that's our report. we appreciate your time. i'm dan ashley. >> i'm ama daetz. >> dicky: from hollywood it's "jimmy kimmel live!" tonight donald glover. from "life of the party," molly gordon this week in unnecessary censorship and music from angélique kidjo. and now, stay right there, here's jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: welcome. i'm jimmy. i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. thanks for coming. on a -- it's a big night in our neighborhood. the street as you probably noticed is closed down outside our theater. you still made it here on time. the force is with us all tonight. the big hollywood premiere of

"solo: a star wars story." look at that. the millennium falcon. they built one. one of the guys who works here this morning came in and said hey, there's a life-size millennium falcon outside. and then i explained because i have to ruin everything that it's not life size because there is no millennium falcon in real life. [ laughter ] and then he started to cry. his name is danny. he's 33. he's a lonely guy. we have probably the biggest star of the war of all of them with us tonight. donald glover is here. [ cheers and applause ] that's right. very exciting. as i was thinking about it, we haven't had a new "star wars" movie in months. literally. meanwhile, it has been a bigly week for our president who was up very late last night. the president and first lady were at andrews air force base this morning at around 3:00 a.m. to greet three american detainees who were being held by kim jong un. let me tell you something. after all that time in north korea, you've never seen three people more excited about a little bag of airline peanuts in

your life. so before they set foot on american soil trump went on to the plane to say hello and also to give them a quick reminder of just why they were there. >> you're welcome. you're welcome. you're welcome. you're welcome. you're very welcome. you're welcome. i did this. you're welcome. >> jimmy: by the way, did you see that move? the moment with the handshake -- let's look at that handshake again. so he's got the peace sign and trump just kind of squeezes it. maybe he thought it was time for a quick game of rock paper scissors. i don't know. [ laughter ] the prisoners, the hostages were said to be relieved to be free, happy to be home, and baffled as to why the host of the "celebrity apprentice" picked them up at the airport. [ laughter ] the president of course is very upbeat. he finally got some -- this positive coverage he so desperately craves. and he took time out to not only thank the assembled media but to

remind us of what really is most important in life. >> i want to thank you all. it's very early in the morning. i think you probably broke the all-time in history television rating for 3:00 in the morning. that i would say. >> jimmy: yes. what a historic day to celebrate nielsen ratings. he really has nothing to do with. and then he actually thanked kim jong un for releasing the men and for treating them well. right. outside of the hold kidnapping them and holding them against their will for nothing thing, he was very hospitable. he really was. [ laughter ] and of course no team trump victory would be complete without a message from our brown noser in chief, mike pence. >> it was an incredibly powerful moment to see the president and the first lady bring three americans back to freedom. and it was all a direct result of the strong and clear leadership that president trump has provided on the world stage in this moment.

think about how far we've come in the last year. >> jimmy: it's true. a year ago he wasn't allowed to be in a room with a woman without his wife present. [ laughter ] and now there he is with andrea mitchell. but make no mistake. the release of the hostages is excellent news. and we know now where and when trump will meet with kim jong un. he tweeted the highly anticipated meeting between kim jong un and myself will take place in singapore on june 12th. we will both try to make it. a very special moment for world peace. >> that's good. you should make the moment special. all our moments should be special. in singapore, though. i didn't even know they had a hooters in singapore. [ laughter ] secretary of state mike pompeo, he's the one whoen terd north korea to pick the hostages up and to meet with kim jong un. now, this is footage from korean central television. this is like when the bachelor meets the ladies getting out of the limo. now they're actually not posing for a picture. just hanging out. and kim escorts mike to the dining room, where as you can

see they've prepared a traditional north korean meal. [ laughter ] and then they talk for quite a while. they actually released video of the conversation they had. and i have to say mike pompeo really knows how to chat it up. >> when i was a teenager i was an employee of the month at baskin robbins. not once but twice. i'm a movie buff. i have a soft spot for my golden retrievers. love meatballs that i make with my dad's recipe. and although he'll dispute this i can beat my son in cornhole every day. i love revolutionary war history, country music, show tunes, and college basketball. >> jimmy: all right. enough of the chitchat. i've got relatives to kill. [ laughter ] so there you go. we're making new friends all over the world. republicans in the house believe president trump deserves a nobel prize for all this. and the president of south korea agrees. republicans nominated him for the nobel prize for peace, which if it happens i imagine would look something like this.

