tonight -- jewel la julia louis-dreyfus. national school scrabble champs. and music from the hives. with cleto and the cletones. and now, and further more, here's jimmy kimmel! ♪ it's "jimmy kimmel live" [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: hola. hi there. well, thank you, thank you. i appreciate that. thank you for joining us. thank you for watching. it's a pleasure to have you here. am i the only one wearing a suit? how embarrassing. hope you had a good earth day. earth day was yesterday. i forgot it, too. it's so hard to shop for the earth. i wound up getting it a neck pillow. turns out it has no neck.

so what are you going to do? it's the 42nd annual earth day, earth day started back in 1970. they estimate a billion people participated in earth day activities yesterday. and then today, we all went right back to driving our suvs to the gym. you know, they say we better start taking care of the plan element now or it might not be here for our children. on the other hand, if it isn't here for our children, they'll all get to be astronauts, which would be awesome, right? for the record i'm against global warming, so i'm also against doing anything about it. so, you see where my dilemma lies. in convention with earth day, the dutch electronics company philipps released what they're calling a revolutionary new lightbulb, designed to last 20 years. the technology is amazing. it has some sort of a thing in it that makes it last longer than other lightbulbs. i'm not a scientist. i don't know the specifics. do you think the guy who thought

of it, he had a lightbulb go on over his head? was it the old kind or a brand new one? [ applause ] thank you. one problem is, it's expensive. costs around $50, which that should give dads all over the world even more reason to yell at their kids for leaving the lights on. a $50 lightbulb. that reminds me of a joke. how many people does it take to screw in a $50 lightbulb? >> jimmy, i know the answer. >> jimmy: all right. what is it? >> it takes no people. for $50, the lightbulb is screwing you! [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: to be honest, i was on the fence about doing that one myself. outsourced. do you have any secret service jokes for us? >> no. >> jimmy: no? >> nothing.

[ laughter ] >> jimmy: how many of them does it take to screw a lightbulb? and would they pay the full $50? i don't know. details about the colombian prostitutes are continuing to emerge. in case you haven't been following the story, a number of secret service agents, these are the guys who protect the president, are being investigated for misconduct, or as they call it in colombia, conduct. initially, 11 secret service agents were subject to this investigation. now a 12 agent has been identified. one more and they have a hooker's dozen, you know. agent number 12 may have entertained a lady of the night at the hilton hotel where the president was going to be staying. i think this is the first time hilton and sex scandal have been used in a sentence without the word paris in it in a really long time. right? so far, six agents have lost their jobs. one has been cleared. five are still on administrative leave. it all came up when a prostitute fwhot an argument with two

agents she spent the night with over how much she should be paid. she said she wanted $800 and the hotel reception called her at 6:30 in the morning to remind her she needed to leave by 7:00. you know you're staying at a great hotel when they kick the hookers out by 7:00. she refused to leave until she got the money and there was a commotion and the police showed up. see, that's where she made a mistake. if you have a problem with the secret service, you have to call secret customer service. you don't call the police. and if you don't get the answer you want from them, you can take it all the way up to secret santa, if you have to. but america loves hookers and we've been all over this one. this is from cbs this morning where senior white house correspondent bill plant unwittingly provided us with our "unintentional joke of the day." >> this morning there's word of another agent who has taken a

prostitute to a sensitive location. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: where are they going? [ cheers and applause ] the nba playoffs are almost here. lakers got a big win over the oklahoma city thunder last night. as you probably know, they have a player named metta world peace. his name used to be ron artest, but he changed it to spread his message of peace around the planet. unfortunately world peace came to an end yesterday when metta was ejected from the game after delivering an elbow to the head of thunder guard james harden right after a dunk. he pounds his chest and for some reason -- clears him out. world peace with the elbow to the head. [ laughter ] maybe world peace was too lofty a goal. maybe he should have changed his name to something like metta recycle your aluminum cans or

something. i'm not sure why that happened. i'm not sure why james harden has his hair cut like mr. t. you know, on the a-team, they used to knock mr. t out every time they had to get him on a plane. maybe that's what was going on. doctors diagnosed harden with a concussion and fortunately, he was well enough to get this post-game interview. >> i think we just did a great job overall. >> you are going to retaliation the next time you play meltmett world peace? >> yeah, yeah, definitely. >> jimmy: on the bright side, he's now the new mr. pay nut. this is from the local nbc news in myrtle beach. oh, you're from -- or you just like local news? you guys will enjoy this then. they had a story about, i guess there's a lot of crime in the area that's driven some of the residents to los angeles. and, well, watch what happens. >> we are learning more about how county solicitors are cracking down on crime, from shop lifters to gang-related

