>> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live"! tonight, christina ricci, from "new girl", jake johnson, and music from danny brown! with cleto and the cletones! and now, after all's been said and done, here's jimmy kimmel! [ applause ] >> thank you for being here tonight. great to have you here.

an interesting thing, you see a show on tv like this one with famous guests on it. and it's in hollywood with all the stars' names on the sidewalk. something for the most part exists on your tv late in your house or your computer. you write-in, you get tickets, you actually come to see the show. you see guillermo and me and you see the studio and you realize it's a lot crap pir than you mentioned, right? maybe it's just me, i don't know. well, at least the weather is nice. it's a lot nicer than it is in most of the countries. plymouth, massachusetts, got record snow fall today, 18 inches. or is like a foot, almost a foot. yeah. emergency services are asking citizens to stay inside and post

status updates about how cold it is. it's around 15 to 25 degrees colder than average on the east coast. i knew there was a reason we're so fat. it's life-saving insulation on our bodies. federal offices in washington, d.c. did reopen today, but with two hour delays. which is less than usual, right? not bad for them. so much of the country is covered in snow, but here in california there's a severe drought. we have not had any kind of precipitation in a long time. if you're on the east coast, please don't salt away your snow. if you don't wnt it, or if you have too much, shovel it into a bag. send it to the mountains, california. you don't need to put a zip code in. it will get to us. believe me, we appreciate it. philadelphia was hit particularly hard today. they had 14 inches of snow, which is always hardest on the local news reporters and sometimes even harder on the people passing by them. >> we have seen things improve down here. we've started seeing plows going

through. it is a sloppy, slippery mess. oh, watch out, sir. okay, i'm so sorry. we've just watched this gentleman -- this is what happens when you're -- you can fall. >> jimmy: yeah, you can. she's right. i think she willed that to happen, i really do. the cold weather could really kill the girl scout cookie season. here's my thing with girl scout cookies. i'll always buy them. i don't want to buy them frarnts. i always want to buy them from the kids. unless the parents are in uniform. if your father comes to work in a skirt, isle buy however many boxes he want. otherwise, i like to see them in person. i like the thin mints. you put them in the freezer. then forget you put them in there and you find them eight months later covered with an inch of frost and you throw them away. this is a heart warming story, after 12 years of trying,

two-man jamaican bobsled team finally qualified for the winter olympics. it cost $80,000 to raise the money themselves. but they did it. and, in fact, they're still doing it. they raised more than $80,000. and part of what they're doing is right outside our building. hey, guys. how's it going out there. >> we are almost out of cookie, jimmy. >> great job, jimmy kimmel. great idea. sno sno >> jimmy: i'm glad i could help. put me down to three boxes of thin mints. >> three boxes of thin mints? >> jimmy: yes, yes, three boxes. >> one, two, thin mint, thin

mint, thin mints, thin mints. >> jimmy: bobsledders are so adorable at that age. they look more like nurses than girl scouts, didn't they? after weeks if not months of lying dormant, rob ford has risen like the mighty phoenix and waddled back into our lives. a video surfaced yesterday that showed him ranting and raving in a jamaican accent at a restaurant called state queen. mayor ford confirmed the video was new. it was shot on monday night and that he had been drinking but also says it's not really anyone's business what he does outside of work. >> monday was unfortunate. i had a minor setback. we all experience these difficult bumps in life. i am telling the toronto residents that i'm still working hard every day to improve my health and my well being. but again, this is completely a private matter. >> right.

it's between him and his state queen. and he's right. we've all had bumps. not everyone snorts them off a key, but still. needless to say, this caused quite a co-motion at city hall. >> out of the ways, guys. watch it. come on. stop pushing me, man. >> let it go. >> jimmy: he's like a bull in a bevmo. watching that video gave me a fun idea. do you know what a meme is? blanking was a meme, vadering was a meme. it's something people will do on social media. i think i've come up with a new one. it's called rob fording. follow me. isle show you how it's done.