>> the nobel committee is proud to announce the nominations for the 2019 alfred nobel peace prize. and the nominees are -- dr. zanzu mbotswelu for his tireless work treating the needy in sudanese refugee camp. mayor judapur for his efforts to restore order and bring relief to victims in the poorest communities devastated by the 2018 indonesian flood. and president donald j. trump. ♪ >> north korea. >> i would have been boom-boom boom. >> let's not make any more threats. >> i could shoot somebody. >> grab them by the [ bleep ]. >> i'd like to punch him in the face. >> they will be met with fire and fury. >> knock the crap out of him. >> knock the [ bleep ] out of everybody. >> we're going to kick your ass.

>> knives. knives. >> beat up as many people as you can. >> congratulations to all the nominees. god has forsaken us. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: all right. well, hey, listen, donald trump doesn't want prizes and accolades. dr. dre, i don't know if you heard, this dr. dre is involved in an interesting legal dispute. the rapper and producer dr. dre lost a trademark case against an ob-gyn in pennsylvania whose name is also dr. drai but spelled d-r-a ifrks. rap dr. dre was trying to stop the real doctor -- yes, that's a real doctor. from trademarking the name dr. drai. but last week a court ruled against him in favor of ob-gyn and jugs and juice as he is now known. the famous dre said it could cause confusion. though it seems like once you get your feet in the stir-ups

you wouldn't be confused. the gynecologist is also author of this book called "20 things you may not know about the penis." especially number 14, did you know the peen snis is a vegetab? [ laughter ] did you know that, guillermo? >> guillermo: no. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: all right. anyway, this is how soft our country has become. our east coast-west coast rap feuds are now being fought by gynecologists. [ laughter ] it's 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's time for "this week nun necessary censorship." they're sending a message to north korea that the u.s. will not accept inadequate [ bleep ]. jeff. >> chip reid, [ bleep ] you. >> spoke with one official who said look, giuliani [ bleep ] the president's [ bleep ] but if he doesn't begin to show more discipline he's going to lose that. >> i would like to [ bleep ] the president, the vice president,

karen pence. >> i've [ bleep ] every single major world leader in the last 44 years. just the nature of my job. >> you know, i can actually [ bleep ] like a large [ bleep ] and then go straight to sleep. >> sometimes it's really hard to get a good photo of your [ bleep ]. at least with my [ bleep ]. >> let it end,000. thank you. god bless you. [ bleep ] you. >> they came out and kind of [ bleep ] us in the mouth and we kind of took that. we took that [ bleep ]. >> can we get him a mask? >> i hope he signed a waiver. >> i love [ bleep ] i have to say. >> with a diet coke. >> two a day might be a little much. >> i had the most excruciating pain i've ever had in my life. if you've ever had a [ bleep ] in your butt, then you'd know what i'm talking about. >> i've been married 30 years, and i love him a lot but he's got a really hairy [ bleep ]. and he always wants me to shave it for him. >> what? >> well, get ready, then,

because old lucky is mighty big. >> oh, oh, oh! that is one big [ bleep ]. >> jimmy: we're going to take a break. when we come back, in honor of mother's day kristen bell, anthony anderson, will forte, and more read real text messages from their real moms. so stick around. we'll be right back. we'll be right back. >> dicky: abc's "jimmy kimmel live," brought to you by the maker of nexgard chuables. from nexgard. nexgard kills fleas and ticks all month long. and it comes in an easy-to-give tasty chew. and that makes dogs and owners happy. no wonder vets love it too. reported side effects include vomiting, itching, diarrhea, lethargy and lack of appetite. see your vet for more information on flea and tick protection you and your dog will love. nexgard. the vet's #1 choice.

[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: welcome back to our television show. donald glover, molly gordon and music from angelique kidjo is on the way. mother's day is also on the way on sunday. i hope you're aware of that. mother's day is our chance to apologize to mom for forcing our enormous skulls through her

birth canal. [ laughter ] i'm sure there are a lot of you watching tonight who are still trying to figure out what to get mom for mother's day. while flowers are fine, candies are fine, if you search the words -- the phrase "mother's day" on ebay you could really score something unique. and we did that. and we came up with a whole assortment of items. these really are for sale on ebay. for instance, we'll begin with this plain white coffee mug. which is a great gift if your mom is a denny's. [ laughter ] or perhaps she'd prefer this happy mother's day peanut knife. in case mom's feeling stabby this year. [ laughter ] here is a 2018 donruss mother's day andrelton simmons baseball card. which is a great mother's day gift if you are the mother of andrelton simmons. [ laughter ] and literally no one else. these are practical gifts. these are natural relief menopause pills. and they're dolphin safe. just like the tuna. or maybe this. the lady chronic marijuana

