all right, thanks for joining us. >> have a from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live"! tonight -- joseph gordon-levitt, from "9-1-1", angela bassett, the 13th annual belly flop competition, and music from half alive. and now, stay put, jimmy kimmel! [cheers and applause] >> jimmy: thank you. how are you? i appreciate it. thank you. i'm jimmy, i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. thank you for coming. real fine. [cheers and applause] i will say, we've had an

especially interesting week here at our show. you know, we talk about, we talk quite a bit about the president on this show, and all the late night shows do, but it's unusual that he talks about us. perhaps in order to distract us from his embarrassing defeat in the senate today, the president unleashed a tor the rent of ran selected topics. he tweeted about nancy pelosi, national agriculture day and took a shot at the late night hosts. he wrote, the three very weak and untalented late night hosts. first of all, i don't know why he would call steven colbert and jimmy fallon weak. that's rude. carson did a great job. it wasn't political. i don't know what they're going to do in 2024 when he's no

longer president. we'll be whacky in the unemployment line? this idea of us fighting over table scraps is more like a hometown buffet in hell. you get all the crab legs you can eat, but you never can stop eating them. that's what it's like. he wonders what we're going to do when he's not president anymore. i know i am going to disney land on that day. [cheers and applause] that's my plan. so this is what the president should be worried about. the senate, in a rare bipartisan move passed a resolution to block the president's bogus declaration of a national emergency. vote 59-41, even after he tried to strong arm the republicans, 12 of them flipped. it's most embarrassing beating he's taken since stormy daniels got him with a magazine. [ applause ] the president is expected to veto the resolution, even

tweeted the word veto. and this is a good nugget. trump was reportedly enraged last night when three republican senators, including ted cruz and lindsey graham interrupted his dinner to try to pitch him a compromise. they should know, you do not get in between that man and his kfc. it's just not. meanwhile we have entered the presidential race. even the new york marathon puts a cap on how many people can run. instead of showing you a list of who's running, we decided to give ah list you a list of thos aren't. here they are. bla black chyna, jussie smollett, et

cetera, et cetera, jared from subway will not be running. beto is very charismatic, very popular but also an adult which rides a skate board, which gives us pause. beto ran against ted cruz and lost and decided you know what? i'm going to run for president. it's like you asked a cheerleader to the prom. she said no, so you asked bay beyonce instead. donald trump is so jealous of adult, man-sized hands he can't get enough. beto was on the cover of vanity fair this month. and you can tell he's serious because he has his shirt tucked. i think he may only have one shirt. he's in that shirt in avenue single photograph. not everyone's excited about an o'rourke run for president, and that includes the host of the

700 club. pat robertson is 700 years old. he's the only one in the club. but here he is on beto o'rourke. >> now we've got an irishman who h has picked up a mexican name, that beto is alliteration of the spanish word roberto. he's running essentially as a half mexican. b beto o'rourke. to go after ted cruz he decided he was going to be half mexican, beto. >> jimmy: he said the same thing when lincoln ran for president. just pat. here's something that doesn't have anything to do with anything. but avenevery summer we have aa

competition. we have people on the street judgme take off their clothes and jump in the pool. let's go out to hollywood boulevard. the weather is good? >> oh, it's a polar vortex out, but we'll get through it. >> jimmy: have you been wrangling people? >> yeah, i got this guy. are you a cop? i have to ask? >> no, just going for the magnum pi look. >> jimmy: what's your name? >> james. >> jimmy: i like jimmy. what do you do for work? >> i do security for c.i.t. and work at a vape shop. just stayin' afloat. >> jimmy: those intereare guill exact qualifications. >> tell him to come on down to florida, >> jimmy: a vape shop. you want to flop your belly? you don't have much of a belly,

but you make the most of it. >> i'll let him borrow. >> jimmy: let's see if we have anybody else out there, sal. hello, what's your name? >> dena. >> jimmy: where are you from? >> newport beach. >> jimmy: what do you do for work? >> i'm a biology student at usc. >> jimmy: oh, did your parents pay to get you in there? >> no, they did not. not that i know of. >> jimmy: all right, well, keep in mind we're going to do a little background check on you after this. would you like to belly flop tonight? >> i would love to belly flop. >> jimmy: come on through, then, sal, find a few more bell ease. our competitors tonight will be judged on style, skill and most importantly, water displacement. this is going to be good. by the way, i want to send thoughts and prayers out to you who had a birthday yesterday and learned that without facebook no one knew. facebook and instagram were down for 12 hours yesterday.

