tim allen on jimmy kimmel. >> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live." tonight, tim allen. stacey abrams. and stmusic from ari lennox. and now, jimmy kimmel! >> jimmy: i'm jimmy, i'm the host. thank you for watching. thanks, everybody. here we are again. me here, you at home, guillermo on a stool. how you doing with this shopping, guillermo? you finished your christmas hopping? >> guillermo: no, i just bought one christmas present. >> jimmy: for who? >> guillermo: my son. >> jimmy: that's it? anything for your wife this. >> guillermo: no, not yet. >> jimmy: you know what would be nice to get your wife for christmas this year? >> guillermo: a chill pill. [ laughter and applause ] >> jimmy: i was going to say, napkin rings. but yeah, all right. [ laughter ] by the way, last night our

daughter, jane, who is 6 years old, was misbehaving so my wife, molly, sent her to her room r. after a few minutes my wife went up the stairs to check on her. she overhears jane talking to her elf on the shelf saying, "i know what you're thinking, elf, you think i'm a bad kid, but i'm not, my mom's the bad one." [ laughter ] "you've got to believe me, you're my only hope." [ laughter ] "help me, elfie one kenelfi." donald trump knows what he's getting his loved ones for christmas, assuming he's capable of love. according to axios, he's been talking about handing out pardons as if they were christmas gifts at the christmas. he reportedly told one insider he's going to pardon every person who ever talked to me. [ laughter ] sorry, melania, i guess you're out of luck. trump is said to be keeping a pardon list, and has been telling people he might add them to it. this is funny.

one source says trump offended a member of his staff by offering that person a pardon even though the person didn't commit any crimes. [ laughter ] i don't know, i assumed since you were here, working for me. fine, no pardon for you, then. the big question is will trump be allowed to pardon himself? he must think so because he's still trying to put the squeeze on state officials. yesterday we learned he dialed the republican speaker of the house in pennsylvania, not once, but twice, over the past week, to ask him to reverse the results of the election. this is where we are as a country right now. our president is cold calling state representatives, asking them to throw the election his way, like it's a beauty pageant or something. over the weekend, a group of armed so "stop the steal" protesters gathered around the house of the michigan secretary of state and last night the republican party in arizona tweeted a clip of rambo, asking people if they're willing to die for this fight. so the peaceful transfer of power going really well so far.

[ laughter and applause ] today what is they call v-day in the uk. the vaccine is out there, and the first to get the shot was a 90-year-old woman named margaret keenan. you think they'd have given it to the queen first, but i guess no, they wanted to try it out on someone who isn't the queen. and margaret, god bless her, didn't seem the slightest bit nervous about it at all. >> you're the first to receive this vaccine. how does that feel? >> i'm so very thankful to have this opportunity. this is going to be on the telly. >> yes, ma'am. >> then i'd like to say to my son, geoffrey, piss off, i'm still not coming over for christmas, you bloody cock-up. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: well, that's unfortunate. margaret keenan is now -- she's an overnight sensation all over the world. it's like she got the golden ticket. she got a cheery send-off from the staff at the hospital where she got the shot. on the way home from the

hospital, they dropped her off at picadilly circus. [ laughter ] where a large crowd gathered to watch her bust it to some curtis blow. so she's doing well. turns out the vaccine is just a very high-grade cocaine. [ laughter ] [ applause ] the second person to receive the vaccine, and before i show this, this is real. we didn't mess with this or make it up. vaccine recipient number two is perhaps the most famous person in the history of england. >> the second person to receive the jab this morning was 81-year-old william shakespeare. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: was his blood type "be" or not "be"? thank you. wimbledon back to life, bill. maybe we'll finally get a sequel to "macbeth." we learned from "the new york times" over the summer the trump administration refused an offer from fees tore preorder additional doses of the vaccine, so those additional doses, which committee could have used, are

now set to go to other countries. oops. so today to cover himself trump signed an executive order that seems to have confused even the guy he has running "operation warp speed." >> can you explain this executive order the president's going to be putting out? i don't quite understand it. he's saying foreign countries aren't going to be able to get the vaccine until everybody in the united states gets it? it sounds like the problem is the opposite, pfizer has made deals with other countries that are going to limit the supply here. >> frankly, i don't know. and frankly, i'm staying out of this. i can't comment. >> you don't know? >> i don't know. >> but you're the chief science adviser for "operation warp speed." [ laughter ] >> our work is rolling, we have plans. we feel we can deliver the vaccines as needed. so i don't know exactly what this order is about. >> jimmy: well, at least he was honest, i guess. [ laughter ] well, that's reassuring. 43 more days, everybody. as you know, rudy giuliani tested positive over the weekend, and today we learned that trump's other lawyer, jenna

ellis, seen here seated virus adjacent, has covid too. did she get it from mayor tootty? we'll never know, i guess. ellis was spotted at the white house staff christmas party on friday. there she is, no mask, no brain. [ laughter ] senior trump officials are said to be upset that she was at the party. well, why were they at the party? why did you have a party in the first place? but of course, this jenna ellis just a few months ago, she tweeted, there is no pandemic. so i'm starting to think the virus may have a sense of humor about all this. [ laughter ] this is the other thing spreading around. you heard about the monolith? the monoliths popping up all over the world. on november 18th, a metal what they call monolith, it's really just a tall rectangular thing was found out in the middle of the utah desert. no one knows why it was there or how it got there. but around that same time, another monolith appeared on a hillside in romania.

