tv   Jimmy Kimmel Live  ABC  April 19, 2021 11:35pm-12:37am PDT

11:35 pm
from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live!." tonight riz ahmed and andra day. and now jimmy kimmel! >> jimmy: oy, thank you, thank you. hi, everyone. i'm jimmy. i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. thank you for joining us on what was one of the least productive days we've had here at our office in quite some time. because mike lindell, the mypillow guy, with whom i am obsessed, launched his new website and is now about a third of the way through a 48-hour live yell-a-thon. he's planning to broadcast live for 48 straight on his new social media site, frankspeech.com.
11:36 pm
and you know, a lot of people said the ceo of a pillow company couldn't successfully launch a major social media site and those people were 100% correct. it is really -- i highly recommend it. it is quite a spectacle. if you're high, i recommend it. it's like the jerry lewis telethon if jerry was on a public access channel and crack. it's quite a production. phones were ringing, crank calls were pouring in, the lights went out, he kept ranting and raving about the same things over and over again. machines, vaccines, and me. >> i said we're not going to let you use the "n" word, the c word, the f word, or use god's name in vain. you know what? right away, jimmy kimmel grabbed that, mocked me, and then he mocked me by being a crack addict. anyway, it's horrific. jimmy kimmel gets on tv and makes a joke out of this launch. he goes back to my drug days, says it's a wonder i have any
11:37 pm
teeth left. >> you know, jimmy kimmel bashed me the other night. he says this ex-crack addict, it's a wonder he has teeth. you know, i talked about my crack addiction, made fun of that, and basically slamming addiction shaming people. you know, shaming the american dream, jimmy kimmel. >> jimmy kimmel went on tv and had a conniption. he goes can you believe mike lindell's coming up. we don't know why he is doing that. he should stick to pillows. >> and then he says mike's platform, you can't use god's name in vain. and nobody laughed in his audience. jimmy, your jokes aren't funny anymore, because you know what? people have sense now. >> and i'm sorry, jimmy kimmel. you won't get to use god's name in vain. >> i'm praying for jimmy kimmel. i go on your show, jimmy and all you late night hosts who sit here and mock people and mock things. >> jimmy: he's right. thanks for all the shout outs. here's something. you think he is really praying for me?
11:38 pm
like honestly, you think when he said his prayers before bed, he actually named me? guillermo, what do you think? >> guillermo: i don't think so. >> jimmy: maybe he did. mike lindell doesn't seem to understand, i'm his biggest fan. i have no idea what he is doing, but i love it. i am enjoying it. of course i would have him on our show. under two conditions. number one, he has to actually come into our studio. i need to see him in person. i want to smell the knockwurst in his mustache. and number two, i would like to conduct our interview in a bed, surrounded by pillows. just me and mike snuggled up in a california king surrounded by sacks of goose feathers. seems reasonable, right? he's gonna need a break. he's been going non-stop since 7:00 this morning. in 17 hours, he's taken maybe two breaths. at one point he claimed they had 75 million people watching. even trump was like, "oh, please, quit exaggerating."
11:39 pm
the fact that anyone watching, besides me, of course, is a miracle. this was supposed to be the big sign-up day but when you went to the sign-up page, this is what you got. an error 502. but once they did finally get going lindell blamed the technical difficulties on enemies both foreign and domestic. >> we're under the biggest attack in history. we're getting death threats and everything else. frank speech, if you can't come in, they're trying to turn our power off. they're attacking our power grid here. i have been attacked. our country has been attacked. everyone out there has been attacked. these are the kind of attacks we're getting, everybody. they're even trying to attack the phones, everybody. we were attacked by every country. >> part of this attack on this country. >> they're attacking my country -- >> they act i attacked frank. the biggest attack. they're attacking us. they're attacking us. they attacked us. we were attacked. huge attack. now they attack.
