this time tomorrow maybe we'll celebrate a warriors victory. appreciate your time. i'm dan ashley. >> i'm alma daetz. for >> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live"! tonight, keri russell, from "better things," pamela adlon, and music from "american idol" winner maddie poppe. and now, for the most part, here's jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: thanks, welcome! relax! very kind. thk you. hi, i'm jimmy, i'm the host of the show. thanks for watching. thanks for coming. there we are. we are back to work. hope you had a good three-day

weekend. i had a great weekend. i spent all day saturday and sunday reading up on how the new european privacy laws affect my accounts. i got really heavy into gdpr, anybody else? [ laughter ] then last night i had such a busy night of tv watching. i watched the nba game, the hockey game, and "the bachelorette." it was a big night of sports for me. [ cheers and applause ] "bachelorette's" a sport. for reasons unknown, game seven of warriors/rockets series was on at the same time as the game one of the stanley cup finals between the capitals and the vegas golden knights. i grew up in vegas, i wanted to watch. this is their first season. they made it to the cup. i also didn't want to miss game seven. fortunately for me my home is basically a buffalo wild wings store. tvs everywhere. i was able to watch hockey and basketball simultaneously on split screen, which was confusing, but also amazing because i got to witness something i'd never seen before.

again, i had both games on at once. and this happened. lil john was being interviewed at the hockey game. all of a sudden out of the corner of my eye, lil wayne shows up at the basketball game. [ cheers and applause ] a double lil. i was very excited. unfortunately, no one else in my house was excited. [ laughter ] i was like, oh my god, lil wayne and lil john! my wife's like, i'm trying to give the kids a bath. the golden knights took game one. our matchup for the nba finals is set. another reboot, the golden state warriors will meet the cleveland cavaliers for the fourth year in a row. at this point, why do we even bother having other basketball teams? [ laughter ] the warriors pulled out a come from behind win on the road against the rockets, who had the best record of any other team during the regular season. the rockets missed 27 three-pointers in a row last night. i think i know why. look who was in the crowd. none other than basketball superfan ted cruz.

sporting the super-cool t-shirt over a polo look. can you be embarrassed by a picture of someone else's dad? because i am. [ laughter ] when ted arrived at the toyota center, some of the fans mistakenly thought it was grandpa muenster bobblehead night. i mean, look at him. [ cheers and applause ] he looks, and i'm not joking here, he looks like a blobfish. [ laughter ] look at that. the new rockets mascot. it's not that surprising senator cruz was at the game. if anyone, anyone knows basketball, it's this guy. >> you know, the amazing thing is, that basketball ring here in indiana, it's the same height as it is in new york city. >> jimmy: basketball ring. touchdown. so houston is out and lebron james is in. it's his eighth consecutive nba finals. a lot of people were surprised lebron was able to get this team to the finals because he doesn't have an especially strong

supporting cast. at this point i think lebron could take the cast of "grace and frankie" to the finals. [ laughter ] the cavaliers are heavy underdogs at 10-1. i'll tell you something, you know who else was an underdog? president donald jehovah trump. that's right. and he won. that he will tell you. the president had an all-timer on twitter yesterday. he's had a lot of good ones but this was his memorial day message. happy memorial day. good start. those who died for our country would be very happy and proud at how well our country is doing today, best economy in decades, lowest unemployment numbers for blacks and hispanics ever, and women in 18 years, rebuilding our military, and so much more, nice. [ laughter ] like he's borat. he ends with, "nice!" [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] for most people, memorial day is a day to honor our fallen soldiers. for donald trump, it's a day for our fallen soldiers to honor him.

