it's "jimmy kimmel live!" tonight mary-louise parker. from "pacific rim" idris elba. and music from rhye with cleto and the cletones. and now, now that that's settled, here's jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: welcome. thank you. thank you for coming. [ cheers and applause ] welcome to california. i hope you had a fun fourth of july weekend. anyone have a fireworks accident?
11:36 pm
show of stumps. no? we had a long weekend here, four-day weekend. and i know my co-workers are just being friendly when they ask how my fourth of july was, r but i'd like it to stop because here's an interesting thing about my fourth of july. nothing. i did what everyone else did. we made jell-o that looked like the flag, and we ate it. [ laughter ] the other thing that bothers me about the fourth of july, and barbecues in general, is people who bring their own meat to your house. you ever have that? like they're saying, i didn't know what the meat situation would be but i took the liberty of bringing some. but just enough for myself. [ laughter ] if i can use your grill. that to me is un-american. you know, we went to the beach, my family, for a fireworks show. and fireworks are a lot like sex in a lot of ways. there's the exciting beginning. there's the grand finale. but in between there's a long middle part where you're like, i wonder how long this is going to go on. [ laughter ] am i right, ladies, or am i right? [ cheers and applause ] in pamplona, which is in spain,
11:37 pm
yesterday they began the running of the bulls. or as it's known to the bulls, the running of the morons. [ laughter ] you know who hates running of the bulls more than anyone? homeless people in pamplona. they're like, hey, hey, we're trying to sleep. a couple runners thought they could get away from one of the bulls by diving into the river. unfortunately, they were being chased by a rare amphibious bull. [ laughter ] this might be the first time someone got gored and drowned at the same time. [ laughter ] actually, nobody got gored yesterday, which is a rarity. i'm not sure if that makes the event a success or a failure. but only four people were treated for injuries. don't worry, though, the bulls run for another six days. so there's still plenty of time for something terrible to happen. former president bush and first lady laura bush were in africa last week. they were there on a humanitarian visit. and this to me is the worst part about being president. it's not deciding whether to send troops to war or the daily scrutiny of the schedule. worst part of being president i think is being forced to dance with villagers. [ laughter ]
11:38 pm
imagine if lincoln had to do this? he wouldn't be on money. [ laughter ] i have to hand it to him. it looks like someone saw "magic mike" on showtime this month. [ laughter ] a california lawmaker's leading an unusual crusade right now. assemblyman rob bonta from oakland introduced a proposal that if passed would require the state to provide condoms to prison inmates. apparently, the rate of sexually transmitted diseases is very high among the prison population. back in 2007 our then governor arnold schwarzenegger vetoed a bill that would have provided condoms to prisoners. if there's one thing arnold schwarzenegger is not in favor of, it is condoms. [ laughter ] and i do think he's proven that with his words and his actions. but assemblyman bonta wants to reverse that. and i agree. i think condoms are a step in the right direction. and flowers would be nice, too. how exactly will this work? when the 350-pound white supremacist is about to mount you, you ask if he has
11:39 pm
protection? [ laughter ] whether you're for or against this, i think we can all agree that it is great news for incarcerated clowns who want to keep up with their balloon animals. [ laughter ] speaking of sex in unusual places, this is an interesting twist on a classic local news story. a woman in new york just turned 100 years old. so local news 12 sent a reporter to her house to do what they always do in these situations, ask inane questions and wait for an answer of some kind. but this particular centenarian had something very different and something very dirty in mind. >> [ bleep ]. >> what are you doing to celebrate your birthday? >> huh? >> what are you doing to celebrate your birthday? >> [ bleep ]. >> what does it mean to you to make it to 100? >> [ bleep ]. 100 [ bleep ]. the good stuff is [ bleep ].
