[ cheers and applause ] [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: thank you. hello, cleto. that's very nice. i'm jimmy. welcome to the show. thank you for watching at home. appreciate it. and just so you know, everything on the show tonight is gluten-free. except guillermo, who is -- you're half what? half-gluten, half mexican. >> yeah. >> jimmy: in new hampshire, the republican primary election took place. new hampshire voters gathered to decide which middle-aged white guy looked best in a pair of pleated dockers. as expected, mitt romney won it with 38% of the vote. ron paul finished second, with 23%.

jon huntsman in third, with 13%. and rick perry, just got the finger, i think. [ laughter ] the new hampshire primary is a tough one for the candidates who don't do well because this is the night when many of them realize, i served all those people pancakes for nothing. [ laughter ] it seems like every month, we've had a new republican front-runner, which is interesting because i don't go back and forth, as far as who i support. i make my choice for president, based on how well each candidate would handle an alien invasion. [ laughter ] figure out if a candidate would be a president like the one in "independence day" who gives an awesome speech, and saddles up. or one like "superman 2," who kneels before zod and screams for superman. i feel like romney would be a kneeler and a screamer. but he is at the top of the pack.

i came up with a great campaign slogan for mitt romney today. it's time to mitt or get off the pot. it works, right? [ cheers and applause ] he can use that, by the way. the results for this primary actually started coming in late last night, even though they were held today. a few small towns in new hampshire opened their polls at midnight so people could vote early. one of the towns has an unusual name. so unusual, it helped us to supply us with our unintentional joke of the day. >> tradition brings out voters at the stroke of midnight in two, small new hampshire. including, tiny dicksville notch. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: tiny dicksville notch. village for people with a small self-esteem. newt gingrich thinks he's the man for the job. he got an important endorsement from sarah palin's husband, todd. he has the all-important

snowmobilers who wear sunglasses indoors demographic. todd palin said he's supporting newt gingrich because he believes newt is the candidate who looks most like a snowman. [ laughter ] you should be able to turn an endorsement down, right? so far, the two celebrities that have endorsed newt gingrich are todd palin and gary busey. and gary busey took the endorsement back a couple of days later. todd palin has endorsed newt gingrich. he put stickers all over his igloo. they do? send us a letter if you live in an igloo. [ laughter ] the mailbox be regular? or made of ice, too? why am i asking you? >> cleto: i have no idea. >> jimmy: guillermo, people live in igloos. do they have a regular mailbox? or will it, too, be made of ice?

>> regular. >> jimmy: regular. appreciate it. regular. rick santorum didn't have a strong showing tonight. but he has come up with a creative way to raise campaign money. between now and january 11th, and this is real. this is not something we made up. everybody that donated $100 or more to the santorum campaign, will receive an official rick santorum for president sweater vest. that's true. that's a member of the santorum for president campaign staff, the one nobody in the office likes. the website says the sweater vest is, quote, perfect for demonstrating solidarity with true conservatives. and, quote, a great way to show support for rick. and also, a great way to encourage bullies to beat you up. to me, this seems like a silly idea. but apparently, they're in such high demand, it takes four to six weeks to get one. and rick santorum isn't the only one selling style to voters. now, ron paul is getting into the act, too. >> ron paul wants to change

washington. and you can help. for a limited time only, donate $20 or more and receive your very own pair of ron paul crazy eyebrows. show your support by wearing them to work. the gym. slip them on your baby. or use them as eye pillows while you sleep. donate today and get an oversized blazer, free. >> available at walgreens. >> jimmy: i really do. [ cheers and applause ] you can also use them as slippers. this is pretty funny. last night on the show, we made a promo that featured a variety of dogs humping each other. part of our emmy campaign. anyway, one of the producers here at the show, was on youtube, looking for videos of dogs doing this. and he noticed something interesting. watch for the pop-up ad here at the bottom of the screen. ♪

[ laughter ] >> jimmy: romney. let's fight for the america we love. while a jack russell terrier makes love to a pit bull. ronald reagan never ran his ads during dog-humping videos. this is another one from new zealand. it's from the lion exhibit at the zoo there. watch this 3-year-old girl. she's unflappable. >> come away. >> i think he's wanting you to move away from him. >> see the eyes. >> oh. >> jimmy: i think -- is it possible she thinks she's watching television? [ laughter ]

she has seen "the lion king" so many times, she's desensitized. you may have heard, beyonce, and her husband, jay-z, welcomed their little child over the weekend. a little girl. blue ivory carter. and to celebrate, jay-z posted a new song to his website. it's a song called "glory," featuring b.i.c., b-i-c. you can hear the baby on the track. they recorded the audio in the delivery room. and they put it into the song. not only can you hear the baby. if you listen closely, you can hear beyonce, too. ♪ the most amazing feeling i feel ♪ ♪ words can't describe >> put down that -- and help me. you did this to me. you bastard. >> jimmy: she should have got the epidural. i told her. [ laughter ] charlie sheen, you remember

