[cheers and applause] well, you picked a very nice, you picked a great night to be here, a great night to watch. we have got a fun show planned for you tonight. tonight the greatest quarterback of all of them, from the new england patriots. [cheers and applause] tom brady is here. and the excitement, the excitement around this office, you know, we have a lot of tough guys from boston working here. dicky, our announcer is one of them. ever since we announced tom brady was coming, you know how excited your kid gets when the pinata finally breaks open? that's how crazy it's been around here, right, guillermo? >> very, very crazy. >> jimmy: if the lights go out tonight, just bathe in the glow of tom's perfectly white teeth. also, two gentlemen who know

all, the creators of "game of thrones," david benioff and d.b. weiss. parents are naming their babies after characters on the show. for real, calisi is more common for babies now, than aria was popular. 23 people named their kid after a guy who got his penis cut off. [ applause ] and probably didn't have it circumstance coup circumstan circumcised. this is a baby definitely named after tom brady, he's only 2 years old. he's joining us from

>> i was about to crank one out to dora the to each his own. >> jimmy: you have a very full beard for a 2-year-old. >> maybe where you're from, this is a full beard, but trust me, my hand to god, this is what every toddler in new england looks like. from scituate to matapan. you got a problem with that? >> jimmy: no. >> you want a piece of me? >> jimmy: no, i was just going to ask what it's like being named after your hero, tom brady. >> oh, my god. you know what it's like?

>> jimmy: what? >> [ bleep ]. you see, because tom t the goat! he's the goat! >> jimmy: he's the goat, which is short for, he's the greatest of all time, right? >> no, [ bleep ] of course that's what i mean. did you think i was talking about a freakin' nursery rhyme? am i [ bleep ] old macdonald? you think i have a farm? there's a goat, everywhere a goat, goat? what do you think this is, a pettin' zoo? >> jimmy: what are you drinkin' there, little tom brady? >> hold on. i can't get enough of this stuff. i i'm drinking what every kid drinks, similac and a

drink. you're being a little condescending to me. do you think you're better than me? bring out tom brady already. >> jimmy: is there anything you'd like me to say to tom brady? >> i would like to say this to mr. tom brady, tom, the big brady, sir, i am ever so proud to ba to bear your moniker. from brain tree to bridgewater, you, sir, are a true inspiration. >> jimmy: okay. >> and one more thing, aum yll u queer jets fans out there can eat the baked beans out of my dirty diaper! >> jimmy: the terrible 2s, you know? oh, i have to issue a health warning, the orange county

health agency is warning anyone who went on thursday night to the avengers, get checked for the measles. a woman who was at the movie had the measles. in the united states we've seen more cases of measles this year than in 25 years. who could have predicted that not getting vaccinated against the measles would lead to people getting the measles? i'm starting to think thanos was on to something. the attorney general william barr did not have the measles, but he called in sick today. he pulled out of the hearing after democrats wanted staff attorneys ask him questions. barr did not want that. so he didn't show up. not only that, barr is still refusing to show congress the unredacted mueller report because of a long-standing

policy that once a report goes black it can never go back. i didn't know about that, did you guys? [ applause ] none of this went over well with the chairman of the house judiciary committee, who issued this blistering statement today. >> [ bleep ], [ bleep ] now you're photo shoppin' it even more. >> jimmy: hold on. that was not the chairman of the house judiciary committee, i believe that was cardi b, who i would love to see question william barr. this is what happened in the house today, to mock the no-show attorney general one member did this. >> it appears some democrats are taunting attorney general william barr placing a chicken where barr was initially supposed to sit this morning. >> jimmy: wow, what a sick burn that is. trump's going to win with stuff like that, isn't he? team trump is moving right ahead with their war against health care. they want to pull the plugs on

obamacare all together. pre-existing conditions would go away, keeping your kids on your plan until age 26 would go away. and medicaid for millions of low-income people would go away, so naturally, the president's like yeah, let's do that. i think trump's philosophy on this is i've clearly never seen a doctor, why should you ever see a doctor? [cheers and applause] and the only reason he wants to get rid of obamacare is because it has the word "obama" in it, and "care" in it. those are his two least favorite words. there was a time when donald trump promised to protect coverage for preexisting conditions. do you remember that guy at all? >> i will always protect preexisting conditions. we protect you. preexisting conditions. right? republicans will always protect patients with preexisting

