>> hi everyone thank you for coming. thank you for kicking off your holiday weekend with me and my television friends, you know memorial day weekend is here. a day which we remember and give thanks to those who serve this country. according to aaa, a lot of people are traveling. if you are planning to go anywhere for memorial day, you are too late. you have had to left yesterday morning. so sorry. you know the big difference between memorial day now and memorial day when i was a kid is? kids don't get stuck in the third row of the station wagon anymore because everyone has an suv now. my parents -- now they are so careful with their grand kids. for us, back then, safety was not a concern. we'd be packed, not even the seats but the back of the car where the luggage goes like chickens in a third world country. my face would be pressed against the rear window.

every inch was filled with cousins and siblings. my little brother, my parents would stuff him in the exhaust pipe all the way to disneyland. now kids are in seats. they say because gas prices are so low 37 million americans will travel this weekend. the most in ten years. it might be a good idea to stay home. if you are hosting a barbecue for memorial day and sometimes the guest will bring a single veggie patty to throw on the grill for them, it is our obligation as an american citizen to kick them out of your home. [ applause ] memorial day is the official start to summer. it used be s'mores were only something you get around the campfire.

i invented something the summer before last. instead of graham crackers i put marshmallow and hershey bar on an oreo and melted it over the fire and named them smoreos. and i was delighted with myself, as you can imagine and then someone told me they have s'mores flavored oreos. which they don't call them s'moreos which is smoronic. it is to summer what pumpkin spice is to the holidays. so many s'mores flavored foods out there. there are s'mores flavored graham crackers, s'mores goldfish from the friendly stoners of pepperidge farms. kellogg's has a s'mores flavored cereal which is not part of a balanced breakfast. ben & jerry's has an ice cream

named s'mores. frappichino, pop tarts, luna bars and now s'mores vodka. this is for real. [ cheers and applause ] for the drunk camp counselor in all of us. s'mores are everywhere, which is why we are becoming s'morebidly obese. i usually don't eat desserts with an apostrophe in them but i make an exception for s'mores. last weekend i had a crawfish broil at my house. my daughter graduated from college and wanted a crawl fish boil. i ordered live crawfish from louisiana. if you haven't seen one alive, depending on your point of view, they look like tiny lobsters or great big bugs, depending on your point of view. a lot of people at the party were scared of them. especially my aunt chippy. she hated them. after the party i sent some home with my cousin eric to put in her purse. i had a couple still alive. he didn't put them in her purse.

he put them under a plate when she was making breakfast the next morning and here's how that went. >> so we have a mickey mouse -- >> what's? here. [ screaming ] [ screaming ] >> that's disgusting, disgusting. you should burn in hell. you and jimmy. oh! >> what happened? >> good morning. >> let's go see. wanna see? >> make your own [ bleep ] eggs. >> hello, buddy.

>> i can't believe you did this. >> oh! >> here we go. [ crying ] >> get out of here. i swear to christ i'm going to kill you, eric. why would you do that to me? >> i'm a nice crab. i don't understand. [ bleep ] [ bleep ] [ cheers and applause ] >> that worked out pretty good. >> jimmy: worked out very well. kid learns new curse words he took the crawfish to the park and released them. in like a little pond. they still want to kill each other but there you go. if it was up to me i would have released them in aunt chippy's bed. so -- we have fun, i think, is the moral to that story. we have a tradition on our show.

every year we invite the winners of the north american school scrabble championship to hollywood to face off against one of the great scrabble playing talk show hosts in history -- that's me. this year the school scrabble champs are 13-year-old noah kalus from new york and zach ansell from l.a. i get to two crush two cities at once. zach and noah won their title on sunday and they made a special video for me. >> i'm zachary. >> i'm noah. we're the east west word winners. >> how do you spell kimmel? >> l-o-s-e-r. >> yeah, i believe that's right. you can't spell, jimmy. any last words, kimmel? >> jimmy: you little punks. you are dead. i will tell you now. my partner will be guillermo. did you read the scrabble dictionary like i asked you to? >> guillermo: a little bit. >> jimmy: all right.

all got along. >> jimmy: always wonder about that. because some people have to stay in character. would that mean being morose all the time and do you come out of it the minute the film is finished? >> kind of. >> jimmy: you do? >> i try to. also i have a family i want to be. no one wants someone moping around and carrying that with them the whole time. >> jimmy: tell me about it. >> right so it was a nice shoot. >> jimmy: tell us about the film itself. i want to point out it is "aloft," not a loft. >> like aloft floating in the sky. it's sort of an abstract term. it is about people trying to come to terms with the fragility of life and more specifically a family trying to repair after experiencing a tragedy that sort of changes the course of their lives forever.

