[ applause ] in case you don't know, the l is for "leave me the -- alone." i have a special honor tonight: i am this show's very last guest host of the year. jimmy has spent all summer fishing, but it's time for him to come back. right now the disney swat team's pulling his ass out of a lake. funny thing about jimmy, for years, he has been trying to weasel his way into my vacations with magic johnson. so much so that he even photoshopped himself into our vacation photos and showed them on this very program. for real. i mean, this is the behavior of a sick, sad individual. there's a guy on this show named pat who wasted eight hours of his life putting these together. missed his daughter's high school graduation! okay, so jimmy begs me to take him on vacation, then he goes away for the whole summer. does he invite me? nope. instead he asks me to cover his

shift. like we work together at the -- cheesecake factory. but hey, i'm happy to be working at all. everything is strange right now. we started this year thinking the election was going to be the craziest thing to happen in 2020. now batman has the damn coronavirus! the whole entertainment industry is upside down right now. movies are being delayed. theaters are mostly closed. but some people are still going to them. tom cruise went to a movie theater in london, but that's different. because he does all his own stunts. [ cough ] they wouldn't let me drive a cab in "die hard with a vengeance." you think they're letting that little bitch jump out of a plane? hey where's guillermo? >> guillermo: i'm right here! >> when was the last time you went to a movie theater and saw a movie? what'd you see? >> guillermo: i saw "sonic."

>> oh, the hedge hog. is that about the coked up little gopher running around, or was that don jr.? >> guillermo: that was the hedge hog. >> do you have a favorite movie of mine? >> guillermo: "snakes on a plane." >> wasn't it nice when the scariest thing about going on a plane was a snake jumping out of the toilet? simpler times. a lot has changed over the past six months. back then i was worried about figuring out what tiktok is. now i'm worried about a pandemic, an election, natural disasters, white supremacy, and still trying to figure out what the hell tiktok is. i'm not on tiktok, but i saw this on there. yet another person apparently thinks their dog looks like me, and well --i'll let you be the judge. >> say what again, say what again, i dare you, i double

[ bleep ] you. >> one of the writers here wanted me to call that "pup fiction." his name is josh halloway and i fired his ass. executive decision. okay, i'd like to get serious for a minute. today, as i'm sure you know is the 19th anniversary of a very somber moment in american history, the morning of september 11th, 2001 when donald trump went on tv and claimed he had the new tallest building in downtown manhattan. it's also the 7th anniversary of the day when he tweeted this. "i would like to extend my best wishes to all, even the haters and losers, on this special date, september 11th." you gotta hand it to him he always knows the wrong thing to say. i mean, we found out he called u.s. soldiers "losers and suckers," that he intentionally downplayed the coronavirus even though he knew how bad it was.

plus, he encouraged his supporters to vote twice, which is a felony. and said protesters are using soup cans as weapons and that was just in the past week! who could still be voting for this guy after all the stuff that's gone down on his watch? well, i guess this is who. this guy was at trump's rally in michigan last night. and had this very scientific reason for not wearing a mask. >> why are you guys not wearing masks? >> i have one with me. it's my prerogative. >> why not wear one to stay safe. >> i have a hard time understanding people when they talk, so that's why i don't wear it. >> you can hear me right now. >> i can hear you. >> you can't hear people when you're wearing a mask? are you shoving it in your ears? "it's my prerogative." that may be the first time a trump supporter has quoted bobby brown.

♪ it's my prerogative >> come on! the fact of the matter is, donald trump is dangerous for this country. in fact his campaign ads even come with disclaimers now. ♪ >> it's time to vote for a proven leader. it's team to usher in a new era of american pride. it's time to reelect donald j. trump. voting for donald trump may not be right for everyone. common side effects include racism, homophobia, islamophobia, anti-semitism, greed, rage, fear and mullets. it may cause you to catch coronavirus at a truck rally and die. if you experience discomfort from tear gas, stop voting for donald trump immediately. and seek medical attention. disorientation and dizziness could be a sign you just drank bleach. other side effects include destruction of the economy, the

post office and basic human decency. before voting fordoldump, ask your doctor if you are insane, because you probably are. this november, reelect donald j. trump, because he alone can keep america great. i'm just kidding. he's a [ bleep ] idiot! >> finally, something me and the trump campaign agree on. we've got a great show for you tonight. we'll hear music from snoh aalegra. and be right back with john david washington. ♪ [ applause ] ♪ >> 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. >> dicky: gemmy "jimmy kimmel

