post malone is on and we will see you tonight. >> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live." tonight, post malone. kawhi leonard. music from lewis capaldi. and now, jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: hi, that's me. hi, i'm jimmy, i'm the host. thanks for watching. oh, we have a lot of entertainment for you tonight. some might even say too much, right, guillermo? >> guillermo: right, jimmy. >> jimmy: i'm tired. our 3-year-old, tuesday night he woke up, he woke me up, he was yelling from his bedroom. so i went in and he said, my blanket is off. i had to put the blanket on him. i go back to bed. two hours later i hear him again screaming. again, my blanket is off. i put the blanket on him again. then last night before he went to sleep i taught him how to put his blanket on himself. i said, don't wake me up again,

i'm sleeping, here's how you do it. i showed him how to do it, i made him do it, he did it. i said, don't wake me up for your blanket. he said he wouldn't. we go to sleep, fine. 1:00 this morning, dad! i'm sound asleep. i stumble in his room, what? he says, in the morning for "brefkast," i want pancakes. [ laughter and applause ] oh, good, it's 1:00, wake your aunt jemima up with this nonsense. [ laughter ] we're one hanukkah away from christmas. [ laughter ] the u.s. postal service says they're experiencing major delays. turns out some idiot uprooted a lot of the mailboxes just before election day. [ laughter ] we are now on day 43 of squattergate. poutus is not happy. he is said to be throwing a [ bleep ] tantrum. i did not curse, for some reason they bleeped it without my

permission. right, guillermo? >> guillermo: right, jimmy. >> jimmy: he has reportedly told some advisers he might refuse to leave the white house on inauguration day. and then they have to talk him down from the ledge. last night our president-reject was up very late lashing out at senate majority leader mitch mcconnell. yesterday mcconnell officially recognized joe biden as winner of the election. 12:48 a.m., right about when my son ordered pancakes -- [ laughter ] trump treated, mitch, 75 million votes. 74, by the way. record for a sitting president, too soon to give up, republican party must soon learn to fight, people are angry. by people, he means him, he is 18. ry poor mitch mcconnell could barely swallow his turtle food this morning, he was so upset. [ laughter ] trump hasn't been this angry at someone from kentucky since the time the colonel forgot the extra gravy on his mashed

potatoes. this is the part where everyone starts noticing that maybe a testicle has appeared. [ laughter and applause ] even if old cheddar in charge does agree to hit the road, he may not have anywhere to go. the plan is for trump to live at mar-a-lago. his resort in florida. but his neighbors don't want that to happen. according to them in the early '90s, trump signed agreement to change mar-a-lago from his personal residence to a private club, which means he's technically not supposed to reside there. they're telling the city he can't move back in. what an interesting turn of events. this started with donald trump's father, made his fortune evicting people from their homes, it ends with his son getting evicted from not one but two houses in one month. [ laughter ] in other words, god exists and has a very good sense of humor about all of this. [ cheers and applause ] i hope he winds up sharing a duplex in new jersey with rudy and the my pillow guy. [ laughter ] with 34 days left in office

trump is busy deciding who he will pardon and what they'll give hem for it. he's reportedly thinking about reporting a special counsel to investigate hunter biden and his tax returns. he is something else, like jeffrey epstein investigating r. kelly for sex stuff. [ laughter ] there's a lot at stake here. if it turns out hunter biden did, in fact, cheat on his taxes? trump would then have to legally adopt him. [ laughter ] but we'll see. in the meantime, the president will continue to work very hard to cement his legacy as the pet pettiest bitch the world has ever known. [ cheers and applause ] the trump/pence campaign, more than a month after the election ended, sent this email, it says, i have something special for you, our incredible first lady, melania trump, handpicked the beautiful photos for our brand-new 2021 trump calendar. she said to me, darling, i want all of your best supporters to

have priority access to get the calendar first. right. i'm sure that's exactly what she said. [ laughter ] anyway, i was curious to see what photos melania handpicked so we ordered the calendar and here it is. i'll take you through it. you can see the cover, there they are. enjoying time together. oh, there's the president, and his hair. there's justin trudeau, prime minister of canada. who can forget that moment from march. there's the almost handhold. there's, oh -- [ laughter ] athletic husband. oh, there -- there's water. there's the son. there's toilet paper. [ laughter and applause ] >> jimmy: oh, that was a special day. look, look who's together, the buddies. finally, i hate my husband and i hate christmas. well done, melania, it's going to be a hell of a new year. [ laughter ] this country has never been more divided, even a deadly pandemic

didn't bring us together. in many ways it's pushed us even farther apart. reminds me of the christmas special "the year without a santa claus." remember that? the heat and snow miser, brothers, they hated each other so much, they had to get mother nature to intervene to save christmas. that's what the country is like, families divided at christmas time. we updated that holiday classic for 2020 when this is what those two brothers would be arguing about. ♪ ♪ i'm mr. liberal snowflake i'm mr. pc ♪ ♪ i'm mr. trump's hitler i'm mr. you're triggering me ♪ ♪ folks call me radical lefty i quote science facts ♪ ♪ and wear black lives matter hats raise my tax ♪ ♪ ♪ he's mr. public radio he's mr.