[ laughter ] so he was asked over the weekend about his wife, melania. the first lady hasn't been seen for 19 days. after having what was thought to be a routine kidney procedure. and of course reporters are now starting to wonder how and where she is. >> i don't know, i'm not familiar with the case. but it's really too bad. really too bad. >> how's melania? >> she's doing great, right there. she's doing great. she's looking at us right there. >> jimmy: well, wait a minute. mother? is that you? [ laughter ] for the president, though, it's been business as usual. he gave a commencement speech on friday at the u.s. naval academy where he spoke to the graduating class about the importance of himself. >> so to the naval academy of the class of 2018, i say a number of things. number one, i say that i was given an option.

i could make this commencement address, which is a great honor for me, and immediately leave and wave good-bye. or i could stay and shake hands with just the top 100. or i could stay for hours and shake hands with one thousand, one hundred and something. what should i do? what should i do? >> stay, stay! >> stay? i'll stay, i'll stay! >> jimmy: wow, what a guy, he's going to stay. isn't that a surprise. then he lined up and let every one of them shake his little hand. [ laughter ] everyone was very happy. it goes on. it's like a game show every day. so the president had a lot to say to the naval academy graduates. there's a bronze statue of --

depicting a warrior named tecumseh at the academy. it's very old. some believe tecumseh has powers, magic powers, including the ability to make the president of the united states mispronounce his name in this special annapolis edition of "drunk donald trump." [ tape playing slowly ] >> from the all-powerful tecum-shah. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: tecum-shah. all right, we have to take a break. when we come back, we have a new season of "the bachelorette" on abc. we're going to go through that. i'm going to tell you who is going to win "the bachelorette" this year. and i'll tell you everything i know about roseanne. we'll get into all that next, so stick around, we'll be right back.

i was eating a milky way. hey pass me that bug spray. at least it was spf 50. mmm... sorry.

>> jimmy: hi, everybody. welcome back to the show. keri russell, pamela adlon, and music from "american idol" maddie poppe is on the way. first, before that, i want to extend congratulations to weatherman burton fitzsimmons from the spectrum news team of austin, texas, our memorial day weekend winner for "excellence in reporting."

>> a whole lot of heat going on here. happy memorial day. i'm chief meteorologist burton fitzsimmons. make sure you never leave pets or kids in a car. i'm going to get yelled at for saying pets first. i know somebody's going to call. let me try it again. five, four, three -- oh, a whole lot of heat going on here. happy memorial day. i hope you're keeping comfortable and cool. i'm chief meteorologist burton fitzsimmons. just a friendly reminder, never leave kids or pets in a car unattended. >> jimmy: that's right. in that order. [ cheers and applause ] or burton will hit you over the head. last night on abc, a new season of "the bachelorette." starring bachelorette becca. this is a big event at our house. my wife molly, watching "the bachelorette" with my wife is like waking up and finding out

you're married to a soccer hooligan. [ laughter ] she watches it with fists like curled up in a ball. i don't even know who she is. i just sit there going, what the hell is happening here? when the guys start pulling up in the limos to greet the bachelorette, she mows through them one by one. while she was watching last night, i couldn't believe it, i started writing down everything she said. she didn't know i was writing it down. [ laughter ] these are real quotes. she's locked into the tv. and i'm just transcribing as fast as i can. again, all real. word for word. you're wearing a red jacket, you're on tv and you're wearing a red jacket, and you rode in on an ox? you are a loser. [ laughter ] blake, you can't marry a guy named blake, what are you going to say, this is my husband, blake? [ laughter ] one guy comes out she goes, get back in the limo, go home. [ laughter ] starts arguing with becca as if becca and her are doing this together.

no, he is not a cutie. oh, good, some [ bleep ] who couldn't get her in high school thinks it's going to work now, go back to minnesota, jake. [ laughter ] there's a guy who dunked a basketball. that is so embarrassing, his first move is i'm going to dunk a basketball over your head? f-off. [ laughter ] then after watching all this, she goes, this is a bad group, i bet becca called the casting director, crying, that night. [ laughter ] then when she was realizing what was happening, she goes, i hate myself for loving this, i have children. [ laughter ] then she spotted a bag of snacks our daughter left on the end table. she goes, oh, i found some cheddar bunnies. once she ate the cheddar bunnies she calmed down. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] it brought out the worst in her. so anyway, the actual bachelorette, becca, began her amazing journey with 28 men, it's whittled down to 21 now.