>> out of the way, guys. out of the way. >> back through. [ applause ] >> jimmy: see? kind of scary. thanks for your help with that, guillermo. appreciate it. so get a coup dozen friends together and try that at home. the cost of nuts has gone up a

lot lately. the price of walnuts has tripled according to the california w l walnut board, which is almost as surprising as the fact that there's a california walnut board. thieves have been stealing massive quantities of them. this season in central california, thieves stole $100,000 in almonds. another $100,000 in pistachios and $400,000 in walnuts. police believe a low level crime ring is responsible. either that or this is the work of some highly coordinated squirrels. but in any case, it's a big problem for nut farmers here in california who are trying to raise awareness so the authorities will take this more seriously. >> i'm a california nut grower. >> i'm a california nut grower. >> i'm a california nut grower. >> i make my living from my nuts. >> i spend hours growing my nuts. >> i have over 500 workers handling my nuts. >> my nuts are missing. >> my sack is empty.

>> let's put our nuts back where they belong. >> in our hands. >> so we can put them back in your mouth. >> hands off our nuts. >> paid for by these nuts and lance armstrong. >> jimmy: we need to take a break. when we come back, you should stay up for this. i'm having a cake baking competition with guillermo, my mother, cousin sal, my aunt chippy, it's fun. plus christina ricci, jake johnson and the music from danny brown, too. so don't desert us. what makes olive garden's rich, irresistible parmesan! the star of our new 2 for $25 menu. choose two melt-in-your mouth entrées topped with decadent parmesan like tender new parmesan crusted chicken or creamy new parmesan crusted tortellini.

[ bleep ]. >> i'm not supposed to do [ bleep ] like that. >> we have a lot of work to do. >> mom, what did you bring, drawings? >> this one michelangelo brings drawings of what she's going to do. >> it's just winter trees with little birds. >> jimmy: i consider this cheating, by the way. >> the only thing i can do is little balls. i can do balls.

>> here, look. >> guillermo: what are you making? >> i got balls. >> chippy is leaving you guys in the dust, just so you know. >> but she'll be dead before any of us, so we'll leave her in the dust, right? >> that looks disgusting. going to make a veal cutlet. >> little pickles, little mustard. you know? >> min looks like silly puddy. >> what happened to my balls? >> it's every man for himself here. >> sal, you better cut out the [ bleep ]. i had all the balls on there. nice. he took all my balls. >> you have to make them sick. they rolled off. it's not a level table. >> look at that. he's eating it already. are you eating the cake? >> what are you doing? >> i'm sculpting, jimmy. >> jimmy: you're a sculpting? >> guillermo: yeah.

>> do you remember mommy baking, joan? >> jimmy: mommy? >> yeah, we have a mother. >> jimmy: but you call her mother, not mommy. what are you, 4 years old? >> referring to her, it was our mother which is mommy. >> jimmy: but it sounds stupid. >> mommy. >> so do you sound stupid sometimes. >> jimmy: now you complain that sal is harassing you and you do the same thing to me. so sorry about my -- she doesn't usually behave like this. >> let me see now. i like these little cutout things. let's see what else we've got here. >> this is amazing. >> sal, you better cut it out! you took my balls off again. >> your balls now? >> i'm not touching your disgusting mess over there. >> now this is disgusting. >> yeah, it is. >> ready? i'll say when. >> should i have gloves on? >> no, you're good. >> jimmy: look at that.

[ applause ] >> how are you? >> jimmy: good. you had a busy few months. you got married in august? >> october.

>> jimmy: and you got on twitter. >> huge milestones. >> jimmy: why did you decide to now get on twitter? i think it's almost over. >> well, i like to just get on things when they're dying out. you know? it's good petering out. >> jimmy: do you have a my space account? >> yeah, same month. >> jimmy: you've been on there a short time but somehow managed already to create something called ricci'ing. >> i dependent create it. i like to fit in small spaces and have my friends take pictures of it. >> jimmy: i have a series of photographs. >> that's the most recent one. that's my sink. >> jimmy: you're in the sink. it would be easy to wash you. >> that's the drying. there was one where i was in the drier, but it was really unflattering. >> and that's the fridge. >> jimmy: that's yours? >> no, no.

i w it was at work. >> jimmy: so well stocked with the two brita filters. >> jimmy: it's not mine. it's a work fridge. so i went on "kelly and michael." and they said it's called #riccing. i said what's that? they said it's your thing. >> jimmy: kelly is the only other person i think could do this sort of thing because she's also elf sized. >> yeah. >> jimmy: have you -- i mean, it seems a little bit dangerous. >> i did get a few messages from people saying you're not going to be really happy when a child dies in the oven and sufficietu that. >> jimmy: who would be happy about that. >> of course i'm not going to be happy about that. >> jimmy: you're not encouraging others to do it. it's just something you do.

