>> very a good evening. >> from hollywood, it's jimmy kimmel live! tonight julie bowen. rupaul. kim kardashian west. and music from phosphorescent. and now, stay right where you are. it's jimmy kimmel! ♪ ♪ [ cheers and applause ] >> thanks. thank you. thank you very much. how are you? i'm jimmy, i'm the host of the program. thank you very much. thank you for watching at home. thank you for coming. i'm happy to be -- we are back to work after -- we had a week

off. all of a sudden it's christmas. christmas up on us. i woke up one morning there was a tree in my house, swear to god. and an elf has returned to our show. this elf on the shelf, first of all, it works. our daughter jane is 4 years old. that elf is in the room, i don't know who that kid s. she is an angel. yesterday she shared a toy with her brother, first -- in their lives. she has a -- airplane and he wanted it. so instead of tackling him and taking it from him, not only did she share it, she presented to him, like vana white revealing the board on wheel of fortunate. [ laughter ] and then i swear to god, she gives it to him. billy, i know this is mine, but i want you to play with it. and then, i swear to god she did in. she turned and winked at the elf. [ laughter ] she did. [ cheers and applause ]

it's good for that, but there's a lot of work involved with this elf. every night you have to move it. last night i set an alarm so i could get out of bed. i put her to sleep, but i knew she wasn't asleep yet. i set an alarm in my bed so i could go back into her room to move the elf while she was sleeping and i know we're going to forget about it. i can barely keep up with the tooth fairy. [ laughter ] my older kids, the tooth fairy would forget to come for like 21 days in a row. some people go nuts with these elves. they build the nehr joe where the elf is on a skateboard, a tooth pick with a javelin. we're already out of shelves to put him on. last night i stuffed him in a tissue box, but there needs to be a service that comes to your house and moves the elf around for you because tonight we're already out of ideas. tonight i'm just going to duct tape the elf to a roomba and let him move around the room

himself. [ applause ] >> that's what i did this weekend. the president had a busy weekend. the president was in south america, which is the america he hasn't ruined yet. [ laughter ] but he was in -- he was in buenos aires for the g20 summit where he signed a trade deal with mexico and canada. now, there's the president with enrique pen i can enrique pena nieto. all he's signing is his name. [ laughter ] they wait. now they have to switch them around. he piles his on top. no, you sign that one. now, keep in mind, he has 12 letters in his name. donald j. trump. it's not, it's not enrique pena nieto, and there they're waiting again. like he's cheating. let's rotate these around one more time. is this -- all right, there you

go. now they're waiting for him to give them a head start. [ laughter ] and these guys are done, and justin trudeau just hangs out. it's like he's coloring it in or [ laughter ] [ applause ] you know, i think, i think this might be why it took him two months to answer robert mueller's questions. [ laughter ] of course, no trip overseas would be complete without an awkward exchange with the world leaders. so they introduce -- >> the president of the united states of america. >> the president of the united states of america, donald trump. and you can see it already, he's mad that there's no big applause or anything like that. he's used to the rallies. but he greets the president of argentina. and while the photographers are taking pictures, they exchange pleasantries, they talk a little. and then, okay. so now the pictures are done. he shakes his hand again and says whatever, and then wanders off. but it's not -- wait, no, hey,

wait, this guy comes, hey, come back. the you hear the president say -- he says, get me out of here. i guess he got word that the rib was back and he had to go. the president has a habit of doing that sort of thing. he carries himself like a demented grandfather who accidentally wandered into a wedding [ applause ] ♪ ♪ ♪ [ laughter ] ♪ ♪ ♪

>> and they're out. [ cheers and applause ] >> this is another fun encounter between trump and the argentinian president. trump had some trouble with the ear piece they gave him that provided the spanish to english translation. we could hear what was said. >> translator: wow, now that i'm seeing donald trump in person, he is much fatter than i imagine. get a load of this guy. i knew they called him 45. i didn't mean they meant his waist size. he's big, folks. trump is so big, he has to fly an air force one and a half. in honor of president trump, we are changing the name of our country to large-entina. he lives in the white castle house. that red thing around his neck isn't a tie, it's a ketchup stain.

