thanks for joining us . >> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live," with guest host, sebastian maniscalco. tonight, alex rodriguez, and our health care hero of the week. and now, here's sebastian maniscalco. >> sebastian: hello and welcome to "jimmy kimmel live!" i'm sebastian maniscalco back again for a second night. they almost didn't let me do the show tonight. i showed up and someone took my temperature and it was 101°. i said listen, i'm italian. i run hot. but i'm a hypochondriac so i constantly think i got coronavirus. i'm walking around every day smelling my toilet and candles making sure i don't have this thing. they just told me that the ratings were fantastic last night, which is nice.

i'm not complaining about that. but when i told my parents that, they said "why? "did the other two guys pass away?" my mom told me i was too stiff and that my suit didn't fit. and my dad wanted to know why i didn't mention my cousin's construction company. i'm just so glad to be working again. my days normally start out with the zoom preschool circle time song, "the joey's are here today." the joey's are here today. hip hip hip hooray. the joey's are here today. so glad i missed that song. next, put sunscreen on my kids. growing up, i don't even think my parents knew what sunscreen was. my father used to lather me up with olive oil so i could get a beautiful tan at the age of three. then snack. then lunch. and when they're done with

lunch then we snack again. then i take the kids on a "walk" where somehow, i am the only one walking. then it's nap time, for me. next, i watch eight minutes of "tangled," four minutes of "trolls," and 30 minutes of "cinderella." then i negotiate how many bites of dinner equals a popsicle treat. then it's bath time where i somehow proceed to get more wet than the kids who are inside the bathtub. next is story time. then bed time. then i cry in a corner wondering if i am spending enough time with my kids. i want to set the record straight on something tonight. quarantine? was invented by italians. the word "quarantine" comes from the italian words "quaranta giorni," which mean 40 days. during the plague, italy actually made ships isolate for 40 days before they could enter the country. the sailors had to just stay on their ships, baking banana bread, watching netflix or whatever, i don't know history.

but if you think about it, everything about quarantine is italian. you eat all day long, and start drinking wine at noon. everything's covered in plastic so it doesn't get contaminated. you're constantly trying to stop your parents from hugging and kissing everyone they meet. three months ago, you bought 500 boxes of pasta. you got hair coming out of every orifice. you have to talk with your hands because your mouth is covered. people are over-tipping delivery guys. even the virus itself looks like a weird meatball. the only silver lining here is that this pandemic made italians of us all. people have a lot of extra time on their hands right now, and many young people have been spending it on tik tok, which bothers me. i don't know what tik tok is or how it works. honestly until last week, i thought tik tok was a rapper. but i've been told, there are

some people on there who do impressions of me. and i thought it'd be funny, and maybe annoying to review some of them with you. let's check out this first guy. >> what as up everybody. it's a sebastian maniscalco. feeling very good, very fresh. you know, things are strange in the house when you're doing stand-up comedy with a shoe horn as a microphone? he's got an announcer feel like don pardo. but i'll give him credit. he writes his own material. i give him a b-minus, but his shoehorn microphone gets an a. here's another one -- >> i got this new girlfriend, okay? i like to take her out to nice meals, you know, nice dinners, okay? couple weeks ago she tells me she wants to go to brunch. what the hell is brunch? people can't pick a news anymore? >> i don't know if that guy's

having a seizure or being attacked by a swarm of bees. although i couldn't really pay attention to the impression because i was fixated on the indianapolis colts pennant in the background. i haven't seen a pennant on a wall since 1982. i give him a c. okay, who's next? >> there's girls in the neighborhood that like to go on mornin' jogs. they're joggin' through my neighborhood like this. they've been squatin', they've been squatin' on my hedges,ma. on the hedges. that's melissa villasenor from "saturday night live." i know her, she's a sweetheart. and on top of the impression being great, the set dressing is spectacular. melissa, you get an a. and lastly. >> dunkin' donuts, this morning, true story. guy walks in. cashier goes, what can i do for

you, sir? this guy walked up to the glass. put his shnoz, mask down on the grass and proceeded to order! i'm honestly not sure that's not me. not only does he have fantastic material, there's a nuance this guy nails. he nailed the half eyelid, to pick that out, you got to be a massive impersonator. and he's from chicago, so he gets an a+. anyway, thanks to all my impressionists. i'm flattered. i think. tonight on the show, we'll honor our healthcare hero of the week. and we will be right back with alex rodriguez. ♪ >> dicky: abc's "jimmy kimmel live," brought to you by dick's sporting goods.

