[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: that's close. it's jimmy. her new best friend is me. >> oh. >> alan: i met oprah yesterday. we shot something -- we shot something special or our special. i never met her before. but yesterday, we spent the whole day together. and i'm almost embarrassed to admit. about 20 minutes in, i decided i would give my life for oprah. if oprah needed my lungs, she could have both of them. she's like a magic person. she really is. she came in here. she talked to everyone. she couldn't have been nicer. and you will not believe what she did in the sketch we wrote for her. she was funny. she was enthusiastic. she said my name the oprah way. jimmy kimmel. when i walked in. crazy. for a minute, i thought maybe

this isn't the real oprah. maybe oprah has helpers, like santa. and the real oprah lives up at the north pole or something. but it was her. the fingerprints matched up. we ran it today. you really missed out, guillermo. where were you yesterday? >> at home. >> jimmy: at home? that's so sad. did you see what she tweeted me about? >> no. >> jimmy: well, here it is. this is from oprah's twitter. first time meeting jimmy kimmel. he is adorable. thank you. see? i told you i was adorable. >> you are. >> jimmy: why do you always say i'm not adorable? >> no. i say you are. >> jimmy: okay. she tweeted a picture of us, too. look at that. isn't that something? can i tell you something? her elbow turned my ear into gold. [ laughter ] i don't know what happened. but i love her. i do. my hope is that she'll adopt me as one of her dogs. i can live there. join me and oprah on sunday night. and set your dvr right now to "jimmy kimmel live: after the academy awards."

the 84th annual academy awards this sunday, february 26th, at 7:00 eastern, 4:00 pacific on abc. we'll be on after the late local news. last year, we hired a possum. we hired heidi, the cross-eyed possum to make oscar predictions for us. she did well. she went 2 for 3. she picked best actor and actress correctly. unfortunately, in september, heidi the possum died, which means she won't be making picks this year. she'll be making her picks from possum heaven this year. possum heaven is just a tree. without the benefit of the cross-eyed possum, this year, we've set our sights on another very talented animal, uggie, who played the part of jack in best picture nominee "the artist." you know the dog from "the artist"? if you haven't seen it, here he is, the winner of the golden paw award.

there's uggie. [ cheers and applause ] that's uggie. [ cheers and applause ] about 16 pounds. he's just slightly heavier than your average hollywood actress. uggie's going to make oscar predictions for us all week. tonight, he's going to select the winner for best actor. we have pictures of each of the best actor nominees. brad pitt from "money ball." jean desjardins. "the artist." george clooney for "descendents." gary oldman, from "tinker tailor soldier spy." and that guy. i don't know who he is. we put a hot dog on top of each one of their pictures. and whichever he eats, is who is going to win the oscar. are we ready to let uggie choose? all right, let's do it. okay. his trainer is giving him the sign. and uggie selects george clooney. he goes and gets his own costar.

wow. [ cheers and applause ] it's official. george has an idea. thank you, uggie. very well done. you can go lick yourself now. okay? oh, look at that. oh, he's ashamed of himself for not picking sean. oh, there he goes again! all right, there you go. that's uggie. he'll be with us all week. there's a new episode of "the bachelor" here on abc last night. with the amount of premarital sex they've been having this season, they should probably rename the show "the bachelor party." because there has been a lot. bachelor ben went to meet the families of each of his four remaining potential brides. hello, sir. i'm the guy who's been skinny dipping with your daughter on television. by the way, ben was here on our show after the second episode in early january. and i made a prediction about who his final four would be. and watch this. i would like to predict my final four. >> okay.

>> your final four. i guess you should have them. >> okay. >> jimmy: i predict casey b. will be in your final four. she seems nice. i predict lindsay c. will be in your final four. >> okay. >> she is the one who came in on the horse. i predict nicki will be in your final four. and i predict the evil courtney will be in your final four, as well. all right. and who are his final four? when the four were announced. it was casey b. lindsay c. nicki. and the evil courtney. i went 4 for 4. [ cheers and applause ] beat that, uggie. that must have blown his mind because he's not allowed to say anything. but the show had already been taped. and out of 18 women, i correctly picked all of the top four, which is pretty, as they say on "the bachelor," amazing. let's look at another camera angle here. and watch ben's face as i make

