secrets special, "mommywood," at 10:00 eastern, 9:00 central. and we're e ways online at abcnews.com. we'll see you here tomorrow. >> dicky: tonight on an all new "jimmy kimmel live" -- >> jimmy: obama urged the american people to call congress and demand that both parties work together on a compromise. the calls are 99 cents for the first minute and a trillion dollars each additional minute. >> dicky: daniel craig. >> jimmy: isist great to watch yourself beating people up? >> dicky: sasha alexander. >> jimmy: $500, the first person to come back completely soaking wet. this just turned int3q

take the finish challenge. my name is ashley and my blog is not without salt. when i take pictures of my food, you don't want to see spots on the dishes. i was using cascade actionpacs. they just didn't have that brilliant shine. when i took the finish challenge, i was thrilled. as soon as i opened up the dishwasher, i could tell there was a difference. my dishes had a shine on them. this little guy right here makes my dishes incredibly shiny.

i'm moving on to finish quantum. take the finish challenge for yourself. if you don't see a difference, it's free. >> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live!" tonight -- daniel craig. from "rizzoli and isles", sasha alexander. and music from the features. with cleto and the cletones. ♪ it's "jimmy kimmel live" >> dicky: and now, lo and behold, here's jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: thank you, cleto.

well, hello there, i am jimmy, i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. thanks for, thanks for coming here tonight. i tell you, i'm really starting to like you guys. i really am. i'm glad we have so much harmony here in the room, because in washington, d.c. right now, our fearless leaders are fighting like a hoard of brides in filene's basement. what's been happening is, congress okayed a bunch of spending on wars, prescription drugs, economic stimulus plans, hookers, et cetera. but they also passed a law they call the debt ceiling, which enough money to actually pay for the spending. so, we're stuck. kind of like if your doctor says, you need to lower your cholesterol and you agree, but instead of taking medicine and eating right, you announce if your cholesterol goes over 240, you're going to shoot your heart. and according to a lot of the experts, if they don't settle this by next week, your heart

gets shot. this is such a mess right now, al qaeda is desperately trying to figure out how to take credit for it. if the debt ceiling isn't raised by august 2 pd, thnd, they say, whole country could go into default on its loans and we can't pay our bills, and then america is going to have to ask its parents for municipal. china is especially unhappy about this, because they lent us most of the money. they're so angry they're threatening to flood our country with a bunch of cheap, hazardous products. but still no one wants to compromise. the president had the gal to interrupt "the bachelorette" last night, which -- to give us his take on the impending financial collapse, i think. i really wasn't paying attention. i was playing angry birds. but the president said he needs, quote, dance partner here, and the floor is empty. which, in fairness to the republicans, maybe the floor's empty because you dance like this. ♪

now that's just pandering to white voters, in my opinion. after the president spoke, speaker of the house john boehner gave his response to obama's speech. he said the democrats can't take yes for an answer. which may be true, but technically bend over can't a question. obamamurged the american people to call congress and demand that both parties work together on a compromise. the calls are 99 crept cents fo first minute and a trillion dollars for each additional minute. to be honest, i'm not sure what this debt ceiling is. but it sounds like a very boring john grisham novel. we went out to hollywood boulevard today to ask people to explain to us -- i don't trust the experts, so, we went to the people. and here's what's going on in a nutshell. >> debt ceiling? man, i don't know. >> debt ceiling? i never actually heard that

phrase before until now. >> the debt ceiling is, it's a house on top of a house so it's dark and usually they store things in it. >> i don't know. but i never been there before. >> if you don't pay the debit, china be buy america. >> shiny silver from $1 coin when the coin is more than $1 an ounce and we're selling that coin $1 ounce coin of silverer we could get the debt ceiling to drop back don't. >> when the government hits the debt ceiling, i guess they just -- they start, like, making up new taxes and stuff, like, i went to the water park, i go there a lot, and there's some tax there that says, like, if you bring a float, it's like 20 cre cents more, and that was too much, like, a soft tax that the government made up just to cover

up their mistakes. >> jimmy: thank you. [ applause ] the -- we cut into that education budget and this is what happens. one negotiation that seems to be going well, thank goodness, is the ongoing effort to get judge jennifer lopez back on "american idol" next year. according to "the wall street journal," fox and j. lo are close to a deal. she wants more money, which is a lot, but the fact of the matter is, jennifer lopez has the rare ability to look at a performer, toto evaluate their strengths a weaknesses and can say, "i loved it" to every person she sees.. spike tv just hosted the 15th annual international hooters swimsuit pa jegeant --

