>> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live," with guest host, rob lowe. tonight, ramy youssef and music from dawes. and now, rob lowe! >> rob: welcome to "jimmy kimmel live." i'm your host for the night, rob lowe, or as people at the airport call me, "john stamos." today starts the sixth month of quarantine for many of us. and this time has been especially tedious for me because unlike most people, i don't drink. here's a fun fact, playing boggle without wine? insufferable. when you get sober, they tell you to take it "one day at a time." but no one prepared me for the fact that it would be the same day at a time for six months straight. but being home hasn't been all bad. my two adult sons moved back in

with us during the pandemic. i'm basically living in a failed tv pilot, and i know about that kind of thing. honestly though, we've really bonded over the past few months, had a lot of chats about life lessons. like, i think it's important for dads to be open about their failures. which was easy for me, i told them to go on youtube and search for "rob lowe academy awards 1989." and of course, we also get to share our triumphs. and we have one tonight. last night here on the show, i mentioned a great injustice had been done to me by my beloved l.a. dodgers. they have a program going right now where you pay to have a cardboard cutout of yourself put in the seats at dodger stadium, and all the money goes to the los angeles dodgers foundation. so i did it, and they gave me a great spot behind home plate, until i was abruptly removed and replaced with -- a cardboard cutout of guillermo. i swear, this is not a joke.

this actually happened and it was unacceptable on every level. but i received an outpouring of support on the thoughtful and benevolent medium known as twitter when the hashtag lowe was robbed trended locally for almost 14 minutes. people were pretty fired up, as you can see. >> hey, dodgers what's up with this? so disgusting. lowe was robbed. give this man his seat back. come on, dodgers, have you seen "st. elmo's fire"? it's a good question, i'm not sure they have. dodgers, you should have put that in the dumpster. you should have put an apostrophe in front of that s. hey, why do you have frosted tips in 2020. i think we're getting off the point, but you understand what we're saying. and, as it turns out, the dodgers did the right thing based on your support. look at these two. look at us now, huh? the best of friends.

guillermo, are you good with this new arrangement? >> guillermo: if you're happy, i'm happy. >> rob: great, good. and just to show there's no ill will between our two-dimensional selves, they even shared a snack together. and, if i may, there's been a lot of talk around the world about whether democracy still works. well today we have the answer. yes, it does. in this very limited, me-centric way. democracy works. if you're rich and famous. well now that we've turned baseball into a civics lesson, you know what everyone else has apparently been doing during the pandemic? recreational drugs. it's true. marijuana sales and edibles are way up. i don't partake of course, but i was in "super troopers 2," which clearly makes me a stoner by proxy. and with that said, it's time

for a special quarantine edition of the classic "jimmy kimmel live" game "who's high?" the rules are simple. three people will pop up onscreen. one of them is high. the other two are not. my job is to figure out who's high, hence the name of the game. let's meet our first contestants. this is van, karen, and devon. let's figure out who's high. ban, do you have any pets, specifically, reptiles? >> no. >> rob: took you a while to answer that, bro. >> it's kind of a complicated question, because i do, but not here. >> rob: are you living, ban, are you living a double life? >> yeah, kind of. >> rob: ban, i need to ask you, are you aware that you're wearing a ridiculous hat? >> yeah.

>> rob: ban's, i think you're the man to beat at the moment, my friend. but i'm going to move on here. i'm going to ask devon. devon. how many tv shows in the ncis universe can you name? >> just "ncis," so just one. >> rob: hmm, i don't know what to make of that. okay, good, good. karen, what do you do for a living? >> i'm in advertising. >> rob: you could be high doing that. so, that does not rule you out. >> okay. >> rob: okay, i'm going to go back to ban, because i have huge suspicions. ban, how dry is your mouth right now? wait, what is that? hold that up again. what do you have next to you? what's in there? it's him, he's high, he's drunk. he's drinking that.

i am going with ban. ban, you're high, am i right? >> no! >> rob: karen! thank you all for playing by the way. you're going to have a prize. so what does our group here get? >> dicky: a bag of bugles crispy corn snacks, the only snack you can stick on your fingers. >> rob: here's our next group of three. we've got josh, and we've got mike, oh, and lloyd, there you are. >> come on, lloyd, where you at? >> rob: just by the looks of yas, y'all are likely candidates. that's all i'm going to say. mike, i need to know what your inspiration was for growing that beard. >> oh, man, i've had this beard for probably 25 years. >> rob: how old are you, wait, wait, wait, how old are you? >> maybe i'm 25.

i'm 30 years. >> rob: a, you have some kind of disorder, because your hair's not growing quick enough, and also i need to know how old you are. >> it's like a chia pet, like a bonsai tree, it's very therapeutic keeping this thing trimmed. >> rob: you've already mentioned bonsai and chia pet. i'm going to move on, regarding pizza, pineapple on the pizza or absolutely no pineapple on the pizza? >> oh, i love pineapple. come on, now. >> rob: o ts you in of very li be high. lloyd, i'm going to move on to you then, first of all, lloyd, what do you do for a living? >> fishing director, line fisher. jimmy kimmel's next stage manager. >> rob: a director and line producer who cannot figure out how to get piped in to a television show. you may not be coming back after

covid, bro, i got news for you. enjoy the new career. audience watching at home, do you have a vote? i think i'm ready for my vote, and i have to go with the television professional who can't figure out how to log-in to this conversation. lloyd, i think you're high af. lloyd, you still with us? >> well, actually, yes. >> rob: actually, yeah. i go out a winner. thank you, thank you for playing. dicky, give these men a prize. >> dicky: gently-used fidget spinners. enjoy the hottest toy of 2017. >> rob: we have a great show coming up, music from dawes, and we'll be right back with ramy youssef. ♪