11:40 pm
it's going to be the biggest attack ever. >> jimmy: how is he going to do this for thirty more hours? irhope he has a doctor on standby. i looked up some of the long-term effects of using crack cocaine. crack cocaine abuse may cause the following mental or emotional problems. aggression, extreme depression, delirium, hallucinations, irritability, mood disturbances, panic attacks, paranoia, psychosis, and launching your own social media site. i don't know. i'm not a doctor, but mike lindell is not going to be able to do this alone. this is a huge undertaking. but fortunately, he has a lot of very high profile celebrity friends. >> we have ted nugent coming on. ted, you there? >> i got you, mike. happy springtime to you, and thank you for being on the front lines for freedom. we salute you. >> my great friend ben carson here. ben, thanks for coming on. >> hey, mike, i'm so glad to be here with you. >> hey, hold on here.
11:41 pm
we got scott baio, my good friend. scott, are you there? >> mike, how you doing, my friend? >> hello, everyone. >> oh we have the president here, our real president, everyone. hello, mr. president. >> not going to dot com bitches. >> sorry, folks. see what they're doing? they're attacking us. >> jimmy: more attacks. poor guy. he was so excited. hopefully the real trump will call in. hopefully a dozen fake trumps and then the real trump will call in. and by the way if you get through to mike lindell and he thinks donald trump is on the line, go with it! don't just scream your website out. milk it! you set the hook, now reel him in! i want to thank mike lindell for providing us with a lot of new stuff and wish him the best of luck with delusia-palozza. and welcome him on my show, as long as he meets both conditions. >> guillermo: that's right,
11:42 pm
jimmy. >> jimmy: while we're on the subject, things filled with drugs, there was an unusual drug bust in houston. a traveler was stopped at the airport with asuspicious burrito in his carry-on bag. the x-ray revealed a suspicious lump. so the tsa opened it up and found a bag of crystal meth. in the burrito. some people wake up with a cup of coffee. others choose a burrito full of meth. who are we to judge? i would smuggle my meth in a cinnabon. you get a lot more in. president biden over the weekend took some time out to play golf. his first round of golf since taking office in january. and of course he was criticized for it, even though by comparison, at this stage of his presidency, donald trump had already logged 19 rounds of golf. he was essentially a player on the senior pga tour who occasionally violated the constitution. but this has got to be this is when trump is most furious about being banned from twitter. i mean, the chance to post an almost unfathomably hypocritical tweet criticizing biden for playing golf one time after he
11:43 pm
basically spent his entire presidency on the course, after repeatedly attacking obama for playing golf. i mean, it is literally and figuratively teed up for him, but he is not able to do it. trump, biden, obama, bush, clinton, they're all golfers. our last five presidents. all golfers. why do they all play golf? what is it? wouldn't it be refreshing to hear about a president unwinding with a nice round of skee ball for a change? as of today every american who is 16 or older is eligible to get the vaccine in every united states state. presidents biden and obama appeared together in a star-studded special on nbc last night urging americans to get the shot. almost no one watched the special. it had very low ratings. why would we? we already had a special to promote the vaccine it's called "the news for the past thirteen mnths." but lots of people including half of republican men just do not seem to get it. which has many people including
11:44 pm
dr. fauci confused. >> on the one hand, they want to be relieved of the restrictions, but on the other hand, they dent wantto get vaccinated. it just almost doesn't make any sense. >> now we're supposed to make sense? when will this madman stop trying to control us? listen, let's call vaccine hesitancy what it really is "willful stupidity." and we've got a lot of it. which could mean a whole new round of this virus. so the white house is pulling out all the stops to try to sell young people on getting their shots now that they're eligible. and part of that plan is to put dr. fauci on snapchat. not kidding. what better way to get people vaccinated than an 80-year-old infectious isease specialist vomiting rainbows? >> we all want normalcy in america. the highway to that normalcy is vaccination. very similar to what israel has done and is doing. we can get there, and every
11:45 pm
single day, as we get three to four million people vaccinated, we get closer and closer to that normalcy. >> jimmy: that's how you do it. you know, dr. fauci says by fall we will find out whether or not we'll need to get a third shot, a booster shot to protect against the new variants of the virus. this vaccine is going to be like the iphone. there'll be an update every year and you're going to hate the friends who get it before you. in order to stop covid, we need i have a plan, guillermo. >> guillermo: okay. >> jimmy: you know a lot of guys don't want to get the vaccine. >> guillermo: yes. >> jimmy: why do you think that is? goypz because th >> guillermo: because they're afraid? >> jimmy: i don't think they're afraid. well, i'm not telling you what i think. i think it's because it's a macho thing. i don't need the vaccine. it's some sort of sign of weakness. >> guillermo: i got it. and i'm macho. i'm a guy. >> jimmy: you are a macho.
