for larry beil, sandhya patel, all of our hard-working team tonight, thank you for joining us. >> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live!" tonight -- claire danes. from "superfly," jason mitchell. "this week in unnecessary censorship." and music from pusha t. and now, finally, here's jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: very nice, thank you. hi, i'm jimmy, i'm the host of the show. thanks for watching. thanks to all of you for coming. i'm happy to have you here. there's no chanting. we don't have chanting officials. that's very nice. welcome.

hello again to those of you who joined us earlier this evening in primetime, the nba finals tipped off tonight in oakland, california. the golden state warriors against the cleveland cavaliers. these are two teams that are meeting for what, like the fourth -- good news, abc liked it so much they picked it up for a fifth consecutive season. [ laughter ] this is finals number nine for lebron james. and there's a lot at stake. not only are the cavaliers and warriors playing for another ring, they're playing for the chance to reject an invitation to the white house. [ laughter ] which is big. [ cheers and applause ] there's lebron james, look at this. i think lebron is getting taller because his pants don't fit anymore. [ laughter ] he knows cavs is short for cavaliers, not the body part? i got an interesting basketball-related invitation from none other than ted cruz. you may remember -- ted cruz, the guy who once called the hoop the basketball ring on the campaign trail.

which we had a lot of fun with. tuesday night i made mention of the fact that ted cruz was at game seven between the rockets and the warriors in houston. he tweeted a photo of himself from the game, and i noticed that he looked like a blobfish. [ laughter ] so apparently ted got wind of this and last night he tweeted, jimmy kimmel, all right big guy, you talk a good game, you besmirched my support for the houston -- besmirch. he really knows his way around a disk track, this ted. let's settle this man to man, one on one, hoops or ring ball if you prefer, the loser gives $5,000 to the nonpolitical charity of the winner's choice. i immediately went online and googled "how to guard a blobfish." [ laughter ] then i went on twitter and i wrote back, i like this idea, i'll accept on one condition, we both wear very short shorts. which will be great, right? [ cheers and applause ] wouldn't you like to see ted

cruz -- ted in those little '80s larry bird shorts? he wasn't as enthusiastic about that idea. he wrote, as borat demonstrated conclusively, nobody wants to see that and abc would probably be fined by the fcc. how about this, you dress yourself, i'll do the same, play to 10, by ones, win by two. to try again i wrote, crop tops? [ laughter ] that didn't fly either. he wrote, jimmy kimmel, never mind the dress code. now i'm annoying him. [ laughter ] we can play to 10 or 21 or 50, your choice, adam carolla can provide color commentary. well, first of all, if we played to 50, we'd both be dead by the end of the game. [ laughter ] maybe that's the way to go, sacrifice myself for the good of the land. this could be a real thing. why he wants to do this i have no idea. you really want to play basketball against a talk show host? you already lost an election to a reality show host, isn't that enough? [ laughter and groans ] if he wants to do it, i feel

that i have to do it, right? besides, who needs to watch lebron and kevin durant again when we can instead focus on two out of shape white men in their 50s with little to no athletic ability instead? [ laughter ] yes, ted cruz, i do accept your challenge. i will play you one on one. [ cheers and applause ] i will not underestimate you. i know you run some kind of basketball league for senators, you probably think you're good. i know you played basketball when you were younger. i saw the picture in your high school yearbook. [ laughter ] but i will warn you of what happened the last time someone challenged me to play one on one. >> all right, you ready? here we go. >> put it this way, if he scores on me, i'll come on his show buck naked. >> look at that how about that! >> jimmy: senator, i played against shaquille o'neal. i know shaq. shaq is a friend of mine. and you, senator cruz, are no shaquille o'neal. [ laughter and applause ]