murders, prosecutors say you are going to see a strong etch fort to get criminals off the street and keep you save. ashley taylor joining us live tonight, she's breaking it all down. ashley? >> michael, businesses here tell me they are some of the hardest hit -- >> yeah! [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: that is something. that tupac hologram is everywhere. we see clips like this pretty regularly but rarely do they have a follow-up clip, but in this case, the police were able to track the guy down and arrest him. >> one man is facing charges after interrupted our live news cast, just 24 hours ago. >> yeah, if you watched it happen, you probably were wondering what happened to ashley taylor. tonight, she's joining us live and telling us what it's like to become a subject of your very

own story, ashley. >> well, this scene may look very familiar to you. about 24 hours ago, this is where i was standing, about to bring you my live report when a man nearby shocked eed me and d me out of the way. >> jimmy: well, world peace is spreading, i guess. hey, we have something fun planned for tonight. every year, we invite the winners of the national school scrabble championship onto the show so that i can meet and defeat them. it's all part of my don't let kids get a big head program. tonight's competition is extra special because it's a rematch. the kids i'm going to play tonight won the scrabble title back in 2009 when they were in the fifth grade. now they are in eighth grade and they won it again. they are the first team ever to win it twice. they are here with us now. please say hello to andy hoang and erik salgado. hi, guys.

well, well, well, we meet again. do you remember the last time we met? >> unfortunately. >> yes. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: just to refresh everyone's memory, here's how it ended back in 2009 when my scrabble partner by the way was lil' kim. we have a word right here. that's an o and that's an m. go ahead and add those up. we get 18 -- >> 23, 25 -- >> jimmy: well, that's pretty much it, isn't it? the new school scrabble champions. and they walked away. oh, that's right. i won. i think i won by a lot. do you remember the final score? >> no. >> no. >> jimmy: i believe it was 157-81. do you think you can beat me this time around? >> definitely. >> jimmy: oh.

what was the word you guys won, what was the final word? >> we went with the word -- >> jimmy: that's a baby word. i know that word. sit tight and in just a few minutes we'll have a rematch. this will be exciting. all right? close the curtains on them. i don't want to see them again! when it comes to scrabble, i show no mercy. you have no idea what goes on in this crazy head. here's something i could call a cautionary tale. this took place in a restaurant in las vegas called the heart attack grill. the idea behind it is, they serve unhealthy food. they have a quadruple bypass burger. the staff dresses like nurses and doctors. the customers even -- even the customers wear hospital gowns to the restaurant. now, this weekend, for the second time this year, there was what appeared to be a heart attack at the heart attack grill. that woman was eating a double

bypass burger -- [ applause ] drinking a margarita and smoking. you ever seen people clap for a heart attack before? fortunately, there was a cpr friday's next door and -- my favorite thing, you are surrounded by people dressed like doctors and nurses, but none of them has any medical experience. i like to see the look on the face of the paramedics who show up. in summary, if you have a heart attack there, don't be mad if people laugh about it. interesting new movie opened this eck woo end. it's called "chimpanzee." it follows a baby chimp named oscar around west africa. made $10.7 million. that's the biggest opening for a nature documentary ever. and i can see why it did so well. i watched the trailer for it online today. it really is one of the cutest things i've ever seen.

he had this idea that i should come on here and ask you if you would please get matt damon to come to his school and, then he'd get his friend zach to get into a fight with matt damon. does that make sense anybody? no, right? terrible idea. you thought it was a good idea? >> jimmy: except for the part that nobody wants to see matt damon and nobody's interested in matt damon. [ laughter ] you know. >> but you said to me, on the commercial break. you said, actually, sort of funny, if you ever wanted me to do anything, and i said, really? okay, cut to end of senior year and the parents at our school are supposed to put on for the kids, a night they don't know anything about. they go to the movies, they go bowling and it's all a surprise. so i called my friend jimmy kimmel and you very kindly agreed to be a part of this prank that none of the kids knew about. so we have the l.a. groundlings

