watching tonight. i'm ama de >> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live!" tonight -- heidi klum, mike epps, and music from madness. and now, jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: hi there. i'm jimmy. i'm the host. thank you for watching. thanks for looking me. thanks for everything. that's very kind. we have a lot to report tonight, and i want to start with an update on a story we went through last night. in houston, there was a bengal tiger on the loose, just strolling through a neighborhood. nobody knew whose tiger it was. until a man, who is out on bond for murder, showed up, grabbed the tiger, and fled the scene. the police chased the man briefly and then lost him, which is weird. last night it got weirder.

houston police tweeted, "update number 2: victor hugo cuevas --" that's the guy, "is in custody. the whereabouts of the tiger are not yet known." [ laughter ] sleep tight, kids! that's great. [ laughter ] anyone with information on the tiger is urged to contact hpd major offenders at -- they give the number. listen, if i see a tiger, i'm not dialing ten numbers. i'm calling 9, 1, and 1, and that's it. [ applause ] the lawyer for victor hugo cuevas is, as you might guess, a character. >> my client is not the owner of the tiger, he's not guilty of any crimes, and he's already been convicted. i don't know who has the tiger, but we did have information that would be helpful. >> jimmy: okay. [ laughter ] that was mysterious. and that's true, it's not his tiger, that means this guy showed up, grabbed a random tiger, loaded it into the back of his car, and drove away with it. [ laughter ]

which is much scarier than murder. [ laughter ] police are on the lookout for this suspect, who they warn may be in disguise. [ laughter ] this is one of his many aliases. you know, i've seen this movie before. i know how this goes. the police, or the fbi, are going to have to go to the only person who can catch that tiger. they're gonna have to let him out of prison. [ cheers and applause ] in order to catch a tiger, you must free the tiger king! [ laughter ] we have been through a lot over the past year, but this is good news for those who love shows and tunes. "hamilton," "wicked," and "the lion king" announced today that they are coming back to broadway. in new york. hakuna moderna! [ cheers and applause ] broadway is scheduled to reopen at full capacity on september 14th. a number of shows have announced their return, including "chicago," "the phantom of the opera," and "jagged little pill," but not "cats." i guess after a year and a half cooped up at home, people are like "enough with the cats."

[ laughter ] but that's very good news. after all this we've been through, it'll be nice to relax and watch alexander hamilton get murdered again. [ laughter ] here's another fun thing going on in new york. starting tomorrow, new yorkers will be able to get the vaccine at subway and train stations. sounds sterile. [ laughter ] just what the subway needed, more random band-aids and needles on the ground. [ laughter ] mayor deblasio announced a list of incentives to get people vaccinated including free food, free tickets to events, and the opportunity for one lucky vaccinee to be starting quarterback for the new york jets. [ laughter ] in north korea, turns out they don't even need the vaccine, because north korea claims they've had zero instances of covid-19. the government says they tested more than 25,000 people, and couldn't find a single case! north korea has a very effective strategy to keep covid at bay. whenever someone coughs, they feed him to a wolf. [ laughter ] jeff bezos has quite a project going. the founder of amazon is reportedly building a

$500 million super-yacht that is so big, it requires a "support yacht" to travel with it. this is the billionaire version of having a second fridge in your garage. [ laughter ] the yacht is 417 feet long. it's so big, the suez canal would get stuck in it. [ laughter ] when does the band come back? >> guillermo: monday. >> jimmy: monday, okay. [ laughter and applause ] i didn't know this. did you know jeff bezos made $75 billion last year. he makes more money every second than the average american worker makes in a week. every minute, he makes more than three average workers earn in a year. when he walks by atms, they just start shooting out money like confetti. [ laughter ] but is he happy? yeah, looks like he is. [ laughter ] here in california, caitlyn jenner is learning that running for governor isn't exactly like running in the olympics. she is polling at 6% in our