[ cheers and applause ] thought the north pole was in canada. by the way, this is something. this is something that one of our writers found at cvs. i'm going to get a close look here. it's an ornament. you think, oh, that's nice, i can put a picture of my grandma on it. but you look a little closer, you can see what's engraved on the bottom is "always remember 2020." [ laughter ] 2020, the year of the dead grandma christmas ornament. [ laughter ] i wonder if the model if this stock photo had any idea she'd be an old dead lady hanging on a tree. [ laughter ]

>> jimmy: it isn't all gloom and doom this holiday season. for children, as we speak, santa is still hard at work up at the north pole, building ps5s or whatever the hell he's making. to help him, guillermo and i have an annual tradition. we do temp work as elves to help santa figure out which kids deserve what. we couldn't do it in person but we have computers, so we buckled up our pointy shoes and got down to christmas business for santa. hello, there. >> guillermo: hi! >> jimmy: what's your name? >> lincoln. >> jimmy: hi, lincoln, my name is elf jimmy. this is elf guillermo. we work for santa claus. we're at the north pole right now. do you like christmas? which do you like better, your birthday or christmas? >> christmas. >> jimmy: that's good to hear. we love christmas too. >> guillermo: we love christmas.

>> jimmy: lincoln, tell us a little bit about yourself. how old are you. >> 5. >> jimmy: 5 years old. have you been naughty or nice this year? >> nice. >> jimmy: nice. very nice? extremely nice? so nice it sometimes circles around to not nice? oh, okay, good. tell us about some of the nice things that you do. >> i play with my brother, i help my parents. >> jimmy: how do you help your parents? >> by helping them cook and helping them drink water. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: you help your parents drink water, that's so good, because it's so important. so many kids nowadays don't help their parents drink water. >> i'm not water. >> jimmy: you're not water? you know, the truth is we are water, mostly. [ laughter ] but that's a whole different thing. all right. so tell me about some of the naughty things you've done this year.

>> i hitted my brother once a year. >> jimmy: once a year? when did you hit him? >> the days after my birthday. >> jimmy: the day after your birthday, you hit your brother. [ laughter ] why did you hit him? >> he called me names. >> jimmy: what did he call you? >> babies. >> jimmy: he called you babies. and you're not a baby. [ laughter ] who should get more presents, you or him? >> me. >> jimmy: okay. what presents would you like this year? >> i like a new bike and a new spider-man suit. and a new race car set and an elf suit. >> jimmy: an elf suit? hold on right there. why do you want an elf suit? >> i do not have one yet. >> jimmy: would you love to come work with us at the north pole? we'd love to have you. we're actually accepting applications right now. >> guillermo: it's very cold.

>> it's very cold? >> jimmy: yeah, it's very cold. do you like the cold? >> i have snow jackets. and snow pants and snow hats. >> jimmy: great. are you a smoker? >> uh-huh. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: you are, you smoke? how many cigarettes do you smoke every day? >> five. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: five cigarettes, all right, that's not bad. let me ask you a couple other questions about yourself. are you a hard worker? >> uh-huh. a very hard worker. >> jimmy: because we work very hard here at the north pole. are you proficient in microsoft excel? yeah? okay. photoshop? do you know how to shovel reindeer poop? we might have a spot for you up here. >> guillermo: yeah. i think he might be good. >> jimmy: yeah, you know what?

actually, on christmas eve, try to stay awake. because santa might want to talk to you, okay? all right, great. you know what? we decided to do, since you've been so nice, we sent you a present early this year. that's right. are you excited? there it is. you want to open it now or do you want to wait? >> wait. >> jimmy: wait till what? christmas? why don't you open it now, see if you like it? do you know what that is? it's watch batteries. [ laughter ] do you have a watch? >> no. >> jimmy: all right. well, maybe you can take those down to the mall and sell them. [ laughter ] all right, nice to meet you, lincoln. merry christmas! enjoy the watch batteries! >> bye! [ cheers and applause ]

