for all of us here we appreciate your time. right now on jimmy >> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live." tonight, jesse tyler ferguson. vanessa kirby. and music from niko moon. and now, jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: wow, thanks. hi. i'm jimmy, i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. thank you for joining us from california. new home of harry and meghan, the artist formerly known as prince and his wife, where the fallout continues from the oprah interview heard round the world. buckingham palace today released queen that begins, the whole - family is saddened. saddened is another word for bull [ bleep ]. to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years for harry and meghan, oh, they

just found out. the issues raised, particularly of race, are concerning. while some recollections are varied they will be addressed privately. in other words, prince charles is about to get a royal slew in his ass. [ laughter ] keeping it real, yo, the queen. [ laughter ] that was a diplomatic way of putting it. that's now how i would go in my family. if the matriarch of am i family put out a statement, it would go like this. >> dear dumb [ bleep ] and stupid ass. you didn't like hearing it? it was no tea party for me either. go live with oprah and [ bleep ] yourselves. good-bye. [ laughter and applause ] jerks. [ cheers and applause ]

>> jimmy: that's the difference. we're not royals, what i'm saying. speaking of aggressive behavior, at the white house there's been what has been described as a biting incident involving president biden's german shepherd, major, who allegedly sank his teeth into an unnamed individual. major has been stripped of his rank, he's dishonor really discharged. [ laughter ] they sent him home to live in delaware. see, that's another difference between biden and trump. when biden's dogs misbehave, they sent him home. when trump's dog misbehaved, they sent his supporters to storm the capitol and get him. [ laughter ] president biden has been doing redecorating around the house. portraits of bill clinton and george w bush are back on the wall in the white house. [ laughter ] in the grand foyer. unfortunately, a portrait of c.j. had to -- clinton is like, no, no, leave that where it was!

[ laughter ] sorry. the qanon shaman is having a bad week. a federal judge has ordered the shaman, jacob chancely, is too dangerous to be on the street, which means he'll remain in jail as his case is sherd. shoul he's been charged with multiple felonies for his role in the january 6th attack. chancely, this is quite a defense. he claims what he was carrying in the capitol wasn't a spear, he says it was a flagpole with a finial spear on its tip, not a spear. i guess they don't teach semantics at shaman college. [ laughter ] the hunt for the next bachelor continues. you know how donald trump spent all last year making claims about the dangers of voting by mail? guess who just voted by mail? donald trump, that's right. [ laughter ] he mailed in his ballot for a municipal election in palm beach, which is crazy.pif he lie did he lie to us about? [ laughter ]

[ applause ] the only time donald trump has ever voted in person was for miss universe. and himself. [ laughter ] last night i mentioned trump threatened to sue the republican party if they continued to use his name, because he wants all mondo nated to go to him. he issued a statement lashing out at those he deems republicans in name only, rinos. "no more money for rinos, they do nothing but hurt the republican party and our great voting base, they will never lead to us greatness. send your donation to save america pac at donaldjtrump.com, we will bring it all back stronger than ever before. yeah, right. this republican party, they get that fat little orange one after midnight, now he's eating them alive. [ laughter ] did you hear about the crisis at the border? this is the new thing. pepe la pew and the crisis at the border. remember the caravan full of dangerous immigrants that was head to heading up towards the united states and never showed

up in according to representative steve scalise of louisiana, they're on the road again. >> today we're seeing 3,000 or 4,000 illegal crossings a day at our southern border. it as national crisis. and it needs to be confronted by president biden, and he refuses to acknowledge this. there are superspreader caravans coming across our southern border. >> jimmy: where was he four months ago when the superspreader events were being held at the white house? [ laughter ] there's a lot of revisionism going on in our post-trump world. we're coming up on a year of lockdown. it's weird to think about how much our lives have changed the past 12 months. i invite you no journey back in time to take a look at what was in the news exactly one year ago this week. it's time for "this week in covid-19." >> this week in covid history! march 2020, week two, everyone's getting mask fever. n95 masks, gas masks, even masked singers. like former governor sarah palin

seen here singing about her moist alaska bottom. ♪ speaking of uncomfortable shaking, president trump shakes hands in florida. lots and lots of hands. but don't worry about that pesky coronavirus. >> we're doing a great job with it, and it will go away, just stay calm, it will go away. >> really? because it sort of feels like it's getting out of control. tom hanks got it. arenas are empty. people are buying tp like hotcakes. >> be calm, it's really working out. a lot of good things are going to happen. >> no reason to panic, just ask fox news. >> why the mass hysteria over the coronavirus? when it's far more lethal to have the flu? why, if the flu is by pure numbers much more dangerous why do you think there's this reaction that we see everywhere? >> the safest time to fly. >> all i know is things are looking up. >> the virus will not have a

chance against us. no nation is more prepared or more resilient than the united states. >> thank you for your confidence, mr. president. >> okay. >> this has been "this week in covid history." [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: all right, well, you know. all right. that happened. that happened to us here. it was real. that was a real thing. [ laughter ] it's game time. every now and then we pit junior versus senior in a battle of the ages to find out who knows more about the other's generation. we're doing it again in a remote edition of "generation gap." [ cheers and applause ] let's go to our returning champion from dover, delaware, say hello to acia hernandez, how are you? >> hi! >> jimmy: you were very good last time. have you been studying? have you been working? >> no. >> jimmy: no, you have not. >> not at all, nope. i didn't study last time, i did great.

