thank you for joining us. up next jimmy kimmel live, the >> jimmy: before the show gets started i want to say, congratulations on a great run. i've enjoyed my time with all of you. you are an amazing group of people and "scandal" will be missed. a toast to all of you. >> cheers! >> cheers. >> cheers! [ cheers and applause ] >> you got any more wine? >> jimmy: you guys have a problem. >> dicky: from hollywood, it's the "jimmy kimmel live: scandal, goodbye to you" special. with shonda rhimes. and the cast of "scandal." plus music from chaka khan. and now, get ready, gladiators -- here's jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] ♪

>> jimmy: thank you. thank you very much. i'm jimmy, i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. thanks to all of you for coming. please relax, relax, sit. well, i -- i'm glad you're in a good mood. this is a bittersweet night as we say good-bye, we've bid a fond farewell to "scandal," america's favorite pope opera, which wrapped up its seventh and final season tonight. you guys watched it here in the studio, right? before we -- [ cheers and applause ] i heard there was crying, i heard there was screaming. was there crying and screaming? [ audience: yes ] >> jimmy: hopefully we'll have more of that later. shonda rhimes, kerry washington, the whole cast is here. even the dead one is here tonight. [ cheers and applause ] "scandal" premiered in 2012, back when the idea that a president would need a crisis manager seemed fantastic. [ laughter ]

that is obviously not the case anymore. trump getting elected while you're writing a fictional show about the white house really isn't fair, because it's like what would happen to "game of thrones" if they suddenly discovered that there are dragons flying around. this is the first time a tv show ended because the world jumped the shark instead of the other way around. you know there's a lot to follow on the show "scandal." the characters, the plot twists. sometimes it's hard to tell who was good and who was bad. but one thing that was always very certain was who was the president of the united states. >> i am the president of the united states. of america. >> the president of the united states of america. >> i am the president of the united states. >> i want to be the president of the united states. >> the president of the united states. >> the president of the united states. >> the president of the united states. >> the president of the united states. >> the president of the united states. >> the president of the united

states. >> the president of the united states. >> president of the united states. >> president of the united states. >> i'm president of the united states. >> president of the united states. >> president of the united states. >> president of the united states. >> i'm the president. >> i'm the president. >> you are the president. >> he's the president. >> i'm the president. >> he wouldn't be the president if i hadn't made him the president. >> the president of the united states. >> the president of the united states. >> the president of the united states? >> the president of the united states of america. >> you are the president of the united states. >> the president of the united states. >> the president of the united states. >> you are the president of the united states. >> the president of the united states! >> the president of the united states. >> i'm the president of the united states. >> jimmy: i know that had a sad ending. all right, the last one was a little hard to believe, but it's true. [ laughter ] the whole gang will be here shortly. in the meantime we have our own real-life white house drama to follow. donald trump as you know has announced his intention to run for a second term as president of the united states. but an unusual number of his

fellow republicans aren't sure they want to endorse him. and one of those republicans is senator bob corker of tennessee. >> do you support, today, president trump for re-election in 2020? >> look, i -- you know, who knows whether president trump's even going to run -- >> he's announced that he is going to run. >> well, now surely cnn is not taking for face value everything that comes out of the white house. we have no idea who's going to run, whether the president runs again or not i think is very questionable, candidly. >> why wouldn't he? >> uh -- i don't know, why would he? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: poor guy. that's the kind of thing you can say on cnn, because you know the president is either golfing or watching fox news. he's not tuned in. the president's been working from home at mar-a-lago this week where he just wrapped up hosting prime minister of japan shinzo abe. and between talks about north korea and trade, trump and the prime minister had a lot on their plates, literally.

