appreciate your time. stay tuned for jimmy kimmel. good night. >> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live"! tonight -- sacha baron cohen, charlotte lawrence.music from and now, jimmy kimmel! >> jimmy: wow, thank you, hi. i'm jimmy. i am the host of the show. and i welcome you to it. we are coming to you from our headquarters in hollywood. on what was thankfully an uneventful day in washington, d.c. today was supposed to be a big one for the aluminum foil hat crowd. march 4th was the day trump would return to power. return to glory. i woke up this morning, said to my wife "is he president again?" she said, "no, he's not." [ laughter ] they screwed up again. i never thought i'd say this, but i'm starting to not trust my qanon message boards. [ laughter ] donald trump was not re-inaugurated as the prophecy foretold.

he was not sworn in. he did not order the military to capture the pope. he did take his pills without the nurse having to wrap them in salami today, so that was good. [ laughter ] otherwise, we didn't hear a peep out of him. the police were on high alert outside the capitol because of threats, fears of the kind of violence we saw on january 6th. the house even canceled their session today out of an abundance of caution. this was the scene on capitol hill. kind of a fun "north korea vibe" going. why is it that the people who claim to love our country the most are also the ones who threaten to blow it up? these conspiracy aficionados picked the date march 4th because it is the date on which presidents used to be inaugurated in the olden times. which is so random. march 4th is also the anniversary of the first people's choice awards. [ laughter ] and the people chose joe biden so i don't know, get off the q and call your children, they're worried about you. [ laughter ] even though none of these

predictions ever come true, they keep coming. in fact, now they're stealing plots from nicholas cage movies. >> there are a few things they believe. the first thing was that it's not really biden, and like the movie "face/off," it's really president trump. the reason president biden is always wearing a mask isn't because of covid-19, it's because they haven't synced up the mouth yet, between the facial mask of biden and how president trump is imitating biden. >> jimmy: yeah, that makes sense if you think about it, he is good at imitations. [ laughter ] even for crazy people, i mean, okay, let's assume that this is correct. let's assume that donald trump is indeed wearing a mask that looks like joe biden with a little blue mask on top of it. to hide his mouth. let's take a leap off that bridge and go along with that being true. how do you explain the fact that he's tucking in that extra 112 pounds? [ laughter ]

is there a magic set of spanx i don't know about? if there is, i would like to know about them. [ laughter ] here's all you need to know. remember the guy dressed up with horns on his head during the attack on the capitol? the qanon "shaman"? the one whose mother complained that the prison wasn't serving him organic meals? his name is jacob chansley. he sat for an interview with cbs from incarceration. according to him, we have it all wrong. >> my actions were not an attack on this country, that is incorrect. that is inaccurate. entirely. >> how would you describe them? >> my actions on january 6th, how would i describe them? i sang a song. and that's a part of shamanism. it's about creating positive vibrations in a sacred chamber. i stopped somebody from stealing muffins out of the break room. >> jimmy: he literally stopped the steal of muffins. [ laughter ] of muffins. go ahead and pee on chuck schumer's chair, god's sake, don't touch the muffins. it's funny, now that you see him, you understand why he wore

the headdress. [ laughter ] he's bald. he's a prematurely bald man. who lives with his mother and calls himself a shaman. if i was him, that would be my defense. "your honor, i'm a prematurely bald man who lives with his mother and calls himself a shaman. haven't i suffered enough?" [ laughter ] and while his story about being on muffin patrol was cute, cbs followed up with some facts about what he had on him. >> while he was protecting muffins he had a flagpole with a spear point at the end that prosecutors say was a weapon. he wrote a note to mike pence saying "justice is coming." clearly the shaman contains multitudes. >> jimmy: clearly. poor mike pence. did you know he works at a mattress store? [ laughter ] true. he sells sealy posturepedics at a mattress warehouse in ft. wayne, indiana. donald trump is said to be plotting his political future. and the rumor is he's in the market for a new running mate. which is funny. trump thinking pence is the problem is like hitler blaming his german shepherd for losing world war ii. [ laughter ]