then on wednesday, they discovered another metal structure on pine mountain not far from us in san luis obispo. since then, monoliths have been popping up in colombia, the netherlands, the uk, las vegas. multiple places in colorado. there are more monoliths than starbucks right now. [ laughter ] and of course, like everyone else, i've been wondering what's going on? so we reached out to the publicist for this monolith, and here now to explain it is the monolith him or herself. hello, monolith. [ cheers and applause ] >> hey! jimmy! good to see you, my man! working hard or hardly working? >> jimmy: well, some of both, i guess, really. good to see you too. >> nice, nice. >> jimmy: i guess my first question for you, monolith, is what are you? >> well, that's the million-dollar question, right? >> jimmy: right. >> you know, like -- like who wants to be a millionaire? i have been watching, jimmy, you are killing it. >> jimmy: oh, well thank you. irappreciate that. again, i'm interested in you and what's going on with you.

>> look. i'm -- a mystery. am i the thing from 2001:a spaced ondy"? maybe. am i some kind of viral marketing stud to sell ihop's new pancakes? maybe. or am i a work of art that makes you think about something besides yourself for a minute? >> jimmy: well, which of those things are you? cur [ laughter ] >> none of them! i'm an omen for telling the end of humanity. and i'm on a world tour! >> jimmy: hold on, i want to go back for one second, what was that that you said about the end of humanity? >> oh, you guys have about two lunar cycles left, tops. while you were all locked inside, i'm out on the road, loki, seeing the sights. >> jimmy: what sights exactly are you seeing? >> oh, check my insta. >> jimmy: uh-huh. >> i popped over to amsterdam to see what all the kush was about, if you know what i'm saying.

>> jimmy: yes. yes, i do. uh-huh. okay. >> yeah. weed. >> jimmy: yes, weed, i would have guessed that, yes. >> then i swung by peru. you know, to see what this model i've been dm'ing -- and while i was down there, i stood perfectly stool among the ruins at machu picchu and dripped blood or whatever. >> jimmy: see, that scares me, monolith. >> ha. it scared a lot of people, jimmy. kylie jenner gave it a like. >> jimmy: kylie jenner? wait, are you doing this for likes? >> no. no, i'm not doing this for likes. i'm doing it for corporate tie-ins. i am here for a limited time, and the mcrib is too. >> jimmy: i see, all right. [ laughter ] well, good luck with your travels, monolith. >> good luck with your travels, bitch. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: okay, thank you. that's the monolith. thank you, monolith. >> see you in the fires of hell,

jimmy. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: all right. did you understand what was going on there? that was the monolith. >> guillermo: yeah, exactly. >> jimmy: cost us like $30,000. >> guillermo: oh my god, why so expensive? >> jimmy: i don't know. back to the donolith. we are on day 35 of squattergate. donald trump has yet to concede but it seems like he's finally starting to come around. >> why not include members of the biden transition team as part of this summit you're hosting today? >> we're going to have to see who the next administration is. because we won. in the swing states. and there was terrible things that went on. so we're going to have to see who the next administration is. >> jimmy: oh, wait, he's nowhere near coming around. [ laughter ] in fact, he's about a week away from claiming joe biden was born in kenya. but donald trump is, believe it or not, a sensitive man. that's why he can't come to terms with losing. i don't know why he's like this. maybe his parents didn't show him love, maybe he was raised by a housekeeper who put him in the hamper when he cried, i don't

know. but it's the holidays, so i decided it would be a good thing to say hello, let him know in person there is someone who cares. >> donald, who is it? >> it's carol segers. >> who is this carol singer? one of your hookers? >> no. carol singers. they come to your door and sing about the baby mess sigh yeah. >> who gives a [ bleep ]? christmas talk. ♪ all is calm all is bright ♪ round yon virgin mother and child ♪ ♪

with mike baxter from "last man standing." meeting in some kind of marvel cinematic universe type of situation. >> they called the episode "dual time." >> jimmy: dual time, that's good. >> it was pitched to me, a standalone episode, the two guys meet. then it gets into this weird world -- the only other character i've done this with is buzz lightyear. sometimes i say, buzz wouldn't say that. inevitably people are telling me how to grunt. the writers are going, curious grunt! they write it. they say, that's a curious grunt? i got so into it, tim taylor, number one, i'm not sure he translates to mike baxter. it was very difficult to be the two guys. because i did most of the scenes, obviously -- did one side, did the other side. what's tim taylor like nowadays? i got way into this.

