>> hello and welcome to "jimmy kimmel live!" instead of guests tonight, we have the sounds of lawnmowers. i'm shooting this in what appears to be pablo escobar's guesthouse. and i am in the out-of-doors. it's about a hundred degrees right now. but you know with the breeze, it only feels like hell. when i agreed to host this show a few weeks ago, i said "let's do it outside! that's what the health experts recommend!" and then this weekend, l.a. county recorded its highest temperature ever of 121 degrees. i know that because literally every person i follow on social media posted a screen grab of their weather app. , cpetion trying to prove it global warming will eventually kill us all together. as you know, yesterday was labor day, which is a columbus day that you're not racist for celebrating. i went to a pool party, and by that, i mean i wore a mask alone in my pool and played ambient crowd noises like an nba bubble game. and on saturday, you may have

heard about this, i went to this fun little boat parade in texas, and sadly -- my ship sank. her name was "the hms metaphor," and she will be missed. with the passing of labor day, summer is now officially over, and also somehow, hasn't happened yet. it's like the movie tenet. i'm assuming that's what it's like. i haven't seen it yet because i don't want to die. the big question leading into the weekend was would people follow the advice of health experts and avoid large parties? and the answer is, america. >> virus didn't stop crowds from hitting a lot of beaches saturday and sunday. these are pictures of some busy beaches from california, to flora nersey. >> i had in mind this is what it would be like, but i didn't yo can't even -- they're like side to side, it's crazy. >> a massive crowd of people showing up for an unofficial

burning man festival in california. no social distancing. >> you just gotta ask yourself, do you want your obituary to include the phrase "unofficial san francisco-based burning man festival?" and was it worth it? labor day barbecues aren't even fun under normal circumstances. they're like 4th of july with half the food, half the booze, and none of the fireworks. all you get is a sunburn and an hour-long lecture from your uncle todd about refinancing your mortgage before it's too late. guillermo, you didn't go to a barbecue this weekend, did you? >> guillermo: no, i stayed home. i got drunk, i eat. but on sunday, i made a big mistake. >> what was that? what did you do. >> guillermo: well, i tried to make love to my wife. and she was so mad, she said listen, it's 117 here, are you [ bleep ] crazy? >> yeah, that will do it, guillermo. that will do it. i actually had the same

conversation with my wife, without the tem entrepreneur. it was literally about me going to host today and not helping teach the kids. what do you want to say to all these people o partying during the pandemic? >> guillermo: listen, don't be stupid. if you want to drink, do it at home. respect everybody, you know? >> wow, you're like anthony fauci with a mustache. thanks guillermo. you know the biggest thing i did this year besides hosting a talk show under a pergola was appearing in "frozen 2." it's a captivating film that finally answers the question, "can disney sell even more olaf toothbrushes?" the answer was surprisingly yes. yes, they can. they're actually doing screenings of "frozen 2" at drive-in theaters around the country. if you thought being stuck at home while your kids screamed "into the unknown" was a lot, you should try it in a car. the other disney movie i'm in this summer is artemis fowl, where i play a master thief

named "mulch diggums." as you can see in this picture, i look like i'm playing hagrid in a harry potter porno. that's actually not makeup, that's just how i looked after california shut the barbershops down. and because disney and i just can't get enough of each other, we collaborated on a new original olaf short called "once upon a snowman." which is coming to disney plus october 23rd. and we're also working on another exciting olaf project that we think is going to revolutionize the world of educat wn comes to thelenges ro a little help. that's why disney is introducing "olaf's learning adventures", a new series of tutoring videos led by the voice of olaf himself, josh gad. >> class is in session, kids. let's learn. >> these fun and educational videos will help your kids master all kinds of subjects like science. >> what is photo synthesis?

that's easy enough. photo synthesis is when plants takeig it food! i think. >> grammar. >> what is the ad verb in this sentence? we laughed so hard our stomachs hurt. so the adverb is -- why don't, why don't you tell me, kids. is it left? or another, or another one of the words i said in that phrase? you guys aren't going to like any of the answers to these. >> and math! >> how do you find the area ofc the rht come laf! you went to college, damn it, stop be being an idiot. what the hell is this? the kids aren't going to use

this b[ bleep ] anyway. >> uh, mommy? olaf says i'm never going to use this [ bleep ]. >> olaf's learning adventures. who says learning can't be fun? >> me, that's who! i'm done! a ah! they have to learn the swear words sometime. we need to take a break but we've got a great show for you tonight. i'm going to honor a healthcare hero with some surprise friends, and we'll be right back with my pal daisy ridley. ♪ >> dicky: abc's "jimmy kimmel live," brought to you by lexus. ♪ ♪ ♪ only lexus asks questions like these, because we believe the most amazing machines

tomorrow, i won't be here, i'll be at home in my boxers laying under a ceiling fan, but brad paisley will be taking over hosting duties with his guest rainn wilson. for years, my first guest put up with my countless nagging questions about "star wars," but last year, her saga came to an end, and life must sadly go on. so tonight, i invited her on to ask her more nagging questions about "star wars." please welcome sith grandchild and self-proclaimed skywalker daisy ridley. >> hi, josh. >> hello, daisy, as you can see, i've been perfecting my british dialect for you, love. this is your first talk show since "the rise of skywalker" came out. that's kind of insane. i feel honored. how does it feel having no secrets to keep? no spoilers to spoil? >> we're good at keeping secrets. >> i've felt really good about keeping them as well.