"heard my bud post is on the show tomorrow, say hi for me, just listening to circles." >> what a legend, yes, sir, he's a badass. [ laughter ] my dad's a big fan of yours as well. >> jimmy: oh, that's nice, all right. >> we can trade off if you'd like. >> jimmy: yeah, maybe each one of them would appreciate us more. >> sure, sure. >> jimmy: i heard your dad was a wedding deejay, which is something i did when i was in college. i was also a wedding deejay. is that correct? >> yeah, yes, sir. i think, you know -- i was a little too young to remember everything. but i remember those sideburns that he had. >> jimmy: i had those too. you had to have them. because it gave you something, when you had the one headphone up to your ear, gave you something to rub up against if you had to. >> yeah, you never know. keeps the headphones in place. >> jimmy: so you would not credit that to inspiring your love for music? >> i'm sure. i'm sure it had something to do with it.

you know, i was always around music, from what he was playing, a little bit of everything. you know, that just gave me an appreciation, i guess, for everything. and especially like wedding-type music. >> jimmy: yeah. when you say wedding-type music, what pops into your head? what pops into my head, the first song is "celebration" by kool & the gang. [ laughter ] >> yeah, of course, stuff like that, you know. [ applause ] >> jimmy: what about christmas? what is post malone's number one favorite christmas song of all time? >> that's rough. >> jimmy: yeah, it's hard. >> it is hard. i like, you know -- what's the one where they talk about chestnuts? >> jimmy: roasting on an open fire. >> that's the one. [ laughter ] [ applause ] >> jimmy: have you ever eaten a chestnut? >> i have had a chestnut. jimmy, i think they taste terrible. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: did you roast them over an open fire, though? >> no, i think it was out of a bag. i just assumed it would be a little different over an open fire. >> jimmy: i think the song was

written before we had kit kats is what happened. people used to think, oh, wow, this is absolutely delicious. >> i'm going to make my new song "it's kit kats over an over fire." >> jimmy: i like it. i heard you like to go to cos o costco. did you go to costco, the one near your house? >> yes, sir, there's a costco maybe 10 minutes from here. i never knew the beauty of costco, and one day i woke up and i had an epiphany. and i was just like, let's go to costco. >> jimmy: yeah. >> get up, get out of bed, go straight to costco. i got my membership card. it's the worst picture on the back i've ever seen. [ laughter ] but it's a beautiful place. >> jimmy: it is. >> heaven. >> jimmy: it is. i could not possibly agree with you more. when i walk into costco, i look around, i go, oh, this is why everyone in the world hates us.

since 1994. so my membership card is -- my picture's 26 years old. >> older than me. >> jimmy: i look like my own son on the picture. [ laughter ] but i love it, i do. >> yeah, no. >> jimmy: do you wait in line for the samples or does that not interest you? >> i'm not a sample guy. i'm not a very patient guy. >> jimmy: me neither. >> i need to get out, get my goody sdms i'm against samples and people find this shocking. if you're at costco, the people in the line just get in my way. >> we should get rid of the samples completely, or let you just sample stuff off the shelf. >> jimmy: oh, yeah, that's nice. [ laughter ] >> take something out, just go for it. >> jimmy: spread it out a little bit. this is very weird. and i really -- i feel compelled to ask you about it. because your dentist posted a photo of you in his office. and that's weird to start with. and your dentist is the guy in the red. the guy who looks like he just got out of a ufc fight, yeah?

[ laughter ] >> yeah, he's the biggest, buffest dentist i've ever seen in my entire life, it's mind blowing. >> jimmy: i agree with you. >> he has the softest hands. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: but what interests me besides the fact that your dentist looks like one of the heroes on "the walking dead" is that you're getting a tattoo while at the dentist. why are you getting a tattoo there? >> two birds with one stone, why not? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: did you suggest this to your tattoo artist? >> yeah, i mean, we talked about it. we were just like, you know, i'll be sitting around for hours doing nothing anyways, why not get two bad things out of the way at the same time? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: do you feel like -- do you get the nitrous oxide when you go to the dentist or no? >> yeah, i mean, you know, just a little to take the edge off. >> jimmy: take the edge off, yeah. and it takes the edge off the

tattoo. that is multi-tasking like i've never seen before. >> i tell you what, man, welcome to the future, man, this is great.

tuesday. it's so crazy the season opens tuesday. it seems like it just ended. you guys play the lakers. is it more uncomfortable to play the team you chose not to go to? >> no, not at all. you know, i'm happy with my decision. and, you know, they did a great job last year. they did their thing. >> jimmy: your second game is against denver, who you played in the playoffs. and that is on christmas day. what is it like to play basketball on television on christmas day? >> oh, i mean, it's a great feeling. when you're outside as a kid, you're playing on christmas day with your friends and family. you know, it's like any other day, to me. you know, once i got selected to go into the nba, i knew it was no holidays in the nba. i just tell myself that so i don't get sad when i'm not able to see my family or friends on certain days. >> jimmy: yeah. >> so you know, just grind it out all season long, wait till the summertime, you know. that's when we can celebrate