11:46 pm
there you go. >> guillermo: yeah, i got it. >> jimmy: he is a macho. we got a macho sitting right here on the stool. >> guillermo: my house. >> jimmy: got a whole plate of machos over there. anyhow, i don't think a tv special or putting dr. fauci on snapchat is going to do anything to convince people who -- these men who don't want to get a shot. there is a lot of disinformation out there. and i think the cdc should stop trying to appeal to common sense and embrace it. >> hello. i'm dr. dan bodansky. despite what you may have read online, the available covid vaccines are very safe and very effective. but in some case, men who get the covid vaccine may experience side effects that result in penile growth to the tune of three, four, and some patient morse than five inches.
11:47 pm
in other words, whip it out, swing it around, it's salami time! ♪ >> this has been a message from the united states centers for disease control and prevention. hanging low, yo. >> jimmy: there you go. that's how you sneak to men, all right? hey, we've got a good show for you tonight. andra day is with us. she will be chatting and singing. and we'll be right back with another oscar nominee, riz ahmed. so stick around. ♪ >> abc's "jimmy kimmel live!" brought to you by verizon. every phone i've owned. defind (vo) you broke your phone. so verizon broke the rules. for the first time ever, new and current customers can trade in their old and damaged phones for up to $1,000 off our best 5g phones. my phone is old, very old.

states versus billie holiday, and she has a new song called "phone dies." andra day is here with us. this is not upside down. it seems like it is upside down, but it's not. i'm told it's not upside down. we have quite a week this week, new shows with ellen degeneres, billie joe armstrong, eric andre, gal gadot, and former president george w. bush, with music from maroon 5, kaleo, and brad paisley with jimmie allen. so please join us for all of the star-studded lineup. our first guest tonight is an emmy-winning actor, rapper, and the first riz to ever be nominated for a best actor oscar. the film is called "sound of metal" it's on amazon prime video now, say hello to riz ahmed. hey, riz, how you? [ cheering and applause ] congratulations. good to see you. so riz, i don't know if you remember, you were here talking about this movie like a year
11:53 pm
ago, maybe more than a year ago. we premiered the trailer for the movie here on the show. and now as a result of us premiering that trailer on our show, you got six academy award nominations. so welcome, i don't know. >> we owe you everything. i knew you would come back looking for payment at some point. got away with it. jimmy kimmel, yeah, come back, pay me. thank you for your support. it feels like such crazy journey, you know. >> jimmy: yeah. >> because, i don't know, just to be here in this position to have these six nominations for a film that we made against the odds and so close to all of our hearts. it's an amazing feeling. >> jimmy: when you got nominated for best actor, who is the first person you called to let them know? >> my parents. >> jimmy: parents, yeah. right. that's the way to go. >> well, my parents. to be honest, they were already
11:54 pm
awake, so they kind of let me know. it was a pointless phone call really. >> jimmy: i want to share a tweet you posted after the nomination was announced. you wrote "my cousin adnan legit didn't know what the oscars were." why all the guests? i want best client engagement award for the financial quarter. other cousin steps in, nah, it's not as big as that because he didn't win anything. it's more like getting an email from your boss. thanks, boss. i don't know what's going on with your cousins, but i would say i'd maintain this is absolutely nothing like getting an email from your boss. >> kind of similar, i guess. >> jimmy: are they serious or are they goofing? >> no, this is a real thing. this really happened. i should put it in context. it's the only cousin of mine, relative of mine, only human being i know who doesn't know what the oscars are, to be fair. you know, it's good.
