that's our report for all of us. we appreciate your time. right now on ♪ ♪ this is an abc color presentation. >> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live." tonight riz ahmed and music from tim mcgraw. and now, jimmy kimmel! >> jimmy: hello, i'm jimmy. i'm the host of the show. who forgot to button his jacket. thank you for watching. thanks to our studio audience who came down from their cubicles to be here. the sound of clapping you hear is the skeleton staff we've assembled to pretend they enjoy me. [cheers and applause] >> jimmy: thank you. thank you very much. my security guard, guillermo, is

beside me as always. how are you tonight? >> guillermo: fantastic, jimmy. >> jimmy: do you like the stool i provided for you? >> guillermo: i feel like a baby in a high chair, but i like it. >> jimmy: you look like a baby in a high chair to be honest. i was worried you'd been getting too much exercise while we were at home. did you watch the lakers last night? what happened? >> guillermo: we were losing by about 20 points and we tried to come back in the last quarter, but we couldn't come back and lost by six, i think. >> jimmy: that kind of analysis could actually get you a job at espn. >> guillermo: maybe uni vision. >> jimmy: time magazine has unveiled their annual list of the 100 most influential people. the list includes donald trump, joe biden, megan thee stallion, all the world leaders. i actually wrote a little blurb about dr. fauci for it. they asked me to write it.

and i said "how many people passed on this before you got to me?" they claimed it was only one. anyway, i wrote it because i respect dr. fauci and also because i'm hoping he'll sneak me an early vial of the vaccine. if i ever meet him, i'm going to just turn around and gently lower my pants. "got anything for me"? although i do that when i meet most health professionals. "time" also announced that the least influential person of the year was this lady, who, despite the signs and a lot of yelling, was unable to effect any change to baskin robbin's mask policy. you know, because of the pandemic, the cdc is urging families to skip trick or treating this year which really screws me up. that's my bit! i'm the one who takes the kids candy away! the cdc now recommends that if your kids want to do something spooky on halloween, they should sit quietly and think about how badly the administration handled the pandemic response. halloween is a major source of

revenue for the candy companies. it's a five billion dollar industry. but i think with a little bit of re-branding, these companies could embrace covid and really cash in. for example -- are you ready for examples? [cheers and applause] >> jimmy: you better be or you're all fired! here are the examples. who wouldn't enjoy a bag of "pandem&m's?" or "now and ventilators?" "lemon droplets." "feverishly hot tamales." "no more payday." "reese's sneezes." "good and fauci." "circus ppenuts." "stand milky way over there." "three masketeers." "stuck at home with sour patch kids." and finally -- "mike and ike are dead." meanwhile, there are new -- new concerns about foreign interference in our election. because of all the mail-in ballots, it could take a while for the votes to be counted which means there's a good chance we may not know who won

on election night or maybe even for days later. the fbi yesterday issued a warning that so-called "foreign actors" might try to use that extra time between voting and results to "spread disinformation" and "undermine confidence in u.s. democratic institutions." the foreign actors they are specically worried about are these, the cast of "schitt's creek." first they come for our emmys, then they come for our democracy. there's increasing concern that even if he loses, trump will refuse to leave the white house. but here's the thing, that's simple. if the american people want to guarantee that donald trump will leave us, there's an easy thing we can do, marry him. i miss the drummer sometimes, you know? by the way, you know who is gonna be voting for the first time ever this year? mike tyson. tyson tweeted yesterday that he is proud that he will finally cast a vote.

in this election. and i think that's great. if for no other reason than i want to hear mike tyson say the words "participating in democracy." speaking of prize fights, we are now less than a week away from the first presidential debate between donald trump and joe biden. the debate will be held in cleveland at case western reserve university. never heard of it. trump has reportedly been preparing for the debates by watching tv. that's right. he's been training twelve hours a day for the past four years for this. they say that biden considered taking a page from trump's book and putting the women who accused him of sexual assault in the audience for the debate but they're not allowed to have more than 400 people in the crowd. [cheers and applause] watching joe biden in these debates will be like watching your kid in the school play. you'll be like -- very good. all right.

there will be no audience for the debate so the president has been warming himself in front of a series of crowds. trump was in moon township, pennsylvania last night where he once again floated this strange idea slash accusation that he and joe biden should take drug tests. >> this guy doesn't have a clue. he doesn't know where the hell he is. and they'll give him a shot of something. i don't know. he's going to get something, ellie b he'll be, you know, i watched him so badly in the debates, and then with bernie, he was average. he got through. and i said what the hell is he taking? and i said that, we want a drug test. we want a drug test. test. test. weel beet ta we'll both take it, we'll both take it. >> jimmy: i don't think lipitor is considered to be performance-enhancing. i hope biden takes him up on that! i would love to see trump's drug test! propecia, cialis, adderall, dexatrim, that one that stops you from leaking.

