i'm ama daetz. >> and anthony mason dan ashley. for all of us, we >> dicky: from hollywood -- it's "jimmy kimmel live!" tonight -- david harbour, william jackson harper, and music from half alive. and now -- jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: hi, there. i'm jimmy. i am the host. thanks for watching. thanks for coming. [ cheers and applause ] i hope you had a good holiday weekend. can you believe it's june already? the reason i ask is because many, if not most, of our nation's newscasters can't. >> can't believe it's june 1st already. >> can't believe it's june 1st. >> yeah, right, already? >> can't believe that it's june 1st already. >> can't believe it's june 1st. >> can't believe it's june 1st. >> i can't believe it's june 1st today. >> i know, right? >> it's hard to believe. >> hard to believe today is the first day of the month of june.

>> hard to believe it's june 1st. >> hard to believe it's june 1st. >> hard to believe it's june. >> hard to believe it is june. >> i say that every month. >> i know, i know. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: wait till they find out it's not butter. did you have a good weekend? >> guillermo: yes, fantastic weekend. >> jimmy: can you believe it's june? >> guillermo: i know, i can't believe it's june already. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: by the way, i texted guillermo friday night. what are you eating? he wrote back, a tuna melt. [ laughter ] we went to the participate this weekend. i put almost enough sunscreen on my body. i got every zone kept for a patch right back here, just below my left shoulder. i missed that because my arms don't reach. which is a flaw in the human body, by the way. [ laughter ] your hands should be able to get at all the parts. but i couldn't. and now i have a bright red patch shaped exactly like the state of louisiana on my back. [ laughter ] other than that, i had a great weekend, and you know why? because i'm vaccinated. [ cheers and applause ] oh, what a joy it is.

[ rim shot ] walking around without a mask on. hugging people. i feel like a superhero. [ cheers and applause ] seriously, if you don't have a vaccine yet, go get one, it's the greatest. you're gonna be like, "why didn't i do this before?" you're going to be like, "i'm such an idiot." we'll be like, "yes, you're an idiot!" [ laughter ] and then you'll be free. travel was way up this weekend. the tsa screened more than seven million people, and that's another funny thing. you can get on a flight unvaccinated -- no problem. but god forbid you bring a full-size bottle of shampoo. you're going down. [ laughter ] i hope you remembered to remember what memorial day is about. those who gave their lives for our country. some did this weekend, and some did not. of all the many memorial day messages from presidents obama, biden, clinton, bush, and even trump. none stood out more than a tweet from vanilla ice, who wrote "happy memorial day, happy because we have the freedom to have a backyard cookout, sports, and sharing smiles. thanks to the soldiers. #happymemorialday" which is

fine, it's an okay message, were it not accompanied by this photo of a ninja turtle. [ laughter ] draped with the american flag. thank you for your service, dudes. [ laughter ] this is good, too. someone goofed on soon-to-be imprisoned congressman matt gaetz. they tricked him into retweeting a picture of lee harvey oswald by writing, "@mattgaetz congressman, my grandpa's a big fan of yours and is a veteran. he would be thrilled if you could retweet this photo of him for memorial day. here he is as a young private first class." and then once matt gaetz did retweet it, the grandson changed the name on his account is "matt gaetz is a pedo," which was up there on matt gaetz' account, so he took it down. he got mattfished! [ laughter and applause ] and our vice president, kamala harris, took some unfriendly fire from those who do not enjoy her work. conservatives, they really cranked the fake outrage knob up to 11 after this tweet. she wrote, "enjoy the long

weekend." ing if, the magaverse was fufr yus about this. former ambassador, nikki haley, called the vice president "unprofessional and unfit" for this tweet. this is the same nikki haley who said nothing when trump said he prefers war heroes who don't get captured. that was okay. no comment there. but tweeting "enjoy the long weekend." makes you "unfit." when the truth is, you know who's unfit? this guy is. [ laughter ] flabby gilmore. it is amazing that these people still appear in public. after what went on for four years. trump's old pardon pal, michael flynn, who admitted to lying to the fbi, who went to prison for it, aparty at what was essentially q anon-con this weekend. where he quite plainly supported an idea from a man in the crowd who asked why we don't just overthrow the government? keep in mind, the man onstage answering this question is a former general and national security adviser. >> from a simple marine, i want to know why what happened in