[ speaking japanese ] >> translator: to be honest with you, today we also had the cheeseburger at the golf course. and on top of that, we had the working lunch. so we already had two lunches. and now we are going to have one dinner. >> jimmy: it was like trump introduced abe to our american tradition of the fourth meal. [ laughter ] meanwhile, the bigliest concern for team trump, the story reportedly driving him to the edge is whether or not his personal lawyer, michael cohen, is going to flip on him. cohen has been under federal investigation for months and many of trump's closest friends and advisers are worried that he'll make a deal to tell federal prosecutors everything he knows. one of the president's former lawyers told trump that on a scale of 1 to 100, where 100 100 represents full protection of the president, cohen isn't even at a 1. which i don't know about that. does this look like the face of

someone who's going to crack under pressure? [ laughter ] from federal investigators? i don't think so. looks like a dog that got caught peeing on the rug. who knows. michael cohen once said he would take a bullet for donald trump. robert mueller was like, oh, great, stand right there, you want a cigarette or anything? [ laughter ] trump confidants are openly concerned cohen might flip. i think that alone is interesting. if he's not guilty of anything, why does it matter if he flips? flip away. flip like an acrobat. here's the thing, almost no one ultimately turns out to be loyal to donald trump, because donald trump isn't loyal to them. he cheats in business, he cheats at golf, cheats in marriage, definitely cheats on his taxes, that's why we haven't seen him. he throws everybody that works for him under the bus eventually. loyalty to donald trump means you scratch my back, and then we're done. [ laughter ] on his way out of an anti-drug smuggling event in key west today, the president was asked whether he thought cohen would flip. and i thought he had an

interesting response to this reporter. >> mr. president, could michael cohen flip? are you worried he's not loyal? >> thank you, everybody. i hope you saw the crowds in key west. they've never seen anything like that. it was really very inspirational. and what we just witnessed was incredible. those crowds coming in, i think even the meeting will ha-- medi have to say that was quite something. >> jimmy: that was quite something, he ignored the question. yet another monologue about how big his crowds were. someday -- i feel like he'll be in prison going, you should have seen them, all the way back to the edge, they were chanting my name. [ applause ] trump, trump! and one more thing before we forge ahead. it is thursday night which means it's time to bleep and blur the big tv moments of the week whether they need it or not. it is "this week in unnecessary cens censorship." [ cheers and applause ] >> you've demonstrated you do

have a bias against the president. >> that was going to be pretty obvious to begin with. he [ bleep ]ed me. >> it isn't about leadership, it's about [ bleep ]. >> let's start with arthur chen who tells us about an organization in new jersey tackling the big job of [ bleep ]ing horses. >> it didn't feel like it was going to be my day, my hands were freezing, my [ bleep ] was tightening up. >> i understand that you're being [ bleep ]ed by our president but it does seem like you're benefitting a lot. >> people who are just tuning in, what the [ bleep ] happened? >> oh i just [ bleep ] my pants! >> no, no, no. i got three will you [ bleep ] questions? the first one is, will you [ bleep ] the president of the united states, donald trump? >> here's the deal. if you're going to [ bleep ], [ bleep ] it needs to be black [ bleep ]. yeah, yeah, you're good. >> even months back when the president was [ bleep ]ing you, did that hurt? >> oh, so you're being executed?

>> no one's being executed, not today. >> just shut up and let me [ bleep ] you.

toes. >> jimmy: oh, really? >> still, rihanna. >> she's telling people it's because she's been kicking ass. >> jimmy: i know you write a lot of shows at once, do you ever write them with your feet to save time? >> i do not, i do not, so they're safe. >> jimmy: thank you for coming, i appreciate you being here. [ cheers and applause ] it's kind of sad. you guys always come and we're always -- we've done so many fun things together. how did you -- like how did you first meet and decide that you were going to do this show together? >> oh, wow. >> together? oh, i remember you first coming in. >> okay, first came in. i had been meeting like all of these actresses. everybody wanted this part. >> yeah, it was a big, big meeting thing. you came in. >> oh-oh. >> no, it was amazing. you came in, and i think it was literally like two seconds in. you started talking about politics. and i knew that i wanted kerry for the part. but i have one of those faces. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: you didn't know that? >> no! i had to audition, there's a

