merry christmas. have a wonderful evening. see you bright and early in the morning. >> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live"! tonight, zendaya. diego luna. and music from paris jackson. and now, jimmy kimmel! >> jimmy: hello, i'm jimmy. i'm the host. thank you for watching from wherever you're sheltered in place. we're coming to you from los angeles, where what they call a safer at home order is in effect. aren't we always safer at home? i know i am. our mayor, eric garcetti, is urging residents to cancel everything and hunker down. one thing about 2020 is we've never used the word "hunker" more than we have this year. you know who's hunkering down in l.a. for a while, lebron james and anthony davis. [ cheers and applause ] they just signed to stay with the lakers. the champions. a.d. signed a five-year deal,

lebron signed a two-year extension worth $85 million. that just is base pay. he'll make more than that from endorsement deals. it's like how waiters make most of their money in tips. lebron is signed through 2023. then his son will be eligible for the nba draft and potentially play alongside his dad in the nba. just what you want when you're a rookie, dad there. [ laughter ] yelling at you to post up. donald trump did not get a contract extension this year. he says he did but he didn't. [ cheers and applause ] the president and the first lady took part in the annual 98th gaslighting -- i mean, treelighting tonight. [ laughter ] because of the pandemic, the event wasn't live, it was prerecorded on monday night. but that didn't make it one bit less magical. >> please join me from your homes and all over the country, and in fact all over the world, as we light our great tree. we'll start with -- five, four, three, two, one -- ♪

>> jimmy: oh, my -- well, you know, that's 2020 for you. [ applause ] the good news is the vaccines are on the way. soon, we hope. the next big challenge might be getting people to take them. in an effort to give that a push, three former presidents announced that they'd be willing to get the shot on tv. obama, bush, and clinton are joining forces for what they promise will be the most boring pay-per-view event of our lives. [ laughter ] on the other end of the responsibility spectrum, secretary of state mike pompeo is moving ahead with plans for not one but two holiday parties at the state department this month. pompeo has reportedly sent out over 900 invitations for just one of the events which is being held indoors in what they call the benjamin franklin room. benjamin franklin died of lung disease. a state department spokesman dead face coverings will be mandatory. how long do you think the face covering will last in a room

full of bigs in a blanket? he could end up eat an n95 face mask. our future ex-president is not happy with his attorney general, bill barr, after barr came out to declare there's no evidence of widespread election fraud. he was called to a meeting with trump that was said to be intense. i would love to have been a fly on the wall trump didn't build for that one, i'll tell you that. [ laughter ] the meeting was said to be contentious. when barr left the white house you could see tiny little slap marks all over his face. [ laughter ] there's talk that even though trump has 48 days in office he might give barr the boot. trump weighed in on that subject and more. >> can i ask you to respond to the comments by your attorney general, who indicated he has not seen at this point any evidence of fraud enough to overturn the election results? given that, why is now not the time to concede? >> well, he hasn't done anything. so he hasn't looked. when he looks, he'll see the

kind of evidence that right now you're seeing in the georgia senate, you know. they're going through hearings right now in georgia, they're finding tremendous volumes. so they haven't looked very hard. >> jimmy: right, right. have they tried opening all the little doors of the advent calendar? [ laughter ] maybe the evidence is in there. >> do you still have confidence in barr? >> uh -- ask me that in a number of weeks from now. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: thanks, president magic eight ball. [ laughter ] you know trump is so jealous of kim jong-un right now. why scant i feed barr to starving coyotes? i'd like to see trump fire him just to find out who's willing to take the title of "two-month attorney general." this is exciting. this is is the part of the movie where we start rooting for predator to be alien. [ laughter ] the vice poodle, mike pence, seems to be distancing himself from trump's claims of election fraud.

