jimmy kimmel live tlt, j gaffigan. from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live." tonight, jim gaffigan, from the pittsburgh steelers antonio brown, this week in unnecessary censorship, and music from imagine dragons. and now, without further ado, here's jimmy kimmel. [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: very nice. thank you. hi, hola. i'm jimmy, i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. thank you for coming. thank you for joining us. i know many of you are visiting us here in the united state of

california. you know, there's talk -- i don't know if you heard about this. there was an initiative on the california state ballot that, if it passed, would separate the state, california, into three different states. but the california supreme court just put the kibosh on it, so it will not be on the ballot in november, which i have to say is a shame. the names they picked out for the new states were adorable. we would have been split into kim-ifornia, khloe-ifornia -- you can't 0 can't break up california. you know how much beach boy songs that would ruin? all of them. president trump had another busy day trying to pull his weiner out of a lawnmower. [ laughter ] the president has been working very hard to distance himself from himself. as you know he pretty clearly sided with vladimir putin over our own u.s. intelligence agencies after his meeting with

putin in helsinki. he said he believed putin when he said he didn't try to influence our election and people are going nuts over this. and i get that, i do. i want to defend the president just a little bit. people are calling him a traitor, they're calling him a liar, a coward. not just democrats. he's being hammered by people in his own party too. i want you to really be honest. if someone had a tape of hookers going number one, possibly number two on you, you would do the same thing, okay? admit it. [ cheers and applause ] it would be like, oh, vladamir, he's a good dude, he would never do anything sneaky like that right? in an interview on cbs last night the president was asked again were thehether he agrees s own national intelligence director, dan coats, who says russia continues to this day to attack us in cyberspace. >> coats says the threat is ongoing. do you agree with that? >> i'd accept that. he's an expert, this is what he does, he's been doing a very good job. i have tremendous faith in dan

coats. if he says that, i would accept that. i will tell you, though, it better not be. it better not be. >> jimmy: just so i'm clear. he believes it's happening, but it better not be happening. [ laughter ] it's like we elected the riddler, it's confusing. [ laughter ] on top of all that another plot twist to the failing "new york times" two weeks before his inauguration trump got a full briefing from the intelligence lead there's showed unequivocally that vladimir putin personally ordered russian meddling in our election. they showed him e-mails, text messages from russian intelligence agents, which means trump has specifically known who interfered with this election the whole time. and it wasn't, as he suggested, a 400-pound guy sitting on his bed or others as he keeps saying. it was his kgbff vladimir putin. and that is hard to swallow. that would mean our president, donald j. trump, has been lying.

♪ dum dum dum but none of it is true, of course. because the media is the enemy of the american people. that's what he tweeted this morning. but despite that, president trump had the courage to meet that enemy head-on today as he sat down with his adversaries at cnbc. >> i have been cfar tougher on russia than any president in many, many years. maybe ever. but look at the sanctions i've put on. look at the diplomats i threw out. look at all of the things that i've done. nobody else did what i've done. obama didn't do it. obama was a patsy for russia. he was a total patsy. >> jimmy: i think what he's doing is called projecting. [ laughter ] i mean, he might as well say obama has a comb-over. it's that blatant. might as well say we wouldn't be in this position if obama wasn't so fat. [ laughter ] and we still don't know what went on in that meeting. in fact, putin is now talking about the agreements he made with trump. we don't know what they are

because there was no one else there. it was just them and their translators. democrats actually tried to subpoena trump's translator today to ask what the hell went on. but republicans blocked it because they were worried they might find out what the hell went on. it's been a horrible week for republicans in congress who are said to be dispirited and glum following the president's disastrous performance. everyone is down. everyone except mike pence. he's been walking around whistling "hail to the chief." they say he's been doing a suspicious amount of skipping. [ laughter ] and with all this going on, all of this happening, they announce today that the president has invited putin to washington, d.c. for real. discussions are under way for a putin visit to the white house sometime this fall. it was a surprise to everyone, including trump's director of national intelligence, dan coats, in the middle of a live interview with andrea mitchell when he got the news. >> we have some breaking news. the white house has announced on twitter that vladimir putin is

