and the year before was chris allen who now, i think, owns an

aborby's in pennsylvania. the show used to be a launching pad for big stars but it isn't anymore. that catches up to you. like if they paid the contestants on jeopardy monopoly money. you want to see something at the end. but i tell you, you have to hand it to the producers. there's one area where contestants of all types are excelling. and now you can see and hear them all on this exciting new dvd. >> "american idol" launched their careers. and here's where they landed. introducing "idols sing the anthem." including taylor hicks at a nascar truck race. ♪ oh say can you see >> season nine runner up crystal powersox. ♪ oh say >> season two finalist josh gracin. ♪ can you >> yes, sir is a seer is ya at a

no one's ever had a chicken chase them down and snap their neck, you know? the place is called boca tacos and tequila. it comes with a side of hakuna matata tater tots. thank you. see, now, this is what happens when you kick all the mexicans out of your state. you forget how to make tacos. i don't know what to put in there. lion? [ laughter ] mtv has a controversial new show called "skins." this is an american take on a british show that's getting a lot of criticism for its graphic depictions of teen sex. the parents television council is asking the justice department to open an investigation into it. they called the show the most dangerous program ever for children. they obviously haven't seen "toddlers and tiaras." or "kate plus eight" for that

matter. [ applause ] mtv's biggest show, "jersey shore" set a ratings record last night. almost 9 million viewers for the show. that is huge for cable. but to me, it's a little bit hard to understand how the ratings are going up. for the most part, it's the same thing over and over again. somebody gets drunk, somebody has sex, juice head goes in the hot tub, someone calls her boyfriend on the phone, it's repetitive. so, what we've done is, to mix it up, we took the audio from last night's show and mixed it with the video from an old episode of "scooby doo." >> we're going to do the boardwalk tonight. i'm really excited because i feel like nicole is going to be happy all over again and i miss that about her. ♪ >> even though i just met him, nick feels like the perfect juice head gorilla for me. and i also kind of want to have sex with him already. i pray to the gods to have a nice juice head gorilla and i

question? both of our names are james. >> and the other one is scottish. it's all like a big, huge orgy, really. nonsexual but kind of, if you know what i mean. >> jimmy: why go with james instead of jim? is it something your parents decided? >> i've never been called jim. one guy called jockey that calls me jim and he's scottish, as well. >> jimmy: what is his name? jockey? his real name? >> his real name is jim. >> jimmy: is he a little guy? >> no. >> jimmy: big guy? >> he's about 5'9" and very -- he used to be a farmer before he became an actor and -- what is that funny for? actors, farmers. i don't see the comedy connection but i'm glad you're having a good time. and, yeah, so, jim -- jim -- yeah. i'm going to stop. >> jimmy: james t. kirk? captain cantor? i don't know.

>> i don't understand the connection. >> jimmy: it seems more manly to be james than jimmy. >> some of my pals call my floyd, as well. >> jimmy: why? >> because they call my jimmy because of james and then my favorite football player was jimmy floyd hasselbeck and then they just dropped the jimmy and called my floyd. >> jimmy: really? >> some people know me and call my floyd and they don't know the story behind it. wild. >> jimmy: they just go with floyd. >> my life is incredible. >> jimmy: you're from scotland, obviously. in scotland, i don't know a lot about other countries. i know it sounds stupid. do you wear kilts to school or how does that work? >> well, i don't think there's -- i have never seen it in school but we wear them to weddings and things like that. >> jimmy: formal events? >> kind of. or alcohol or drug-fueled events. like a scotland international

soccer match or something. >> jimmy: okay. >> i did used to wear my kilt. i went through a phase, probably about a week where i said, i'm scottish, i can wear my kilt. it doesn't need to be a special occasion. i can wear it with a t-shirt and manly boots. and i just go to the store and i would buy eggs and milk and stuff and i was in the pub with my friends. i had a beer, you know, being silly. you look like an idiot. so, that -- that stopped. >> jimmy: so the kilt went in the drawer. >> wear it at weddings and stuff. >> jimmy: it's the law or something. >> and you have to have no underwear, as well. >> jimmy: there's no underwear under the kilt? >> you're not allowed, otherwise appare apparently the fascists call you not a scotsman. but if you happen to be out past 6:00 in my hometown, wearing a kilt, and you happen to be a true scotsman, that's not wearing any underwear, you are definitely going to get at least five or six women strip you

