monday. appreciate your time. >> from all of >> dicky: from hollywood it's "jimmy kimmel live"! tonight -- melissa mccarthy -- from "american idol" luke bryan -- and la dodger cody bellinger. and now for good measure, here's jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: hi, everyone. that's very nice. hello there. i'm jimmy. i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. thanks for coming. [ cheers and applause ] please, please. that's very nice. i hope you had a good weekend. i hope it was present and restful. you know, it wasn't a pleasant

and restful weekend for everyone. did you hear about that old very scarey volcano that erupted over the weekend? well, his name is rudy giuliani. [ laughter ] he was mayor of new york at one time. he is a lawyer now. and spokesperson for donald trump. >> if a man buys a suit, if a woman buys a dress, it cannot be considered a campaign contribution. now, this was for another purpose. and number two, the first one's enough. so -- yeah. i mean, that -- the retainer agreement. which turns out now -- that adds to -- $130,000. you haven't asked me about it. and i have done this in the past. i've got a client who wants to testify. i'm going to walk him in. i lay out money. i bill him for it. i don't care. ♪ [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: if that doesn't give you nightmares, i give up. after 36 hours of wild free-wheeling almost unhinged interview on the president's

behalf last week, during which he directly couldnntradicted statements the president made about the payment to stormy daniels to the point where the president himself had to say giuliani's new, he doesn't know all the facts. what did giuliani do? he went out for a whole new round of interviews this weekend. he had a chat with george stephanopoulos yesterday that finally cleared everything up once and for all. >> so the president did know about this after the campaign? >> can't say that. at some point yes. but it could have been recently. it could have been a while back. those are the facts that we're still working on. and that you know, maybe in a little bit of dispute. this is more rumor than it is anything else. >> well, that's what you say. you said that to buzzfeed. >> yeah. that's one of the possibilities and one of the rumors. the reality is -- >> you stated it as fact. >> maybe i did. but right now -- [ laughter ] i'm at the point where i'm learning and i can only -- i can't prove that. i can just say it's rumor. i can prove it's rumor but i can't prove it's fact.

>> jimmy: i've got to tell you. i don't even know what he was trying to say. [ laughter ] let's look at this closely. guillermo, bring in the board so we can really examine this. thank you, guillermo. >> guillermo: you're welcome. >> jimmy: you see here, rudy said -- question from george stephanopoulos was whether trump knew about michael cohen's payment after the campaign. he said "can't say that." even though he did say it the other day. [ laughter ] at some point yes but it could have been recently. it could have been a while back. those are the facts that we're still working on and that, you know, maybe in a little bit of dispute. facts are in dispute. this is more rumor than it is anything else. so then george stephanopoulos says, but you stated this as fact. to which rudy replied, well, maybe i did. but right now i'm at the point where i'm learning.

[ laughter ] and i can't prove that. i can just say it's rumored. i can prove it's rumor, but i can't prove it's fact. [ cheers and applause ] do you understand? he can prove it's rumor. you can take it back because i could go over it two dozen more times, it wouldn't make any difference. but i think i know what's going on here. i think their strategy right now is to put someone out there who's even nuttier than trump to make him look normal by comparison, and it's working. michael avenatti, the lawyer for stormy daniels, was on the show right after rudy giuliani, and he was able to give rudy's appearance some historical perspective. >> george, did that interview just happen? i mean, i'm not being spoofed, right? >> you heard the whole thing. what's your reaction? >> it's an absolute unmitigated disaster for rudy giuliani and the president. it's a trainwreck.

i can't believe that that actually just happened. i mean, what we witnessed by rudy giuliani may be one of the worst tv appearances by any attorney on behalf of a client in modern times. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: all right. so he's saying there's room for improvement. so with rudy running amok on tv the president is busy making this country great again. trump will reportedly be hosting not just one but two summits at the white house to discuss race relations in america. according to pastor darryl scott, one of the summits will be with athletes. the other will be with musicians. it's famous people only. no exceptions. the possible guest list includes kanye west, mike tyson, colin kaepernick, evander holyfield, and jim brown. which that isn't a race summit. that's season 45 of "dancing with the stars." [ laughter ] but at this summit they're planning to cover a host of topics including their plan to revitalize poor urban neighborhoods, a plan that is

