[ cheers and applause ] how about that? now, very sad news to break to you just to start off the show. i'm very sorry to say this. but i'm only here for one night. but i do have good news. i've already lasted longer than the new host of "jeopardy." okay? [ applause ]

so there's a silver lining in all of this. and i've got a lot of encouragement from my colleagues at espn. had to throw that in there. okay? they even took time to give me a beautiful shout out on today's edition of my show, "first take," on espn. look how excited they are for me. >> mr. stephen a. smith is hosting "jimmy kimmel" tonight. so make sure to check that out. i bet you he's actually a little nervous. he doesn't get nervous about anything but that's a pretty big deal.

[ laughter ] but honestly, this is really exciting. a beautiful moment for me. afternoon, i cover the nba for espn. okay? i have a recurring role on my favorite soap opera, "general

hospital." right here on abc. [ applause ] my character's name is brick. i'm a surveillance expert for the mob and mob boss sonny corinthos. and now here i am in late night. it's 24 hours a day of stephen a. watch out, ryan seacrest, i'm coming for your ass! i'm coming for you! [ applause ] now, of course, the best part about being here tonight is that i get to be in the presence of the g.o.a.t. himself, the one and only. guillermo, what's going on? >> guillermo: yeah! how you are you doing? [ cheers and applause ] >> stephen: te amo, my friend. >> guillermo: te amo. >> stephen: great. you correct the pronunciation. are you happy about me hosting the show? >> guillermo: yeah. >> stephen: am i doing okay so far? >> guillermo: so far so good. >> stephen: you notice my legs

shaking? >> no. it's perfect. >> stephen: you like the tie? >> guillermo: you look nice. >> stephen: can i lie and say i picked it out? >> guillermo: i don't think so. >> stephen: who picked out your tie? >> guillermo: mine? my wife. >> stephen: okay. does she always pick out your ties? >> guillermo: everything. >> stephen: everything? >> guillermo: yeah. >> stephen: i appreciate that. i appreciate that. by the way, did you hear what they're doing over in mississippi? >> guillermo: no. >> stephen: i wanted to get to this because i wanted to tell the audience about this. in mississippi people are taking a drug meant for livestock to ward off the coronavirus. this is a true story. in fact, so many folks are doing this the fda had to issue an official warning. ladies and gentlemen, this is a real tweet from the fda. "you are not a horse. you are not a cow. seriously, y'all, stop it." [ applause ] i've got to admit this. they are absolutely right.

you are not a horse. you are not a cow. you're a jackass, though. [ laughter ] make no mistake about that. [ applause ] and by the way. by the way, if the drug you're about to take has a horse on the box, you probably shouldn't take it. [ laughter ] on friday the mississippi healt people taking this horse medicine accounted for more than 70% of recent calls to the state's poison center. that's shocking. and i'll tell you why. i had no idea mississippi had a health department. [ laughter ] i really didn't know. i didn't know. in all seriousness, here's a simple way to find out if this drug is right for you. do you eat your meals out of a bag that has been strapped to your mouth? [ laughter ] are you led around by a carrot or a stick?

[ laughter ] how about do you sleep standing up? do you sleep in a stable? no? then take people medicine, okay? try that. it makes sense! [ applause ] here's another crazy thing going on with americans right now. it's called "the milk crate challenge." and i'm going to tell y'all something. i challenge anybody, anybody on earth, anybody, to find people dumber than these people. >> he got it too. oh! >> oh! ♪ ♪ i believe i can fly ♪ >> stephen: damn.

what is wrong with these people? first you drink the milk from the crates to get strong bones. then you fall of o'the crates to break them? we're all so worried about covid, but tiktok is what's going to kill us. [ laughter ] can you imagine that eulogy? just take a moment. can you imagine this eulogy? he died doing what he loved. acting like a total dummy. [ laughter ] "hey, i'm sorry your cousin died falling off that milk crate." that's okay, though, he got 2 million likes. [ laughter ] everybody's losing their mind right now and i get it. it's been a long year, and folks are dealing with a lot. and while i'm known by some as bombastic and demonstrative, i never hesitate to call something or someone blasphemous! i got news for you. there's also a tranquil side to me. there is. who loves my zen, my peace. who has no problem putting on my pajamas with footies at six o'clock in the evening. so i wanted to do my part to

bring some serenity into people's lives. >> in today's fast-paced world we're all seeking some form of inner peace. now you can find that serenity through a unique meditation workshop led by spiritual guru and espn commentator stephen a. smith. through stephen's one-of-a-kind mindfulness program you'll learn techniques that will keep you feeling centered. >> let me get this out of the way off top. i am in no mood to be here today, okay? no mood! >> stephen's unique approach takes meditation to a whole new level. >> relax, damn it! >> using classic techniques like finding your mantra. >> stephen: repeat after me. stay off the weed!