he'd probably just get the same guy who took his s.a.t.s for him. kamala harris is gearing up for her one and only vice presidential debate with mike pence next month. during her practice sessions, which don't seem that necessary, mayor pete buttigieg has been standing in for mike pence. you know, they do these practice debates. do you even need a person to fill in for mike pence? just put a white wig on a mop and call it a day. there's a lot on the line for pence. for one thing, he'll be forced to be in the same room as a woman without mother standing by. which is difficult. i'm worried about mike pence if he wants to knock this debate out of the park, he needs to get some new material. pence has been on the road telling the same phony story about his "daily conversation" with president trump over and over again. >> i got to tell you, when i told him i was going to be in michigan tonight when he was in london, i think he sounded just a little bit jealous. when i told him last night that i was headed to iowa, i think he

looked just a little jealous. when i told him yesterday that i was headed to wisconsin, i think he was a little jealous. headed to the keystone state, headed to louisiana. headed to pennsylvania, i think he looked just a little bit jealous. i thought he sounded just a little bit jealous. i think he sounded just a little bit jealous. i think he sounded just a little bit jealous. i think he sounded just a little bit jealous. i think he sounded just a little bit jealous. >> jimmy: i think you might need to be rebooted, mr. vice president. charges were filed today in the case of breonna taylor who, as you know, was killed by police in a raid of her apartment even though she had done nothing. many are upset. there are protests in louisville and elsewhere as well. so the president, as he is known to do, took a moment to offer words of healing and unity and condolences to the taylor family. >> mr. president, do you believe

that justice was served in the breonna taylor case in kentucky? and what is your message to the black community, who believe that perhaps justice was not served by the decision that was rendered by the grand jury in kentucky? >> well, my message is that i love the black community, and i've done more for the black community than any other president, and i say with the possible exception of abraham lincoln, and i mean that. with opportunity zones and criminal justice reform, prison reform, with what we've done for historically black universities, colleges, schools, what we've done, nobody's done more. abraham lincoln, let's geoff him t the nod but beyond that, nobody's done more. >> jimmy: it's amazing. no matter what you ask him, he makes it about himself. "mr president, what do you think about the celtics in the playoffs?" "nobody's done more for the irish! nobody's driven more snakes out of ireland than me. maybe st. patrick." thank you

for yet another sweatysburg address. can't we just have the election now? is anyone actually undecided? this kind of tells you all you need to know with all that is going on right now all the division and fear and unemployment. last month, the trump campaign spent $477,000 on fireworks. for real. roll the tape here. not only did mexico not pay for the wall, trump paid them half a million dollars for fireworks. this is the display for the republican national convention. and it's a beautiful display, no question about that. and the fact that they toppled the washington monument, well, i'm sure they'll get that all taped up. trump never could understand why they built a monument to denzel washington in the first place. this is our first week here in the studio after more than six months of working from home. and when you're a couple and you've been cooped up together for half the year, you have a chance to rediscover each other for better or worse.

you remember what you like the most about your partner and maybe happen upon some new things that you don't. so we asked our staff, those who have a plus one, to share with us the significant things they've learned about their significant others during quarantine. and i hope you find some comfort in this for your own relationship. ♪ >> i've learned that my wife likes to angle the computer towards an open doorway during her work zooms. so, on more than one occasion, all of her co-workers have seen me pass by naked. >> my girlfriend's a copyrighter, which apparently means watching endless tiktoks at full volume while doing very little writing. >> i've learned that my wife in quarantine likes to vacuum three times a day. once in the morning, once in the

afternoon, and once right before bed, for some reason. >> she needs to have the ac, 24/7, okay, 24/7. and it gets cold, so i don't like that. so at nighttime i weak up and go turn that off, and i told her, listen, you don't pay the bill, the bills are going to be real expensive. >> during my time together with my fiance, i learned that she's person on zoom calls that uses all those business jargon terms like "kirle back", "touch base", and my least favorite, "turn key". >> while my husband loves the idea of cooking from scratch he's not that great of following through. the refrigerator is full of sar dough starter. >> we have two different types of kitchen scissors.