what's the most dangerous position you put yourself in. >> you have to use your brain. you don't go somewhere you can't get out of that's on, like the electricity is on or something like that. >> jimmy: you should not log yourself in a toaster oven. >> no, i did once try to get into a mailbox. couldn't get in there. and it hurt a little bit trying to get in there. >> jimmy: that would have been a great surprise for the postal carrier. but i really wanted to get in really badly. >> jimmy: what is your holy grail? is there something -- >> when i was on pan-am, they let me get into the overhead compartment. i was really excited. >> jimmy: was it on the real plane or one of the fake tv planes? >> it was the fake tv plane. but still. >> jimmy: it's fun to be in the overhead compartment. >> i had to put in how much i weighed and everything and negotiate for it. >> jimmy: that's dangerous for a different reason. i think if the airline saw that that was possible, they would start selling those spots for

people. >> maybe. >> jimmy: so you've got that going on. which is great. >> good for me. >> jimmy: another thing you -- on twitter, you mention prince a lot. >> yeah, i really like prince. >> jimmy: do you know prince? >> no, i don't. and i actually don't really want to meet him. i do and i don't. it's a weird thing. i want prince to be like my little buddy who comes own aefr we eat sundays and watch lifetime movies and pick out purple outfits. and then we go to the galleria and i have to order an orange julius for him because he doesn't talk to strangers. >> jimmy: so you want him to be an imaginary mascot. >> he's very small. it would be like two small people with purple. and he wouldn't be talking to people. >> jimmy: is his size one of the things that kind of attracts you to him. >> yes. and he looks like my little

pony, you know? he does. those big eyes. and he's like the -- >> jimmy: you don't mean that as an insult at all, right? you mean that as an actual compliment, don't you? >> yes. i love him. i mean, i hope he wouldn't take that as an insult. he has those big gorgeous doe eyes. >> jimmy: who would take that as an insult, you look like a horse. >> no, not a horse. a mythical pony. >> jimmy: have you seen him in concert? >> no, but i do invite him -- he's on the permanent guest list for any premier i have. who would you like to invite. it's always prince. >> jimmy: does he know he's on the -- >> i don't know. i don't know. i've never gotten a response. >> jimmy: oh, so you actually do send him an invitation? >> yeah. >> jimmy: you ought to just squeeze into his mailbox and one day he comes out. >> i don't know if i really want to meet him. i think it's probably good it's

an imaginary thing. and then in person, itch probably would act like a reject. and it would go -- >> jimmy: after this interview, he probably has some sort of restraining order against you anyway. >> so it's more of just a thing. >> jimmy: you're as faring in this movie about lizzie borden, which most of us know about the rhyme as kids. >> lizzie borden killed home run stepmother and her father in 1890 with an ax. >> jimmy: they say she killed them, but she was acquitted of killing them. >> yeah, but she was guilty. >> jimmy: i tell you something, i happen to have read about this story. there's a guy named bill game james who wrote a book called popular crime. he investigates these famous stories. and he concluded she absolutely did not kill him. >> that's so weird because everything i read online is that she definitely did it. >> jimmy: well, that's online. this is a book. >> see, yours is probably better. >> jimmy: mine is on paper.

it's not imaginary like your friend prince. it's a real thing on a shelf and everything. >> you know, i made the movie. and in the movie, she's guilty. >> jimmy: so when you were making the movie, you were thinking of her as -- >> we kind of had to make a decision. so there's a foundation of behavior, and the director and i kind of decided that yes, she was guilty. and where i went from there was just how she sort of manipulated and deceived everybody. and what kind of person could actually be capable of this. >> jimmy: also i think legally on lifetime, the star has to ax murder somebody. >> naked. >> jimmy: all the lifetime movies. >> oh, yeah, i'm naked. >> jimmy: you can be naked on lifetime? >> well, strategic shots and stuff. blood spattering across your stomach. >> jimmy: so they do show the crime happening. or is it some sort of flashback scene, testimony type of thing?

