tv and roku, search for abc7 b ♪ this is an abc color presentation. >> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live"! tonight -- norman reedus. our healthcare hero for the week. and music from aminé. and now, jimmy kimmel! >> jimmy: hi, i'm jimmy kimmel. i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. thank you for joining me for another show with no audience. the people you hear clapping are being paid to do it. they are our staff, here in what is known as "zone a." because of covid, our office is divided up into zones right now. everyone gets assigned a zone. this is zone a. this is where we are. and everyone else is in zone b. so we look down on them now, because we're the zone a-ers!

[cheers and applause] zone a is the best zone. the rest of you are zone b-m. is what you are over in the -- you know today -- this morning, an asteroid the size of a school bus narrowly passed by earth. in astronomical terms, it just missed us. which is a shame. i feel like some of you aren't praying hard enough. with each passing day, it seems more and more likely that we are on the brink of something very bad. our president made another history making statement last night, when asked if he would leave the white house gracefully if he doesn't win. >> win, lose or draw in this election, would you commit here today for a peaceful transfer a a alof pure after the election? >> we'll have to see what happens, as you know i've been complaining very strongly about the ballots, the ballots are a disaster. >> i understand that, but the

people are rioting. >> we want to, get rid of the ballots, and we'll have a very peaceful, there won't be a transfer, frankly, there'll be a continuation. >> jimmy: well, so much for that nobel peace prize. that is -- you know, we make a lot of jokes about this guy, but what he just said is terrifying. if he doesn't win, he wants to burn this country down several republican senators pushed back on the president's dangerous words, even that old son of a mitch mcconnell poked his head out of his shell to refute it. he tweeted "the winner of the november 3rd election will be inaugurated on january 20th. there will be an orderly transition just as there has been every four years since 1792." that is crazy. imagine having to come out in support of a peaceful transfer of power. you can't just squat the white house! and these monsters are busy cooking up all sorts of ways to fix this election. there is a very disturbing report in "the atlantic" about this. the trump administration has a plan to steal the election. as you probably know, the president isn't chosen by popular vote. hillary beat trump by almost

3 million votes. al gore got more votes than george bush. the election is officially decided by the states, through the electoral college. but the delegates sent to the electoral college are supposed to vote for the person who got the most votes in their state. but this is donald world we're living in here. he doesn't just look like a cheeto, it's his motto. so here's what they're planning, according to the atlantic. step one, trump and his subdemons tell everyone the election is rigged against him, which right off the bat, is nuts. he's the president! but you can see he's doing that now. he keeps saying the mail-in ballots are fraudulent, even though he himself votes by mail then in the likely event that biden gets more votes, he'll be able to say "see? he got fraudulent votes!" then, since six of the key battleground states have republican-controlled legislatures, the legislatures send trump loyalists to the electoral college who say, "well, we don't know who got the most votes. those mail-in ballots are fraudulent, we knew that all

along! so since we don't know, we'll go ahead and vote for the guy we like." so they cast their votes, trump wins the electoral college and is president for four more years. you have to hand it to them. they're not too bright, but every once in a blue moon they come up with a good one. or maybe putin comes up with it for them. so he steals the election, and then who knows what happens? i don't know about you, but i miss the days when hearing about a civil war just meant a new captain america movie. and while trump is working hard to discredit an election that hasn't even happened yet, his press secretary, kylie macaroni, is busy working to discredit any reporter who dares to ask about this. >> kelly, i wonder if you can clarify or clean up something the president said yesterday. if he loses this election, can you assure us that there will be a peaceful transfer of power. >> you are referring to the question asked by the playboy reporter, right? >> i'm referring to the

president being asked if there will be a peaceful transfer of power, and did he not say. i'm asking, will there be a peaceful transfer of power if he loses. >> i believe that question asked by the playboy power, i believe i have it right here. >> jimmy: gee, kayleigh really doesn't like playboy. maybe they rejected the god only knows what's in those pockets there. uncle scam was at it again today before his visits to florida and north carolina, he stopped to float more of this nonsense about mail-in ballots. >> mr. brez president, are the election results only reliable if you win? >> they found eight ballots in a wastepaper basket in some location. they found, it was reported in one of the newspapers that they found a lot of ballots in a river. they throw them out if they have

the name "trump "as many as " o. >> jimmy: "sir, those were bed, bath and beyond coupons." well, they still got wet. they were in a river. rarely do you see a sore loser before they even play the game. meanwhile, the president's third favorite son tweeted today. "i know children running for first grade class president that spend more time campaigning then joe biden has running for a president of the united states." you do? who are these first graders you know? what are their names? and how do you know them? does first grade even have a class president? we didn't when i was a kid. is it possible that donald trump jr never went to school? and of all the things you could say about joe biden, "lazy" seems like a strange choice given that your father spends most of his time watching lou dobbs and dunking big macs into soup bowls full of ketchup. speaking of lou dobbs. this is a good one.

