hosting a tv show from home has been strange and isolating. but i have learned a lot more about my co-workers than i expected. this is a text from our supervising producer, gary greenberg who was hesitant to order sushi and asked at least five people if we thought it was safe to do it. after everyone told him he was crazy and that, of course it was safe, he sent this. based on your recommendation, we ordered sushi from sugarfish. but in between ordering and delivery, we got nervous. and decided to microwave it. microwave sushi is kind of disgusting. yeah, kind of. who could have ever guessed raw fish in the microwave wouldn't be good? in las vegas, some hotels and casinos are open for business. with precautions in place. for instance this gentleman came ready for video poker --

with a mask -- glove -- cigarettes -- he's smoking under the mask. no one has ever cared more and less about his health at the same time. they should put this in one of those "do your vegas" commercials. pump up the glamour. the president is excited that things are opening up. buoyed by what he claims is "big demand" trump could be back on the rally trail as early as next week. to bask in the glow of his fans coronavirus be damned. if he's gonna do this, he should be required to shake everyone's hand. everyone who shows up, he should have to rub his sweaty little nubs on every maga hatter who wants to meet him. all he wants is the roar of the crowd. maybe instead of running for a second term we should book him a yearlong run at madison square garden like billy joel. the president is said to be so upset about recent polls that show him losing bigly to joe biden he hired a consulting firm to challenge the results of those polls.

and that's a bad sign. if you think he won't contest the election if he loses? he won't even accept a meaningless poll! they are going to have to drag him out of the white house by his heels. one poll has joe biden up by 14 points. so sugar daddy vlady has his work cut out for him. and it makes sense that he doesn't get it. he's just like a lot of soft-brained 73 year old men who watch nothing but fox news. this is the nonsense the president of the united states is watching on tv before he gets tuckered into bed every night. >> this is a good country. better than any other. of course we are flawed, but we are trying, unlike most places. and we have nothing to be ashamed of, none of us. immigrants know that best of all. that's why they come here, a million new americans every year. they are not coming because america is a racist country. they're coming because it's not. >> jimmy: right. but didn't you want to build a wall to keep those immigrants out, oh, never mind. he's right, america is fine. we have no problems at all. those people marching in the streets?

they're just getting exercise! meanwhile that's not even the craziest thing going. have you seen the video of the old man in buffalo, the protestor, getting assaulted by police? i don't even want to show the video, because it's upsetting. if you want to see it, look it up. an old guy, who is out protesting, gets shoved by two cops, falls to the ground, and blood starts gushing out his ear. or does it? the national spokeswoman for the republican national committee elizabeth harrington, posted a completely nutty conspiracy theory that claimed the old man, martin gugino, was using "prop blood attached to an elaborate device." i guess he used magnets to get the police to shove him too. and our president -- who is never one to pass on a crackpot story like this wrote, "buffalo protester shoved by police could be an antifa provocateur. 75 year old martin gugino was pushed away after appearing to scan police communications in

order to black out the equipment. @oann i watched, he fell harder than was pushed. was aiming scanner. could be a set up?" or could be complete nonsense. just to recap the theory here is that a 75-year-old man was using his cellphone to scan police communication equipment in order to black it out! i feel like anyone who has tried to zoom with their grandparents knows there's no way that's true. but our president. well, it takes a special kind of monster to see a peaceful 75-year-old man shoved to the ground by police so hard he bleeds from the ears and take the side of the concrete. but he does, our unfounding father. but he tells it like it is, right? this is exciting news for the pals of potus. this was a text from the trump campaign, said president trump set aside a limited edition trump coloring book just for you, friend!" 900 just sold in 5 minutes! don't wait. claim yours now!" and if you go to the link, it

takes you to trump's online store -- and there it is the "official trump coloring book" it's available on his website for $20. or, if you donate $25 free for five dollars more you get, the same thing why a coloring book? i feel like the people who would be willing to pay $20 for his campaign probably ate all their crayons already. so anyway we claimed ours. and it took a few weeks to get here but here it is now. this is all real. the official trump coloring book. featuring our super president. doing super stuff. truth is his kryptonite. here he is smiling. in front of the flag here -- he's got the usa in his strong, giant hand. in this one, he is screaming waddaya mean there's no mozzarella sticks? this is him building the wall as if he's ever done even an hour of manual labor in his life. and again --

regular joe, in a hard hat. and we get to color in his tender side too. there he is cradling a weird, alien baby. that had to be drawn by a different person, right? and this is good too. supertrump with conan the dog. join president trump on his fight against animal cruelty! did his sons shoot a dolphin in the face? and finally -- wearing a cape. this is good. enjoy this relaxing pasttime as you spark your creativity and let your imagination run free. each image of our nation's 45th president is single sided, allowing you to remove and proudly display your art piece around your home or workplace." could you imagine coloring this in and hanging it? at that point, you just hang yourself. oh i forgot one thing. they even included a page for mike pence. who unfortunately, was too white to be outlined so there you go -- grab a box of orange crayons and

