hope you have a great weekend. george clooney is on jimmy kimmel up >> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live"! tonight, george clooney. amanda seyfried. music from tones and i. and now, jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: well, hi. thank you. hello, i'm jimmy, i'm the host. thanks for watching me on television. wow, this is a big day today. today was the day that we found out how many times we listened to taylor swift on spotify this year. [ laughter ] i'd say, i don't know if i've been hacked or my kids are using my account or if i'm just losing my mind. my number one most listened to song of the year this year, i've never heard of it before, swear to god. i looked at the phone, what the hell is this? even now i don't remember what it is. [ laughter ] i do know who my number one artist of the year is, 36th year running, huey lewis and the news, that's right. [ cheers and applause ]

not a joke. that's what it was. so don't ever say i don't have my finger on the pulse. [ laughter ] the heart of rock 'n' roll is still beating right here. [ cheers and applause ] there was good news virus-wise. in the uk they're going to start giving people the vaccine, starting at the beginning of next week. so thanks to our guinea pig friends over there for doing that for us. [ laughter ] the trump administration revealed the order in which they will roll out the vaccine, who gets it first. many expected it would go to the workers on the front line, the health care professionals, but the list was a little different than anticipated. this is is order according to the cdc. first the vaccine will go to rich people. then white people. [ laughter ] strippers in south florida third. next that guy on the skateboard with the cranberry juice. [ laughter ] then kid rock. then the four original members of kiss. sean hannity, lou dobbs, mayor

mccheese, spray tan technicians, randy quaid, fox friends and their users, twitter users with profiles featuring eagles or flags -- [ laughter ] boat captains, those with pre-existing mullets -- then everybody else will get it. [ applause ] getting the vaccine to hundreds of millions of people is a massive undertaking. one of the big challenges is that some of them will need to be shipped, delivered and stored at subzero temperatures. a lot of doctors and drugstores don't have the refrigeration required to keep the vaccines cold enough. fortunately, i have a solution to this problem. and it is this. deliver the vaccine in ice cream trucks. it's winter. they're not using them anyway, right? [ laughter ] fill the ice cream trucks with vaccines. have them drive around the neighborhoods. you hear "pop goes the weasel," you run outside, roll up your sleeve, get in line, everyone

gets a chaco taco to reduce the swelling, problem solved. [ cheers and applause ] more good news, now available for the first time since 2012, the mcrib sandwich is back. 2012. the first thing mcrib said when it came back, hey, how's bill cosby doing? [ laughter ] mcrib, let me be the first to say, we don't know where you've been and we don't care, all that's important that is you're home. you think trump will take credit for the mcrib coming back? yeah. mcrib came back on my watch, and it cures the coronavirus! our president, for 49 more days, and his holiday-loving first lady, hosted a jolly christmas superspreader event at the white house where he told revelers, it's been an amazing four years. a sentiment shared only by white supremacists and those impersonating him on cameo. [ laughter ]

he told guests he's trying to do another four years, if not, he'll see us in 2024. he's basically cicada the president. this was some party. someone shot video to show their terrible friends, i guess. most everyone who wasn't working wasn't wearing a mask. they're indoors. chatting it up. eating, drinking. people were heard coughing loudly while trump was talking. even baby jesus spends christmas outdoors. [ laughter ] this is ridiculous. while some may question the optics of holiday partying it up in the middle of a pandemic, the soon to be former white house press secretary is not among them. >> the cdc today said the next few months could be among the worst public health months in american history. does the white house, is it setting a good example for the public for the white house to be holding in-person holiday parties at a time when the cdc and other organizations are asking americans to forgo those kinds of celebrations for their own safety? >> so, you know, if you can loot

businesses, burn down buildings, engage in protests, you can also go to a christmas party. >> jimmy: good one, kayleigh. [ laughter ] way to blame it on the black people again. meanwhile the vice poodle and mother wife unveiled their holiday decorations this year. they're not quite as elaborate as the decorations at the white house but more personal. stockings, ornaments, also a very slow zoom on a very creepy-looking santa. [ laughter ] lurking behind the tree. let's watch that again with a scary music soundtrack. ♪ you see the buckets, the balls, the berries. that thing. ♪ [ laughter ] >> jimmy: he sees you when you're sleeping, mother. [ applause ] all anyone at the white house wants for christmas this year is a pardon. trump is reportedly trying to decide whether or not to grant what he called -- what they call

