12:06 am
>> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live!" tonight -- kyra sedgwick. blind movie critic jay forry. and music from theophilus london. with cleto and the cletones. ♪ it's "jimmy kimmel live" >> dicky: and now, don't move. here's jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: that's very nice. thank you. i'm jimmy, i i the host of the show. thanks for coming tonight.
12:07 am
thanks, if you're watching at home, i hope you're cool. you know, heat warnings have been issued in 17 states across america. temperatures have been over 100 degrees. so, think of me as a large meat flavored popsicle tonight. why do they give heat warnings? i'm pretty good figuring out that it's hot on my own. you think they do it so if you pass out, they say, hey, we gave you a heat warning, yet you went out and got hot. if only we had some sort of device to cool the air. now, that would be something. in oklahoma yesterday, 13 government buildings were closed due to insufficient air conditioning. the governor declared the entire state a mcconaughey zone, which means it's legal to go to work out a shirt on. in knoxville, iowa the heat index, which i think is the summer version of windchill, got up to 131 degrees. i think you can bake cook keeps at 131 degrees. why is this happening? did god leave a space heater on? this is why we should switch to
12:08 am
celsius. in europe, rarely does it get over 40 degrees because they have celsius over there. [ applause ] thank you. meanwhile, billionaire media tycoon rupert murdoch was sweating a lot thiss morning. he and his son james testified before the british house of commons. rupert murdoch owns news corp. which owns fox and a number of newspapers including "news of the world" which is a tabloid that allegedly hacked intnt the phones of 4,000 people, mostly celebrities. apartly they couldn't wait the 10 minutes for victoria beckham to tweet what she ate for lunch. of course, she doesn't eat lunch, but -- [ applause ] they may also have targeted politicians and even some victims of krirms to get stories, which is a big deal. so, they brought murdoch in for questioning to find out how much
12:09 am
of this he knew about. and throughout the interrogation, he did an odd thing. he kept pounding on the table. watch this. >> i need to asomething. and this is not an excuse. "news of the world" is less than 1% of our company. your employees are proud and great an ethical and -- [ laughter ] >> jimmy: he did finally get it. so, i guess it was a fly. you know, some people -- [ applause ] kiki of interesting. i don't know murdoch, i don't know much about him, but some people think he was intentionally appearing to try to be confused. i don't know, he's an 80-year-old man. don't you have to now how to use a cell phone to hack into one? he paid $580 million for myspace.
12:10 am
obviously he knows nothing about technology. [ applause ] murdoch says he was embarrassed and that today was the most humble day of his life. mostly because every other day involves him swimming in a bathtub full of money like scrooge mcduck. but take a look at this. now, the guy sitting -- oh, no, wait, the guy sitting behind him, note the position of his shirt collar. like somebody forgot to shave down his devil horns before he left the castle this morning. rupert's son james also had a distraction behind him. now, right behind james is joel klein, the guy now touching his nose. he's an executive haven't at news corp. he's in charge of the interm na investigation. he started digging for clues in his nose and then he started going for his head, his ears. and examining the pickings, of the findings, as they're called
12:11 am
in an evidentiary hearing. if this goes on any long erer, will not have a head left. now, see there? that's a guy that should get a monkey, right? [ applause ] he's got the money. got the inclination, certainly. the most interesting part of the hearing today came when a man suddenly attacked murdoch with a pie. which, i think it's nice that people are still throwing pies. it's like seeing somebody wear a walkman or something. here's the video. now, of course, now, he's being asked a question. unusually good looking questioner. i don't know how that happened. now watch this. the pie guy comes in there and -- my favorite part is this policeman. you see that guy? hold on. can we show that in slow motion. watch this again. okay. so, the pie -- his wife attacks the guy with the pie. and here comes the policeman.