got to figure out the details. maybe we should do this the monday before the midterms. it would be fun to see him lose twice in one week, right? [ audience groaning ] guillermo, we're doing two a days every day starting this weekend, you be ready. >> guillermo: i'm ready, yeah. >> jimmy: okay. i'm going to play basketball with ted cruz. here's another sentence i never thought i'd say. yesterday, kim kardashian met with president trump. [ laughter ] to discuss prison reform. for real. there they are. star of america's number one reality show, and kim kardashian. [ laughter ] did this actually happen or did roseanne slip us all an ambien? [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] like madame tussauds come to life. kim was reportedly supposed to meet with jared kushner about this subject, but surprise surprise, guess who showed up when he heard she was there. trump was like, hey, i need to have a meeting with somebody named kim this month. [ laughter ]

kim kardashian, believe it or not -- [ applause ] in all seriousness, she has a lot of compassion for the incarcerated, because you know, she herself once spent an hour locked in a fitting room at a zara. and that's when she became an activist. i think it's cool that kim -- she did this, she didn't have time to do this, nba playoffs, which, you know. that's right in the middle of the kardashian mating season, so good for her. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] unfortunately for kim's cause, donald trump's idea of prison reform is to give pardons to everyone he likes. today he pardoned a far right wing pundit named dinesh d'souza who happens to have made an anti-hillary movie. he says he might pardon martha stewart and commute the sentence of rob blagojevich. sounds like somebody's putting together his own "ocean's 11" team or something. [ laughter ] martha stewart and rob

blagojevich were both on "the apprentice." basically if you were ever on "the apprentice," you're free to commit any crime you like during the trump presidency. if gary busey finds out about this, we're all in a lot of trouble. [ laughter ] very fishy. you know, normally presidents do give pardons, but typically they give them at the end of their term. who knows, maybe trump knows something we don't. [ cheers and applause ] wait, this is something. this is something you really have to see to believe. there's a televangelist from louisiana, jesse duplantis, hoping for a miracle, asking viewers to send him money so that he may be able to buy a $54 million jet. for real. this is his pitch. and while it sounds ridiculous, it already worked. he's had three other private jets, now he wants a new one. here's jesse with his friend, another televangelist, kenneth, explaining why this request isn't coming from him this request is coming from jesus himself.

>> as i was going home the lord, he said real quickly, jesse, do you like your plane? you know, i thought, that's an odd statement. i said, well, certainly, lord. he said, do you really like it? and i thought, well, yes, lord. he said this, so that's it? i didn't know how to handle it. i went what? he said, you're going to let your fate stagnate? when he said that, that shocked me. whoa, wait. i literally unbuckled my seat belt in my plane, i stood up. my pilots looked over, you need something? i said, no, i'm talking to god right now. >> you couldn't have done that in an airliner. >> no, sir. >> stand and up say, what did you say, lord? >> no. >> the guy sitting there saying, what the hell he think he's doing? can't do that. >> no, no. this is so important. the world is in such a shape, we can't get there without this. >> that's right. >> we've got to have this. >> right. >> jimmy: right, put it that way, it makes perfect sense. [ laughter ] you can't get to where -- if god has a sense of humor, i hope they get their private jets and both jets get struck by

lightning. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] jesse and ken net -- and by the way, don't ever give money to guys named jesse and kenneth. they used the late oral roberts as an example of why this private jet is so necessary. >> now oral used to fly airlines. but even back then, it got to the place where it was agitating his spirit. people coming up to him. he had become famous. they wanting him to pray for them and all that. you can't. you can't manage that today. this dope-filled world. >> right. >> get in a long tube with a bunch of demons. >> right, that's exactly it. >> it's deadly. >> it works on your heart, it really does. >> jimmy: yeah, it does. i love it. his justification is basically, have you tried flying commercial? these people are monsters. please give us your money so we don't ever have to be near anyone like you ever again. [ laughter ] by the way, tube filled with demons what is mike pence calls condoms.

[ audience groans and applause ] >> jimmy: unless you have doubts about what the lord might think about this private jet, here's jesse to convince you otherwise. >> i really believe if jesus was physically on the earth today, he wouldn't be riding a donkey. >> jimmy: i don't think i need the whole minute to think about that. please let there be a hell, god, please. [ laughter ] it's thursday night which means it is time to, as we do, bleep and blur the big tv moments of the week, whether they need it or not. it is "this week in unnecessary censorship." >> a woman today, please don't [ bleep ] the squirrels. >> three networks pulled reruns of "roseanne" off the air, abc now [ bleep ] a gaping hole. >> when you boil the series down, one guy is going to try and [ bleep ] off a super-team. >> if you can [ bleep ] on somebody else, you got to be all right getting [ bleep ]ed on. >> after the first night, oh my god, i am in trouble. there are some big [ bleep ]s here.