naked and check by tugging it. >> jimmy: really? >> i don't mean tugging it for, like, you know -- >> jimmy: and that's -- [ cheers and applause ] >> i don't mean like tugging it to -- >> jimmy: they do that for free? >> well, you know -- these things are going to cost you eventually and the stds are not desirable. >> jimmy: well, you're not going to get anything from tugging it. [ laughter ] >> i'm going to be in so much trouble when i go back to scotland. >> jimmy: yeah, really. >> i love you all. >> jimmy: just never go back. you have a strong accent. when you play a role, is it hard for you to lose it? >> no, not really. >> jimmy: even no sounds like new. >> i know. i know. and i think for some people that i work with, they get worried that even if the accent is good, they wonder. i did a movie with robert redford last year, about a year

ago, and he quite often said to me, i would prefer it if you stay in the american accent all the time. so i found that quite hard and -- >> jimmy: offcamera? >> yeah, i'd make a phone call, i'd be doing it with an american accent, it was strange. and the only other experience i had with forrest whitaker, he stayed in character the whole time. kind of weird. i may be embarrassing -- >> jimmy: hopefully just the accent he went with there. >> and robert said, listen, i'm finding this really difficult, i'm in an american accent right now. i'm me, i'm not american and when the camera is not rolling i would rather be me. i said, is there a problem, are you worried about the accent not being good enough? he said no, i just can't understand a word you're saying. so, you know -- >> jimmy: well, at the director's pleasure, i guess.

>> you do whatever he says. >> jimmy: that's right. robert redford. you speak in a mexican accent if he wants you to. >> i would give it a bash. i think i would get done for all kind of racism acts but i would try it. >> jimmy: you are shooting the next x-men movie right now. >> yes, "first class," set in the '60s. >> jimmy: you're playing professor x -- >> before he loses the hair, yeah. and kind of nice to play the young patty stewart -- sir patrick stewart. >> jimmy: he was in "star trek," unkwl fracle frank. >> i know. >> he's jean-luc picard. very manly. can i do my impression? >> jimmy: yeah, absolutely. >> engage. >> jimmy: nicely done. [ applause ] >> a lot of "star trek" fans

tonight. >> jimmy: do you like being in los angeles? a lot of people hate it here. >> i found a new love for it on four wheels, really. until like a year ago i didn't drive and -- >> jimmy: anywhere or drive here? >> i drove motorcycles but not cars. and it was -- it was a life style choice. but i was in laguna about a year ago we spent a couple of weeks down there having a little vacation. it was lovely. did a lot of snorkeling. we withere on the pch and as we were going to the shake shack, this guy was walking past and clearly walking from newport beach to laguna and he wasn't a hobo, just decided to have a walk, i think. and this car slowed down, a young guy, looked like a nice guy, you know, he only had that a little bit, and he decided to slow down the car, lean out the window and go, get a car, loser! i was like, whoa, man!

so, that made me -- i know, it was kind of harsh. so that made me think i should learn to drive, lest i be a californian loser. >> jimmy: really find inspiration anywhere. >> i'm scared of the angry masses. i do whatever they say. >> jimmy: you have to remember to drive on the right side of the road. >> i was in jacksonville about three -- five weeks ago and i nearly -- i went onto slip road for the highway in the wrong lane and that was terrifying. i could have ended my life. i don't know if i'm be deported for saying that, but -- but that could have been really dangerous. >> jimmy: you'll be fine. many of the female celebrities do it constantly here. >> really? which ones? >> jimmy: you know which ones. [ applause ] now, this movie you're in is an animated movie and i hear it's very good. i hear it's really good, called "gnomeo and juliet." elton john is an executive

producer. was that fun working with him? >> i didn't meet him until about four hours ago. >> jimmy: oh, so he was very hands on. >> he's been working on the film for 11 years, i've been working on it for three years and we met four hours ago. the man is all over it. >> jimmy: he just had a baby, too. >> he did. i didn't know this until today. everybody was asking me, what's your opinion on him having a baby, and i was like -- i thought he was gay, but -- and then -- [ applause ] but i didn't understand. so then they kind of -- they explained what happened to me. i didn't know. i've been working, and we are working 24/7. so i've not been watching the news or reading the paper. so, i was very moved. and he came and talked to me about having babies and stuff. very happy for him. >> jimmy: emily blunt is your co-voice star. very nice. >> very wonderful. >> jimmy: and we have a clip here. do you need to set this up? >> this is really good for kids

and take them and all that stuff. >> jimmy: here we go. >> what's in a gnome? oh, at any rate, that shouldn't be the thing to keep us apart, should it? >> no, no, it shouldn't. i couldn't have said it better myself. >> oh, my -- did you just hear that? what are you doing here? >> i don't know. i came here -- well -- i just wanted to see you again. >> are you crazy? if dad finds you he'll bury you under the patio. >> find me. are you kidding? stealth is my middle name. >> turn it off! >> i'm trying. >> jimmy: james mcavoy, everybody. we'll be right back with jim sturgess. >> father: going the wrong way can make a long family road trip... >> you think we'll be there soon?