>> after nearly six months of working from home, down the hall from my husband, i've learned that he will literally work in his own filth and trash for days, sometimes weeks. i have found half-eaten grapes on the table. and the other day our 1-year-old daughter had some mustard on the bottom of her foot and i eventually figured out that my husband had left a paper plate with mustard on the floor, and i'm guessing she stepped in that, so. yeah. >> jimmy: the bug zapper is a nice touch, too. just get some yellow carpet, mustard problem solved. tonight on the show, tim mcgraw is here. and we'll be right back with riz ahmed. so stick around! ♪ [cheers and applause] ♪ >> dicky: abc's "jimmy kimmel live," brought to you by progressive.

doing? >> jimmy: i'm good, how are you. >> i'm good. i'm virtually at home. >> jimmy: your home is beautiful. it's white and clean. where are you? you look like you're in an apple commercial. >> i'm in l.a. >> jimmy: oh, you are. that's when you have to kind of face all your demons, really, all the stuff you're running away from, by working all the time. >> jimmy: what demons? >> psychological, yeah >> jimmy: what demons did you face? did you have people in the house? pets? did you have anyone? >> um, well, i don't want to overlook potella or anything. it wasn't too intense. i was thinking about getting a dog at one point. a lot of people got these covid dogs. >> jimmy: yeah, right. >> i felt like that would be a good idea for a week, and then it would be a hassle. so instead i got a robot vacuum cleaner. you got one of those? it's really good.

if you're thinking about getting a dog, you're thinking things are quiet at home. you like a pet but not the mess, it cleans up after itself. >> jimmy: instead of getting hair on the rug it gets hair off of the rug. >> it's perfect. >> jimmy: how are your parents doing? they live in london, sdplebt. >> they do, they do. i was on some, i know it's like, i thought i was kind of being this heroic son and looking out for my aging parents. i'd go to drop off fruit and veg and they'd open the door with ready-cooked meals in tupperware, here you go. it's the classic asian mom kind of thing. but even in this situation they couldn't help but try and -- >> jimmy: you come hom more food than you brought. >> yeah, it was really not what

i had been planning on. >> jimmy: i saw on instagram you lost a couple family members, your aunt and uncle to covid, right? >> yeah, that's right. >> jimmy: and your uncle seemed like a character and a great guy, based on what i saw. >> yeah, he was, he was. his name was shaquille. and both my, so it was my dad's side and my mom's side, an aunt and an uncle, and both of them had really eventful lives growing up in the uk at a time that was maybe slightly less tolerant and making their way through that, making a success of their lives, but both of them ultimately turning towards faith. and my uncle in particular, shaquille mamu, he as wearing silk shirts coming down to here with open necks and medallions and working for a banker trying to provide support to the immigrant community, and after that he became a preacher. so he really had the gift of the

gab between being a teddy boy, working in banking sales and then almost being a door to door kind of preacher. he always had jokes and stuff. and i think about his, this video from his 60th birthday with his twin brother, he gave their beautiful speech and said i hope all your dreams come true to everyone here. and if they do, i hope you don't mind sharing a little bit. and that was his vibe, you know. he always had a little joke, but when i think about where we are as a species right now, i feel like his words are ringing in his ears. a lot of the challenges that we face are ones that we share, and the way out of them is also sharing resources or health care, you know. >> jimmy: yeah. >> so his spirit is kind of, is with me, i think, as i kind of move forwards. >> jimmy: did he get a kick out of your career, your music career, your acting career? >> he did, yeah. he did, i think.

i mean, he was kind of interesting, because he always kept you grounded. so he'd say listen, i saw this thing. oh, pretty cool, pretty good. but like, have you been praying recently? there's always that kind of angle like ah, yeah, you're right. i've got to stay grounded. i've got to remember what really matters. but he was just always full of jokes and i think a lot of people think of faith and sadly you think possibly in america a lot of people might associate islam with a stern kind of faith. to me he was kind of the most compassionate, loving guya, anda machb fait man of faith and faith that we could all do well with. >> jimmy: when we come back i want to talk about your movie and an album you released unfortunately in march. we'll be back with more from riz

yeah. >> jimmy: did you ever listen to country music growing up? >> i didn't, you know, it's not huge in northwest london, maybe a gap in the market there. >> jimmy: how did you get involved in hip-hop music? how old were you when you discovered it and how? >> you know, i discovered it through my big brother like a lot of things, a lot of things good and bad, and my brother would, you know, bootleg all these cassettes and say make sure you don't listen to these, because they have swearing on them. so as soon as he left the house i was memorizing all the verses. and to be honest, i was a hyperactive kid, so i liked to run the motor mouth of memorizing the lyrics. but it kind of got me in trouble at school a little bit. >> jimmy: what cassettes did he have? >> associate man, all those '90s things, biggie, and also the darker horror rap like

gravediggers. really graphic stuff. >> jimmy: and you would do this at school? >> yeah, exactly. we were a science museum trip, and they were like, this is a recording studio. you all can go in and record your message to your mom or whatever. and i was 10, 11 years old, and i started spitting these wutang words. >> jimmy: i imagine that wouldn't go over well with mom or the faculty at the school, yeah. this is the album. the album is, you release td in march, which is unfortunate timing wise, but it's called "the long good-bye", and it's about a story that was really like the big story of march, before covid hit, brexit, right? i guess your personal brexit. >> the album is a breakup story,

