i'm ama daetz. >> and i'm dan ashley. for kimmel live. tonight, natalie portman, and now, jimmy kimmel. >> jimmy: hello. i'm jimmy. i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. i hope you had a good weekend. i hope everyone had a nice time infecting their family and watching that chess show on netflix. guillermo, how was your thanksgiving? >> my thanksgiving was great, fantastic. >> jimmy: you didn't post anything on instagram. >> no, jimmy. >> jimmy: no drunken texts? >> no, i behaved. did you watch the parade? >> i was busy helping my wife cooking. every year on thanksgiving, what i'm most thankful for is that i don't work for nbc where they force you to be a part of the thanksgiving day parade.

it's, i mean, poor al roker. every year, "hey look, it's garfield." "oh, the teletubbies..." when i was a kid, my dad would wake us up. every thanksgiving, he'd come into our rooms. the only time i ever remember him coming into my room, he'd come in and say, "the parade is on!" and we'd be like, "who cares?" i hate parades. always have. to me, it's just traffic with balloons. but every year, my father would force us out of bed at like 6:30 in the morning to watch it. and so what did i do on thursday? i got the kids, i said "hey! the parade is on! you've gotta watch it!" they watched for about four minutes. they saw chase from "paw patrol" and said, "put on paw patrol!" so i watched it alone. macy's did the parade a little bit differently this year. because of covid, they couldn't have the usual amount of people under the floats. you know, people hold the ropes to the floats, but they couldn't assemble a group of people, so

they had to find one guy to do this. this troop of picachu, dancing to the classic pokemon song. and high above the dancer shines a bright spot in the sky. a larger version, a ambassador of the pokemon world, with his red cap -- >> jimmy: look at him pokemon go. they found him in the hudson river. it's sad. in case you haven't checked your email in the past 24 hours, you should know that today is "cyber monday." the only day of the year we use the word "cyber" anymore. did we really need cyber monday this year? i've been camped out in front of my laptop since march. speaking of buying stuff online, this is funny. one of our producers, erin irwin, there's erin dressed as boba fett. erin and her husband david have a five-year-old daughter named charlie. who, unbeknownst to them, ordered something on amazon, using their alexa.

erin, how did this play out? a giant box shows up at the house, and this is what was inside. >> i got home and she said, i bought something today. >> i said what are you talking about and i didn't think she did it. a giant box shows up at the house, and this is what was inside. a six-foot-stuffed rasta monkey with a banana for a body. and how much was this? >> well, she said that it cost 197, and i was like, well, i guess if she did it, it was only $1.97, it was $197. >> jimmy: they looked up the transcript of charlie's conversation with alexa. you gave this to us. this is what she said. "alexa, could you please order the banana toys?" which by the way, that could have been a lot

worse. >> that's true. "alexa, buy it now." "alexa, could you buy it now?" "alexa, buy it now." "alexa, when is my squishy pillow gonna be coming?" "alexa, when is my blush blush blush squishy pillow gonna come." "alexa, my name is charlie." "alexa, what do you wanna talk about?" "alexa, are there more boys or are there more girls in the world?" sounds to me like charlie wants you to have another kid. are you returning the rasta banana or keeping it? >> i would love to return it and i want it out of my house, but she is madly in love with it. >> jimmy: it looks like they're on their honeymoon. charlie is a genius. she figured out how to cut santa claus out of the loop. she doesn't have to be be nice this year. did charlie order the tyson fight on pay per view this weekend too? >> i think so, yeah. >> jimmy: did you watch it, guillermo? >> i did. >> jimmy: on saturday night,

mike tyson, after 15 years, returned to the ring to fight fellow retiree roy jones jr. the fight went eight rounds. the judges called it a draw. it was not a draw, not even close. tyson won every round. >> every round, jimmy. >> jimmy: but they called it a draw, and mike pot before the fight didn't seem to mind at all. >> former champions, it's a draw. mr. tyson, what do you think of that? >> i'm good with that. >> you think you won the fight? >> yeah, but i'm good with a draw. >> why? >> because i entertained the crowd, the proud was happy with it. >> jimmy: who is this person disguised as mike tyson? what happened to the guy who said he'd eat your children? and bit off two ears! i guess this marijuana really works. even half-baked, tyson looked pretty good. roy jones was hanging on to him for dear life. it felt less like a fight, and more like two old friends seeing each other shortly after getting the vaccine.

