our abc7 news app. >> catch up with us there and catch our next newscast at 4:theater -- at >> announcer: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live"! tonight matthew mcconaughey, from "nebraska" oscar nominee june squibb, and music from switchfoot with cleto and the cletones. and now, not only that, here's jimmy kimmel! [ applause ] >> hi, everybody.

anybody here play the powerball? you buy powerball tickets? nothing to be proud of. they had the lottery drawing tonight. the jackpot was estimated at around $400 million. which would make it the fourth biggest in powerball history. did you know that by law all powerballotry winners are required to buy a jet ski? in florida i think they make you buy ten of them. but last year, an 84 woman won $590 million. and she blew it all on butter scotch candies and dolphin figuri figurines. do you remember that time you told me if you won the lottery, the powerball, you wouldn't quit the show and you would stay and then you took a lie detector test. it turned out you were lying? >> guillermo: yeah, i can't remember. >> jimmy: i remember that, too.

>> did you buy a ticket. >> guillermo: i did. $10. >> jimmy: still trying to sneak out on us. >> guillermo: i won't leave. >> jimmy: not according to the polygraph. they finished the bobsled, the skeleton and the luge and tonight they won the men and women's empty pizza box. the u.s. now leads the total medal count with 23. russia and the netherlands have 22 a piece. it's kind of important because the country with the most medal at the end of the olympics gets the best parking spot at the united nations for the next two years. there's a big controversy. i don't know if you heard about this. some bad blood in the world of olympic ice dancing right now. the canadian team scott moir and tes is a v tessa virtue won silver, but they're upset because their russian coach also coaches the american team that won the gold medal. so the top two teams have the same coach. how is that possible?

how do you even give like a pep talk. okay, guys, this is it. this is everything we've been working for. tonight is your night. or your night. you know what i'm saying? they had a press conference -- thank you. the canadians blasted their coach. they say she gave the american team preferential treatment. they say they complained about this several times but to no avail. i don't know much about ice dancing so this might sound like a crazy suggestion, but maybe get a different coach. or does that break some ice dancing code of honor? i didn't even know what it was called. it was technically called ice dancing. i turned it on and i assumed it was come mom blouses and horrible pants competition. can you imagine if they shared a coach in any other sport? like if bill belichick coached the patriots and the giants. i think that would result in a somewhat unruly press

conference, too. i get that they're frustrated. but it must be tough to be in that spot. but how -- don't they know that first is the worst, second is the best and third is the one with the hairy chest? let's get that inscribed on a flag and send it to them. earlier today, pope francis, you know the pope, he was outside the vatican giving his weekly general audience. it was a little bit windy outside. there he is, trying to read. and has yamika flies off. not only that -- i guess they call that his mantle kept blowing in his face. he stays pretty calm throughout the whole thing. but that's -- you know what that is? that's god playing him off the stage. time to wrap it up francis.

we have a lineup of guests tonight. not one, but two academy award nominees tonight. matthew mcconaughey and june squ squibb. matthew mcconaughey is such a dedicated actor. since this monologue started, he's lost 35 pounds. he's backstage planning to lose another 40 before he comes out here. june squibb, it's her first nomination at 84. she's great in that movie. they do an interest thing. each of the nominees makes a video for the academy voters. something that -- i think they started about five years ago. and it's not a solicitation for votes. just something that, i guess, reminds the members of the academy of who you are and tells them you're happy to be a part of the whole thing. >> meet the nominees. june squibb. >> i am so thrilled to be among the nominees for best actress in

a supporting role. jennifer lawrence, ally hawkins, lupita nyongo and julia roberts are so beautiful and talented. i wouldn't be angry if you voted for any one of them. disappointed, yes, but not angry. why get angry? i'm 84 years old. who knows how many movies i have left in me. but don't worry about me. honey, ei'll be fine. you know what? you should pick one of them because they're so young and pretty. young, pretty people. so what if this is my one last shot at happiness. i'll be just fine. probably. >> this has been meet the

nominees. >> there are nine movies nominated for best picture at the academy awards. not everyone will have time to see them all. of course, the oscars are more fun if you have a movie to root for. we decided to provide a service. bring yaya in here, will you? oh, hay, yaya. yaya is a guy who for the most part waits outside restaurants waiting to take pictures with celebrities, right, yaya? >> right, jimmy. >> jimmy: i was driving home from dinner on saturday night and i saw yaya as i was driving and i pulled over. >> no, you [ bleep ]. >> jimmy: yeah, that thing that we do. who were you waiting -- who were you waiting for at the restaurant? >> one guy black music with one

dallas club, okay? it's good movie. matthew mcconaughey, he's a strong guy and he's good actor. the doctor tells him they have aids. you sleep with anyone, you tell them you stupid, you crazy? i don't do that. and he lose weight for the movie. and he's good actor. you know? i don't know how he lose weight, this guy. he's very strong. you know? i can only lose like maybe five, ten pound. he lose like almost 40 pound, this guy. he's very strong. and i got picture with him. i shot the picture. and the movie play right now in theatre. go watch it. it's good movie. it's behind me. the guy who lose weight and he's good actor and good star. and the movie very good. believe me. okay?

