that is our report. we appreciate your time. >> dicky: from hollywood, it's jimmy kimmel live. tonight, taron egerton. senator amy klobuchar and music from the special. and now, suddenly, jimmy kimmel! >> jimmy: welcome, thank you. hi, i'm jimmy. i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. thank you for coming. sit, please, appreciate that. we are back to work here after we had an extra day off for memorial day. i hope you had a good one. this is a big travel weekend. you can really see why when you travel. there's no better way to kick off summer than by listening to your kids fighting in the back seat over an ipad for six hours in a back seat that smells like

gogurt. the president was in japan for the weekend. the trip was a success. we are not at war as a result of it. a few years back on memorial day weekend when he was not president he tweeted, does president obama ever discuss the sneak attack on pearl harbor while he's in japan? thousands of american lives lost, needless to say, trump opted not to bring it up either while he was there. instead, he decided to see obese men fight in diapers. they went to a sumo event at the invitation of the japanese prime minister. as you can see in the background, they had the time of their lives. they really ate it up. trump loved, he loved the sumo so much he's planning to make chris christie and bill barr roll around in the oval office in underpants back home. so at the end of the match, trump entered the dohjo where he

had this understated trophy. he calls this the president's united states cup and he pointed out he paid for it himself. the president had dinner with prime minister abe and his wife. they had a meal at an robutiaki restaurant. >> that was an incredible evening at sumo wrestling, a very ancient sport. so it was really great. thank you very much for being here. >> it's a dangerous move for someone who uses that much hair spray. abe took trump to play golf. they had cheeseburgers together. it was like a divorced dad spending the weekend with his teenaged son. meanwhile, kim jong un did his best to spoil the visit by testing ballistic missiles earlier this month over the sea of japan.

and the north koreans are also lashing out at joe biden. they called the former vice president a fool of low iq. and of course our president was offended by, oh, no, he ate it up like a bucket of extra crispy chicken. he tweeted, north korea fired up some small weapons which disturbed some of my people. and smiled when he called swampman joe biden a low iq individual. perhaps that's sending me a signal? the signal is he knows how to spell biden, and you don't. keep in mind he's in japan. everyone went nuts that he would side with a murderous dictator over an american former vice president. he defended himself, he said i was sticking up for sleepy joe

biden while on foreign soil. kim jong un called him a low-iq idiot and many other things whereas i related the tweet by chairman kim as much softer. who could possibly be upset with that? hard to argue with that, because it's completely insane! meanwhile, we have more shenanigans afoot when it comes to climate change. the white house is reportedly planning to limit federal studies on global warming beyond 20 years. government scientists would only be allowed to make projections up to the year 2040 and not beyond, which of course is when the real trouble is expected to begin. basically, trump is the executive at the beginning of every jurassic park movie thinking it's good idea to bring the dinosaurs back to life and allow people to play with them. it's my problem, it's all of our problem. it's our children's problems,

and if the world becomes a hellish nightmare 20 years from now, i won't ever be able to realize my dream of becoming a semi-retired product endorser like this. >> the following message is paid advertisement targeted at old people. >> hello, i'm former talk show host and acquitted arsonist jimmy kimmel. at my age, taking a bath can be a dangerous thing. the slipping, sliding, who needs it? why risk your very fragile body getting into the tub when the tub can come to you, bathtub pants, pants that are a bathtub, made with 100% rubber, the same material used to make yoga balls. sound too good to be true? >> i can take a bubble bath and golf at the same time. >> i can take a bubble bath and play with my grandkids at the same time.

>> yuck! >> i wear bathtub pants, because there's no safer bath than the one in your pants. >> call 1-800-pants bath to order now. [cheers and applause] >> jimmy: the future, i just hope we have it. we have music from the specials on the show. from rocketman, taron egerton is here. he plays elton john. and from the state of minnesota, one of many, many people running for president, senator amy klobuchar is with us. there are a lot of democrats in the race right now. there are so many, and we're going to be hearing a lot about them over the coming year, so we've come up with a song to help you remember their names. we're going to share it with you now. can you give me some music now?

winds. i think the tornado's like 10 miles tall. so naturally, they broke in live to warn their viewers. unfortunately, they broke in during "the bachelorette," which resulted in some angry feedback from fans of hannah b, who tornado or not, did not want her amazing journey interrupted by the weather. >> i was just checking social media. we have viewers complaining already, just go back to the show. no, we're not going back to the show, folks! this is a dangerous situation. think about if this was your neighborhood, i'm sick and tire of people complained about this. our job here is to keep people safe, and this is what we are going to do. some of you are complaining this is all about my ego. stop! just stop right now. it's not! i'm done with you people, i really am. this is pathetic. [cheers and applause] >> jimmy: he's there for the right reasons. the weatherman becomes the storm!

here's another thing we have to worry about. the world health organization has added a new disease to their long list of them. it's called gaming disorder, an addiction to video games. gaming disorder is marked by a pattern of persistent gaming behavior, increasing priority given to gaming to the extent it takes precedence over other activities. gd is basically vd for people who never had s-e-x. but, is it really a disease, though? i mean, in my day, playing video games for 20 hours straight wasn't called a disorder. it was called college. it was what separated the pack boys from the pac men. but now i think we might have to start vaccinating our children against fortnight.

times have changed a lot over the last 30 years. even the way we tell time. when i was a kid you learned in school how to tell time. they had the thing with all the clocks and you had to write in the time. now we all have phones and we just look at it. it made me wonder if young people even know how to read an old-time clock anymore. you know the round things with the hands? we went on the street and asked people to tell us what time it is, using an analog clock and it's time to find out how they did in this edition of "can you do it". >> can you do it! >> i got a question for you. >> sure. >> can you look at this and tell me what time it is? >> oh, no. no. i can't. >>t is 4:-like 37.

