tomorrow afternoon even heavier. >> thank you so much for watching. for everyone here at abc 7 news we thank you for watching. and >> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live." tonight -- garth brooks, and comedian mike birbiglia. and now, for the time being, jimmy kimmel! ♪ [cheers and applause] >> jimmy: thank you. hello, i'm jimmy. i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. thanks for coming. that's very nice. i appreciate it. and i welcome you on a, on a day, you know, we may, in the years to follow, we may lack back on this day as one of the most interesting and important days in the modern political history of our country. i've been saying this almost every day for the past three

years. but today really was something, i mean it's just, a ukraine storm hit washington in a bigly way. we have moved past watergate into floodgate. this was an incredible day. we heard live testimony today from the key man in the middle of all this. trump's ambassador to the eu, gordon sondland. this is not a never trumper. this is not a civil servant. this is not a democrat. this is one of trump's wealthiest donors, a wealthy hotel magnate, who was given the position after he donated a million dollars to trump's inauguration fund. he was the quid pro quo in the quo. so today sondland took the stand and said this. >> i know that members of this committee frequently frame these complicated issues in the form of a simple question. was there a quid pro quo? as i testified previously, with regard to the requested white house call and the white house

meeting, the answer is yes. >> jimmy: and just like that, donald trump's defense disappeared faster than he downs a bucket of kfc. it was -- [cheers and applause] i mean, it doesn't make sense. it's, this doesn't make sense. he tweeted so many times, there was no quid pro quo. look at all these tweets! they're all right there! and not only, did he tweet it, he said it, too. >> there was no quid pro quo. >> no quid pro quo. >> no quid pro quo. >> no quid pro quo. >> no quid pro quo. >> no quid pro quo. >> no quid pro quo. >> no quid pro quo. >> no quid pro quo. >> no quid pro quo. >> no quid pro quo. no quid pro quo. >> no quid pro quo. >> jimmy: i'm impressed that he can say it. [cheers and applause] i will say that. doesn't it sound like he's yelling through a broken burger

king drive through window. staffers in the white house were said to be blindsided this morning. it would appear our president has been caught orange-handed. and i don't think -- i tell you something. i don't think gordon sondland's getting his million dollars back. i really don't. it's poetic watching donald trump get taken down by a bald man. he said i pressed ukraine for an investigation at the express direction of the president. sondland screwed the president so thoroughly today. trump reflexively paid him to shut up. somebody's going to pay for this and it may be america's mayor. >> mr. giuliani conveyed that president trump wanted a public statement from president zelinsky, committing to investigations of burisma and the 2016 election. mr. giuliani expressed those requests directly to the

ukrainians, and mr. giuliani also expressed those requests directly to us. we all understood that these prerequisites for the white house call and the white house meeting reflected president trump's desires and requirements. >> jimmy: that's big. that could be the nail in giuliani's coffin, which is especially problematic, because that's where he sleeps. and sondland said he and others did not want to work with giuliani, but they had to play the hand they were dealt by the president, and this is maybe the president trumpiest part of the whole deal. sondland testified the president wanted ukrainian, the ukrainians to announce an investigation into the bidens, but they didn't actually to do the investigation, kind of like if you announce you're going to build a wall, and, you know? sondland said trump didn't seem to care if the investigations actually took place. which is how you, which is how you know he really cares about corruption in the ukraine, but he just wanted people to know that these guys were looking at

joe biden. like signing up for a marathon. you just want to post about it on instagram. giuliani wasn't the only one in the loop. guess who else was in the loop, too. >> everyone was in the loop. >> jimmy: everyone. everyone was in the loop. the president. the vice president. secretary of state, chief of staff. rick perry, john bolton, quite a list. and today they all went under the bus. there wasn't even room for all of them. they had to go under in shifts. poor mike pence. the one time they let mike pence in the loop, it's a federal crime. this kind of tells you all you need to know about how things went today. look at these headlines. vice president pence left d.c. area minutes after sondland started testifying. mike pompeo seeking for a safe exit from state after senate run. the easiest way to tell if

