watching i'm ama daetz. >> and i' >> announcer: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live!" tonight, quentin tarantino, iliza shlesinger, and music from lukas nelson & promise of the real. and now, jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: oh, that's very nice, thank you. look at this. great to be here tonight. i'm jimmy. i'm the host. thank you. it's been a long time. that's right. this is our second night with a half-full -- is this audience half-full or half-empty? i guess that depends on how you look at life. really. we have 89 vaccinated people in our studio audience. [ cheers and applause ]

it's weird having half an audience. it's like thanos snapped his fingers and killed the rest of you. speaking of thanos,we got an interesting bit of tid. this morning, about the former president of the united states. the orange one. you remember him? [ laughter ] the daily beast says that, in 2019, donald trump wanted the government to investigate, guess who, guillermo? me. >> why? >> jimmy: look at this, "according to two people familiar with the matter, trump asked advisers and lawyers in early 2019 about what the federal communications commission, the courts systems, and most confusingly to some trump lieutenants. the department of justice could do to probe or mitigate snl, jimmy kimmel, and other late night comedy mischief makers." [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ]

i don't them probing me. can you imagine that? president snowflake asked to send the authorities in to stop us from making fun of him. not only that, he wanted to make guillermo pay for the wall. [ laughter ] >> no way, no way, no way. i no paying for nothing. >> jimmy: the report goes on to say "to those who heard it, trump's inquiries into what federal regulations could be used to bust the likes of kimmel and snl was more of a nuisance than a constitutional crisis." to me it feels more like a crisis than a nuisance, i don't know. little did i know, i'm up here goofing on him, he's asking the feds to do who knows what? and when he was told there was no legal case to be made, trump can't stop comedians from making fun of you if your president trump asked, "can something else be done about it?" basically, trump wanted to turn the department of justice into -- remember on the old "batman" show, when the penguin had those henchmen in the bowler hats and tight black shits? this is what trump wanted. a goon squad. a bunch of tough guys to go

rough people up. because he can't take a joke. he can make one. in fact, he's made several, eric, ivanka, don jr. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] but he can't take one. and by the way, this happened near the beginning of the year, right around the time he had a summit with kim jong-un. maybe he got the idea from him! i could be dog food right now. [ laughter ] i'd be like, "alec baldwin is the one you want!" anyway, thanks for watching, just about ten minutes ago before the show, they released the statement, trump did, that said the story i asked the department of justice to go after ratings challenge with "saturday night live" and other late-night losers is total fake news. he goes on to insult alecalec baldwin with that said i do believe the shows should be considered an illegal campaign contribution from the democratic

party, do you think said it guillermo? >> i think he did. >> jimmy: of course he did. anyway, thanks for watching, mr. former president. maybe i'll send you a hoodie. you still a triple xl? [ laughter ] [ applause ] i don't know how he released statements any more because he's banned from twitter or facebook or instagram anymore, they kicked him off, but he still has a phone and a bunch of fox news wannabes, that don't screen his calls. trump dialed into the real america voice news network, never heard of it either, [ laughter ] and you're not gonna believe this, turns out, he's still running for president. >> headlines were about you said we didn't win, is that an accurate headline, did you admit defeat. >> no i never admitted defeat. we have a lot of things happening right now. i think that was an election -- i don't think -- all you have to do is read the newspapers and see what's coming out now.

now the word is concede, i have not conceded. >> i am conceited conceded. he definitely doesn't give up! we also learned today, that between march of last year and march of this year, 881 secret service employees tested positive for covid. gee, i wonder where they got it? here in the u.s., more than 45% of the population is fully vaccinated which is not enough, and that's mostly thanks to young people. according to the cdc, 18 to 24-year-olds are the age group least likely to get vaccinated and most unsure about getting a shot. because they read nothing but crap on tiktok. i guess [ laughter ] and i get that, 18-24-year-olds when you're that age, you think they're invincible, but we're talking about the same generation that can't have peanut butter & jelly in their lunchbox. okay. they are definitely not invincible. [ laughter ] the bottom line is we are a country full of dumbs! at&t does this every year, they release a map of the most commonly misspelled words, by state.