11:55 pm
it keeps you grounded. it's actually like a family zoom. my sister had organized. every now and then, we have a big family so we do a group zoom we start in the pandemic. so we did that. my sister goes it will be a chance to congratulate rizwan. and no big deal. no one organized a group zoom when i. >> jimmy: i got the front parking space at my office. and did you congratulate him on his client engagement award? >> that's a really good point. i feel that we should do that now. >> jimmy: you know what? yes. or maybe you want the save it for the acceptance speech? maybe. [ laughter ] >> just shout at adnan. he really deserves all the -- best client engagement. >> jimmy: so your family has mixed feelings about the whole
11:56 pm
thing i guess. >> my family, my family is support and happy. so is adnan. he just didn't know. that's cool in a way, right? to keep you grounded. i feel like this whole awards season has been really, really grounded in a positive way. i'm here, i'm on jimmy kimmel, i'm talking to you. as soon as this is done, i got to go wash the dishes. i'm in my pajamas. >> jimmy: riz, there is grounded and then there is too grounded. and i think your cousin hit the too grounded area there. by the way, the movie is great and you are fantastic in the movie. i've been telling a lot of people to watch it. you know, i wish this movie, i wish most people would see it in a movie theater because it is the sound part of it is so important. so hopefully people have good television speakers at home. but one of the things that you did is you learned -- you had to learn sign language, american sign language in order to play
11:57 pm
this role because your character's losing his hearing. and how long did it take you to learn? how long does it take to learn? >> i mean, it's like any language. you can keep learning, right? you know, i have to say, this film works on multiple levels because on one level, yeah, it would be great if you got great sound system, you want to listen on headphones. but this film is also made for deaf audiences. so every print of this film is captioned, you know, universally so deaf audiences can also enjoy it. and also, there are bits of the film where i'm just speaking in sign language, and there is no subtitles. and that's just for deaf audiences. so hopefully the film brings those two audiences together and caters to both of them as well. but i learned sign language for seven and a half months with my sign instructor jeremy lee stone who is an amazing dude. >> jimmy: i heard he is the best. >> jeremy is brilliant, man. he is somebody who taught me american sign language, but he also taught me a lot more than
11:58 pm
that. i feel like hanging out with the deaf community taught me what listening really is. and i feel like deaf people and the deaf people that were mentoring me at the time preparing for this film are the best listeners i've ever met, because this thing is about your attention, about your focus, about holding facing space for else's energy. jeremy taught me a great deal and ned into the character and in a way changed my life as a human being just the way that i commute. >> jimmy: that's very interesting. it's easy to mess up, because many of the words and the letters, they look very similar. did you have any problems? were there any times where people didn't know what you were saying? >> it's a very rich and complex and beautiful language, and when you're learning any language, you can screw it up. actually, my director, darius moder, he screwed up really
11:59 pm
badly, every day on set actually. we had a lot of defectors and we had interpreters, and i was on and off camera speaking in sign language at that point. i was more fluent. so darius would come and join the party. and he would go up to people. and he thought he was saying "nice to meet you." but he was actually saying nice to [ bleep ] you. >> jimmy: and what is the difference? -- i wonder -- you know what? i wonder if you said that, if we'd have to blur out your hands. >> i'm not doing it. i'm not doing it. >> jimmy: oh, what's nice. >> i'm not doing it here right now. >> jimmy: what's nice to -- >> nice. nice, it's like nice. >> jimmy: nice to and then you go like this? [ laughter ] oh is something wrong with this? >> now that you mention it, it must have been slightly intentional.
12:00 am
>> jimmy: you never know. we're going to take a break. riz ahmed is with us. the movie is "the sound of metal." we'll be right back. ♪ >> portions of "jimmy kimmel live!" are brought to you by dr. pepper zero sugar, the zero you deserve is finally here. yeah. i missed the bus.

12:06 am
marriage, yes? >> that's a weird way of labeling it. >> jimmy: yes, it is. yeah. >> it's just a covid -- it's a game through lockdown. yes. it's just covid -- as soon as covid is done. marriage. >> jimmy: did you think about that? did you think well, maybe in the middle of this pandemic, did it give you pause and make you think maybe i should wait? or maybe it's better to move faster because who knows what's going to happen? >> so i guess one thing that was good about getting married in lockdown is it gives you a really good excuse for not having a really being wedding. >>jimmy: oh, that's true. >> you know what i mean? >> jimmy: you don't have to invite cousin adnan to your wedding, you know. sorry, dude. >> i'd love to invite you, bro, but yeah.
