time. dan ashley. >> ama daetz. for lar >> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live"! tonight, donald glover, from "the good place", d'arcy carden, and comedian beth stelling. and now, jimmy kimmel! ♪ >> jimmy: i'm jimmy, i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. thank you for coming. thank you for joining us here in sunny los angeles where a, anyone still feeling nervous about the earthquakes? we had two big earthquakes, as you likely know, over the weekend. god tried the bottle cap challenge this weekend with all the bottles in california. and now, now, as the aftershocks die down, we're just sitting here waiting for the next one. guillermo, are you prepared for an earthquake?

>> yes, of course. >> jimmy: do you have an emergency kit at home? >> yes, i do. we're going to get under the table and backpack by the door with water. >> jimmy: do you have the backpack itself? >> yes. >> jimmy: what's in it? >> water, cookies and tequila. >> jimmy: okay. [cheers and applause] >> i do. >> jimmy: that would be fine if were you the cookie monster, but you need to have bandages. you need iodine, you need all of that stuff. in fact, i went online, and i've been looking at emergency-type products. this is how i calm myself down. i go and buy things. but there are a lot of items you can get for when the worst-case scenario happens. these are real. this can be purchased right now online, this is the gluten free emergency food kit. because the last thing you want to be is bloated when you're drinking toilet water to be alive. that is at my patriot supply.

this is the storage container, also known as a garbage can. this is a flashlight that screws onto a water bottle for $12, or you can just get a lantern for $12. that's a good idea until you drink an aaa battery. here we have a bandana. why would you want to be camouflaged after an earthquake? did you cause the earthquake and are hoping to get away? if not, i would like to be found. this one is an earthquake alarm. so when the ground starts to shake, this loud alarm will let you know. or the fact that the ground is shaking will let you know. i will buy that if there's a snooze button on it, like if i need seven more minutes and then the earth can quake.

or this, the family disaster pod. this is a large metal container for you and your family to die in together. then you don't need coffins, because you're already, and it's made in florida, in case you hadn't already guessed. so. as you can see whether you're in earthquake country or not, some really good stuff out there available for purchase. by the way, i hate it to be gloomy, but i do wish to wish a happy birthday to tom hanks, jack white, fred savage and this guy, who posted a video to twitter today to celebrate himself. >> that's what i'm talkin' about. hey, twitter world, this is yours truly. you know, it's hard for me to believe that today i'm celebrating my 33rd annual 39th birthday. >> it's hard for me to believe, too, that you're celebrating on a golf course instead of in a prison. but o.j. is 72 years old today.

[cheers and applause] 72. 72 years ago today someone thought it was a good idea to write orenthal on a birth certificate. show the clip again. i'm fascinated with how he begins this video. >> that's what i'm talkin' about. >> jimmy: like he's doing a commercial for arthritis cream or something. on oj's birthday, do you think his family lets him cut the cake? i'm not sure if it's too soon or too late. but instagram yesterday, i don't know if you noticed this, launched a new feature that they hope will help crackdown on bullying, so just when you're about to post a comment that could be offensive, instagram senses it and sends you a message to make you stop and reconsider. for real. goes like this. let's say you post something like you are a worthless piece of trash. you get a little notification that says are you sure you want to post this?

and then you say, yeah, you're damn right i want to post this. that's why i wrote it. this makes me want to go on instagram to try out stuff. but the world's most famous cyber bully, donald trump suffered a back step. he cannot block his critics on twitter. he has to open his account to everyone. [cheers and applause] it's historic, because this is the first time a federal court has ever ruled that a president's skin is legally too thin. trump, as you probably know, has blocked a lot of accounts, including stephen king, chrissy. all of which he had to unblock because of this case. a spokesman said they're disappointed in the decision and exploring possible next steps. that seems like a good use of time. maybe he can get the crowd at

his next rally to shout "block her up." the president was up early. the ambassador sent what were supposed to be secret government cables to england that got leaked in which he described our president as inept, incompetent and says his career could end in disgrace. which i don't know that they needed a secret cable to determine that. it seems that they could watch any press conference, but at 7:48 a.m., trump fired back, the wacky ambassador that the uk foisted upon the united states is not someone we are thrilled with, a very stupid guy. then later, i don't know the ambassador but have been told he is a pompous fool. the best thing is, i didn't even know the ambassador had written this stuff about him until he tweeted about it. so thank you for the heads up. and, as a result of this, the white house uninvited the ambassador to a dinner last night honoring the amir of

qatar. but look who was at the dinner, sitting right at donald trump's table in fact. that's patriot's owner and massage enthusiast, robert kraft, who -- [ applause ] -- he got do go. he still looks relaxed. that must have been some rub down, really. one week from tomorrow, special counsel robert mueller is scheduled to testify in front of congress about the palooza. team trump is very busy pushing back. william barr accused democrats of doing this to create a public spectacle. to me, a public spectacle is the president ordering tanks for his celebration. democats have accused the

attorney general of being president trump's personal lawyer. bill barr has never handed a bag of cash to a porn star, he's not trump's personal lawyer. he's also a bagpiper. for real. he plays the bagpipes and put on a little show at the u.s. attorneys' conference. ♪ ♪ [ applause ] >> jimmy: so you see he's actually really good with the bagpipes. such a beautiful instrument, it really is.

soul was crushed. >> jimmy: did any of the actors go on to do other things? >> one of my favorite shows that i also happen to be on is "broad city". >> jimmy: oh, yes. >> and one of the actors, arturo who plays jaime, was on his way to an audition. >> jimmy: he was. wow. >> that's rude of me to say that. i should not out him like that. >> jimmy: i think it's okay as long as things are now going well. >> well, for some. >> jimmy: for arturo, for sure. >> yes. >> jimmy: maybe for the artist, no. >> maybe not. >> jimmy: maybe not. >> but for me, the star of disney's lion king. >> jimmy: the star. i did see your name right above beyonce's. this is the final season of "the good place." you're shooting it right now? >> today even. came here right from work. >> jimmy: so you were there with kristin and the entire gang?