♪ >> rob: welcome back to "jimmy kimmel live," i'm host, rob lowe. if you're liking any of the skills i'm displaying tonight, i want you to check out my podcast. "literally! with rob lowe" as we speak. it has the very smart and provocative, demi moore. so check that out. in just a little bit, a great band from right here in los angeles. their new album, "good luck with whatever," comes out october 2nd. music from dawes is on the way. and next week, the show has a great line up of guest hosts including kerry washington, ben platt, and the return of anthony anderson.

our guest tonight is the creator, producer, director and title character of the excellent hulu show "ramy," on which he stars as a self-doubting, and frequently self-pleasuring, young egyptian-american muslim living with his parents in new jersey. i mean, that sounds like a show i've seen before, but i'm sure he's done something new with it. he's already won a golden globe and now he's nominated for two emmy awards, too. i hate this guy already. please welcome ramy youssef. >> dude, so good to see you, man. >> rob: your show, how does a show that truly original get on the air? >> we just tell them, dude, you don't have another one like it. it's the thing where we saw there's an opportunity for people to see an arab muslim character in a real way. i didn't grow up with any arab muslim characters on tv. we had "aladdin."

you know, he had the carpet, and we knew it flew, but we weren't sure, does he pray on it? we don't know. >> rob: you're like an awards magnet. when i worked with allison janney on "the west wing", she was like that. she could not stop winning awards. he continues to do that. you're the same, you've already won a golden globe, up for two emmies. what is it like, you're on your way to being the younger, muslim, meryl streep, how does that feel? >> it's a little overwhelming, because people compare me to her so much. it's constantly me and her in the same convo, so yeah, i try to focus on my lane and not try to emulate hers, but yeah, it's just kind of the path that's been happening. >> rob: did you ever have a moment when they're up there reading the envelope, and you're either convinced you're going to win or convinced you're not going to win? because i have a lot of those moments. my moments are, oh, here's

another one i'm not going to win. six-time golden globe failure. teach me. what is it like to actually win. >> you're so tall and chiselled. you look like the globe i won. like, i don't look like it. you have the look, so that's all that i really think you should feel good about that. i need it more than you, for sure. those moments are totally different, man, because i knew the globe i was going to win, because i saw jennifer aniston just like looking at the card when she opened, she was just kind of looking at it like, like i saw this look that i've seen on every substitute teacher's face when they came to my name. oh, my god, it's me. i know she was about to say a name she knew, and was like, who is it? and then reese came in and saved the day. that was cool. there were two seconds when i was like, oh, my god, i know that face. >> rob: if only you could have gotten a bet down in vegas on your phone.

i'm sure, were you the odds-on favorite to steal this category as a newcomer? >> i was not. i actually know, because my buddy, steve wei, who's on my show, his uncle bob bet on me, and so uncle bob bet from the heart. i think he might have been one of the only people who won. >> rob: i also heard a story, i can't believe it's true, but it's so insane it has to be. in your category was michael douglas, and your mother was rooting for michael douglas? >> the thing, like egyptians love michael douglas, this is news that's not out there about us. big, big michael douglas fan, and she's like, he has more movies than you. and i tried to tell her, that's not how they do it, it's about this year, these shows. she kind of thought that was what was going to happen. she was very happy. >> rob: it's funny, i went to egypt briefly, and every night

they piped in the theme from "romancing the stone." so that makes perfect since. >> classic tradition. >> rob: who is she rooting for this year? is she actually going for you. >> she's going for me all the way. i talked to my aunt in egypt. all of egypt is praying for the emmy. the whole country. >> rob: that's a lot of prayer. >> i'm sure eugene levy has some people in canada. but egypt prayers, i'm going to take them over canadian prayers, that's my gamble. >> rob: in all seriousness, my son a young writer and actor. it's guys like you that i point him towards as great role models. i really mean this. for anybody who wants to be an actor or whatever. you make it happen, you didn't sit around and wait for the right role to come around, you built it for yourself. i can't tell you how great i think that is and how much i love the success you're having. it's been great. >> oh, thanks. >> rob: this whole thing has

made me dehydrated. so i'm just going to take a little -- >> yeah, we got to just get some. yeah. >> rob: look at you getting all competitive. >> yeah, mine's not, you don't need the globe. you've got the bigger, yeah, we get it. >> rob: you know, i'd rather have a bigger water bottle than golden globe any day, and anybody who knows me that knows that. >> that's why your skin's so clear. >> rob: thanks for being on the show. good luck at the emmies, i will be rooting for you even if your parents aren't. >> thanks, rob. >> rob: we'll be right back with music from dawes. ♪ >> dicky: the "jimmy kimmel live" concert series is presented by mercedes benz, the best or nothing.