process, i understand. >> my broug partner betsy beers says i have one of those faces where i get excited and start writing inside my head so my face goes blank, so people think i don't like them, as opposed to, she's really excited. >> jimmy: did you feel it didn't go well, kerry? >> i did not at all think that i was the one. i mean, because i also had girlfriends who read the script and felt like it was written for them. i felt that way. but everybody felt that way. it was so beautifully and brilliantly written. and also black girls, we weren't getting material like that in this town. now there are lots of opportunities. [ cheers and applause ] at the time it was like the diamond in the rough that is hollywood. so i really, really wanted this opportunity. but i had no idea that the first meeting went so well. >> oh, yeah, it did. >> jimmy: glad we could clear that up. shon da, i heard you were working on the show that aired tonight yesterday, like it was not done yet? >> it was not done yesterday at

about 2:00 p.m. was when i was done. i think my post-production team was probably done yesterday even later than that. >> jimmy: and what was it specifically were you still tinkering with beforehand? >> we were so blessed that we got to get a special song written by stevie wonder. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: that was a new -- yeah, i didn't recognize that song. >> brand-new song. >> you would not recognize the song. >> jimmy: how did you get that? >> it was a brand-new song. >> you have to be shonda rhimes. >> it was a brand-new song written by my favorite gladiator, stevie wonder. he wrote because he was inspired by "scandal" that he gave to us. so we got to put it in, we got to put it in at the very last minute. >> jimmy: did he call you and tell you, hey, i have this song, somebody contact you, i have something you might get to use? >> getting tothat to stevie wonder on the phone is pretty amazing. when he puts down the phone and says "hold on" and then starts playing music is a life-changing experience. >> jimmy: so he played the song for you?

>> oh my god, yes. >> jimmy: what if you had hated it? [ laughter ] >> you don't hate anything stevie wonder does. >> jimmy: i know, but let's say stevie loses his mind and it's totally -- it's like "scandal i light a candle ♪ >> the man is a national treasure. >> jimmy: ♪ i'm wearing sandals." >> the man is a national treasure? you got that in there. kerry, when you're walking in at the end of the show, i think you leave the show open to interpretation at the end, right? >> absolutely, yes. >> jimmy: you won't tell people how to interpret it? >> no. >> jimmy: kerry, how do you interpret it? [ laughter ] i think it's a fair question. because you know, you're acting, you're reading is stuff that shonda's written. i think like anybody else, probably, of course you have a better handle on it than anybody else, but like why is olivia pope's portrait hanging in the national portrait gallery? why do you think that is? >> oh ho ho -- gosh, i really

want shonda to answer this question. >> jimmy: yeah, shonda. >> even in the script it's written that we don't know exactly why. >> jimmy: right. >> in the actual screenplay for the episode it says it's not clear whether it's because she's the president or a first lady or what's happening. >> it doesn't say it's not clear and we don't know, it says that the audience is left not knowing. >> right. we know. >> jimmy: do you know? >> i know. >> tell us! >> i'm not going to say. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: we know. you know but you'll never tell. >> i get one last thing to say as a spoiler that i'm going to hold on to for the rest of my life. >> jimmy: really? >> oh my goodness. the very last day of filming i got to bring my parents and my daughter to walk through our pretend portrait gallery and witness that. >> jimmy: that's pretty great. who has the portrait? >> that was extraordinary. >> the smithsonian. >> jimmy: they took -- >> has one, right? >> not yet. they haven't seen the episode so i don't know that they know. >> oh, oh. >> maybe they will now.

[ laughter ] >> jimmy: do they get whatever they want or do you set things aside, i want to keep this? >> the smithsonian came to curate and took some items, which was a huge compliment for us. i pretty much was, take whatever you want. it might be that there's the -- we have a replica of the resolute desk that jack kennedy and president obama sat at, that fitz sat it, that might be someplace in my home. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: should we bring out the rest of the cast? >> yes, please.
