i'm heading >> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live"! tonight -- viola davis, author charles p. pierce, from "tidying up," marie kondo, and music from cypress hill. and now, final warning, jimmy kimmel! [cheers and applause] ♪ >> jimmy: thank you. i'm the host of the show. thank you for turning onnen y y televisions at home. relax. i know a lot of you are visiting us. welcome, welcome to l.a., home

of the nfc champion los angeles rams. [cheers and applause] did you even know the rams are in los angeles now? well, they are, and they're playing in the super bowl on sunday. and you were in atlanta. >> yes, jimmy. >> jimmy: the coaches, the feeling, did you get any feeling who was going to win this game? >> i love tom brady, but i live in los angeles, so i want the rams to win. >> jimmy: i know ywho you want o win, who do you think will win. >> the rams. >> jimmy: the rams are going up against the dynasty that is the new england patriots. and to kick things off, none other than president trump has agreed to sit for our pregame interview. the super bowl is his third favorite bowl right behind taco and toilet. we get a rare chance to see the president on television. it seems appropriate that he

would be a part of super bowl liii because that's what he does best. trump, his long-time friend and adviser, roger stone pleaded not guilty to charges, including obstruction of justice and witness tampering this morning. here he is on the way to the courthouse. unusually for a defendant to drive himself. but roger stone is an unusual fellow. it's almost hard to believe he's real. first of all, he's got a tattoo of richard nixon's face on his back. and secondly, we know that he's got a tattoo of richard nixon's face on his back. he loves attention. the minute he got arrested, he went on a publicity tour. it was as if he had a new "star wars" movie coming out. last night he dropped by the warm confines of sean hannity's show to give you the real news that the fake media won't

report. >> i'm surprised that they're going to charge the president of collusion. then nancy pelosi can be president. i think that's what they have in mind. >> jimmy: i'll go you one further. i think they wanted to get rid of pelosi, too. they knock off nancy pelosi. when she's gone, they get rid of the next guy in line for the presidency, chuck grassley, then they get rid of mike pompeo. when he's gone, he go after the secretary of the treasury, health and human services. they don't stop. they keep going until they get to the department of housing and urban development, dr. ben carson, who will be so sleepy

throughout the remainder of his term, the diabolical bandits who started it can dress him in women's close for all we know. check info wars, it's all there. here's another one of the president's only the best people, here's john bolton. he spoke about u.s. sanctions on venezuela and he inadvertently showed what's on his notepad, which said 5,000 troops to colombia. someone should tell john bolton, top secret doesn't mean put your secret at the top of the page, because, but at least it's warm in colombia. [ applause ] i don't know how many of you are from the midwest, but more than 83 million americans are expected to experience sub-zero temperatures this week. it cob colder in chicago this week than it is in antarctica.

residents of chicago are being forced to slice into deep dish pizzas and climb inside them. it was chilly here today. it got down to 72 degrees today. it was so cold today i had to wear my ankle length lululemons, instead of the three quarter crops i normally wear. the president weighed in on the weather. in the beautiful midwest, wind chill temperatures are reaching minus 60 degrees, in coming days, expected to get colder. people can't exist for more than a few minutes. what is going on with global waming. it is a hoax invented by jourge michael and andrew ridley in 1

1983. is he dumb or just pretending to be done? i think we give him the benefit of the doubt and say he's actually dumb. if that's the case, since he doesn't understand climate change, we invited a couple of children who do to break it down four him. >> hi, mr. president. today i want to tell you about climate change. don't get angry, mr. president, it's just science. like gravity. you don't get upset by gravity. it was started by john tyndall in 1859. >> that's before even you were bourne. >> in a greenhouse, sunlight shines in and warms up the air. when the energy tries to go out, it gets trapped in the glass, warming the inside even more. woo, that's hot.