trump is reportedly thinking about picking a woman, or a person of color as a running mate. that's going to be a tough choice. who do you go with? diamond? or silk? [ laughter ] trump advisor jason miller called the reports "fake news." he said "no such conversations are happening. the president is still entirely focused on whining about losing in 2020." [ laughter ] trump should just go without a running mate. or even better, he should make it into a show. >> 24 candidates, one highly coveted position. who will be the next vp? >> that's a pretty tough question. >> the daughter. the second-favorite son. the third-favorite son. hee-haw hawley. papa john. the ghost of rush limbaugh. this pile of old wet socks. a haunted mannequin. rudy. a mypillow with a moustache. miss venezuela 2003.

"celebrity veepprentice." followed by "how i met mother." only on newsmax. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: i would watch that. i think we're focusing on the wrong thing. never mind his running mate. the real question is, who is gonna be donald trump's cell mate in 2024? [ applause ] i vote for r. kelly. joe biden has only been president for six weeks, but that doesn't matter to republicans, who have been frothing at the mouth to pounce. senator john barrasso of wyoming stopped by his local kinko's to print something out to give our new president a grade on one hell of a curve. >> if you were to grade joe biden's abilities to keep his promises of opening schools, joe biden's report card, he deserves an "f." and it's a well-deserved grade for him. because he promised that he would have the schools open all across america within 100 days. and he's failed. and we're halfway there. [ laughter ]

>> jimmy: wait. how can you fail if we're halfway there? [ laughter ] okay, kids! time's halfway, pencils down! [ laughter ] and by the way, he's been president for 43 days. is 43 half of 100? give yourself an "f" too. [ cheers and applause ] yesterday, joe biden referred to the dangerous and dumb decision by the governors of texas and mississippi to lift their mask mandates. he called it "neanderthal thinking" and that did not go over well with the neanderthal. >> how do you respond to the president's unification message of calling you and other governors a neanderthal? >> two things, brian. first, it obviously is not the type of thing that a president should be saying. [ laughter ] [ applause ] >> jimmy: huh. you think these guys even hear themselves anymore? [ laughter ] oh, there's the governor making a handshake agreement on the type of things presidents should be saying. [ laughter ] you don't call people

neanderthals, you call them crooked and crazy like a gentleman does. [ laughter ] now that more of the vaccine is on the way, some states are loosening up about 16% of the population of the country has been vaccinated already they're currently pumping out about 2 million shots a day. including the single shot vaccine from johnson & johnson, who released this chart yesterday highlighting the effectiveness of their vaccine. [ laughter ] how does that get by anyone? for me, the shape of a penis is the first thing i see. [ laughter ] "what is that, a penis?" "no, it's a flashlight." okay, that's why it's lighting up, all right, i see. [ laughter ] i should an consultant for that sort of thing. hey, we have a very good show for you tonight. maybe even a great one. keep everything crossed. moments from now, we will be joined by an international man of mystery and double golden globe winner on sunday, sacha baron cohen. [ cheers and applause ] we have music from charlotte lawrence. and from "coming 2 america," wesley snipes will visit for the first time. [ cheers and applause ]

"coming 2 america," of course, is the long-awaited sequel to "coming one america." [ laughter ] and whenever a major motion picture is released, we release our in-house movie critic, yehya. yehya loves movies and stars, and here he is now with a brand-new review. >> action! today i talk about the movie "come 2 america today." the man guy in the movie is the murphy. and he come all the way from africa. >> we are going back to america. >> oh hell no, your majesty! >> come on! >> actually, idi murphy, i saw him like 1980 for the movie "beverly cop." his first. like comedian. every time he say [ bleep ], [ bleep ], [ bleep ], [ bleep ], [ bleep ], [ bleep ], [ bleep ]. very funny guy. he do the -- also the movie, i love it, "48 hour." and the guy, nick nolte, he's