coming to the white house in the fall. >> say that again? [ laughter ] >> vladimir putin -- >> did i hear you -- >> yeah, yeah. >> okay. >> yeah. that's going to be special. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: it will be a special visit indeed. that's a great idea, another meeting between them. a diplomatic equivalent of meeting a sequel to the emoji movie. comic-con is under way, which means the i.t. guy from work is in a starbucks squeezing into a deadpool onesie in san diego. comic-con, the only convention where every one of the city's hotel rooms are full for five days, no one gets an std the whole time. if you're heading to comic-con, it's supposed to hot in san diego, be sure to keep your aquaman properly hydrated.

never leave him in a car with the windows up. many of the thousands of fans who go to comic con like to dress up as their favorite characters. i thought it might be wise to get tips from our favorite characters, the hollywood boulevard superheroes. these brave men and once in a great while women, every day they wear their costumes in the hot sun, take photos with tourists for tips. these are the real heroes. a few of them are assembled outside our theater. we have superman, spider-man, and the incredible hulk are there. [ cheers and applause ] so gentlemen, you look great. are any of you going to comic-con this weekend? >> no. >> no. >> jimmy: no, okay. i thought maybe you might be able to share advice on dressing up for those who are going, like superman, where do you keep your wallet when you are -- oh in that fanny pack? >> fanny pack. >> jimmy: is it okay for superman to have a fanny pack? >> yeah. >> jimmy: it is, okay, all right. it can be black, it can be any

color, doesn't have to coordinate with the costume? never mind, superman. spider-man, first of all, where's your mask, spider-man? oh, it's right there, okay. where did you get your costume? >> i found it at a thrift shop. >> jimmy: all right. and do you ever experience shaving in that thing? >> oh, yeah. i carry baby powder. >> jimmy: oh, you do, all right. and this has got to be the worst costume in the world, the incredible hulk. how do yous use the bathroom with those giant rubber hands that you have? [ indiscernible humbling ] >> jimmy: oh, we've got another spider-man there too. hulk, i'm sorry, i can't understand. i can't understand what you're saying. how do you go to the bathroom with those hands? >> i told you. [ cheers and applause ]

i just -- i go -- i go right -- right in the suit. guy in the suit. >> jimmy: oh, wait a minute, jon stewart, you play the incredible hulk out there on hollywood boulevard? >> oh yeah. i mean, not -- i wouldn't say incredible. but adequate. i play an adequate hulk. i do. >> jimmy: how long have you been doing this? >> out here? >> jimmy: yeah. >> well, i left "the daily show" august 6th, 2015. and then i -- august 7th, 2015, was the next day. >> jimmy: that's crazy. i didn't know that. how are you doing tip-wise today? >> not as good money-wise as i would like. but guy did t me i should go [ bleep ] myself, which technically is a tip. >> jimmy: no -- >> it is a tip. >> jimmy: i don't know if that is a tip. >> it's a tip, jimmy. >> jimmy: it is a tip? >> i don't do it for money, i do it for t

come her i for thekids! >> jimmy: how excited the children are to see you. >> he'scid. the sparkle in the little boy's eyes when he hears the sound of the hulk flying in the hulk-copter! hulk fly, arrgh! >> jimmy: what's a hulk-copter? >> it's my -- the hulk's private helicopter. >> jimmy: the hulk does not have a helicopter. >> he's got a [ bleep ] hulk-copter! >> jimmy: he does not. >> i'm the hulk! i know what i fly! >> jimmy: all right. >> don't make me angry, jimmy, you wouldn't like me when i'm angry. >> jimmy: may i ask -- >> you wouldn't like me when i'm angry. >> jimmy: what happens when you're angry? >> my back hurts and i get quiet. >> jimmy: okay, all right. nobody wants that. i'll let you get back to work. thank you, jon. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: thank you, superman. thank you, spider-man. wow. that's amazing. those three guys have ten emmys between them, it's incredible. we're going to take a break.