12:12 am
[ laughter ] and now comes a woman in a jacket with tails. she looks like a conductor or something. like an episode of "benny hill." then the queen comes in, and spongebob. and finally, the ham-burglar. it's like a "upmonty python" sketch. now, if you are throwing a pie, are you saying, i disapprove of your actions, or, your face is about to get something delicious in it? yesterday, borders announced they are closing all their stores nationwide. i don't think is what the republicans meant by closing or borders, but what are you going to do? [ applause ] but i'll tell you something, and if i can be serious for a moment, this is what happens when oprah retires. we all stop reading. [ laughter ] borders has been around for a long time. there's one right down the block
12:13 am
from us and it's weird to see them going away. i guess people realize that if you order from amazon, there's much slimmer chance of getting a book with a booger w wed inside of it. borders employed more than 10,000 people who will lose their jobs, which is a shame. but i think i figured out a way to save borders. a couple of very small changes. border borders could reinvent itself into hooters. just switch a few letters around. [ applause ] you know, my book club has been meeting at hooters for years. here in california, ventura county sheriffs officials said they found ander rad kated 68,000 marijuana plants. they discovered camp sites in the mountains with tents, sleeping bags, several million dollars worth of smores. they called in the fire department to burn the
12:14 am
marijuana. they brought the world's largest bong and set it on fire. and everyone headed to denny's for all you can eat griddle cakes. but -- you know, pot is kind of legal here. $200 million worth of pot burned. meanwhile, because of budget cuts, kids in l.a. have to bring their own toilet paper to school. couldn't we have just held an enormous bake sale with some very special brownies on it? [ applause ] yes, we could have. do you think snoop dogg feels a disturbance in the force when -- [ laughter ] like when obi wan felt alderon get blown up? last night on "the bachelorette," ashley narrowed the field down to three men. and she's going to marry all of them. i've been losing interest in this season of "the bachelorette" lately. so, this highlights three of the most interesting things on the show. when ashley or someone says like. when ashley or someone says
12:15 am
connection. they say that a lot. and when she plays with her bangs. >> like. >> like. >> like. >> connection. >> bangs. >> like. >> connection. >> bangs. >> like. >> connection. >> bangs. bangs. bangs. >> like, like, like. connection, bangs. only on abc. >> jimmy: see, now, that is more entertaining. [ applause ] meanwhile, on a another beloved reality program, tonight on "deadliest catch," this is a show about crab fishermen in alaska. they are in an intense environment. people die tries to catch crabs, which, i caught them in college very easily. but anyway, on tonight's episode, the captain of the ship had a physical altercation with own of the cameramen from the show. it was pretty good. we thought it would be better if we took the aud yes from the fight and changed out the video from the show with video from the superman cartoon. and, well, we were right. >> hey. you don't do [ bleep ] and here. >> what are you talking about?
12:16 am
>> i asked you to make me a pot of coffee three [ bleep ] times this season and you're too busy sleeping. >> i'm too busy sleeping making -- >> don't you [ bleep ] get in my face, do you understand me? do you understand? >> what the [ bleep ] is that? >> go to bed or go on deck -- >> get out of my [ bleep ] face. >> jimmy: the man of steel has quite a potty mouth. they used his heat vision to boil the crabs instantly. one more thing. some sad news, as jennifer lopez and marc anthony announced that after seven years of marriage, they are filing for divorce. friends they is couple drifted apart when she saw a picture of them together and realized he looks like a goblin wearing sunglasses. but it's said. you know, you hate to see two people you don't know at all splitting up for reasons that are entirely none of your business. but no one was more upset about this than our parking lot security guard guillermo.
12:17 am
right guillermo? he actually tweeted about this while we were on break. yeah, there it is. "well, jennifer lopez and marc anthony split. no good. i i ve them as a couple." why did you love them as a couple? >> they look good together. >> jimmy: they look good together? >> yeah. >> jimmy: really? >> yeah. >> jimmy: all right. well, obviously this was hard news for guillermo to hear. but i thought it would be nice if we learned something from this unpleasant experience. bad things sometimes happen. i thought it might be helpful for people that you have to break the news to your security guards -- this is how i handled it and i think it worked out okay. guillermo. can i talk to you for a second? >> wait, give me a minute. okay. go ahead. >> jimmy: i'm not sure how to tell you this so i'm just going
12:18 am
to come right out and say it. j.lo and marc anthony are getting divorced. >> oh, no. divorced? >> jimmy: yeah. we still have lamar odom and khloe kardashian, right? >> no! no! no! no! no! no! no! no! no! >> jimmy: guillermo. >> i have to go do something crazy, jimmy. muy crazcrazy! >> jimmy: muy crazy? no!ahh! no! >> hey, watch it! >> just drive, stranger. >> jimmy: so, that's how you do it. [ applause ]
12:19 am
12:20 am

all? >> no call. >> jimmy: who calls you? >> your publicist there was no call. >> jimmy: my publicist calls you? i was wondering what he was doing. so, you are kind of waiting by the phone, or are you sleeping at the time? >> i have to admit, i spoke up early. >> jimmy: you did? >> i had bad dreams all night about it and i kind of thought it wasn't going to happen. so, i must have sensed something. >> jimmy: this would be, by the way a great time to crank call your other celebrity friends. at 5:00 in the morning when they are waiting for that call, you could really -- >> that would havav been awesom. >> jimmy: we have to make a note of that. >> oh, my god. but -- you know, and then afterwards there was all these articles, you know, about everything, and then -- >> jimmy: saying you should have been nominated? >> i'm not word with the word snub, but i -- [ laughter ] but you know, i'm such a controllllg, like, you know, solution-oriented person that i actually thought, well, you know, when i finally called my publicist, said, what's going
12:28 am
on? and she said, you didn't get nominated. i thought, well, surely there's something we can do. there's a call that can be made. maybe kevin can call. >> jimmy: really? you wanted kevin to make some calls? >> no, it's just -- and then you're like, no, actually, no. >> jimmy: too late at a certain point. even kevin could not solve this crisis. >> but you know, my cast member was, maryy mcdonaldas nominated. so we were happy for her. so, that made it all okay. >> jimmy: did it really? >> yes, it really did. plus place. >> jimmy: more or less, right? takes a little bit of the sting. maybe it adds sting. i don't know. >> it took the sting out. absolutely. >> jimmy: why is the show ending? why is this the last season of the show? >> um -- i just really felt like it would be great to go out on top, you know? >> jimmy: i see. >> i just thought it would a really great thing. it's been a long time. it's been seven years.