conditions. i wish people would get that into their heads. >> jimmy: i'm sure this is, this is probably going up in the west wing very soon. have you seen the new presidential portrait that has been making the rounds online? it's work of an artist named john mcnaughton who used his time and talent to paint this portrait of the president and the first lady and what he calls maga ride. what if gary busey went to art school. there are a lot of notable details in this painting. the cracks spell "maga." it would take trump an hour to get on that motorcycle. most notable is melania voluntarily touching him from behind. that is a masterpiece. by the way, that's only part one of the exhibit. there's also a companion piece

called "mother wife bites the dust." there is yet another democrat running for president. michael bennet, the senator from colorado, i never heard of the guy. but here's thing. i think there needs to be a rule, you cannot run for president if you have fewer twitter followers than the movie "sausage right? i don't know. then it is the 21st democrat to enter the race. they now have more characters in the democratic party than "game of thrones," but joe biden is the front runner, and the candidate, he is the one with the most name recognition, but a lot of these other candidates, who knows. we went out on the street and asked people to name a democratic candidate for president other than joe biden. here's how that went. ♪ >> can you name a democratic candidate besides joke

biden? >> no, i would be making up a name. >> i cannot, howard, i can't >> let's see.nam who else? the guy from, i can't remember his name. looks like my boss. i don't remember right now. >> can you name a democratic president besides joe biden? >> crap, no, am i, no, i'm not good with that. >> what about that doggie? what about that doggie? >> so we have biden, and then we have, there's a lady that's going, i don't know her name, but i saw there's a female that's just entered. >> um, no. i don't care about anybody but kanye. >> okay. name a candidate including joe biden. >> okay. well, joe biden. that's all got. >> jimmy: there you go. so anyway.

>> hey, hey, "queer eye," hey, "queer eye," what's the hold uplup already. >> jimmy: oh, hi. >> it's past my bedtime. where the [ bleep ] is tom brady already! >> jimmy: listen, he's coming. one more outburst from you, and you're going into time out, mr. >> oh, [ bleep ] you u y. you get to number 12 before i [ bleep ] myself. capeesh? bring him out! >> jimmy: it is this week in unnecessary censorship. >> you brought it to charlie's, right? >> yeah, a long time ago. >> like i'm going to [ bleep ] my leading lady. >> it was a mutual [ bleep ]ing of one another. >> we can agree he's a bad dude. this is a [ bleep ], [ bleep ],

[ bleep ] sucker. >> i [ bleep ]ed for 11 hours. >> i'm a very affectionate person, i walked on set a few weeks ago and [ bleep ]ed a guy. >> the [ bleep ] leadership will always. >> the what sucking? >> he said his wife [ bleep ]s trump. and i said i [ bleep ] her to. >> good morning. >> look at this [ bleep ] atop sky top lodge. >> lovely. >> i've been given certain skills to the point where i've [ bleep ]ed probably 3,000 [ bleep ]s in my career. >> jimmy: all right. we have a good show tonight. the creators of game thrones, are here. we'll be right back with tom brady.

[cheers and ♪ [cheers and applause] >> jimmy: how are you? >> i'm great. i'm great. >> jimmy: everybody's excited. >> i love it. in l.a. >> jimmy: in l.a. [cheers and applause] >> jimmy: that just shows you. >> thank you. >> jimmy: one guy shaking his head like no, no, no.

>> i love it. >> jimmy: yeah. all right, calm down. [cheers and applause] >> thank you. you got a home crowd. >> jimmy: i assume you've come to apologize for what happened in the super bowl? >> no, i came to see baby tom. where's he at tonight? >> i'm right here! i love you! i love you! >> baby tom! >> i want you to meet my real dad! >> jimmy: how you doin'? everything all right? >> i'm doing great. great to be here in california, be with you. >> jimmy: isn't it something where you can come to california where just a few months ago you beat us in the super bowl and yet you still get this kind of ovation. it is remarkable. >> yeah i'm a california kid at heart. >> jimmy: i don't think boston people like to admit that. >> i'm an adopted bostonian. i've been longer in massachusetts than i have been. >> jimmy: in a way, you are an abducted bostonian.