[ applause ] and i missed the first 14 of these. the competition took place in miami. you have to hand it to hooters. sometimes they have aa hard tim putting together a panel of judges, but hooters, they really did it right. >> all right, let's meet the judges who have an important job here. first, international cover girl, sports caster and television host, the beautiful leeann tweeden. she's the only female scout in the nba for the l.a. lakers. a sports caster and tv host. bonn bonnie-jill laflin. and you may know him as mini me in the "austin powers" movies, but he's got a great job here tonight. it's actor and hooters up thuz yas vern troyer. >> jimmy: hooters enthusiast first, maybe. can he reach a hooter? how can he be an enthusiast?

you think he'd be scared of being mistaken for a chicken wing. actor and hooters enthusiast. in celebrity relationship news, jesse james and kat von d have called off their engagement. you nope they were engaged. not a big deal. i'm sure they didn't do anything stupid like get their names tattooed on each other. kat von d lives in l.a. and jesse jameses lives in texas and they said the distance was just too much. i feel like this could have been all solved with an ipad commercial, but that's just me. for jesse james, it's good-bye kat von d and hello to kat von e. last night on bravo, the reunion of the real housewives of new york. it was so good to see them back together. there was a lot of fighting during the reunion, but it was hard to tell how angry they were because of all the botox they have in their heads. we took the audio from last night's reunion and combined it

with video from an old josie and the pussycats cartoon and i think it made it more entertaining to watch. >> i want to talk about some stuff that jill has accused ramona of. being disrespectful by wearing cream to a wedding. >> in my book, i thought it was not okok. you both looked beautiful and that's all -- >> it's a lot ruder to call someone a [ bleep ] bitch at the wedding than it is to wear cream. >> by the way, you are a bitch. >> say it to my face. >> i will right now. >> you seem to flash your -- >> no, she didn't. >> when kelly was at your toaster oven cook book shoot. >> i was really hurt by that, by the way. >> have you even looked at your own -- > i didn't show it. i put the legs together. >> you took it as a personal insult? >> it's just rude. >> was your vagina rude to kelly? [ applause ]

>> jimmy: they should have all the reality shows on a boat and that way if they get out of hand, just throw them over the side. a new study published says time travel is impossible. the study says that a single foe on the can't move faster than the speed of light which means it's scientifically impossible for humans to travel through time. i find this confusing because i once saw a documentary called "bill and tend's excellent adventure" that said the opposite. are you telling me you know more than keanu rooechreeves? i don't think so. what kind of study is that to do? any other dreams you need to crush? let's get to the bottom of this santa thing and stomp that out, too. sorry, everyone. time travel's impossible but you can still have your head dipped in nitrogen and wake up in 2350

attached to a roomba. the heat wave is still in effect in apartments of the central and southern u.s. item persons are flaring, flighting are breaking out. people are crowding pools and walking around in their underwear. it gets hot in the whole country, and it turns into one big episode of "jersey shore." i have a little trick for staying cool. i line my pants with otter pops and -- we thought it might be, i guess, i don't know. we thought it might be fun to provide relief from the heat tonight by using skype to connect us with two of our viewers who are living in very warm places. it's nice here, but it's not so nice elsewhere. we're going to do a special skype skav venger hunt, heat wave edition. let's meet our contestants, from tulsa, oklahoma, jason. hello, jason. how hot is it in tulsa right now, jason? >> it's probably, it's 9:30 at

night and 100 degrees. >> jimmy: is there any way that pharmaceuticals can help you beat the heat? >> being in the industry, i'm legally bound not to answer that question. >> jimmy: and from new york city, she says she sweats a lot on the swubway, brooke. so, brooke, it cooled off a little in new york today. you might have an advantage here, right? >> thank god. it was so hot i had a new nickname. you want to know it? >> jimmy: sure. >> sweaty betty. >> jimmy: you changed your name to betty? >> no, but people were like, you're so sweaty, you're sweaty betty now. >> jimmy: that's a lovely thing to carry throughout the rest of your life. all right, you guys ready to play? >> yeah. >> yeah. >> jimmy: i'm going to name an item. your job is to be the first person to find that item in your house and bring it back. you have to be first.