12:07 am
that's the good upside to it. >> jimmy: yeah, right. yeah. did you have a very small wedding then, i assume? >> yeah, it was very small. it was like in the backyard. it was very chill, very intimate. not many people there at all. just like, you know, very immediate family. and to be honest, it was kind of beautiful for that reason, you know. it was very relaxed, very intimate, and you didn't have to worry about making sure hundreds of guests are okay and loads of randoms just knock about. is that -- did we invite that person? who is that? i thought that was your cousin. that my cousin? >> jimmy: were you able to make it a surprise, or was it a surprise, your proposal? >> i thought you meant the wedding. >> jimmy: oh, no. >> surprise, we're getting married today! >> jimmy: she thought she was headed out for a barbecue. >> who's shaggy now. >> jimmy: no i was talking about
12:08 am
the proposal itself. >> i think she thought it was a joke. because we went into the park. it was one of the few things you could do at that point in the lockdown, and we were kind of having a little picnic. and i popped the question. and she looked up and was like you're joking. and maybe the way i proposed didn't, you know, didn't help. because she's a novelist. she is amazing with words. so she loves a bit of scrabble. so we were actually playing scrabble and i did that corny thing where i stole all the letters up front and i spelled it out. >> jimmy: i love that i like that. is that corny? >> nice and corny. >> jimmy: i never heard of anyone doing that before. >> well, maybe. really? >> jimmy: no. have you? do you know of people doing that before? >> after this, i hope everyone is going to be doing it. >> jimmy: well sure, now. but you're a trendsetter is what you are. you didn't have a bachelor party then, i guess. >> no. i had a bachelor zoom.
12:09 am
>> jimmy: a bachelor zoom. god only knows what that was. with your friends, i hope. >> no, i just sent out a link into the ether, anyone who wants to join, jump in. >> jimmy: would it be bad form to have a bachelor party after the wedding? >> a great idea. i like where you're headed with this. let's do this. >> jimmy: listen, here's what we're going to do. next time you're back here in studio with us, guillermo and i are going to take you next door to hooters, and who knows what will happen. we'll invite the hollywood boulevard super heroes. everybody will be there. it will be good times. you need -- yeah, that one you are owed, i think. well, congratulations on your marriage and your oscar nomination. a very exciting. i wish you a lot of luck on sunday night. the movie is great.

>> jimmy: there, right? >> yeah. it's a little chaotic. >> jimmy: who would be the worst person for you to forget? >> well, like lee. that would suck. everyone else, thank you. no, who would be the worst person? lee would be the first. billie, probably. or just [ bleep ] them. i'm not going to say anybody. >> jimmy: who will you bring to the oscar show with you? >> i'm actually either bringing my older sister or my younger brother. i'm going let them box it out. actually, i'm going to do who gets me the best gift. >> jimmy: i like that idea. i like that idea. a gift, you should have a presentation ceremony on like saturday. >> that's good. >> jimmy: you get the gift, and then you will decide between the two of them. >> yeah, yeah, exactly. >> jimmy: or we could let america decide. you can go on the internet and take the pressure off yourself entirely. >> yeah, i love my family a little bit too much for that. >> jimmy: so not mom, dad? not coming? >> no. you know, mom, try to like
12:19 am
basically kind of keep track of how many times each family member has been to an event. my mother has been. my father has been. they've all been to the white house or the grammys. and my father -- actually, my father one year at the grammys, he met adele. he was just backstage chilling with adele right before she was about to go on. and he blurts out my daughter is andra day. and she looks over you must be so proud. she is really famous. i'm going let him cool his jets a little bit before this event. >> jimmy: it's funny. we expect our parents and people around us to stay cool in those situations. but cool is something, there is a hardening that goes on. >> like right now. i probably look pretty collected. >> jimmy: you do. you seem very cool right now. you're not? >> not to look behind me. >> jimmy: speaking of playing it cool, i didn't know this, that
12:20 am
you in a way -- would it be fair to say stevie wonder discovered you? >> yeah. i mean, well, okay. the fair thing to say is that kai miller morris, stevie wonder's wife at the time discovered me. she actually saw a clip of me singing. i was just singing in front of this strip mall in malibu. it was like a shoe store or something like that. >> jimmy: and she happened to pawn it? >> there is somebody i was working with at the time. and he happened to pawn her in a pastry shop. okay. i still don't know if i believe this story. but it's fine. it's the only one i have. but yeah, he happened upon her in a pastry shop. and she liked my voice and played it for stevie and he liked it and orchestrated a call. ly never forget that moment. it felt like a meteor hit my -- not even my house, my whole world. i was living behind a 7-eleven to the right of a dumpster. i know. >> jimmy: and stevie wonder called to say i love you, i guess. >> brett much, yeah.