>> jimmy: welcome back to the show. still to come, antonio brown and music from imagine dragons is on the way. first, from time to time i like to play a game with some of the people who pass by our studio in hollywood, called "foreigner or not." i guess if pedestrians are foreigners or not. we've won a lot of awards for this. but tonight we decided to mix it up a bit. tonight we are going to times square to play a slightly different version -- called "new

yorker or not?" cousin sal's in new york. hey, cousin cal. >> sal: what's happening? >> jimmy: hi, everyone. everything's good here. cousin sal, you are a new yorker, correct? >> sal: you think i'd be wearing this embarrassing hat if i wasn't? i am, yes. >> jimmy: it's sad to be a mets fan, yes. the way this works is sal will bring in a pedestrian, i will try to guess if he or she is a new yorker or not. let's meet our first pedestrian. we've instructed all of our participants tonight not to speak so that their accents don't immediately give them away. hi, what's your name? okay, good, you listen to instructions. you've been appropriately prepped. but i also now know that you speak english, or at least i think you speak english. okay. let's take a look here. let's see. it's thursday night in new york, in times square. most of the people in times square aren't from new york, usually. let's pan down and get a look at the shoes. i want to see if these are

vacation shoes. yeah, those are vacation shoes. i'm going to say you are not a new yorker. >> sal: all right, show him. >> jimmy: oh, i'm wrong! where are you from? >> brooklyn, new york. >> jimmy: oh, yeah, boy. you really are a new yorker. what is your name? >> celeste. >> jimmy: celeste, well, thank you. well, celeste, what do you give someone named celeste? you give them a pizza, of course. there's a pizza for you, celeste, enjoy it. let's have a look at that, sal. okay, thank you, celeste. thank you so much. >> sal: that's the real thing. >> jimmy: all right, i'm 0 for 1. i'm usually good at this stuff. it's harder with the city. who do we have out there, cousin sal? oh, hi, there. what's your name? okay, yeah, all right. i heard a little something there. but i still don't know whether he's from new york or not. you do have -- okay, you got the yankees hat on. that might mean -- almost nothing.

let's pan down to see whether you have vacation shoes on or not. okay, those could be anything. that could be anything. wow. a lot going on with those jeans, though, huh? yeah. they look expensive. how much did those jeans cost you? just hold up the number of fingers in hundreds. that they cost. >> sal: how many hundreds? >> jimmy: he won't even -- >> sal: embarrassed. >> jimmy: i am going to say you are not a new yorker. are you a new yorker? >> sal: all right, tell him. good call. >> jimmy: oh, new jersey, that's pretty close. what's your name? >> rasheed. >> jimmy: rasheed, can you tell us how much the pants were? >> $90. >> jimmy: $90, that's not bad, all right. rasheed, thank you so much. we have a special new york gift for you. it is a pizza, a new york pizza. thank you, rasheed. all right. who is next? sal? we have?

[ laughter ] maybe now, after six specials, i'll be good enough for his name. >> jimmy: speaking of dads, you are -- last time you were here you had two kids. >> right. >> jimmy: that has now multiplied. >> yeah. there's five. >> jimmy: to five children. how does this keep happening? >> i don't know. but it's got to stop. [ laughter ] it really has to stop. there's too many of them. i love them, but i enjoy being away from them. >> jimmy: five is a lot. five is really a lot. >> it's a lot. >> jimmy: are they with you here in los angeles? >> no, they're not. i try to make a point of traveling with my kids. >> jimmy: you do. >> i do, i don't want to be away too much. when i'm not with them and i travel, in between those moments of guilt are just hours of happiness. [ laughter ] joy and naps. it's amazing. >> jimmy: joy and naps really