you didn't watch it, did you? is this a real movie or is it another thing you made up. >> they show it in different ways throughout the film. >> jimmy: i see, i see. yeah, right. want to get as much as you can out of that. >> yeah. >> jimmy: i think elizabeth montgomery played lizzie borden many, many years ago. it was a big thing. >> yeah. >> jimmy: well, you do think she did it? >> i do, yes. >> jimmy: but you didn't really read that much about it? >> no. >> jimmy: these actors, that i go and they become the character, they ride along with the police. it's nonsense. you don't even know who this person is. i admire your lack of commitment, i will say that. the movie is called "lizzi "lizzie borden took an ax." it airs saturday night at 8:00 on lifetime. christina ricci, everyone. thanks for being here. we'll be back with jake johnson.

>> prince did his scene. i asked him, do you like acting? because he was really good. i said you're very good, prince. do you enjoy acting? he goes no. >> jimmy: he's very straightforward, i guess. >> all right, prince. but he said he had been to our taping and .he had been to a "cheers" taping. he said i went to a taping of cheers. i was like that's pretty cool. he said i wanted to see this. >> jimmy: i wonder what his side of your conversation was. >> some annoying guy who's in one scene really pissed me off and now he's talking about it on jimmy kimmel. >> jimmy: another annoying guy. before you were one of prince's co closest friends and a television star, how did you get into showbizne showbiznesho show business, what was your big break? >> i was doing stand b-up.

i got a commercial break. the way commercials work, you go out for regular ones and then there's big ones. the big ones you don't hear the details was. if you go out for apple, you don't know it's an apple spot. it's a mystery spot. so i got a mystery spot and i'm like oh, i was broke at the time. so i was like fantastic. it's broken up into groups. you kind of tell how this business sees you by who you're auditioning against. i see a bunch of whack-a-doos in one corner. 400-pounders in pony tails. and 85-pounders in braces. then i see a bunch of hunks over here with suits. all right, those guys are hunks. then a bunch of cute girls over here. where do i stand here? jake johnson. and they point me over to the whack-a-doos. all right, i guess i'm a whack-a-doo. whatever. so i walk over and there was this really heavy set asian dude with a pony tail. i'm like what's the deal on this

one? he's like it's a tampax commercial. i'm like what a drag. and he goes, it's about the tampax pearl, it's about upgrading your life. i was like well, what are we doing? he was like we're the before guys. i was like oh, no, no, no, no. they got me in the wrong category, jack. this isn't my game. i looked at him and this 8 5-pounder with braces and i was like congrats, man. you're about to book a national network. so they call my name in. and i'm like all right. i walk in. the way casting works. there's somebody, and then there's the director and all the casting people. and the director was a very attractive mid 30s woman. he goes oh, my god, he's perfect. they said all right, let me say

the lines for her. they say what's the line? you open the door and you offer chicken. i go chicken? thinking what a waste of time. you guys have all made a huge error. ten minutes later, i get a call, i booked. they cancel the rest of the auditions. i show up to set. i'm like man, i'm the before guy in a tampax commercial. i get there, i swear to god i'm not kbexaggerating, she's havina creative fight with executives. it's motional, she's an artist and they're breaking their back. i'm like what's going on? she's going, he's fat and gross enough as is. we don't need to add anything. >> jimmy: what would they add? >> fat suit and pimples. and the executives are going maybe we should fatten him up. no, this is what you grow out

of. >> jimmy: really? >> so i'm just sitting there, right on, thank you for the opportunity. >> jimmy: it's not like you have the tampons in your ears. i'm just standing there trying to be a grateful actor. you know? what an amazing opportunity. >> jimmy: and you were in the commercial. i get up there, i do the spot, i ring the doorbell. i say chicken. the door closes in my face and it ran a lot and it got me out of doing day jobs. >> jimmy: wow. >> i'm the tampax pearl before guy. >> jimmy: i have never seen a man in a tampax commercial before. you're like the jackie robinson. congratulations for breaking that barrier down. >> i got to say i'm really glad you said that. that means a lot to me. >> jimmy: the show is great. you got the post super bowl slot. what could be more masculine than that? i tell you what. nothing. there you go. jake johnson, everybody.