>> jimmy: welcome back to the show. i want to give you an update on a project that i've been working on. you know these looms the kids are up obsessed with? they're a little like plastic peg boards. and the kids put colored rubber bands on them and make bracelets and necklaces. i've been asking parents to have their kids make something and send it to me here in hollywood. my plan is to weave all of these little objects together and make a loom suit and then i will wear it here on the show. so we've received thousands of -- we have a whole department of people opening envelopes with loom jewelry in them from kids all around the country. one little girl named skylar she actually takes a class -- a place called the learning express, specifically learning how to loom. apparently her mom saw me talking about this on the show. she got all the kids in the

class together and they made this video. >> what! >> what? >> no! >> all right, children. there will be no lunch, no recess until we finish this suit for jimmy kimmel. >> who's jimmy kimble? >> i don't know. i think he's on one of my cartoon shows. >> hey, jimmy, we got your tie done, but it's going to take four days of solid labor for these kids to finish your entire suit. but i promise you, these kids from pittsburgh will get it done. >> good, thank you, linda, s skylar and everyone from the learning express for violating all known child labor laws so i can own the world's only suit of the loom. we're almost done with it.

to write a science fiction novel, they would write about a once respected athlete who's slowly mutate into an alien grandma, right? according to the publisher, the novel presents a thrillingdis tau -- dystopian world with two girls who don't realize the biggest danger might be each other. i will bet all the pizza in the world they don't know what dystopian means. do you remember the guy yaya who was here eight minutes ago? come back out here, yaya. get him back. if you're at home just tuning in. yaya did a beautiful job of summarizing one of this year's oscar nominees for best picture

there's a lot of laughter. >> jimmy: where did you meet? >> i thought we met on ed tv. but he said we met two years earlier at a lunch party at noon and he said you don't remember this. he said i came up, nice to meet you. let's have a tequila shot. you said no, i have work to do in the afternoon. and then i said what happened? eh said you had a tequila shot. apparently i had quite a few because i still don't remember. >> jimmy: sometimes you like to stay in character. do you hang around when you're working together? >> we both got families but on this show we hung out. we've always huge out off the set and in between. we play sports together. i mean, he plays a lot of barefoot soccer. we'll play a lot of ping-pong. he's a really fun ping-pong player. >> jimmy: are you a good ping-pong player. >> i'm pretty good. he's really good. >> jimmy: he's very competitive. >> we've had a match one day at a house, i was renting on

mulholland. and we had 48 hours with nothing to do. no commitments. woody and i together 9:00 a.m. with 48 hours of free time. we start playing ping-pong. and all of a sudden he hits a great shot. down the corner, it's bouncing under the lawnmower in the garage. i keep it moving and pop it back up across the garage. he runs over, knocks over a bunch of [ bleep ] keeps it moving. about two hours later, the game had turned into do not let the ball stop. so we're dripping in sweat, i've got blood on me. he's hit this thing, broken glass all over the place. but you can't let the ball stop. >> jimmy: i'm surprised you ever let the ball stop. the first movie you worked on together was ed tv. >> yeah. >> jimmy: and ron howard was the director of that film. and that's the first time you worked together at all. >> i was in san francisco. i had already been there for about a week.

>> jimmy: as director of the movie, did ron go for that? >> i think woody got ahead with the bike show, maybe a couple of head hands and one of the shoes. >> jimmy: some of the best parts of the show is when you're just driving around. >> i think it's hilarious. you think it's funny, too? i do. >> jimmy: it's intense, but also -- yeah, there are definitely moments of comedy there. but who decided that -- i think you got to drive once so far this season. but woody gets to be the driver all the time. >> all right. he's sethe detective. it's his area, his county, his car. but that's the only time it's good for woody to drive. and even then it's not that safe for woody to drive. even if you're hooked up to the damn picture truck. >> jimmy: he's a bad driver in -- >> he's a horrible driver. >> jimmy: oh, really. you know the guy. they give the driver side, they give themselves about eight feet. and you're over there just cliff hanging off the side. and they're just going on thinking they're right in the

middle. he thinks stop signs are sort of anti-establishment. stop signs really should only be there if a car is coming. but other than that, don't tell me what to do. >> jimmy: i do the same thing. i consider them suggestions. >> sense of direction. it doesn't matter if you're going three blocks. >> jimmy: the spirit of the law is what i told my wife. >> you and woody, you should go drive together. >> jimmy: do you still have a bunch of airstream trailers? >> three of them. >> jimmy: do you take trips in those things? >> yeah. >> jimmy: how old are the kids now? >> 5, 4 and 1. >> jimmy: do they love doing that? >> yeah. >> jimmy: i would love that, too. >> you should do it. >> jimmy: i can come with you and the kids? >> yeah. >> jimmy: i don't know. >> we'll drop you off in destin, florida. i have ideas that sound fun but