they are just like hanging on each other. even though jones has only been retired for a couple of years, tyson was the heavy favorite. some even worried jones might get seriously hurt. >> a lot of people were afraid, roy, you might get hurt tonight. were you really afraid in the back of your head that something could happen that could put you in peril. >> i was afraid i may get hit. >> i didn't fight for 20 years and he has not fought in three years. why nobody care about my ass. >> >> jimmy: well. let me say it here and now. i care deeply about mike tyson's ass. still the best. nobody better. yesterday, the denver broncos had to play without a quarterback. all four of their qbs were on the covid no-play list. because they were all together with no masks. what happened was, they got together for what was supposed to be a quick, socially distanced strategy session, then someone turned on "the crown." next thing you know, it's 12 hours and three boxes of pink zinfandel later. they're all ineligible to play.

they had to bring in a rookie receiver to play quarterback. it was like a scene from "rudy." except in this one, rudy's team lost. badly. and rudy was terrible. this was the first time they asked "are you ready for some football?" and the answer was "maybe not?" i don't think we are. you know who else is on the injured reserve list? joe biden. the president-elect took a tumble this weekend. here he is hobbling out of a delaware clinic last night. biden suffered hairline fractures in his right foot. even the eventful things that happen to joe biden are uneventful. apparently, he slipped and fell while playing with major, his dog. the pentagon today announced that major has been demoted to "captain." biden will most likely have to wear an orthopedic boot for a few weeks. so in a way, trump and biden both got the boot this month. bloatus weighed in on biden's injury last night. he wrote, "get well soon!" he's just jealous because biden

has a dog and all he has is mike pence. can you imagine trump having a dog? i can't picture him feeding anyone else. the closest trump gets to that is when he feeds giuliani a bucket of frozen mice. meanwhile, this is how the lame duck chose to spend his final thanksgiving at the white house. he threw a world-class trumper tantrum from behind a tiny little desk. don't you dare speak to me the -- if they do. they made a mistake. because this election was a fraud. just say you understand. this election was a fraud. so, no, i can't say that at all. i think it's a possibility, they are trying to -- look, between you people, don't talk to me that way. you just are a light weight, don't talk to me that way. i'm the president of the united states. don't ever talk to the president that way. don't you dare speak to me the way i speak to everyone else!

sitting at a little baby desk screaming, "you can't talk to the president that way!" is exactly how i want to remember this president. this desk he was sitting at has been used by many presidents to sign bills, but usually they're surrounded by a group of people, so you don't notice how little it is. it looked like he went back to visit his elementary school. the last time i was at a desk like that, i had my head down and we were playing 7-up. small hands on desk! the future former president was also asked about his plan for his last turkey day in the white house, and that went about as well as you might expect. >> mr. president, do you have plans for your last thanksgiving in the white house? >> we don't know what is last, if you look at what's going on. you have to really take a look at what's going on. and they are finding tremendous discrepancies in the votes and nobody believes those numbers. those numbers are incorrect numbers. so, i can't say what's first and what's last in terms of is this the last 1 or is this the first

one of a second term. we will see what happens. i'll tell you what happens. next thanksgiving, you will be at mar-a-lago still screaming about the election and eating creamed spinach alone. we are now on day 27 of squattergate. trump still has not made a concession speech, he continues to dispute the results of the election. last night, he wrote, "no way we lost this election." we might to have to file a restraining order against him. trump gave his first post-election interview yesterday. he called into the always-sycophantic maria bartiromo's show yesterday to make a cornucopia of unchallenged false claims. i was called by the biggest people saying congratulations, political people. congratulations, sir, you just won the election. it was 10:00 and you looked at the numbers and i'm sure you felt that way. this election was over and then they did dumps. they call them dumps. big massive dumps in michigan, and in pennsylvania, and all

