under way. thanks for watching. >> have a terrific weekend everyone. >> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live"! tonight, ricky gervais -- from "dancing with the stars," nene leakes -- and music from kongos -- with cleto and the cletones! and now, not a moment too soon, here's jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: welcome. i'm jimmy, i'm the host of the show. thank you for coming.

very nice, i appreciate that. today happens to be my wife molly's birthday, which is exciting, because -- [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: especially exciting to me, only one more year and she can drink legally. she's 36 today. and of course, she got a lot of facebook messages wishing her a happy birthday. and one of the messages she got on facebook this morning was from my aunt fran, my cousin sal's mother. you know everyone has that relative, usually an aunt that posts immediately and incessantly 1,000 times a day on facebook. she's posting and liking so much you can't even figure out how she does it? it's like she -- it's as if she's hired a team to work around the clock helping her weigh in on everything. well, in our family that person is my aunt fran. she's so involved with every tiny little thing. she posts so many pictures and videos, if you only knew her on facebook, you would assume she was a meth head. but she's not. she's my aunt.

she once made me an owl out of macrame and it hung on my wall for many years in my bedroom. today my aunt fran sent my wife a message and said happy birthday, molly. in this crazy world out there, so glad my nephew found you. very sweet, right? and she linked that to a music video for a song called "molly" which was also very sweet. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] with that said, this is the song she dedicated to my wife on her birthday. ♪ do you know where i can find molly ♪ ♪ she makes me want to dance ♪ dance, dance ♪ dance, dance ♪ dance, dance ♪ dance, dance ♪ dance, dance ♪ please help me find molly >> jimmy: yeah. so there you go. [ cheers and applause ]

semipornographic lesbian techno video about molly, the dangerous synthetic amphetamine. so happy birthday, molly. good golly, that would have been a good one, right? thanks to my aunt fran who has no doubt posted a video of me saying this already on her facebook page. tonight on the show, a band from south africa. kongos is here. [ cheers and applause ] also tonight, the new season of "dancing with the stars" a real housewife of atlanta, nene leakes is with us tonight. [ cheers and applause ] and the very funny ricky gervais is with us. [ cheers and applause ] i love him, but a grown man named ricky, i don't know about that. adult men should have adult names, right, dickey? >> dickey: that's right, jimmy. >> jimmy: you all seem to be in a good mood, which makes sense,

considering the fact that we were almost obliterated by a giant asteroid today. according to nasa, a 100-foot-wide asteroid came within 216,000 miles of earth at around 4:00 eastern time. the asteroid actually got closer to the earth than the moon. then the moon got all jealous and went through the earth's text messages. it seems far away. 216,000 miles. actually closer than john travolta got to pronouncing idina menzel's name right. [ cheers and applause ] thank you. they say that if an asteroid that size were to hit the earth, the energy from the impact would be greater than that of a nuclear weapon. but don't worry. we're really not in any danger until aerosmith writes a song about it. but it was a close call for some of you in our studio audience waiting outside tonight. this asteroid just came through and wow. you're so lucky it just crazed the top of your heads and that it was made out of foam rubber.

$44 million was the budget on that. [ applause ] [ cheers and applause ] now you're patronizing me. you know, whenever an asteroid passes by earth, i like to curl my body up in a funny pose for archaeologists to dig up 10,000 years from now. today i was like this. i'm sure by now whether you're dating or not, you know about tinder and grinder. these are apps that help single people find other single people to do a little something i call "it." they're very popular. and now there's a new app called, and i'm not sure how to pronounce it because i read about it, but it's spelled 3nder. whatever it's called, it helps people coordinate threesomes. finally. you don't want to deal with all that red tape. [ cheers and applause ]

how does that work? you got a match and a match? and what's next? an app for people who want foursomes? this to me, i don't know, it sounds like a great way to find someone to steal all your valuables in the middle of the night. but personally, i prefer to arrange my threesomes the old-fashioned way, in my signup booth every sunday morning at the farmer's market down at hollywood and vine. the city council of washington, d.c. yesterday voted with an overwhelming majority, only one person voted against it to decriminalize the possession of small amounts of marijuana. it used to be if you were caught with a joint in washington, d.c., you would get six months in jail, but if this gets signed into law, anyone charged with having an ounce of marijuana or less will be subject to a $25 fine. which is not -- it's not bad. [ applause ] come here.

i want to show you who started that applause. our stage manager alex. [ cheers and applause ] in case we miss any cues tonight, you know why. thank you, alec. >> jimmy: public opinion on marijuana seems to be changes. the first ever med ral marijuana tv commercial started airing in new jersey this week. they did a lot of research. they found that sometimes marijuana users like to watch tv. so they put the ads there. the ad is for a website called marijuanadoctors.com. what they do is hook marijuana prescribing doctors up with patients in states where it's legal. they connect them like grinder or tinder for pot users. it's stoner is what it is. guillermo, trademark that right away. never mind. this is the commercial they made to promote it.