the earth's atmosphere works just like a giant greenhouse. it's huge. so more greenhouse gases you add to the atmosphere the more energy gets trapped. makes sense, right? >> and we've within adding a lot of greenhouse gases recently. look, all that extra trapped energy is already causing higher temperatures, melting ice, more extreme weather, rising sea levels, drought and a lot of things that will make earth a pretty tough place tor yofor yo barron and me to live. >> just because it isn't warm where you are, doesn't mean it's not happening to the earth. climate is what happens over the long run. >> that's called climate change. can you learn more at

climate.nasa.gov. you're welcome! >> jimmy: the former ceo of starbucks, howard schultz, is thinking of running for president. he would run as an eindependent. not everyone thinks he's the guy to make america grande again. >> i am seriously considering running for president as a centrist independent. and i wanted to clarify the word end pent independent, which i view merely as a designation on the balance lot. >> you'll help elect trump, you egotistical billionaire [ bleep ]. >> jimmy: it's going to be a fun 22 months. you know the name marie kondo [ applause ] how many haof you have been

tidying up your closet? she makes people get rid of stuff. i' i've accumulated a lot of stuff. someone thought it would be a good idea to ask marie kondo to help. here's my real office and how it really looks at the show and marie kondo giving me a little help. >> hello! nice to meet you. >> jimmy: nice to meet you, too, thank you for coming. can i be very honest with you? i had a nightmare about this the other night. i woke up upset because i dreamed you came in my office and started destroying my things. >> translator: what's important about my method is that you will be doing all the hard work, jimmy. actually, i never force anybody to throw anything away. >> jimmy: great. our work here is done. >> translator: with the kumari

method, we will be checking everything you own, if it sparks joy we keep it. >> jimmy: if it sparks joy, we keep it, if it doesn't, it goes. let's tidy up. >> translator: how about everyone who uses this office, do you take a little time to send a little love? >> jimmy: that's a good idea. >> translator: close your eyes, and simply in your heart express gratitude for all this office does for you. >> jimmy: oh, we're done. we're done, everybody. >> translator: so it's also important to have a vision for your office before you tidy. how would you best like to use this office? >> i'd like it to be a little more organized. i'd like it not to look like a r rumpus room. you know how to translate

this is a book called "full disclosure" by stormy daniels. you can take that and read it to her or whatever. >> translator: thank you very much. >> jimmy: i read that you should only have 30 books. >> translator: i don't know where that rumor came from. that's a misconception. >> jimmy: oh, good. i need more than 30. >> translator: the thing you need to do is wake up the books a little bit. >> jimmy: hey, guys, wake up! >> translator: this is your office area? >> jimmy: yeah, it really is more embarrassing when you stop and take a look at it. >> translator: when you look around, survey the area, what sparks joy. >> jimmy: this is a wiffle bat signed by magic johnson. do you know who magic johnson is? >> translator: is he a baseball player? >> jimmy: no, he's a basketball player. >> translator: this is something that sparks joy, so yeah. >> jimmy: all right, so we'll put that up on the wall. so i have all this stuff on the

ground here. >> translator: you're going to need to touch each and every one and see which one brings you joy. >> jimmy: oh, okay. there's my pants. i've been wondering what happened to these. i lost these. and now i found them. thank you. you know what this is? this is, this is an emergency ladder i bought in case we need to escape. >> translator: is that a cockroach? >> jimmy: no, those are -- oh, yeah, that is a cockroach. oh, boy, sorry about that. so this is a sculpture. my cousin and brother had this made for me of my grandfather's head. it's great, and i love it, but it's right here in the middle of the coffee table, and i'm worried that it's going to get ruined. >> translator: perhaps you can create one dedicated shelf for your grandfather's head. >> jimmy: that sounds horrible

but i think you're right, yeah. maybe i'll get rid of all these bottles of alcohol, and this table will be dedicated to my grandfather's head. >> translator: good idea. >> jimmy: i want to show you one more thing. are you familiar with the song "the rain" by orange juice jones? >> translator: no, sorry. >> jimmy: the song goes like this. it goes hey, hey, baby, how you doin' today? you miss me? i missed you too. i missed you so much i followed you today. close your mouth because you're cold busted. i'm so upset with you i don't know what to do. my first impulse was to run up on you and do a ram willing but i didn't want to mess up this n. so instead i chilled. that's right. i chilled. then i went to the bank and took out every dime, i went and canceled all your credit cards, all your charge accounts. i stepped up for every piece of jewelry i ever bought you.