>> the entire gang was there. you fall in love with your people. this is our fourth season. it's bitter sweet to be done, but we're kind of sucking up every last moment, is that the phrase? >> jimmy: soaking, i think. unless, unless you guys are closer than most casts. but yeah. it's soaking, i think. >> we're not odd. soaking up. >> jimmy: there's a surprise at the end of each season where you learn something or you think you learn something and then as it goes on. >> very twisty. >> jimmy: there is an episode, and were you going to show us a behind the scenes video. explain what happened. >> to explain the episode, it would be so confusing if you hadn't watched it. but basically i play a siri-like body. and in this particular episode, oh, boy, i'll start by this. i took them into my void, and

they all, all the different characters looked like me, which means me, the actor, d'arcy had to play all those characters. >> jimmy: which means they took the week off and you had to play all the parts. >> but they got paid, how is that? >> jimmy: again you're being screwed over just like the tour bus. >> it was a busy week, and i played all these roles. but there was one scene where, i'm going to try to do this, where i was playing kristin, and i was playing this actor, william jackson harper. i'm playing them. but in this moment they become themselves, the actors. so while we're doing something they turn into themselves. so i brought a behind the scenes clip of us doing a thing. >> jimmy: this is a behind the scenes, and it's literally behind us. >> and i should tell you, kristin is a little shorter than me in real life. >> jimmy: uh-huh. >> so this is a very technical

smooching scene where we had to match perfectly, and i mean perfectly. the scene i had done before where i was kissing myself, this doesn't make sense unless you've seen it. so we're on like rotating table, and the director right now is like turn your head a little bit, now mash your lips together. and it looks like i'm kissing my daughter. >> jimmy: yeah. it looks like -- >> it looks like i'm kissing a hot child. >> jimmy: a fortunate babysitter. but that's good, though. that's fun for really everyone. >> it is fun. >> jimmy: thank you for coming.

you can see her starting july 22nd at the just for laughs comedy festival in montreal. from "jimmy kimmel's comedy club" in las vegas, nevada, please welcome beth stelling! [cheers and applause] ♪ >> hey! hello, vegas! thank you. thank you. i've been here 24 hours, and i've already been to chippendale's just to see an old friend. who's been to chippendale's? we have some magic mikers here? we have to remember chippendale's walk so magic mike can run. we have to pay our respects. when you went to chippendale's, did you have a little celebrity guest host? no? i thought they always had one. were you boozing a little bit? a little boozy.

i like to remain clear-headed at a review. our celebrity guest host was tony develani from "dancing with the stars." i don't know who he is, but our moms do. he's a very handsome, charismatic man. there is a portion of the show called the chip shot where ladies are invited up on stage to participate in a series of rigorous events in order to win a very prestigious award called the chip shot. so i'm sitting up at the front with my friends and some other comedians, and tony asks who wants to come up and participate. and one of my special skills is a murder scream. so i just really let it rip and i think i scared him. he's like, ah, get up here, whatever makes it stop. now the first event is speed dress at chippendale. very counter intuitive, not why we came. but i'm competitive person, and all i had to do was clip on some wristlets and a bow tie situation, and basically i'm

ready to be a mother. so i'm passed to the next round, which is reenact your favorite sexual position with a chippendale, which was difficult for me, because mine is tied to the ceiling fan. so i was like, i don't know how we're going to do this, but we managed. i proceed, by the way, women are dropping like flies, okay? it's down to me and two other women, one of which was a real exotic dancer? i was like, what are you doing here, lady? take a night off! so the third and final event is give a chippendale a lap dance. so they set up these three chairs. i'm paired with tyler. tony is in the back here judging. the music starts. i whip out a little handstand into a straddle into tyler's face. and my friends here lose their minds. because they did not know that i could do that. my ex-boyfriend was also there,

not as happy. he was like, you can do that? now there are no cameras allowed at chippendale's, but my whole routine was captured by a woman who works at chippendale's, she's a den mother of sorts. her name's shaja. and she came up and said i got all of that. i don't know what made her do it. i would imagine the inciting incident was the beginning of the video, you can see me hike my jeans up as high as they can possibly go. and she was probably in the back of the room going, i'm going to need to get this. so in the video, as i'm spreading my gates of heaven for tyler, upon which he fake motorboats my hoot. i don't blame him. he saw an opportunity, and he took it. that is what separates the amateurs from the pros. so in the video, you see the

professional video look at this happening and sort of point and go, as if to say, i'm not on the clock, just give it to her, so i won. i won the chip shot. [cheers and applause] thank you. there is no physical award. just the honor that it brings upon your family. i do think that my mom was happy that those gymnastic classes finally paid off. were you not, mom? oh, my god!
