dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live!" tonight, kerry washington, "science bob" pflugfelder, this week in unnecessary censorship, and music from sleigh bells. with cleto and the cletones. and now, hold fast, here's jimmy kimmel! ♪ ♪ [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: thank you very much. welcome to the show. thank you for watching. thank you for coming to my house.

[ applause ] i appreciate that. can you feel the government running again? the government shut down officially ended last night. should we be happy the government is back? i feel like my sister got back together with an abusive boyfriend or something. here is an interesting fact -- not a single real housewife knew about the government shut down. i'm still not entirely clear on what happened. as far as i know president obama signed a bill to redo the ceiling at the capitol building and now the zoo is open again. the national zoo in washington, d.c. opens back up tomorrow. but their famous panda-cam is operational. because of budget cuts they had

to shut the panda-cam down. i think it just went back on. there it is. oh, look at that. and that's -- iffage in. i guess they forgot to feed them or something. all right. look at that. isn't that adorable. i don't know if you know this, pandas survive on strict diet of bamboo and members only jackets. as members of the house were voting last night. a long time house stenographer, diane foster-readi went up to the microphone and started, she said this. he will not be mocked. he will not be mocked. don't touch me. he will not be mocked. the greatest deception here is this is not one nation under god. it never was, had it been -- no! it would not -- a constitution written by freemasons. they go against god. >> come on --

>> you cannot serve two masters. you cannot serve two masters. praise be to god. lord jesus christ. >> jimmy: finally some one says what we have all been thinking. god, freemasons. like the opening scene of a "national treasure" movie. they dragged her away, took her to the hospital. for evaluation. her husband said she is fine. she plans to show up for work tuesday. for real. she told fox news -- the holy spirit has been waking her of in the middle of the night preparing her for this moment. why does the holy spirit come in the middle of the night. can't come at lunchtime like a normal person. that's something. that is easily the craziest thing i have seen a stenographer do. in fact it might be the only thing i have seen a stenographer do. speaking of nutty people in politics -- anthony weiner is back in the news. he said an interesting thing. he said if the internet didn't exist he would probably be mayor of new york. all right. i would be flying right now if

gravity didn't exist. before the internet he would have been a regular guy in a trench coat hiding behind a tree. while we were on that subject. i want to mention, we got quite an episode of "grey's anatomy" on abc. a patient on the show tonight was admitted into grace sloan memorial hospital after he got his penis stuck in a hornet's nest. now grey's anatomy is ripping off plot lines from downton abbey, if your penis gets stuck in a hornet's nest, try to go to a hospital with less attractive doctors. and also on abc tonight, we've also got kerry washington, "science bob" pflugfelder, and a real school teacher from

massachusetts. this should give you an idea of what he does. he shot foam into the air. toilet paper into the air. he had exploding pringles cans. last time he brought a hover craft. zipped around the studio. shot millions of ping-pong balls. made a cloud in the studio. science bob has a halloween theme for us. tonight, science bob has a big laser. we will carve a pumpkin with it. a very powerful laser. don't worry, you will be safe as long as you are wearing heavy duty lead aprons they gave you on the way in. oh, they didn't give out aprons? important thing, i will have a lead apron on. this is good. i saw this on our local fox channel this afternoon. anchorman steve edwards doing a story about a couple cited for having sex on a plane. now that the shut down is over it is back to serious business. but the best part is how they chose to illustrate this particular story. ordinarily when people join the mile high club they confine their sexual high jinks to a

restroom. a former winemaker from oregon and girlfriend have to pay a fine of $250 because they did it right out in the open on the plane. here is the guy, christopher martin. scene with gordon ramsey who has nothing to do with the story whatsoever. anyway. >> kind of very deceiving. and you see the two guys and it says sex on a plane. >> wow, gordon ramsey having sex with a guy on a plane. i saw it on his own network. they're going straight to hell's kitchen for that. facebook made another change to their privacy settings. it used to be that users between ages of 13 and 17 weren't allowed to share their personal information with the general public they could share with friends and family now. they can. the new feature is called the terrible decision that will haunt you for life setting. you all most have to admire face book.

