alvarez and sandhya patel, >> dicky: from hollywood - it's "jimmy kimmel live"! tonight, nikolaj coster-waldau, from "downton abbey", hugh bonneville. and now, take cover, jimmy kimmel! >> jimmy: hello, i'm jimmy. i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching, thank you for coming. thank you for joining us. it's very nice. here in california where apparently, we are, california i've learned, is the pumpkin spice capital of the united states. according to grub hub. no, it's nothing to be proud of. out of all the many states we have, and i think we're up to 50 now, our state, california,

orders the most pumpkin spoic pm stuff of anyplace. california, oregon. i am sure it's a coincidence we have legalized marijuana. i love pumpkin pie, one of my top three favorite pies, but i don't understand all the pumpkin spice. it's in everything, like bedbugs. every year, since starbucks started this, there's a new and hard-to-believe pumpkin spice product. and this year, that product is pumpkin spice spam, which goes on sale monday for a limited time. they're only going to sell it until somebody dies. and then, and the saddest part of it is, i'm going to try it. i'm going to slice into a sweaty block of meat that tastes like a season seasonal glo seasonal gourd, and i'm going to eat it.

i'll start trimming my beard with pumpkin spice beard oil, apply pumpkin spice balm to my lips. these are real items. we didn't make these up. there's pumpkin spice pseudo pso cue. pumpkin spice latte. pumpkin spice for dogs. why do dogs need lattes anyway? all they do is lay around. we even have a pumpkin spice president now. it's too much. [cheers and applause] the make america great pumpkin was in town raising funds for his campaign this week. i guess he did well, he was spotted climbing aboard air force one. and look at this, he has a wad of cash in his back pocket. he says he leaves tips when he

travels, a tip for the maid saying sorry the hand towels are orange now. there is something nutty and totally new and unexpected happening aven happening every day in this white house. last night, you probably don't know about this yet. last night we learned via the "washington post" that a whistle blower in the intelligence community filed a complaint against the president last month that was deemed to be credible and urgent by the inspector general that involves multiple acts by the president, including a promise trump made on a phone call with a foreign leader. this intelligence officer was so disturbed he or she filed a formal complaint under the secret whistle blower protection act. but the white house helped the director of national intelligence decide not to share this blown whistle with congress, which is what he should have done with a complaint of this nature. the president this morning moved on the story like a bitch.

writing another fake news story. virtually every time i speak to a foreign leader i understand there may be various people listening from various agencies, not to mention people from the other country it ever is. no problem. is anybody dumb enough to believe that i would say something inappropriate with a foreign leader? i'm dumb enough to believe it, i don't know, i don't know about any of you. but i am. [cheers and applause] totally dumb. one of the reasons i'm dumb enough to believe it is because remember that time in may of 2017 when you revealed classified information to a bunch of russians in your office? this was a big one. this is going to be a tough one for the president to witch hunt his way out of, because the inspector general who found this complaint to be credbling was nominated by president trump, and he made a statement saying

he disagrees with the decision to withhold it from congress. it suggested no one can blow a whistle on the white house. and the other big question is, what was the promise and who did he make it to? our sources here at abc have managed to uncover some exclusive footage of what they believe was the call in question with a foreign leader. turns out it was a face time call, and let's take a look at that now. >> as you know, we just came out with a fragrance. it's called success by trump. and it's sold at macy's. so i hope you can go to macy's and get the fragrance. it's a hot item. they're having a lot of fun with it, i'm having a lot of fun with it. it's not my primary business, but it is a great business. if you put it on, anything you want will come true. >> jimmy: you can even become president. that's our president now. [ applause ] what could trump have possibly promised?