the chris nolan-directed science fiction adventure "tenet." >> you're not shooting the bullet. you're catching it. >> whoa. >> to do what i do, i need some idea of the threat we face. >> inverted. someone's manufacturing them in the future. >> all i have for you is a word. tenet. >> "tenet" is in theaters where theaters are open, please welcome john david washington. what's up, bro? >> what's up? >> i'm good. how many years would you say you and i have known each other? >> i mean, my whole life. >> your whole life. >> at least 30. >> okay. all right. and, during all that time that we've spent together, i've

instilled knowledge, and, what? experience and understanding, is that true? >> untrue. knowledge, experience and definitely some understanding, indeed, yes, definitely. >> so now you, your dad and i have just one thing in common. we've all worked for speak lee. now, when you were working for spike, did he ever say "that's not the way denzel would say it"? [ laughter ] >> oh, man! you caught me off guard. no, i can honestly say no. he never said that. he never said that. >> never? >> never said that. he gave me great stories about how y'all get down and how y'all operate and how y'all would ad lib and not listen to him, but he never said that, what you said, yeah. >> okay, all right, now you really live in brooklyn.

and since the pandemic has happened, you've had to come back home. so you're living in the house again, right? >> well, technically, actually, not anymore, but i was, i was, yes. >> oh, really? >> yeah. >> okay, when the pandemic was raging, you were back at home. >> i was in the crib, yes. >> and you were in your old room? >> yes, uncle sam, i was. >> so did that feel like those old television shows where the kid graduated from college and then he ends up coming back home? but you're not a burden on your parents, because you actually got a job and career and stuff, so, you were just there like, but you still had to do chores, right? because i know denzel likes some order in the house. >> i can't believe we're doing this right now on jimmy kimmel. >> what's your chore? >> yeah, yes, there was a chore or two, yes. >> what's your chore?

>> my chore was to make sure i'm, i'm down for dinner in time. >> that's not a chore. that's not a chore. a chore is like, you know, sweeping the driveway, taking the garbage out, something, you know? something legit that earns your keep. >> how about cooking? cooking. >> i know you cook. >> yes. >> you're the grill master. >> exactly. >> i know you're the grill master. >> thank you. >> you got mad, mad grill skills, i got to say that. >> thank you. >> now we're going to talk about this movie "tenet", how much are you actually allowed to say about it? >> yeah, man, warner bros., they're watching me right now, so i gotta be careful. they're always saying, they're always watching. but what i can say, it is a globe trotting spy thriller, action-packed, nolan genre. it's something -- >> i'm going to get to that globe trottin' part in just a

moment. i have a story in a moment. a sly story. so how many people in your family have actually seen the movie so far? >> all six of us have, yeah, my mom, dad, brothers and sisters. >> after you did the movie, did you get critiqued, and did they ask you, what the hell's going on? >> critiqued is an interesting word. we definitely went back home and discussed it the entire weekend. they loved it, and there was "what the hell is going on" moments for sure. so emma, our producer, chris's wife, made me this banana bread, and she made, technically, she made it for my mom and siblings, she didn't make it for me. so we were eating her banana bread and discussing the film. and with every bite we seemed to gain more context in the movie as we started to reflect on it. and they got it pretty quickly. >> awesome. [ bleep ] if i had known i'd

come over, if i'd known banana bread was involved, i'd have gone. i am kind of insulted by all of that. this time last year, we were at cookie and magic birthday party in st. tropez, and she was coming to visit you, but we didn't know where you were. nobody would tell us where the location was. so i had to make underground calls to figure out where you were and she had to figure out how you got to that place on the planet. so that whole globe trotting thing is true. before i let you go, the one thing i really want to know is, your character is called the protagonist, is that right? he doesn't have a real name. >> protagonist. >> so if it had to come down it and we really need to know, protagonist or equalizer? who can kick whose ass? >> okay, because, because of the

rules of inversion i'd say protagonist. because of the rules of inversion. >> uh-huh. >> you know, there's a sci-fi element that we have that equalizer didn't have that i think gives him the edge. >> so you hittin' us with a riddle. so now we got to go to the movie and make up our own minds about whether equalizer can kick your ass or not. >> yes, uncle sam. >> oh, come on, j.d. i'm really disappointed that football season is starting and i'm not going to get to watch you ball out again this year. i got to watch real football instead of your football. we're going to miss you. >> yeah. >> thank you, man, and good luck with this movie, and it's really been an honor to interview you. >> this has been fun, a dream come true. thank you. >> see how easy it was? >> i didn't know what was happening. >> you were that worried about what's going to come out of my mouth? >> yes, sir!