usually when mike pence is distancing himself from you, you're a woman whose ankles are showing. [ laughter ] according to one insider, pence does not want to go down with this ship. that's like the first mate on the "lusitania" trying to distance himself from the torpedo hole. it's too late, my man, you're about to get wet. cousin rudy is at it again. there's some crazy stuff going on right now that most people probably aren't even aware of. the nuttiest of the nutty trump nuts are showing up to what they're calling election hearings. and all the looneys are coming out of the bin. last night we were introduced to a new character in the trumper-verse, a woman named melissa coron, no relation to the virus. i watched this clip 14 times, i'm still not convinced she's a real person. >> i've lost family, i've lost friends, i've been threatened, i've been -- my kids have been threatened, my -- i've had to move, i've had to change my phone number, i've had to get rid of social media, i've -- there -- nobody wants to come forward. they're getting threatened. >> jimmy: she's been threat-ened!

you under-stand? she's fright-ened! [ laughter and applause ] >> jimmy: and she doesn't have a boy-friend! this woman, it seemed like she was making rudy giuliani nervous, believes this nonsense. even trump doesn't actually believe. she spent most of her time accusing the democrats of stealing the election by attacking republican politician ises. >> my question is, we're not seeing the poll book off by 30,000 votes. >> what'd you guys do, take and it do something crazy to it? >> i'm saying the numbers are not off by 30,000 votes. >> i know what i saw. i know what i saw, and i signed something saying that if i'm wrong, i can go to prison. did you? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: what are the odds she's wearing a rose all day tank top under that scarf? [ laughter ] watch your back, judge jeanine! then another star witness

stepped forward for team trump, and this one somehow managed to bring china into this. >> you can actually show up and vote without an i.d. it's shocking. how can you allow that to happen? like a lot of people think all indians look alike, i think all chinese look alike. how would you tell? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: no further racists, your honor, we rest. [ laughter ] it was quite a parade. but the grand marshal of crazy was not to be outdone. listen here as former "time" magazine person of the year, rudy giuliani, passes a little bit of gas. >> you're attempting to seek a pardon, so why is this not part of that? >> i will ask that he be disciplined for that. first of all -- [ laughter ] >> jimmy: that's why they call him rudy tootie. in case you missed the first one, he did it again. >> i'm hoping to get an answer to the other questions about mr.

barr and others who have -- >> i gave you the answer. >> a point of order -- >> the answer i gave you is they didn't bother to interview a single witness. just like you, they don't want to know the truth. >> jimmy: the look on that woman -- now if you'll excuse me, i have to go change my bloomers! [ laughter ] it's "shark week" on oan. [ laughter ] and it's all in service of our dear miss leader. he inspires people. he is a man of no shame. yesterday he released a video that looked like a live press conference but it was not, it was a badly edited 46-minute lie-a-tribe that was so full of foolshoods, three fact checkers died during this speech. [ laughter ] it was a lot to take in. we decided to whittle out the misinformation. from 40-something minutes of talking, this is what was left. >> thank you. this may be the most important speech i've ever made. this election is done. joe biden is going to be your next president. it's too late to change the outcome. congratulations. the days of donald trump are coming to an end.

and it's been like living in hell. what can i say? i'm sorry. i'm sorry! so with the resolve and support of the american people, joe biden will do what's right for our country. and i hope that joe biden will restore trust in our system of government. thank you. god bless you. and god bless santa claus. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: let's let him have santa claus, huh? all right. this is something i hope will delight you as much as it did me. i was watching the local news last week. because of the pandemic, you know, everyone they talk to on the street is in a mask. their faces are covered. and when they answer questions, i realized that you could really put any words into their mouths you wanted. like this. >> lucas, let me ask you, if you won the lottery, what would you buy? >> houses in my favorite cities around the world. >> if you won the lottery, what would you buy?

>> i would buy 100 dump trucks. >> jimmy: okay, you get the idea. we ask questions, we swap the answers from the parents with the answers from the kids. with that said, i'm proud to present the first of what i believe will be many editions of "masking questions." >> henry, what is your favorite thing to drink? >> i love chocolate milk with marshmallow. >> what is your favorite thing to drink? >> iced coffee macchiato. >> what would you like for christmas? >> ellen wood dollhouse. >> what do you want for christmas? >> playstation 5. >> what do you like to play? >> fifa. >> what do you like to do for fun? >> i like to paint. >> how about you, what do you do for fun? >> snowboard. >> you like to snowboard? >> yep.