he took the "star wars," the dark beater. i'll tell you something, i am your father. >> no! >> "uganda forever." what i say more? [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: wow. look who's here? it's yehya, everybody. >> i love you! >> jimmy: welcome yehya. come give me covid for a second. are we allowed to hug? we'll do one of these. i love you, god bless you, yehya. >> i love you! like this? >> jimmy: you want to take a picture? >> i'm going soon. >> jimmy: the show's on -- okay, that's a good one. [ laughter ] >> thank you, jimmy! >> jimmy: thank you, yehya, thank you. yehya, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] all right, who wants prizes? [ cheers and applause ] we don't have any prizes. [ laughter ] but it is thursday night which means it's time to bleep and blur the big tv moments of the week whether they need it or

not. it is "this week in unnecessary censorship." >> oh there he is. look at that. hi, jim. i heard you were great. in fact, i hated the [ bleep ] out of you. i want to [ bleep ] other people, i can name them too. >> john boyega, small [ bleep ]. >> i never [ bleep ]ed anyone inappropriately. >> senator manchin has been clear that he is [ bleep ]ed a big [ bleep ]. he believes it should meet the moment. >> like slapping you in the face with a [ bleep ]. i think it's going to wake people up. >> cold pizza and copy sou[ ble sounds fantastic. >> looks like he's going to take a page out of the celtic warrior's playbook! >> to jimmy kimmel i say [ bleep ], [ bleep ], [ bleep ], [ bleep ]. i hope that up on "unnecessary censorship."

joel mchale and secretary of transportation pete buttigieg, who hosted the last show we did in front of a regular studio audience before we got locked up. >> guillermo: on thursday, yes. >> jimmy: yeah. >> guillermo: i remember. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: you know our first guest by many names. ali, bruno, borat, sometimes litigant. last week, he won two golden globes for his movie "borat subsequent moviefilm," and he's currently nominated for both s.a.g. and critics choice awards for playing abby hoffman in aaron sorkin's "the trial of the chicago 7." >> they got hated, we got to march down to the police station, overcome the cops and illinois national guard and free tom hayden! we couldn't find our way out of the park. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: "the trial of the chicago 7" is on netflix right now. please welcome sacha baron

cohen. [ cheers and applause ] hey, saudi arab how are you? >> jimmy, how are you, mate? >> jimmy: i saw you winning golden globes, very well earned. >> thank you very much. >> jimmy: as everybody knows it was a virtual type of situation where you were in a room with the other nom theyinees. did you talk to the other people, were you chatting with them? >> i did. they did that beforehand, we were all wishing each other luck. then, actually, after i'd won both of them, they put me back in the room with the other nominees. >> jimmy: oh, no. [ laughter ] >> and it was incredibly awkward. and i was just saying, listen, guys, we're all -- we're all winners! [ laughter ] but they hated me, they hated me. >> jimmy: you know, if they had any sense of humor they would have stuck rudy giuliani in that room with you. [ laughter ] did he send anything? did he send you flowers or an edible arrangement? >> he sent a huge box of condoms. [ laughter ]

>> jimmy: how responsible. how very responsible. so you're nominated now for s.a.g. and critics choice award, correct? >> yeah. >> jimmy: critics choice award for "trial of chicago 7" which is, by the way, great. you did a great job in that movie. [ cheers and applause ] i really enjoyed that movie. >> thanks. >> jimmy: i wonder, like how much did you know about abdi hoffman, being a foreigner to this country, before you took on this role? >> i've actually known about him and admired him since the age of 20. i learned about him at university. and then when steven spielberg made the first incarnation of this movie, about 13 years ago, i was cheeky enough to call him up and said, listen, can i audition? and steven said -- first he goes, who are you? [ laughter ] he said, listen, i'm concerned that you may -- you won't be

