to father's day. and we are always online at abcnews.com. have a great night, america. >> dicky: tonight on an all-new "jimmy kimmel live" -- >> jimmy: al qaeda today announced they found a replacement for osama bin laden. thanks to all of you who called in and texted your votes. >> dicky: cedric the entertainer. >> jimmy: you are in a big movie coming up. >> i play lamar in this movie. >> jimmy: black guy? >> dicky: futurist ray kurzweil. >> this is part of me. i would like to put it in my body. >> jimmy: i can get it in there. sunday will be a good day for arnold schwarzenegger. this year, he get sli
12:02 am
>> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live!" tonight -- cedric the entertainer. inventor and futurist ray kurzweil. and music from breathe carolina. with cleto and the cletones. ♪ it's "jimmy kimmel live" >> dicky: and now, in all honesty, here's jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: hi, everyone.
12:03 am
thank you, cleto. i'm jimmy, i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. thank you for coming out to see us. i'm here to entertain you and i hope i succeed. you know this isn't the screening for "mr. popper's penguins," right? father's day is on sunday. i tell you what, this father's day has got to be the number one day for selling barbecue aprons in the whole year, right? father's day is the day on which we take some time to say to dad, hey, thanks for having sex with mom. [ laughter ] sunday will be a good day for arnold schwarzenegger, this year, he gets an extra gift. [ laughter ] if you haven't purchased a gift for your father, we're going to help you out tonight. we've scoured craigslist to hopefully find the perfect last minute gifts. we will present those in a minute for you. one of the items for sale is a rake, so -- [ laughter ] if your dad is a fan of the boston bruins hockey team, he
12:04 am
got the best present ever last night. bruins beat the canucks to win their first stanley cup in 39 years. the highest rated stanley cup game ever for nba. more than 1,000 people tuned in to watch. you know -- [ applause ] hockey is a great sport. it doesn't get the attention that some of the other sports do. but one hockey tradition i love, they allow players from the winning team to each spend a night alone with the stanley cup. which is kind of cool. they do a similar thing in the nba, only instead of the cup, it's a kardashian, but -- [ laughter ] special tradition. the bruins beat the canucks 4-0, and the city of vancouver did not take the loss in their town well. they had riots. and, in vancouver, see, this is what happens when extreme couponing goes unchecked. almost 100 people were arrested. nearly 150 people were hospitalized. look at this. port-a-potties were being attacked.
12:05 am
and -- i have to say -- the things we do to port-a-potties are disgraceful. and someone set a car on fire, which is always a good idea. >> somebody left it here, probably went down and caught the game and right now it's on fire. >> jimmy: look at that. that's what happens when you have free national health care. you can take risks like this. and this is probably my favorite. now, you see, the police started using flash grenades. that guy -- got one right in the flash grenade. there you go again. bingo. give anthony weiner's wife any ideas. it was pandemonium last night in one of the safest, nicest cities in the world. roll this tape. just, look at what went on here. this is -- after a 4-0 shutout. understand if you --
12:06 am
[ laughter ] punches were being thrown. hoofs were being pressed. you see here, moose were going crazy. docks were humping. and photographs were taken. you know -- it looked like a palin family reunion, you know? [ laughter ] i have to say, i don't know where this came from all of a sudden. but i like angry canada, you know? makes me feel less bad about our behavior. canadians in general are very polite, reasonable, but this new side, it was like watching katie couric get drunk and beat matt lawy lauer's ass. it was fun. they seem to be playing it up over there. >> canada. where the people aren't nice anymore. ♪ canada. [ bleep ] much.
12:07 am
[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: from the tourism board. it's almost like they don't want us to visit. which makes me want to visit. it's called reverse psychiatry. no major problems in dallas, as the mavericks held their victory parade today. more than 200,000 fans gathered in 100 degree heat to welcome their heros home. they wereerenaded by their gentle german giant and mvp, dirk nowitzki. ♪ we are the champions ♪ we are the champions ♪ no time for losing ♪ because we are the champions ♪ ♪ of the world >> jimmy: what a beautiful si singing voice he has. like when young frankenstein sang "putting on the ritz." suddenly shaq's rapping doesn't
12:08 am
sound so bad. the big news today, the resignation of congressman weiner in new york. weiner resigned from congress this afternoon, weeks after accidentally posting a close-up photo of his underpants online. you know what? new york's 9th district's loss is bally's total fitness's locker room's game. i guess the pressure was too much for him. you know, it's funny. president clinton had sex and lied about it, he kept his job. weiner didn't have sex and lied about it. if you are going to lie, you might as well have sex. >> about 20 years ago, i stood in this very same room here at the council center and asked my neighbors for their help to take a chance on me. and elected me to city council. >> jimmy: why would he have that shot up on the screen? he's an exhibitionist. i think resigning was a selfish move. his constituents the people who voted him into office, need him. and more importantly, my monologue needs him. [ laughter ]
12:09 am
i'm actually thinking of hiring him here at the show as a cameraman, put him on our set. get shots like this. my eyes are up here. [ laughter ] weiner said pretty much what you would expect him to say at the press conference. he said now is the time for reflection, which, i think he's probably spent enough time looking into the mirror. he said he wants to become a better person. can a man really change in a couple of weeks? it didn't seem like it to me. >> with god's help and with hard work we will all be successful. thank you and good often. >> well, there you have it. he spoke for almost exactly four minutes, answering those questions. >> reporter: now, that, to me, is a warning sign. [ applause ] oh, thank you. if you have -- if you have kids, there's a good chance they've been hearing the word weiner a lot lately. and how do you explain a sex scandal before you even explain sex? it's a difficult position for a
12:10 am
parent to be in. so, we put together a song that will hopefully go a long way in explaining these types of situations. >> hey, dad. what's a sex scandal? and what does it have to do with our political system? >> everything, son. it's called the pursuit of happiness. and it's guaranteed by our founding fathers. >> it is? >> sure it is. just see, way back in revolution time. ♪ a man named thomas jefferson ♪ wrote the declaration that made us free ♪ ♪ it took a slave of concubine ♪ he [ bleep ] so much ♪ he knocked her up six times ♪ and didn't admit paternity ♪ he loved that pursuit of happiness ♪ ♪ pursuit of happiness ♪ love, life, liberty snsz and