the fact that i'm sitting here and my dignity is still in tact, as soon as i walked in the room, the wig started floating off my hid, and those pins came out like bullets. they were like, doo, doo doo, doo. and the tech woman started screaming, oh, my god, oh, my god, your name is viola davis, right? half of them were stuck on the mri machine. half of the pins were on the floor, and the wig was stuck to my head. >> jimmy: i hope everything was okay. it sounds like the mri was more dangerous. >> an mri is something you have to do every year. >> jimmy: can i tell you, i know almost nothing about the female

body. ask my wife. >> you're not the only one. when you talk about anything, especially dealing with menopause or breasts, men just die a slow death. >> jimmy: i know this is going to sound like a very stupid question, and it is a stupid question for a man my age. >> go ahead and hit me with it. >> jimmy: what is menopause? i've heard of it.

in the sink. and five minutes later he looked at me. he said, v, are you okay? i said, yeah, i'm fine. are you sure you're okay? because i found that bowl in the refrigerator. please tell me you not going crazy.

sharod brown. elizabeth warren from my own state is moving in that direction as is kamala harris. i don't think there's a spot for him at this time. if he wanted to be king maker, that cob huld be his role. if i was a democratic politician i would love to have joe biden on the stump for me. i talked about kissing the pig in iowa, joe biden would slow dance with the pig in iowa. >> jimmy: trump said we're going to take a braeak from the shutdown, we're going to take three weeks and negotiate. and if we don't, we're going to shut it down. do you think they'll shut it down? >> no, because the republican senators will run for the lifeboats. they don't want another shutdown. nobody wants another shutdown. they had air traffic controllers

saying, hey, don't get on an airplane this week. that was some very serious business. and you had multi-million dollar damage to places like joshua tree out here. the shutdown helps nobody and it really doesn't help the republicans, and somebody's got to run for senate again in 2020. and they don't want that hung around their necks. >> jimmy: today roger stone pled not guilty to a variety of counts. do you fknow him? >> no, obviously anyone around politics. >> jimmy: he seems like a good guy. >> a swell guy. if hr puffen stuff had gone to slithering. he has sort of been in the long history of political pranksters, which is a proud tradition in american politics. he is the evil twin of that. what he does is damage people. i think there are limits to

political pranksterism. that said, he's a great show. >> jimmy: speaking of great shows, rudy giuliani. was rudy giuliani always like this and we didn't realize it? some believe he was bitten by a radioactive clown. how did this happen? >> honestly i don't know. because when he was the u.s. attorney in new york he was a very stern, you know, catholic kind of rigid guy who used to person walk stockbrokers out of, you know, wall street officers in handcuffs. at the same time he had this baroque private life that we only learned about afterwards. but now he's out there being the president's buffoon. if i'm ever charged with capital murder, don't hire rudy giuliani as my lawyer, please? because he's going to get on television and tell people i did it. no, seriously, he's going to have the knife.

>> jimmy: and we're selling it for a very low price. >> and can you have it on ebay. >> jimmy: i love your stuff. it seems like you're reading and watching all day long and posting about it. >> yeah, i wake up in the morning. >> i used to write a newspaper column, so i know what it's like to have a semi-permanent deadline. i wake up in the morning, and there's a brief moment when i say, god, what am i going to write about today? and i turn on the internet. and there's a rich environment. >> jimmy: charles p. pierce!