going through a breakup with your country. it's a story that people in the uk can relate to, a lot of people in the u.s. feel like they're going through a breakup. the philippines, india, hungary. it's a tumultuous time. people feel like i'm breaking up with this country or it's breaking up with me, so the album goes through that breakup, ang g anger, depression, grief, and it ends up with great love. and we have great guests, people like mindy kaling and yara shahidi. they're my friends helping me through this breakup. so it really tells that story. >> jimmy: i didn't know it was a me metaphor. so when i was listening to the album, i'm like, whoever this girl is, she's going to be really mad. >> she's already mad.

britannia is kind of pissed. it's heartbreaking because you care about the place. on both sides of the atlantic, we can go through some couples counseling and come out the other side with new relationships in tact. >> jimmy: you have a new movie coming out called "sound of metal." i saw the trailer. it looks really, really good. who is the director of this film? >> it's an amazing first time director, darius it's a movie with a lot of heart. it's got a very particular sound design. the character i play, ruben, goes through a process of hearing loss through the film. so the sound design is new that hearing loss.

the whole movie is captioned, so hearing audiences and non-hearing audiences can all experience ruben's journey, and then the film is equally accessible to all audiences. >> jimmy: you play a punk rock drummer. do you know how to play the drups? d did you know how to play the drums before the movie? >> i did not. the intention initially was that i would be a metal drummer. it became very clear very quickly that even with my three-hour lessons every day for seven months i'm not going to become a metal drummer. but we downgraded it or made it a slightly less technical style of drumming, but my drama teacher was incredibly patient. >> jimmy: and you learned sign language. >> i did. ruben's journey is an introduction to deaf culture.

my friend, jeremy lee stone, yeah, we would kind of spend that seven months just spending hours together every day and introducing me to friends and members of that community and exposing me to the richness of deaf culture. >> jimmy: we have the brand-new trailer for "sound of metal." have you seen the trailer yet? >> i haven't seen the latest trailer, i saw a rough one ages ago, so i'm excited to see it. >> jimmy: pay close attention. this is the new amazon original movie "sound of metal." and on prime december 4. thank you, ♪ >> your hearing is

but, you know, i thought i would do something really special and something really good, so what i did, i'll go get it. is it all right if i leave for just a second? >> jimmy: yes, of course, i'll talk to the adirondack chair. so, how are you enjoying tim's bottom? >> that is dis -- not, not as much as it should be. that's decidedly not an adirondack chair. >> jimmy: sorry of. >> i'll let her, but anyway, i thought, look, i'm artistic. i'm creative. >> jimmy: mm-hm. >> i can do something really cool and something really special that means a lot to my wife. so what i did is i went to a ceramic shop and got a cup because she likes her coffee in the morning. so i got this cup and did this beautiful paint job on this cup. i wrote this beautiful phrase on the back, i painted it. it was so beautiful. if i show this to you now, we have to go into business.

>> jimmy: i'd love to see your etsy shop for sure. >> this is it right here. this was a home run, i got to tell you. >> jimmy: wow. that is beautiful. >> yeah. isn't that gorgeous? come on. you're not going to be abe to raid it. >> jimmy: what does that say? >> it says, i don't know if i can read it. it says, this is my, this is my intelligent song writing. >> jimmy: okay. >> as the sun sets, i will love you more. >> jimmy: that's beautiful, except for don't you drink coffee in the morning? >> well, i know. you know, she, she could throw some tequila in it for the evening. >> jimmy: i love the idea of you in a color-me mind carefully painting that mug. >> this was very carefully done, as you can tell.

>> jimmy: i can see. >> the writing, i mean, that's exquisite. >> jimmy: they call that outsider art, tim. it's a very valuable piece. >> and the times that we live in, i've got to find something, something to supplement my income. >> jimmy: well, tim, you got a new album, it's called "here on earth." when you come back, you are going to play a song for us. what song are you going to play for us? >> we're going to play "i called mama." this album, we took two and half making this album and had it ready before the world fell apart. "mama" was caught right before this. it's a great country song, but, as the world changed, the song really took on a meaning about who's important to you?

who are the people who ground you? who are the people you count on who can put you back in order when things are out of control, and more importantly, you got to look at yourself and think who are the people who count on you and are you there for them and can you be there for them, and that's just as important as thinking about the people who are important to you. >> jimmy: you've given my a lot to think about, tim. >> don't hurt yourself. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: go shave and get ready. we'll be back with music from tim mcgraw. ♪ >> dicky: the "jimmy kimmel live" concert series is presented by mercedes benz, the best or nothing.
