tv Jimmy Kimmel Live ABC October 15, 2019 11:35pm-12:37am PDT
11:35 pm
that's our report. we appreciate your time. >> all of "jimmy kimmel live." tonight, sir elton john, >> dicky: from hollywood, it's guillermo on the road to brooklyn, and music from thom yorke: tomorrow's modern boxes. and now, act naturally, jimmy kimmel! >> jimmy: i am the host of the show. thanks for coming. thanks for joining us on yet another debate night in america. democratic debate number four from columbus, ohio, hosted by fake news cnn and the failing "new york times," 12 democrats took to the stage to angrily
11:36 pm
agree with each other for hours. ohio is a state where democrats hope will swing back their way. tonight there are a lot of candidates with a lot to say. >> the main point i want to make -- >> that is not working for americans across this country. it works great for the wealthy. >> demonizing -- >> and it must change. [ all talking at once ] the doebate is back right after this short break. >> jimmy: why are there 12 candidates in the debate now? last debate there were ten. you can't subtract candidates and then add back. you don't go to the final four and then suddenly you're back to the elite eight. it's not the way it works.
11:37 pm
amy klobuchar is still -- she's eight laps behind and stopped to have lunch and she's still in the race. it doesn't make sense. they need to pare this down. it's like the menu at the cheese cake factory. there's too much to choose from. let's go through the cheese cake factory and the candidates. elizabeth warren is the super oxidated salad. bernie, chicken salad sandwich, all over your chin, mayor pete is the children's brunch. beto o'rourke and andrew yang are the roadside sliders all falling off their skate boards. core ear booker is the angel hair, hold the angel hair. amy klobuchar is rene's special, tulsi gabbard is the luau salad, mostly nuts, kamala harris of a
11:38 pm
cad avenue toast and cass trand steyer is the impossible burger because those are his chances of winning and they're all trying to defeat the world famous pumpkin cheese cake donald trump. as if those weren't enough candidates, the former mayor of new york michael bloomberg is said to be thinking about running. i didn't know you could still. if joe biden drops out, bloomberg might swoop in. he's 77 years old. imagine being that old and not knowing what you want to do with your life. have you seen the shoe on the internet that's really been firing people up? some people say they say pink and white here whereas normal people see teal and gray. all right, calm down. this photo has apparently been
11:39 pm
making the round for a number of years but is back in the spotlight in part thanks to will smith. >> i saw this image online and i showed it to a bunch of people and it's really, really spectacular what comes back. what color do you see? what color do you see? show five or six people, whoever is around you and ask them what color do they see and i think you'll be surprised at what the answer is. there's no right answer, but it's definitely not pink. >> right. i agree with will smith. but the woman who owns the shoes, who had them on her feet says they're pink and white because it's mind boggling. who in the audience sees pink and white? [ cheers ] and how many see teal and gray. [ cheers ] >> i don't understand how it can possibly. >> it's pink and white!
11:40 pm
>>se! there's absolutely no reason -- why are people fighting about this? it's just a shoe. oh, now come on! >> it's pink and white. >> guys, please. just -- it doesn't matter. it doesn't matter. it doesn't matter. give each other a hug. come on now. let's see. a little hug here. here we go, here we go. >> jimmy: all right. that was one of the stupider things we've done. orange ant white president. can we agree on that, just reached a bigley milestone. since taking office in 2017, donald trump has now made more than 13,000 false or misleading clal claims. that doesn't even count the ones
11:41 pm
he tells melania at home. it's like a lie per diet coke for him. 13,000 is a lot of times to do anything in throw ee -- i don't think hive had water 13,000 times in the last three years. the wall is being built, he's done more than any president, he hasn't done anything illegal and he's a stable genius. counting lies makes us sound like nerds, first of all. second, it doesn't change anyone's mind. what's the plan? trump will hit 15,000 and suddenly your uncle will say that's enough, i'm for elizabeth warren now. he tried telling the truth once, didn't like the way he felt, never did it again. many of the president's false clams have been about joe biden's son hunter and his work with a gas company in ukraine. hunter biden had an interview
11:42 pm
this morning in which he admitted he probably wouldn't have been able to be on the board if it wasn't for his father being president unlike ivanka trump. but team trump has been spreading all kinds of nonsense against hunter biden. they could point out hunter biden is a 49-year-old man who wears two bracelets. i mean, for me that's all i need to know. this ukraine storm is not letting up. we learned from testimony yesterday that trump's national security adviser john bolton was so concerned about trump's arm twist in ukraine, he told the senior director for russian affairs to report it to white house lawyers. bolton was apparently no fan of rudy giuliani's. he reportedly called him a hand grenade that was going to blow everyone up and he would not be part of whatever drug deal trump's team was cooking up in