s shtick is to pull people apart. >> jimmy: and that he does. how are you? how is everything going? >> no, good, yeah. >> jimmy: this movie looks very heavy. >> pretty intense as far as films go. >> jimmy: i've never been to siberia, so -- >> i nearly have. >> jimmy: tell us what it's about? >> it's based on a book called "the long walk." it's about a group of prisoners who escaped a camp and they walked on foot to freedom from siberia to india. it's a true story. >> jimmy: that's a long -- i would have stopped sooner than india. why india? >> i don't even know if i would have broken through the gates. i would have stayed where i was. >> jimmy: it must -- it must have been some what miserable to make this movie. >> about as tough as it gets. the entire film the shot outdoors. no scenes in studios. we did bit of studio work. once we escaped the camp, all on camera all the time outside.

we were in the bulgarian mountains, and it was freezing cold. >> jimmy: are there places to stay up there, do you bring tents? >> we couldn't have the luxury of our tailers. we had the base camp to get changed in the mornings and we would have to take a two-hour drive up to the mountains. so, yeah, we could all sit huddled in a tent. >> jimmy: in the bulgarian mountains, there are inns or something? >> there was a hotel we got to say in. surviving the hotel was about as big an achievement as surviving the movie. >> jimmy: bad hotels? >> a lot of prostitution in the hotel. for some people, that can work, some, kind of scary. >> jimmy: they put you in a hooker hotel? >> pretty much. [ applause ] and i was -- >> jimmy: nice amenity. >> i lucked out. you would have to see the hookers, though. but yeah, it was full-on. it was like, there was a lap dancing club in the lobby of the

hotel. >> jimmy: no. >> in the lobby. >> jimmy: what? >> i was only one of the actors that stayed there. most of them took a look and was out. i stayed. not for the -- >> jimmy: of course not. the room service. >> the room service was almost as bad. i was asleep in bed and, as you do. >> jimmy: often. almost every night. >> we were filming so hard and we basically, i had to get up at 5:00 in the morning to start and 1:00 in the morning, there was a knock on the door and i opened the door and it was a guy standing there with a credit card swiper, you know? with this lady -- >> jimmy: oh, no. >> and i was like -- i thought maybe i hadn't paid for some dinner or something like that or -- i owed them some money. i didn't understand what was happening. 1:00 in the morning. and then it sort of -- oh, he's offering me this incredible

looking lady. >> jimmy: and what happened? >> i was a true english gentleman. i politely declined and went back to bed. >> jimmy: wow. wow. i'm going to have to get the name of that hotel. >> i just saw a giant perm at the front of my door. >> jimmy: it was convenienconve. when i order a pizza, i have to give my number over the phone and sometimes the guy only has a pencil and he rubs all over your credit card. >> no messing around. swipe and -- [ applause ] >> jimmy: you -- your co-stars in the movie, coliner ferrell, harris. were they fun? >> we had an amazing time. once the kind of characters break out of the prison, we're the only cast in the entire film, pretty much. so, we spend kind of all day every day, in the middle of

nowhere. >> jimmy: i heard you took survival classes, what, is that right? >> yeah, it was like. well -- there was a lot of, like, research. i looked into a guy called bear grylls. you know him. if you don't, he's an english survival expert. for me, i was the leader of the group, i was the one with survival expertise, as it were. so, i was reading and watching the documentaries and i found this one with bear, and he was saying, if you're ever on a kind of sloped, you know, if you are on a slope and you need to conserve energy and you need to keep moving, keep walking, which obviously our characters did. the best thing to do is to just roll down the hill, rather than try to walk. and so we were doing this scene where we were sort of waist-deep in snow. it was -- it's like another sport, you nope, trekking through snow like that. so, we get -- and it's a big dramatic sequence where we just escaped the camp and the pressure is on and we have to get out of where we are into

safety and so i'm at the front, i'm leading the team and i'm thinking, this is it, this is my moment, this is my bear grylls moment. i'm going to do the bear grylls roll. it's going to be epic, it's going to be heroic. i'm going to look amazinamazing. everyone is going to be like, wow, this guy knows his survival. so, i went for the roll, you know, i thought, peter is going to think -- >> jimmy: the director. >> this is going to be heroic. i can hear it with the music. it's going to be huge. and i went to roll and i didn't even make it 360 degrees. i just landed flat on my back in the snow with this backpack on with my legs like, in the air like this.