led by jared kushner. and who better to lead that than jared? they say he's ready to meet a black person and he's learning how to high five. [ cheers and applause ] so it's going to be -- it's going to be koom moe d is what it's going to be. maybe the best part of this, the white house staffer who's in charge of putting this shebang together is andrew giuliani. rudy giuliani's son. he works in the white house office of public liaison and is most famous, i don't know if you remember this, for being the very excited little boy at his father's swearing in ceremony back in 1994. >> to my mother helen, who is 84 years old. >> oh, yeah! oh, yeah! oh, yeah! oh, yeah! >> thank you for giving me the gift of thirsting for knowledge. as we prepare to give our children a stronger and a healthier city, it should be so,

and it will be so. thank you. >> jimmy: i love that kid. if anyone can bring the races together, that's the kid. so the president, who was in dallas on saturday for a big circle jerkle at the nra convention, he gave a very self-congratulatory speech that included shoutouts -- shouts out to two of his four african-american friends. >> we're also joined by pete richards, dana loesch, charlie kirk, diamond and schultz. where are they? >> jimmy: they shouldn't be that hard to spot in that room. [ applause ] i wonder if diamond and silk will be invited to the race summit. the president was upstaged today by his wife. first lady melania trump, who unveiled her official platform at the white house this afternoon. as you know, michelle obama's focus when she was first lady

was on healthy eating and exercise and melania's focus is on helping children too. it's very meaningful to her. you know, her husband is a child. [ laughter ] so this campaign to help top bullying is a good cause. it's someone everyone can agree on, whether you're a republican like little marco or lyin' ted or a democrat like crooked hillary or crazy bernie. we all know that internet bullying is bad. so melania has embraced it. and her slogan, you remember -- remember, mrs. obama's slogan was let's move for the exercise thing. mrs. trump's slogan was revealed as this. >> and i believe together we can make a real difference. >> jimmy: be best is the slogan. [ laughter ] i think there must be a word missing. it was either going to be be best or do goodest. and they went with be best.

[ applause ] let's look at that again. it's like a space filip is d.j. khaled writing slogans for the white house now? [ laughter ] and on the same day the first lady committed herself to helping children her his band was proposing major cuts to the children's health insurance program. his slogan is be best or be gone. [ laughter ] in any event it was a busy few days for the trumps. not only was the president in dallas to talk guns, he stopped in to cincinnati to talk taxes where we slowed him down for just a minute to release his alter ego, drunk donald trump. ♪ [ slowed down ] >> we have judges. we have thousands of judges. do you think other countries have judges? ♪ >> jimmy: of course they do. [ cheers and applause ] that's how they pick beauty pageant winners. you know, one more thing. with all this talk about the president and politics, i thought it might be nice to share something that doesn't

have anything to do with that at all. whether you're a republican, a democrat, a dog lover, or even a cat person, this is a video i defy you not to enjoy. it's been seen almost 40 million times, and for good reason. this video is what is going to heal the united states of america. let it begin. >> kasha. kasha, where are you? kasha. kasha. where are you, tasha? tasha. tasha. where are you? where are you, tasha? [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: well done, tasha. it's like whack amole without

the stick. we have a great show. from the los angeles dodgers cody bellinger is here. luke bryan is with us. and we'll be right back with melissa mccarthy. so stick around. >> dicky: abc's "jimmy kimmel live" brought to you by geico. presentation. fe hijacking earth's geothermal energy supply. phase 1. choosing the right drill bit. as long as evil villains reveal their plans, you can count on geico saving folks money. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. when it's your mission to get a better hot dog in every hand, you gotta make a better dog! that's just what oscar mayer does. with no artificial preservatives, any added nitrates or nitrites, and by waving bye to by-products.