lou dobbs from fox business is donald trump sycophant number one with a bullet! >> my quote of the day comes from the new book "the trump century", i wrote, if president trump can win again, he would join winston churchill and alexander the great among the greatest leaders of world history. and if he falls short, well, there is no point in considering the possibility. he's a winner. the winner. >> jimmy: boy, lou, he skips right past the penis and goes straight to the ball pin. he's, trump needs that right now. he needs all his support from his friends. the president and first lady visited the supreme court today, to pay their respects to the late ruth bader ginsburg. and that did not go as well as he'd hoped. he was greeted with boos and chants of "vote him out." "vote him out", "vote him out."

trump plans to announce his nominee to replace justice ginsburg on saturday. he says it will be a woman. someone who looks good in a robe. hopefully. you know, i was thinking about it, and i was wondering how far would be too far for republicans who support donald trump. so we went out on the street to take a socially distant survey. we asked people what they thought of the president's decision to nominate his daughter, ivanka, to be the next supreme court justice. >> the big announcement today, president trump replacing justice ruth bader ginsburg, announcing he'd be replacing her with his daughter ivanka. what was your reaction when you first learned about that? >> i was a little surprised. i think it's a good pick. >> what do you like about her? >> she's a smart businesswoman. she's educated. really good institutions and i think she's going to be good for the economy, not for the economy, good fort country. >> does the fact that she

doesn't have a law degree matter? >> i don't think it does. >> where did you watch the admounsment? >> heard it on the radio. >> who were buyou with? >> my son. he lives here in hollywood. >> what do you think about the robes with the high slit? >> he's a pervert. >> what did you say about him making the announcement with ivanka on his lap? >> that image of ivanka on his lap was completely and totally inappropriate. he's the president of the united states, the biggest and greatest country on earth. that absolutely should not happen. >> he says ivanka promises so overturn row row v your boat. do you think that's good or no? >> i don't know. >> is it time to overturn row row v your boat? >> potentially. >> as a woman, do you find

yourself more on the side of row row or the boat? >> probably row row. >> i'm sure you saw this morning, president trump stood on the white house lawn and said that ivanka is just like ruth bader ginsburg but pardon my language, [ bleep ] hotter. when you saw that, how did you feel? >> i felt very angry. very sad. it's a very sexist thing to say, not something a president should say about other women. >> do you agree with donald trump, it's time to add some sex appeal to the court? >> this is such a, oh, my god, this is crazy somebody would say that. no, absolutely not. can i ask you real quick? are those that you're reading to me, are they true? or is it something you guys make up for the program? >> yeah, making it up for the program. >> oh, so it's not true. >> no. >> oh, my god, i look like an idiot now. but i can imagine him doing this stuff, though, that's the crazy

part. >> the crazy part. >> jimmy: all right, and one more thing before we forge ahead. it's thursday night. we are back in the studio, which means it's time to bleep and blur the big tv moments of the week, whether they need it or not, it's "this week in unnecessary censorship."

fighting this disease. so you have your own army army y is it weird to be back in the workplace? >> it's weird to be in the workplace. usually it's the hottest part of the year. i get my head right to sweat a lot, but it's pretty cold. >> jimmy: where were you holed up during all this? >> you know, i came from, i was doing ride in new zealand, and i did two episodes. >> jimmy: that's your travel show. you ride around different countries and places with friends and whatnot, right? >> yeah, i was with josh brolin and dylan mcdermott. we were having a good time, and i went where my girl was working and we had a house we had rented. i arrived at 6:00 a.m. i have a brand-new daughter, she wakes up and points at the grass and says "bird". so we went out into the grass, and i was like, this is nice,

you can sit out in the grass here, and we looked at houses. my girl had a table reading. she went to the table reading, and i bought a house while she weighs in t was in the reading, so she couldn't say no. >> jimmy: you actually made the purchase and she didn't get to check did out or anything, shuh? >> well, she saw it, but she said very to go to this meeting, and i sent her a text message saying we're moving. >> jimmy: was she happy about that or super annoyed? >> she was happy. she forgave me. >> jimmy: so then you stayed in los angeles during that time? >> i stayed in los angeles for a while, and at one point i flew to new york and drove a car back so that we'd have a car in los angeles. >> jimmy: wow. >> so i drove the entire way by myself. >> jimmy: you went yourself and drove the car back. >> yeah. >> jimmy: that's funny. was it a nice drive? how long did it take you? >> it took me about three and a