[ all repeat "stay off the weed-a" ] >> and guided meditations. >> stephen: i want you to take a deep breath. and imagine you're standing in the middle of a beautiful garden. madison square garden. it's game 7 of the eastern conference finals. fourth quarter. two minutes to go and you're down nine. spike lee is drowning in a puddle of his own tears. it's up to you to put the knicks on your back and carry that franchise to their first conference title in 22 years! do you have it in you? where the hell you think you're going? you haven't achieved nirvana yet. >> sorry. this just isn't quite what i was looking for. >> stephen: so you think you can just go whenever you want to? who do you think you are, kevin durant? wrong. sit your ass down. >> i'm sorry. >> stephen: this is probably a good time for me to tell y'all this. no refunds.

>> the stephen a. smith meditation workshop. find your inner peace. you inner piece of [ bleep ]. [ applause ] >> stephen: it actually works. you should all try that meditation program. it'll work wonders for you. okay? as i'm sure you can tell, i have very strong opinions on almost everything. which makes me a very effective problem solver. and tonight i'm going to use my skills to sort out some domestic disputes. it's time for "stephen settles it"! [ cheers and applause ] yes, i do. now, we've gathered some couples out on hollywood boulevard. each has an issue they needed to sort out. first up we have jason and sophia. hey, guys. how are y'all doing? >> what's up? >> hi. >> stephen: what is your issue

with jason, sophia? >> he's a bad driver. that's it. >> stephen: that's all? nothing else? >> today that's it, yes. >> stephen: why is he a bad driver? what's the issue with his driving? >> he's a reckless driver. you know. it's really hard to get him to focus on the road. it's really hard to keep other people in the city safe. so i do my due diligence and i drive. >> stephen: and you drive. and how do you feel about her driving, jason? >> i feel like i've never been in an accident before. so i don't -- i may be a bad driver but i'm -- >> yeah. thanks to me he has not gotten in an accident. >> oh, my god. >> stephen: so thanks to you he hasn't gotten in an accident. and how is it thanks to you? >> he has a great coach. because i'm always telling him what to be careful -- to be watching out for and, you he no, how to drive, here's the speed limit. you know. >> you ever been in the car with like a screaming goat?

>> stephen: you just called your wife a goat on national television. >> no. i mean, it's always -- >> stephen: you -- >> i'm sleeping on the couch tonight. >> stephen: jason, you do know you're going to have a rough night tonight, right? >> absolutely. >> stephen: i'm going to do you a favor. i'm going to end this conversation. >> thank you very much. >> stephen: just listen to her, bro. >> thank you. >> stephen: thank you so much. that settles it. [ applause ] our next couple, samiti -- samita. i'm sorry. and avi. how are you doing? how's everything going? >> we're doing well, stephen a. how are you? >> stephen: what's going on? what is he doing wrong? >> when it comes to arguing we have different styles. i like to tackle things head on, get to the root of the problem and address it, and he likes to take his time, let it sit. for example, if i step on his foot and he won't tell me that asking him when he wants dinner ready, it's completely over my head. i'd rather he tell me when it

hurts. >> stephen: avi, what's the problem with that? i don't know a man alive that has a problem with a woman telling him on the spot while he can remember what he did wrong what he did wrong. why is that a problem for you? >> you make a good point, stephen a. but i'm in the business of conflict resolution. i want to get to the root of the problem. and sometimes in the heat of the moment when emotion gets the best of you you may say something you don't mean, you may not exactly address the problem. and the root of the cause. i mean, maybe my foot was in the way and that's why she stepped on my toe. you know what i mean? >> stephen: so delaying it and kicking it down the road for weeks at a time is beneficial to you as a problem solver? what profession are you in? >> i'm an engineer. >> stephen: i don't know if i would hire you based on that answer that you just gave. >> hopefully i have a job after this. >> stephen: so now that you've been talking and you recognize where she stands, are you willing to modify your approach to some degree and capitulate to what she desires, sir? >> i know where she stands. it's on my foot. but that's not what i'm looking for. i mean, listen, in the heat of