and we had a new top dog this year. "quarantine." which is often spelled as "corn teen." [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] remember "the children of the corn?" that's what happens when they hit puberty. there are a lot of common number ones. "coronavirus," "believe," "which." people have a problem spelling. and this should come as no surprise, florida's is, by far, the weirdest. in florida, they most consistently misspell the word, "pharaoh." who is even googling pharaoh, that's got to be trump googling," how do i become an egyptian god?" i actually looked it up. turns out florida is infested with an insect called the "pharaoh ant." these are invasive ants that, every time you spray them, the colony splits, and doubles, one nest becomes two nests. two nests become four nests. in other words, yet another charming reason to go to florida. what i don't understand is, how

is the most misspelled word in every state not "diarrhea?" [ laughter ] between "diarrhea" and "hannukah," forget about it. all right now we have a follow-up segment for you tonight. i mentioned this on the show a few weeks ago. there is a marijuana delivery company here in l.a. that is looking for an intern to test out their products. they have a lot of products and wanted somebody to test them and write a description of them. they said they were looking for interns to smoke or eat everything they have, and then come up with a little review of them. which for a lot of people is a dream job, and which immediately made me think of a guy we happened upon at the opening of a cannabis dispensary in michigan in januariry last year >> i'm frederick miller. f-r-e-d-e-r-i-c-k -- we're just waiting on the

dispensary see what they got. i was hoping to come out here and do some tricks but so far it's just cold. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: he's great. he's got what they call "it!" i thought freddie would be a very good fit for this job so i decided to play marijuana matchmaker. we got in touch with the ceo of the company, emjay, and we flew freddie to l.a. for an interview. here you go >> how you doing. >> chris. >> great to meet you. >> great to meet you too. >> you real got our attention with this job posting. this three paid internship is a dream come true we're seeking a passionate detail-oriented creative writer to write on every product on our weed platfo platform, passion for cannabis is a must.

how many applications did you get for this. >> we're at 1100 so far. >> you would have to hire somebody just to go through these i'd think. >> your correct, video submissions and write-ins, it's been bigger than expected. >> i know you got a lot of candidates but i feel like i got a guy for you. he's passionate and creative. he's baked out of his mind. would you like to meet him? >> would love to meet him. >> freddie. >> hello. >> hey, buddy. >> really appreciate it. >> how are you. >> this is chris. >> excellent. >> this might be your new boss, have a seat, guys. is rare that you have a intermediary when interviewing an employee. >> yes. >> okay. tell him a little bit about yourself, freddie. >> i currently work at a dispensary now, from the middle of nowhere in indiana.

>> first time on a plane what did you think. >> they're really cool. i like the take off because they do go straight up. >> see, chris. >> so this is basically a writing job, right, and i testing job. >> it is. >> so what could you ask somebody for this spot. >> part of this role is trying the products and accurately writing descriptions about how it made you feel, how it will make our customers feel. they'll read those descriptions and a lot of purchases would be based on your writing. >> maybe you should try one of these products and give it a mini review to give you a sense of his writing and creativity. >> sure. >> let's see. we can't actually show you smoking because this is television so why don't i i'll hold up the funnyuns while you smoke. so give us a summary of desert

gold. >> summary. okay. picture yourself on an airplane riding to california, you've never been there before you're flying over, the landscape changed, midwest totally flat, boring, lots of farms, pretty up close, boring from up 50,000 feet. now, okay, then suddenly the deserts and it looks like the moon landing and you're like, wow, you're thinking something else. was the moon landing fake. or kwasniewski it shot in california? >> very uplifting buddy. >> that's the type of description we go for to be honest. >> hey, this is delicious, i see why you named it berries. >> it's good. >> when did you start up in california? >> we started up in mid-2019, we really got going in january

2020. what do you think of cloud berry. >> first of all i love mixed berry. i definitely notice the mix with. >> really. >> you got a little bit more serious all of a sudden. >> i think it's the cloud berry, man. >> you do. >> well, hey, i have a serious question though, when did you start business here. >> he just told you. >> i forgot. i'm being serious now. >> it really works. >> serious. [ laughter ] >> as far as the cloud berry goes your job would be to write your review of it how would you describe it. >> well, cloud berries, man, you nailed it, it feels like i'm on a plane again except this time on not on the plane, i'm on the cloud looking at the plane go by. maybe i'm drifting all the way out to hollywood. >> pretty good, right. >> pretty good. >> you know, it's my elevator

