for laughing. do the 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 -- i think the third one was vanderpump-slovenia. you 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 whether he agrees with his 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. according 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 far 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 making a sequel to the "emoji" movie. [ laughter ] 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 chafing 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 you use the bathroom with those giant rubber hands that you have? [ indiscernible mumbling ] >> jimmy: can you repeat that? oh. we've got another spider-man there too. [ laughter ] 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.

i go 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 a guy did tell 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 the kids! come here, i do it for the kids! >> jimmy: how excited these children are to see you. >> he's excited. 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. when we come back, we will go live to times square where i will try to guess if people on the street are new yorkers or not. so stick around, we'll be right back.

[ 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 to 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. and i said, why? and he said, recently billy joelle 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 diaper and put your hair in a bun. >> jimmy: jim gaffigan is with us. his special is called "noble ape." we'll be right back.

>> 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.

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 of stuff here. it's called "noble ape." get it on -- first find the comedy dynamics network. then watch jim gaffigan's special "noble ape."

butter and jelly sandwich. how much does a necklace like that cost? be honest. >> it depends. i kind of already had that, the necklace, just added the diamonds to the piece. >> jimmy: what's the total value? >> top secret. >> jimmy: hey, boys, daddy spent all your college money on a necklace! >> i got the college funds. >> jimmy: how many kids do you have? >> five. >> jimmy: oh, five. are the other kids going to be jealous they didn't get to come? >> yeah. >> jimmy: they are, yeah. by the way, i do have a bone to pick with you. i don't want to start on a negative note. i bet $1,000 on you to win "dancing with the stars." >> i know. i really appreciate you supporting me in that, too. >> jimmy: yeah, but i would have appreciated if you supported me. [ laughter ] you did not win, you lost. and then i, in turn, lost $1,000. >> i got you after the show. >> jimmy: you do, really. maybe i'll pick one little diamond off of that necklace. [ laughter ] [ applause ] then i think we would be square. was that a fun experience doing that? >> oh, that was super exciting.

>> jimmy: did you care about losing or was it like, oh, who cares really? it's just dancing. >> you never want to lose. going against a guy like that, you know. >> jimmy: look at these two nuts wrestling with each other. you know, we don't usually have guests fight with each other, kids. first of all, for people who don't follow football, being on the cover of "madden" is like a great honor. it's like a big deal, right? [ cheers and applause ] but it's also a top secret thing. how long before the announcement did you know that you were going to be on the cover? >> i knew since february that i was going to be on the cover. >> jimmy: okay. and then about a month before the announcement, your father posted this on instagram. he wrote, the look when your son is on the cover of 2019 madden, god is good. he did this well before it was supposed to be announced, right? >> yeah.

>> jimmy: and so then do you -- what happens? do you call him right away? >> call him right away like, what are you doing? >> jimmy: yeah. did he have any idea that it was supposed to be secret? >> he knew. >> jimmy: he knew it was supposed to be secret and he didn't care, he did it anyway. >> he wanted to be the first one. >> jimmy: and what did the people at madden say about that? >> just hit him up. >> jimmy: i guess it doesn't matter. because they don't put you on twice anyway, right? >> yeah, you only get one time. >> jimmy: you also have the distinction of being the only player ever to appear without a helmet on. was that your decision? >> obviously, right?