they openly announce. we are making our site less private, complain for five minutes and accept it. we do. any of you planning to go to the movies this weekend. [ cheers and applause ] if you like -- to be honest i don't care if you do or don't. but tomorrow the remake of the classic horror film "carrie" opens in theaters. for the most part stays true to the original. except the lead role, different actress. and the name of the main character, slightly, well, here's the trailer. ♪ >> something super natural happened here. >> her mother was a fanatic. i don't know how she lived with her. >> she wasn't some monster. she was just a girl. [ ominous music plays ] >> you are going to the prom with me. i see dead people. and i move things with my mind.

[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: nice. yesterday in case you don't know it was national boss' day. i hope you remembered to halfheartedly honor your boss to. celebrate the holiday, i sent cousin sal on hollywood boulevard yesterday to give people a chance to tell their boss what they think of that person on television from behind the protection of a halloween mask. in honor of national boss' day tell house you really feel about your boss? >> i think if a douche bag and a butt hole mated the spawn of that would be my boss. >> my boss is a fat arabian man who likes to bang prostitutes underneath security cameras. >> really? >> for being a therapist. nobody likes you. you are analyzing people. people are analyzing you and calling you a very hormonal -- >> don't be a pussycat. do it.

>> i love you a lot you pay me well. get your own [ bleep ] coffee. >> this jack -- didn't show up for my interview. i showed up. i went all the way across town. so to you who was going to be my boss, f you. >> wow. hold on. >> i thought you ran hogwarts. you have a boss? >> no, i was at the north pole. >> a joke because of the way you look. >> thank you. >> my boss sucks. i don't give a [ bleep ] about, and [ bleep ], and all he is is, we don't mean [ bleep ] to them, and as a matter of fact they can take that place and stick it up their [ bleep ], as far as i'm concerned. stick it up -- can i say that on tv. >> you can't say [ bleep ]. no. >> cut the [ bleep ] out. >> nice job. let's wrestle. >> oh. >> tell us how you feel about your boss? >> he is a total douche bag. probably should burn in hell. glad i am wearing this mask.

horrible, horrible boss. >> horrible man? >> yeah. >> you have a tattoo there. >> yep. >> what is that? >> the rosary. >> the other one. >> initials and a crown. >> your initials. >> b.g.? what does that stand for? >> brian grimm. my initials. >> thank you, brian grimm. here, i will take the mask. >> take care. >> unemployment can be nice too. we're going to take a break. when we come back we, have this week in unnecessary censorship, kerry washington, science bob pflugfelder, and music from sleigh bells. so come on back.

[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: instant replay there. oh, my. why would it happen so suddenly? >> because all the chemicals run out at the very end. that's what caused it. >> jimmy: now it is soy sauce. >> you wouldn't want to put that on your lomein. >> jimmy: okay. >> i mention i'd brought a laser with me. people are familiar with laser pointers. >> jimmy: that better not be the laser. >> that's not the laser. >> caller: kerry had one of those on her head tonight on the show. >> did you? >> i was courageous enough to. >> jimmy: she was. >> we have, we have the military using lasers, laser surgery, eye surgery with lasers. i thought it would be exciting to explode a pumpkin with lasers. awe call on over here. come right over here. i know it doesn't look like much. a rather high-powered. much higher than that. you want to be careful. we have special glasses that will shield us from the waves of this.

continuing with the halloween theme. we have them for the band. they're sort of in the line of sight here. >> jimmy: oh. what a cool look for everyone. >> here's what we are going to do. we will power up the laser. follow me. we have balloons here. a black spot on the balloon. that is going to absorb the energy and hopefully pop bat loon. come on down the line. there are five parts. this is part one. part two we have got bottles here that are filled with ethanol fuel that will create a combustible vapor in here. that is going to light the flash paper. flash paper will drop in. see some flames in there. >> wait, wait, where are we standing? >> that's going to go. >> jimmy: safely away. >> the balloon is filled with hydrogen, highly flammable. that will explode. boom. you might want to plug your ears
