all right, that is the report, we appreciate your time as always. all of us, thanks for joining us, jimmy kimmel live is next. we will see you tomorrow. >> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live"! tonight, allison janney, paul dano, the national spelling bee champs and music from hiatus kiote. with cleto and the cletones. and once again here's jimmy kimmel! ♪ [ cheers and applause ] ♪

>> jimmy: welcome. i'm jimmy, the host of the show. thank you for watching. thank you for coming. i'm glad you're here. [ cheers and applause ] how many of you in our studio audience are visiting out of town, from other places tonight? [ cheers and applause ] the weather has been great here. what a day. we're all going to die because we have no water but while we're dying we're going to have a lot of picnics. we really are. hard to believe a lot of places were on flood watch today which is crazy for us. yesterday, new jersey got four inches of rain. in newark there were fish in the streets. see these workers -- i don't know what department it is but they're trying to wrangle the fish and put them back in the pond. some came out to try to catch them to eat them. there's one. the lady got a delicious carp in a bucket. this guy is trying to get one

with an umbrella. i believe that's a new tlc show called brella-fishing. new york city officials had to warn people not to eat fish they found the streets. sounds like governor christie wants the seafood buffet to himself. [ cheers and applause ] think of that. if you have to be reminded not to eat fish that washed up on the street in newark, i think we will be okay without you. i really do. this is disturbing. the tsa just released the findings of an investigation they did at a number of american airports including newark. they had agents try to smuggle weapons and fake explosives through security through the tsa and they were able to get through undetected 95% of the time. they did 70 tests. the tsa failed 67 of those tests. the secretary of homeland

security said the numbers this these reports never look good out of context. they don't look good in context either them tsa failed to detect 95% of the fake guns and explosion employeesives. but they successfully detected 100% of the dasani water bottles i tried to get through. the new director is asking anyone who maybe carrying a weapon, hide it in your shoe where they can find it. they need to get those numbers up. assume by now you have seen the "vanity fair" cover photo of caitlin jenner. [ cheers and applause ] so, caitlyn jenner, of course, used to be bruce jenner but now is caitlyn jenner, which is confusing because we have known bruce jenner since 1976 olympics and it's hard to burn a new name and gender in to your brain and especially hard to keep track of for the abc promo department.

the same people that put together the promos for the diane sawyer interview also make the promos for "the bachelorette." this caitlin thing is making it confusing. >> i believe in love at first sight and think it may have happened tonight when i found caitlyn. . >> oh my god! >> we know kaitlyn is funny an wants to have a good time. ♪ she's a lady >> she has a super smart humor which i love and a big turn on to me. >> girl, you have to rock it. >> caitlin, would you please accept this rose? >> hm. [ cheers and applause ] >> meanwhile -- donald trump this morning posted some enticing video to his instagram account. look at this. >> june 16th at trump tower, 11:00 major announcement. let's see what happens. >> the announcement was there is

going to be an announcement. we will see what happens. some people think that trump might be announcing another run for president. i don't know if he technically ever ran for president but i think it would be even more fun if he's planning to announce this -- wouldn't that be something? [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: that's how you get hillary clinton a run for her money, right? "50 shades of grey" book on the way. e.l. james is the author. the author is releasing a new version of the enormously popular best seller that tells the story from the point of view of christian grey, the guy in the book. it's called "i can't believe she hasn't called the cops on me yet." it's called "grey," due out june 18th in time for father's day. that way dad can come up with new ways to use those ties we give him every year. 50 shades trilogy sold 25

125 million keps copies. and the movie. and the new book is number one on amazon and barnes & noble.com even though it hasn't been printed yet. i have to tell you something. if the people that are excited about these books ever find out about internet porn? they are going to lose their minds, they really are. [ cheers and applause ] i assume you remember steven seagal, the action movie hero. he spends a lot of time in russia -- they don't know why. whatever reason he is friendly with vladimir putin, the leader of russia. he disappeared in a martial arts tournament. he did a demonstration and what a demonstration it is. take a look. there's steven. got his thing on, got the suit on. you can see he's got a lot of enthusiasm. it is nothing short of impressive.

