tv   Jimmy Kimmel Live  ABC  January 22, 2015 11:35pm-12:38am PST

11:35 pm
>> thanks for watching. i'm amma. right now on jimmy kimmel actor edward norton ♪ dickey: from hollywood it's captions paid for by abc, inc. "jimmy kimmel live"! tonight -- oscar nominee edward norton -- the voice of the super bowl, al michaels -- this week in unnecessary censorship -- and music from the decemberists. with cleto and the cletones. and now, here's jimmy kimmel!
11:36 pm
>> jimmy: i'm glad you're here. what a weird day it was today. have you been following this story with the pate yacht and the deflated footballs? so tom brady is the quarterback for the new england patriots. he was summoned to appear before the media to answer questions about the footballs that were mysteriously deflated in their game against the colts last weekend. if you weren't aware of this story, like if you had just come back from vacation in aruba or something and didn't know what was going on, you would think tom brady had killed the president's dog. this press conference was covered live on all the sports networks, espn, espn2-7, et cetera and also live on fox news, fox business channel, cnn,
11:37 pm
msnbc, abc, a bunch of local channels. it was really crazy. they asked him what was basically the same question over and over again for 30 minutes, and he basically the same answer, over and over again for 30 minutes. >> i just wasn't obviously aware monday morning of, you know, everything that had happened. i wasn't paying attention to what was happening at that time. everyone is trying to figure out what happened. i don't know what happened. i don't know what happened. i didn't think anything of it. i'm not sure. i'm not sure. i'm not sure. i'm not sure. i'm not sure. i'm not sure. i'm not quite sure. i don't know. i don't know. you know, i wouldn't know. i had no idea. i had no idea. if i don't know something, i don't know something. >> he doesn't know anything. he doesn't know. [ cheers and applause ] that doesn't -- he doesn't even know how to spell tom. is it with an h? you know, it was originally reported that 11 of the 12 balls
11:38 pm
were underinflated, but jerry reduce tin told espn all of the balls were underinflated which was very good news for the ocd community. if the patriots are found to have underinflated the balls they might lose draft picks and the league could take away bill belichick's favorite hoodie. he also spoke to the media today. he's not a charming man. bill belichick is to charming to what nicole richie is to fat. you have to keep in mind, this is a guy who also denied videotaping a rival team's signals. and i have to say, i did not find this statement to be particularly compelling. >> when i came in monday morning, i was shocked to learn of the news reports about the footballs. i had no knowledge whatsoever of the situation. and so monday morning i learned a lot more about this process in the last three days than in the
11:39 pm
last 40 years coaching this league. >> all right. well, at least they're keeping things inflated now. make no mistake. this is a serious thing. attorney gloria allred is now representing 9 of the 11 balls tom brady allegedly squeezed. so this could cost him a pretty penny. this deflate-gate isn't the only thing in boston now. boston is the city chosen to vie for the summer olympics in 2024. mayor walsh is prohibiting city employees from making negative comments about the olympic games or the process itself. which that to me seems unnecessary. i mean, if people from boston are known for anything, it's for keeping their opinion to themselves, right? so mayor walsh said he believes in free speech, but i don't know. this doesn't seem very -- american to me. this country was founded on the right to free speech, especially boston. so tonight we gave a group of boston city employees an
11:40 pm
opportunity to tell the mayor what they think unanimously. >> our mayor is trying to stop the people from boston from voicing our opinions about the olympics. >> we will not be silenced. >> the olympics would cause traffic gridlock and completely overtake our lives. >> they're also wicked [ bleep ] boring! >> a bunch of bozos trying to throw a long stick, are you [ bleep ] kidding me! >> sports matter. basketball, baseball and hockey. go sox! >> swimming in circles is not a sport! >> go swim at the [ bleep ] cape if you like swimming so much. get bit by a shark, see what i care. >> olympics. oh, i'm an olympian. [ bleep ] you! >> stupid! >> our mayor is a chowder head. >> go sox! >> go sox. >> yankees suck, yankees suck! and [ bleep ] seahawks! >> we good here, guys?