these picks. keeping in mind, he knows i got them all right. i predict casey b. will be in your final four. she seems nice. i predict lindsay c. will be in your final four. she's the one who came in on the horse. i predict nicki will be in your final four. and i predict the evil courtney will be in your final four. and who knows? maybe you even picked courtney. and then, who knows? maybe she tried to stab you in your sleep. >> who knows? >> jimmy: i think, not only am i right. i think she tried to stab him in his sleep. [ laughter ] i have to say, i'm impressed with myself. i could have won a lot of money on that. [ applause ] that's pretty -- that is im -- i'm not sure whether to celebrate or get a sex-change operation. [ laughter ] in new york, basketball phenom jeremy lin continues to whip fans of knicks into a lather. they're calling it lin-sanity.

i think that's what they called it when lindsay lohan stole that -- last night the knicks beat the defending champion dallas mavericks. and we caught up with enthusiastic fans on long island. >> hands up for the hands-down new favorite knicks player, jeremy lin. >> lin-sanity. jeremy's the man. >> jimmy: yes. he is a man. he's -- almost everyone in the nba is. [ laughter ] there's a few in the wnba, even. and this is pretty nutty. bob morris the a state lawmaker from ft. wayne, indiana. who's getting some attention this week because he's decided not to support a proposal that would celebrate a 100th anniversary of the girl scouts. he says he believes girl scouts are a, quote, radicalized organization that promotes homosexuality and abortion. i'm all for freedom of speech. but that kind of talk might get

you picked as rick santorum's running mate. [ laughter ] [ applause ] the girl scouts. we're talking about the girl scouts. the girl scouts promote homosexuality. girl scouts sell cookies. they don't promote homosexuality. they promote obesity. and i can't think of anything more american than that. but morris is against them. by the way, this is bob morris. feel free to draw your own conclusions at home. wait until he finds out the keebler elves are all gay. he won't be able to eat another cookie in his life. he plans to pull his own two daughters out of the girl scouts because he found out that girl scouts are a strategic faction of planned parenthood. and the people they call role models are, quote, feminists, lesbians and communists. they're a bunch of pecan sandies is what they are.

i don't agree with his opinion on this. but i do know where he got the information. this is an old girl scout commercial that originally aired in the '70s. see if you remember this. >> the girl scouts of america, where today's girls learn the importance of team work, and confidence-building. and above all, abortion, abortion, abortion. the girl scouts, making communist transgender lesbian friends that last a lifetime. and the cookies. >> jimmy: carry on lesbians. carry on. today, in case you don't know, is mardi gras, which translates into english as fat tuesday. mardi gras is a big deal in the south. especially in louisiana. especially in new orleans. this is from a local cbs news report from new orleans. where a gentleman they found, on bourbon street, summed the appeal of the festivities up i think pretty nicely. >> balconies are packed. beads are flying. and along bourbon street, the huge party continues. for revelers, it adds up to an experience like none other. >> the best part is just the

energy, the creativity. >> what's your favorite part about all of it? approximate girls. the girls. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: well, you know what? [ cheers and applause ] when he showed up, he was funny, too. mardi gras is an interesting phenomenon because it turns normal, everyday people into drunken lunatics who will trade their dignity for 9 cents worth of beads. once it's over, everybody goes home and goes back to being normal. that got me thinking, can you tell if a woman has ever flashed someone just by looking at her? we will turn this into a game tonight. we're going to see a woman on the street. we'll see her introduce herself. and we'll ask -- we'll guess here in the studio if she's ever flashed anybody. and we'll see her response. all right? you ready? okay. here's our first potential flasher. >> kimberly. i'm from los angeles. >> kimberly, have you ever flashed somebody? and if so, what happened? >> jimmy: okay. we have a split audience. let's find out. >> yes, i have.

i was in miami. [ cheers and applause ] on a trip. and the person was excited. >> jimmy: okay. all right. who's next? >> can you tell us your name and where you're from? >> christina. >> have you ever flashed anybody? can you tell us about it? >> jimmy: all right. not a single person said no to this one. >> i flashed millions of people. as a matter of fact, i was just about to show somebody my tits over there. and i'm going to do it. >> jimmy: for a mix tape. all right. who do we have next? >> ft. lauderdale, florida. and my name's holly. >> holly, have you ever flashed somebody? and what happened? >> jimmy: there's holly. about half and half here. holly? >> no, i have not. i'm boring, i guess. >> jimmy: yeah. that's -- no. holly didn't. come on, now. let's use our heads now. >> abbie, i'm from australia.