someone's about to leave the trump administration is if they are currently in the trump administration, it was a damning day. where does this leave the ranking republican in the house? devin nunes had to dig extra deep. in fact he had to go all the way back to the revolutionary war. >> finally, the democrats' fake outrage that president trump used his own channel to communicate with ukraine. remind my friends on the other side of the aisle that our first president, george washington, directed his own diplomatic channels to secure a treaty with great britain. if my democratic colleagues were around in 1794, they'd probably want to impeach him, too. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: you know, i think devin nunes may have studied history at trump university. he's an imbecile. watch his face when they break for recess after sondland blew the whole place up. >> that concludes our 45 minutes.

i now recognize mr. nunez. why don't we take a five or ten minute break. >> thank you. >> all right, so that was explosive testimony there. >> jimmy: that's the same face trump made the day don jr. was born. it's a sad face. it's a very sad face. [cheers and applause] i have to say, this gordon sondland is an interesting character. one of the lighter moments today was when he weighed in on what he said during a call with trump. >> you confirmed to president trump that you were in ukraine at the time and that president zelinsky, quote, loves your ass, unquote. do you recall saying that? >> yeah, it sounds like something i would say. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: that's about as gordie as it gets. it was a historic day. not only was there a chat about the president's bottom. it set a record for most impeachment mentions of the

hip-hop star. >> a$ap rocky. >> a$ap rocky. >> a$ap rocky. >> a$ap rocky. >> a$ap rocky. >> jimmy: more rockies than sylvester stallone. i don't think we can overstate how unusual that is. that would be if the large portion of watergate hearings revolved around sly and the family stone. president trump was in his office eating cans of diet coke. he charged out to the white house lawn to try to some how claim a victory. >> i'm going to have a quick comment on what's going on in terms of testimony with ambassador sondland, and i just noticed one thing, and i would say that means it's all over. >> jimmy: well, i hope you're right about that. [cheers and applause] from your greasy lips to god's ears. i'm sure you're surprised to

learn that trump now claims he doesn't really know gordon sondland. >> i don't know him very well. i haven't spoken to him much. this is not a man i know well, seems like a nice guy, though. but i don't know him well. he was with other candidates. he actually supported other candidates, not me. came in late. >> jimmy: why do i get the feeling when this presidency ends trump will claim he's never heard of donald trump. his big defense now is the new defense is that he told sondland, no quid pro quo. but, of course, he said that after the whistle-blower blew, when he was desperately trying to cover his tracks. >> but here's my response. now, if you weren't fake news, you'd cover it properly. i said to the ambassador in response, i want nothing. i want nothing. i want no quid pro quo. tell zelinsky, president zelinsky to do the right thing. so here's my answer. i want nothing. i want nothing.

i want no quid pro quo. tell zelinsky to do the right thing. then he says, this is the final word from the president of the united states. i want nothing. thank you, folks, have a good time. >> jimmy: you know usually when trump screams "i want nothing" is when the white house orders salad for lunch. but he doesn't seem okay. has anyone considered the possibility that that unscheduled visit he made to walter reed over the weekend was to get his doctor to implant a cyanide tooth? in the meantime, as if that all wasn't enough political theater, there was a democratic debate tonight, this is the first debate ever to begin with a round of tequila shots. why are they even having a debate today? the white house is imploding. just take a knee and run out the clock. the previous debate had 12 candidates on the stage. tonight it was narrowed down to ten. next time it will be widened

back up to 12. the debate was held at tyler perry's studios in atlanta. that was from interesting, because if were you to take cory booker, elizabeth warren, bernie sanders and kamala harris and mash them all together, you would get madea. [cheers and applause] but no one cares about the debate tonight. the big story of the day was gordon sondland and his testimony. he gave several hours on the stand. they covered a lot. but i still have questions. so we tracked him down, and he's joining us now from washington, d.c. thank you for join being us tonight, ambassador. oh. ambassador. [cheers and applause] ambassador, are you, are you still at the hearing? >> that's correct. >> jimmy: i thought it ended hours ago. >> it did, but i'm afraid to leave. >> jimmy: why are you afraid to leave? do you think the president is angry with you. >> he's angrier than greta thunberg in a hyundai