upcoming recall election, well behind two other republicans. do you know who those other republicans running are, ahead of caitlyn jenner? >> guillermo: no idea. >> jimmy: no one does. [ laughter ] none of them have any idea because none of them are on the e! network. caitlyn jenner is hoping to become our next governor even though she admits she did not vote in the last election. but she had a super solid reason for not going to the polls. >> i thought, the only thing in california i worry about that affects people is the propositions out there, and i didn't see any propositions that i really had one side or the other. and so it was election day. and i just couldn't get excited about it. and i just wound up going to play golf. and i said, eh, i'm not doing that. >> jimmy: she's going to be a great governor, huh? [ laughter ] instead of voting, she played golf. maybe she should be running for president. [ cheers and applause ] the pillow man, mike lindell,

has come out of hiding. lindell hosted a much-hyped rally for his new social media website last night at the corn palace theater in south dakota. it was a free show. tickets were free. some fans waited in line for seven hours to get in, only to find the venue half empty when they did get in. [ laughter ] they were expecting 30,000 people to show up, only 1,500 did. it was quite an event. mike treated the semi-crowd to 90 minutes of paranoid rantings about election fraud. and the music act was none other than former "saturday night live" cast member, joe piscopo! >> hey! zuckerberg! hey, jack dorsey! ♪ mike lindell is taking you out ♪ how about the japanese? can i do this? whoa! i'm sorry if that's racist, i apologize. ♪ some jewish guy talking sweet caroline ♪ ♪ i was born a white boy but i like to rap black ♪ ♪

♪ thanks for coming to the show but we gotta go ♪ >> jimmy: yeah. [ laughter ] joe writes out his set list on the back of the mapquest directions he prints out to get there. [ laughter ] what a night. not only was piscopo on the bill, they reached deep into the trump time machine to pull another great entertainer out of mothballs too. >> folks, we got a real treat. up here on the big screen and through the audio, we are about to be joined by the founder and chairman of the american cornerstone institute, secretary ben carson. [ cheers and applause ] he should be coming up on the screen any minute here. there he is, whoo! >> well, hello, everybody. >> jimmy: yeah. not too loud, you'll wake him up! [ laughter ]

please. ben carson on zoom is the south dakota equivalent of the tupac hologram. [ laughter ] he's the only one i miss. he really is. this is a funny story. this is also a true story. about a man named duston baker. one day, duston was taking a shower, and instead of his normal body wash, he picked up a bottle of menthol body wash and applied it to his undercarriage, which immediately created a burning sensation. now, a lesser man would have shed tears, but duston decided to turn menthol into menthol-ade, and wrote a song about the experience, which he now sings in the shower every day, and which his wife secretly recorded and posted on tiktok, where it has now been seen millions of times.

[ laughter ] >> jimmy: so when your butt was on fire, did you have a revelation? was that your "star is born" moment? [ laughter ] >> i did. i saw god for a little bit. and we had a chat. and he inspired me to write this song, you know what i mean? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah. take us through the songwriting process. is this something that you wrote down? >> no. so, like i said, you know -- seeing god, he inspired me to just write this in the shower as a reminder to myself, to maybe look at the bottle first before i just shoot it. >> jimmy: and how often do you sing this, every time you shower? >> every time i shower. [ laughter ]

>> jimmy: so riley, you decided that you wanted to get this for prosperity. you recorded it. and then did your husband know you were posting it? >> yes and no. i usually sit in there with him at the end of the day when we shower -- when he showers and stuff after work. and he happened to be singing that song. and i got it. and i showed it to him afterwards. and i was just like, i gotcha! and was like, by the way, if i happened to post it somewhere, would you be okay with it? he was like, oh, sure. because i have 25 followers on tiktok. >> jimmy: 25 followers. how many people have watched this song now on tiktok? >> i want to say about 8 million? [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: so really, when it comes to famous butts and music, it's like j. lo, megan thee stalli stallion, and you.

sometimes they say, "it might work, it might not work." and so i ask myself the question, like, "why even get the vaccine, if it can also harm you?" for me, it's like taking a 50/50 chance. hi andrea. some say that the vaccine is harmful or that it might not work, but that's not true. millions of people have been vaccinated with no ill effects. and i can tell you that getting the vaccine is far safer than not getting it.