the moment i may say something i don't mean. i like to stay take a step back, like i said, and really let the problem sink in so we can get to the real meat of it. >> stephen: samita, here's my advice to you. when you know he really, really wants something from you, that's when you bring up something in the immediate moment you want him to address. and if he doesn't follow your instructions and address it immediately, make him sleep in the other room. i promise you, it will not continue. i appreciate you. >> thank you. >> stephen: thank you so much. >> thank you. >> stephen: anyway-i hope i saved some relationships tonight. we have a great show for you you tonight. olympic gold medalist allyson felix is here.

thought we was gone. my man j lin was doing his thing. >> and he free throw. you know you hon you w you do i. >> jimmy: now, would that happen if you were there? would there be a celebration?

♪ what's up, big-time? >> hey, man. i can't complain. >> stephen a.: what's up, big-time? >> i can't complain. >> stephen a.: i'm not going to lie to you. when you're coming out, i know i didn't expect "shaft" with the music. i expected some smoke to be popping. that didn't happen. >> i left it in the green room, stephen. i've been here before. you understand me? i'm familiar with my surroundings. you understand me? >> stephen a.: i got you. i feel you. listen, you've known that i've been on this tip for many, many years. i've told cats stay off the weed. >> always. >> stephen a.: but i always said that just because i don't want them losing their money. explain to me whether you agree or disagree with my position because i know you've taken -- i know you've spoken on this in the past. >> i agree with your position when it comes to the athletes who have commissioners and rules and regulations and tests and

things they have to deal with. >> stephen a.: that's all i'm talking about. >> in their profession that can stifle them from get their money. now, when i'm speaking to entertainers and people like myself, we don't have a commissioner. we don't have none of that. [ laughter ] so we don't get drug tested. we don't get this and that. [ cheers and applause ] thank you. so what i'm saying is what stephen a. is speaking, he's speaking to the athletes to let them know do not get it confused. you can hang out with the rappers but you can't do what the rappers do. because the rappers don't have ramifications for what they do. you do. so he's basically trying to protect your money and give you some knowledge. so don't fatake it the wrong wa. take it as information. [ applause ] >> stephen a.: i appreciate that. you know you've seen a lot of folks pushing for these sports leagues to relax their rules. >> right. >> stephen a.: on weed use and what have you. where do you stand with that? >> i think that should happen because a lot times these athletes take these pills and get addicted to these pills and it still doesn't give them the relief they need as fares at the pain or whatever they're going

through. through the cbd, through the thc, through the marijuana, through the cannabis they're able to find relaxation and get the medical treatment they deserve without having those later side effects. so i push for that in sports because baseball doesn't test for marijuana. hockey doesn't test for marijuana. so it should be the same way with basketball and football. [ applause ] >> stephen a.: i want to transition. i want to transition to kobe bryant because i know that was your man. i mean, we both loved him deeply. gone far, far, far too soon. but he wasn't just a friend. he wasn't just a guy you loved so much because he was i alaker. you once told me he was your hero. when you think about reflecting on him right now, just talk about the friendship you two had and how it came to be. >> it felt like we both arrived at the same time. when he got to the lakers, i got into the industry. and it felt like our rise was together. so when i would go to laker games and build a friendship with him knowing i was a diehard fan and then i seen him build a family, i built a family, i seen our careers going to a different

light to where we became fathers and we became more positive role models outside of what we were doing, like i was known for rap, he was known for basketball but outside of our professions we were becoming better people. and that's what made him my hero, is you could be younger than me. you could be less experienced than me. but if you do things that inspire me you could be my hero. so he was always a hero of mine despite being younger. i just loved the way he moved, the way he carried himself, the way he conducted himself. with fans, with people, with regular people. when he came to my facility to visit me, he took pictures with the people who take out the trash, the people who clean the building. like and it was one of the greatest days in their life because they were saying to me like when he came we normally would get out of the way because we know you got celebrities coming but he was like no, i want a picture with everybody. he was just so down to earth and so real. that's what a hero is. he's somebody that you can touch and somebody you can aspire to be. >> stephen a.: wow. [ applause ] i got something funny that i wanted to bring up to people because when i had my show, when

i started my show, "stephen a.'s world" january 11th on espn plus, you were one of my first guests. you were my first guest that day. and i asked you about the lakers, and i brought up the clippers. and i wanted the audience to see what you had to say in response to that. could y'all play that, please? >> was there any point where you're nervous about it? >> laker to a clipper? man, i can't be faded. come on, man. we talking about the clippers. the team that has zero banners, that are the opening night champions for 14 years straight, have no banners, no nothing.