min-a-mar can't happen here. >> no reason. i mean, it should happen. no reason. that's right. >> jimmy: yeah, why what happened in min-a-mar. pronounced like "mini bar." myanmar is a country in southeast asia. back in february the military seized control, they refused to accept the results of the election there, so they organized a coup. thousands of protestors have been imprisoned, hundreds have been killed. and general liesenhower thinks we should do that here too. although, after it was suggested that he be court-martialed for that remark, flynn tried to walk it back. he wrote, "let me be very clear. there is no reason whatsoever for any coup in america, and i do not and have not at any time called for any action of that sort." except for this weekend, when you did it on video. [ laughter ] and the times you did it leading up to january 6th. maybe that's the bill gates microchip making him say that. [ laughter ]

maybe there should be a coup down at mee-an-mar-a-lago. [ laughter and applause ] according to maggie haberman of the "new york times," trump believes that he's going to be reinstated as president in august, after arizona finishes its cyber ninja "audit" of the election they're doing. which is so completely insane, and dumb, it has to be true. it just has to be. we'll know it's true for sure once we hear him deny it. [ laughter ] americans were back at the movies this weekend. "a quiet place 2" made $57 million. which is the biggest opening since the pandemic began. those who are fully vaccinated do not have to wear masks to the movies. but you don't have to show proof. it's done on the honor system. which has worked so well for movies for decades. [ laughter ] i can't even imagine someone sneaking into one of those! here in los angeles, public and private schools are expected to reopen in the fall for five days a week of in-person learning. which is great news for parents. also here in l.a., we saw this on the local news. you know that place where they

can't believe it's already june? yeah, the local news. [ laughter ] they ran a piece about a 2-year-old girl from monterey park who just became the youngest american ever to be admitted to mensa. the club for people with unusually high iqs. she passed the test. her iq was measured at 146. and we thought it would be fun to meet her. because she's 2. so joining us now, with her parents, sue and devon, please welcome a very brainy toddler -- kashe quest! [ cheers and applause ] and the quest family. hi, guys. >> hello. >> how are you? >> jimmy: hi, kashe, how are you? let me ask you guys, how did you end up with such a smart kid? >> i like to think it comes from me. >> jimmy: uh-huh. >> he might have a different perspective. >> jimmy: right, right. why did you decide to go to mensa once you realized kashe was very bright? >> well, it kind of occurred on our pediatrician visit. she was saying like 10-word

sentences at 18 months. >> jimmy: the pediatrician? [ laughter ] >> the pediatrician, kashe as well. they had a dialogue going on, we were just in the background, what's going on here? she said, get her checked out. it was kind of more -- not to validate here but to confirm. >> jimmy: gotcha. she doesn't have to hang out with those people at mensa, does she? [ laughter ] >> no. >> jimmy: are you excited to be at mensa? >> yeah. >> jimmy: i heard they gave you a card that you can show to people? >> yeah. >> jimmy: that's kind of exciting, isn't it? >> want to give mr. kimmel your card? >> show jimmy your card. >> jimmy: wow, how about that. i have a similar -- mine is, though -- mine is not a mensa card. mine is a gift card for the men's wearhouse. [ laughter ] would you like that? >> yeah. >> jimmy: yeah, you can buy yourself a nice pair of slacks. [ laughter ] so what's the most challenging thing about having a genius child? >> she's going to hold you accountable. >> jimmy: oh, ra el? >> oh, if you say, listen, baby,

ice cream friday. you better be there on time, ice cream, or she's calling you, she's facetiming you, and you're going to hear about it for a week. >> jimmy: she has a phone? >> she uses mom's phone. >> jimmy: what's your favorite flavor of ice cream? >> ice cream with m&ms. >> jimmy: is there any chance that's what made her so smart? [ laughter ] >> possibly. >> you never know, you never know. >> jimmy: what kind of stuff are you learning about, kashe? what do you like to learn about? >> trains. >> jimmy: trains are fun. i hear you know a lot about the elements, the periodic table. is that true? >> yeah. >> jimmy: i happen to know a lot about the elements. what's your favorite element? >> argon. >> jimmy: argon? i happen to know a lot about the elements too. i thought it might be fun if we had a little contest here to see who knows more about the elements, okay? >> yeah. >> jimmy: okay. all right. so your mom's going to show us some cards. is that how it works?