pitch. >> i love it. one the biggest thing people ask us for is legitimate reviews of effects, we're trying to get the writers to really communicate how it effects them we hear that's a much more reliable source. >> never heard of anything more creative than that, have you. do you have a resume or anything like that. >> i'm glad you asked. >> oh, look at this. it's a handwritten resume. >> good, it looks like a drawing of a monkey and a pig. >> here's his resume. >> i love it, freddie. you know, we got way more submissions than we thought we would so we expanded the internship from one seat to three seats. >> wow. wait, there's only three people out of 1100 or so that are going to qualify. >> that's right. >> so what do you think, chris, is this something you have to think about? >> like i said, i think the

biggest thing we're going for is can you communicate effects in a fun and creative way, i think you check both those boxes very quickly. we'd love to offer you one of the three seats. >> there's one thing you have to do though first, you have to fail a drug test, do you think you can do that. this is great. do you guys want to shake hands. >> i'm all sweaty. >> sweaty freddie. >> wow, guys, i'm just happy to be part of this. thank you, chris. thank you, freddie for bringing so much joy into our lives. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: we've got a good show for you tonight. iliza shlesinger is here. we have music from lukas nelson & promise of the real. and we'll be right back with quentin tarantino.

me. [ cheers and applause ] much respect. >> jimmy: and you're not around here much because you moved to israel, right? >> yeah i did. i moved to tel aviv. the idea was that we'd spend three to four months in tel aviv and three or four in los angeles and then covid hit so three to four months became nine, twelve months. >> jimmy: they figured it out pretty quickly over there, right? >> look, i would have rather not have been out of my own country against my will for a year. >> jimmy: right. >> however, if i'm going to be in another country, the country that handled covid the best that's probably the best country that did it.

dicaprio. >> we almost didn't name him because people would assume that, nothing wrong with that but i didn't. he's named after my wife's grandfather but also because just in our hearts he was our little lion that's how we thought about it. >> he's what 15 -- >> 15, 16 months, yeah. >> jimmy: is he talking. >> he's talking but not necessarily words. he makes himself understood. he can only say one word and that is abba, which is the hebrew word for dada. >> jimmy: that's a good one. >> and a third of the time he means mean. >> jimmy: ha ha ha, how soon before that kid's saying the f-word, can't be long, right. >> well, soon as possible. >> jimmy: are you learning to speak remember rue while --

speak hebrew while you're over there. >> i learned a lot of words, but nothing to string together a sentence but i'm actually learning a lot with leo because he watches these baby tv kind of things that are all in hebrew so i am learning with him, cot is catul. horse is, sou. cow is palar so i'm learning the hebrew sesame street version of hebrew. >> jimmy: you come up with the most creative stuff. because i remember these kind of books so well. >> at the right age. >> jimmy: from 25 years ago. i remember the smell of them. i really do. >> they were in the 7-11 next to the comic book spin a rack they was a paper back spin a rack with crime novels and movie

novels. >> so the movie would come out and be popular and they'd write it up. >> usually one of the things that made them interesting is they coincided with the release of the movie. it was more of a promotional tie in but ofb what would happen is they would hire a author to do it and give them the shooting draft of the script, so they to with do it but then crap would happen and the script would change, the actor or this or that would change but the novel was still the shooting draft of the script. so all of a sudden whoa what's this, who's this characte, what's going on. >> jimmy: and would read these. >> they were my first adult novels. >> jimmy: and they had adds in the back for other novelizations. you used to see that all the time. soon-to-be a major motion picture. >> the back of paper backs always had four pages that were just ads for other novels and the whole idea, my pretext is is

a novelization printed in 1978. so we wanted to have it look and feel like that. so those are actually books that are on the harper catalog that you could get in 1978. >> jimmy: wonder if you can get them now. >> you can definitely get them now. there's ride along bronc is phony because that's the book rick reads in the movie. >> jimmy: right. okay. which ones do you remember reading as a young man. >> i read a lot. i read movie novelizations for movies i never saw. for instance i didn't see heldon mod until seven years ago but i read the novelization in the 70s, it was written by the screenwriter colin higgins. but you know, the only one was the biggest horror novel best-sellers of all time.