>> abbie, have you ever flashed somebody and what happened? >> jimmy: you can see by the way her eyes go to the side. let's find out. >> i've never flashed somebody, no. never. that's a lie. i did in mexico. [ laughter and applause ] >> jimmy: all the things that go on in mexico. who do we have next? >> candice. morgan hill, california. >> candice, have you ever flashed somebody? and what happened? >> jimmy: all right. quick to say yes. all right. let's see. >> no. i have not. i haven't. not even a little. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: everyone apologize to candice. that wasn't nice. who do we have next? >> my name is ted. >> ted, have you ever flashed somebody and what happened? [ laughter ]

>> jimmy: let's find out. >> no. but i was caught streaking, though. >> jimmy: and finally, i believe we have one more. >> my name is kim. i'm from smithers, british columbia, canada. >> kim, have you ever flashed somebody? and what happened? >> jimmy: a lot of yeses here. let's find out. >> yes, sadly, because -- [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: thank you. tonight on the show -- the very beautiful "sports illustrated" swimsuit issue cover model kate upton is here. we have music from jake owen. and we'll be right back with eric stonestreet from "modern family." so, stick around. [ cheers and applause ]

[ cheers and applause ] [ cheers and applause ] [ cheers and applause ] how's it going? >> hello. >> jimmy: how are you? >> how are you doing? >> jimmy: i'm doing very well. >> long time, no see. >> jimmy: it hasn't been that long. i was at your birthday party. >> you were at my birthday party. >> jimmy: your 40th birthday party. thanks for inviting me to your party. >> it was a fun party.

[ laughter ] >> yes. i like this clown. >> look. i'm seeing someone, kate. >> jimmy: well, there's obviously some chemistry there. i won't interfere. you two go ahead with whatever. congratulations, first of all, on being on the cover of the magazine. i've been a subscriber since i was a teen. i've never been on the cover. >> what are they thinking? that's ridiculous. it's the 50th anniversary. >> jimmy: is this something you wanted to be on? >> i'm from a big sports family. and "sports illustrated" was coming to our house. and i was interested in the swimsuit issue. >> jimmy: when the magazine shows up and your dad gets it, it has to ruin it a little bit for him, right?

>> probably. >> jimmy: "sports illustrated" swim -- oh, what the hell? >> he unsubscribes. like, those days are over. >> jimmy: i would think so. you started modeling at a very young age. how old were you? >> 15. >> jimmy: 15. how does that work, even? whose idea is this? >> i was scouted when i was 12 years old. i was a horseback rider. i was leaving a horse show. >> jimmy: and who scouted you at this time? and why didn't your father murder him? who is scouting 12-year-olds? >> they didn't know i was 12. >> jimmy: they didn't know? they thought you were what? 14? >> yes, she's skinny. >> jimmy: they got ahold of you. did you think it was a scam at first? most of those things are, right? >> yeah. it was trump model management. >> jimmy: oh, even worse. even worse.

>> jimmy: you went. and somebody filmed you dancing in the stands at a game at a clippers game, right? >> yes. >> jimmy: worst of all, of all things, you went to a clippers game. >> they won that game. just want to point out. >> jimmy: you may have turned the clippers around. >> i'm lucky. >> jimmy: and this became a huge hit online. >> yes. now, everyone's been dougieing. totally stole my idea. >> jimmy: have you met dougie? is it dougie fresh? doug e. fresh is the dougie they're talking about, right? >> i don't -- i don't know. >> jimmy: eric? >> huh? [ laughter ] >> do you know how to dougie? >> i don't know how to dougie. i'm open to learning how to dougie, though. >> jimmy: can you show eric? >> what is dougieing? >> jimmy: dougie is a dance that's a popular thing amongst the young people. >> it was a song. teach me how to dougie. maybe there's an original dougie. >> that's a foreign language. >> jimmy: there's an original