charlie sheen? charlie sheen is back in the news, finally. on sunday night, charlie sheen told a group of tv reporters that he isn't crazy anymore. so, that's good news. [ laughter ] if you have to tell reporters you're not crazy, you're crazy, right? i mean, that's -- charlie claims he settled down. he's focusing on his work. he's focusing on his children. and that his previous behavior was, quote, an episode. there was an episode. it was an episode of intervention is what it was. i'm glad to hear he's all better now. i'm sure there will be no problems going forward. this is pretty funny. this is from the fox affiliate in san francisco. one of the reporters was live on the air. and keep an eye on what's going on in the background. it's tonight's edition of "behind the news." >> joining us live from san jose, with details on the decision and what's next. >> jimmy: i don't know what

could possibly be next. but what just happened was pretty awesome. the pope had some strong words for advocates of same-sex marriage yesterday. during his state of the world address, he reiterated his believe that marriage should be between men and women. and that policies that support same-sex marriage, quote, threaten the future of humanity itself. which, the pope should be careful about what he says. with that kind of talk, clay aiken may never put out another christmas album. and then, we all pay. whether you agree with the pope or not, you're probably wondering how gay marriage could lead to the end of humanity. and it's actually pretty simple. i'll explain, if you like. first off, two gay people get married. and then, they buy a house. and they decide to paint the house. let's say fuchsia. okay? now, their neighbor is furious about the new color of the

house. full of rage, he backs out of his driveway without looking and runs over a bicyclist. and that bicyclist happened to be the world's foremost researcher in the fight against infectious disease. he was going to work real quick after hearing about a superbug that's 100% fatal and very infectious. now, he's dead. and without him, his research team fails to isolate the virus. as a result, everyone in the world gets infected. and we all die. [ laughter ] i don't know. that's why we have to stop this gay marriage, so we can stay alive. [ laughter ] you know, the pope's worried about the end of humanity, someone should send him an episode of "jersey shore." i'm pretty sure it ended already. on a similar subject, according to the magazine "the advocate,"

the gayest city in america is -- yes. drumroll, please. the gayest city in america, is salt lake city, utah. for real. do we have anyone here from salt lake tonight? no? you know, when you have a few guys hogging all the wives, this is what happens. [ laughter ] i don't know. i wonder how they measure this? do they walk into the local abercrombie & fitch and see how full it is. l.a. didn't make the top-15 gayest city in america. the guys on santa monica boulevard in the uggs and the cutoff yoga pants must be devastated. salt lake city seems like an odd choice for a number of reasons. they're embracing the new destination. and they've enlisted one of their beloved sports hear rows to promote this. >> i'm karl malone. nba player of the utah jazz. are you gay?

karl malone know you are. it's time to come to salt lake city. salt lake city has so much gay stuff, karl malone don't know what to do. you like skiing around in a gay sweater/scarf, salt lake city is the way to go. you like movies? we have movies. and "we bought us a zoo." if you like music, you can hear the mormon choir. that's gay music. and salt lake city is fun for gay kids, too. look at them gay kids run. you like art? gay people do. we got art. we got shopping. y'all do like shopping. we have a method for any weather. and you can play golf. that's not just gay. that's good for the lesbians, too. or kick back on shores of our big gay salt lake. with world-class eating. and get in that little car and

come to salt lake city. karl malone say, it's the gay place to stay. >> jimmy: well, you know, if he said it. we've got a good show for you tonight. dermot mulroney is here. we have music from will hoge. and we'll be right back with randy jackson. so, stick around. ♪ [ cheers and applause ] why do we have aflac... aflac... and major medical? major medical, boyyyy!

how is everything going? >> it's really good. it's funny, steven tyler and i have a conversation about what we wear. and our kids look at us and go, really? yes. come on. >> jimmy: no. the kids are really making sense. you're saying that, when you speak to steven tyler, you can understand what he's saying? >> yes. dude, this is my brother right here. we're, like -- we hit it, man. >> jimmy: are you very close? are you guys close? >> we're really close. i had known him for a long time before the show. >> jimmy: right. >> so amazing he's on the show. and jennifer, as well. >> jimmy: they did turn out to be really great replacements, after all was said and done. things went well with them in there, didn't it? >> it was amazing. if you're a kid and you're coming in, and the legend, steven tyler, is judging you. and jennifer has their own triple-threat going on, with her acting, singing, dancing. you have me.

