11:35 pm
the abc 7 news app. >> thanks for watching, everybody. >> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live"! tonight dwayne johnson, from "watchmen", yahya abdul-mateen ii and music from she & him. and now, get ready, jimmy kimmel! ♪ [cheers and applause] >> jimmy: thank you. very nice. hi, i'm jimmy. i'm the host of the show. thanks for watching. thanks for coming. listen, i don't know about you, but we, at my house, we deep in the holiday spirit. the elf has been moving from shelf to shelf. the tree is decorated. the kids are excited. last night i got home from work last night, and my wife whose name is molly, brain freeze.
11:36 pm
anyway, molly's sitting down with our daughter jane, who's 5, to write a letter to santa claus, which jane did not want to do. she wanted us to refer santa to our amazon wish list that i'd made. but we insisted on a letter because we want to have it. so my wife got a pen and paper and asked jane why should santa bring you presents, and jane thought about it, and she said because i want them, that's why. and we're like, no. what good things have you done to deserve presents. you have to tell santa. and she says i don't know. so i start giving examples, do you listen to your parents, are you nice to your brother? do you share your toys? and she thinks about it, and she says, yeah, write those things. i said which things, the things you said, just write them down. basically the response was take a memo. hey, tomorrow time magazine will name their person of the year for 2019. they've whittled the finalists
11:37 pm
down to five, president trump, nancy pelosi, the protesters in hong kong, greta thunberg. that's not a joke. what the [ bleep ] is wrong with you people? i'm sorry, i used profanity. we all know the person of the year is baby yoda this year, right? is that a person? i don't know. [cheers and applause] they'll announce the name at 6:00 tomorrow morning. it's not to be trump, how could he not be person of the year? he's all we talk about. if it's nancy pelosi, he's going to go nuts tomorrow. he will send s.e.a.l. team six into headquarters. he is definitely getting impeached this year. this is another historic day in washington, as not one but two articles of impeachment were announced by the house committee. >> today in duty to service to the constitution and our country, the house judiciary committee is introducing two articles of impeachment, charge
11:38 pm
being the president of the united states, donald j. trump, with committing high crimes and misdemeanors. >> jimmy: sorry, that's jerry nadler. after he made the announcement, his fans were chanting "go nads." they call themselves the gonadlers. he is charging president trump with abuse of power and obstruction of congress. president trump tweeted that he did nothing wrong. it's a witch hunt, read the transcript. he did all his hits. the house will vote to impeach possibly as early as next week and then the case will go to the senate. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell has not indicated when the trial will be held or how long it will last, but he did announce that the verdict will
11:39 pm
be "not guilty". mcconnell and trump have reportedly been arguing about how the trial should go. mcconnell wants to do it quickly, but trump wants it to take as much possible. like the tortoise and the hairpiece. trump reportedly wants to turn his impeachment into a show, a dramatic event, because he believes this will hurt democrats. he may get sean spicer to dance the meringue at this thing. why would he even have a say in how the trial goes? he's the one on trial. republicans are screaming that the process is unfair, as the defendant is telling them how long he wants the trial to last. meanwhile, with all this drama involving ukraine and russia, who do you think trump had at the white house today? a gentleman named sergey lavrov, who is the russian foreign minister. they really don't miss a trick. the last time trump was with this guy in the oval office was in 2017.
11:40 pm
this is the time he shared highly sensitive information. this time all he gave them was the colonel's secret recipe. consider it a win. the press was not invited to this meeting today. but the white house claims that trump warned lavrov about russian interference in the election. he said, you guys had better not meddle in this election, wink wink. and i'm sure they won't. why would they do that to our friend? but it was a tough tuesday for trump. a long day of impeachment articles. he got a harsh scolding from his own director of the fbi. he had to kiss russian ass. trump couldn't take it anymore. he marched out to the white house lawn and had a word with reporters after dark. >> i think it's a disgrace that people can make impeachment out of nothing. that was a perfect conversation. if you look at mark levin, he analyzed the conversation. one of the great constitutional lawyers. many of them have. they were perfect conversations. there's nothing to impeach on. >> what is going on there? the penguin is holding a press
11:41 pm
conference. got that orange face. it's like a harvest moon or something. and then, with that off his chest. >> thank you all very much. >> jimmy: the president journeyed out into the darkness, never to be seen or heard from again. he just kept walking toward the monument. and there he goes. this is a strange story. this is bird-related happening in las vegas right now. there have been multiple sightings of pigeons walking around in cowboy hats. tiny pigeon-sized cowboy hats on these pigeons, and no one can figure out why this is happening. how someone is obviously doing this. but who would be doing this? let's see if we can figure this out. okay. first of all, it's somebody who lives in las vegas. someone who, probably someone who has a relationship with pigeons. and likely someone who smokes a
11:42 pm
lot of weed to be doing this. so really, there's only one possible suspect, and that's iron mike tyson, right? he's the pigeon hatter. christmas is two weeks away. if you're still on the hunt for gifts, which assume most of you are. we have ideas for you courtesy of your friend, television. we've collected these. here are some items for this year's gift guide as seen on tv. >> introducing the hangover helmet. it will diminish headaches and increase relaxation by applying gel-packs to your head. it will make you feel better faster. >> look at that face? but those teeth are terrible. now there's active bright. the natural teeth whitening system made with activated charcoal powder so can you smile with confidence. >> simply dial to the number of slice align with the correct diameter of your cake.