preemptive pardons to three of his kids and his son-in-law, jared, for whatever crimes they may or may not have committed. usually presidents grant pardons after they've been vetted very carefully by the justice department. trump is shooting them out of a t-shirt cannon right now. [ laughter ] the most interesting character who's angling for clemency is the artist known as joe exotic. on year one of a 22-year-old prison sentence for trying to hire someone to kill his rival, carole baskin. he put this handwritten plea on his twitter account. he wrote, everyone please tweet president trump and ask him to sign my pardon and make halloween exotic again. show your love. love you all, make halloween exotic again. yeah. nothing gets me in the mood for trick-or-treat like setting a murderous zookeeper free. [ laughter ] it's unclear if trump even knows who joe exotic is. but he probably doesn't know who mike pence is either. and maybe, just maybe, the tiger king and the lion king could

team up to form a winning ticket in 2024. >> in 2020, president trump was handicapped by dead weight. it's time to spill the milk. in 2024, we need a vp more exotic. joe exotic. >> redneck with a mullet. >> a family man just like our president. with multiple marriages. a mastery of beasts. tough talk for the women who wronged him. >> crooked hillary. >> it's all part of carole baskin's plan. >> a man who believes in the second amendment. a businessman. >> political condoms. vote for me or you're screwed. >> with a love of his country as free as his hair. joe knows what it's like to need that next paycheck. >> i am never going to financially recover from this. >> to beat a sleepy joe, it takes a crazy joe. trump exotic 2024. grab america by the -- >> i'm donald trump and i approve this message.

whether that bitch carole baskin likes it or not. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: you know -- trump has a real opportunity here. he could pardon joe exotic, rudy giuliani, jared from subway, sugar knight, aunt becky, put them all in a house, and boom. "donald trump celebrity penitentiary" this summer on abc. [ cheers and applause ] now it's time for something fun and maybe illuminating too. from time to time we play a game where we pit elder against junior in a battle of the ages. this is one of those times. it's a special remote video chat edition of "generation gap." [ cheers and applause ] our first player is an octogenarian who loves frank sinatra and puzzle books. from destin, florida, say hello to bobbi wyndham. hi, bobbi.

[ laughter ] this game is called "generation gap" because there's a gap in your ages. i'm going to ask you each questions from your opponent's era, vaguely. if you get it right, you get points. if you get it wrong, the other person has a chance to steal and get points. you got it? all right.

it's easy, just answer the questions. let's play. the first question is for you, bobbi. name this famous baby. >> uh -- um -- i'm not sure. >> jimmy: you want to take a guess? >> i -- i've seen him on something. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: all right, bobbi, your time is up. asea? >> baby yoda? >> jimmy: baby yoda is correct. [ cheers and applause ] baby yoda! bobbi, have you ever seen any of the "star wars" movies? >> yeah. >> jimmy: oh. [ laughter ] all right, well yeah. that's yoda. that's the guy. all right? asea, this question is for you. name this famous baby. >> isn't that the baby with like -- whose face is on the formula? >> jimmy: well, you're close.

but you have to tell us which product. >> the milk product? >> jimmy: it is not correct. bobbi, you have a chance to steal. can you name that baby? >> is that the heinz baby? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: no. the heinz baby? like a ketchup baby? there's no ketchup baby. >> no. >> jimmy: bobbi, did you feed your children ketchup? [ laughter ] that's the gerber baby we were looking for. all right. all right, next question is for asea. what is this? what is this? >> that right there is a jukebox? >> jimmy: that is correct, yes. [ cheers and applause ] bobbi, what is this? >> i'm sorry, i have no earthly idea what that is. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: asea, do you know what

that is? >> no, for a second i didn't, but i'm pretty sure that is a new xbox, right? >> jimmy: it is an xbox, yes. [ applause ] bobbi, hang in there you can catch up, there's still time. >> i'm trying. >> jimmy: bobbi, the next question is for you. what show featured this group of loveable children? this is a netflix show. >> uh -- that's not "our gang," is it? >> jimmy: what's that? >> "our gang"? >> jimmy: that is not "our gang," no. but it's funny. asea, what show featured this group of adorable kids? >> "the little rascals"? >> jimmy: that is right. also our gang. bobbi, you're not winning. you're not winning the game. [ laughter ] >> sorry. >> jimmy: it's okay. all right. asea, what is the name of this character?