[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: oh, that's -- i think
12:12 am
you get the idea. al qaeda today announced they found a replacement for osama bin laden. thanks to all of you who called in and texted your votes. j.lo and steven tyler will take osama bin laden's place as head of al qaeda. no, the man who will step in as the new leader of al qaeda is this guy. [ laughter ] terrorist portrait studio. first name is in ayman, as in, hey, man, you want to spend the rest of your life hiding and watching crappy tv until you are killed in your underpants by a team of navy s.e.a.l.s? i contindon't know this is like they replaced becky on "roseanne." nobody buys it. of course, al zawahiri gets all the perks of being the chief. own cave. use of the corporate donkey for

[ laughter ] and one more thing. it's thursday night. time for our weekly tribute to the fcc where we bleep and blur things whether they need it or not. it is "this week in unnecessary censorship." >> why this generated a lot of attention. but i got a lot of other [ bleep ] to do. >> about 20 years ago, i stood in this same room here at the council center and asked my neighbors for their help to take a [ bleep ] on me. >> from here in southern california says he wants to [ bleep ] the body of osama bin laden. >> i think we're a veteran team. we [ bleep ] from behind all season long. >> the most penalized series in 25 years. but yet, they'll be hand [ bleep ] at the end of the

[ applause ] >> jimmy: oh, snuffy. hey, on the show tonight, cedric the entertainer is here. ray kurzweil is here to tell us about the future. we have music from breathe carolina. and, when we come back, we'll going to help you find a father's day gift on craigslist, so stick around. you are the next trending topic.

>> jimmy: hi there, welcome back. tonight on the show, a man who, starting july 1st, you can see opposite tom hanks and julia roberts in the movie "larry crown," cedric the entertainer is here. and then, this guy is fascinating, he's a scientist, an inventor, and an author who will enlighten and, probably frighten us with his theory about computers and humans becoming one. he believes it will happen soon. it's the subject of this documentary "transcendent man," ray kurzweil is with us. one of the things that ray says is that, not too long now we'll be able to create anything we want, any object using inexpensive terribles. so, if you want a plane, you can program that into a machine and have a plane. that sounds dangerous, doesn't it? you can even possibly have your own oprah. i don't know. we'll find out. and finally the latest band

12:20 am
>> i'll sell it to you later. >> jimmy: how much? >> $5 million. >> jimmy: how about $100? would you sell it to me for $100? >> i have to take to my wife. >> jimmy: you don't have a wife, do you? all right, go ahead. thank you very much, mike. if you want to buy mike's item, search for gameboy color in the los angeles area. who is next? oh, hello there. we have eileen. how are you? nice to meet you. thank you for coming. now, you have a -- umbrella for sale. not just any umbrella. this is broken.

[ laughter ] >> yeah. >> jimmy: also to go with maybe the "jersey shore" phone there, the duck there. that would be -- use that in your ad. >> okay, thanks. >> jimmy: thank you, eileen. go to craigslist los angeles, search for carved handle umbrella, $5. all right. next seller is sal. hi, sal. how are you? now, sal, you were here once

of the soviet union and the rise of the internet and believes that it won't be long before computers and humans merge, to form something i call compumans. this is his documentary, it's called "transcendent man." please welcome ray kurzweil. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: well, first of all, i saw the documentary and it's so interesting. i have many, many questions for you. can you start by giving us some of your credentials so people know who you are and what you've done? >> well, i invented the flat bed scanner. first read mag sheen for the blind. first music synthesizer that can recreate instruments. speech recognition. >> jimmy: those things. and now -- well, you have in the past predicted many times predicted the future and you are usually very right on. and one of the things that you
12:42 am
talk about is the sing lairty. what is the sing lairty? >> well, you know, when i was a student at m.i.t., we used a computer that took up half a build, cost tens of millions of dollars. this is thousands of times more powerful and a million times cheaper. so, that's a billion times more computer per dollar. in 25 years, this will be a billion times more powerful again, per dollar, it will be the size of a blood cell. we'll have millions of them in our body keeping us healthy, from inside, going in our brains, interacting with our biological neurons, making us matter, allowing us to intervirtual reality environments. so, we'll be merging with our technology. and the neck nothing technology expanding. it doubles in power every year. after ten years, it multiplies by 1,000. >> jimmy: now, what happens with the computers, when they become smarter than we are? >> we are going to merge with
12:43 am
them. it's not an invasion from mars. >> jimmy: are you sure? >> well, last time i checked, we're creating them and we're -- they're extensions of ourselves. this is part of me. i would like to put it in my body. >> jimmy: what? well -- >> little bit too big. there are people who do have -- >> jimmy: i could get it in there. [ laughter ] >> well, people have done that, like, parkinson's patients who have a computer that connects to their brain and replaces the w neurons destroyed by the disease. we'll be able to do that without surgery in 25 years. >> jimmy: now, 25 years, you say. what -- what will life be like, what do you think it will be bike during our grandchildren's time? or will we have grandchildren? >> well, i plan to be around. >> jimmy: you are planning to live for a very long time. >> i'm going to take you with me, so -- >> jimmy: yeah, i doubt i'm going to make it that long. >> i think you're looking pretty
12:44 am