12:21 am
those three words. we can do this all night, actually. >> jimmy: and have you got off the phone, your head must have been spinning. >> yeah, to be honest with you, i can't remember everything that happened because i was just sort of in a daze. all i remember specifically was that he had one song like a specific song that i think this would be great to write with you. and then i remember thinking that's a really long title. and then the other thing is he asked me what my sign was. oh, for real? cool, we're doing this. i'm a capricorn. so, yeah. >> jimmy: he wanted to make sure that the zodiac. good thing it matched up. >> yeah, spent a lot of time in his studio together. but apparently nobody likes cap corns. >> jimmy: oh, is that true? >> yeah. >> jimmy: why not? >> i looked at one of those compatibility things. and it was like this person's matched with this and this matches with this. and this -- everybody is somebody out there is like girl rising and moons. no, i know y'all disappointed in me right now. but i looked at it.
12:22 am
it was capricorns are compatible with capricorns. i was like damn. >> jimmy: that's it? >> when's your birthday? november 13th.a scorpio.- >> all right. we'll see how that works out. >> jimmy: i feel like we're getting along. >> i do. i think so. yeah. >> jimmy: what is the next step? how long before you see stevie wonder after that telephone call? >> it wasn't that long, honestly. they set up a dinner. we were at a dinner -- was it mr. charles? nah. i don't know. but the food was really good. and i had never had food this good before. this was definitely a rich restaurant. i wish i could have remembered it. yeah, so we had a dinner. he introduced me. ultimately, he introduced me to the actually, oh my god, i'm tripping. it was a lot of time in between that, because the person i was working with unfortunately at the time was not the most forthright person. so i got the message that i wasn't good enough or they didn't like me. and i said okay, cool, you know. >> jimmy: after the dinner? >> no, no, this is before the dinner. >> jimmy: oh. >> and so then they actually
12:23 am
held on to my information and reached out the me a year later and we really hope you're still interested. what i heard was not the truth. and then we had the dinner and he introduced me to adrian who did my first album. a journey for sure. >> jimmy: how about that. have you had a chance to sing with stevie? >> yeah we sang together a few times at madison square garden. we also sang at the staples center. it is the most nerve-racking experience ever. it's just like -- because fist of all, his songs are not easy to sing. they seem -- okay. i'm just going to say this. this isn't rude, you know what i mean, for those who know they can sing, great. for those who know they can't, you know you can't. but for a layperson singing maybe. but for somebody who really knows music, you know the chorus is so complex. it was just incredible. i was trying not to mess it up. >> jimmy: well, you're going to do a song for us tonight. i just want to tell you, when someone from your record company texted this to our music producer, he thought he'd
12:24 am
accidentally sent something he shouldn't have. >> oh! got a special text from miss day. okay. >> jimmy: the new single is called "phone dies." >> yes. >> jimmy: and "the united states vs. billie holiday" is on hulu now if you want to wath. this oscar nominated performance. thanks for being here. you're going to sing when we come back. andra day. we'll be right back. ♪ >> this on jimmy kimmel gadot, jimmy kimmel and brad paisley, maroon 5 and kaleo. that's this week on jimmy kimmel. not everybody wants the same thing. that's why i go with liberty mutual — they customize my car insurance so i only pay for what i need.