are the same thing. it's almost redundant, right? >> it's the best. >> jimmy: will you take them on vacations with you? or is it just too much? >> i did some international shows recently. i did some shows in europe and i brought my kids with me. you know. if jet lag is hard, just wait till you do it with a 5-year-old with jet lag. >> jimmy: yeah, right. >> but it was amazing. it was fun. i'd do a show, then we'd do tourist types of things. like in amsterdam i took my kids, age 5 and 14, i took them to the anne frank house. which was a very somber and moving experience. but i wanted to show them this. and of course, you know, my 7-year-old was like, did they have wi-fi? [ laughter ] i'm like, don't talk about that. but i bought tickets online. right? for the anne frank house. i googled it. and the anne frank house has 4.4 out of 5 stars. [ laughter ]

who is giving the anne frank house a bad review? it's like, uh, it's kind of crowded. uh, it's kind of boring. it was one guy gave it one star. first of all, anne frank house, no stars should be applied, right? >> jimmy: a starless endeavor, yes. >> i try and bring them, you know? >> jimmy: another indignity for the frank family. >> show a little culture. it's like i can't win. >> jimmy: what else did you guys do? imagine bringing little kids -- >> i love it. we've spent -- we ended up spending two weeks in ireland. i did a show there. i truly love doing international shows. it's amazing. >> jimmy: you do? is it hard to do a show in another country? >> i mean, it's -- it's another country. >> jimmy: yeah, right. you say things, they might not get what you're talking about. >> that's some of the fun is you don't know what's going to work. you also don't know the celebrities. there are famous people in other countries where you're like, i don't know who this guy is. you guys are going crazy for

him. so i arrived at my dublin show, it was a small theater, and i was doing the sound check. the sound check, the sound engineer goes, is there anything special you'll be doing in your show? and i said, well, as a joke, i said i'll probably be closing out my show singing "ragland road." a famous irish folk song. he goes, i don't know if that's a good idea. recently billy joel did it. and i said, who's billy joelle? he said, you don't know who billy joelle is? i'm like, i'm not from ireland, i don't know who is famous here. he goes, billy joelle is from america. i'm like, oh my gosh, there's a famous american that lives in ireland that i've never heard of. he goes, billy joelle, he wrote "uptown girl." he wrote "the piano man." and i was like, that's billy joel.

for a second i kind of doubted myself. is it billy joel? then my opening act came in and i told him, this guy thinks billy joel is billy joelle. he looked at me, it is billy joelle. i was like, i think i'm going to go with how billy joel pronounces his name. >> jimmy: yeah, right, which is not joelle. >> and i was like, is there no one in ireland named joel? no, we call them joelle. what if someone was named joelle? they're like, they wouldn't exist. it's absurd. >> jimmy: yeah sounds like this guy might want to get a job in the lighthouse right now. very confusing. which of all the countries you've been to, i assume you've been to a number, which is your favorite one to go to? >> i love japan. i mean, the japanese are just better at being human. they just are. the japanese toilet, you're familiar. >> jimmy: oh, yes. >> the japanese toilet washes you. it dries you. it does your taxes.

and that was in the tokyo airport. you leave a japanese public restroom cleaner than when you walked in. you leave an american public restroom with ptsd. >> jimmy: best-case scenario. >> it's unbelievable. >> jimmy: yeah, they do have good toilets there. >> it's amazing. generally the entire time i was in japan i felt overweight, probably because i am overweight. generally the japanese are thin. if you get really fat in japan, they make you sumo wrestle. in japan, they make their fat people fight each other. to entertain the thin people. and the fat people in japan go along with it. why am i doing this? it's prestigious. you try and push that other fat-ass out of the circle. first throw on this deeper and put your hair in a bun. >> jimmy: jim gaffigan is with us. his special is called "noble ape." we'll be right back.

jim gaffigan is here. oh jim, so your comedy special is called "noble ape," on the comedy dynamics network.