>> yep, i've got some cards and we're going to see who knows their elements. >> jimmy: okay, all right. >> let's see. >> jimmy: i hope it's me, kashe. >> the first one is to kashe. what is this one? >> lithium. >> jimmy: lithium is correct. [ applause ] >> next one is for mr. jimmy. here's yours. >> jimmy: okay. um -- >> calcium. [ laughter and correct. >> jimmy: that's what i was thinking, calcium. thank you, kashe, i needed a little help with that one. >> next one is for you, what's this one? >> potassium. [ applause ] >> that's correct. tell mr. jimmy what has potassium. >> bananas. >> jimmy: bananas, yes, they're delicious. yes, okay, all right. >> next one is for mr. jimmy. >> jimmy: hm -- >> chlorine.

>> jimmy: yeah, right, chlorine, i was going to say that but there's no "h." >> mr. jimmy -- >> i'm overthinking it, i'm overthinking it. kashe, i think you're winning so far. you've even answered my questions. okay. >> next one. miss kashe -- >> barium. >> barium is correct, good job,, and the next one -- >> >> jimmy: do you like being a genius? >> yeah. >> jimmy: do you get excited when you know the answers to things? >> yeah. >> jimmy: do you think the kids that you go to school with are silly? >> yeah. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: do you ever pick your nose and eat it? >> yeah. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: same here, same here. >> she's honest, she's honest.

>> jimmy: even though you have a super-high intellect, kashe, i know that you still love kid's stuff, like "frozen," right? >> yeah. >> jimmy: well, we have a very special surprise for you, because my friend guillermo went to arendelle last night. >> what? >> jimmy: we found all of anna and elsa's clothes. >> whoa! >> oh! >> jimmy: and you know what we did? >> wow! >> what are you doing? >> jimmy: isn't she beautiful? >> is she beautiful? >> yeah. >> jimmy: yeah, yeah. so all of these clothes are for you. practicing your elements and e - stuff like that. and secondly, we're going to send you to the happiest place on earth. do you know what the happiest place on earth is? besides the men's wearhouse? [ laughter ] the happiest place on earth is disneyland. [ cheers and applause ]

we're going to send you to disneyland. i think it's open now. if it's not open, i apologize, this is a terrible prank to play on a child. do you want to put this minnie mouse hat on? >> yeah. >> jimmy: all right, can i help you with that? all right, there you go. [ cheers and applause ] all right, there you go. >> what do you say? >> thank you. >> jimmy: thank you, kashe. hey, listen. when you figure out a cure for something, let us know, okay? we want to be in on that. [ laughter ] thank you, guys. congratulations on your little genius. i'm going to yell at my kids so much tonight when i get home.

[ laughter ] that's sort of the trope of our show. it's funny.

yeah, like we finished this season -- i guess it was march? of 2019? right? then it came out -- i'm getting a bit -- the years -- >> jimmy: right, it came out -- >> right before the -- yeah, 2019. we finished march of 2019. you know, i knew that i was going to be in this russian prison. then literally a month later, i got a call from marvel that they wanted me to play a guy who starts out, like in a russian prison. [ laughter ] and i was like, this is fantastic. i can't wait to see what twitter and reddit and all those guys do with it. so there's all these conspiracy theories, like hopper went to russia and then put on a super suit and now is the red guardian in this "black widow" movie. >> jimmy: wouldn't it be awesome if they tied those together? wouldn't it be better if they

doubled it up on and you banged those scenes up while you were there? >> it would make shooting easier, i'll get them on that. >> jimmy: you didn't suggest that? >> i haven't. >> jimmy: was one prison nicer than the other prison? was the marvel prison bug budget? >> yeah, a little more budget, yeah. i was on set, you know -- i'd grown out -- we finished the season in march, i grew out my hair, then i got cast in this other thing to play a russian prisoner. i had long hair, this beard, i was big. and i thought, i can't be the same guy with long hair and a beard in the same prison. i was, like, taking pictures of the set, unbeknownst to anyone, and sending them to the differ brothers, making sure they didn't use any of the same colors as the set, making sure the looks were different, the outfits were different. >> jimmy: really? >> yes, i department sending photos. finally at the end, you know -- i had all this hair this beard. we planned to do it that way. i was like, guys, we can't do this, i'm coming out with this