11:43 pm
pull the spatula lever to serve the perfect slice each time. >> here "eat this book". my new cleanse collections of recipes that you cook right on this book. it's dinner made easy. start with boneless chicken thighs. fill the spaces with frozen peas and ham. it's like coloring with food. >> jimmy: that's a nifty item, right? like a hot pocket you can eat. [ applause ] by the way, i do want to just, for a moment, guillermo said something to me today that i'm still reeling from. guillermo, you told me two incredible stories today, yes? >> yes. that's right. >> jimmy: i don't think we have time for both of them. share the one about the laundromat? >> oh, that i had sex with an old lady in the laundry. >> jimmy: an old lady? >> yes. at the time she was older than me. i was in my 20s. >> jimmy: she's probably still
11:44 pm
older than you. >> i was like 23, she was maybe 48. >> jimmy: you were how old? >> 23. >> jimmy: she was 48? >> she was 48. >> jimmy: she's about your age now. this old lady. >> yes. >> jimmy: and so what happened? were you washing your clothes? >> i would go every week to the laundry, and that time i didn't have my soap, my tide, you know? didn't have no soap, so i went in the back and asked her can i buy you some tide for my clothes. and she said yeah. and she said come in. and that's when everything began, you know? come in the back. yeah, sure. >> jimmy: in the back of the laundry place. >> yeah. >> jimmy: wow, that's something. you know what a letter, do you remember penthouse forum? people would write letters with their sexual experiences and most of them seemed made up, but i mean, that one's pretty good.
11:45 pm
did you see her every week then afterwards when you'd do your laundry? >> yeah. >> jimmy: did anything ever happen again? >> no, that was bad idea. >> jimmy: while you guys were naked together back there, did you take those clothes and put them in the wash? >> no. >> jimmy: you didn't, okay. all right. sorry, i had to get that out. there's another story about a snake that's incredible. anyway, this is video of a holiday light display in australia. and you know when your neighbor goes all out and you don't. you wind up looking like the grinch, because you didn't spend weeks and, well, this is a good way to handle it. just put up a little sign that says ditto on it. i enjoy it when others do. this is in diker heights, new york. this is in phoenix in glendale, almost 2 million lights at
11:46 pm
glendale glitters, and this is a charming nativity scene in atle borrow, massachusetts where -- >> merry [ bleep ] christmas! go pats. go pats. >> jimmy: i'm going to apologize in advance. this is our foul-mouthed little friend, tommy brady fitzpatrick. what are you right now, baby yoda? >> oh, good one. is there a bigger turd in your christmas stocking than jimmy freakin' kimmel? >> jimmy: merry christmas to you. what's going on in your nativity scene? take us through that. >> i'm so glad you asked. >> jimmy: oh, really? >> not really, not really. you're just jealous i'm the messiaher and you're not. see this diaper? it's the shroud of urine. we've got the these wise men, larry bird.
11:47 pm
big papi. and of course tom brady. he's the goat. anyone who says otherwise is getting a lump of coal. >> jimmy: we won't say otherwise. >> as can you see, they're bringing me gifts, because i am the savior. >> jimmy: oh. >> they've got a half wrack of ganset lager and a big old candy cane. >> jimmy: you've really captured the holiday spirit. >> haven't we? watch your tone you friggin' fruit rollup. you want a piece of me? >> jimmy: no. what is this? hi, mrs. fitzpatrick. >> don't [ bleep ] talk to me. don't talk to my kid, either. >> jimmy: i'm sorry. i have one quick question for the boy. what is christmas like in boston? >> what do you mean what's christmas like in boston? we're not from [ bleep ] mars. it's the northeast.
11:48 pm
>> jimmy: yeah, okay. >> so here's what we do in our neck of the woods. >> jimmy: what do you do? >> on christmas eve we go to mass, the mass turnpike, you [ bleep ]. >> calm down. and we get off the pike, head to my cousin donnie's. they have a train called the polar express. >> jimmy: that sounds charming. >> yeah, we throw [ bleep ] rocks at at that. and the neighbors come out singing "sweet caroline" good times never felt so good. so good, sod good >> jimmy: anyway, so all right, you're carolling. >> anyway the neighbors go out carolling. when they're gone, we break in and steal all their [ bleep ]. because they got wicked good [ bleep ]. >> jimmy: what do you do on christmas day? >> well, on christmas morning, right around the crack of noon, my it's brothers and i rouse ma from her friggin' stupor and open up our gifts.
11:49 pm
>> jimmy: did you say you have eight brothers? >> four of my sister margaret's spawn. but she's in jail right now. >> jimmy: your sister's in jail for selling drugs to an undercover cop? >> he was not undercover. she got pulled over and tried to make a sale. >> jimmy: this all sounds terrible. it sounds like a terrible holiday. >> terrible. you have a problem with our quaint new england traditions? >> what is your problem? you want a piece of me? i will take your ass, from nazareth to jerusalem. from the temple mount to the sea of galilee, from the mount of olives to [ bleep ] -- >> jimmy: that's tommy brady fitzpatrick and his mom darlene. beautiful family. merry christmas to you.