half days, so i took a stuffed monkey with me, every once in a while i talked to the monkey, but it took me about three days. there was nobody on the roads. the hotels were empty. it was really surreal. >> jimmy: did anyone spot you and the monkey on the road together? >> a couple of people. i had one good ole boy was like, why are you wearing a mask? you don't gotta wear a mask. i'm not wearing a mask, and i was like, "you will be." >> jimmy: you haven't checked back in with him, have you? >> no. >> jimmy: and the monkey, what happens after your long drive together? does he just get thrown in a closet or something? or is he treated as a member of the family? >> my daughter took the monkey. >> jimmy: so he does have a home, all right. well, i wanted to ask you something, because at the beginning of all of this, in march, your girlfriend, diane, posted this photograph. and it says, and this, she's referring to you, i don't think he understood the concept of two

weeks worth of nonperishable foods, #when you let your boyfriend go grocery shopping. that's what you came home with? >> yeah. well, i mean, i kind of did it online. i didn't really go to the grocery store. >> jimmy: oh, you did. >> yeah, and i thought i was getting six potatoes. i didn't realize i was getting six boxes of potatoes. but we's all of them. and a lot of our neighbors had potatoes. >> jimmy: you ate all the potatoes? >> i gave a lot of potatoes away. >> jimmy: hey, there's a guy giving away potatoes here in the neighborhood. that's a way to warm yourself up to the neighbors, that's for sure. when did you do this? i imagine you do this a lot. you take photographs as you work, correct? >> i do, yeah. >> jimmy: you've made a book of photographs called "portraits from the woods". it's not out yet, but i wanted to ask you about it, the pictures are great, really great photographs here. do you carry a camera with you

every place you go? >> i do. i travel a lot, and i take a lot of pictures. >> jimmy: and you just took some candid shots from the set, and others. i like this one. this is one of, a faceless man smoking? >> he's got a straw, yeah. i think it was shown we just chopped his face off, so i took a picture. >> jimmy: was the straw in his mouth for practical reasons or for fun? >> i think he's breathing through. his mouth is sealed up. they have to cover his mouths so when they chop his face they don't chop his lips off, i imagine. >> jimmy: they say showbiz is glamorous, but when you look at this this, not so much. here's an undead woman enjoying a mountain dew. >> yeah. i think, i think the zombies on our show are kind of used to me, can you just hold that there for

a second? is ki kind of let pme get away it. >> jimmy: anything you do that's normal is hysterical, right? is this on ride? >> that's on ride. dave became a really good friend of mine. he's such a genius guy. he was the guest at a comedy club. so we filmed him going in and surprising the comedy club as the unannounced guest, and i'm backstage with him, and he gets like really serious, and he's chain smoking and doing his thing, and i'm kind of like, wow, i'm in the mind of a genius for a second. and he ran out there, i ran out really quick and sat at a table with a stranger, and he starts going out and starts talking about politics and talking about trump and all this stuff, and you could sort of feel the room getting a little weird, and i look over, and the good ole boy i'm sitting next to has a knife about this big on the table, and i'm looking at the security guy

going, and he was like, i siee the knife. and that whole room kind of got weird, and dave starts singing "cause i'm a creep", the radiohead song, and he had the whole place singing. he's such a genius, he turned that whole room into a hippie love fest. >> jimmy: even the guy with the knife? >> even the guy with the knife. it was a beautiful thing, yeah. >> jimmy: we're going to take a break. when we come back, norman reedus is with us, we'll be right back. >> dicky: portions of "jimmy kimmel live" are brought to you by new crest whitening emulsions. ...

