we appreciate your time. on >> dicky: from hollywood, it as "jimmy kimmel live," with guest host, sean hayes. tonight, jason bateman, and our health care hero of the week. and now, sean hayes. >> person, woman, man, camera, tv, person, woman, man, camera, tv -- oh sorry, just doing my warm up exercises. hi, i'm sean hayes live and welcome to "jimmy kimmel." i'm your guest host for the evening, but i'm probably best known as "the character from 'will & grace' that even your homophobic grandma loved." now i know i'm just your substitute for the night, but i expect you to behave just like you would if your regular host were here. so, turn down the volume and start humpin'. i'm so excited to be doing this.

i'll never forget when jimmy called my agent about this gig. my agent said "there's no way in hell adam driver will do this, but i also represent sean hayes." and i want to take a second to say hi to my husband who's back at home supporting me right now. hi, scotty, i love you. and if you even think about touching the horse puzzle without me, i'll suffocate you in your sleep. now that we're all having fun, i'm going to tell you something that will ruin your month. it turns out that coronavirus might be spread through air conditioning. experts say ac can spread coronavirus "by creating strong air currents that can move the droplets and contribute to increased risk." this is why i stay cool the old fashioned way, by getting drunk and falling down a well. wow, remember 2019 when air conditioners were only killing us by melting polar ice caps and falling out of apartment windows? that was quaint, wasn't it? remember that? i will say this, if giant wind-blowing fans are to blame, we may need to quarantine

beyonce for another year. she has about 70 horsepower on her at all times. during quarantine, we should all be reading more, especially our kids. but growing up as a gay kid in the suburbs of chicago, i didn't have many books that spoke to me. i mean, "curious george" was not curious about the same things i was, and of course, "where's waldo." who wants to find that guy? he's got glasses and a passport. that nerd can find himself. so to help out kids like me who want to read, i'm launching my new book series "where's cher?" you and your gay family can locate the oscar-winning superstar in a number of exciting environments. ok, first let's find cher at the beach. keep your eyes peeled. i'm not sure what cher wears to the beach, but i guarantee it would blow waldo's mind. there cher is. i should've known, head-to-toe bob mackie. good work, everyone. okay, next page. the airport. cher is probably in a rush to

get back to malibu, so we have to act quickly. where could she be? found her. she's stuck in line. cher's flying coach? her poor manager's going to get an earful. isn't this so much more fun than looking for waldo and his rabid dog? finally, let's find cher at the carnival. and don't pretend cher wouldn't go to a carnival. if you remember "gypsies, tramps and thieves," cher was born in the wagon of a travelling show. this is her origin story. this is a tough one. would cher enjoy a merry-go-round? to be completely honest, i've pondered this question before. there cher is -- wait, that's not cher. it's waldo, as a cher impersonator. hang it up, waldo, you can't pull it off. there she is. soaked in the back of a log flume, and doing a terrible job of social distancing. at least put on a mask, cher. don't you love to read? this is fun. it's a clip of some construction

workers, pulling a cable out of the ground. or so it appears. actually, i know what's going on. can we turn up the sound? hey joe, tony, help me with this cable. it's so big. it sure is frank. all three of us need to use our rippling thighs to get it out of this hole. yeah, yeah. sorry, i've been quarantined a long time. you know, there's so much misinformation regarding coronavirus and it's hard to know who to trust for honest and accurate medical information. well, you should trust doctors. like me, doctor sean, because i'm not just any doctor. i'm an honorary doctor. see, illinois state university, the school i dropped out of even though it's one of the best fine arts schools in the midwest, gave me an honorary doctorate, which means i am qualified to answer all of the most common questions about the virus. so it's time now for "doctor sean's covid corner."

hello. first, the most hotly debated question right now is: should i wear a mask? for the love of god yes, and here's why. in the medical community, we know for a fact that the coronavirus is attracted to mustaches, both men's and women's. if you're wearing a mask, the covid beetlecan't build their nests and poison your bloodstream with their feces. makes sense? thought so. ok, here's one people ask a lot, how important is hand washing? frequent hand washing is critical. the more frequent, the better. why? because the virus is creeped out by ocd. if you wash your hands every five minutes, the virus will be all "get me away from this freak." so wash your hands, alphabetize your condiments, make sure you have an even number of coat hangers, then treat yourself to four yellow skittles. here's one i see online sometimes, can i get coronavirus from drinking corona beer? this is just ridiculous.

you cannot get coronavirus from drinking corona beer. they're just similar sounding words. although eating clams does give you chlamydia. this one is about symptoms, does coronavirus really make you lose your sense of taste? yes, that's true. but it's not just taste in food. you lose your taste in music, movies, and home decor. we found out my cousin was sick when she started listening to chumbawumba and carpeted her upstairs bathroom. that was rough. and the last question is, what if i don't want to wear a mask? that's easy. if everyone wore masks for 4-6 weeks, we could control this pandemic, because the real problem is people breathing on each other. so if you don't want to wear a mask, fine, just don't breathe for four- six weeks. it's not like your brain was getting oxygen before. trust me, i'm doctor sean.

[ laughter ] >> wait, you really are one of the funniest people i've ever known. listen, do you remember how we first met? >> i'm gonna let you tell this story. america, that's the way you avoid hurting somebody's feelings, when you don't remember. >> i think i actually met you through will arnett about 20 years ago when we used to play poker together. >> was it kyle's poker game? >> yes, how fun was that? every tuesday night, i brought the pizza, you remember that? >> as people can relate, at a poker night, you usually are not going to remember everything. i'm so happy i met you that

night. what about the friendship that blossomed from there. >> i love you so much. you've been doing talk shows since your family forced you into the business after the delivery room. >> yeah, delivery was much more expensive back then. >> listen, because of those talk shows, you've probably been asked everything in the world. i would like to run down a list of questions that hopefully you've never been asked before. i know you, but some things i still don't know about you. >> yes. >> in 1994, you co-starred in a movie with katharine hepburn. what was the filthiest thing she ever said or did to you? >> well, there wasn't anything filthy that she said or did, but there was something that was sort of filthy looking that wasn't after you kind of find out about it. she doesn't, she wore reebok high tops 100% of the time. but, when she had to wear a

dressy outfit, she would simply pull black socks over the top of these high tops. so that would seem filthy and gross kind of in a weird, if you're a sicko like me, but once you understood her madness, i thought she just had horribly swollen feet. >> jason eyes up here. is that what it was? >> yeah. to work with her was something pretty remarkable. she did tell me to stop acting during one of the scenes, she didn't mean as a career but in that particular scene i was doing too much. >> in true bateman form, i had more questions, but we're going to move on. are you aware, co-host that we are number seven today as of apple podcast, which is one episode. >> very, very exciting and humbling and let's get to number one, damn it, after this show.

come on, america. >> now tell me what's one of the most fascinating, interesting things about our first episode, which we interview dax shepherd for, anything you want to recall? >> learning that he graduated summa cum laude, and that will person than i ever imagined. he just had a new baby boy. i think she was not yet fully done giving birth to the child, or maybe she had just finished. he left the hospital and got to his house to record the very first episode. i don't think they had yet cut the cord. i think he returned after the episode to cut the cord. anything for a gig, this guy. >> i don't think it's still cut. i think it's still on there. >> oh, gosh, yeah, no, he's very committed to the show, more so than his family, and we love him
