>> we appreciate your time. right from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live," tonight, miley cyrus and tony romo, now, jimmy kimmel. >> jimmy: hello. i'm jimmy. i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. thank you for joining us. i hope you are healthy. i hope you had a good weekend. we are coming to you from hollywood, where a stay at home order is in effect. as of midnight last night, every parent in l.a. has been sentenced to three more weeks of "paw patrol." maybe they can save us! no one is safe from the clutches of covid. not even the architect of the donald trump legal team! we learned yesterday via presidential tweet that rudy giuliani has tested positive for the virus. how could this happen? he was being so careful! rudy may have given his life to

overturn the results of this election. this tells you all you need to know about what the president cares about. "@rudy giuliani, by far the greatest mayor in the history of nyc, and who has been working tirelessly exposing the most corrupt election -- by far! -- in the history of the usa, has tested positive for the china virus. get better soon rudy, we will carry on!!!" and this is what he said when his son got it. "my son donald is doing very well. thank you!" sadly, this covid test is the only positive thing to come out of rudy giuliani in four years. rudy is in the hospital but claims he is feeling good, recovering quickly, and feasting on the blood of newborn babies in the maternity ward. they had to shut down the arizona state legislature because rudy spent two days there chatting it up maskless with republican lawmakers. these geniuses even posed for a

picture with him. he's gone from america's mayor to "america's sprayer." you know, if someone made this story up, we'd say it was too much. this man has put up some incredible statistics over the past six weeks. october 23rd we see him on camera playing pocket pool with borat's daughter. november 7th he holds a press conference in an alley outside a landscaping business, across from a dildo shop. november 19th motor oil leaks out of his head. december 2nd he farts loudly during a pretend election hearing in michigan. and here we are on december 7th and count flatula has the coronavirus. have we ever seen a streak like this? i mean, this puts dimaggio's 56-game hitting streak to shame.

many of the people who came in contact with mr. giuliani are now forced to quarantine, including the woman who dyes his sideburns with hershey syrup. and, of course, i know you will join me in wishing rudy a full and speedy retirement. it will be interesting to see how this plays out. assuming rudy is getting the invite-only regeneron treatment the president got, he could come out of this bigger than ever. in fact, there's talk that cbs is in talks to make him tv's hottest new cantankerous defense attorney. >> jimmy: the big difference is matlock always won. so anyway, it looks like rudy >> jimmy: yeah.

the big difference is matlock always won. so anyway, it looks like rudy will be spending some time now doing the other kind of lying. the down kind. you know, there was so much attention on that dizzy blonde woman at the hearing in michigan last week, she got the full treatment on "saturday night live," we may have overlooked a star of a different type. her name is dana smith. she was also at a rudy hearing, this one in georgia, and this woman -- i don't know much about her other than the fact that she really knows how to spin a yarn! >> jimmy: as the late the rec center will been a '

'>> well, as the lalt johnny cochran said, if the machines are chilly, the votes don't count. silva iss s sy -- silly. she had a hot lot of interestin thing-s so say. >> that was a poll watcher taking cough orders on special paper. writing down coffee orders on this special ballot paper that prints the ballots. those precious ballots, she was taking a coffee order on it. >> well, that is it, election overturned. i mean, give it four more years. and then, even rudy started to squirm as the woman went on and on and on. look at the man trying tell her to wrap it up. >> just watching the ballots, i was not going to let them out of my sight. there was a gal named laurie and

a man that had copd. i flagged down the supervisor and said, hey, is somebody bringing the tag locks and she said -- >> wrap it up. >> yep, okay, so she said we don't need them. >> yeah, that's my time, you guys have been great. thanks a lot. >> what? had there's more. >> isn't it true that president trump won that county? >> i don't give a rip who won. what matters on to me is that the people's vote is more protected than their urine. the process is flawed when your urine is more protected than your vote. >> okay. on that note, let's take a bathroom break. she is terrific. i wonder if she has a podcast or something. but this is what trump is clinging to. testimony from crazy people droning on and on, and well-placed bullying. this weekend, trump called the governor of georgia, brian kemp and asked him to order a special segregation of the state legislature to overturn the

results of the election. kemp who has been a bigly supporter of the president said i'm sorry, i don't have the legal authority to do. so of course, trump lashed out viciously at him and even went to georgia to lash out viciously at him. i love the fact that the dummy, brian bowed to him, and he surrendered all that he could do the reality star bafoon and now trump goes to his state and calls him a stupid, worthless leader that should be removed. he went to the state to promote the run off, but that turned in to a presidential pity party almost right away. >> i want you to be quiet, they want you to go away. we don't go away. we don't go away. we will never surrender. we only win, we always win.