anyway, i'm getting the light, so that's my time. >> yeah, i don't know, he's a funny guy. [ cheers and applause ] get that man a -- and then this morning the president was back on track, back home firing off a series of tweets about the russia investigation. he again went after special counsel robert mueller and took some hard shots at his former lawyer michael cohen. he wrote, michael cohen asked judge for no prison time. you mean he can do all of the terrible unrelated to trump things having to do with fraud, big loans, taxes, et cetera, and not serve a long prison term? he makes up stories to get a great and already reduced deal for himself, and get, dot-dot-dot -- then five full minutes go by. [ laughter ] his wife and father-in-law, who has the money, who has the money? i don't know, off scott free. he lied for this outcome and should, in my opinion, serve a full and complete sentence. this is coming from a guy who can barely tweet a full and

complete sentence. wrote scott free like it's a guy named scott. scott free. [ laughter ] are we sure he doesn't drink? because these are the rantings of someone who is drunk by 9:00 in the morning. but he also -- [ applause ] it wasn't all negative. he also wrote a tweet of support for roger stone, another team trumper who is in the shadow of possible mueller indictment. he wrote, i will never testify against trump. this statement was recently made by roger stone, essentially stating that he will not be forced by a rogue and out of control prosecutor to make up lies and stories about president trump. nice to know that some people still have guts. [ laughter ] nice to see the president carve out time from fox and friends to engage in some good old-fashioned witness tampering. all right. [ laughter ] but trump wants roger stone to know he has his back. by the way, you know you're in trouble when one of the only people you can count on is this guy. [ laughter ] the guy who framed roger rabbit is your only friend?

[ applause ] just in case you're not sure which side of history roger stone falls on, he has -- and this is real -- a tattoo of richard nixon on his back. [ laughter ] and soon a donald trump tramp stamp to add to the collection. [ laughter ] about an hour after that, after all this, he tweets, looking forward to being with the bush family to pay my respects to president george h.w. bush. as he looks forward to paying his respects to a family he spent the last three years disrespecting. my sincere condolences to low energy jeb and his children on this terrible loss. it's important to know our country isn't the only one with high-level naughtiness going on. the president of nigeria is defending himself against an you think usual accusation -- this is a real tweet from muhammad du buhari. he wrote, one of the questions that came up today with my neerjs in poland was on the issue of whether i've been cloned or not. the ignorant rumors are not

surprising. when i was away on medical vacation last year, a lot of people hoped i was dead. the president was out of the country for more than three proz la months last year. there was a rumor they replaced him with a clone, which means they planned this when he was born, i guess. [ laughter ] he says that is not true. he says, i can assure you all that this is the real me. later this month i will celebrate my 76th birthday and i am still going strong, which is exactly what a clone would say in that situation. [ laughter ] so, i don't know. i mean -- [ cheers and applause ] but imagine that. a clone president. kind of reminds me of that movie -- guillermo, have you seen that movie "dave?" >> no, i haven't seen it. >> wait a second, are you a clone? >> i am the real guillermo. >> we came back from vacation. someone may have swapped guillermos.

get a shot of the green room, please. >> number 8. let's do it. >> guillermo, guillermo, guillermo! [ cheers and applause ] >> guillermo, guillermo, guillermo! >> oh, my god. guillermo. why aren't you in here working, guillermo? >> i am there working, jimmy. look at the doors. >> yeah. [ laughter ] >> that isn't you at the door. >> it's not me? >> no, it's not you. >> oh, i guess i called wrong in today. [ cheers and applause ] >> number 9! number 9! number 9! >> guillermo clone, would you mind giving the real guillermo a ride home tonight? >> you got it. >> a substitute teacher in mont ville, new jersey, was teaching a first grade class and the subject of christmas came up. so she decided to tell the kids

the truth about -- reportedly she told kids, santa isn't real, rein deer don't fly, the tooth fairy and easter bunny were made up. she also told the kids they were adopted. [laughter] the principal of the school had to apologize to parents. aren't substitute teachers supposed to show a movie and maybe take zips out sips of whi of a flask or something? a teacher told me about santa, and it absolutely crushed me. i was 17 years old, which is different. [ laughter ] but tonight, in case you don't know, is the second night of hanukkah. so happy hanukkah to those who are celebrating this -- [ cheers and applause ] >> this overlooked holiday. christmas gets most of the attention, but hanukkah is important, too. a lot of children are familiar. most children are familiar with the story of christmas, but they're less educated about the miracle of hanukkah. we went out on the street and we asked kids who don't celebrate hanukkah to tell us what they