all right, $100 goes to whoever comes back with something that makes you sweat. okay? go! all right. and you get bonus points for the sun. what is that you have there? >> a scarf. >> jimmy: okay. and what is that you have there? >> it's a scarf. >> jimmy: okay, we have to go to the first scar. that goes to you. all right. you have to be a little faster, jason. [ applause ] all right, let's have another one. $200 for something you stole. all right? brooke went very quickly. someone's heart doesn't count unless you have the actual heart. wow. what is -- what is that? whose hat is that?

>> this is a florida gator hat from a really cute boy i met. >> jimmy: you took it off his head? >> i did. it was so hot i had to wear a hat. >> jimmy: and what do you have, jason? >> this is actually -- i love all things japan and my duddy in college had this. it's a japanese bank that eats coins. >> jimmy: you took that from him? >> it was my roommate, but yeah, i stole it. >> jimmy: he gave it to you? >> well, i stole it from him, so -- >> jimmy: i don't think either one of these things are stolen, but -- i think we're going to have to give it to brooke because she came back with it first, right? okay. all right. all right. all right. let's try one more. for $500, on your mark, get set, the first person to come back completely soaking wet. all right? all right. just turned into a whole different type of contest. they're running through their

homes. i would imagine maybe to their showers. oh, there's jason. oh, wow. all right, jason, stand up. i want to inspect you and i want to see how wet you are. is your shirt all wet? >> yes. >> jimmy: pants? >> kind of. >> jimmy: brooke, let me see u you. are you wet? it's hard to tell in the black. >> yeah, i'm -- i can ring myself out. >> jimmy: okay, ring yourself out and let's see. okay, you are wet. you know what, they are both wet and both came back at the same time. all right, let's give it to both of them, right, okay? [ applause ] hey, can you see each other right now? >> yes. >> jimmy: give each other a kiss on the skype. no, no, point your heads at each other -- no, the other way. brooke -- all right.

all right. thanks, guys. you will not be weathermen. i can promise you that. thanks to brooke and jason. and one more thing. [ applause ] the number one movie in the country right now is "captain america." it was the number one movie and ameri toppled the final harry potter movie. it made twice the amount the real america made over the weekend. but while it is very profitable in the united states, it didn't so well overseas. less than 3 million in foreign markets. most countries probably don't want to see our captain kicking their ass. in mexico, they shot a whole different version of the movie with an entirely different cast. have you heard about this, guillermo? >> yeah. >> jimmy: you have. well, here it is. the trailer that's been running in latin america. >> sorry, son.

>> i can offer you a chance. >> he will the first in a new breed of super soldiers. and they will personally escort adolf hitler to the gates of hell. >> i am captain mexico. >> how do you feel? >> how do i feel? like killing hitler. >> i took the liberty of coming up with some options. >> no, too old fashioned. >> this one's fun. >> no, too dirty. what is this? a pizza. >> fitted with electrical relay. >> no! what is this? >> that's a prototype. >> no, it's a pork pine.

oh. so, what do you think? >> i think it works. >> i are [ bleep ] crazy? >> not even close to this technology. >> i asked for an army and all i got was you. >> ay yi yi. >> fire! >> oh! >> ahh! >> that is what i call a hat trick.

movies. >> jimmy: is it great to watch yourself beating people up in the movie? >> i don't get a big kick out of it. >> jimmy: you don't? >> no, i don't. >> jimmy: really? why not? what's wrong with you? [ laughter ] >> secretly go home and watch tapes of myself beating people up. >> jimmy: yeah, sure. you live primarily in london? >> and new york. >> jimmy: and new york. place in london, place in new york. a lot of british actors move here and t ty leave london because, of what, tax reasons or something? >> that doesn't really apply anymore because i think the tax rate is about the same now. the state's tax and federal tax evens itself out. >> jimmy: we went up? >> w wmet you in the middle. >> jimmy: we may have to all move to bulgaria or something like that. >> that's the next stop. >> jimmy: you make your home primarily in new york. >> new york, yeah. >> jimmy: well, welcome.