dealership. he's angrier than jim jordan with an expired rogaine coupon. >> jimmy: do you believe the president committed a crime? >> a crime? the guy's committed more crimes than jeffrey epstein at an american girl doll store. the president's more red-handed than robert kraft's masseuse. who i know personally. he's more crooked than michael jackson's penis. allegedly. >> jimmy: i think we get the point. i think we get the point here. about the president. >> the only thing he's obstructed more than justice are his own arteries. i've personally seen the president dip his cheeseburgers in mayonnaise. he makes the security guy,

guillermo, look like wilber valderrama. >> jimmy: for those unfamiliar with your history, how did you come to become the ambassador to the eu? >> interesting story. have you heard of money? >> jimmy: yeah, yes. >> i gave trump a lot of that. >> jimmy: okay. >> and he made meet ambassador. that's how it works. it's called a quid pro quo, jimmy, google it. >> jimmy: i will. and i know you have the testimony, but how would you describe your relationship with the president today? >> hmm. uh, i'd say it's a$ap rocky. >> jimmy: because the president is now saying he doesn't really know you. >> seriously? ♪ who let the dogs out >> jimmy: what is that, your phone? >> it's probably giuliani butt dialing me again. >> jimmy: we'll wait if you want to take the call. >> [ bleep ] i'm going to rip out your heart and cover it in

arby's horsy sauce. >> i'll have to get back to you. that was my wife. >> jimmy: where do you think you will go from here? >> i'll be doing what any disgraced member of the administration would do.

a lot different now than then. >> jimmy: how so? >> nobody was there until you had one single. 90 minutes, one single. you'd play three or four times a night. and each time they'd act like it was the first time they'd heard it, and it was so sweet. now you go in there, thank god's packed and you have a list this long. they know every song. start it, they finish it. easiest gig on the planet. >> jimmy: did you ever, in those early days, feel like, oh, no, this is a bad place for me to be in. i might actually be in danger here? >> oh, yeah, it's a honky tonk, everybody's in danger. we played this one gig. i kept waiting to get to oklahoma. of the seven guys that started, five of us are still together. we brought some buddies down from northern oklahoma. here it comes, two, three songs in, the fight starts. two band members already in it. the next thing i know, the whole place is burning. the whole place burned down.

>> jimmy: on fire. >> we didn't get paid that night. that was another day on the tour, man. >> jimmy: so you're saying the worst gigs are when the venue burns down at the end. >> no, i'm saying the best gigs are when the building burns down. >> jimmy: the best.

do the song. is it something you've been working on for a while? >> no, i saw him do "god's country" and i thought he did great and i called him up. you could tell he was listening to what he was singing. that's first thing about a performer, entertainer is sincerity. just loved him. got with him in the studio. he was great. >> jimmy: you've won entertainer of the year seven times i think, the most ever. who's second after you, do you know? >> i have no idea. i'm a george strait fan. i think george is the only guy who's won it three different decades. he's like the king. you try not to keep up with the numbers. just lucky we're still in if this long. people for some reason show up. >> jimmy: i want to ask you about this box set, because it's very heavy. what is in this? >> vinyl. >> jimmy: boots in here? what's going on? >> can you believe vinyl is back?

created an ancestry.com profile for me. >> jimmy: yes. >> in real time. this is not an ad. if anything, it's a cautionary tale, because i went home that night, and i was up till 5:00 in the morning. you get completely addicted. you're like, there's a clue! there's a leaf! and then my wife got addicted. and then they were like, who's cousin claire? it says she's on the 1920 census, but nobody's heard of her! maybe it's, it's madness. >> jimmy: who is cousin claire? did you figure it out? >> she's on the census, but no one knows who she is. but it's this thing i got totally addicted to. and then jen and i, after about four days of being completely glued to this, we went cold turkey, and then my brother, a few weeks ago who runs my company, he calls me and says hey, you got a really big bill from ancestry.com. are you still doing that?