couldn't put it on the air, correct? >> yeah, which was kind of a bummer. we're shooting six mini episodes now to try out the covid situation, and then those will be an extension of that, that finale, and then we'll go into a full season that will be two seasons' worth of filming. so i'm going to be here forever. >> jimmy: does this mean they added part of a season or subtracted? >> i like the question. it's, they've, it's basically will come out as two seasons, but we're going to shoot it as one, giant season without one stop. >> jimmy: the actress who plays maggie is coming back, is that okay to say? >> yeah. >> jimmy: i just said it. they announced daryl is getting his own spinoff show. that will pick up after the "walking dead" ends, right? after the run is over? >> correct, yeah. and it's a different type of a show. it will be completely different. >> jimmy: it will be a sitcom,

i do. i really do. >> jimmy: how are things in the icu nowadays? >> hectic, you know. we run about half covid, half not, you know, depending on the week. it's give-and-take, as soon as one come, as soon as one leaves, one comes. but beds are never empty, especially the past few months. but we make do, and we take care of everyone and get them quick, better as soon as we can. >> jimmy: so the beds are full now, and we potentially will have an uptick in covid cases in the coming months. so that's when things get especially crazy. >> yeah, you're right. >> jimmy: i didn't mean to bum you out. >> no. i think as soon as we start coming back indoors, i think you'll see aup tick. >> jimmy: right. >> i hope i'm wrong, though. >> jimmy: what inspired to you become an icu nurse? >> well, when i was 19, i got

diagnosed with cancer, leukemia. and, you know, you spend about, i spent about three years kind of combating this disease, you know, on and off, and it was really, it was the nurses that took care of me. and, you know, and i'll credit one, one in particular, one, one instance where i had relapsed three times at this point, and i had very little chance of survival. i was very sick. and they, my mom and my dad were talking to the health care team, and what should we do next? and, you know, it was kind of decided or up in the air, you know. should we send him home and let hip pass away? and i never forget, but it was the nurse that stepped in, and she said this is his third time, he can do this. you have to give him a chance, and she essentially helped my

mom and my dad at that time make a decision. and i remember thinking, if i ever get through this, i want to go back to nursing school and you want to go back into health care and do that. i want to be able to change someone's life like that lady changed mine. >> jimmy: which is a wonderful thing. you wound up getting a bone marrow transplant. and it's very difficult to find a donor, a bone marrow donor, because the matches are rare, right? >> i did, i had a bone marrow transplant in september of 2004. and that was essential is lay t the last ditch effort. i had failed chemotherapy multiple times. it came down to this one treatment, and you're right, it's very hard to find a match. whenever they came in and told me i essentially had two good matches, and they, the way they

explained it do me, i essentially hit the lottery, like a dna twin, hit the jackpot having two matches. >> jimmy: have you ever met your dna twin? >> i have not. i would love to thank her at some point in person. >> jimmy: well -- >> i don't know how i thank somebody. >> jimmy: i can't help you with the in-person part, at least not right now. but we did find your bone marrow donor, and her name is shannon, and here she is. she's from texas. [ applause ] >> shannon. >> hi! >> jimmy: shannon, this is jonathan, jonathan, this is shannon. >> >> it is wonderful to see you, and before, before i, i say anything, i just want, i pictured this in my head multiple times throughout the past 16 years, and how do you

thank somebody that saved your life because of essentially one, one selfless act. and i don't think you realize the impact you did with just that one instance, you know. you essentially kept a, kept a mother from losing her son. kept my siblings from losing their brother. and more importantly, i have two children now. very a 7 and a 4-year-old boy. and you're the reason that those two little boys are here. because if it wouldn't have been for you, i wouldn't have even had the opportunity. and i want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, even though i guess i partially am you now. >> jimmy: yeah. >> i just want to thank you for everything that you did. like i said, i don't think you realize the impact that you had. >> jimmy: shannon, tell jonathan

what you do for a living. >> well, i'm also a registered nurse. so i'm in the nursing field. i work in a very different capacity. i have not been in the acute care field in several years now, but i work with young women and pregnancies and kind of difficult circumstances. and work for a non-profit clinic, and we do some really beautiful work. and it is just such a pleasure to meet you. i am so glad to see your face. >> jimmy: shannon, i know the process is very difficult of donating bone marrow. how did you, why did you decide to become a donor? why did you even enter the database? >> well, it was kind of crazy. i was actually shopping at a mall in a town that i used to live in, and there was this mall kiosk set up with, back then i think it was called the national marrow donor program, and they were collecting blood samples to just enter your information into

a national database. and so even though i was already a nurse back at that time, i wasn't really familiar with the program, but learned more about it and gave a sample that day to be put on the registry and just prayed that one day i'd get a chance to do something like that. >> jimmy: wow. because of a trip to a wetzel's pretzels, you are alive today, jonathan. >> >> that is amazing. i'm thankful you need trmade tht today. jeep w >> jimmy: wow, how about that. we have two health care heroes. and our friends at bailey's are giving you each $10,000 so is you can treat yourselves after work.