11:40 pm
it will be better when i get a good [ bleep ]. >> well, at least she isn't hard to buy for. [ applause ] being old isn't for everyone. after six months of testing, facebook is finally rolling out its graphsearch feature for users in the united states. graphsearch lets you search for very specific things within your group of friends. for instance, you could find all your friends who live in brooklyn and are vegan. that way you know who not to invite to parties. [ laughter ] basically, facebook is allowing you to create specific subgroups among your friends, which can be very helpful when it comes, to i don't know, figuring out who gave you herpes. i don't know what. [ laughter ] this truly is the golden age of being creepy. by the way, the nsa should just buy facebook. they wouldn't need to spy on us because we are already spying on each other all the time. [ laughter ] but if you're concerned like i am about these new search features, facebook has made it relatively easy to change your privacy settings. you simply hit the account tab
11:41 pm
in the upper left-hand corner of the screen. scroll down to settings. then choose privacy from the pop-up menu. you'll be directed to a screen offering a variety of selections from which you can simply review the tabs applicable to the types of posts you'd like people to be able to access. click the pulldown menus for each tab associated with each privacy setting you'd like to change. make sure town click the boxes associated with sharing in the profile and make sure you click through the advanced options so you can manually enable https and prevent friend of friend sharing from being able to access the share tabs you specifically designated protected. and then you move on to step 2. it's as simple as that. [ applause ] i'm exhausted. this is pretty good. i saw this on cnn headline news while i was in pilates this morning. it's the cnn headline news awkward segue of the day. ♪ >> i always wondered why in baseball you have to see the managers in the tight white pants. >> it's the only league where
11:42 pm
the managers wear uniforms. yeah. >> we don't need to see that. >> and they're the one -- it's the one time where you don't wait to see all the tightness. >> a family's home exploded in the middle of the day. ♪ >> that's unfortunate. maybe their home exploded because its uniform was too tight. [ laughter ] disgraced former governor eliot spitzer is getting back into politics. he announced his intention to run for comptroller of the city of new york. now, if you're wondering what exactly a comptroller does, it's interesting. he comptrols. he or she is totally in charge of comptroling in the area. as you may recall eliot spitzer resigned from the governor's office five years ago after what, he was crushed by a pile of prostitutes or something. but he's back. and what makes this news interesting is one of his opponents, a woman named kristen
11:43 pm
davis, is the madam who supplied him with call girls. it's the classic story of boy meets girl, boy pays for sex with girl, boy resigns in disgrace and then boy runs against girl he paid for other girls for the office of comptroller. [ laughter ] in africa they call it "hooker matata." [ applause ] but this is unquestionably the most excited i've ever been for a comptroller election. if you watch this show with any regularity, you know that i am a fan of practical jokes. and this is a good one. this guy's girlfriend fell asleep on the couch. so he set up -- that's a puppet he set up to make it look like a ghost is coming out of the tv set like in the movie "the ring." and once the trap was set, he went behind the tv and started making noise. [ screaming ] this is her point of view. you know, it's nice. most couples have wedding videos. very few couples have video of the moment they broke up. [ laughter ] but they do. hey, if you -- yes, well done. [ applause ]
11:44 pm
lonely guy. if you're desperate to quit ñi smoking, this is a method you might want to consider. a turkish man, a man named ibrahim yucel, has been smoking two packs a day for the last 26 years. so what he did is he started wearing a cage on his head to keep cigarettes away from his lips. here's another shot. the cage has a lock on each side. i don't know where you'd buy something -- i don't know who makes lockable head cages. but every day before he leaves the house his wife locks the cage on his head and keeps the keys so he can't take it off. and he says he hasn't smoked a single cigarette since he started wearing it. which i found this very simple but effective technique. so we arranged an interview with ibrahim via skype. and please say hello now to ibrahim yucel. hello, ibrahim. [ cheers and applause ] ibrahim, it's jimmy kimmel. >> hello.
11:45 pm
>> jimmy: and we're calling from the united states. >> it is hard to see you because i have a cage on my head. >> jimmy: yes, i see that. so tell me, you decided to try to quit smoking by -- [ phone ringing ] -- putting a cage on your head. is that your phone? >> excuse me. >> jimmy: yes. >> hello? hello? i cannot hear you because i have a cage on my head. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: ibrahim, tell us how the cage works. how does it -- how do you do it? >> every morning my beautiful wife yamush locks the cage on my head, and i cannot open. >> jimmy: i see. >> do you see? >> jimmy: yes. how do you eat, then, all day long? >> i can poke a straw through the cage. and i drink the jamba juice. [ laughter ]
11:46 pm
>> jimmy: oh, okay. but couldn't you -- couldn't you stick a cigarette in the end of the straw and put the other end in your mouth and smoke? kind of an extension thing? >> what? >> jimmy: i mean, couldn't you just use the straw to suck the -- to draw the smoke from the cigarette like you did with the jamba juice? >> that's not a bad idea. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: i didn't -- >> okay. well, it's a little community theater from turkey. [ applause ] we're going to take a break. when we come back, my cousin sal has a hidden camera prank bit for us. he's going to have some fun with unsuspecting guests at the hotel across the street. plus mary-louise parker, idris elba, and music from rhye are coming up. we'll be right back.

"i love big butts. i cannot lie." and the presenter was like, what? i couldn't understand what was going on. then i said no, i'm only joking. we're going to -- "could you be loved?" but it turns out the guy had a big butt and so it was a bit awkward. >> jimmy: oh, that worked out perfectly. [ laughter ] you were also a radio dj.
12:26 am
a pirate -- like a real pirate radio -- because we in the united states, we have a couple of pirate radios but most of them are pretending to be pirate radio stations. but you were one of these stations that would broadcast illegally. from where did you broadcast? >> they used to put the pirate radios in like high-rises because that's where the aerials could go. so you'd literally go out to the top of the 25th floor and you know, you'd dj there. they'd have a whole setup there. if you'd get caught, you'd have to run, leave everything you could and just get out there >> did you ever get raided? >> no, man. >> jimmy: you didn't. were you ready to go at all times? >> i loved it, man. i loved doing the radio. i used to -- you do the prank. i used to do the prank calls. >> jimmy: oh, did you? >> yeah. i used to call up chinese restaurants and order jamaican food. yeah, i'd like some curried goat, man. oh, we have curry but we don't have goat. >> jimmy: it's funny all around the world. i think chinese restaurants are the most pranked establishment