marvel movie, i can't have the beard and hair. we came up with a whole different look for it. we had him shave his head. >> jimmy: wow. >> this whole thing. >> jimmy: that's pretty crazy. that can't be a coincidence. youre making this story up. there has to be a connection, you're trying to derail it is what's going on. >> i would never do that with you. >> jimmy: which duffer brother do you like better? [ laughter ] >> the younger one. >> jimmy: the younger one? >> no, it's funny. they look exactly the same to me when i started. now they look so different, i don't even think of them as brothers. [ laughter ] they just have become completely different entities. >> jimmy: they are brothers, that's not another conspiracy? >> twin brothers, yeah. i like ross better. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: in "stranger things," you're hopper, you don't have a russian accent. but in this movie, you've got a russian accent. >> yeah. >> jimmy: "black widow." >> makes no sense. >> jimmy: it makes sense. >> no. >> jimmy: why?

>> it doesn't make sense. >> jimmy: why doesn't it make sense? >> i've had this discussion so many times. >> jimmy: i want to hear your logic. >> it doesn't make any sense. >> jimmy: okay, why? >> so he's russian. >> jimmy: yeah? >> in russia. >> jimmy: uh-huh? >> he'd be speaking russian. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: uh-huh? yes? >> so the entire movie should be me speaking russian with subtitles. >> jimmy: let them make their own marvel movies. for us, we get english. you know? because then everybody has to -- >> i know, it's not the best look for a marvel movie, like a pg-13. you just reading subtitles the entire movie. yeah, it was not well received by the producers when i brought that up. >> jimmy: you remember when tom cruise tried to kill hitler in that movie? and then he had like -- almost everyone had a german accent but he didn't have a german accent? >> i know. >> jimmy: maybe he went with your line of logic and he held strong. >> see? brilliant. i caved, though.

i do have a russian accent yeah. you've got to have a little russian something. >> jimmy: hey, listen, a russian accent is fun. i'm sure they're kind of happy. because you're a good guy. he's a good guy, right? >> yeah, he's a -- yeah. i mean, he's a very -- i mean, who's a good guy at heart, but he's definitely got problems. >> jimmy: when we come back, we're going to see a little bit of that and the problem.

>> jimmy: hi, there. welcome back. music from half alive is on the way. you know our next guest from "the good place," for which he was nominated for an emmy. his new show, "the underground railroad," is on amazon prime video. please welcome william jackson harper. [ cheers and applause ] hey, there, how are you doing? >> what's up, man? how are you doing? >> jimmy: doing very well, thank you. you look relaxed. is that the chair nobody else is allowed to sit in in your house? >> it kind of is. this is a holdover from my old roommates when we were camped out together. it's the one thing that's made it into the house with me and my girlfriend. >> jimmy: everything got whittled and pared down? yeah. >> dude, i owned a lot of trash for a long time. [ laughter ] this is the one that did make it. >> jimmy: that's a good-looking chair, yeah. i'm glad you got to preserve that thing. was there a fight between the roommates as to who got it?

>> no, no. i bought this chair. it was coming with me at all times. >> jimmy: i gotcha. >> yeah, i mean, it was a comfy chair. many a basketball game was watched in this chair. >> jimmy: do you friends call you will or william or bill? >> well, usually -- usually wil. but like my old roommates used to call me bill whenever they were attaching some kind of pejorative to it. if i was particularly out of shape, i was "soft bill." getting wild at the bar, "drunk bill." i was the old man at the apartment, "old man bill" a lot. whenever they were making fun of me. >> jimmy: now you're "dollar bill" and they're living with old furniture. [ cheers and applause ] most people know you from "good place" which you got nominated for an emmy. [ cheers and applause ] which must have been a bright light in the middle of pretty dark year as far as years go?