>> i'm getting very much pickle vibes. i'm going to say pickle boy. >> jimmy: it is not. [ laughter ] that is not pickle boy, no, no. that is not. bobbi, do you know the name of that character? >> uh -- i do, but i can't think of it. i give up. >> jimmy: he had a sidekick named pokey. [ laughter ] >> pokey? >> jimmy: well, no, his sidekick's named pokey. it's gumby, dammit, that's who we're looking for, gumby, gumby. that's okay. >> all right, okay. >> jimmy: bobbi, what is the name of this character? >> heavens, i have no earthly idea. weird looking. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: asea, do you know who that is?

>> i haven't seen the newest "toy story" movie, but sporky? >> jimmy: his name is forky, that is correct, he's a fork. see, bobbi what we've done now in the '20s, we just put a "y" at the end of things. it's forky. >> okay. >> jimmy: all right. one final question. this is for 50 points. all right? and it's from a special guest. let's bring in the special guest with the special question. [ cheers and applause ] there he is. go ahead, special -- by the way, whoever answers this first gets it right, okay? go ahead. >> bobbi, i want you to concentrate. [ laughter ] which actor was the best batman? >> jimmy: which actor was the best batman? >> you, but i can't think of your name! [ laughter ]

[ laughter ] >> jimmy: this explains why the children are eating. i assume you're aware of this. you've been in the news for an unusual reason. because you told a reporter that you flowbee your hair, give yourself haircuts. >> i do, and i've been doing it for years. >> jimmy: for how many years have you been doing this? >> well, you know, i've had it for 22 years. >> jimmy: did you order it off television? >> no, i got it off of -- yeah, i -- i think my assistant got it originally off of television. then it broke down. then you couldn't get them for a while. >> jimmy: people who have assistants shouldn't be flowbeeing their hair. [ laughter ] >> i got her to flowbee my hair. for me. i don't do it myself, my god. that's cheap. [ laughter ]

>> jimmy: i ordered a flowbee in march because i could see my hair was starting to get a little shaggy, i didn't know if i'd ever be able to get a haircut again. i wondered if they still had flowbees and i ordered one. weirdly, a lot of young people, i mention it, have no idea what i'm talking about. >> they don't have that pocket fisherman either. >> jimmy: right. >> remember that? >> jimmy: the pocket fisherman. >> bronco or -- yeah. >> jimmy: let's play that commercial so people get an idea of what it is. >> before the flowbee, only a skilled professional could produce a good layered haircut. tens of thousands have been sold to satisfied customers because it really works. >> proper suction is the key to getting great-looking haircuts with no cleanup. >> jimmy: interesting. that man, that actor, looked just a little bit like you. yeah, okay, all right. wow.

i don't know, it's an interesting film. it was a film about regret and about redemption, about all the sort of other elements that had very little to do with the idea of being in space, being out on the arctic. it's really about, you know, sort of coming to terms with what we're capable of doing to one another if we don't pay attention. >> jimmy: i thought it was so interesting that you finished this movie before covid was a thing. >> yeah. >> jimmy: yet it seems like you made the movie with that in mind. it's really weird. >> well, it's not -- it's nothing we're proud of, to be timely on this film, you know. there is a huge part of the story which is about our inability to communicate and to be home and to be with people you love and to talk to them and see them. so that's a -- it was one of the major themes in this is just being able to talk. yeah, we finished shooting in february. >> jimmy: wow. >> got on a plane, came back from london.

was my birthday. >> jimmy: oh, well that doesn't count at all. in fact, that's in the negative category, as far as i'm concerned. [ laughter ] >> thanks for being the first. i really appreciate it. >> jimmy: that's right. >> i really appreciate it. >> jimmy: do you have any plans? are you allowed to have plans right now? >> i have no plans. there's going to be dueling cakes. my sister-in-law is going to make a cake and my mom's going to make a cake and i'm going to eat them both. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: this is literally a dueling cake situation because they're making the same kind of cake? >> no. they're not. >> jimmy: okay, all right. because that would be cruel to pit them against each other in that way. >> i hope. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: this is something i've thought about doing. you did something very special for your husband on his birthday. >> yes. >> jimmy: tell us what you did. >> you want me to tell you? okay. so i have a friend named nash who is a filmmaker and has made some really great short films. anyway, he gave me the idea to dress up as a bear. dress up as a bear, hide in the

