12:36 am
this was kind of funny, i guess this is the bright side of the stay at home order. i got an e-mail from costco saying they had a package they were going to deliver today and the window for delivery was from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., a seven-hour delivery window, and for the first time in my life i was like, no problem. in fact, if you need stretch it to 6:00, 6:30, midnight, fine, you don't have to let me know, i'll be sitting right there by the door waiting for people have been staying at home and ordering stuff. this is good. this actually happened to me once, with a 26 foot moving truck someone captured this on their ring camera. an amazon delivery guy forgot to put his truck in park, and then he brought the item to the door. and was pretty relaxed, until
12:37 am
the truck started rolling backwards down the street. last we checked, he's still chasing it. in politics, which are happening, whether we like it or not, a very big name weighed in today, on the race for president. >> hi, everybody. >> jimmy: hi, everybody? where the hell have you been? did you not see the o'bat signal?. it's been flashing for like two years. >> jimmy: as was expected, barack obama officially endorsed his former vp for p. obama, who has been in quarantine since, january of 2017, posted a 12 minute video on twitter. and you can see, he looks older. every time i see him, it feels like he's visiting from the future to warn us about something. obama gave biden a hearty endorsement, and he had kind words for bernie sanders too. he described bernie as "an american original," which sounds good, i guess, but realistically, you could say the same thing about mountain dew code red.
12:38 am
some are saying obama's endorsement came late, given that he waited until joe biden had the nomination. it's like endorsing tom brady for quarterback of the buccaneers. but obama has been off windsurfing or something. he had to wait for a breeze. to bring him into shore. meanwhile, donald trump just got an endorsement from a president too, himself. it was another manic monday for old yeller, who gave an all-timer of a press conference yesterday. he was almost foaming at the mouth. he was huffing and puffing so much, you'd think he'd just done a sit- up. he's very upset. he is upset, not about the death toll, or the lack of ventilators, masks, tests, etcetera, etcetera. he's upset because he doesn't want blame, he wants credit. blame bad, credit good. and that's what he wants. he went on for two hours and 24 minutes, with no intermission. in case you missed it, we whittled it down to the best of the worst. >> i don't mind being
12:39 am
criticized, but not when they're wrong. if you call cnn a network, i don't, personally, you know you're a fake, the whole network is a fake. the story is a fake. it's a fake newspaper, and they write fake stories. not all of you, but the people are wise to you. that's why you have a lower approval rating than you've ever had before times probably three. >> why are there no consequences for china for the misinformation. >> how do you know there are no consequences. i wouldn't tell you. you'd probably be the last person on earth i'd tell. the president of the united states calls the shots. when somebody's the president of the united states, the authority is total. >> but who told you that the president has the total authority. >> enough. >> jimmy: like an angry parent. you underestimate the power of the orange side. so he's handling things well, but this is what happens when he goes a week without golf. he explodes. trump is battling with the governors now. he insists that the president calls all the shots, which is,
12:40 am
of course, not true, and totally contrary to the longtime position of the republican party, which believes strongly in states rights. you can't embrace the confederacy and the total authority of the federal government at the same time. it's like thanos having an iron-man themed birthday party. you just don't do it. so after trump went on his power trip, a reporter from "politico," had the good sense to ask mike pence, who was governor of indiana, what he thinks. >> mr. president, this is a question for mr. vice president. do you agree with the president's statement and his understanding of feld rderalismt his power is total? is there neg you'd like to add or in context to the way he was discussing that? >> i support the president's leadership under the national emergency declaration that he signed. >> jimmy: he looks scared, doesn't he? i thought robots weren't supposed to show fear? i guess they haven't worked out all the kinks yet. trump made history yesterday. he did something i don't believe
12:41 am
any president has done before. he brought a video for the press to watch. like a lazy substitute teacher. propogrampa had his staff, cut together a video, designed i guess, to make him look good and them look bad. but it seems like it had the opposite effect. >> we have a few clips that we're just going to put up. we could turn the lights a little bit lower. i think you'll find them interesting. please, you can put it on. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪
12:42 am
♪ >> so we could give you hundreds of clips like that. >> jimmy: please do. i'd love to see -- maybe he'd finally get that emmy he always wanted. by all accounts, it was the likes of which no reporter, seems to have ever seen. but in fairness, in the interest of equal time, trump's unhinged performance did receive one rave review. >> i've seen a lot of the president's briefings, i've held a few of them myself. today was one of his best. >> jimmy: he's not going to come to your birthday party, sean. when are you gonna get that through your head? trump is not just talking up a storm, he's also tweeting one. why he is doing this? i have no idea. there is no reason for it, but he was on the offensive again today, lashing out. he wrote, "tell the democrat governors that 'mutiny on the bounty' was one of my all time favorite movies. a good old-fashioned mutiny every now and then is an
12:43 am
exciting and invigorating thing to watch, especially when the mutineers need so much from the captain. too easy!" this is unbelievable, not only is he threatening not to help states with federal assistance, with our money. the captain from "mutiny on the bounty," in the end of that movie, was judged to be unfit to lead. in other words, the ship has hit the tan. most states are under shelter in place orders, only essential businesses are allowed to be open, and in florida, one of those essential business is the wwe. world wrestling entertainment. is essential, in florida. it's nice to know that even after all of this, florida hasn't lost its floridaness. wwe will continue to hold their matches, but without crowds. is professional wrestling without a crowd still even professional wrestling? at that point isn't it just an argument on a trampoline? just for this period of time,
12:44 am
they should make wrestling real. why not? let'em fight it out. what do they have to lose? and one more thing, over the last several weeks, we have been shining a light on those who are finding creative ways to amuse yourselves and others while on lockdown. and with that said, here it is our "quarantime killer of the night." >> jimmy: you know you're bored when you're dreaming about riding amtrak. let's take a break. when we return, we'll be back with a man, who actually has the coronavirus. george stephanopoulos is standing by. so stick around. ♪