>> what do you mean? >> well, i'll see you at the law zoot, but i can tell you. from the candy cane. i think it was the candy cane. >> jimmy: you were dressed in many costumes. >> as you do. >> jimmy: well, yeah. sometimes. >> i think we all dress as candy canes. >> jimmy: there you go. [ applause ] >> at the time i thought what a great idea. there was like 75 to 140 pounds that kept coming down on my neck they kept saying we can't see you unless you keep your chin out. then i'm holding all the weight. keep your chin out. and the whole time i'm talking i'm like -- and the next day i was like why does my neck hurt? and then i realized i have a candy cane injury. >> jimmy: i'd like to point out also it was not christmas time. [ laughter ] >> that was not important to me. >> jimmy: your parents were on the show when you hosted. >> oh, my gosh. i know.

in their natural habitat. they were in la-z-boys with afghan blankets over them. but i had such a bet going. i thought there's no way my dad's going to stay awake. and he did the whole time. which is amazing. >> jimmy: you thought he was going to fall asleep in front of the live studio audience. >> for sure. he can fall asleep anywhere. >> jimmy: on stage. weren't they right over there? >> yeah. by was like he's going to go out. you were very sweet. you inted my mom tonight, and i kid you not, without any hesitation, i said jimmy invited you to come tonight. if you want to be on the show. she goes, oh, you know what, tell jimmy i can't but we'll see about next year. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: they're welcome anytime. >> jimmy: e. >>. >> i was like, okay, i am going to tell him that. >> jimmy: you don't even have to be there. she's welcome anytime she likes. i was at a party at your house once and i talked to them for a while. >> my dad's really chatty. >> jimmy: your dad's in the movie. your dad sxwrur father-in-law.

>> there's two grumpy old men with maya rudolph who plays my best friend in it and playing racquetball poorly. they're like the grumpy old men, come on, get out of the court. they're sitting around in shorts. they've not acted before. like in a movie or for my dad at all. i've also not seen -- i've not seen hi-fi on my dad -- i don't know. maybe i was 10. go irish. but they're like two light bulbs. his legs are like my wrist but just lightning bolts of white skin. and i was so shocked. and he weirdly -- i'm totally like outing him. he sat down -- now, in jeans, you know, he sits like a human. he'll sit normally. something happened. he was on a leather couch, and he had like athletic shorts, and somehow when he sat he just sat like this and there was a weird -- i was like, dad, you're

in shorts. and i ran -- i ran past ben and i was like, my dad's sitting crazy, i'll go talk to him. and ben grabs me and he goes, i know exactly how he's sitting. don't change a thing. [ laughter ] sewn joy my dad's high thighs. i think it's safe to say the irish are known for their thighs. >> jimmy: have you ever used the sentence "enjoy my dad's balls" before? [ laughter ] >> i have not. >> jimmy: you have not. good. >> have you? >> jimmy: probably. [ laughter ] what else are mom and i going to talk about? >> that's your holiday card. >> jimmy: do your parents live with you now here in l.a.? >> they have been out here -- no, they live in illinois. but they have been out here -- they spent the winter with me. so they've been out here, my dad five months -- my dad six months. my mom 5 1/2.

>> they live with you. >> heaven. it's been so great. >> jimmy: oh, you love it. >> yeah. there's like two different worlds happening where people are like oh, my god. that's awful. i was like no, no, no. it's like the greatest thing that's happened to me. then there's other people that are like i'm going to be heartbroken when they leave. those two worlds will never meet. people are instantly like i am so sorry. i was like, no, no. it's fantastic. we go get coffee. do you want to get a drink or something? >> jimmy: did you cry when they went home? you did, yeah. so it was serious. >> well, they left today. >> jimmy: they left today? >> oh, my god. i'm going to cry and i'll be so mad at myself. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: okay, good. all right. good. the tears of a clown. [ cheers and applause ] >> my dad left at 3:00. my dad left at 3:00.

and i was like, you know, they have later flights. and he was like i've got to get on the lake. i've got to get back on the lake. he's dying to go fishing. >> jimmy: they went separately. >> yes. he'll fly, and my mom will only take the train. >> jimmy: why? >> he's like see ya. >> jimmy: they go separately because they're worried about who will take care of you god forbid anything happens to them? >> they're worrying about national security. and i can't get into it. no, he wants to get back on the lake, and my mom is going to my sister's outside of denver for like three weeks to see her and her family. and my dad literally is like -- he was making plans like the whole day. he's like in an uproar about getting on the lake tomorrow morning. >> jimmy: i see. so he's ready to fish. fishing season is open -- i understand. >> he's like i'll be fishing by 6:00 a.m. tomorrow. really serious. >> jimmy: maybe the plane could just drop him into the lake. >> so they weirdly go separate ways. >> jimmy: this movie you've made is -- i'm not going to give too much of it away, but the basic premise of the film is you take