they are never letting you go. you're never leaving that area. >> probably not. >> jimmy: you were practicing, you were throwing passes to receivers at ucla yesterday, right? >> yeah, had a great time. >> jimmy: and i saw a video of you with julian edelman. >> yeah. >> jimmy: you are aware of it being the offseason. this is vacation time right now. >> i feel like i always want to be ready to go, so. >> jimmy: just in case they start the season early? >> maybe, i don't now. but i feel like, you know, i can actually go and enjoy myself if i feel like i'm in game shape and ready. >> jimmy: interesting. >> it wouldn't take me too long to get ready, but to have the ability to do that in offseason and keep things sharp is important for me. >> jimmy: does that relieve some anxiety knowing that you don't have to get in shape because you always are in it? >> yeah, if you ride that rollercoaster, it's tough. as an athlete, this is your profession. we all work hard. we want to stay at the top of

our game. that's a year-long commitment. >> jimmy: for most guys, it probably isn't. most guys take a little down time. >> not for me, not too much. >> jimmy: when you're out therely toithere throwing passes to these guys are you trying to improve? >> i think definitely trying to improve. after all these years, there's a certain feeling you get when you throw the certain pass. when you're really on and nailing it you want to repeat it. >> jimmy: out of op yoall your passes, how many will be perfect? >> in a game? >> jimmy: in a game. >> i would say probably, out of a hundred? >> jimmy: yeah. >> i'd love to throw the ball a hundred times in a game. they usually don't let me throw it a hundred times. >> jimmy: three games. >> not that many, surprisingly, i'd say like ten. you complete a lot of them because they have arms and they extend and catch, but it's tough to like hit a stationary target that many times in a row.

>> jimmy: it's good to have teammates with arms, isn't it? >> some of the best i've had have had arms. >> jimmy: they're underrated appendages. do people cry when they meet you i'm sure that happens to you. >> in boston. i think baby tom, i don't think he would cry. i didn't sigh much sensitivity. but i think they do. >> jimmy: that's got to be a strange thing. >> i've been in sports for so long, i think it brings so many people together. it brings families together and so many important family memories are being in a place and enjoying something and in boston, we have so many great memories over the years. i think it's just, sports is a wai way of touching people. >> jimmy: i think that's true for some people, but some people cannot get over the fact that you exist. >> why aren't you crying? i mean, will you cry please? >> jimmy: me? oh, yeah, i'll work up some tears.

so you stay in shape. you do all this stuff that you need to do. are you ever tired of this? do you ever feel like, okay, i've had enough? >> not to this point. i feel like, to be at the top or to give your team the chance to win every season you have to, you know, put a lot into it, and i try to, you know, bring my best every day, i try to be the best teammate, leader, and also physically, to stay prepared. because no one wants someone that is taking up space. >> jimmy: is it true that the real, real comradery, the real teamwork happens in the shower? >> that is totally inappropriate. >> jimmy: that is inappropriate. i'm so sorry. how much hunger do you have for another championship ring? because you have six. right? >> yeah, i know. it's been pretty amazing. an incredible run. i'm so grateful to be in the same place with so many incredible teammates over the years. it's such a team effort.

>> jimmy: but even six isn't that one too many? >> i've played a long time. six is six, i could never imagine in my wildest dreams having achieved that, but i think as a competitor, you get to line up and go after it again. >> jimmy: you just want to win every single time. >> damn it, i want to win! what's wrong with winning? i want to win. i hear you want to win, too. >> jimmy: i like to win things, but i'm bad when i win, i'm bad when i lose. it's whatever, i'm just a bad sport in general. do you ever have trouble controlling your competitiveness? >> i think over the years i've gotten a lot better. as a kid i threw a lot of golf clubs, broke remote controls. >> jimmy: what about your own kids, are you competitive with them? >> um, i have my moments. i have my moments. they're young. what's a dad supposed to do? teach them lessons. actually, i do let them, you know, kind of win to a degree. and then all of a sudden there's