somehow, we find a way to win. we are all victims, everyone here, all the thousands of people here tonight. they are all victims, every one of you. >> every one of you not wearing a mask is a victim. what an inspiring message on pearl harbor day from our commander in chief, trump had a lot to say this weekend in georgia. so, we slowed him down to half speed for one of what will be the few remaining editions of drunk donald trump. ♪ cucumbers, who, who does cucumbers around here? because i like cucumbers, can you -- i'm the only one. i like cucumbers. ♪ >> jimmy: he likes cucumbers. the state of georgia re-certified their results today and guess what? joe biden won again. trump has yet to concede. he will never concede.

this is day 34 of squattergate. today he awarded the medal of which is a -- freedom to the great wrestling champion dan gable, and you're not going to believe this, but he somehow even made that about him. >> he won 117 consecutive matches, and lost only one. well, you know, in politics, i won two, so i'm 2-0. and that's pretty good too. but we will see how that turns out. >> jimmy: he'll be the only president to award himself the medal of freedom before he goes. trump is milking this for every drop. there are reports that he's even planning a big tv send-off for himself. one scenario being discussed is on january 20th, trump would fly to florida on air force one to hold a rally at the exact same time as biden's inauguration speech. i wonder if he realizes that, as of january 20th, he doesn't get to ride on air force one? it's not his plane.

the minute joe biden puts his hand on that bible, i hope they hand him a parachute and open the door. everyone in the trumperverse is making a run for the exit. there are reports that attorney general bill barr might quit before the end of the year. barr says he wants to spend more time organizing his drawer of armpit-stained undershirts. one guy that is not going is dr. anthony fauci. fauci said he has been contacted to stay on. and he would like to stay on as covid continues to hit new highs in the country. they say we can be in for a frightening christmas this year. a had lot of hospitals are on the verge of being overwhelmed and when families gather in doors, bad things happen. in addition to new warnings, the national institute of health is trying to keep safety at top of mind this season. elf on a shelf keeps kids on

their best behavior. there's a new set of guidelines in 2020 introducing fauci on a couchi, keeping covid in check. >> excuse me, don't go about outside without your mask. >> nothing escapes dr. fauci's watchful eye. >> hey! sneeze in to your elbow, we don't want flying droplets. >> you never know where he will pop up next. >> you only washed your hands for 14 seconds. sing the happy birthday song twice. happy birthday to you. sing it with me. ♪ happy birthday to you ♪ cha, cha, >> each one hand crafted and actual size. and once everyone is snug in bed, fauci on a couchi dispenses anti-bacterial mist to sanitize the house. don't let fauci catch you spreading misinformation. >> my daddy said the virus is a

which one of them was going to get a haircut for me. and so my mom offered, my bangs, my bangs were getting long and she said, i can cut your hair and i only know how on do one hairstyle. and i have been doing it since 1992 for your dad and your brothers and all my mom can is a mull het, so i had one options and i needed it. >> jimmy: we learned the history of the cyrus family mullet, was your dad flattered that you got a cut similar to had his? >> i think it is something genetically where it grows longer on the top than in the back. it's a natural shape our hair grows? >> jimmy: so in a way, you were born to have a mullet? >> yes, yes. >> jimmy: are you in l.a. right now? >> i am, i thought you were coming to me from your studio, so i'm joining you from mine. this is my music studio. >> jimmy: i like it.