know about this holiday. and this is what they said. ♪ ♪ >> have you ever heard of hanukkah? >> yeah. >> what is hanukkah? >> it's where jewish people, um, celebrate hanukkah on christmas. >> what is hanukkah? >> um, it's where some other people celebrate christmas and some other people don't celebrate it like that. >> which other people, do you know? >> no. >> it's jewish people. have you heard of jewish people? >> no. >> where do you live? >> salt lake city. >> that makes sense. why doesn't santa bring any of the jewish kids toys? >> because they're jewish. >> can you spell >> um, can i try? >> yep.

>> h-o-n-e-c-c-h? >> you know what, you're probably right. there's no wrong answer. here you go. >> thank you. >> would you like to meet a jewish person? >> yeah. >> eric, come here. this is eric. he's jewish, and he's a tv comedy writer. >> they're all tv comedy writers. >> oh. okay. >> who brings people presents on christmas? >> santa. >> who brings them presents on hanukkah? >> um -- >> it's melissa rivers. >> oh. >> do you know any hanukkah songs? hanukkah, come light the menorah, that's a >> pretty good.

[ laughter ] >> doing drag. >> jimmy: does it take an hour -- >> why are you obsessed with me, [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: i'm interested in it. by the way, i am kind of obsessed with you, especially after i saw this. now, this is a photograph, this is you, and this is not -- this is not like a halloween thing or something like that. this is you on the ranch you live on in wyoming. >> yes. >> jimmy: what kind of a ranch is this? >> well, first of all, people have a weird idea what ranches from movies. a modern ranch is really land management. my husband owns a 60,000 acre ranch, a 60,000 acre ranch. you lease out the mineral rights

to the water companies and lease out the land for cattle people -- they graze and moo, you know. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yes, i've seen them. >> what's funny about that, i'm the only one in wyoming who dresses in western wear. >> jimmy: is that right? >> yes. >> jimmy: come on. >> i want to wear these fabulous western wear outfits. >> jimmy: that's a good outfit. >> no one else is wearing that, no one. no one else is wearing is that. >> jimmy: do they know you from the show? >> they don't care. no tina shea. they are very frosty up there. they're very, very chilly up there. it's not a racial thing. it's just an environmental thing. it's -- they're very frosty. so i go up there and reed books. >> jimmy: i have a theory as to why that is. >> why is that? >> jimmy: if you live in brooklyn everyone is opposite of that because everyone is piled on top of each other. when you have a lot of space, you become more solitary.

>> yeah, that's close to my theory. i think they were descendants of the donner party. [ laughter ] >> they're afraid of someone eating them. >> jimmy: that could be it, too. we'll really never have an answer to this question. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: do you do ranch-type stuff? are you out there, like, what goes on on a ranch. do people dig there, whittling? >> oh, hell no. >> jimmy: nothing like that? >> no, when i go up there, i reed books, watch movies. it's really beautiful in wyoming, just gorgeous, but not a lot of things to do. it's the least populated state in the union, so most people get the hell out of wyoming. >> jimmy: yeah, right. >> it's really beautiful. >> jimmy: you have to be paired up to be in wyoming, unless you're living in cheyenne or something like that. >> right. >> jimmy: meet other people you

could pair up with. >> you said it beautifully. >> jimmy: i feel like i figured everything out. >> you figured it out. it's really true. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: by the way, i want to point something out. you tweeted it. it's a medication sold in canada. it's called ru pall. can you sue them for this? >> no, but i'm told there is an anal option to this product. >> jimmy: it's an allergy medication. it's been a little windy and i've been having some allergies. i thought might be, i don't know, do you want to try one of these? >> orally, do you want to take it orally? >> jimmy: let's see, yeah, let's go with orally because it's -- i don't have my pea shooter. [ laughter ] well, i'm going to try this. i'm going to try ru pall and see what happens. >> do it.