becca met some interesting fellows last night. the standout, the guy who i believe is our designated d-bag this year, a male model named jordan who i think has some serious "bachelor in paradise" potential. >> i'm jordan, i'm 26, and i am a professional model. my brand is the pensive gentleman. you can have a glass of scotch, a book in his hand, a flower giving it to a lady. i started to realize that i'm so focused on myself, i'm really losing out on potentially sharing myself with someone else. modeling is so much more than being ridiculously good looking. gym year-round, tan year-round, salt spray year-round. so much involved. it's taxing. if i don't get a rose tonight, it's -- it's the biggest upset of all-time. i can't go home, it wouldn't be fair to becca. i'm a fashion model, come on, you know. keep me around. eye candy going on here, that's something, geez. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: when so he seems down to earth. [ laughter ] and of course he got a rose. he won't be the one becca chooses. he'll be around until week six,

because he says too many dopey things for them to vote him off quickly, they have to keep him around. the winner of "the bachelorette," every season at the beginning of the show i pick which contestant i believe will go the distance. really my wife picks them but i take credit for it. [ laughter ] we're good at this. we've picked five of the last six winners on "the bachelor" and four of the past six on "the bachelorette." it's why they call me roast-ra-damus. this might be the worst group of guys yet. women know. these are guys who tried to hook up at the end of the party in college but you weren't quite drunk enough to ve in. they're all assembled here. with that said, here are my final four. number one, ryan. banjo player, seems like a nice guy, has dimples. ryan will make it to the hometown visits. david. even though david dresses as chicken, seem like one of the only guys you won't have to worry will drop a pill in your wine glass. david will be in the final four. then yes, blake. blake seems super cheesy and who

could imagine being married to a man named blake? but becca said they get each other. he may be the guy she goes back to after she dumps the guy she picks. and that man will be -- garrett. becca said, i can see garrett fitting in with my friends and family. which means she already sees a future with him. i think ryan and garrett will be the top two, in the end becca will go with garrett, until she finds out about all the terrible stuff he posted online, then they will break up. but until then, it will be becca and garrett, and may god have mercy on us all. [ cheers and applause ] while we're on the subject of terrible things posted online, the biggest story of the day today was roseanne. roseanne, you're not going to believe this but she tweeted something outrageous. i know, right. the president did it too, it's crazy. [ laughter ] anyway, abc decided to cancel

their highest-rated show "roseanne" following a tweet in which roseanne compared an african-american woman to former adviser to president obama to an ape, which did not sit well with abc management or anyone with a brain. they announced this first season of the show is also its last. which is a huge blow to -- i mean, we don't have much on this network. we're hoping the nba finals goes 11 games this the year. [ laughter ] we're still airing "america's funniest home videos." "roseanne" was a bigly hit for abc and we need it. but i say why -- listen, hear me out. just because roseanne is gone doesn't mean the show has to go the show must go on, that's what we say in show business. that said, i have an idea i think makes this work for everyone. >> america's favorite working-class family is back. with all the cast members you love. >> hey, there, hi, how are you doing?

>> coming to abc this fall -- >> yeah, the job, turns out it's all through. >> "dan." >> oh, come on! >> jimmy: right? i mean, come on. [ cheers and applause ] think. i'm just saying, think. we have a good show. music from american idol maddie poppe. pamela adlon is here. be right back with keri russell so stick around! >> dicky: portions of "jimmy kimmel live" brought to you by takemefishing.org for everything fishing and boating. moderator: okay. we are going to talk about cars today. if you were going to design your perfect car, which three features would you choose? safety with the kids. fuel efficiency. man: affordable price. my dream car would have all of these things. moderator: what if i told you that there was a car that did have everything? seriously? woman: okay. moderator: this is the chevy cruze. man 2: go chevy! get 20% below msrp

>> jimmy: hello, welcome back to the show. tonight, she's a very funny cocreator, star, and director of the show "better things" on fx, pamela adlon is here with us tonight. [ cheers and applause ] then this young woman is the newly crowned winner of "american idol." her new song is called "going, going, gone." maddie poppe from the mercedes-benz stage. [ cheers and applause ] and if you're so inclined you can see maddie on the "american idol" live tour starting july 11 in redding, california. this is exciting, thursday night we are back in primetime for game one of the nba finals. my guests will be kevin hart and we have an all-new, all-nba edition of "mean tweets." that is thursday night before the game at 8/7 central, and after the game on the west coast. guillermo, who are you going to be rooting for? >> guillermo: i just want to see a good series. >> jimmy: i know but in years