11:43 pm
ukraine. this is surprising. who could have predicted this guy was unhappy with trump? he always looked on so lovingly at him. it's like being followed around by a disappointed sheriff from the old west. as for rudy giuliani, he announced today that he will not comply with a subpoena from congress and he has parted ways with his attorney. says he doesn't need an attorney. all he needs is love. and cigarettes to use as money in prison. and with all this going on, where the hell is trump's former press secretary sean spicer? ♪ ♪
11:44 pm
sean spicer is so happy to not be in the white house nanymore. that wasn't even for the show. he was just dancing. but the president doesn't need sean spicer anymore. >> president trump's acquiescence to turkey's move to send troops deep inside syrian's territory has in only one week's time turned into a bloody carnage, and given an unands 'tis patrioted victory to four american adversaries, raugs, iran, the syrian government and the islam being state. your response tonight? >> >> if you ask the average american, i think they would have to google who are the kurds and who are the americans
11:45 pm
fighting this war? >> and they would have to ask who is the heart leless i lesle lip injections on the news? >> on happier munews, we are packing up and heading east to the brooklyn academy of music where we'll be jond by bruined springsteen, ally kemper, eddie murphy and some surprise luminaries will join us as well. we've tasked guillermo with the job on going cross country on a bus to spread the news like a drunken paul revere and today the guillermo mobile turned into chicago.ere'shouse
11:46 pm
and there is gauillermo among te revellers. hi, everybody. how's it going? guillermo. how you doing, guillermo? can you hear me, guillermo? >> guillermo: yes, jimmy, how you doing? >> jimmy: i'm doing well. how was the ride from dallas to chicago? hif >> guillermo: almost 18 hours. >> jimmy: do you know what state you're in right now? >> guillermo: illinois. >> jimmy: very good. the old town ale house is known for these paintings all over the walls. is the guy to made the paintings there with you tonight, guillermo? >> guillermo: he's right here. >> jimmy: that's bruce elliott. what do you got there for us, bruce? bruce is mad already. oh, bruce. wow. look at that.
11:47 pm
wow. >> the reason i made guillermo bigger than you, jimmy, is because i used to be a side kick a few times myself. i know how hard it is making a star look good and guillermo does a great job of doing that. >> guillermo: i agree with you. >> that's really where all the talent is is right here. there's guillermo and there's jimmy. >> jimmy: i look a little bit like one of saddam hussein's sons in that painting. it's a little bit like ude. i think that was from guillermo's confirmation or something. bruce, thank you for doing that. oh, bear man is there. bear man's at all the gales. why do they call you bear man? >> hi there, jimmy! >> jimmy: how you doing, bear man? >> jimmy: bear man, we have
11:48 pm
someone you'll be excited about, the safety for the chicago bears, who has the greatest name in the world right now, clint clinton-dix. i think you just got mauled, haha. >> what's up, jimmy. how you doing? >> jimmy: i'm doing good. thanks for coming up and meeting with guillermo. has the city of chicago been welcoming to you? >> it's been great. the fans have been great. >> haha, one question about your name, when you laugh at someone's texts, do you type lol or haha and if so, is that confusing? >> it's definitely confusing but i type lol. >> jimmy: all right, very good. it's quite a party going on there. guillermo, i heard you were up
11:49 pm
pretty late last night. there's a lot of screaming. by the way, these are going to become increasingly less coherent as these go on. where are you headed tomorrow, guillermo? >> guillermo: we'll be there at pittsburgh tomorrow, jimmy. >> jimmy: guillermo will be at the strip district in pittsburgh eating his weight in french fries. thank you bruce, thank you haha. travel safely guillermo. we have great show for you are tonight. we'll be right back with elton john so stick around!

12:24 am
them? >> i learned early on when i was writing the script there's no real way to pitch this film. i said to a friend of mine, i'm working on a script, i think it going to be really good, it's about a little boy and the hitler youth. and he said, "stop, not interested. not interested in that movie, you should not do this." i thought i'm not going to pitch it, i'm just going to write the script. i'm from new zealand. we're useless at pitching. >> jimmy: is that true? >> the new good at pitching. >> new zealish? >> jimmy: we're not good at pitching other countries. . >> jimmy: was hitler your first
12:25 am
choice? >> i was trying to make this film in about 2012 and think hog might play this role. and then i got distracted and went and made three other movies and came back to it in 2017. and fox search light said we've always loved the script, we want to make it with you but only under the condition that you play hitler. i thought they must be trying to pull the last jenga block out of their company, something is going on. but somebody texted me in the end that this film at its heart is about this relationship between these two kids, trying to foster some understanding and overcome this idea of intolerance and hate. i feel like if you had a massive celebrity playing hitler, it would overshadow the importance and the power of that story.