>> jimmy: his hair's white. [ laughter ] >> that's one of the better jokes in there. taylor goes, we look just like each other, except i don't color my hair. [ laughter ] it was really clever. it's a standalone episode. i appreciate so much that these writers came up with it. >> jimmy: it's fun, yeah. >> it was real fun to bring tim taylor to -- it's standalone, has nothing to do with the regular episodes. >> jimmy: you're doing another show for history channel with richard carn. the idea of the show is a great idea. correct me if i have this wrong. people, workers, builders, et cetera, fix things. >> i've always been fascinated by my crew on both shows where i bring stuff from home. this toaster. i don't want to get a toaster, what's wrong with this toaster? it's always amazed me. it's always a little thing. i love people, men and women that take stuff apart instead of throwing stuff out. they can make it better, even. let's get a show where we celebrate the women and men,

people that solve problems. unlike in politics and everything else. i'm talking about the people -- give me the details again, let me go fix it, or at least try to fix it. then we found -- it was supposed to be done in a wig studio where we set up. instead we had to go to their homes because it was covid. it turned out to be even more interesting, to me. the big side of it was, i'm out of my mind because it's kind of a reality show. so there's no end to it. >> jimmy: right. >> you're in a thing, pretty son i'm out of my mind, i'm sweating. the director's going, you've never been in this situation. i go, when does it stop? [ laughter ] he goes, you've got to watch 90-minute builds. when do we go to the bathroom? when do i eat? >> jimmy: where's the snack table? >> carn was great and he would call me down. we're acting like real people, that's what it felt like. we're supposed to be hosting this. it turned out so dramatic. you get people that really can fix stuff. and me, i wanted to go at one

point -- maybe we will in the future. we've shot 10 episodes. it's amazing what the men and women we found, all over the country, that can do stuff. amazing stuff. and they don't say no. they go, "let me figure it out." i wanted to throw -- because i'm so disheartened by the homeless in los angeles. >> jimmy: yes. >> i've worked at the midnight mission downtown. anything i can do, and nobody knows what to do. i wondered if you took people that build stuff what would you do, how would you at least chip away at this instead of throw money at it or talk about it? you know what it is here and it's very difficult. >> jimmy: it as very, very complex subject, yes. >> yes. what if a person that was a -- let me just fix -- instead of talking about it, they just dug in. just give them all tents with phones in them or anything, just one idea to move it forward and have facilities, or i want to help you out, give me some ideas what i can do with it rather than just chat about it.

skin infestations or pre-existing cancers to worsen. do not use in breeding, pregnant, or lactating dogs. most common side effects are vomiting and diarrhea. feeling better? i'm speechless. thanks for the apoquel. aw...that's what friends are for. ask your veterinarian for apoquel next to you, apoquel is a dog's best friend. charmin ultra soft is so soft much are you hon? you'll have to remind your family they can use less. charmin ultra soft is twice as absorbent so you can use less. enjoy the go with charmin. walmart makes it easy with groceries, gadgets, and soo much icing. let's end the year deliciously. ♪

[ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: welcome back. ari lennox is on the way. a couple of moments ago the at stroke of midnight our next guest turned another year older. all she wants for her birthday

is two seats in the u.s. senate. the georgia runoff is on january 5th. please welcome stacey abrams. [ cheers and applause ] hi, how are you? >> i am well, thank you. i love your idea for a birthday present. >> jimmy: happy birthday to you by the way, stacey. >> thank you, thank you very much. >> jimmy: am i the first or have you been wished a happy birthday already? >> you are the first to do it as of the stroke of midnight, yes. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: very exciting. may i ask how old you are on this birthday? >> i am now 47 years old. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: can you demand ary count for something like this? [ laughter ] >> given the evidence that's piled up over the last 46 years, i think i would have a similar losing streak to donald trump. [ laughter and applause ] >> jimmy: it's tough having a birthday in december. you have to compete with jesus and santa claus and everybody. >> and sister. my sister's birthday was sunday. i got her first but hers is days

before me. >> jimmy: wish her a happy birthday too. how many times do you think president trump has to lose georgia before he concedes? we're up to three already. [ laughter ] >> i'm offering a fourth. [ applause ] >> jimmy: i'm sure you're aware of this, but republicans seem to be somewhat obsessed with you. take a look at this video. >> let me say you know thing, governor kemp is no different than stacey an rams. she did this consent decree. >> republicans simply have to turn out more votes than stacey abrams can steal. >> for whatever reason, your secretary of state and your governor are afraid of stacey abrams. they're afraid of her. >> jimmy: now, why -- do you agree that they are afraid of you? >> i don't try to plumb the depths of their minds. [ laughter and applause ] >> jimmy: because you seem to be very nice.