past lebron would never talk to you, you had an ax to grind. then at the nba all-star game he gave you an interview. now i assume things are cool between you? >> guillermo: i hope so, jimmy. you'll see tomorrow. >> jimmy: okay. >> guillermo: but i want to see a good series. >> jimmy: you just want to see a good series. that's a great way of saying nothing, guillermo. [ laughter ] until the mueller investigation wraps up, our first guest is this country's number one favorite russian spy. watch the series finale of "the americans" tomorrow night on fx. please welcome keri russell! [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: welcome. it's great to have you here. >> thanks for having me. >> jimmy: it's wonderful to have you. i don't know if you heard about

what happened with roseanne. i think we could use felicity, if you're open to bringing her back. [ cheers and applause ] we have a spot. >> i had coffee with mandy this morning. who played megan. i'll talk to her about it. >> jimmy: see if you can get her off that other show, get it going. >> we'll get it going. >> jimmy: how's everything going? >> things are going really well. >> jimmy: how was your memorial day weekend? >> so good. >> jimmy: really, why was it so good? >> well, mostly because -- so i now have three kids. and i took a trip on my own. like there was no guy, there were no children, there was no one like saying, where are my soccer cleats? why didn't you wash the socks that cover the shin guards? will you come wipe me? i'm like, you're 6! you can wipe yourself! so i like went on this trip on my own. and it was so luxurious. >> jimmy: where did you go? >> usually when i have work in l.a. i take -- i try to carve out this little moment for

myself where i go to san francisco, then i drive down to big sur on my own, and just have like quiet time. to do whatever i want. >> jimmy: and that's the best, right? this family that you love so much -- >> that i love so much. >> jimmy: that you'd die without, just get away from them. >> that's all i want. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: it's all you want. my wife explained this to me in upsetting detail this weekend. this very weekend. she's like, you don't understand, i just want to be away from you and those children. >> yeah. >> jimmy: and i was just like, uh, all right. >> you're like, i guess, give you what you want. >> jimmy: like forever? uh, yeah, maybe. >> kind of, kind of. i keep thinking, maybe i could marry like some 90-year-old billionaire and have this life of luxury. where i go on these trips alone. i think matthew would want that for me. [ laughter ] i think he would actually say, you know, you deserve that. >> jimmy: that's real love. >> you should have that.

you should go to big sur on your own. >> jimmy: i'll stay home and watch the kids. so he stayed home and watched the kids? >> stayed home and watched the kids. i have to say, he's very good at it. so like that is why i can leave. >> jimmy: right, because you know -- well, in a way, he's being punished for being competent. if he was one of those dads you see in the commercials. >> like, you can't do it! >> jimmy: yeah, let's go get these kids a bucket of fried something! and oops, i set the kitchen on fire! then perhaps you would think twice before doing that. >> he's too competent. >> jimmy: even driving you enjoy by yourself? >> oh my gosh, it was so, so nice. just like no one going, i'm going to be sick! you're like, no. i just get to drive and sing my nerdy songs like with the wind blowing in my hair. >> jimmy: what do you listen to when you're driving by yourself? >> so i have this like -- i am so bad at technology. really bad. i still have aol. >> jimmy: you do? [ laughter ] >> i know, i know.

but so i was trying to figure out the thing that makes the -- that you play the radio? like you pick a thing -- >> jimmy: you mean, the radio? [ laughter ] what do you mean, the thing? >> you pick a station based on a band? i'm like, how do you do this? >> jimmy: pandora or spotify? >> you put in a card? >> jimmy: right, right. >> i did bon avere. i'm like, this is great, what are all these cool songs? but i'm old, i'm a mom now -- >> jimmy: you know how to pronounce -- i thought it was bon ivor until recently. >> i did some of that, i don't know. i do everything. >> jimmy: you eat by yourself and everything? >> i do, i go to the restaurant by myself. i'm sure people are like, why is she by herself? >> jimmy: yeah, what's going on? >> we're here having a romantic vacation, who's that weirdo? >> jimmy: you did have a romantic vacation. >> and i'm reading graham greene books. >> jimmy: this sounds like every mom's dream. >> it is every mom's dream. >> jimmy: yeah. [ cheers and applause ]