he's fighting while he's sleep walking at the same time. he's got his -- you get the idea -- watch this, two guys at once. these guys know better than to beat up on vladimir putin's friends. he's like the world ease laziest ninja. [ cheers and applause ] i'd like to see him in a fight, wwe. it is time for something i happen to look forward to all year. we have a tradition on this show that dates back to the 1800s, i think. every year we invite the kids who win the scripps national spelling bee to the show. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: hold on. we don't invite them to congratulate them. we invite them to be shellacked by me and that is shellacked with two "l"s by the way. the second year in a row it ended in a tie. which means i have two little spirits to crush. there they are. the

[ champions. the pro champions. [ cheers and applause ] they won the competition by spelling each other's names correctly. winning the spelling bee is a big deal. a trophy, $35,000 and you get to hear your name mispronounced by every newscaster in america. >> vania shivashankar -- >> voka vin katalmakan -- >> vinku ruchlt and vania shiva kanyakar -- >> vokavinkatalam --

>> vania won alongside 14-year-old -- here we go. >> jimmy: okay. [ cheers and applause ] i, by the way, won the spelling bee in my school when i was in the 7th and 8th grade. i believe we have a photo there. i'm accepting -- didn't even get a trophy. didn't get a cup. i got a ribbon. i also won best home perm that year. for our interviewers, i should explain, spelling is something people used to do before the invention of text messages. let's bring them out. [ cheers and applause ] how are you? nice to meet you. congratulations. by the way, for the record, will you help me out with your names.

please say your last name. >> shivashanker. >> jimmy: you make it seem so easy, you really do. do you laugh when you hear the newspeople saying your names wrong? >> yeah. >> jimmy: must be hilarious. congratulations by the way. ow did you end up tying? >> there's a 25-word list. when it comes down to three and the first round the third person missed. we went back and forth until there were three words left. and then they have to declare a co-champion. >> how can they run out of words? aren't there a lot of words they could have thrown in until eventually one person -- i guess you guys don't care because you're both winners now. very good. we're going to have a little spelling bee. i think we should take a break. we have a special guy who pronounces the words -- what do you call the guy who pronounces the words? >> the pronouncer. >> jimmy: the pronouncer, yeah. our pronouncer also happens to be our parking lot security guard. so we're going to take a break. when we come back it's our 12th

annual show spelling bee.

[ cheers and applause ] >> pretty exciting. >> jimmy: did you feel at all bad about it? >> there is a certain amount of guilt. >> jimmy: yeah, right. >> i do feel bad.

and i feel good. i feel a lot of the things. i was really glad that you read my name. >> jimmy: you know what, you didn't even win that emmy. i just gave it to you because i like you. >> stick together. >> jimmy: if you did that, if you just went with somebody's name who happened to be a friend of yours, they would not go back and say, sorry, we had a jerk presenting. they would just go with it. they would just pretend it never happened. >> what would happen? i wonder -- that would be a terrible thing. >> jimmy: if you had a fire in your house, you have so many emmy's you couldn't even save them all. you'd have to make two trips. and they could even be hot when you came back. it's really a dangerous situation with these emmy's. >> now, you put it that way. >> jimmy: two for mom and "masters of sex." comedy and drama. those shows are very different

obviously. and i watch both of those shows. do you shoot -- you can't shoot them at the same time. >> no. during my hiatus, i shot two episodes of "masters of sex" two weeks ago. i'm on hiatus from "mom." it sort of worked out that i do one when i'm not doing the other. it worked out nicely. >> jimmy: "masters of sex" there's a lot of sex because that is the show. are you accustomed to constantly making love in front of -- >> i had to -- this latest episode, i had to have a gentleman -- i got the script very late. on friday, i knew someone was going to have to go down on me on monday.