>> okay. here's the thing. this is what i know you're going to talk about. you wanted to come visit the set when we were filming the film, and it never worked out. and then they were doing additional photography, and i said it's a massive spoiler. if you come, it's a huge spoiler, and it would be great if you came. and you came. >> wait a second, wait a second. i know there was a scheduling conflict. i know i show up on a day when you told me there's a spoiler, what you didn't tell me it's like the entire movie was in that moment, pkooo. i was so blown away by that. do you regret inviting me that day? do you have a guilty conscience like you should? >> it was the first time in our friendship when you really looked at me with something that wasn't joy in your eyes. >> in america, we call that "hate." so dais, i want to ask you, i

just found this out. have you been keeping ray's secret from the beginning? did you know about the parentage? tell me about that journey of when you found out. >> no. at the beginning, there was toying like with an obi-wan connection. then it went to she was no one. and then it came to nine and jj pitched me the film. oh, yeah. and then he w, and then i was like, awesome. then two weeks later he was like, oh, we're not sure. so it kept changing. so even while we were filming i wasn't sure what the answer was going to be. >> until the very end. so at one point, obi-wan was in there. who else, was olaf amongst the possible parents? >> i think olaf was, yeah, yeah, just a galaxy far, far away. he was in a different, it was a darker time. >> now that it's all over, are

people still pestering you? are people still asking you questions all the time? are they still bugging you about it, or do you find that your life has found a normalcy? >> we would be leaving the premiere, and people would go, so you buried the life saber? you're going back? and i was, like, no, no, no. you were there with bb-8? no. it's the end of the trilogy, but people would literally, were you there from the film to the party, were asking questions. >> what i love about that story is that you had to do it with an american dialect, that the people that you were impersonating were clearly all americans. now i still have some pressing questions for you. i hope you don't mind. if palpatine is your grandfather, who exactly is your grandmother in that scenario? >> you tell me, josh. >> i wasn't there for that evening.

unfortunately, in a galaxy far, far away, so now that palpatine is dead, isn't ray the empress? by the way, do you like the fact that, like, just this is the new way of doing a talk show, with just like helicopters in the background sounding like the cartel is about to get busted as i'm in this random house? >> i wondered if you added the sound effects, no, i guess it's l.a. and there are helicopters. >> dais, what is next for you? i'm so excited to see what's coming out. >> i have done a video game that's coming out soon called 12 minutes. i have done an audible original called islanders which actually comes out next week and then "chaos walking", which we shot many, many years ago is due to be released in cinemas in january 2021. >> i had a chance to listen to your podcast, and it was incredible. your voice is so soothing. when you host one of these things they force you to

actually listen and study what your guest has been doing, and i was like, oh, i got to listen to this podcast now just to be friendly to daisy, but i did it, i did my work, and i was mesmerized by it. >> really? >> you have such an amazing voice for this stuff. it's really incredible. and have you spent your entire quarantine in the uk? >> i have. and also, in answer to your other question about if people have been asking me questions, i haven't seen anybody? six months. this is the first conversation i'm having out of the borough. >> we don't need thousands of dollars of equipment. we can face time tonight if you want to just chat. i got to ask you one final question, dais. hypothetically, ten years from now they come back to you and say hey, daisy, we would love for to you come back and reprise ray in a new series of "star wars" films. do you think you would do did?

>> i mean, the world is a crazy place right now. ten years seems an awfully long way away. i'd say, never say never, but to me, i would say it was tied up with a bow. >> i love you so much. i can't thank you enough for joining me. i hope we get to see your story ten years from now. and that you won't be selfish. starting thursday, you can listen to daisy's voice on the new audible original drama "islanders." when we come back, i'm going to celebrate a healthcare hero with the help of a few guests, so stick ♪ >> dicky: portions of "jimmy kimmel live" are brought to you by planet fitness, home of the judgment-free zone. learn more at planet fitness.com. who know an open mind is the only kind. who don't need to travel to find something new. who know where to escape, even just for a moment. who don't need a fortune to find a gem. know when you spend less,a moment. you can discover even more. and never, ever stop discovering.

and i don't mean to sound presumptuous, but a little snowman told me that you and your family are pretty big fans of "frozen." is that true? >> huge fans, my fiance and i are in love with "frozen", we often sing "love is an open door", but my stepmother is the true olaf fan. she has hundreds of olafs, including an olaf-themed bathroom. >> i love that. i think i would have preferred the living room, but i can accept that. in covid hadn't hit, how would you have spent your summer? >> well, i was supposed to be getting married in june. but plans have changed, been focussing now on work instead of my wedding and honeymoon. >> it was supposed to be a disney princess-themed wedding. how does that work? would woodland birds help you and your bridesmaids get ready?

>> i wish. i got engaged at cinderella's castle at magic kingdom. from then on we knew we were going to have a disney-princess-themed wedding with the princess dress, the hidden mickeys. and we had to tie "frozen" in. so our sign says "love is an open bar". >> fun fact, those were the original lyrics to the song. i'm so sorry to hear about the wedding. as a very wise man once said, some people are worth melting for. some weddings are worth waiting for. i have a friend i'd like you to meet, or maybe two. heck, let's bring out the whole gang. please welcome, kristen bell, idina menzel and jonathan grau. >> hello! oh, my goodness. >> hi, kelli e!