11:41 pm
[ laughter ] >> jimmy: it's weird. that last guy looked a little bit like you, dickey. do you have any relatives back in boston? >> a few. >> jimmy: there's an important documentary airing on tlc i want to mention. it's called "my husband is not gay." it's about women whose husbands aren't gay. wouldn't that be most women, by the way? so the special followed for four mormon men from salt lake city who claim to have certain feelings that one of the men, jeff, and his wife tanya explain here. >> my name is jeff. >> and i'm tanya. >> we've been married about nine years. we've got one delightful son. and i guess one of the most unique things about our relationship is i experience ssa or same sex attraction. >> not gay. ssa. >> right. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: ssa. as in ss, hey, look at this guy
11:42 pm
i'm about to have sex with, honey! [ laughter ] they also followed one of jeff's friends around. his name is tom. and tom, as you'll see here, doesn't consider himself to be gay for social reasons. >> i don't feel like i fit the mold of guys that are attracted to other men. other than my deep and abiding love for broadway show tunes. and the attraction to males. those are the two things that -- [ laughter ] are kind of gay about me. >> jimmy: you know, those are two of the main things. [ laughter ] other than liking musicals and dudes, i'm as straight as they get. [ laughter ] this show should be called my husband doesn't know what the word gay means. you know, good -- good lyrics are very difficult to write, and that's why i appreciate tonight's band, the decemberists, on the show. they write interesting, very intelligent songs about uncommon subjects. it's not the usual i want to get busy with your bottom kind of thing. and that's why i'm so excited they have agreed to be here tonight to premier their latest

ferociously talented actor who got an oscar nomination for his very first movie role. last week, he picked up his third for the movie "birdman", which is in theaters now. please welcome edward norton. [ cheers and applause ] ♪ nice to see you. you're from boston, originally, correct? >> born. >> jimmy: born in boston. >> born in boston, raised in baltimore. which is like -- it's all the same level of rude, but with a slightly weirder accent. >> jimmy: so are you a patriots fan? are you a ravens fan? >> i grew up a redskins fan. joe theismann and john reagan. >> jimmy: oh, yeah. those were great teams. >> but then an orioles fan. >> jimmy: do you have an opinion on balls? [ laughter ] >> i get more and more interested in this deflated ones.
11:56 pm
[ laughter ] no -- >> jimmy: as you get older? [ laughter ] >> as i get older. i wonder if they're going to talk about the balls hanging too low in the next game. no. >> jimmy: i wonder sometimes if the story would even be as big a deal if the word balls wasn't involved. >> some of it i don't get, because they're all playing with the same balls, to use the phrase. >> jimmy: not really, though. because the offensive team will -- they get -- they bring a dozen balls, and they play with the balls -- this sounds ridiculous. [ laughter ] i'm trying not to be 8 years old. but they play with their own balls, is what i'm trying to say. >> the more you talk about this, the more ssa. >> jimmy: yeah, that's right. [ laughter ] that's a real thing, by the way. let's not make light of that. that's a real condition. that one man is suffering from. [ laughter ] >> i don't know. i don't know. you look very trim. you look very -- >> jimmy: well, you look pretty darn good yourself. and i am attracted to oscar nominees. >> and i had a new father.
11:57 pm
>> jimmy: yeah, sure. >> you're supposed to go the -- you've gotten skinnier since you had a kid. >> well, the baby didn't come out of me. [ laughter ] you know, i let my wife do it this time. and actually, the baby did come out of me, but -- [ laughter ] >> jimmy: first. and then, we had -- you know. >> i see. >> jimmy: a weigh station. >> i thought you were going to say you were a sea horse or something. >> jimmy: you know what, i would like to own a sea horse and i've looked into ownership of a sea horse, and i'm not a big animals guy, but a sea horse -- it's weird you bring that up, because i have a dvd of sea horses that i'll just run in my house. i don't know. maybe i'm revealing too much. >> gets boring. >> jimmy: they're very hard to keep alive. but the crazy thing about sea horses, as you know is they look like horses. >> swimming. >> jimmy: and it's weird, because they look exactly like horses but they're underwater. how do they even know about horses?
11:58 pm
[ laughter ] anyway, congratulations. on your -- [ laughter ] -- fabian oscar nomination. >> thank you. >> jimmy: you're in two movies nominated for best picture. "bird man" and "grand budapest hotel." both of which i loved, by the way. they were both great movies. [ cheers and applause ] >> they were. and these nominations -- it's better than a punch in the face, but i have to say, the -- none of it is more fun than making movies like that. i think, you know -- wes anderson is like one of the great -- >> jimmy: fantastic. >> of my generation. and he's a fun, fun person to work with. >> jimmy: is he? >> oh, yeah. >> jimmy: it seems from how colorful the movies are, he must be fun. but you never know, i guess. >> and alejandro i will writ due is also this exuberant, enormous
11:59 pm
character. and making -- making "birdman" was unlike any film experience i've had. and so it's weird. you do these things -- there is this enormous joy in making them and satisfaction. and we're now two years later. >> jimmy: right. >> so there is a certain surreal quality to these things being celebrated. >> jimmy: yeah, it's like getting grades on a test you took as a sophomore and now you're about to graduate. >> or you're named homecoming king in your junior year in college. >> jimmy: that's a better analogy. which movie will you root for, for best picture? >> i -- you know, i -- it's all -- >> jimmy: deep down, you go with the one you're in more, right? is that how it goes? >> how many lines did i have -- no. actually, this year, there are more of my friends and long-time colleagues in the mix for this whole thing than i can ever remember, and it's really fun. >> jimmy: is that a good thing? >> yeah, bennett miller is
12:00 am
nominated for his -- old friend of mine. mark ruffalo and ethan hawke literally came up in the business with him together in new york. and they've done the best work of their career. so completely inspired by both of them. and then -- and that's -- there is something gratifying in that to me. much more than sort of the silliness of, like, who gets these things. i love seeing paul tom sanderson's film is incredible. wes' film is incredible. >> jimmy: very socialist attitude you have towards this thing. i mean, listen. you have to have the eye of the tiger when you go in there. yeah, you really do. you have to not just win. >> daniel day lewis and meryl streep are just competitive? >> jimmy: absolutely. and you have to end the careers of all your friends when you get in that room. >> say i'm going to end you tonight? >> jimmy: that's right. hulk versus hulk. that could be something. [ cheers and applause ] i mean, listen -- >> you mean, he's got to get a few more lines.