walking cane. which by the way that is endorsed by both dr. dres. [ laughter ] you can get mom a dog tag that says dad on it. or for a touch of class this "fat people are hard to kidnap" t-shirt. [ laughter ] also i want to point out this shirt should not be available in size small. that's fat shaming. here's another shirt that's perfect if your mother is also your aunt. it says "happiness is being aunt." they probably should have picked a font that doesn't make the a look like a c. [ laughter ] because the message could change. finally, an intimate gift. a pair of "very sexy victoria's secret panties" for mother's day. if you buy this for your mother, you should be put on a government watch list. [ laughter ] guillermo, you get anything for your mother yet? >> not yet, jimmy, but i'm going to buy her flowers and give her some money. >> jimmy: nice. lu give anything to your mother-in-law? >> guillermo: no. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: you know, of all the

many relationships we as humans have, mother is probably the most complicated. i mean, we come out of them. that's weird, right? and so to honor the fascinating women who baked us, we invited famous people to read text messages from their mothers. these are real texts from real mothers, from real people you know and love. enjoy. >> my dear annie. i hope this doesn't wake you. i just want you to know how proud your father and i are of you. as you know know, we truly believe you are the greatest actress of your generation. we do someday hope you transition into dramatic work. i also woke up because i'm worried you're not wearing enough sunscreen and taking the b-12 i got you from a costco. i hope this doesn't wake you. please give allison janney our love and congratulations. no one deserves the oscar more than her.

3:34 a.m. >> i simply can't believe trump went through all this to keep stormy daniels quiet. he must have a very small peanut. peanuts. penis. sorry. i hate this phone. >> so every year i'll send my mom a christmas ornament to put on her christmas tree, and this most recent one she got, it took a picture of it on the tree and this is what she wrote. thank you, jack. hope you live long enough to see it in person. >> simon hellberg. holy [ bleep ]. brilliant work in florence foster jenkins. is it okay for a grandma to lust? sure. just you truly do not need to text me about it. >> so keenan daequan ray [ bleep ] jackson. i want this 100k car for my 50th. i'm your mom. >> keenan daequan ray mother

[ bleep ] jackson. i want that car. >> man, you keep [ bleep ] up because like you saying too much. >> oh, okay. >> hey, kristen. i know that you know jimmy kimmel. and he's doing the oscars. so tell him to give you all the winners so you can give me the winners and i can win at my oscar party. >> hey, son. our new friends are loving arrested development. we still don't get it. happy mother's day. >> oh. dear patton -- who am i kidding? my mom doesn't know how to text. she only calls me on a landline. i don't even have voice messages. >> this is just a series of emojis. it is a sun, a dog, a fish, a crab, a boar, a crab, i think a cat, and then this number of

ducks. and a bee at the end and ducks. and then one additional one with just all ducks. >> my mother texted me last week. baby, you know what i want for mother's day? i say, what, ma? she said, i want a room in vegas. i was like, okay, i'll take care of it. three days later i just wake up to a text that says, get hotel. working on it, mama. next day, tell me where it is. mama, i'm waiting on approval. all right? so if anybody wants to go to vegas and see my mother, she's staying at room 1337 at the mandalay bay hotel. she'll be there saturday night. love you, mama. >> well, listen, you know what? everyone's mom is crazy. he think that's the lesson we learned.

[ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah. >> so i was like i'll just like let it be. >> jimmy: you're the kind of person you that see one negative thing and it makes you feel bad? >> more like i see one negative thing and i track that person down. [ laughter ] i'll go into their instagram and be like you're not so great. [ laughter ] that baby's not even that cute. right? [ laughter ] so yeah. >> jimmy: also, last night you were at stevie wonder's birthday party. >> yeah. >> jimmy: which is -- i opinion, that's -- right? that's got to be a life highlight. >> i mean, i'm a huge fan of his. like i just love dish just love everything he's ever done. i think he mhas amazing taste. his songs are really joyful but

also can be really dark. i just love him. i'd never seen him before. >> jimmy: oh, you'd never seen him before. >> no. >> jimmy: i saw video of you on stage singing with him. >> yeah. it was nuts. like in the middle he's like i see donald glover's here. [ laughter ] and i'm like -- and it was crazy. i was with angela bassett. i'm like what? what's going on? and he's just talking. and he's being really nice. and then halfway through somebody comes up, he's like do you want to sing "superstition" with stevie wonder? and i'm like, of course i would. and then i'm on my phone like what are the lyrics? i've got to make sure. [ laughter ] you know, freaking out. it was like a dream. it was pretty crazy, yeah. >> jimmy: one of the things -- you probably experienced many great things in your life, but i can't imagine that anything would top singing on stage with stevie wonder. >> yeah, it's been -- it was really crazy. i just didn't think i'd be doing that. >> jimmy: who would think they'd