your daughter to college. something happens between you and your husband. and then you decide to go to the same college as your daughter. >> yes. as you do. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: in a way it's kind of how your life is going right now. >> if this keeps up -- >> jimmy: do you feel like this is autobiographical in any way? >> ben thought of it. and right when he said it i was like that would be amazing. i should go back to school when the girls go. he's like no, i'm bringing that up as a conflict. and i go oh, but i think the girls would love to go to school with me. he says no. the point is -- maybe this is not the best idea. and i was like i go to school with my mom. by was like watching my mom and i. i'm sure we were fiddling around in the kitchen and he's watching my mom who is so sweet and nice as you know and he started thinking about her at the age i am and what age would i be. somehow he created this whole weird thing in his head.

he's like, what if the character i play is kind of based on my mom. she's very optimistic, very happy. but i do. i go back to school with my daughter. >> jimmy: so there's a reality there. >> no, not for me. i was a wreck in college. >> jimmy: but playing the part -- basing it on your mom. why were you a wreck in college? >> well. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: did you live in the dorms? >> i did. so that part i did right. >> jimmy: did you have a roommate that you keep in touch with or anything? >> no. i don't keep in touch with her. she walked, in i was very punk at the time. i looked like siouxie ssiouxie robert smith had a baby. [ applause ] thank you for that. i walked in, and there was a girl request black hair and a clash t-shirt and high tops. and i thought what are the odds

both of us are in one room? then her sister comes out of the bathroom, slaps on a whitesnake poster and goes, are you her? i was like is that any roommate? she says no, that's my little sister, i'm your roommate. and then the family left and i was like oh, whitesnake, huh? so i put up my cure posters. and then the icebreaker -- and i'm sure she's a wonderful gal now. i have not kept in touch with her. her big icebreaker is we were sitting there -- because it's so weird. now now going to sleep next tie stranger. and her big icebreaker was hey, you know, i live right down the street from gacy. [ laughter ] i was like, what? >> jimmy: john wayne gacy? >> yeah. john wayne gacy. i used to walk by his house. and i guess that was supposed to be like we'll be friends forever.

and there were women all around and they would kind of congrega congregate. it was so beautiful. i just would walk through the halls, and i was like i should have actually gone into my classrooms. this seems wonderful. there were beautiful portraits and people sitting around reading. i was like, i opted to book bands the a pizza place instead of -- i can't make class but i've got to get this band. >> jimmy: did you go to college under protest? did you not want to go? >> i wanted to go to new york. i wanted to go to f.i.t. i wanted to make clothing right away. my parents are like you're not going to new york. you're crazier in new york. i went to southern illinois university. >> jimmy: for how long were you there? >> for like a year and a half. >> jimmy: and then you went right to new york, right? >> no. i went to boulder. because that makes sense. >> jimmy: i see. >> i went there because my sister was there. i sold beans at a farmer's market. >> jimmy: how many beans did you sell?

>> not that many. [ laughter ] not that many. >> jimmy: beans. wow. >> i don't think -- now i'm just telling terrible stories about my parents. i worked at a farmer's market, and there was like the guy that worked next to me in the stall, and i was very smitten with him. in the middle of me telling my mom about -- i think his name was like gunther, so i was like of course he's wonderful. he sells beans too. >> jimmy: bean salesman. >> we were talking about what we were selling and out of nowhere my mom goes, do all lesbians like broccoli? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: what? >> which i guess was kind of great because she was i guess trying to -- i cut my -- >> jimmy: she was dipping her toe in the water. oh, you got a haircut and suddenly -- >> this needs a whole lot of hair to balance it out. [ laughter ] i was like, what did you say? she goes, well, all lesbians

love broccoli. because i'd been talking about broccoli. i said i don't know. i doubt they all like the same vegetable, mom. i was like, are you trying to -- it's like i love that you've asked. and she was like, anyway your aunt said that. i said off the topic. >> jimmy: wow. >> but i love that was her smooth way of just like weird pitch treble in her voice. >> jimmy: it would be a great title for a book too. "do all lesbians like broccoli?" something to think-b you know. >> if i switch things up, that's going to be my autobiography. >> jimmy: it's great to see you. the movie opens on friday. it's called "life of the party." melissa mccarthy, everyone. we'll be right back with luke bryan.
