quite a few of them, after which i suggested maybe the video had been cleverly edited to make him look good. i can be very cynical when it comes to you too. -- youtube. his father saw me say that. he made a video to which he challenged me to a shoot-out with titus and i have accepted that challenge. tonight i will play basketball against a baby. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] that's a little bit later. before we get to that, i have some very important kardashian news to report. there are rumors going around that kim kardashian might leave her show, "keeping up with the kardashians" after the up coming eighth and ninth seasons, and there are also rumors that bruce jenner's face might fall off. these rumors stemmed from an interview she just did. she said her boyfriend kanye west has taught her a lot about privacy. she said that to a writer who was printing it in a magazine. she said i'm realizing that

everyone doesn't need to know everything. well, it might be too late for that realization. [ laughter ] then she said, and make sure to check out pictures of my hot new fetus. in this week's ultra sound issue of "us weekly". if she does leave the kardashian show, it would create a vacuum for the e network. everything they worked so hard for could disappear. but they're a resourceful bunch. they are already testing a show if the unthinkable happens and kim goes away. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: it might get better. as you are undoubtedly aware, the oscars are airing live this sunday on abc. the ceremony takes place right across the street from us. i know this sounds like a cliche but it is an honor just to be located across the street from them. it really is. there's an interesting contest going on in the best actress category.

both the youngest and oldest actresses are competing. the star of the movie "beast of the southern wild" is only 9, which kind of makes your kids' performance as tree number two in the school play seem a little less impressive. emanu emanu emanuelle riva is nominated. is 85 years old. she said if she doesn't win, she's threatening to die during the broadcast. which will ruin the montage. there are very few african-americans nominated for the awards. it is a very caucasian award this year. why, i'm not sure. i visited my friends down the street at legends barber shop to get their thoughts on the oscars. hey, everybody, what's happening? good to see you. >> how is everything? >> good, good. >> jimmy: have you been celebrating black history month? >> yes, all month.

>> jimmy: i want to ask some questions about the oscars and the academy awards, just to get your thoughts. >> of course. always. >> jimmy: how many black oscar nominees are there? >> we got denzel. >> jimmy: yes, denzel in "flight." >> the 9-year-old. what's her name -- quivery vajay -- [ laughter ] >> jimmy: "django unchained." spike lee said he didn't like it. >> spike lee didn't make it. [ laughter ] he was mad he didn't think of that movie. >> i was mad that -- like every year, we look for the big blockbuster movies around christmas time. and we normally have like a will smith movie or something like that. we had slaves and orphans. [ laughter ] j >> the one thing about django in the theaters is black people were already laughing.

and everybody else was waiting, like is it okay? like wait until the third or fourth "n" word to sneak a little giggle in. >> jimmy: there's a stereotype about black people that yell at the screen in a movie, but i'll be honest, i've never experienced that. i've never seen that happen. >> anything with magic johnson in it, guarantee you you'll get it. go to like the magic johnson walmart, they'll still scream at you over your stuff. >> jimmy: what's the most yelled at the screen movie of all time? >> boys in the hood. run, nicky, run! like go sideways, go sideways! you want him to live. >> then you see ice krcube in t stre streets, you like i'm sorry about your brother, man. >> jimmy: did everybody see lincoln?

>> yeah, but why couldn't they find an american actor to play him, though? >> i don't understand high they made such a big deal about the vampires and stuff. >> jimmy: no, no -- >> that's the other one. >> that was the best damn movie of the year. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: who was the greatest african-american actor of all time, man or woman? >> samuel jackson. >> jimmy: who do you think is? >> barack obama. >> of all time. >> jimmy: why do you say that? >> like it's impossible. >> jimmy: you're not buying it? >> i'm not buying it. the last month of his last term, he's just going to start pimp slapping people. just slap them as they walk off. >> denzel ever play the president? >> no. not until morgan freeman dies. >> jimmy: let's go through some of the nominees.

i'll show you a picture and you give me your thoughts on, first of all, this guy right here. "silver linings playbook." >> bradley cooper. >> is that ben affleck? >> jimmy: that is not ben affleck. >> they say he got snubbed. >> "hangover" guy. >> he did good. >> jimmy: here's another one. this is a movie -- >> that guy is funny. >> seymour something. >> jimmy: do you know what his movie was this year? >> "the master." >> we went with django. >> jimmy: well, thank you guys. i really appreciate it. once again, i appreciate getting a perspective that i don't have. because i don't know if you guys know this, but i'm white. >> you're white? >> you got a lot of black friends. >> jimmy: thank you very much. that's right. well, thank you, black friends. >> not a problem.

not a problem. >> jimmy: take care. >> all right, see you later. >> hey, wait, wait, wait. where you going? you ain't paid yet. >> he never pays, dude. that's how they stay rich. >> see, he is white.