>> jimmy: right. >> i mean, it was a smash. it was such a big seller most people thought the omen was based on a book but actually it was a nofvelizatinovelization. >> jimmy: i was one of them. >> you could tell if you read it he is killing himself to write a great novel in the first half and can tell he ran out of time sand he starts novelizing his screen play in the second half. but one of the really good ones is the novelization for the movie orca which was a "jaws" rip off of the killer whale and novelization was written by adam hoercog who wrote a fantastic novelization because it follows the story almost exactly but completely changes the charngt

characters they all do the same plot functions but it's different, the lead character is a completely other guy but it's rich and terrific. here a.i. the thing about o here's the thing about orca i think it's a really good movie. i think jaws is maybe possibly the greatest movie ever made. >> jimmy: right right. >> but. arthur herzog's novel of orca is much better than peter benchly's novel for jaws. [ applause ] so obviously i'm hoping out here in tv land that sales will spike for once upon a time in hollywood when it comes out. however i'm also hoping back sales for orca because of this appearance will spike [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: haven't had anyone from orca here before.

anything i'm going to let you tell the story as it appears, in life or on film however you want to describe it. >> okay. i wish i had a flashlight. this is a mostly true story based on a lie. this is the true story i was flying from the east to west coast on a plane and guy sat next to me and we started talking, he was around my age, he was smart and funny but not hot. and so. [ laughter ] i was like, okay, well, this is a nice conversation and we exchanged twitter handles, this was 2015, became friends and over the course of a year became really close friend and then about a year in we started dating, dated about three months and i found out every single thing he said to me was a lie from the day i met him on the plane. so it's a mostly true story, the first two-thirds were true and ala once upon a time in hollywood if you're still in the

building we have a revision fantasy horrific twist ending. yeah vmt. >> jimmy: so i have a number of questions. in the film marpg receipt -- margaret cho was your friend was she investigating the lies. >> no she was a combination of three women. one of whom was my best friend who was queer that was great for me, and my mother was actually led the charge and she's like this new yorker, she's like something's not right. >> jimmy: she didn't believe he was who he said he was. >> she did not, she didn't think about it when we were just friends but little things set off alarms in her ear. we met he said he went to yale. my friends and cousins went to yale. she called the yale's register's office to confirm if a dennis

kelly had gone there when they said no that's what lit a fire -- [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: wow. mom's not messing around. >> there were couple other things, yeah. >> jimmy: the way the lies were presented though i have to imagine were very accurate. this guy you have to say was a really good liar. he'd say, yes, my mom has cancer, my mom's sick, you would say we should go visit her and then he'd make it like on imposition, then, like, no we can visit when we come back. all of these things seem believable because who would imagine anyone would lie that much. >> that's the whole crux of this sociopathic behavior, who would lie about that. who would lie about colleague -- these are basic 101, here's where i went to school, what i do and who i am. most people don't have the

wherewithal to lie right after the top. >> or they would lie if they know it's a short-term situation not like we're in a relationship and made up everything. >> i think he wasn't counting on me being cool on the plane, he's like she's smart and funny, i'm like, ha, that's how i catch all of them. >> jimmy: ha ha. >> start low, you go high. but we were friends for that year and then i was always very honest, i would go out with other guys, we don't have to be friends if that makes you n comfortable. he was like, no i'm down. i was actually on a date with someone, tyler cameron from the botch bachelor and i got a call from him crying like my mom's been diagnosed with cancer, i think he saw i was on a date with someone he couldn't compete with and your heartbreaks, it's one of your best friends. >> jimmy: either that or that

posting gave his mother cancer. >> if i had that kind of power i would wield it very gently. it's one of those things only in society as a woman do you really think he's an absolute wart hog but he's so sweet and kind i'll be sexual with him. you never say to a guy, like, look i know she's an armadillo but if you can just put your mouth on hers because she's very funny. [ laughter ] it's true. >> jimmy: are you -- you're on a tour right now? >> i'm on tour as we're speaking. >> jimmy: where are you going next i'm going to alabama, oh, you heard of it. good. >> jimmy: well, don't talk to anyone on the plane. ha ha. >> never again. i wear my ppe welding gear and i just face the window. >> jimmy: by the way please thank your husband he sent burritos from the restaurant koufax they have the whole thing. >> we know you're fans and he came up with that burrito and i

would like to think it could be a tradition which means i have to keep coming back. >> jimmy: it is a tradition. you and burritos. it's great to see you. the movie, it's called "good on paper" it's on netflix now. we'll be right back with lukas nelson & promise of the real.