not all of us have equal treatment. >> stephen a.: i got you. >> but i was in a dorm room. you know, situation. the village, it's very basic. it's very humbling. you know? it takes you back. you know, you do the best that you can. i ordered a mattress at this olympics. >> stephen a.: they let you do that? i didn't know they let you do that. >> they did. i'm old. so i needed to like get some help. >> stephen a.: did you just say you're old? >> i am -- in the sports world among the track & field athletes i'm, yeah. >> stephen a.: i guess i'm a great grandparent. what i'm saying. anyway. you're on the cover of "time" magazine. [ cheers and applause ] let's make sure we show that, please. put that up. that's you right there. that's you right there. how many covers did you -- how many magazines did your parents buy? >> probably all of them.

they're so proud. my mom definitely. she made sure she got her copies. >> stephen a.: what does it make you feel like to be on the cover? what does that mean to you? >> i feel so proud. i've been through a whole lot. and i think, you know, it was doubtful if i was going to get to this moment. so to not only get here, to be on the cover of time, to have everything really come together after all the hardship i went through, it feels really special. >> stephen a.: when you talk about hardships, that's your personal business. say what you will. but i just want you top crystallize for everybody just the kind of year, the kind of couple of years this has ben like for you. put into perspective some of the things you've been going through and why you just came out on top just looking beautiful in every way imaginable. >> well, i had a really difficult time when i wanted to start a family. i wasn't supported by my response or. i h sponsor. i had a very difficult birth experience with my daughter. i suffered from a severe case of preeclampsia and we weren't sure what the outcome was going to

be. so to go from not sure if you're going to make it to at the olympic games with a whole lot in between, i just feel so blessed. yeah. [ cheers and applause ] >> stephen a.: well, you're definitely moving on up because now you're a business woman. you're an entrepreneur. saysh. talk to us about that for a second. what's that about? explain to our audience what that is. you seem very, very excited about that. >> i'm so proud of it. i didn't have a footwear sponsor and i was talking with my brother and he had this crazy idea, like what if we do this ourselves? so saysh is a brand for women. it's designed by women. our first product is a lifestyle sneaker. and yeah, it's about community as well. you got something back there? >> stephen a.: yes, i do. this is -- i'm holding this up. this is a beautiful sneaker. [ applause ] i'm holding this up right here. >> and i also -- i was able to compete in the olympics in my

brand sayment issh, in my own s. so that was so special, to go from -- [ applause ] to go from being told, you know, i was done, i was a mother, i had nothing left to give, to then coming back to the olympics and doing it in my own shoe, i was like all right, this is good. [ cheers and applause ] >> stephen a.: this is a beautiful sneaker. and your feet felt very comfortable in it, i imagine. >> they did. >> stephen a.: is that correct? >> they did. >> stephen a.: why am i still holding this up a minute after i showed it on the camera? you want to tell me why i'm holding it up? because i was looking for a pair and you just informed me it's just for -- >> it's just for women. >> stephen a.: what about the men? we buy sneakers. >> you can size up. because i've been doing that all my life. we got you. >> stephen a.: i was just saying, because i mean, listen,

this notion, women are the consumers, that's true. but men, when it comes to sneakers, men buy some sneakers now. >> yeah. i'm a houj sneuge sneakerhead. i've been wearing men's shoes since i was growing up. this is a great opportunity. >> i'm going to hold you to it, allyson. before i let you out of here i'd be remiss in neglecting to bring up sha'carri richardson. she's been through a lot. and obviously being pushed out of the olympics because of marijuana use and what have you. in light of all that's been transpiring, all that she has gone through, what message would you like to say about her personally and about what she endured being an olympian? >> yeah. >> stephen a.: or supposed to be an olympian. >> i know she's obviously been through so much. i hope she's just supported. i hope people rally around her. obviously she has a great sxernlt she's brought a lot of attention to the sport and i think she'll be in the sport for

a very long time. i think just more than anything for all athletes there's so much that goes into it. just, you know, give her support that she needs. >> stephen a.: i got you.