there are so many possibilities. it could be anything to anyone. in uncertain times like these we turn to a tried and tested device, something we've developed here in house. guillermo, please bring in the wheels of deals. now, as you can see -- [cheers and applause] we have two wheels. on one wheel, names of world le leaders trump was most likely speaking to, on the other wheel, promises he could have made. spin the first one, guillermo, and the first one says? you can spin the next one, now. kim jong un. okay. kim jong un, he promised kim jong un tiffany's inheritance! [cheers and applause] time, guillermo. trump promised, let's see who he promised. he promised prince mohammed bin salman a, kim kardashian's phone

number! [ applause ] you know it's going to be is not a positive , right? situation. on one hand, our president may have made a dangerous promise to a foreign leader. but on the other hand he never keeps his promises. this is one of those rare instances where we're lucky our president is a not-very-intelligent liar. we find out which will happen. either the courts will force the white house to share the whistle blower information or vladimir putin's intelligence service will track him down and serve him a bacon lettuce and plutonium sandwich. melania was there for the grand reopening of the washington monument. there she is with a bunch of kids. they counted down, and she tries her be best to cut that ribbon, but it doesn't go as she hoped, and a guy tries to give her a hand with that, but anyway, she's like, no.

and she's smiling. watch her face here. let's look at that again. if we zoom in on that. you can see smile, smile. bedroom face. poor melania. she is definitely not voting for trump. [ applause ] this is good. this might be as good an argument as i've seen all year for why it might be an excellent idea to give a woman a chance to be president........ >> a little >> one >> jimmy: who needs ipads?

fortunate. my family loved going to the theater and engaging with the arts, but no, my family was medical. my parents met when my father was training to be a doctor and my mom was a nurse. by the time i was growing up, she was, well, she took a job when i was about 10. she'd given up being a nurse to bring up the kids and so on, but then she started doing a job filing in london in an office. so occasionally, dad and i would drop her off as she went off to work and i'd go on errands with him. and then she retired, and many, many, many years later, i opened a newspaper, a london newspaper, and there was a photograph of her office building, and it said mi-6 building to be sold for development. mi-6 be beiing the british equivalent of the cia. and i rang her, and i said mom, this was your office building, was it called century hou h

yes, dear. i said, were you mi-6? and she said i'm just going out to the garden to do some gardening. and the strangest follow up to that was i mentioned this on a radio station in the uk and a few days later i got a phone call. it sounds surreal, from mi-6. >> jimmy: oh, no. >> from the press os, tffice, tr department saying we're trying to get the chaps and girls to be a bit more transparent and inclusive. and some of the chaps and girls feel a bit lonely because some of the work they do is very protected. and we're having these lunchtime chats from people from the outside who come in and talk about influences on their lives. they said would you come along and talk about people who've influenced your life? and so i did. it was the strangest thing going into this lecture theater with about 100 people sitting there with their little plastic boxes

and sandwiches having their lunch break as i talk about people who influenced me, mainly my mom. it was really peculiar. >> jimmy: did they tell you anything about what she did there? >> that was the odd thing. at the end of it, a guy about my age came up and said i worked with your mum. and this was a real strange connection with a world i obviously knew nothing about. i said obviously, i don't need to know, i'm not going to ask what my mum did here. but she said she did filing, and that's fine. and he said yeah, i guess she did do filing, but our diemt s department was back in the day, when i started i was 18 years old and she was one of the senior people, we had to organize the intercepts and make sure they got to the right desk at the right time. so it was file beining, but it interesting filing. >> jimmy: your mom was a spy. >> she wasn't a spy.

>> jimmy: she was a spy! very mysterious. >> but i was rather touched by this strange connection to that past. >> jimmy: i would think so. >> she obviously never talked about it. she went to her grave. and i asked my dad did she ever talk about that? and he said never. >> jimmy: yeah, wei don't talk about stuff at my house, either. we don't know what my dad did for work. the series, "downton abbey," does it pick up where it left off? >> the tv show ended in 2016. the story finished in 1926. and the movie picks up about 18 months later. >> jimmy: i see, all right. >> it isn't one of those tv shows that moves to the south pacific or something like that. >> jimmy: right. >> it's still a story of the crawly family and the people whoive wiwho live and work on the estate of

"downton abbey." it's nearly the same characters taking us on another little chapter of their story. >> jimmy: great to have you here. "downton abbey" the movie opens in theaters tomorrow. and we'll return with music from maren morris. ♪ >> dicky: the jimmy kimmel live concert series is presented by the 2020 gle. mercedes benz. the best or nothing.