over. >> jimmy: when you get to his age, a lot of the conversation is about the size of your dumps. maria bartiromo by the way -- i don't know what happened to her, but she appears to be auditioning for the position of donald trump's next wife. this is interesting. according to nbc news, trump underperformed in 25 out of the 30 counties where he held rallies before the election. he did worse in those counties than he did in 2016. i guess telling a group of people who are freezing their nuts off that your opponent will take away their air conditioning didn't rally the base like he hoped. the state of arizona certified a win for joe biden today. they also finished the recount in wisconsin. the recount in wisconsin cost the trump campaign three million dollars, and the result of that recount was biden picked up 87 more votes. money well spent. no sitting president has ever lost one election so many times. but trump could be coming back for more.

not only is he reportedly planning to run again in 2024, he is floating the idea of launching his campaign during joe biden's inauguration week. because of course he is. i think he should do it at biden's inauguration. run up, grab the mic, and complete his transformation into full orange kanye. melania trump today unveiled the annual white house christmas decorations. she wrote, "during this special time of the year, i am delighted to share "america the beautiful" and pay tribute to the majesty of our great nation. together, we celebrate this land we are all proud to call home." which is odd because one of the stories that got buried when trump's tax returns came out were the tapes of melania saying she hates doing christmas at the white house. but now, she loves it. this is a video the first lady put out today, putting her be best foot forward.

. ♪ ♪ >> jimmy: at least she's having fun with it. make no mistake about it. melania trump is not enthused about being in charge of christmas at the white house. in the war on christmas, she is general lee. but there's an old trump family saying that goes nothing we say is true, so we might as well find a way to make money off it. christmas is coming. the sleigh bells are ringing and the first lady hates every bit of it. now you can experience the angst and fury of a white house christmas, with a new holiday album, with the melania trump -- all the hits on one disk. with classics like -- the halls.

we have an incredible ownership group of incredible athletes like serena williams and billie jean king and lyndsay vaughn and 14 former u.s. national team players. and then a bunch of actresses came together so, jess chestain, and we have got a whole incredible group. i'm sure i'm leaving people out and a group of tech and business women came together to start this first professional women's soccer team in los angeles in a while. so we are starting -- [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: that seems like, that seems like it would be a lot of fun. did you play soccer as a kid? >> i am so not athletic. and i admire it so. all my friends from growing up were kind of laughing at me that i have anything to do with professional sports. but i just think it's such an

incredible like talent that these women have, and wanted to celebrate their great achievement, and amplify what they are doing, because we have an incredible women's soccer league in the country, and unfortunately they don't get the kind of journalistic coverage and kind of media coverage that they deserve, except when it's the world cup, and so, we have got to watch them when they are playing their home games to and support them when they are not just on the international stage. >> jimmy: when you were a kid, you were not enrolled the -- you were not playing on on a youth soccerer team. we have a photograph that i wanted to run by you. that's you at what age? >> i, 7, i would guess. that looks like 7 or 8. no, it was 1990, i was born in 1981. so i'm nine there. >> jimmy: and the puppies were hit with radiation to make them that size? >> or make i was shunken to be

>> jimmy: i can't believe you the not reach out to your contacts, did you try? >> i tried enough. >> jimmy: you tried enough. what the did you have? >> creamed barbecue, i picked it up from parks here in l.a. it was great. >> jimmy: as i was sitting down and eating my turkey on thanksgiving, i was saying, i wish i had korean barbecue right now. >> it was weird, it was different for me to have korean barbecue with what i call the white people sides. >> jimmy: you did have all the sides. >> yeah. >> jimmy: at your house growing up with your parents being immigrants, did you celebrate thanksgiving with the turkey? >> thanksgiving was the day that my brothers and sisters looked forward to the most. it was the one day we knew we were getting american food. growing up as we were more aware of what korean food was here in this country, it was not beloved back then. >>. >> jimmy: right, yeah. >> so we were embarrassed by it.