be doing that? i mean, really. >> or that he would even be like hey, you're in the audience. you should come sing with me. >> jimmy: or that he can see. [ laughter ] it's all amazing. >> because i use his songs in my show. >> jimmy: in "atlanta." >> in "atlanta." and you have to ask permission. you have to ask special permission because it was just a special situation. so i called him. i got his number. and he was like, oh, yeah -- we were texting. and -- already crazy. already crazy. so we're texting and i'm like hey, stevie, like you know, i want to use your songs. he's like, well, send it over. let me read it. so it gets turned into braille. it gets sent to him. he reads it. and then i don't hear anything. we call again and i'm like hey, can i use your music for this? and he's like, yeah, i liked it. he's like -- and i was like yeah, because we just got the first cut. i want to put the music in to make sure. he's like, oh, you got the first cut? let me see it.

[ laughter ] and i'm like, sure? and then we send it to him. and he just texted back. he's like man, i love it. i saw it is, loved it. and then the whole time i'm like thank you. oh, that's great. and i'm like, how'd he do that? [ laughter ] like it's the same thing with this like -- with his album covers. i'm like these are so good. how does he know they're so good? who's telling him -- or what? i don't know. >> jimmy: even like you see him with women that he's married to or dating where you're like wow, she's beautiful. >> yeah. how did he -- or just touching the tv screen, like this is funny. [ laughter ] this looks funny. all right. >> jimmy: what is the album -- two questions for you. the first album you bought, you remember buying. and also the one you've listened to the most in your life. >> oh, of just all albums? >> jimmy: yeah. not just of stevie, yeah. >> i guess i'm like a real -- like i remember the first album

i bought like with my own -- with my own money. >> jimmy: your own money, yeah. >> i think it might have been -- wow. this is -- this is not embarrassing. it's just funny. you can tell how old i am. it was probably "tragic kingdom" by no doubt. like i think that was the first time i had money and "don't speak" was out. and i was like i just love this song. just really wanted to -- but i think i've probably listened to "miseducation" by lauryn hill the most. [ applause ] >> jimmy: really? >> it's kind of flawless. like every time i listen to it, i don't know -- stevie, because i love "music of my mind." but i feel like lauryn hill's album just -- an album about love and every type of love. i've just never heard an album quite like that. when it came to me, i was like yo, this is about everything. so i just -- yeah, i love that album. >> jimmy: these are good

choices. i approve. when we come back, we're going to show a clip. lando -- you're lando now. there's no getting around it. >> there's no getting around it. >> jimmy: from here on out, no matter what you accomplish, you will be land o calrissian. we'll talk a look at a clip from "solo: a star wars story." donald glover is with us. we'll be right back. right back. to be themselves. the surface laptop has already made me more productive. i'm creating mood boards. i'm editing content. or i'm running around new york with a huge bouquet of balloons. so having a light laptop is a game changer. plus the battery life on the surface lives forever. my blog is sometimes about fashion, sometimes about sprinkles. it's usually always about color. find what makes you different, because that sets you apart from everyone else.

[ cheers and applause ] are you nervous? you seem a little bit nervous. >> yes. i am nervous. >> jimmy: this is your first talk show. >> yes. this is my first talk show. >> jimmy: it's going great so far. >> thank you. [ cheers and applause ] my friends call me an interviewer because i tend to ask a lot of questions. so when i was thinking about what to say i was more thinking of questions for you. >> jimmy: oh, really? >> than myself. yes. >> jimmy: well, if you feel the need to ask anything -- >> yes. >> jimmy: -- don't hesitate. just jump right in. >> how did you get your start?