[ applause ] that's why we call it

"generation gap." did you want to say hello to each other before we begin? >> hi. >> of course, hi. >> trying to take away my title. >> jimmy: trash talk here. i'm going to ask each of you a question from your opponent's wheelhouse or close to it. if you get it right, you get points. if you don't, the other person gets a chance to answer and steal. do you understand? >> yes. >> jimmy: let's play. lily, we will begin with you. what music star is nicknamed yeezy? >> easy? >> jimmy: yeezy. >> jeff easy. what's his name? >> jimmy: no, whatever you're thinking is wrong.

having them blurred or pixel lated. >> you wanted to protect them also. >> also protect them. it's really amazing that we've taken that technology that is usually considered to be something that's evil -- >> jimmy: this might be the first positive use of deep fake technology. this is probably going to be the only positive use of deep fake technology.

[ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah, it happens like once every 18 months now.

>> 18 months, one good idea. so it's like, how do you make it special to you and personal to you? a lot of it's the stories and what the recipes mean to you. but i'm from new mexico. julie's from alabama. so it's a lot of the. >> jimmy: there's your new mexico influence, the hatch green chili sauce. hatch green chilchiles, the bes ones come from new mexico, they come once a year. >> yep. >> jimmy: you have to stock up on them or else you're not getting them all year. >> you have to stock up on them, yep. there's homages to food we grew up eating. i realized making the book, there are a lot of recipes from the '80s that were done with canned soups. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: really? >> cream of mushroom soup in everything. it was delicious. but i'm like, not super fresh. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah, no. yeah, and probably not that delicious either, really. they poured it over the top. >> yeah, yeah. >> jimmy: you were supposed to be, that's good, mom. >> definitely not photographable. >> jimmy: this is delicious, mom. >> yeah. >> jimmy: yeah, what was going on?

i think because at that time our mothers were busy smoking and talking on the phone for most of the day. [ laughter ] >> that's true. >> jimmy: or was that just my house? i don't know. are you disappointed or relieved that you're not going on a book signing tour? >> i mean, it's sad not to, you know, be able to travel. but i am going to several independent bookstores in the area and signing their stock that they have. so that people can know there are signed books at these independent bookstores and hopefully give them a burst of business. not to say my book so is amazing it's going to drive all these people to the bookstore. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: it might. it's a good thing to do. >> couldn't hurt. >> jimmy: who taught you to cook? >> kind of myself. my mom is actually not bad in the kitchen at all. a lot of her recipes are -- versions of her recipes i updated for the book. >> jimmy: i see. >> my friend julie, really, who i wrote this book with, has been a real help for me. >> jimmy: what is the best meal you've ever prepared? if you think back on all the

meals you've prepared, which is the one that you remember just hitting it out of the park? >> for this -- my past anniversary with justin during quarantine, i ordered in caviar and champagne, then i made chicken fingers from the book. it was nice highs and lows. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: chicken fingers and caviar. >> it's amazing. >> jimmy: that's the thing, you can make a lot of things, a lot of things are really good, some things are expensive, but there's nothing better than chicken fingers. [ laughter ] >> truly. if i'm at a restaurant, can i see the kids' menu, see if there's chicken fingers on there? >> jimmy: kids will come over, i'm cooking for adurlt and is kids. i've learned not to make enough chicken fingers. because adults will eat the kids' chicken fingers. then nobody eats the meal that comes after it. >> right. and the kids are left with the french onion soup, and like, i don't want that! [ laughter ] >> jimmy: right.

i'm opening a can of cream and mushroom and pouring it over the top! [ laughter ] it's very good to see you.

they said they've seen some of the "the crown." now you're saying you saw none of their interview. [ laughter ] >> i know. i know, i need to watch it, i know. it's quite mad to think that they have actually seen it. that's something that you always imagined but sort of thought, they're probably too busy to watch it. >> jimmy: no, they have nothing to do. they literally have no jobs or nothing to do. [ laughter ] they're sitting in the yard waiting for oprah to visit. >> they've literally binged four seasons in one go. >> jimmy: it is funny, i guess it's better to -- in a way it's probably better for you not to see it because you don't really have to comment on it. i feel like maybe that's what they were saying. because we had a discussion here at the show. there's no way they started watching "the crown" and then said, ah, yeah, we're going to put a pin in that for a while. especially because it's about their family. if somebody made a show about my grandparents, i would watch it. [ laughter ] >> i know. >> jimmy: for sure. >> i know. well, a crazy life concept to