facebook today blamed the out a.m. a lot of people thought it was a hack, but they blamed it on a server configuration change. it changed from working to not working. both platforms are back up and running, which is good news, oh, hold on. go right through. yes, great. >> yeah. [cheers a [cheers and applause] >> jimmy: all right. i don't know why. i feel like it's a bachelor and we just fixed them up. tomorrow is no ordinary school day. tens of thousands of students are expected to skip school and take to the streets to demand that we adults do more to combat climate change. which is great, but it seems like this could be done on saturday, doesn't it?

students not getting properly educated is what caused climate change denial in the first place. president trump ordered the space force to take out the sun. i don't know why any one wouldn't believe humans are causing climate change. most of the denial, as you know, comes from the red states. but here's thing i don't think these people are considering. when climate change causes the sea level to rise, it makes coastal cities like ours uninhabitable, we're coming to live with you guys. how many people have you got in wyoming, 500,000? we have 38 million. we're coming to laramie. there's going to be $5 lattes, gay pride parades, everybody's going to be eating chia vegan noodle smoothies three times a day. if you want to keep us here and not there, you might want to give this one another look. oh, okay, good. we have moregood sal.

hi, everyone. oh, yes, yes. we got some good bellies there. guillermo, are you going out there, too? >> jimmy: all right. it's like the least spectacular parade ever. so, okay. this is an interesting statistic. there's a new study done by aaa that says 71% of americans are afraid of self-driving cars. is anyone afraid, we're afraid of self-driving cars. we have no problem getting in a uber after midnight with some weirdo stranger, but i am not scared of self-driving cars. if there's one thing i've learned from movies, it's that the robots would never hurt us. self-driving cars are more scared of us than we are of them. here in los angeles, not only do we have a number of companies developing self-driving cars, they're also working on

self-honking and self-middle fingering cars, too. [cheers and applause] is our crew in place outside? let's go to our back lot where our 13th annual pedestrian belly flop competition is about to begin. [cheers and applause] that is our official belly flop security guard guillermo. how are you feeling tonight, guillermo? >> feeling great, jimmy. >> jimmy: pretty great, okay. i'd like to introduce you to our judgments, he won a bronze medal fo for the united states, say hello to adam rippon. hello, adam. are you a professional athlete. what is the skating and belly flopping? >> honestly, i don't feel like there's a lot of difference. i'm looking for a lot of passion and more than anything i want to get [ bleep ] wet. >> jimmy: thank you. that's attitude we'd like to

serious lim seriously. guillermo, bring out flopper number one. >> that was nothing. you didn't see that. neither did that camera. >> jimmy: jimmy, we almost lost you before you got to the edge of the pool. >> sh! >> jimmy: you chose the speedo? or the speedo chose you. >> the speedo chose me. >> jimmy: are you having any regret about doing this now? >> not yet. >> jimmy: we're looking for passion, commitment and most of all, a lot of water, all right? >> a lot of passion. a lot of passion. >> jimmy: here we go. and it's jimmy. guillermo, count'em down. >> three, two, one! >> oh! >> jimmy: all right. well done. >> ah! i got >> jimmy: slow motion instant replay so we can really examine

results, i think. >> i'm focussed on pain. how much pain are you enduring. that guy, he put his elbows down at the last minute. that doesn't hurt. >> jimmy: interesting, interesting. but you are not a licensed belly flop judge like adam is, like mark is. >> can i go out there? >> jimmy: okay, here we go. this is great. >> keep your elbows up! >> kerry king. >> jimmy: where are you from? >> lake providence, louisiana. >> jimmy: you've probably jumped into swamps and stuff, right? >> shoot'em, elizabeth. >> jimmy: now joseph gordon levity h leavitt has some advice for you. >> no elbows down. >> i knew that belly was going to come in handy. >> jimmy: are you ready to do this? >> i'm ready.