>> have you ever gotten in trouble for something? >> i've crashed a car before. >> you did? what kind of car? >> i think a 2012 kia. >> marci, have you ever gotten in trouble? >> when i was like 2 or 3, i was drawing on my closet door. >> what were you drawing? >> i don't know, just scribbly scrabbling. >> what do you think america could do to become more united? >> be happy, be kind, be more nice. >> cassie, what are some things america can do to be better? >> i think we need to legalize marijuana all across the globe. >> josiah, if you could visit anywhere in the world, where would you want to go visit? >> go to my girlfriend's home down. >> blair, if you could visit anywhere in the world, where would you go? >> the pumpkin patch. >> what is your favorite food? >> hot wings, barbecue with the ranch to dip in. >> blair, what is your favorite food? >> mac and cheese!

>> how long ago was it? >> jimmy: 9 1/2 weeks. >> wow. >> jimmy: seems like it was 9 1/2 months ago, doesn't it? >> it's weird because it all -- it feels like forever ago, but also feels like it just happened. >> jimmy: it does, yeah. i guess that sort of thing does feel like it. you're up against so many established, huge names, huge talents. did you think that you might -- like in the back of your head think, hey, i might win this? >> no. absolutely not. i mean, it was crazy, i think, just to be like -- just to be sitting there, on like -- essentially like a zoom call with these women that i'm in this category with, you know. it was like insane, like just to be mentioned in the conversation. so i was just like -- i didn't know what to do. everybody -- i was like -- it's like writing a speech, i feel like that's presumptuous and weird and i shouldn't do that. like -- you know, then i was like, but i should write something because everybody's telling me, you can't just wing it, because usually i write it, no, you should write something. i should write something, but i can't.

is this what's going on? do you hear that a lot? >> yes. yes, i do. >> jimmy: and when somebody like miss marcia comes in and is great off the bat without any acting experience, is that disheartening at all? because that wouldn't happen in any other job.

>> hey, hey, how are you, jimmy? >> jimmy: i'm good. i'm sorry it's so late. i heard it's the middle of the night where you are now, huh? >> it's very late. i'm in london. it's late, cold. but i'm happy to be here. >> jimmy: you're shooting right now. what are you shooting right now over there? >> yeah, a tiny little thing. a short film with some friends. >> jimmy: right. for disney plus with lucasfilm involved. >> they're my friends, yeah. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: so i want to ask this question. we had -- the nerds descend upon me today. this is the question. i've actually written it down so i can get it right. "rogue one" was a prequel to "star wars" episode iv. your series is a prequel to that but it is not a sequel to episodes i, ii, iii, commonly known as the prequels. so your show is a prequel to a prequel, but not a sequel to the

prequel. [ laughter ] is that accurate? >> yeah. >> jimmy: that is accurate? >> i think my son wrote that question. [ laughter ] the nerds, you're referring to my son, yeah. it is a weird one. it's basically everything you have to know to understand "rogue one." so the story of the character before and how -- i mean, i can spoil the ending, i guess? >> jimmy: well, we know what happens ultimately to your character. so you really -- you've already spoiled the ending. >> yeah, i did. i did. we did. successfully. which was great. it's nice to, you know -- to go into a story you already know the ending. then you can take care of the little nuances. >> jimmy: right. >> the layers. i think it's fun to do something that is not just about getting to the end. >> jimmy: right, yeah. no, i'm with you. >> it's about delaying that.

>> jimmy: right. you're talking about acting, right? [ laughter ] >> yes. >> jimmy: diego, i remember when you were here with the cast, and you said your son, you were talking about your son. you were facetiming with your son, and -- what happened? like somebody walked by in the background and your son got a screen grab? >> not somebody. a stormtrooper. >> jimmy: a stormtrooper, yeah. >> yeah. and he took a screen shot of that conversation. and then he handed me, and i lived two or three minutes of panic. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: right. >> it was horrible. horrendous. he's not allowed to go to set anymore. you know, there's a whole lockdown in london and it's because my son is here. [ laughter ] lock everyone so he can't go to set.