12:50 am
almost three weeks ago, i had a little bit of lower back pain and went to bed early, and that was it. and then a couple days after that, no sense of smell for about a day, but that was like several weeks ago. and since then, just nothing beyond that. >> jimmy: why did you end up getting tested? because were you planning to go back to work? >> yeah, i wanted to make sure eventually, when i went back to work that i was absolutely negative. i was pretty surprised that it turned out positive. even the technician, when she called to say so, said we don't get it, because when i went in, i don't know, my temperature was 97. my oxygen was 99. she said we were surprised, too, but there you go. >> jimmy: but you are working. you're anchoring "good morning, america" from your dining room, is that where you are? >> yeah, i'm in the living room now, but die it from t now, but i do it from the

[ laughter ] >> well, they take lot of work. >> jimmy: so how are your daughters doing? i know you have two teenage daughters. are they doing okay? >> they're doing great, they're watching us right now, sitting across the room. they're doing the distance learning thing on their laptops all day, complaining about home work, so we know everything is going well. and they've also turned me on to

>> jimmy: we are chatting with george stephanopoulos and ali wentworth, both who have had the coronavirus. you both look good. you look great. this gives me hope. ali, you had it really bad, right? >> it's funny, which is very indicative of our lives. i get corona, and i'm deathly ill for three weeks with a high fever and sweating and achy like, you know, and going crazy, like martin sheen in "apocalypse now", and george gets it, and he has no symptoms. >> jimmy: does that annoy you that he has no sense of smell for like an hour. >> if i weren't quarantined with him, we would probably take a separate weekend away. >> jimmy: did george take good care of you? how did it work? did you ring a bell when you needed something? >> he just knew, he

12:59 am
tom hanks or idris elba or the virgin bachelor cult? anyone like that? >> i wish i'd heard from idris elba, but i did talk to people who had it, and they were really helpful, telling me, you know, make sure you drink a lot of orange juice and rest and that kind of stuff was great. and i'm telling you right now, on jimmy kimmel, that you can dm me on instagram if you have it and you're scared or you want any sort of pointers. gayle king was like, where did you get it? and i said i have no idea. i could have gotten it from romaine lettuce. and then she texts me back, do you think you got it from romaine lettuce? suddenly, everybody knew somebody who had it. so they want all the information. you know, and then i heard from people i haven't heard from in a catrillion years. suddenly my ex-boyfriend cares whether i live or die. >> jimmy: wouldn't it be