are you happy, when you return to the children, do you feel a sense of joy? or a sense of ugh? >> both. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: that's very honest, i appreciate you saying that. >> no, it is -- everyone needs a refresher. >> jimmy: for sure. >> you go, oh, this is who i am, outside of all of this, and i'm ready to come back, tell me everything, i'm ready to wipe people again. yes, i'm down with it. >> jimmy: this is one of the great shows in the history of television. i'm sure you hear that all the time. [ cheers and applause ] but not only that. on top of being a great show, you met your significant other on this show. >> this is true. >> jimmy: who was cast first on the show? >> i was cast first. >> jimmy: you were cast first. >> and we sort of had a screen test, i think there were a few other guys in the mix, i remember the director of that first pilot episode said, this is the guy i really like the best. so we were doing this big screen test scene, he's supposed to say something to me.

and he said -- he came up to me and said, really, like really slap me in this scene. and i was like, i don't think i've ever slapped someone in my life. i literally was like, okay. so we did the scene. and i just -- whack! he turned his face back at me, and i could see my handprint. like my red handprint on his face. he didn't even blink. and gavin, who was directing that pilot, was like -- that's my guy. >> jimmy: really, wow. >> yes. >> jimmy: somebody that can be beaten. >> yeah. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: then after he's beaten, left with the children. >> yeah, my guy. you're perfect! >> jimmy: will the finale of the show, and obviously you don't want to say too much. will it be a satisfying finale? is it something that people will feel like the loose ends have been tied up? >> i hope so. i hope -- the guys joe and joel who write our show have sort of had this ending for a long time. and -- i was very satisfied with it. >> jimmy: you were, yeah.

>> and i hope -- >> jimmy: where will you watch the finale? >> we're watching this -- i don't normally watch the show. we sort of live it. but we don't watch it. but i feel like because it's the end and it was such a good experience and i'm so proud of the show, that we're having this thing tomorrow night. i'm going to go watch it with an audience. and watch the end. >> jimmy: that will be fun. yeah, that will be fun. >> or we'll change, like, i did that? eww! >> jimmy: but watching people who are really big fans of the show. >> i hope so, yeah. >> jimmy: how many people would you say your character has killed over the course of this show? >> a couple. >> jimmy: a couple, a few. >> a few. >> jimmy: we're wondering if, you know, the show's been on a while, if you could -- well, here's this game. the game is called "did i murder you?" >> i don't know. i was just doing my job. >> jimmy: well, this is not a place for alibis or excuses. what we're looking for here is you tell me whether or not you murdered this person. beginning with -- did you kill him?

>> wow. i definitely remember some -- wow. i don't remember it. was he a sexy type in a hotel room that went bad? i don't know. >> jimmy: you shot him in the head in season one. >> wow. >> shot him in -- i was like -- shot him in the head? i don't know. could be either. >> jimmy: it was shot him in the head, yeah. next, did you kill him? >> god, he seems too young to kill. but -- i know he died. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: did you kill him? >> i guess? >> jimmy: you did not kill him. >> i'm doing really bad! >> jimmy: we're 0 for 2. this is great. all right, next up. >> wow. >> jimmy: this gentleman. >> who is that guy? >> jimmy: well, he's a pakistani diplomat. >> oh. >> jimmy: uh-huh. >> uh-huh -- i don't think i killed him. >> jimmy: you drowned him in a pool.

you're 0 for 3. >> wait, i don't recognize him with his clothes on. >> jimmy: all right, that's a good out. do you recognize this gentleman? >> i killed him. >> jimmy: you did not kill him. >> i killed him! >> jimmy: that's ben covington from "felicity." do you recognize this gentleman? that's bucky covington from "american idol," sorry. let's get back to the real game. did you kill him? >> i did. >> jimmy: you did, you stabbed him in the back. [ cheers and applause ] did you kill him? >> i did not. >> jimmy: you did not, that is absolutely correct. >> whoo! >> jimmy: did you kill her? >> yeah. >> jimmy: yes, you did. >> i couldn't pronounce her name. >> jimmy: finally, did you kill tony soprano? at the end of "the sopranos"? >> i did. >> jimmy: this is a miracle! >> i did.