photograph. >> jimmy: are you a soccer fan? football? >> football, yeah. >> jimmy: what's your team? >> liverpool. >> jimmy: liverpool? okay, yeah. [ applause ] >> nice. >> jimmy: i have another photograph, if i could ask you about. this is the singer taylor swift and another very lovely woman. and there's you. what are you doing? >> looking like i should be arrested. >> jimmy: you're photo bombing. >> is that the term? >> jimmy: that's the legal term. >> i'm wearing very fancy mustache. one of my better looks. >> jimmy: that is a good look for you. when did you first come to hollywo hollywood? >> i iid a movie back in 1990 called "the power of one" with stephen dorf and morgan freeman. they have a thing -- >> jimmy: can i start over? usually people clap -- not yet.

wait until he mentions it again. so, when did you firstst come t l.a.? >> i did this little movie for warner brothers back in 1990 which was -- [ applause ] i don't know if i can continue that story. >> jimmy: did you like it here? >> i didn't have a credit card, i didn't have a driver's license. no money. customs nearly turned me away.. they said, how are you going to support yourself? i don't know. i mean -- so, i was grilled at customs for an hour. >> jimmy: was the second time better that you visited? >> yeah, i think i was on a -- i was supposed to be on a studio's dime then. they didn't -- i had to get a cab from the airport. back then, there were no cabs in l.a. so, it was -- it was great. i had a grgrt time. i don't want why i'm complaining.

>> jimmy: i saw the movie "cowboys and alalns." a lot of fun. very exciting and all the things that you want to see in a summer movie. for you, was it a pain in the ass to shoot? i was watching, you guys are out in the desert, you're on horses. >> well, iot saddle. it was -- >> jimmy: you probably did, right? were you on -- you were on the horse a lot. >> i'd ridden a little bit in movies but hadn't had the chance to really properly ride or get confident on a horse. so, this was -- the truth of it is, we talked about this last time i was here about bond and the whole thing, whether or not as a child i wanted to be james bond and i never did. i always wanted to be in a cowboyoymovie. so, this was -- when this came along i was just -- i -- first thing i asked is, why me? why do you want me? but after meeting jon favreau, the director, he said, look, this is the wayay we want to do it. i said, okay, i'm in.

i got the chance to ride horses every day. >> jimmy: you had one specific horse? >> i had two horses at once, a horse that did something specifically. but i had one horse called w eeo and another called cool. harrison rode a horse called cooper and he bought two horses, one, mine, and his horse. >> jimmy: he bought your horse? >> yeah, and he said the other day it died and he ate it. >> jimmy: that's nice. i don't know -- if your horse is named ringo, i don't know if you're getting the best one. you know? might be getting, like, the third or fofoth. and was that fun for you, doing that deal? >> i had -- probably had more money on a movie than i've had for many years. >> jimmy: you were kind of the party guy. you threw the parties for the crew. >> yeah, i mean, i kind of had a few margarita m ming sessions.

>> jimmy: i see. >> i mean -- we were in mexico, the t tuila was good. sometimes we could go to bars but with harrison ford and sam rockwell, you have to kind of -- you can only go out for so long. so i would bring people back to the house and we would have -- i got some -- we had one night where i mixed margaritas. >> jimmy: does harrison ford -- he does participate in the party? >> he's really dull. he's a real shrinking violet. sits in the corner on his own. >> jimmy: well, we have a clip here from the movie and would you care to set it up a little bit? >> ah, yes, if i can remember. oh, yes. it's -- i'm -- i wake up in the middle of the desert, i have no memory of where i am and my past starts catching up with me. and this is a scene where my past comes and bites me in the ass. >> jimmy: "cowboys and aliens" opens friday. >> follow me over to the office.