have you seen your dad since it has been going on? >> i have not and my dad, actually had a birthday kind of in the beginning of this pandemic. this is the longest i have gone without seeing my dad. my dad went a year without eating pizza and he just, you know -- i think keeping, you know, purpose in this pandemic has been important to all of us. my dad thought he would try something he has never done, going a year without pizza and for his birthday, i made him one that was completely ridiculous. everything else i do. i try to keep it ridiculous. and i never actually got to deliver him his pizza. so now i'm stuck with it. >> jimmy: oh, and let's have a look at the pizza. it looked like a pretty good pizza. it's not really a pizza, is it? >> so my dad was a bit disappointed, but he said it was just a reflection on life because i got him a pizza after a year of not having one. but it was not real because my priorities was, being able to keep it, and you know, it could

be more of like something he could remember me by every time he walked by an over sized ridiculously baked pizza. so he could be disappointed and he probably was in my many years of the evolution of me. >> jimmy: so for his birthday, you decided to torture him. this is a man who likes pizza, why yes? >> yes. >> jimmy: and decided to cut it out. >> that's been our dad/daughter dynamic was to see how much i could disappoint my father. last time i was on your show, i wore no clothes. the pizza is going up in the game, it's a good thing. >> jimmy: yeah, my dad would be more disappointed if i were to wear no clothes than the fake pizza. but every family has their quirks. >> i bought my first sweater since i saw you last time. i thought i would wear it to show you how much i have grown. >> jimmy: that true, you never purchased a sweater before? >> i think no, my parents used

to buy me sweaters and when i was a kid, i used to strip down naked in public places and they thought i would outgrow it and i obviously didn't. my parents would buy me sweaters and everything that you would buy for a child and my favorite place to strip down was in church. >> jimmy: well, you may as well do it in front of the lord. >> yeah, exactly. i will get forgiven and do it there and keep it convenient. >> jimmy: i'm sure you know about this. but when joe abide inwon the election, you do agree that joe biden won the election, yes? >> yes, you i live on earth and yes i do. >> jimmy: when joe biden won the election, your song "party in the usa" issen e10 or 11 years it charted again. it kind of came back on its own. >> one thing that's become pretty amazing about "party in

the usa," it's become a song that represents victory. it's played at, when teams win baseball and all different sports, it ends up charting. this was a whole taking that, you know, that meaning and purpose. when you write a song or create a song like party in the usa, you never know what it will be ten years later. it was an honor that in some small way i could play a part in the celebration that took place after joe biden and kamala won this election. very proud to be a part of it. >> jimmy: have you been asked to perform at the inauguration? >> i haven't yet. but i have now, i had two versions of party in the usa actually, on deck. i have two versions ready. one that was melancholy, that was all on a reflection of a direction we could have gone. so i have the other that is optimistic and i would love to do that.

welcome, tony romo. >> hey, tony. how are you? >> doing good, jimmy. thanks for that audience. that was really a nice gesture. >> jimmy: yeah, we have like a tenth of the audience here, by the way, last time you were on the show, we were in austin, we had thousands of people in the audience. it was 2015. do you remember what happened after the show that night? >> i do remember, actually. you decided on to go ahead and sign every autograph for everybody, and i had to leave because you just didn't want to say goodbye to me. >> jimmy: no, that is not what happened. >> i'm sorry, i'm sorry. that is wrong. >> jimmy: we went to willie nelson's house after that show. we drove an hour and a half to willie nelson's house and when we got there, willie was sound is asleep. >> he is not exaggerating. what actually happened too, is he goes, hey, let's go to willie nelson's, we will have a great night. we are in austin. it's what you have to do here. it's a big time deal, this is

fun. it's going to be fantastic. i'm like great, let's drive around the corner and go to willie's house and we get in the car and it's like, okay, it's 97 minutes away. and i'm like, okay, this should be a great time. but at that point, it going to be midnight, should we continue to go? or just have a drink next door and jimmy, you know, as good a friend as you are with willie you decided we should go and it was an interesting night. >> jimmy: not only that, we were in the last row of a chevy suburban, the one where you maybe put two kids. we were jammed in there and when we got there, nobody was awake. they said -- we said, well, willie invited us. is so they went and woke willie up and willie came out. his braids were all -- up. and it was, it was -- yeah. well, anyway. >> by the way, by the way. we actually went there, you have to remember, it was not just hey let's go hang out with willie. there was a good shin dig going