woods, and surprise someone you love, or someone you hate. [ laughter ] someone i love. so i sent my daughter and my husband, tommy, on a scavenger hunt through the woods with really thoughtful poems to send him to the next spot. and at the end was going to be me, you know, running away as the bear, and they think they see this elusive bear. you know, it was great. it worked. it totally worked. they believed it. >> jimmy: where did you get the bear costume? >> i got it on a website. >> jimmy: okay. >> it didn't come as it had -- you know, it -- it looked really great, realistic, on the website. it was just a piece of [ bleep ] when it came. [ laughter ] it still fit. and it still worked. from far away. if you look at it too closely, you know it's not real. >> jimmy: so you also did the courtesy of videotaping this. we have the video here now. here's your husband, your daughter, in the woods.

>> oh my god, just so cute. >> jimmy: yeah, very cute, they're both cute. he's drinking. >> here's the moment. >> jimmy: there's the bear. [ laughter ] >> i'm scratching my back. then i try to run away and it doesn't look -- he really thinks that's the bear. then he gets it. thank god he didn't, "a," have a gun on him. >> jimmy: yes, yeah. >> i will say when you live in the woods, it's -- a lot of people have it, he's very safe with it, it's locked away. i was also afraid that a bear would find me attractive, think i was a bear. >> jimmy: like a bugs bunny cartoon. >> there are risks that you take for funny, you know? that was my big risk. >> jimmy: so will he -- do you enjoy being scared? will he retaliate in any way? >> he threatens constantly.

but i -- i'm the person -- i am that person who will -- when you're going up the stairs together, i will run to the next room and hide behind the door, even though i was just with you, just to get that scare. >> jimmy: that thrill, yeah. >> it's been bad, it's bad. >> jimmy: yeah. can i make a recommendation? it's good to get one of those little cameras in your car, and then when people walk in front of your car, you can honk, then you get them on videotape. [ laughter ] >> yeah! you're right. i could just watch it over and over again. >> jimmy: yes, yes. >> [ bleep ]. >> jimmy: tell me about this movie "mank." there are several -- besides the movie itself being interesting, david fincher, the great director -- this is a movie that his late father wrote. and he brought to fruition. >> yeah. from what i know, i'm a huge david fincher fan, so i've seen his movies, i've seen almost all his movies.

i know he's very particular, i know he's very -- pays such attention to detail. his movies are really flawless, to me, just so realistic and weird at times and just awesome. and the fact that he was now like taking this script his late father wrote, you know, as passionate as he is about everything else, to be probably that much more passionate, i just knew this was going to be a masterpiece. how crazy is it walking into a movie where you just know it's going to be incredible? >> jimmy: that's a lot of pressure to put on david. you play a real person who's now deceased, but at one time was not. [ laughter ] an actor, marian davies. >> was alive for sure. >> jimmy: the movie is surrounding the making of another movie, "citizen kane." >> yes. only every classic movie had the backstory, the filming of the backstory. it's so fascinating. like of course, of course you

should -- anybody should make a movie, thank god it was david. yeah, marian davies. she's quite a catch. she was a real -- kind of a -- it seemed like a fairytale jumping into the shoes of marian davies, such a glamorous movie star from the '30s. >> jimmy: did you know that you are, according to the gold derby website, the favorite to win the oscar for best supporting actress right now? >> this week? >> jimmy: right now, yeah, today. >> great, listen, i'll take it. [ cheers and applause ] i'll take whatever i can get. i hope i -- it was really amazing. i did work hard on this, for sure. it is a great movie. i like my performance. but you never expect this kind of stuff to happen, so when it does, it's great. >> jimmy: will you commit to wearing the bear costume on the red carpet at the academy awards? [ laughter ] >> i would do worse. if i felt like i was allowed to. i don't want anything, you know,

to take away from anybody else. [ laughter ] but yes, if someone would have found me that realistic bear costume from nash's short, i would wear it on the red carpet. >> jimmy: that would be a nice, very sweet tribute to nash. thanks for being with us.