that little competitive part of your, that's in your stomach just comes out, and then you win, and i'm like, why did i do that? and then my son's crying. >> jimmy: yeah, and you're the hungry, hungry hippo's champion. in your face, kid! >> i do tell him. i said look, one day you're going to beat your dad in everything and i'm never going to get a chance to win again, so i'm going to run up the score as much as i can. >> jimmy: and yet i know you really don't believe that. deep down inside, you'll be 70 years old, 80 years old, probably still playing. one of the things i admire about you, obviously, you're a great player and all that stuff. but as a teammate, you could, you should be the highest-paid player in football but you're note t not the highest-paid player, you're like 15th or 20th. shouldn't you be the highest paid guy? >> i always say that's a good

question, but the thing i've always felt for me in my life, winning has been a priority, and my wife makes a lot of money. >> jimmy: oh, i see, good. good. >> that works out well. i'm a little smarter than you think. actually, it's a salary cap. you can only spend so much. and the more one guy gets is less for others. from a competitive standpoint, i'd like a lot of good players around me. >> jimmy: i mohope they apprecie that. >> they do. >> jimmy: we're going to take a quick break. tom brady is with us. more after this. ♪ >> dicky: portions of "jimmy kimmel live" are brought to you by zillow. re-imagine the way home. it's an adventure. a test.

♪ >> jimmy: thanks for coming, fellas. appreciate it. i know you guys have a lot happening lately. first of all, the show is fantastic and congratulations. >> thank you. >> jimmy: so many great shows. how did this get started? like how did you guys meet? >> we met in graduate school in dublin, ireland. >> jimmy: in dublin. >> yeah. >> jimmy: is that why so much is shot in ireland? >> no. it was a happy coincidence. >> jimmy: you've come full circle. >> come full circle and stayed there for ten years. >> jimmy: it's a series of books that started. who read the books and said hey, check this out to the other? >> so i started reading george's, the first book, a "game of thrones." i got 200 pages into it. i got to the scene where bran got pushed out of the tower window and became obsessed.

i called dan and said you need to check out these books. i might be crazy, but i think this could be the greatest series of all time. [cheers and applause] i was a couple pages in. a couple hundred pages in. and he calls me back. two days later, he's finished it. >> i sat there in my chair, and i didn't move, and my now wife, then girlfriend, was wondering why i wasn't moving and like i wasn't bathing. >> jimmy: true question. >> i was eating and going to the bathroom and that was it. and i read 900 pages in two days which i hadn't done probably since i was 12 years old. >> jimmy: so you devoured it and loved and then went to hbo and said -- did you bathe before you went to hb snochlt. >> we had to go to george. >> we definitely didn't bathe before we went to george. >> jimmy: and you hit it off?

>> we took him out to lunch at the palm. and we had a and he said who is john snow's mother? and george had a little butter in his beard. it's one of those images that gets stamped into your brain. >> we've invested so much of ourselves and so much hope in this. it was that feeling that if you mess this up, it's all going to go away. >> jimmy: who fielded that question? >> weirdly, we had both talked about it, because we had read the book again by that point. and when you read it a second time, if you're paying attention, you can kind of tell who, who john snow's mother is. >> jimmy: i see. >> so we in had an answer that turned out right, and we don't want to spoil it. >> jimmy: that's same mother from the book that was in the show. >> yes. >> jimmy: you go to hbo, make a

pilot which they did not run. >> no. >> jimmy: why did they not run? >> because they wanted people to watch the second episode. >> jimmy: it didn't come out good? >> no, we made every possible mistake. >> we'd never ton this done thi. >> if you remember at the end of the pilot, the twins are having sex and it's supposed to be kind of a shock because they're twins. >> jimmy: yeah. >> so we showed the episode to three of our good friends who are writers, very smart people and at the end we looked at them and said okay, what have you got? they're kind of looking at each other and kind of embarrassed, and they said are those two blondes, are they related in some way? they didn't realize they were brother and sister. so we had messed up the obvious story-telling possibilities, and hbo for some reason decided to give us another chance. >> jimmy: you must be good in a meeting. how many millions of dollars do