>> it's 2: -- i want to say, no, not 45. >> let me ask you this. where do you go to college? >> uc arlington. >> do you want to say anything to your teachers in college? >> not all. they will be so disappointed that i haven't read a clock like this since elementary school. >> oh, man. it is 8:17. no? >> a.m. or p.m.?

>> last time i was bald, now i'm not. that was just after we'd finished filming "rocketman." and we dyed it orange, thinned my hairline out and it grew back. >> jimmy: were you ever worried it might not grow back? >> every single day. >> jimmy: i worry about that sometimes. if i shave my head, maybe it won't come back and that would be it. >> the anxiety is massive. >> jimmy: i thought you were terrific in the movie. >> thank you, thank you.

>> jimmy: did you know there was another movie called "rocket man"? >> really? >> jimmy: this is a real movie from 1997, starring harlan williams. >> that's exactly how i look in rocket man. >> jimmy: in this one, i did not see this film, but it would seem that he died in space. >> yeah. >> jimmy: not quite the fun of the movie that you made. >> no. >> jimmy: there you go. you saw the premiere with elton john. >> i did, yeah. >> jimmy: what was that like? >> we had this incredible experience. we premiered the movie at cannes. and i'd never been to cannes. >> jimmy: none of us have. >> good. we've got something in common already. this is going to go very well. but apparently, i've been led to believe they can be a little cold if they don't approve. and i've even heard rumors that they can boo. >> jimmy: yeah, they do boo sometimes. >> so i was understandably quite

nervous going in, and i found out, i wasn't sitting next to elton. initially, i was furious. and then the lovely people from the marketing department said well, he's going to sit between his friend of 50 years and his husband, and i was like, all right, all right. >> jimmy: you're him. you're even closer to him than them. >> so i sat here, elton john, david furnish. and dexter fletcher, the director here. and we watch the whole movie, this kind of angle, you know, to try and ascertain if they approved. >> jimmy: had he not seen anything before? >> he'd seen bits, rushes, daily, and the trailer, several million times. >> jimmy: not the whole movie. >> not the whole movie. it was the first time i'd seen it with all the finished effects and everything. and to see them watch the scene in which they meet in 1968 or whatever and be grabbing each other. >> jimmy: bernie? >> bernie and elton. and at the end of the movie, elton, about 50 minutes before

the end, elton absolutely broke down. he was blubbering. so the lights come up. and i'm very moved because elton is moved. but elton, because he's an old pro has managed to get himself looking immaculate again, whereas i'm just melting with all these cameras on me. but it was amazing. i was visualizing scenarios in which we'd get booed. and we received a four-minute standing ovation. >> jimmy: yeah, that's good. [cheers and applause] >> jimmy: and the reviews have been great, too. do you look at that sort of thing? >> i try to avoid reviews, but elton sends me them every day. >> jimmy: he does? >> he's sort of vetting my reviews. i'm sure there are bad ones he's not sending. >> jimmy: he e-mails you? >> he e-mails me and with the same title every time. "and another one". >> jimmy: is there a word from one of his songs? >> no.

>> jimmy: is it anything fun? >> no, it's quite pedestrian. like i'm treading in dangerous. >> jimmy: people wind up getting into his bank account and you're in trouble. it's an auto biography or a biography of elton. of course because it is, there are a lot sex and drugs. >> there's a bit of that, yeah. there's a bit of that. >> jimmy: is that cool with like your family? is there anyone in your family that's -- >> yeah, actually, my uncle. >> jimmy: it's always an uncle. >> isn't it always an uncle of weddings and things? he's an older welsh gentleman, quite traditional. in no way prejudiced but quite traditional. can i swear? >> jimmy: we'd love it if you did. >> very silent during mine and richard madden's love scene, apart from [ bleep ] really loudly.

which i rather enjoyed. >> jimmy: your other relatives reported this to you? >> yeah, they did, my aunt did. she texted me immediately. >> jimmy: one question the movie does not answer, what the hell does "benny and the jets" mean? do you have any idea? >> i have no idea, and i never asked bernie. i quite like the prosaic, nebulous nature of things. we take the songs and use them to tell the story. "benny and the jets" is all about excess and darkness and sort of anger and frustration. >> jimmy: when we come back we're going to see a clip from the movie. when you see it, taron is actually singing. we'll be right back. >> dicky: portions of jimmy kimmel live are brought to you by facebook. let's find more that brings us together. ohhhh man. took my hat off.