is that a real thing? >> i think -- no, i don't think so. >> jimmy: what that is? >> it's comedy dynamics, it's this company -- you know, you do a special and there's different distributions, there's netflix, there's hbo, there's comedy central. comedy dynamics is this guy, this friend who started this -- he goes, let me distribute it, i'll have it -- he calls it comedy dynamics network, but it's really just everywhere you rent or buy things. it's available in itunes, x-box, amazon -- he's trying to build the name. >> jimmy: at your expense this is the album right here. it's also -- you put the audio from your television comedy special on a vinyl. is this vinyl? >> it's interesting. this is vinyl. vinyl is so popular now. >> jimmy: it is. >> it's amazing. it's come back. because we're in this digital age, i think people want -- >> jimmy: i'd love to have a comedy album in vinyl.

that reminds me of my youth. >> you get a download also. >> jimmy: you get the vinyl and not listen to it ever, is that how it works? >> i think that's it. my wife had this, shaped like a pear -- >> jimmy: i'm sorry i didn't mention, how is your wife? >> she's doing great. wouldn't it be ironic if i said, she died? >> jimmy: it would be worse than ironic, it would be horrible. >> back to my album. >> jimmy: we'd have to take "the noble" off, it would be just "ape." >> no, she's doing amazing. by the way, i don't want to take it for granted because, you know, we are the beneficiary of miracles. it's truly a miracle -- >> jimmy: the doctors -- >> i mean, she had a tumor the size of a pear removed from her head. you know what i mean? it's insane. and the medical science, you know, really saved her life. so i'm very grateful for it. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: the family right here, right? >> this is some of -- these are my kids. i don't know their names.

then the album, barry blankenship designed this, genius. the other one has my head. there's an album -- >> jimmy: so people can buy two sets of these. >> the other one has a bald spot. >> jimmy: all right. >> that's my signature piece. my bald spot. >> jimmy: your wife is doing well thousand? >> she's doing great. >> jimmy: she's your partner? >> we do everything. >> jimmy: besides your lover partner -- >> she is. you're married to a funny, brilliant woman. i'm married to a funny, brilliant woman. it's amazing. there was a scary time there. you know, i was going to lose my wife. the mother of my children. and more importantly, my writing partner. [ laughter ] i'm joking. i'm joking. but it was scary. >> jimmy: is it hard to make jokes about that subject when you're in the thick of it? >> well, yeah, in the thick of it, i couldn't. you know? but once we kind of got through the woods -- i mean, my wife is just -- you know, we kind of

think in a comedy sense. i'm sure it's the same with you guys. it's like my wife was in an mri for 2 1/2 hours. she came out and i was kind of waiting and she was like, "write down these ideas i have on mris." and i was like, uh, okay. she's always thinking of things. >> jimmy: that's great. that's good. that is what she should have been thinking about at that time. >> it's just -- comedy is a great way to distract and organize your thoughts around severe events. when i was touring with "noble ape," obviously people don't have loved ones that have brain tumors, necessarily, but we all have that medical crisis. we all share those couple of weeks in a hospital where you're just lost and staring and looking at how filthy and disgusting hospitals are. you know what i mean? we all share that. >> jimmy: some of them are, yeah, for sure. it's very funny the stuff that you talk about on the special when it comes to that. i also read this, it sounds wrong to me. i want to run it by you.

is it true that over the course of the next two years you are in 13 movies that are coming out? >> it's absurd. but it is true. >> jimmy: 13. >> but some of it is -- movies, you know -- they shoot -- some of them are animated. >> jimmy: right. >> so i did some voice-over -- >> jimmy: "hotel transylvania 3." >> like from the early '60s, you know what i mean? some of them are just -- they just end up coming out during this 13-month period. but some of them i'm shooting now. but yeah, so "hotel transylvania 3," very exciting. i brought my kids to a theater, we watched it. it was the first time that my 5-year-old kind of understood what i did. >> jimmy: oh. >> he was looking at the screen, he was like, so that's what you do? and it was the first time he was ever impressed by me. >> jimmy: oh, wow. >> prior to that i was just this guy that ate most of the food at the dinner table. but he was like, yeah, i guess you're worth it. you do something. >> well, that's what it's all about, right? well, this is the -- i got a lot