able to get the accent. he sent me his dialect coach. he said, learn this two-minute speech by abbi. so every night for two weeks we recorded on a cd -- this is how long ago it was -- three versions of that speech. it started off terribly. i was like a cockney doing abby hoffman, doing this boston accent. by the end of two weeks i kind of perfected it. the dialect coach said, use take 28, give that to spielberg. i told my assistant at the time, all right, take take 28, put on it a cd, give to it mr. spielberg. the next day i meet with steven at his late mother's kosher restaurant on pico boulevard. he goes, sacha, i got the cd, thank you very much for doing that. i've got to be completely honest, the first 10 takes were not veg. [ laughter ] but by take 27, 28, you nailed it, you got the part.

[ laughter ] >> jimmy: he actually listened to all of those takes? >> it's unbelievable. that's why it's steven spielberg. he's just a geek. he works harder than any other director. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah, i mean, he listened to 28 takes for a movie he didn't even wind up making. >> exactly. >> jimmy: that assistant is doing what now? >> believe it or not, she's actually producing --. >> jimmy: i had a feeling. >> oscar-nominated movies. >> jimmy: i had a feeling, i really did. >> in hollywood, you fall upwards. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: it's funny, "borat" and "chicago 7" came out about a month apart, is that correct? >> they came out seven days apart. >> jimmy: seven days apart. how much time was there in between making those movies? >> so we actually -- we were shooting "borat." and then this second incarnation of "chicago 7" happened with aaron sorkin. i was like, i have to make

"chicago 7." and i shot down "borat" the month movie and went to chicago and started filming but didn't tell aaron or any of the other cast what i was doing. because we had to keep "borat" completely secret. >> jimmy: you wanted to keep it quiet from them, it wasn't that you were worried that there would be some concern that you had to stay in character or something like that? you just didn't want them to know? >> yeah, no, the problem with "borat" was if word had got out, the movie would have ended. >> jimmy: right, right. >> it was a little weird. there was one scene where i'm playing abby and i'm storming democratic national convention. and i knew that three months later, i was going to be playing borat breaking into cpac. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: wow. >> obviously when i did it the second time, i was wearing a prosthetic head that looked like donald trump. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: i heard that, and i wonder if this is true, that you sometimes will wear a different

pair of underwear, a pair of underwear that feels right for the character that you're playing. >> yeah. that's basically it. so every character i play, everything they've got on them is authentic to that character. so borat wears my late father's string underpants. [ laughter ] and abby hoffman had these great '60s hemp underpants. and bruno has a g-string. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: is that an idea -- >> you never know where it's going to go, a bit like my last time with you. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: is that something that you picked up from another actor, or is this something that you decided to do? >> no, i basically wanted a borat interview, somebody asked me to remove my trousers at one point, and they noticed i was wearing the wrong underpants. and it killed the interview. from then on, i've gone full daniel day lewis when it comes to underwear. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: i like that.

you did borat for us in 2018, right around the time of the midterm elections. how long had it been before that? >> so i hadn't really done anything -- the only time borat existed after the first movie was on this show. i came on once during trump's campaign for election where i -- borat was saying that trump was a sacha barren cohen character. >> jimmy: right, right. >> then you brought me on for the midterms. weirdly enough, the next day -- i know it seemed that borat would be impossible to do in the real world. next day in the writers room, we were writing a different movie, i was like, hold on. borat works with real people action we did it on jimmy's show, is there a movie we could get out in time for the election? about taken minutes later we had an idea. three days later we set it up in the studio. >> jimmy: wow. that is unbelievable.

>> so i thank you, but you're not going to get a card. [ laughter ] [ applause ] >> jimmy: yes, would it have been nice if you fanged me in the golden globes speech? yes, it would have. [ laughter ] but we have this. all right, sacha baron cohen is with us. his movies are "the trial of the chicago 7" and" borat." we'll be right back with sacha. >> dicky: portions of "jimmy kimmel live" brought to you by crown royal in celebration of "coming 2 america" honoring black heritage month and black royalty all year round.
