we appreciate your time. i'm zdan >> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live"! tonight, chris pine, from "game of thrones", lena headey, this week in unnecessary censorship, and comedian kellen erskine, and now, ready or not, jimmy kimmel! ♪ [cheers and applause] >> jimmy: thank you. hi, everybody. i'm jimmy. i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. thank you for coming. [cheers and applause] that's very kind. i'm tickled pink to have you here. we've got a, i have a lot to

report. so many things to share. starting with the battle royale between donald trump and nancy pelosi. i have no idea what's going on in your lives, but you may know trump was supposed to give the state of the union address on tuesday, and nancy pelosi shut that down in what many are describing as an embarrassing loss for our embarrassing president, so he will not give the state of the union or tuesday. instead, he'll have the night free to eat cheeseburgers and watch an all new episode of lindsay lohan's beach club. pelosi got the best of him. usually when trump bends over for a woman like that, it's because she's spanking him with a magazine with his face on it. this wasn't as much fun. it wasn't the kind of coverage the president likes. he likes to win. so to change the narrative, i guess, he held an impromptu press conference from the

cabinet room to warn us about yet another caravan. >> you cannot have border security without a wall. we can play games and talk about technology and drones flying around. you know, right now, formedmedme an 8,000-person caravan. i wouldn't say tijuana's too happy, but they're happily living in tijuana. >> jimmy: yeah, and they're riding chupacabras. when reporters asked him who he blames for this mess, you're not going to believe who he blames. >> one of the people i blame is myself, because the economy is so strong right now, stronger than ever before. today, today, right now, we have more people working in the united states than has ever

worked in this country before. that's a great compliment. so i blame myself, okay? >> jimmy: wait a mainute. it didn't sound like you were blaming yourself at all. it sounded like bragging. but i'll fix that statement for you. >> i blame myself. >> jimmy: there you go, fix it. so now we're at day 34 of the government shutdown. today the senate rejected not one but two plans to end it. people are upset. in kentucky yesterday federal workers showed up to protest at senator mitch mcconnell's office. it was a total mitch hunt. this is a disaster for trump, because the majority of americans blame him for the shutdown, mostly because he was dumb enough to say i will take the blame for the shutdown. his sycophants aren't helping, the blue ribbon winning wilbur raise was on cnbc offering his

advice. >> there are reports that there are some federal workers going to homeless shelters to get food. >> well, i know they are, and i don't really quite understand why, because, as i mentioned before, the obligations that they would undertake, say borrowing from a bank or credit union are in effect federally guaranteed. so the 30 days of pay that some people will be out, there's no real reason why they shouldn't be able to get a loan against it. >> jimmy: well, thanks, droopy. can't we all just get a loan? i think is the message there. one of the agencies working without pay is the secret service. and some agents are venting their frustration in a creative way. remember the secret service are passing around coins, challenge coins to boost morale.

this is the front of the coin, says united states secret service, essential personnel. on the back it says don't worry, you'll get back pay in quotes, and open, closed. this is a nice detail. zoom in there, because they put a pacifier on the coin in case you're wondering what the secret service thinks of the 72-year-old baby they're sworn to take a bullet for. and while our politicians are plag playing ping-pong, 800,000 workers aren't getting paid. every night we've been giving a job to an unpaid worker, let's give a welcome to navy veteran veronica allen. what is it exactly that you do? >> i work for the u.s. forest service. >> jimmy: what is your job? >> i am the admin support assistant. >> jimmy: what does that mean? >> we handle all the clerical,

paperwork, hiring. >> jimmy: all the hiring of whom? >> our seasonals and firefighters. >> jimmy: these are the people who go out and fight the wildfires? >> yes. >> jimmy: is it true if we rake the forests we won't need those people. >> we're not hiring. >> jimmy: we never have problems with fires in california. >> not in california, no. >> jimmy: how many children do you have? >> i have three. >> jimmy: so you need the paycheck. >> i do. >> jimmy: have you ever worked a camera before, a television camera? >> no. >> jimmy: it's like an i phone that weighs 400 pounds. >> okay. >> jimmy: so parker, where's, so behind that, yeah, go right there, and parker's going to show you, right behind the camera, how to work it. [cheers and applause] just show her how to do it.

you're going to have to, i'm either going to have to do this. i can't do the whole show like this, veronica, we're going to have to go up some, okay? all right, okay. good enough. [cheers and applause] speaking of camera work, this is, this is from the price is right on tuesday. where the crew is working overtime when no one came on down. >> tara armstrong, come on down! you're the next contestant on "the price is come on she's, she's in the

♪ >> jimmy: by the way, what are the odds she stopped to wash those hands she just touched everyone with? this is an excite beiing time f football fan. the rams are headed to the super bowl a week from sunday. they will face the hated matt damon patriots. why is he allowed to live here? so this is interesting. ticket prices for seats at the super bowl are reportedly down because they say in part because rams fans don't want to go all the way to atlanta to see the game, which makes sense. in l.a., it's hard to get anyone to drive 20 minutes to meet you for dinner. most of us who live in l.a. have never met a rams fan. [ applause ] i've seen them at the game. you know, they want to boost

ticket sales, what the super bowl ought to do is dres one of t one of the players up like alexander hamilton. that will put butts into seats. and while ads for the game are selling upwards for $5 million apiece, cbs said no to an ad promoting medical marijuana. it's funny. cbs won't run ads for marijuana but they're perfectly happy with clydesdales kicking field goals. and while cannabis might not get a shout out during the super bowl, the ad has found a home on the puppy bowl. >> your best friend, is he anxious? listless? has she lost her spark? ask your veterinarian about air buds. taken daily, air buds will get your dog back to doing the things he enjoys doing most. choose from hundreds of strains.

i talk about the movie 2019. the movie's behind me, called glass. >> the three of you think you have extraordinary gifts, like something out of a comic book. >> you know, the guy, jammy jackson jackson jumped, you know with the police car, she sit down, i don't forget the movie. >> english mother [ bleep ] do you speak it? >> is it the movie with, oh, nick and the blend, you know, he said to the snake go [ bleep ] off from my blame. >> i have absolutely no idea what i'm doing here. >> the guy in the middle is like the bad guy. gents he's in the movie x man with jack hagman. and the lady, her name sarah

pelosi. she said he kill everybody. and bruce willis. i got picture with him behind his back because he do not like to stop for picture. >> good for you. >> and bruce willis, he make a lot of movie, like 60 second in talk with a small boy and the boys in the bath cover his face and he tell bruce willis, i see. the movie very good, go watch it. good luck! [cheers and applause] is the movie not good? watch it. oh, i don't see it. ♪ join i gue >> jimmy: i guess he didn't see it. we'll do it again. thank you, yahya. and one more thing before we forge ahead. it's thursday night, means it's time to bleep and blank the moments ahead whether they need