have a show made about literally your grandparents and their lives. and then i guess you know that yours is possibly upcoming. probably. >> jimmy: yeah, i think they're writing the next season themselves is what they're doing right now. [ laughter ] i do want to say congratulations on your nomination for a bafta. [ cheers and applause ] i believe it's today. we're in different time zones, obviously. is that -- you've been nominated for pretty much every award that has come out so far. are you paying close attention, or do they just pop up? do you know when the deadline is, do you know when the announcement is going to be made? >> no, never know when the deadline is. you'd go mad. no, i don't. i don't know. it comes up on my phone, and i've maybe been busy with something else, i haven't seen it. when the globes happend i was four hours late to seeing it. >> jimmy: oh, really? nobody texted you? to let you know? >> no, they did, i was just

doing something, busy, didn't look at my phone. i was late with it. >> jimmy: i think that says a lot about you that you're willing to put your phone aside for four whole hours. [ laughter ] >> i know, i know. i know, when you can't quite, you know -- you can't have it there. >> jimmy: yeah. >> then when you see it, obviously it's -- you know. it's all of it. surreal, jimmy. plus everything's virtual so it's a whole different thing. >> jimmy: that's right. you do -- you have a boston accent in the movie. and is that -- is that like the hardest american accent to do? >> it's -- no, but obviously -- because often you're the only british person in the whole cast. and i was particularly worried in this one about we had to do a 30-minute take straight through --

>> jimmy: for those who haven't seen it, this as one-shot, very detailed, shall we say, birth scene. and yeah, you can't mess that up. can you? >> you can't mess up. and also, it means that -- okay, so this is a rule with actors. if you have something emotional or you have to shout, more often than not, you tend to go into a natural accent. if you have a friend that speaks to their parents, they go into a more native accent. it's that sort of thing. so i worried about that. so i basically just had to stay in accent for about a month leading up to. >> jimmy: the whole month? >> the whole month. and i was staying with some family in new york before we went to film, because we were rehearsing in new york. i said, guys, i'm so sorry, but i'm going to have to stay in accent for the next few weeks. and so i became this different person. it's such a different sensibility, even. and obviously they've known me

for so many years, but it was so strange for them all because i would come down in the morning and i'd just -- so it was just -- it's a very cringy thing to do. [ laughter ] you always feel like such a lame duck, you know. but that was the only thing. because in the birth scene, i had to shout so much, and i had to -- >> jimmy: yeah. >> you know, i had to be completely free to be -- yeah. >> jimmy: do you feel like, do you feel now that you've gone through this filming experience -- i know you don't have a kid. do you feel more or less anxious to go through it in real life? >> yeah, i feel -- i feel like it was a little bit like a dress rehearsal. >> jimmy: uh-huh. >> you know? it was a bit like a really good dress rehearsal. >> jimmy: it was like an undressed rehearsal. did you go and sit in a delivery room to watch it happen, to get a sense of what happens? >> yeah. it's an amazing woman who

allowed me to spend many days in the labor world, we were crawling all over and the midwives were showing me -- these top obstetricians are showing me stuff. >> jimmy: and the women, the moms were okay with you being in there? >> no, well -- i didn't meet my moms until after. >> jimmy: oh. >> because we went coming in different afternoons. i'd always just miss them or whatever. my final day there, one of the midwives came around. she said, a lady's come in, she's 9 centimeters dilated, i'm going to ask if she wouldn't mind if you sat in. i thought, there's no sodding way that this lady, one of the most precious moments of her life, is going to let some random actress sit and be with her. >> jimmy: yeah, yeah. >> but jimmy, remarkably, she did. she said yes.

which is like the most generous thing ever. so i got my own -- i was in my scrubs. and i came and sat, sat down next to her. and she was already in full flow, full power. >> jimmy: yeah. >> she was really just in her complete animal primal stage. >> jimmy: it was the crown is what was happening. [ laughter ] >> it was the crown. and i was just so in awe of her. my mouth was just like -- just like watching her go on this journey for eight hours. and she was just incredible. and obviously then it was getting near the end, and forceps came, and she was just so brave, and she had no painkillers, and it was absolutely amazing. and i was shaking through the whole thing. i didn't go to the loo, i was glued to my seat. and then he came out. and it was just the most -- amazing moment i've ever experienced in my whole life. >> jimmy: did the baby recognize you when he came out? [ laughter ]

>> well, no, the baby didn't. but they did. and i think it was a very weird, surreal moment. >> jimmy: yeah, sure. >> i'm not that recognizable. i have different hair in "the crown." >> jimmy: uh-huh. >> it was only when the sort of haze from her disappeared that she peered at me and, you know -- as i approached she was like -- princess margaret? [ laughter ] i just thought, i'm so sorry. so sorry. i'm not her. but she was, you know -- she was amazing to let me be there. and i owe her so much. >> jimmy: the movie is called "pieces of a woman." it is on netflix now. vanessa kirby. thank you so much, vanessa.