>> jimmy: oh, that's -- as a baby, actually-s how i started. you -- your parents are in show business, right? my parents are not. my father is a bowler, really. and not even a professional bowler. but your mom and dad are both directors? >> yes. they're both directors and writers. so it was a very creative household. and i grew up like working in the art department or working in hair doing different odd jobs. yes. >> jimmy: really? >> yes. >> jimmy: and when your parents are directors, like do they wake you up in the morning yelling "action"? is there -- >> no. not specifically. we definitely were a very open household. i'm an only child. i'm very close with my parents. m i had my first boyfriend when i was 13, he took me on a date to see "star trek" and he tried to make out with me and it was too much for me. so i came home and i told my parents that i didn't want to be with him anymore and that i was going to ghost him, and they said no, you have to write him something. let's sit down, let's have a writer's room, let's pitch,

let's go back and forth. and my mom, you know, is very gentle. and she felt like you know, molly, you're holding his heart in your hands. you don't want to mess him up for future relationships. you've got to make him feel heard. and my dad is very funny. and he's like keep it up, keep it snappy, we need jokes. i didn't want to say anything. i just wanted to say i'm going to theater camp, i never want to see you again. that was like the first of many like -- >> jimmy: was it a handwritten letter? >> it was a handwritten letter. and they definitely have helped me write other things in my life too. >> jimmy: they help you with all your break-up letters? >> all my break-up letters have been co-written by them. >> jimmy: it makes being dumped even worse knowing that the parents were in on it too. >> yes. >> jimmy: do they ever try to talk you out of it and go i like this one, maybe we should just hold on to this for a while? >> we're very much on the same page, which i'm very close with them. that's why this movie felt -- i felt very lucky to be in it because it's showing a very

close family and that's what i -- >> jimmy: a very close family because melissa mccarthy plays your mom. and the idea is you go to college and then she comes to college with you. >> yes. and i think we bonded on the fact that we were like we would love this, i want her to come. and i think we're probably the two only people that feel that way. >> jimmy: yeah. i know. it's funny because i was talking to melissa and she was saying how close she is with her mom and that she wouldn't mind that. >> no. she started like crying when she talked about her mom. >> jimmy: she did. she almost started crying. >> it's beautiful. >> jimmy: which was uncomfortable for me. ever lfr you' you're not going to do that, are you? >> she's amazing. >> jimmy: do you make a kind of mother-daughter type bond with her when you're playing mother-daughter or is it just work? >> yeah, we definitely -- i felt like i learned a lot from her. i'm just such a big fan of hers. >> jimmy: she's great. >> she's like one of the most talented, kind people in the world. i was so nervous the first week of filming. >> jimmy: oh, you were. >> just so nervous. and they took us out for drinks

like on the friday after we filmed. and i drank a little bit too much mixed with like the nerves and i stood up and started delivering this speech, and it was a very casual vibe. no one was speaking. and i just shouted, "melissa, you're a second mom to me." and it was just like silence. and i was like, ben, you're the ship that brings us home. thank you for letting me be here. like to warner brothers, to new line. i kept -- it kept getting worse and worse and worse. and i was like, molly, please sit down. please sit down. but i just kept going. >> jimmy: it was like an awards luncheon. >> yes. it was an awards luncheon. it felt like a bar mitzvah vibe mixed with -- >> jimmy: how many days had you been there -- >> four. they did not know me. [ laughter ] they did not know me at all. and i'm the youngest person there. >> jimmy: you're like the mother i just met four days ago. >> did not know them at all. was very embarrassed. >> jimmy: so you did not go to college. >> no. >> jimmy: did you feel like you

got any of it, going and shooting at a college? >> yes. we all lived in the same apartment building. so we all hung out. but no, i don't -- the movie's about sororities, and i knew nothing about it. melissa would ask us, is this what we're supposed to do? i had no idea. that was like the biggest struggle of the movie, was trying to figure out if we were doing the right thing. >> jimmy: and what is the right thing? did you have a sorority consultant? >> we didn't have a consultant. we kind of just winged it. i hope that it's right. >> jimmy: i don't know anything about sororities. but i can't -- i know they have like a handshake and then there are certain like rituals or whatever. >> yeah, there's a ritual scene in the movie that's pretty kooky and crazy. i hope that people will see their experience in that. >> jimmy: will see the ritual. yes. a ritual beating. >> exactly. >> jimmy: yes. >> yeah. i know like theater ritual, like weird like -- >> jimmy: what is a theater rich s ritual? >> like weird games. warm-up games that other people

think are so strange. that's really all ti know. >> jimmy: i got thrown out of a theater class in college because i made fun of the games and they didn't let me back in. [ laughter ] >> they're so strange. >> jimmy: that's what i was saying. >> yeah. they're very, very, very strange. >> jimmy: well, it's great to have you here. congratulations on this big movie. it's called "life of the party." it opens in theaters tomorrow. molly gordon, everybody. we'll be right back with angelique kidjo.