i don't know why they would be afraid. >> i'm -- i want one thing. that is for every eligible voter to be able to cast their ballot, for that ballot to get counted. apparently they don't want everyone to be counted, they don't want everyone to vote. we just disagree. and i would say that the rest of america agrees with me. so yay. >> jimmy: yes, yes. [ cheers and applause ] i think probably almost all of america agrees with that principle, but they are getting many confusing messages. are you surprised that governor kemp has not kind of capitulated to the president's demands? >> this isn't about heroism or strength. this is about the law. a number of lawsuits have been filed that have forced the hand of the secretary of state and the constitution precludes the governor's intervention. we know that voter suppression is real. in fact action we were able to prove it in a court. i wrote a book about it, "our time is now." i did a film about it, "all in, the fight for democracy."

we've got evidence, they have none. and the problem is, you have a hard time winning an argument when you have absolutely no proof that something happened. but i don't give them credit for heroism, i give them credit for being afraid of the law. >> jimmy: yeah. [ applause ] and really for the principles on which this country was founded, that we each have a vote and we have a democracy. who would have ever guessed that would be challenged in any way? now we have the runoff election that is on january 5th. it comes down to these two seats that would tip the balance of the u.s. senate. and there you are. and again, you are just trying to make sure that people are able to vote and that everything is done fairly. was the first election done fairly? >> yes, it was. we haven't defeated voter suppression, let's be clear. it still exists. in fact, republicans here in georgia are already discussing

how they can reintroduce it coming in january when the legislative session starts again. but for now, we've been able to make it easier for eligible voters to cast their ballots. and nearly 5 million of them did. and biden won. but more importantly, they forced a runoff, and i believe warn november will also win because when people have a choice between two existing senators who plundered and profited during this pandemic, and two who have done nothing but serve the people, i think the people of georgia will make the right choice. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: obviously this was an exhausting campaign. and we're really -- really pulled out all the stops to get people to vote. do you think that people are fired up in georgia, that they are ready to do this, that they want to cast their votes? >> we had a wonderful statistic that came out today of the more than 1 million absentee ballots that have already been requested. 70,000 are from people who didn't vote in november.

and they are disproportionately young and disproportionately people of color. these are the folks who are the least likely to turn out, and they understand what's at stake and they need to show up and fair fight is there with them to make sure their votes get counted. >> jimmy: i guess this is one of the good -- the silver lining to all of the craziness that has gone on is that young people are getting out and voting in numbers that they haven't before. you're having a tv show cast reunion you're a part of for the show "supernatural," which was on with the cw? wb? was that a cw show? >> it was both. 15 seasons. they crossed over. >> jimmy: and is this a show that you love? why are you involved in "supernatural"? >> i started watching "supernatural" during my primary in 2017, became hooked. i've now binge watched every single season. i'm three episodes away from the end, please don't spoil anything. [ laughter ] it is the most fantastic show and i love it.

>> jimmy: will you have watched the finale by the time the cast reunion happens? >> i will not. but i will plug my ears and hum to myself if they start saying anything i don't want to know yet. >> jimmy: you can't cram three episodes in between now and then? >> well, i'm talking to you, i've got a birthday to celebrate, i've got two senate seats to win. it's been a busy week. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: i understand. were they confused when you called them and said you want e this? >> actually, they reached out to me. i talked about them, actually in an interview i think with either "time" magazine -- i think it was "time" magazine, talked about how much i loved the show. i am known to occasionally tweet out my affection for television shows that i adore. i think they saw me, reached out. once i finished squealing internally i responded with a professional tone, "we'd love to have your support of fair

fight." >> jimmy: i think it's unusual to be involved in an election in a state that you don't live in. but how can and is it appropriate for people to be involved in an election in georgia who don't live there? >> there are two things you can go. go to gasenate.com. also go to helpwingeorgia.com. both those websites help you either contribute to the work that we're doing to turn out those voters who need the most help getting back to the polls and helpwingeorgia.com tells you how you can sign up to be a volunteer. anything that you want to do, we'll help you get directed to do it. please stay where you are. send your love and support but keep yourself at home, covid is real, we want everyone to be safe when we win this election. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: thank you very much. thanks for all the work that you're doing. and happy birthday. >> thank you so much, jimmy. it's been delightful. >> jimmy: stacey abrams, everyone. [ cheers and applause ] we'll be back business ari lennox!
