11:35 pm
>> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live"! tonight, carey mulligan from "scandal", scott foley. this week in unnecessary censorship. and music from jeff campbell. with cleto and the cletones. and now, while i'm at it, here's jimmy kimmel! ♪ jimmy kimmel live >> jimmy: welcome. thank you for coming. that's very nice.
11:36 pm
i appreciate it. you wouldn't know it from walking around here. christmas is less than two weeks away. are you in the holiday spirit. i hope you are. yes. i know that team at fox news is full of it. the folks at fox news have been concerned about the war on christmas. christmas is under attack by liberals. as a result you barely see any one celebrating it any more. as if it doesn't exist this year. last night on our show, the kelly file, megan kelly assembled a panel to discuss santa claus's race. there is an essay on slate that argues because america is a melting pot. santa shouldn't be a white man anymore. the writer suggested that from
11:37 pm
now on, santa should be a penguin, for real. makes no sense. don't know how she would expect a penguin to carry toys. still for whatever reason this stood out to megan kelly as a topping for debate. >> in slate they have a piece on dot com, santa claus should not be a white man anymore. i saw the headline. i laughed. this is ridiculous. yet another person claiming it is racist to have a white santa. by the way for all you kids watching at home, santa just is white. >> right. all fictional people are white. it'sen the bible. santa just is white. white christmas. white chris. by the way what kids are watching fox news at home. weird kids are those. fortunately they had a whole group of experts on to weigh in on the important subject. you might find this surprising one of monica's panelists, agreed with her completely. >> you are absolutely right. santa claus is based on st.
11:38 pm
nicholas, an actual person, greek bishop and was a white man. you can't take facts and then tripe to change them to fit a political agenda or sensitivity agenda. >> jimmy: you can't. i thought that was the fox news business model? in fact, fox news is doing something interesting this year. over the holidays airing classic christmas movie, it is a wonderful life. a lot of networks do. the difference the way they're promoting it. this christmas, rediscover the heart warming story of the sleepy, economically backwards town of bedfords falls. >> nobody ever changes here, you know that. >> one extraordinary citizen. henry potter. >> i may lose a fortune but i am willing to guarantee your people too. >> this capitalist had a dream. to transform bedford falls into a modern entertainment and business mecca. creating hundreds of new jobs. but one man would stand in his way. >> remember me, george bailey. >> draft dodger george bailey
11:39 pm
and his social ois building and loan. we have to have faith. will henry potter's reforms win the day. >> what does that get us a discontented lazy rabble instead of a working class. >> or will george bailey succeed with his scheme to redistribute wealth. >> they had to wait, save their money before they thought of a decent home. wait for what? >> how far will bailey go to destroy free markets and economic progress. how low will he sin snk. >> where is that money you silly, stupid old fool. >> this christmas enjoy a classic as the it was meant to beef understood. fox news presents, mr. potter and the commies of bedford falls. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: another highly an tis patrioted film this season, the hob bit, the desolation of smog, hits theaters tonight. this is part two of the trilogy.
11:40 pm
part two is the best part. who doesn't love to speech the middle of something, you know. the first hobbit made more than $1 billion. this was nice decided to make it free. it is called giving back. i will be honest. if i want to watch a harry creature run around for three hours, i will take guillermo to gymboree. right, guillermo. >> guillermo: yeah. [ cheers and applause ] nomination for golden globe award were announced this morning. golden globes aren't quite as prestigious as the oscars. it is an opportunity for celebrities to hand each other shiny things so. we go with it. leading the pack were movies, 12 years, and american hustle. each one, seven nominations. american hustle was nominated in best musical or comedy category, her, and nebraska, the wolf of wall street. none of which are musicals or comedies. why get bogged down in details. as always there were
11:41 pm
disappointments. for instance, matt damon was nominated. another pity nomination for playing himselfen that liberace movie. congratulations to him. [ applause ] this is funny. ever fry to walk up an escalator while it is going down to see if you can make it. everyone has the. this guy took the concept to a higher level. i think he was selling his snowmobile. i don't know if heave was showing off. or showing what it could do or screwing around. whatever the case, he decided to use his snowmobile to ski uphill. >> sweet. >> he's go out. >> ya-hoo. >> he's got it. nice. oh, no! >> what did i tell you? [ bleep ]. >> no!
11:42 pm
it's not for sale now! >> jimmy: too far away to help. but just close enough to laugh. new ranking of america's health was released yesterday. annual list that ranks states based on how healthy they are. the healthiest u.s. state is hawaii. this year. and least healthy state is wherever honey boo-boo lives. i don't know where that its. mississippi finished 50th out of 50 states. which isn't surprising. healthy eating is not big in mississippi. their state bird is the fried chicken. hawaii finished second in 2012, but it rose to the top spot this year after lowering smoking rates and obesity. you wouldn't think the state that makes floral print shirts for fat people would be the healthiest. but, lo and behold they are. in other findings of note, researchers from university of adelade, australia, are about to release a book.
11:43 pm
argues humans are not smarter than other animals. they claim that some animals might have superior cognitive faculties. in a way it makes sense. dogs, i know for a fact. dogs are smarter because never once has a dog picked up human poop. eating it maybe, yeah, but never picked it up. does anyone real believe that animals are smarter than, i mean, if they're so smart, how come a pig has never won wheel of fortune. if they're so smart, how do they let things like -- this happen. that's not -- that's not -- adorable, yeah, but not smart. earlier today, instagram, photo/video sharing app, debuted instagram direct, which sound like a marijuana delivery service. it is not. a feature that allows users to send text and photo messages to each other directly. just like e-mail, except nothing. it is e-mail. they have a great idea for a website you can auction stuff off. they're claiming instagram will revolutionize the way men send photos of their private parts. ha-ha.
11:44 pm
someone identified with that statement. in college basketball, ohio state won a mismatch with the bulldogs, beat them 86-48. the buckeye center had a lot to do with it. a reporter from big ten network asked him about the recent improvements on the court and amere gave credit to extra attention he has been getting from his coach. >> amir, a dominating performance, not only by the buckeyes, but by yourself inside. your progression over the last four, five games, what can you attribute that to? >> coach, he has been on my back every day.
11:45 pm
>> jimmy: that's what they call personal training. all right, it's thursday night, time for our weekly tribute to the fcc we bleep and blur things whether they need it or not. this week in unnecessary censorship. >> we are in arlington virginia, just enough snow to cover the grass before [ bleep ] rain and drizzle started to fall. >> and we are [ bleep ] soaking wet and [ bleep ] and endorphines going. back to you in the warm studio. i want to see you on [ bleep ] again. >> the president was [ bleep ] a couple months ago. >> of 173 have signed on from the congress to tell the president, [ bleep ] off on this one. >> [ bleep ] animals, and that's my gosh, i am just, i am shocked. >> look at my [ bleep ]. ha-ha. >> of ♪ ♪ ♪ what i know >> well for far too long here in washington, d.c. [ bleep ] has
11:46 pm
been considered a dirty word. >> name an occupation a woman may have where she would write off a [ bleep ] job as a business expense? >> stripper. >> stripper. >> rudolph with your nose so bright won't you [ bleep ] my [ bleep ] tonight? >> it would be an honor, sir. ho-ho-ho. ho-ho-ho. >> jimmy: we'll take a break. when we come back -- i am going to assist santa by hooking a child to a lie detector to find out if she has been naughty or nice. yes, i am. >> jimmy: we've also got carey mulligan, scott foley, and music from jeff campbell. so don't move a muscle.