>> jimmy: you have a double agent in your midst. will you celebrate christmas in london? >> no, i'll go back to mexico. >> jimmy: you will go back to mexico. >> of course. >> jimmy: yes. >> family, my home is. >> jimmy: how old are your children? >> 10 and 12. >> jimmy: so -- okay, so i don't know if they're -- are they in the santa range? >> no. >> jimmy: okay, they're out of the santa range. >> i am a terrible -- no, they're not. but it's -- i mean, i grew up like that, you know. my father hated christmas. >> jimmy: your father hated christmas? wow. >> i mean, he just didn't care, you know. we'd always end up crashing someone else's christmas dinner. it was always him and i just there hugging people we actually didn't know. getting leftovers as presents, you know. the vhs of a cheesy film or whatever. >> jimmy: what? >> well, yeah. i mean -- yeah. it's sad. i was born also the 29th of december.

for me the whole christmas, it's just not the right time of the year, you know? >> jimmy: oh, no. this is terrible. so your dad -- >> terrible. >> jimmy: it almost sounds like one of those primetime specials. i don't know if you have seen those. those rankin bass animated things, the dad who didn't care about christmas. the end of a special like that, something would happen. the end of "the grinch," his heart grows many sizes. that never happened to your dad, huh? >> no, no. [ laughter ] never, never. i have to live with it. i mean, i had to understand that there was another boy that was born kind of like the same week i was, and who was more important than i was. even to my father. so anyway, yeah. >> jimmy: wow. >> my kids -- i played it for my kids many years, and i would have fun. >> jimmy: do you overcompensate now because your father did not -- i see, oh, that's good, all right. >> yeah. >> jimmy: and you -- >> of course, they're getting everything i didn't get, you know. the problem is, it's all vintage

toys that i wanted. and they go like, dad. no one wants that anymore. [ applause ] >> jimmy: is there something on your list? i feel i should send you some presents. [ laughter ] maybe a he-man doll? a stretch armstrong? >> oh, the stretch armstrong, that was amazing! [ laughter ] >> jimmy: i'm going to get you a dress and there's going to be a stretch armstrong in the mail, don't worry, diego. a little elf named guillermo is going to name it to you. >> guillermo: hi, diego! >> hi, there you are! >> guillermo: hello, bien! >> jimmy: he said how are you doing? guillermo doesn't speak any spanish. >> guillermo: tell him mui bien. >> jimmy: he said he's doing very well. i'm translating for you guys. diego, you guys did a fun thing for charity. you recreated the movie "the princess bride." and -- i'm not -- >> we made it better, in fact. [ laughter ]

>> jimmy: you made it better. >> yeah, i mean, we fixed -- i mean, obviously they did years ago -- we had all the tools. >> jimmy: you shot this on your phones. all the actors were in different spots, then they pieced it together. who actually shot this for you? >> well, i had three directors on set, which was challenging. as an actor. >> jimmy: uh-huh. >> because i had three different perspectives. my daughter, my son, and my girlfriend's son. [ laughter ] so they were directing me. it was quite confusing. >> jimmy: yes. >> and then jason reitman was the director of the whole thing. and i got to see jack black's video before i did mine. >> jimmy: uh-huh. >> took a lot of care in the continuity. >> jimmy: well, it came out -- >> so it would match. >> jimmy: it's almost perfect, let's take a look. >> when the man arrived and asked for a very special sword,

my father took the job. he slaved for one year. until he was done. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: seamless. absolutely seamless. [ applause ] >> thank you. thank you very much. >> jimmy: diego, your movie, it's called "wander darkly." i understand that you really can't tell us much of anything about it. is that true? >> it's true. it's true. usually we talk about films, i mean, you know -- now people go to see films knowing everything. this one, not going to say much. >> jimmy: okay. >> but it's a very smart script, amazingly wrote, sienna miller plays the wife, i play mateo. it's a beautiful, heartbreaking love story, very complex and interesting to watch.

>> jimmy: is spider-man in it? >> no. that's why it's -- you fancy spider-man? >> jimmy: no spider-man. well, it's very good to see you. go get a little bit of sleep. and an early merry christmas to you. "wander darkly" opens in theaters and on demand a week from tomorrow. diego luna, everybody! thanks, diego. we'll be back with paris jackson!