>> jimmy: very polite. how you doing? so for those who don't know the idea here, you and john play brian wilson of the beach boys. obviously you play the younger version. >> yeah, i play brian in the '60s sort of at the peak of his creativity. he's just quit touring and decided to stay in the studio and work with the best musicians in los angeles who were called wrecking crew. it's sort of the peak of his creativity with pet sounds and going into this album called "smile" that he never finished and sort of the onset of meant illness. that's my part. >> jimmy: do you get paid for the whole movie when you only play half the character? >> i don't think so. >> jimmy: see, that's no good at all.

you play instruments? because brian wilson obviously -- >> yeah, i do. i actually think that music is the reason i got into acting. i think from singing in school, you start to then do musicals and plays. >> jimmy: did you do that sort of thing as a kid? >> i did. i actually started doing community theater, plays in school. and i started doing stuff on broadway in middle school. >> jimmy: how does that happen, you go from the school play to broadway? >> i don't know. it wasn't a super ambitious thing. i never had a lightning bolt moment, saw something, i'm going to be an actor. it was just something i kind of gravitated towards. it's like i go play basketball and go to the theater. >> jimmy: it's so strange. there's always that one kid in the school who's good. you go, like, oh, that kid was really good. maybe there are two with, but rarely do you see them on broadway, especially when they

are still kids. >> in retrospect it's a bizarre thing to have done. i went to school, go to sports practice and go do a play at night. then i would do the same thing the next day. >> jimmy: you have to beat yourself up after school probably. so you had -- how much weight did you have to gain for this role? >> i gained -- i gained at first like 35 pounds. i showed up to the costume fitting and my director was like, whoa, you still have to look good. >> jimmy: he thought you'd gained too much weight? >> that almost looks fake. that's silly. wow. >> jimmy: is that the same shirt? >> my girlfriend took that picture. it was like a year later. when i got chubby, i actually felt really sexy. >> jimmy: you see? >> i felt like really royal. >> jimmy: look how sexy that one is. right?

>> that's all i got. >> that's how i want to feel. >> jimmy: was it fun to gain 30 pounds? >> i felt pretty bloated and sweaty most of the time. >> jimmy: uh-huh. >> i had to eat like 4,500 calories a day. >> jimmy: oh, is that bad? >> i tried to do it as healthy as possible. at the end of the night, if i hadn't hit the math, i would get a pint of coconut ice cream and a bottle of red wine. >> jimmy: that's quite a combination. >> go to town. >> jimmy: real housewives kind of diet you are on. was it hard to get the weight off? >> i tore my acl playing basketball with the 30 extra pounds. i don't think my scrawny physique was prepared for that extra weight. right when i finished filming, i had knee surgery and so i laid on the couch fat with painkillers. >> jimmy: yeah, like elvis. >> you just lay there and want somebody to feed you.

it was kind of a great feeling. >> jimmy: you could have played both sides of brian wilson by yourself. >> that was art, life, whatever you call it. i literally continued the story for a few weeks on my couch with no cameras there. just like ringing a bell for my girlfriend to bring me painkillers and food. >> jimmy: were you a real beach boys fan? or did you know kokomo? >> well, you know, i feel like after disney songs, when you're young, it's like the early beach boys and beatles. no matter what, you like the beach boys. >> jimmy: whether you know it or not. you like the beach boys. >> yeah. in high school, i started to play music. real musicians talked about pet sounds. it had this like mythology to it. i loved it, but once i did this i became absolutely obsessed. pet sounds and smile are two of the greatest albums ever made. learning to play and sing them, i actually miss it. when i see that clip you just

showed, i miss that music. >> jimmy: come up to the room, we'll sing a little. great to see you. paul dano, everybody. go see the movie "love and mercy," it opens in theaters friday. and we shall return with music from hiatus kaiyote.