come to an auditorium in the library to put on a show for the kids. and that was great. they were fantastic. they were hilarious. >> jimmy: yeah, they were. >> and at one point, one of the grou groundlings putting on a bare costume. then he says, the next sketch is with a bear, but my friend has to go offstage and get the head on. and then when we comes back, we're going to pull people up and he's going to interview them. so we set up a desk kind of like this with a little thing that said mr. bear on it. and he goes offstage and comes out with his bear head, but who is inside the bear costume. >> jimmy: i was inside the bear costume. [ applause ] >> and we rigged it so that the first name he would pull out of the thing was my son's name, who came onstage, thinking it's a groundling. he sits down, you said something like, have you ever wrestled a bear? >> jimmy: yeah, yeah, right. >> and you attacked him. >> jimmy: i attacked him.

that's what bears do. >> this is all true. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: that is true. >> and so you guys were wrestling around in the middle of -- and by the way, it was pretty intense. i didn't appreciate that part of it. >> jimmy: i was completely blind. i couldn't see what was going on. i was in, as you know, a bear costume. >> and then what happened was, you pulled your head off and there you are. and my son henry looks at you and he went -- and everyone screamed because of course you're a god. >> jimmy: oh, yeah. >> and then you very kindly stayed and kept calling up kids and interviewing all of these kids. it was the most spectacular thing. it was the best night of their life. >> jimmy: i was most impressed that you did this for your son because i'm trying to think of anything even close to that that my parents did for me and, really, like, all i can think of is once my mother was on time to

pick me up from junior high school. that's -- i think that's the closest we got. [ cheers and applause ] >> and look, seriously, this is such a good night. i just started tweeting. this is the second thing i ever tweeted. >> jimmy: on your twitter account. >> official jlv. >> jimmy: that was the bear. fearsome. >> i think it looks like we just got married or something. >> jimmy: at the baseball park. >> that was a great night. >> jimmy: that actually was fun and the kids were very nice. what are they doing now? are they in prison? >> yes. both of my children are in prison. >> jimmy: your son went off to college? >> went off to college, and we're devastated, but whatever. >> jimmy: hey, by the way. i watched the first two episodes of your show, "veep" and it is hilarious. >> really? oh, thank you. [ cheers and applause ] . >> jimmy: you are great in it, which i think was to be expected. your supporting cast is fantastic too. >> is that a great supporting cast? >> jimmy: it is. >> crazy funny group.

>> jimmy: and kind of believable in a way. i don't know what goes on with the vice president, but just the fact that you got an assistant there telling you everything about every person who's about to come up. >> that's right. that's tony hill, who, you'll knoll from "arrested development and now from "veep." >> jimmy: he's great. >> absolutely fantastic. thank you so much, yeah. >> jimmy: i heard you spoke to some real vice presidents about the show. >> yeah, i did. i spoke to some vice presidents. because, you know, i wanted to know, i wanted to talk to them not so much about policy and so on, but really just about, what it's it really like, you know? seriously, what really is it like? and just to get some nitty-gritty stuff to get a feel for it. and i don't really want to say who they were or anything, though al gore sort of outed me, said that we had spoken. but we got to do so many things when we were there in baltimore and washington shooting the

show. in fact, we got to take a fun tour of the senate. >> jimmy: oh. >> and, you know, one of the two constitutional duties that a vice president has is to preside over the senate. so, there is, in fact, an office for the vice president in the senate. we got to go into the office. get a load of this. the desk for the vice president in the senate building is the desk that belonged to nixon in the oval office during watergate. so, if you get on your hands and knees, go unbeneath the desk and you look up like that, you can see the holes where the tape recorders were screwed in. >> jimmy: for real? >> i'm not kidding about that. >> jimmy: really? >> it's incredible. i think it's astounding they use it, still. >> jimmy: yeah, and that the vice president gets a hand me down desk, like that hasn't been -- >> kind of a -- and then, there's, like, books all around and the first book that chasms my eye is this book, the title of which is, "road to

disappointment: the history of the vice presidentcy." somebody wrote that book. >> jimmy: that does seem to be the overall theme of the show. we're going to show a clip from the show. will you help me with the scrabble kids, by the way? think about it. we'll have more with julia louis-dreyfus when we come back. ♪ you've got to be kidding me. sweetie, help us settle this. i say this and this is called southern hospitality. well, i call it the clean getaway.