>> jimmy: is this a movie your children will see? >> no. >> jimmy: they will not whereas the avengers -- >> my husband is in the new avengers movie. >> jimmy: were they excited about that. >> it is fun that we could bring our kids to a movie premiere with us. that was great. they were very excited. agnes, as i mentioned, is 3. she is in to the idea of him being a super hero but didn't understand what it was. paul was trying to indoctrinate her and she is too young to see the movie. so he showed her "avengers" cartoons and he is thinking i'm the vision. she is like that's cool but i love iron man. he is like i'm the vision. she's like i love iron man. >> jimmy: does that make him mad? i think that would annoy me somewhat.

>> he is like you know, daddy knows the iron man. so she is like can i send hail message. we have a video she recorded of her -- it's like she is his biggest fan. the video is i love you, i love you, iron man. i love you so much. and paul is going you love the vision, too. and she's like, i love you, iron man. really funny. >> jimmy: when you were a little girl you were in a movie. this is one of those movies when people got vhs players in their houses, all of a sudden everybody saw this movie. it is "labyrinth." how old are you? >> i think i was 14. >> jimmy: 14 years old. that's david bowie with you who looks like witchy poo. i don't know if you remember her. it is a real resemblance there. were you aware of who david bowie was at 14 years old? >> i was. i guess but not really. now there are a lot of -- we

listen to his music a lot now. i hasn't gotten there at that point. i think i would have been paralyzed and not been able to function. >> jimmy: it would have been like meeting iron man. >> exactly. i remember i had a friend who had david bowie posters all over her walls. then she heard i was going to be going and working with him and they came down mysteriously. and that clued me in that he was cool. >> jimmy: she was being spiteful and jealous. are you still friends? >> no. we were 13. >> jimmy: that reminds me of those scrabble kids. good to see you. jennifer connelly go see her movie "aloft." it opens in new york and l.a. today. we'll be right back with the spellbinding conusion to the scrabble challenge. so stick around.

that was the key. >> jimmy: start with the first? >> i asked him how it went. i said how did it go with jimmy kimmel, went good, went good. i said how did the mean tweets go, we did that. and then leslie says what were the mean tweets? she forced him to do the mean tweets to us. >> jimmy: okay. >> this is him doing mean tweets to me and leslie. >> jimmy: he is thinking about what they were. >> we are forcing him to perform for us. there is one crazy mary said next time you go on a golf vacation, don't come back. then i wanted to get a picture of us laughing. i know if we are laughing in the photo it looks like we are friends in a picture of us reacting. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: i don't know if it looks like you are friends. >> nobody has ever had their ass kissed harder than that right. there.

afterwards the president says, well, what have you been doing lately and he says leslie, what have you been doing and he said i'm in a movie about how to be single and in it i make out with a 25-year-old. which is a weird thing to say to the president. it is kind of an insult to me on one level. >> jimmy: two strikes is what it is. he probably loved that. >> he was very charming. we took a picture of him. look at how comfortable my wife is with the president. she leans in, not towards me, towards him. >> jimmy: what's going on here? looks like the president is comfortable also. oh, that's her dress. >> that's her dress. >> jimmy: so your next movie is "train wreck" which is starring amy schumer. i heard -- a lot of my friends saw this movie and said it was hilarious. >> she wrote and stars in it and produced it and i directed it. it came out great. >> jimmy: this is the first

movie you have directed that you haven't written true? >> which i like because if something is not funny, i can say amy, can you punch that up and i will take a nap. >> jimmy: did you do that? >> absolutely. i am like i need to write some for that joke. i will be in the trailer. >> jimmy: to promote the movie you are going on a comedy tour with great comics. who's on the tour? >> we are going out, amy, colin quinn, myself, and we will be in chicago on the 18th at the harris theater and in san francisco on the 19th at the norse. and all of the money goes to charity, which i regret now because it made a lot of money. >> jimmy: really was a mistake. well, by the way, these are some of the funniest comics you will see. if you know them or not, very funny people. good to see you. thank you for coming. judd apatow, everybody. "sick in the head" comes out on june 16th.