>> i'm doing great, what's happening, my brother? >> sebastion: i don't even consider myself a celebrity or famous at ah. a and i had the pleasure of eating dinner at your house. you invited my wife lana and i to your house. since you're the social one in the relationship, quite like my wife, did you and j. lo make that decision together? or did you come home one day and say "the maniscalcos are coming for dinner", and she went, "ah, what are you doing"? >> she said, "really"? no, we loved have being ying yo over. she's a big fan. we love your work and it was great having you over, especially your better half, no doubt about that, lana's the best. >> sebastion: i do have to mention that going over to your house we were greeted by an

advance team, somewhat like the military. you know, you send out a team to scope it out. and then you guys finally came down like 45 minutes later. what the hell were you doing? >> well, it was funny, when we finally said hello, and of course we had to do it through social distancing and all of that, you said i met nine people here, i didn't even know if you and jennifer were home. >> sebastion: i didn't even know if i was in the right house. >> but that meal was good. that meal was good. >> sebastion: it was fantastic. the whole experience was great. and we're going to have to have you guys over next time, but i want to get into what's going on with baseball. no audience, no fans in the stands. now you as an ex-player, do you feed off the people that are there? or do you just revert back to little league when your first cousin was in the front row? >> well, you know what? absolutely.

baseball is synonymous with the greatest fans in the word. and that energy, both at home in yankee stadium or on the road at fenway, they both nergize you. and this will remind me and other players of a spring training gra training game. they call it the b game, it's 8:00 in the morning, a simulated game and there's nothing. but the sounds of baseball are magical, the sound of the ball going into the mitt, the sound of the crack of the wood. baseball is just the best. >> sebastion: it is the best. and there's also a sound i don't think we're going to hear this year, which is spitting. i don't think they're allowing any type of dip or anything like that. now i know you were a gum guy. is that something, is that a superstition? or what was that? >> let me tell you. of all the things that i would have the hardest adjustment with, baseball players are very superstitious, but not chewing

gum while playing baseball, that would be a real score breaker for me. i probably went through 36 pieces of gum every game i played. >> sebastion: 36 pieces of gum? every time i have two pieces of gum i get a little gas. what was going on with 36 pieces of gum? >> it was this. i will take three or four pieces of gum, you can probably see it on youtube. i would put it in. and i start chewing it, it's a like i had an attitude or something. it was bogus, but it gave me a little bit more swag. >> sebastion: got you, got you. so listen, i understand during quarantine you got a puppy, which i, which i met, but i don't think you had named the puppy when i was at your house. what's going on with your dog at the house? >> it was a nameless puppy when you came over for dinner. and i was really hoping, i was really hoping that we can call it yankee doodle, but they don't

listen to me at home. so i lost. and the dog is named tyson. >> sebastion: after mike? >> after mike. i think. [ laughter ] >> sebastion: so listen, you're allegedly trying to buy the mets. i say allegedly, because we don't know for sure. i just thought baseball teams were reserved for like billionaires who just woke up and said "you know what? i want a team." so if were you to buy the team, what do you do? is this like a gofundme? you start walking around asking people for cash? >> why did you think that i had you and lana over for dinner? >> sebastion: that's what i was -- >> that was my pitch. >> sebastion: you got the wrong guy! you got the wrong guy. i mean, i would, i would be afraid to even toss a number out at you, and you'd go, what are you going to do with that? buy popcorn? listen, what do you like about

the broadcasting game? you're so good at it, i mean, you seem like a natural fit. you went right from playing baseball right into announcing. and now thatary there's going te really no energy in the stadium, are you going to be talking more? are they throwing it to you? what's going on? >> first of all, i love announcing, the fact that i've been with espn and with fox for a few years now. it's just, the best thing after playing is talking about playing, talking about baseball, but i think this gives it a unique experience, because it's 60 games, not 162. so it's a sprint, not a marathon. so one of the rare opportunities that i will take advantage of is open up the whole entire, just open up the flood gates, open up the mics. give us access to guys driving to the ballpark, clubhouse, batting cages, sounds. when i used to be over there and

i would lean over to derrick jeter or robinson cano, everybody would ask me, what were you guys talking about? the game, if we just kind of reveal everything and open it up, i think i immense enhe curt. so let's do it. this is the year. >> sebastion: so you want everybody mic'd and everybody filmed, and i can see where that's coming from, because you walk around with your own video crew yourself. so i would love to see that implemented into major league baseball. listen, man, i got to thank you for joining us here. really appreciate you taking some time out. watch alex on opening night next thursday and all season on "sunday night baseball" on espn. we'll be right back with our healthcare hero of the week. ♪ in need of a home. he found it in a boy with special needs, who also needed him. as part of our love promise, subaru and our retailers host