[ cheers and applause ] that looks pretty scary. one of those guys was you, right? >> i was the guy that was passing the other guys. >> jimmy: i see. you were the best one in it. >> i was the one with more clothing than anyone. >> jimmy: i got you. >> yeah. >> jimmy: this is one of the boy meets wolf, wolf eats boy type of stories. >> precisely. it's really a ripping movie. that's why i'm here. i'm so excited about it. >> jimmy: where did you shoot it? it looked like vegas. >> well, we shot it -- [ laughter ] we shot it in vegas. >> jimmy: you did? >> we were in smithers, british columbi columbia. about a 14-hour drive north of british columbia. >> jimmy: where do you live when you're up there? are there hotels there? >> this town is really funny. it's small. spread out. they have a lot of elbow room up there. there aren't that many, well, people. but there is a lot of cold. and a lot of -- there's a motel.

we all packed into there. and get in a van in the morning, and drive 45 minutes up the mountain to what they call a parking lot. and then, from there, it was another 40 minutes on a snowcat. really, there's an extended cab on these sort of -- it's a passenger snow tractor. >> jimmy: okay. >> and it takes about 10 or 12 people up at a time. and about 12 people at a time, they get the whole cast and crew and every piece of equipment up to this remarkable plane wreck set about 5,000 feet. at about the 40th parallel. >> jimmy: that sounds like it would be fun for about four minutes. [ laughter ] >> i'll tell you, i've done a bunch of movies. and this was one the funnest. >> jimmy: was it really? you weren't freezing up there? i would be crying. >> we're working for joe carnahan. he's like a brawler type of director. demanding reality and authentic conditions. >> jimmy: he knew it was cold. >> we knew what we were getting into. and he said, don't even unless

you're doing it for real. we were casting lots as who would weep first. and nobody did. >> jimmy: nobody did? >> we had two english guys in the cast. and they did okay. >> jimmy: are you kidding me? >> amazed. >> jimmy: well, that's great. [ applause ] and are those real wolves we see running there? >> those are real wolves. some of that footage actually is. again, the director had a great concept of how to combine everything you can think of. cgi, animatronics. there's a guy behind me. and sound design and lighting effects. everything you can think of. incredible score, that makes this an incredibly chilling movie, in more ways than one. >> jimmy: yeah. and i heard you guys actually ate wolf.

>> at least i know now i'm thinking clearly, who to blame. this would be joe carnahan, who insisted we experience that. there's a scene in the movie, at our last devices, we succumb to eating wolf, to survive. that we killed that was trying to kill us. he thought it might be a good idea for us to actually do that. >> jimmy: and do people eat wolves in general? >> no. >> jimmy: no one does. >> and i can tell you why. >> jimmy: is it legal to eat a wolf? >> it is -- [ laughter ] i can't be certain. i'll say yes. >> jimmy: it must be like eating dog or something, right? maybe even worse. >> perhaps worse. i've never had dog. >> jimmy: yeah. >> what i can tell you about wolf, is they actually prepared it two ways. there was a stewed wolf. >> jimmy: mcnuggets? >> more like barbecued on the bone, man. >> jimmy: wow. >> yeah. >> jimmy: and bad? >> i think the word, pebbly

comes to mind. >> jimmy: never heard a food item described as pebbly. really? >> that's what we decided it was. >> jimmy: did they have side items with the wolf? >> stewed wolf or gnawed off the bone wolf. i want to impress upon you the fact that this was a previously deceased wolf. we were sure -- >> jimmy: road kill wolf? [ laughter ] no wonder it tasted so bad. >> i think i saw a tire track on the lower shank on the lower -- >> jimmy: wow. yeah. >> the rump roast. >> jimmy: that sounds like a terrible, terrible time. >> and yet, it one. that's what's so phenomenal. >> jimmy: i'll tell you, in terms of contrast, you are a man, who we learned last time you were on the show, played the cello. >> yeah. i didn't bring my cello. >> jimmy: you didn't bring it up there. >> but i've had incredible opportunities so far. >> jimmy: which soundtracks have you been on? >> the end of last year, i

played on "ghost protocol." the "mission impossible 4." >> jimmy: we have a photograph of you playing. was this for "mission impossible"? >> that would be. yeah. >> jimmy: okay. the other cello players must be delighted that you show up. [ laughter ] >> i'll tell you what. nine of them are. the tenth one -- >> jimmy: not happy? >> not happy because he's at home. >> jimmy: and please, explain what's happening here. it almost looks like tom cruise is conducting the orchestra. >> that's not photoshopped. i'm sitting in the orchestra. and grateful to the composer. great composer and friend. but on the far side of the studio, somebody walks in. he's holding a little girl's hand. and has a bunny in his hand. i thought, that's peculiar. that man looks surprisingly like tom cruise. he leaves his daughter over there. and goes up and speaks to the

conductor, tim simanak. if he picks up the baton and starts conducting this -- like he was born to do it. >> jimmy: from driving his motorcycle off the world's tallest building? >> or climbing. the guy can -- >> jimmy: did you know, he was doing it right? >> he was doing it correctly. if anybody knows anything about music, you try and conduct 5/4, it doesn't happen. >> jimmy: i see. the time. >> it has another little hitch in it. and he got it. >> jimmy: he got it. >> he nailed it. he can do anything. he's tom cruise. >> jimmy: has he ever eaten a wolf? >> he has not eaten a wolf. >> jimmy: all right. >> i have. >> jimmy: it's great to see you. congratulations on the movie. the movie is called "the grey." it opens on january 27th. dermot mulroney. we'll be right back with will hoge.