>> i guess the moral of this next story is don't [ bleep ] your wife. >> now not only is the u.s. completely left out of the process, but donald trump, the master [ bleep ], is at home [ bleep ]ing. >> i know too much about [ bleep ]. i think half the room is [ bleep ]. look at these people. [ bleep ]. i can smell a [ bleep ], believe it or not. got a lot of [ bleep ] at this one. >> laura logan can bottle feed a baby rhino, but can she [ bleep ] one? ♪ ♪ >> jimmy: oh, tom.

[ laughter ] >> jimmy: drake sent pusha an invoice for reviving his career. pusha accused drake of having an ghost writer to write songs and accused him of having an illegitimate child with a porn star, if true drake could become the first canadian president of the united states.

>> jimmy: oh, wow. >> people kept coming up to us in the store saying, we're really excited for tonight! [ laughter ] how do they know? who leaked that? [ laughter ] you know. oh, no, they meant the show, they meant the show. >> jimmy: that's very strange. >> yeah, it was so strange, totally coincidental. so i was going to go into the hospital. i was going to get induced the following morning. but, you know -- i went into labor. naturally. they hooked me up to the machines, they're like, are you feeling these contractions? and i was like, what? no. i'm a very sensitive person but i was not. that eluded me. anyway, it was kind of happening but i was in real denial. it had set in my imagination that this was going to happen the next day. >> jimmy: happen on a scheduled time, right. >> but no. so it started to really kind of come on throughout the night. and my husband was in the next room sleeping. i was like, he needs his rest. anyway.

and i couldn't get to sleep. i was in i guess acute pain. >> jimmy: yeah. >> but i didn't really -- i wasn't clocking any of this. then it occurred to me, like oh, yeah, the finale aired, i wonder what people thought? i was on my phone. you know. 3:00 in the morning or something. when you're looking for, you know, feedback. what you mean is, who hates me and how much? [ laughter ] right, right? >> jimmy: yeah. >> so i was -- >> jimmy: good prep for being a parent, by the way. >> right, exactly, exactly. it didn't take long for me to find the worst possible reviews available on the internet. >> jimmy: wow, that's a double whammy. >> it kind of occurred to me, oh. i think i'm in labor. i think this is happening. and i'm reading bad reviews. [ laughter ] i don't think it gets more masochistic than that. >> jimmy: yeah, no. >> yeah. so anyway, i put the phone down, enough.

>> jimmy: yeah, this time you must stay away from your phone completely. >> yeah, no, i've learned. but you know. the show has already aired, so we're good. >> jimmy: are you a basketball fan? >> i'm a new yorker so that's the one sport we have, right? i'm a fan. i have a big brother, he's asa, he's great, 6'5", a big guy. >> jimmy: your brother? >> yeah, he grew up playing basketball. i guess that's not a given, but he was good. >> jimmy: would you go to his games? >> yeah, i would go to all his games. and i worshipped him. i worshipped him. >> jimmy: you did? >> yeah, and i would go to like a bleacher in the back. and i would lie down. and i would psychically send him all of my energy. >> jimmy: what? >> so he could perform his best on the court. >> jimmy: for real? >> yeah, for frickin' real. yeah. >> jimmy: and did it work? >> yeah! >> jimmy: it worked. >> yes. obviously. no but it was like a very zen form of cheerleading.

marriage. they suddenly become nervous that their kid might be -- might register as other, or be vulnerable in this way, it makes them frightened. it's about that experience of taking that in. and they work through it. but i think it's a very beautiful story. >> jimmy: well, don't ruin it, let people watch the end. >> yeah, yeah. >> jimmy: congratulations to you. >> thank you so much. >> jimmy: on the movie and the baby as well. >> thank you. >> jimmy: claire danes, everybody.