>> yeah, yeah. it was, yeah. last year was a crazy, tough year. it was tough -- it was tough for my dog. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: why was it -- >> having a hard time. >> jimmy: he was seeing too much of you? >> i'm sure it was part of it. got so bad, we contacted a dog psychic. [ laughter ] to sort of hash out what was going on with him. because he wouldn't let me pet him. he was acting like he was afraid of me and stuff. what's this all about? so -- >> jimmy: can i ask a quick question? is the dog psychic also a dog? [ laughter ] >> not that i know. >> jimmy: okay. >> at least over the phone. it sounded like a woman. >> jimmy: okay. >> but yeah, like she -- she had a long waiting list. i mean, obviously a lot of people were going through stuff

with their pets. [ laughter ] and actually, like the morning that i got the call that i got nominated, i was actually on a call with the dog psychic. [ laughter ] who had said, i'm going to get on the phone with chico, get him on line, he'll probably come over and his eyes will flutter, we'll go into a trance. i was like, this is not going to happen over the phone with a dog, it's not going to happen. she got on the phone. i swear to you, chico came out of his hutch, laid down on his bed, conked out, eyes fluttering. and then she was just sort of going through, you know, what was bothering him and whatever. she asked him to describe himself. he said he was athletic, then he corrected himself, "athletic enough." [ laughter ] at which point, my girlfriend and i knew that this was -- this

is our dog. [ laughter ] throwing down qualifiers. you know. that is a family member. >> jimmy: did chico have any idea that you were going to be nominated for an emmy that day? or was that not in chico's brain? >> i don't think -- i don't think he cared, no. >> jimmy: he didn't care, yeah. >> no, i mean -- as long as it doesn't -- if it doesn't come with like a piece of beef for him, he's unconcerned. [ laughter ] so, you know. he was just knocked out in his little trance, answering questions. >> jimmy: the dog psychic, she doesn't have the ability to pick up on you, on what's going on with your life? only the dog? >> only the dog. i'm sure she was reading me. but she didn't tell me, which i don't want to know what she saw. >> jimmy: may i ask how much this cost? what does it cost for a dog psychic? >> it costs too much damn money. [ laughter and applause ] >> jimmy: is it more than nothing is i guess what i'm

asking? >> yes. >> jimmy: then it was too much, yeah. [ laughter ] i'm sure you've seen online that a lot of people want you to play superman. [ cheers and applause ] >> yes. yeah. >> jimmy: by the way, even if you don't play interman, it's kind of awesome that people hear superman and think you should be super machine. i don't think there's a single person in the whole world that goes, oh, they're going to make a superman, jimmy kimmel would be great. [ laughter ] >> yeah, dude, no, it was like -- it definitely blind sided me. i mean, it came up -- i was doing another interview, and this guy was like, yeah, 55,000 likes. you go what? why? who knows me? you know? [ laughter ] then yeah i mean -- that would be dope, i mean, i would -- that would be the best thing that could happen to me. to be able to play superman. i don't want to do the diet. [ laughter ] and the exercise. >> jmmy: oh, yeah, right. >> you know. >> jimmy: do you think there's anything to you wearing glasses

in "the good place" and then people going, oh, yeah, he could take those off and be superman? [ laughter ] >> i mean, i think so. >> jimmy: yeah. >> that's got to be on the -- the explanation, you know? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: because i mean, otherwise, i mean, i'm just a nerdy professor dude. i don't know. >> jimmy: your new show, barry jenkins, the oscar-winning director, he directed this show based on a pulitzer prize-winning novel. do i have this correct? >> yeah. >> jimmy: you're getting fantastic reviews for this. are you looking at that sort of thing? >> you know, somewhat. you know, i'm always curious what people are -- how people are taking it, you know. but yeah, not -- not too much. >> jimmy: do you put your glasses on when you look at those reviews? [ laughter ] this is kind of cool too. this is a picture of you looking at yourself in new york -- [ laughter ] on a billboard.

who took this picture? >> my girlfriend, allie. i actually saw some of my other castmates had posted that, you know, that there was a billboard in times square. that's one of those things that as an actor moving to the city you're like, you know, you have that dream, one day i'm going to be there! within a month you're sort of like, or i'll just take a job. [ laughter ] and so, like, having that actually happen, it was just like one of those things, she was like, we got to see that, man. >> jimmy: yes, sure. >> yeah, we got to see that live. >> jimmy: am i incorrect in saying that it looks to me like you didn't even actually stop? that you were just kind of walking? [ laughter ] >> i -- i kind of tried to. my girlfriend definitely made me stay and look. there was a couple with me facing the camera which looked corny as hell. [ laughter ] let's just do the one where we're just looking, and that's

much more tasteful. >> jimmy: well, congratulations on all these fantastic things. happening to you and to your dog, chico -- [ laughter ] to everybody, really.