there was not a guarantee that my mom would make american food. it's the one day we knew we would get mashed potatoes and stuffing and all sides. so that was the best day. because we also got the best of korean food. >> jimmy: right, yeah. yeah. that's how it was at my house too. no, i'm not kidding. i don't mean korean, i mean it was always italian food. like, always. there was rarely any food other than that in our house. and i think mostly it's because italian food is cheap. because pasta does not cost anything. >> you still had turkey and everything, right. >> jimmy: on thanksgiving, it was never good. not close to good. it was not something we craved. all right, so let's talk about who wants to be a millionaire. how confident did you feel going in to this? >> truthfully, my entire goal was to not be eliminated after the first question. >> jimmy: okay. now, the first questions are pretty easy. you almost got tripped up on a very easy question. >> yes.

>> jimmy: what was that? >> it was, if a toddler eats all of their food what club do they belong to. >> jimmy: right, yes. >> my initial reaction when you read the question was i don't know the answer because i mean it was the clean plate club and sitting in that chair, verse watching it from tv are completely two different experiences. >> jimmy: absolutely. >> and if i'm watching at home, i'm like, of course, it's clean plate club. in the chair, with the music talking to you i had no idea what the answer was. so i had to ask my guest. >> jimmy: allen yang was your expert helper and he was good. he knew clean plate club. everyone except you knew that. >> everybody. >> jimmy: but, you knew a lot of the answers that a lot of people didn't know. now, let's go to the moment. this is for a million dollars. your metallic testicles just won you a million dollars.

>> oh, man. oh, god! >> jimmy: now, had ththat was, was an exciting moment. it was a shame we didn't have an audience to share it. but it was exciting. not only did you make history by being the first celebrity to go for it and win a million dollars, you also were the first celebrity to do it with your fly unzipped. >> oh! >> jimmy: yes. >> thank you. oh, my wife is going to be so thrilled with me. >> jimmy: your life line, your phone a friend, came through for you. >> she saved me. >> i can't believe she knew the answer to the question. she did know the answer to the

question. >> i had no idea who benjamin harris was. >> jimmy: that was the craziest part of it. i watched it last night and obviously i was there the first time, and i saw the edit of it at another time. and last night i watched it, i was like, he is crazy. at one point, you don't know if harrison was the president. and this question is which president hadleckelectri electre white house first. you risk ready $468,000. >> i'm an insane person. i watched that and i was like, what is wrong with me? i literally was like, i'm going to choose harrison because i don't know if he is a president. that was my rationale, and obviously nina, telling me, but still, when you are in the chair, you are wrestling with yourself. i had no idea. >> jimmy: yeah. i knew you were a gambler because you were one of the few people that can keep up with my cousin sal in las vegas.

>> i have gone gambling with sal. >> jimmy: and which of you is more afflicted would you say? >> on the sports betting it's definitely sal. >> jimmy: okay. >> on the table games, i have a problem. >> jimmy: you have a problem. >> yes. >> jimmy: is it a real problem or is it fun problem? >> let's say covid is good because i can't gamble right now. >> jimmy: how many restaurants in vegas? >> two. >> jimmy: two now, one at the coskos -- cosmopolitan. >> and one at the venitian. >> jimmy: the charity you won money for is chris sheppard's charity, and he ththey support ? >> anybody who would shes in restaurants that is experiencing financial problems.

>> jimmy: it has hit anybody in the country. people are not getting stimulus checks. they are not eating out as. it been a double whamy and i'm glad you won the million dollars, that would have been a tough one. >> whoa, i think about it a lot. and again, in that moment, when i decided to go for it, i'm talking to you like this. i don't know if i verbalized it, i was like, even if i answer it incorrectly which would totally suck i would put a spotlight on the industry through my embarrassment. >> jimmy: interesting, that's a way to spin your problem. david chang has who podcasts now on the ring er. you have dave chang show and what's the new one that you are doing? >> we have the recipe club. >> jimmy: the recipe club. >> where we take popular recipes and see if they work or don't. >> jimmy: and on top of that, you have a memoire called "eat a peach. don't try to cash the check.