have at it. these are dark times for sure. there seems to be an unfillable divide in this country which is sad. and whenever i am down i look to the most positive person, not just in my life maybe the most positive person in human history. my cousin micki -- the other day our cousin melissa told micki that, because of the lockdown her son archie's school gave the students a choice they could do pass, fail or a letter grade. and micki, without missing a beat, asked "well who would choose fail?" it's called positive thinking and with that said here's cousin micki with your daily inspiration. >> okay, if you're feeling down, it's okay, you can be goofy, you can run around like hey, micki, you got, this you can do this, or to your own

name, cheer for yourself and just know that everything's going to be okay. ♪ >> jimmy: thank you micki. we'll be right back with josh gad. ♪ >> dicky: abc's "jimmy kimmel live," brought to you by chevrolet. ves us to go out and discover.. at chevy, we're committed to getting you there with confidence and peace of mind. that's why your chevy clean dealers commit to using enhanced vehicle cleaning measures with cdc-approved cleansers. if you need a new equinox, get 0% apr for 72 months or, four thousand five hundred dollars cash allowance on most models. you may even shop online and take delivery at home where available. so you can find new roads with confidence. let's be honest. quitting smoking is hard. like, quitting every monday hard.

please welcome josh gad. hi, josh, how are you? >> i feel like i want, can i walk in? >> jimmy: yes, make an entrance, and we will applaud. >> hey! ♪ >> jimmy: it's great to see you, you played a big role in our home during this quarantine period. between watching "frozen" and "frozen 2", a lot, and my daughter watched "artemis fowl." and she loved it. we ordered the books afterwards. >> it's a fun movie. i'm madly in love with everything kenneth brandon does, so i always say yes to whatever it is. and i think he hit it out of the park. so glad you guys enjoyed it. >> jimmy: came up great. you've been really working hard to keep us entertained during this lockdown, with these

special pieces you have been putting together. what a fun idea. is this an idea you had before the quarantine? or is this something that came to you during it? >> i had, i sort of had an inkling of an idea that it would be really fun to reunite some of like my favorite casts and creative teams from some of my favorite movies, but as you know, it always comes down like scheduling. actually, true story. i was very inspired by the time you brought michael j. fox and christopher lloyd on your show to do the "back to the future" sketch. and so i tried to raise money for covid-related charities and it started with "goonies", and it ended up being a tremendous success. >> jimmy: i feel like you could have done that by yourself. >> either way, i was going to do it, or get josh brolin. >> jimmy: who was the first

goony to join? >> chunk, jeff, who is an entertainment lawyer. >> jimmy: really? >> yeah, he's a great entertainment lawyer. and sean astin. when meek mikey says yes, everybody says yes. >> jimmy: steven spielberg, i remember a story about your grand pa doing something with steven spielberg, what am i remembering? >> yeah, my grandfather, joseph greenblatt, god bless his soul. he commemorated his experiences during the holocaust. he felt like steven owed him one on behalf of his, at the time 15-year-old grandson, so he writes steven a letter, which he

starts off "dear stevie", and it's basically, the sum of it is, i did a video for you, now put my son in like jurassic park two. it was like something to the equivalent of just make my son a star in one of your films now. >> jimmy: it didn't work, i guess. >> it didn't work. i still have not been in a steven spielberg film even though my grandfather called him "stevie." i can't imagine why i haven't been a part of his lexicon of films. >> jimmy: what are you doing next, "ghostbusters"? is that what i heard? >> yeah, don't tell anyone, but "ghostbusters" is my next. >> jimmy: you have to have bill murray, obviously, we were able to track bill down. >> man, i wasn't going to reveal this until everybody saw it, but damn i love you so much.

bill murray did come and join the cast for the "ghostbusters" reunion and it's insane. >> jimmy: were you able to get rick moranis? >> i tried to get rick, but rick is very much, you know, living the life of seclusion right now, and couldn't do it. what i was able to get rick to do, though, was to come out of retirement to do a sequel to "honey, i shrunk the kids", which i am so excited about. >> jimmy: so you're doing that with rick, nice. >> i and doing it with rick. i play his son. because clearly. and, you know, it's so amazing, because you dream about working with some of these idols and now i get to play opposite one of them. >> jimmy: it is crazy to be in the middle of that. there are movies you watch on vhs for a thousand times and

suddenly you are eating dinner with these guys or asking them to do something and they say no. >> jimmy: anyway, so josh, we decided, we made a deal. and the deal would be, we would send each other outfits from amazon. we'd go on amazon and pick something out for the other, and neither of us got to choose, neither of us have even seen, i assume you haven't seen what's in your box. my wife has been hiding mine. >> my wife opened the box and said "oh, geez", that's all i know about this. >> jimmy: my wife said "you can't wear this." so i'm just going to show one little part of the box here. let's keep yours a secret. i'll just show you part of mine.