[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: i would imagine, that you would be very nervous about this launch. >> yeah. absolutely. i'm nervous about every launch. and things have gone well in recent years. but in the beginning it was pretty tough. the first three launches of our initial rocket, the falcon 1, was a lot smaller and it didn't work. i have real good memories of -- i have vivid memories of picking up shards of rocket. >> jimmy: that's not covered on your homeowner's insurance. >> no. >> jimmy: you were out of your pocket when something like that happens. >> that was rough. >> jimmy: and on top of this, this capsule would be, this would be for a manned mission. >> yeah. that's actually our cargo capsule.

we're developing a version two of our dragon spacecraft which will be a big step forward. so this comes in by a parachute to a water landing. like the apollo era. but this will land propulsively with landing gear, it will land on its engines. >> jimmy: and you'll be able to use it again. >> absolutely. >> jimmy: this is the interior of your proposed spacecraft. how long would those people be sitting like that? >> typically the trip to the space station would take less than a day once we have -- >> jimmy: less than a day. oh, yeah. what do you do when you get to the space station? it seems like 45 minutes goes by and you want to go back home. [ laughter ] >> right. well, you know, flying around in zero g can be quite interesting. >> jimmy: do you want to go up there? >> i do. >> jimmy: why haven't you? are you not convinced that the technology is safe? [ laughter ] >> i'm not crazy. not crazy enough, i suppose.

i do want to go at some point. and it is probably not a good idea for the co to be the test pilot but i really want -- >> jimmy: probably not. would a human survive on the rocket that you're launching next week? >> they would actually. so what a lot of people don't maybe realize is that if someone were to stowaway on our spacecraft, they could go to the space station and back and be okay as long as the trip worked. if somebody stowed away on our last flight, they would have been okay. >> jimmy: sounds like a plot to a larry the cable guy movie. >> be like hello! surprise. like whoa. >> jimmy: but they shouldn't stow away. >> no, no. >> jimmy: if they did, it's a great way to experiment. >> exactly. and just for a laugh, on the very first test flight of dragon, we actually launched a giant wheel of cheese. and sent it to orbit and back. >> jimmy: did you taste it when it came back? >> no, it didn't look right. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: i guess that's not a

good soon. >> it was from beverly hills cheese shop. it was the biggest wheel of cheese that they had. >> jimmy: how much did it cost you to send that wheel of cheese to space? >> it was like about $100 million. >> jimmy: that's ridiculous. >> it is. >> jimmy: your goal is to -- maybe one of your many goals is to colonize mars. >> i think a space civilization is far more exciting than one that's not. if there's a calamity on earth, humanity will continue. >> jimmy: is that a good idea to tell people that just in case we destroy this earth, we've got a fresh new earth we can all go to, so the whatever you want. it's like telling the kid if you wreck the car, i'm going to buy you a new tesla. >> i'm not suggesting complacency to the earth that we live in, but i think over time we can make it just like earth. >> jimmy: will we have television up there? >> absolutely. >> jimmy: i'd love to have the

first talk show on mars. i think that would be a lot of fun. maybe we'll send guillermo first. >> i would love to. >> jimmy: would mexicans be allowed on mars? >> everyone. >> jimmy: well, there are so many different things you're involved with. i know you're involved with solar city. solar power for homes and businesses. you've got the elect rric car. tesla. i have to say you really make us feel bad about ourselves. [ laughter ] are you working on anything crazy, like have you thought about time travel or anything like that? >> i don't think time travel is possible. but there is this -- >> jimmy: you're so pessimistic. [ laughter ] >> i mean, there is this thing -- this idea that i have called a hyper loop. >> jimmy: i've heard of this. when are you going to publish the paper about the hyper loop? >> i should probably get tesla profitable before i publish

stuff about the hyper loop because otherwise people might think i'm getting a little distracted onside projects. >> jimmy: okay. but let us know about the hyper loop. i don't even know what it is, but i want part of it. [ laughter ] well, it's great to meet you. if you want to watch the launch, why wouldn't you want to watch the launch? it's a space-x rocket. go to spacex.com. thanks for being here. we'll be right back with the mowgli's. >> jimmy: jimmy kimmel here with a word about the new ten-calorie 7-up 10 that's impressing everyone, even micayla maroney. >> hi, i'm guillermo. not everybody knows this, but once i was a very impressive

gymnast in my country. but my friend micayla doesn't get impressed by anything. so watch this. thank you. [ laughter ] okay. are you impressed? >> no. sorry, guillermo. >> i have something that might impress you. the new 7 up 10. it tastes great and low in calories. >> wow, guillermo. i'm impressed. >> can i have it back? >> only if you pronounce my name back. >> moraca. >> dicky: 7 up ten is something micayla and everyone can enjoy. finally the perfect ten.