[ cheers and applause ] >> and when we made music for my show with jay gresko, the composer, we all got emotional and choked up. there's something for everybody. so there's so many dark days, it's like every day you wake up and it's like, oh my god, who's going to step in it today? who's in trouble? what's happening? is the world going to end? i like to watch apocalyptic movies right now because it makes me feel better. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: really, seeing the world end? >> it's awesome. >> jimmy: cheers you up? >> i watched "2012" the other day. my youngest gets ready for school, leaves for school. 7:00 in the morning. and i was like, good morning! i had an english muffin for her and i put on "2012." and we were -- and i was like, well, the mayans said, whatever. it just makes you feel better.

about what we're dealing with today. >> jimmy: well, it's interesting. a nice reverse way of looking at it, i guess. >> yeah, it's kind of -- >> jimmy: on the show, you have daughters, tv daughters. you have a tv mom. does your real mom live across the street from you? >> my mother lives next door to me. >> jimmy: next door to you. >> yeah. we share a property line. >> jimmy: how did that end up happening, and is that good? >> you know, it's okay. i can threaten her with eviction at any time. >> jimmy: that's good. >> she doesn't care about that. >> jimmy: you do that to your tv mom also. do they know each other? >> they've met. yeah. they hang. when celia is in town -- she lives in the uk. she comes and my mother takes her to the getty where she is really a docent at the getty. >> jimmy: really? >> if you want to meet my mom and get upset during a tour, that's where she is.

"your mother asked me to go to the thing." and i was like, she took you to a screening, oh my god. like they hang out. anyway. >> jimmy: do the tv daughters hang out and learn from each other? >> they know each other, they like each other a lot. my real-life daughters, they chose the girls. i showed them the tapes for casting. and they cast the girls who they thought was best. >> jimmy: wow, that's a weird thing to go through as a kid. >> yes, kind of weird. it's like picking your re-enactor of your life. you know those people who make the crime shows, the crisis people? >> jimmy: yes. it is like that. so now this -- i want to ask you

about a particular episode of the show. the eulogy episode. >> yep. >> jimmy: it really -- it resonated for me. because i could absolutely see my mother doing this. my mother would lay on the ground and pretend to be dead until we cried. [ laughter ] and your character -- >> amazing. >> jimmy: not to that extreme. >> yes. >> jimmy: but you did a similar thing. and explain what that episode was about. >> well, my best friend always would sato me -- she doesn't have kids. i'd say, it's driving me crazy, the girls are fighting! or, nobody cares, nobody cares, nobody appreciates me! or whatever. she would say, "they'll love you when you're dead, they're going to get along when you're dead." i'm like, no, [ bleep ], i want it now! now is when i want it, i don't want to wait till i'm dead! so it was born from that. >> jimmy: uh-huh. >> then being able to like actually do that, like on the day when we did the episode. it was intense.

like we shoot in a real -- somebody's real house practically, so i kicked everybody out of the house, including the girls' moms. i said, we need the house to be clear and everybody to feel safe. and then i took the girls aside. and they were like, you know, it was an intense thing. like you're going into surgery. like how do we get to this place emotionally? and i said, come with me. and i took them to this back room. and i just told them every horrible thing that happened to me in my life. and they were very upset. >> jimmy: really? what? >> yeah. i was just like, you know -- >> jimmy: i feel like cosby never did this with theo and rudy. >> i don't think so. >> jimmy: he definitely didn't do it. >> we hope not. [ laughter ] anyway. use what you know. >> jimmy: right. they were moved by that? >> it was -- it was so -- it was

so moving. and it was like, you know -- literally like you're going into surgery. you know you're going to do a hard thing, you have to open yourself up completely. and, you know -- on the whole, at the end of the day, we'd been crying for hours. and it was just an incredible transformative experience for the girls, for diedrich and rebecca and i and my entire crew who participated in it. i'll never forget it. >> jimmy: the episode is unbelievable. i mean, it really is. the show, besides being funny, it feels so authentic and real. you do an unbelievably great job. >> thank you so much. >> jimmy: if you have not seen the show, you should.