12:01 am
>> jimmy: where did your interest in making movies come from? >> i can't -- you know, i -- i think it -- it started with theater. i loved going to the theater with my parents. but then really just -- you know, sunday afternoon movies with my dad, watching "the great escape" and reruns on sundays. and it hooked me very early. i was very, very captivated by films. and then, you know, my friends and i used to take -- you remember the video cameras you had put an entire vhs tape into. and we would make little films just using the pause button as our cut, you know what i mean? so you got one shot at it, and then pause and then change the ang angle. and we would make kung-fu films and things. >> jimmy: really? >> yeah. >> jimmy: oh, that's fine. did you title them? do you remember any of the titles? >> i don't -- no. i don't remember the titles.
12:02 am
we would do a whole one in a day, you know what i mean? but i still -- talking about ocd. i do -- i remember lines -- if a line is very memorable from anything i've worked on, i will f fixate on it, and i remember with my friend dan silver. what we would do is have the person on camera moving their mouth and the person off camera saying the lines so it looked like kung-fu. [ laughter ] and i remember being on camera and my friend dan off camera saying once between us there was peace. now there can be only bloodshed. [ laughter ] [ applause ] and i think it's a great line. >> jimmy: it's a nice line. >> it's a great line. >> jimmy: maybe we'll come back -- we'll practice during the commercial and you can say it and i'll move my mouth. just like the old time. just like dan silver was here. >> you look like him. >> jimmy: edward norton is here.

>> we got it 14 times in ten minutes. >> jimmy: you're right. but nobody is betting on us, i don't think. so you believe tom brady and bill belichick when they say they didn't know anything about it? >> belichick i thought was very credible today. tom worked the edges. players in this situation, they do. i mean, today was a day of obfuscation. how about two guys zona talk about obfuscation. troy aikman basically said brady is guilty. he had to know. i don't know. i thought it was interesting when the brethren go, wait a second, you had to know. >> jimmy: yeah, well, they know, i guess. >> one of the more interesting things was, when this was apparently discovered by the colts, after an intercepted pass, think of it in these terms. if the ball is deflated so tom can throw the ball better and
12:23 am
then a pass is intercepted with a deflated ball? maybe go to the overinflated ball. maybe that's the answer. this thing is just insane. >> jimmy: it's also possible tom brady is protecting some ball boy or some equipment manager, yes? >> but that's dangerous, because some kid will go, hey, here's $20,000, come talk to us and give us the truth. i have no idea what happened with this thing. think about this. this is going to be a great game. and the game is a week from sunday. i guess it will die down by then. >> jimmy: it probably will. >> but it's insane right now. >> jimmy: yeah, i know. because you know why? there is nothing else to talk about. >> i'll tell you what it is. football has now become a complete national obsession. it's -- i mean, think about this. they only play it 16 weekends a year, and then come the playoffs. but it is talked about every day. fantasy football has become gigantic. you know this better than anybody. >> yes, yes, yes. >> football is a national obsession. >> jimmy: is really is. and it's partially your fault. >> it's my fault. i take the blame.

12:28 am
start the tape. but rumor was always worried there would be an issue, so the former canadian goalie, we're doing sweden-finland the next two-and-a-ha two-and-a-half hours. we're doing the entire sweden-finiland game. i was ultimately exhausted and exhilarating walking back to the hotel that night. >> you call the games, you have to be somewhat impartial. impartialality is kind of the nature of it. but was there -- was there any time more than the u.s.-russian game -- was that the most authentically excited you ever got. was there any game you lost your impartiality? >> it's the one them -- the super bowl, whatever, if people are thinking you're rooting one way or another, i'm not. i'm rooting for high drama. that's the one game, 99.9% of
12:29 am
your audience was going with you. so when i said that, it was the emotion and the 9-year-old boy in me coming out. it's the one time i could do it. so there is no other chance to do that. the 1% -- >> any time an event in sports overtook you, it was so exciting, you couldn't be -- >> well, that came close. but i've learned, the hotter it gets, the cooler you have to stay. because if you try to top the game -- >> you sound like a south american, goal! >> jimmy: yeah, right. and when you say the hotter it gets, the cooler you have to stay. you mean that sexually as well? [ laughter ] >> well, we've been married 40 years here. >> i'll ask her. the book is called "you can't make this up." you should buy it!