>> yo, you want sushi? i got sushi. i got the best sushi. i got the finest sashimi you've seen in years. >> you wouldn't buy your sushi from this guy. why would you buy your marijuana from him? >> jimmy: i don't know. [ cheers and applause ] truth be told, if a person was high enough, he probably would have no problem eating sushi from that guy. coat sushi? awesome. coat sushi is a lot safer than pants sushi, i will tell you that. today is ash wednesday. otherwise known as hey, you have something on your forehead day. it's the beginning of lent. during lent, christians are encouraged to give up something we like for 40 days to prove that god doesn't want us to be happy and everything we love is a sin. but last night was mardi gras, which is the last day of the 2-month-long strungen street festival in louisiana. i told you about this last night. there's a doctor in baton rouge

who's been warning people to be careful handling the beads that are thrown at mardi gras. they can be covered in all kinds of bacteria and disease. when women are flashing with beads, their hands are preoccupied with their shirts. the beads end up on the street and you pick them up, get them in your mouth and your eyes and then you die. so fortunately there's a new product on the market that hopelly will make next year's mardi gras a far more sanitary affair. >> catching mardi gras beads can be a real headache until now. introducing boob hands. the revolutionary bead-catching system that allows you to pull out that shirt while boob hands does the work. never let mardi gras beads slip through your fingers again. thanks to its patented design it can support up to 1,400 pounds of beads while maintaining comfort and a sexy shape. boob hands. $19.99 plus shipping and handling. catching beads made bead easy. also great for baguettes.

work after your "the office" and then -- >> now people think i ripped off steve carrell. >> jimmy: do you ever run into that situation? >> yeah, it's fine. i do get the check. >> you've been playing big shows, big sellout shows. >> yeah. most people's favorite episode of "the office" the original office, that little english one that i did years ago, before steve carrell made it famous was episode four where brent got his guitar out. and, you know, there's a guy going through a bit of a mid life crisis. and i wrote a few songs, you know, and now i've written a few more and we've taken them out on the road. i'm a fan of pop star myself. it's a comedy, not a rock show. but it's still nice having a band behind you playing songs. >> jimmy: what's more fun than that? >> you know, we're big kids and we wish we were rock stars. so yeah. >> jimmy: all the comedians want to sing and all the singers want to be comedians. >> yeah, it's all mixed up. >> jimmy: you really were in a pop group. what year was this? i assume this was the '80s. >> it's 30 years ago. and i've got the same [ bleep ] hair cut. >> jimmy: when something works. >> what you're thinking is what happened? aren't you? >> jimmy: no, i'm thinking you were a very handsome devil when you were gay. i don't know. what kind of band was this? as if i have to guess.

>> people think i'm embarrassed of how i looked then. no, that just reminds me of how i look now. >> jimmy: you were talking about twitter. you said something on your twitter account that i thought was a great, i don't know -- i guess a metaphor. do you remember this? about the cats. >> twitter is like having a laser pointeder, a big white wall and 5 million cats. they go for anything. it's quite funny. it's like a social experiment for me. but it's also quite worthwhile because you try stuff out. also as an observational comedian, you have to be aware of what's happening. and i used to have to go out and meet these maniacs. now i can meet these people in institutions from the safety of my hampton mansion.

opportunity to see them dance. i've seen them walk. >> jimmy: billy dean williams. how is he going to do? >> i think he'll do okay. i think he'll win a lot of ladies votes. he's a smooth operator. >> jimmy: he's lando also. he's going to get a lot of nerd votes. drew carey. >> he's super funny. he's lost a lot of weight. he has personality also. i've got to compete with him. >> jimmy: he's gong to be a problem for you. what about these guys? oh, wait a minute. i meant to say the olympic ice dancers. do you think it's fair that olympic ice dancers, gold medal winning olympic ice dancers are allowed to be a part of the dancing competition. >> to me it's not really fair because they're professionals. they just won the olympics. they're skinny, they're young.

you know, i think, no. but you know what i did see, i don't think they have soul. >> jimmy: i think you're right. they know how to do everything on skates. but you've got to do this in heels. >> jimmy: i don't even think they have souls. now this is a tough competitor. she swam around the world and strangled a shark to death. >> i think she's a great competitor. i think all of these people who are athletes, they have the endurance and stuff. so it's not fair. >> jimmy: what about her. she was whinnie on the "wonder years." >> she's cute. i think the guys will like her because she's cute. >> jimmy: here's another cute tee, sean avery. >> people like him. they like his butt a lot. but can he shake his butt, though? >> jimmy: i don't know.

>> i don't want you to start betting on the athletes. the only thing the athletes have is muscles and endurance. they're very stiff. >> jimmy: what about coordination? >> maybe a little bit, yeah. a lot of them have a lot of footwork, but they're really stiff. >> jimmy: not all of them. emmitt smith won. there have been a few athletes. >> the hockey, and the skating people. >> jimmy: what about this guy from big time rush? james maslow. >> he's cute. >> jimmy: another ghie. cody simpson. >> he's young. >> jimmy: what about this guy? >> he's cute. are you a fan of his. >> yeah. is he on the show? >> jimmy: he's a producer on our show. candace cameron from "full house." >> i think she's do okay. >> jimmy: and this is the real wild card here. a paralympic snowboarder. she's going to be dancing with artificial legs. how do the judges give her

anything less than a 10? >> i don't know. i don't know how she's going to do it. >> jimmy: you're going to have to take her out. you're going to have to do something. maybe even -- >> she's an athlete as well. >> jimmy: you're going to have to fake some kind of debilitating injury of your own. >> i won't do anything like that. >> jimmy: then i won't bet on you. >> i'm begging for your vote. listen, i am going to bring it, okay? i am going to bring it. >> jimmy: okay. oh, that looks good. that does look good. if you bring it then you'll be set. good luck. we will be watching you.

that's some diamond you have there. >> i'm very married. >> jimmy: when you get married twice to the same guy you get a doubly sized diamond? >> yes, you do. >> jimmy: nene leakes, everybody. here on abc. we'll be right back with kongos. >> the jimmy kimmel live concert series is presented by at&t. rethink possible.