you think they wasted on that first pilot? >> ten? >> i don't know exactly, but i think about 10.6. >> jimmy: 10.6. that is remarkable. good for them, by the way, for having that faith in you guys. that unfounded, ridiculous faith in you guys. >> almost call it foolish faith. >> jimmy: almost foolish faith. and as far as the actual, like mythology or whatever you want to call it, the depth of the show goes, do you have, when people are speaking volarian or whatever, is it like klingon where people can learn? >> we tried to make everything as realistic as possible. obviously it is not our world. if is a world exist, but we don't have any nojs f

no knowledge for making up languages, but we found someone who does. for some it's the hardest thing to learn and they hated it.it.i. >> jimmy: who's best at it? >> emilia is great because she has to do reams of it. the only person who really knows is david. jacob anderson who plays gray worm who is amazingly talented recording artist who moonlights with us as gray worm. david says the jacob is a native speaker of valerian. it's a real language that only david understands. and he says that jacob speaks it better than anyone, and jacob, you know, jacob was in the episode on sunday, the long night episode. >> jimmy: yeah. >> and he spent many, 50, probably a good portion of those 55 nights, jacob was out there

in the mud. fighting in the muck in front of winterfell fighting. and at one point, the director, he's delirious, tired, halfway through, miguel starts yelling at jacob to improvise something in valerian. i don't know why he would have to do it in valerian, because he was wearing a mask. he said yell to your troops in valerian, and jacob was so tired and delirious and out of it, all he could think to yell was mike pence, mike pence, mike pence. so in one of those scenes, when jacob is yelling and pointing, he's, whatever he said was dubbed over. but he was actually saying mike pence, mike pence, mike pence. >> jimmy: all right. we're going to take a break. when we come back, i have questions, serious questions to ask you, so be prepared to answer them. >> all right. >> jimmy: david benioff & d.b. weiss are here.

we'll be right back. ♪

>> jimmy: we are back.

a couple questions. i don't know if you'll be able to answer them, but are we for sure done with the white walkers? >> we're not going to answer that. >> jimmy: you can't answer. did bran know that aria was going to kill the knight king? >> possibly. >> jimmy: okay. will someone take the iron throne? >> possibly. >> jimmy: do you, how do you tell an actor that they're getting killed? how, what is the way you go about that? >> traditionally, we made these death calls. >> jimmy: death calls. >> yeah. before the actors get the scripts, we want to tell them personally. >> jimmy: uh-huh. >> so we get their number and call them up and, you know, sometimes it's hard, and sometimes if you don't like the actor much -- >> jimmy: can we call one of your actors and tell them they're going to die, you know? do you have anyone's phone number that you could, you want to call one? >> yeah, yeah.

>> jimmy: oh, okay. all right, this could be fun. all right. i feel like i'm on the inside. [ applause ] >> you shush yure you want to d live? >> jimmy: absolutely. >> it's kind of personal. >> jimmy: call somebody and let's see what we get here. >> hello? >> hey. [cheers and applause] >> hey, jay, it's dan and dave. how you doin', man? >> i'm sorry to tell you this, dude, but it's over. you're dead on the show. >> yeah, i know. i'm aqua man now. [cheers and applause] >> jimmy: is there any chance aqua man shows up in the finale? >> possibly. >> jimmy: where will you watch the finale? will you be together? >> oh, we're not.

we're going to take our wives to an undisclosed location. >> jimmy: but you will be together? >> the four of us. and we are going to turn our phones off. >> drinking tequila, and coming back when it's over. >> jimmy: all right, all right. i tell you what, i love the show. i'm so sad that it's over. i don't know what i'm going to do with myself. if you have any suggestions, please let me know. >> you could work even more. >> jimmy: that's a lot of fun. thanks for coming. i appreciate t there are three episodes left. sunday nights on hbo. i want to thank tom brady, david benioff, and d.b. weiss and jason momoa. apologies to matt damon's mailbox. "nightline" is next. thanks for watching. good night.

this is "nightline." tonight, swipe right. >> i'm looking for another republican-leaning person that shares similar views. >> the dating app catering to conservatives. >> if you are a feminist, goat off my app. >> politics makes for strange bedfellows. the crowd trying to make their america date again. >> first thing i see is your boobs. we don't want to lead with your boobs ever. plus, screen time. is tech taking over our lives? the startling experiment. diane sawyer