[ cheers and applause ] jay, this is not a comedy bit. you really are a movie reviewer, a movie critic. you are registered with the society or whatever there is? >> yeah, i'm a member of the broadcast films critics association. we vote on movies every year. >> jimmy: did you have to apply far position in that association? >> yes. i -- eight years ago, i had to apply. they had to make sure i do enough radio reviews. that's what i'm famous for. >> jimmy: i heard you on kroc a lot. movies, though you can't see them, at all. >> exactly right.
12:52 am
yeah. what i do is, someone has to take me down to the movie. i can't drive yet, even though i'm blind. but so, someoneakes me, i go in and -- before i do the movie, i do a little bit of research. i know -- i i want to know what the setting is, what the date, the time, and then i go to the movie. i don't want to go in blind. i want to know what's going on.. [ applause ] >> jimmy: are there advantages? i imagine there would be, in a way. are there advantages -- besides, like, if somebody tall in sitting in front of you, you don't have to worry about it. are there advantages to being blind as far as reviewing a movie goes? >> well, one of the advantages is, for example, i don't have to worry about -- i'm listening for good sound, if it's -- there's a movie called "master and commander" and it had, you could hear the sound of the sail hitting the, in the wind, the
12:53 am
waves hitting the ship. and the sounds and good diaiague make a difference. yeah. while other people are watching gorgeous women, special effects in 3d, i'm listening to actual plot and story line. >> jimmy: you have no idea what megan fox, for instance, looks like? >> well, not unless -- well, we won't go there. [ applause ] >> jimmy: okay, so, do have a seeing eye dog side kick that givens paws up or anything? >> no, you know what? jimmy, this is funny. whwh i first became a movie critic, and i had only been blind a few years, i got a dog, seeing eye dog. a big black lab. and i was with my wife, we're going into the movie, and i wasn't doing screenings yet. still doing the radio. and so we're walking in, we're at the front, and he had never been to a movie theater before, big black lab. he's a little nervous. so, of course, we're outside, he
12:54 am
pees on the sidewalk. we get inside the lo lobby, oka he takes a dump in the lobby. she cleaned it up. now, the movie has started. and we're standing back there and she's looking for a seat. and, all of a sudden, somebody screams. i go, oh, my wife rushes to the seat. i go, what happened? she goes, the dog's name was omar, she goes, there's a guy there sitting back there in the dark, kind of leaned down like is and omar had stuck his nose in the guy's ear. and when the guy looked over, he sees this big black face, just, ahh, he screamed. >> jimmy: so omar doesn't come to the movies anymore. >> exactly. well, i only had him six months, because i always had people taking me -- >> jimmy: you have seeing eye people. >> right. my wife was going to get a t-shirt that says, don't pet me, i'm working, so --
12:55 am
[ laughter ] >> jimmy: and how long have you been blind? >> oh, i've been blind 22, 23 years. >> jimmy: and before that, were you a movie critic? >> no, i was a foreman for a steel crew. if i wanted to keep on doing that, i would need a seeing eye cat. >> jimmy: what made you decide that, okay, well, now i'm blind, i should start reviewing movies? >> believe it or not, i went back to college. i went to college, i went to community college in florida and while i was there, first of all, i wanted t t really be -- get involved in college excitement and experience. so, i ran for student government and, haven't, and i won, because all other the school, vote for jay forry, vice president, he
12:56 am

[ laughter ] >> they're all zero d too me.
12:57 am
>> jimmy: what about "avatar?" did you like that? i'm trying to imagine watching that with my eyes closed. >> it felt like -- the plot was just like a western. i didn't enjoy it. the visuals, obviously were what was all about. it wasn't a bad movie, but if you're blind, not the best. [ applause ] >> jimmy: what's your favorite movie of all time? >> oh, it's hard to believe, because i'm blind, you would think, you know, this would not be, but "the sixth sense." is a great, you know, is a great story, great twists and turns. i'm a little jealous, jimmy. the boy in the film has six senses, i only have four. [ applause ] >> jimmy: and what movie -- what's the movie that you saw that you just went, like, i don't like this at all, maybe something that other people enjoyed? >> john thravolta around? >> jimmy: he's sitting right beside you.
12:58 am
>> there was a movie, you probably didn't see it, years ago -- >> jimmy: neither did you. >> that's true. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: which one was it? >> one called "battlefield earth." >> jimmy: oh, yeah, yeah. >> that movie was so bad. if i could have found the door to the theater, i would have left. i was stuck there! [ applause ] >> jimmy: well, this is great. you really -- i guess -- do you find you're inspiring other blind people to go to the movies? >> actually, once in awhile, i hear someone, you know, that is -- a lot of times i hear that blind people go to movies. they now have things at some theaters where you can wear, like, a headset and the movies are described, so, there are some theaters that actually have that, so, i always have somebody with me, i go to the screenings early, i'm spoiled, so -- >> jimmy: yeah, sure.