>> jimmy: what, are they charging you by the uncle? >> yeah, the auto renewed the thing. so i had to cut myself off. but you're like, you're in the family. >> jimmy: also i'm ocd. so it's a nice little combination of things. i just wanted to know what was going on in your family, and it wound up there. >> it's very possible we're related. because we're both brooklyn. >> jimmy: italian. >> italians, so yeah. >> jimmy: but i feel like we'd know by now. i do have a cousin claire. do you know her? how many times, by the way, your show is fantastic. it's so funny. >> thanks. thank you so much. you've been so supportive. >> jimmy: how many times have you performed it now? >> like, like almost 500 times. and then probably in some form like about a thousand times. work shopping it. >> jimmy: a thousand times. >> yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. >> jimmy: you probably have a lot of big stars come to your show, but i mean, this is pretty big. brad pitt came to your show.

>> yeah, yeah. >> jimmy: your first show. >> that's, that's a fission expression i have, called "playing it cool." i, i am so embarrassed of that photo. >> jimmy: by the way. >> you know, that's my wife. >> jimmy: yeah, seems to be tucking herself right in there to brad. >> she is, her face is so close to his chest. that's my wife jen, and he was so sweet. he came, he came backstage and we talking and they go, mike, you have to go out and sign, jen and i wrote a book together, it comes out mother's day, they preorder, i sign a poster in the lobby. and i said to the stage manager, can you grab jen? she's supposed to sign too. and the stage manager goes back and she's still talking to brad. >> jimmy: mm-hm. >> and says, excuse me, mike wants to see you.

and then she comes out, and i never thought in my whole life i'd hear the words from my wife, she said you ruined my conversation with brad pitt. you know, i defend that. because i'm just trying to save my marriage here. you know, it's like, you're in hollywood. next thing you know, you have brad pitt hitting on your wife. what about the regular people. >> jimmy: yeah, what are you going to do? >> [ bleep ]. >> jimmy: if brad pitt wants your wife, you just have to give her to him. you got a nice review in the l.a. times, except for one weird part. you want to read that? >> if the new one is ever adapted into a movie, paul rudd must star. paul rudd must star! do you, this town of los angeles is so celebrity focussed. you show up in this town, and you perform. you get out, you go hey, i'm an actor.

i got a show. i made a movie off one of these shows, and they go, you know what, this would be good if it had johnny depp. but no. >> jimmy: is paul interested? the project? >> i instagramed that quote from the los angeles times. and the review is very sweet and charles mcnulty's a great critic whom i like. but i instagramed the thing and the next morning, paul rudd e-mailed me and said "do i have to audition." >> jimmy: of course not, he's "ant man." you can't audition "ant man." so sunday is the show. are there other big celebrities planning to show up for the show? what's going on there? >> i don't, well. >> jimmy: what are the audiences in l.a. like. >> what's funny about this, the last time i was here i played the wilshire, this is a prestigious, broadway series. if you get tickets to this it's because you also got tickets to

"book of mormon" or whatever. >> jimmy: you get a package. >> a lot of people don't know they're coming to see me. they're coming to see whatever. most of them are great. and some of them are asleep. and that's demoralizing. >> jimmy: yeah, that's no good. >> because you're out there doing your thing. and someone's like dreaming. dreaming of being at sandals resort in the bahamas or something. and then you have to keep going. you can't, you know, you can't, and then i walk out to sign stuff in the lobby afterwards and half the people there are subscribers, so they don't even know who i am. i'm just in a different shirt. they don't even know i'm walking with them. i'm hearing them talk about me. they're like, i liked it. the guy in front of me was snoring! so that's like a thing. >> jimmy: well, unless you're, if you're under 80 years old, you will have a great time at