anything. >> jimmy: do you exchange gifts with the other players? >> on future teams we have, we did a secret santa a couple of times. >> jimmy: oh. i don't know why that seems funny. so you guys sit around the locker room and like, okay, terron, i have you. is that how it goes? [ laughter ] >> usually we'll put the last name or a jersey number inside a hat. pass it around the room. whoever's number or name you get, that's who you have to buy a gift for. >> jimmy: what's the maximum you can spend, like $1 million on the gift? [ laughter ] >> no, not at all, not at all, some of the rookies don't have that type of money. >> jimmy: right. >> we limit it at $100. >> jimmy: would it be inappropriate for you to give them your new shoe, your new balance shoe? [ cheers and applause ] kawhi christmas? >> i like what i see right there, yes. >> jimmy: i'm wearing this because post malone was on before, he gave me some crocs. >> oh, yeah. >> jimmy: maybe you guys could team up on something together.

>> i like those. >> jimmy: this is the kawhi christmas shoe. it doesn't look like a christmas shoe, it looks like, frankly, a hanukkah shoe, blue and white. >> you know, you go to different people's homes, you see different colored christmas trees. you know. i just wanted to do a little winter vibe. i got the inspiration from a snow watt suit. >> jimmy: what's that? >> a creature that hibernates through the summertime. their furnitures white during the winter. you know, that's where i pretty much got the concept from. with basketball, you know, you really don't see that much. once the season comes, you know, the beast is released. >> jimmy: you know, the lakers have jack nicholson, their number one celebrity fan, little question about that. who would you say is the clippers' number one celebrity fan? >> i'd have to say billy crystal. >> jimmy: that is correct, billy crystal is the number one.

[ cheers and applause ] he's not a bandwagon fan, he's been through dark years rith the clippers. are you a fan of billy crystal's? >> some of his movies were before my time. the one with mary? or the lady that, you know -- [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah. >> can men and women be friends? >> jimmy: oh, this is going to be good. billy knows so much about the clippers. we thought it would be fun to see how much you know about billy. to help us out, here is the man himself. ladies and gentlemen, mr. billy crystal! [ cheers and applause ] hello, billy. >> hi. >> jimmy: kawhi is here. >> hey, kawhi. >> how you doing? >> good. i've got -- everything's before his time. everything is before his time. [ laughter ] look, look. look at this, can you see this? >> jimmy: what is that? >> that's my nba basketball card that they made me, that's my high school basketball picture. you see the scab on my knee, jimmy? >> jimmy: yeah. >> yeah, that's not from a game. i tripped on my way to the photo shoot. [ laughter ]

and i just thought it looked cool, like i played a lot, so i -- yeah, so i kept it, yeah. that's an old picture. >> jimmy: billy, you know a great deal about the clippers, what number does kawhi leonard wear? >> 17. no, he wears number 2. >> jimmy: where did he play college basketball? >> started yeshiva, then transferred to san diego state. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: how do you spell kawhi? >> k-a-w-h-i. >> jimmy: very good. billy knows a lot about you, now billy is going to ask you questions about him and his body of work. for every correct answer, you will get a crystal ball, all right? for every wrong answer, billy will be mad at you. [ laughter ] are you ready? shall we do this? >> let's go, let's go. >> first question. in "when harry met sally," which was made in 1875 -- [ laughter ] right after meg ryan fakes her

orgasm, what does one of the women in the deli say to her? >> "why would you do that?" [ laughter ] >> jimmy: not correct. >> not correct, no. she says, "i'll have what she's having." [ laughter ] >> jimmy: go with something more current, billy. >> no, now i know what i'm going to get him for christmas. [ laughter ] >> don't make me spell your name. >> in the animated movie "monsters, inc.," this is the character. >> yes. >> what's his name? >> one-eyed green monster. [ laughter ] >> his name is mike >> jimmy: that was close, i think we should give him one for

that. >> okay. is the movie called "city slickers" kawhi? this is a talky. [ laughter ] my character, mitch, along with the great actor, actor, actor trail, it's a western, we deliver a baby what? >> a human? a dog? >> no. it was a wassat. [ laughter ] no, it was a baby cow, his name was norman. speaking of shoes, i've got to show you this. if we have a second. this is -- look at the size of this. this is george muirson's shoe. we did a movie together called "my giant." this is a size 24. >> wow. that's big. >> i slept in this last night. [ laughter ]

surprisingly comfortable. it's a little narrow. but i wanted you to see that. jimmy, do we have a prize for him? >> jimmy: yes. well, you have to provide a prize, i don't have any prizes here, billy. >> okay. so kawhi, for playing along, and i'm such a gigantic fan and have been with the clippers forever, wishing you guys the best. i wish i could be there. we've got to stop meeting like this. i have for you a clippers home jersey. and it's got my name on it. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] so if you wear that opening night, name your charity, and i'll throw in a couple bucks.