on. it's going to be a fun party, get together for like friends and family. just a bunch of fun people. you are going to have a great time. i'm like, wow, jimmy is inviting me. this is cool and special and i get to see willie nelson. i'm so excited. guess what, we go 97 minutes. willie went to sleep. no one is here. the party ended two hours ago. do you guys want to hang out? i'm like, well, we drove 97 minutes maybe we should at least hang out for five minutes. is are we allowed to come through the gate. that was questionable too. >> jimmy: and then we were right back on the road again. 97 more minutes home. but, boy, wow, that seems like, i mow it was only five years ago, it seems like 30 years ago. you were playing for the cowboys and now you have become a big time broadcaster and i really, i want to say this, and i am not just tooting my own horn here. i feel like my

are partily responsible for your success. >> you are right. i decide today to make a change and you helped me. >> jimmy: before you signed to for cbs, and correct me if i have any of his wrong. we tame to your house, came to dallas for your retirement party and it was the daytime. we showed up way early for the party. we are either late or early. no in between. we showed up way early for the party and you and sal were talking and sal said, you know what would be a good way to practice is to play madden and all the elements are there. we could play madden and you could do the color commentary during the video game. and you said, that's a great idea, sal. so the two on you sat down and started playing madden, and i think you practiced for about three minutes. and then, you just started playing madden the whole time. and then we watched you play madden for like four hours. and a teenager was taunting you as i recall.

right? >> well, you know, it's online. there's a lot of competition involved. soy wish i could have really been more receptive to you and sal being next to me. you know, all of your stuff about what am i going to say tomorrow for funny stuff. and i'm like, there's nothing you can say that is funny because you are not funny and sal is like what are you doing here? i was like, there's a kid that is in the top 100 in the world and we have to play him snufrmt not playing yourself. i thought it was interesting that you picked ben roethlisberger as your player and then this kid was taunting you, not having any idea that he was playing the real tony romo. >> well, i'm not prejudice at all to who i play with or who i play against. at the end of the day it's about winning, i decided if i am going to try and win, i have to get rid of tony romo in this game. >> jimmy: and you got big ben in

there. but you were -- i have to do say, i was amazed at how well and quickly and i guess it's dumb, but how quickly you read all the defenses playing madden, and it made me realize that madden is really like, i mean, that's a, that's like a real game. right? >> it's a real game. i will say this. they have done a better job. in the last five years they have evolved it to where you could teach your high school kids by playing madden. i know that's crazy. our kids get video game time cut off at certain times. it ultimately teaches you. cover three, these are the concepts that beat cover 2, cover 3, man-to-man. and the game does a good job at that. that is what taught sal about football. he did not know anything. >> jimmy: that is how cousin sal learned about football. another one of your gifts and i think it's a hidden talent and i'm hoping that you can share is with the world. it's you do impressions and now, a lot on people do impressions, but these are not the typical voice impressions, you do

impressions of other quarterbacks. >> no, i don't. >> jimmy: oh. now, i seem to recall being in a restaurant with you at which time you did the stances of various quarterbacks. you know what i'm talking about? >> never, don't remember that at all. >> jimmy: that doesn't ring a bell at all? >> that's crazy. that's the first i heard of it. >> jimmy: did you forget it at willie's house? >> that was the night i forgot a lot of stuff. you are asking me to do something -- i are will go ahead and make it look okay. >> jimmy: do tomb brady. because these are fantastic. do a little tom brady. let's see -- >> i don't know, who do you want? >> jimmy: tom brady. tom brady. >> i don't know. all right, we will see, this is the best i got, i'm telling you, it's silly. >> jimmy: we will be the judge of that. we will be the judge of that. >> he gets a snap.

>> jimmy: okay. that's good. >> all right had. now peyton manning, ready? >> jimmy: do peyton, yeah. >> jimmy: that is great. >> all right, brett favre, brett fav favre, let's go back in time. >> jimmy: you are on a wow. that's, you know what? i think you have a show, i think this could, you could, you could be in vegas in the off-season. doing this stuff. think bit. >> i could be and then my wife would go ahead and say, go ahead and stay there. >> jimmy: tony, it's great to see you. i know you are doing the super

bowl, you think there will be a super bowl this year? will we have one? >> i do. i think the nfl has done a unbelievable job. the fact that they are at this point it's incredible. they have done things right. it will not be like you had with miley cyrus, other than that, it's second. >> jimmy: can we watch you open a box for like half an hour. tony romo. >> i can do it with my hands. >> jimmy: watch tony and jim nance and the super bowl february seventh. we be back with music from miley cyrus.
