[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: hello. thank you. i'm jimmy, i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. thank you for joining us in the aftermath of the emmys last night. before we go any further, and i want to congratulate my co-workers last night, our show won the emmy for outstanding achievement in variety comedy
11:36 pm
talk comedy variety. [ applause ] what's that? oh, we didn't? i made that category up? well, thank you guys for believing in us any ways. that is an emmy in and of itself. you know, last year, i hosted the emmys, and this year, i watched them at home, from my kids' bouncy castle. it's funny, people keep kind of giving me their condolences because i didn't host the emmys this year. like, they're sad for me, i have to explain that the emmys rotate. this year they're on cbs. next year nbc, then fox. and the only time i would host is when the show is on abc, because i'm on abc. but they never seem convinced. it's like okay, you're doing good. i had a little gathering of our
11:37 pm
producers at my house last night to watch the show. did you have fun, guillermo? he didn't have fun because -- >> i didn't watch the emmys. >> jimmy: you didn't watch the emmies? yes, i know. you didn't come to my house either. you rsvp'd that you are coming. and then we see him at the chargers-cowboys game. >> i'm sorry, jimmy. i'm sorry so erin, jan, and molly. but it was worth it. >> jimmy: good. we'll see about that. no one says he's going to come and doesn't show up to more parties, dinners, you name it than guillermo. your cowboys won though? >> yeah. that's right. >> jimmy: well, we didn't. we lost. >> next year. >> jimmy: we're sending you to guam next year. what a show. they opened with rita wilson rapping, and somehow it got even whiter from there.
11:38 pm
last year, the canadians came in and won it all. this year, it was the english. it was a britzkrieg. more than half the emmys went to non-dare i even say un-americans! even ted lasso had to move to london to win an emmy this year. gillian anderson, who is not from england, she's born in chicago, but she grew up there and lives there now. she won best actress in a drama for her portrayal of prime minister margaret thatcher in "the crown." which created an opportunity for one of the great, dopey american interview questions of all-time to happen backstage. >> just to kind of continue with the whole margaret thatcher thing. the first question, have you talked to her about this role at all? >> well, i -- i have not spoken to margaret. umm -- >> jimmy: the reason she hasn't is because margaret thatcher died in 2013. but it would have made a great episode of "the x files" if she
11:39 pm
had spoken to her somehow. the other big winners this weekend, were the passengers aboard the first ever all-civilian spacex flight. after three days in space, they made it safely back to earth. during their weekend outside the atmosphere, the crew passed the time talking, watching movies, they watched the movie "spaceballs" for real. and one guy brought a ukulele along to play music. which, went over about as well as you might guess it would. look at this. yeah, she's like, okay, i'm in frigging ukulele.who plays the - back home on earth, the government has begun to issue guidelines on vaccine booster shots. the third shot. an fda panel recommends covid booster shots only for those who are most at risk. older americans, the immunocompromised, and anyone who lives in florida. at the other end of the abacus, pfizer today, announced their
11:40 pm
vaccine is safe for kids ages 5 to 11. according to a pfizer board member, a vaccine for children could be available by the end of october. well, i know what i'll be handing out for halloween. a fun-sized pfizer. many americans are still resisting the vaccine in favor of the paste they use to deworm horses. so much so, horse owners are having trouble finding it, and even when they do, the increased demand has jacked up the price. one feed store in las vegas had to post this sign: "ivermectin will only be sold to horse owners. must show pic of you and your horse." preferably on tinder. can you imagine, you won't go to walgreens to get a free vaccine, but you will spend four hours photoshopping your body onto a clydesdale to get ivermectin? i think they should make people ride their horse to the store. and of course, you know who's loving all this the most? the worms. the horse worms. they're like, party! let's get all up in this!
11:41 pm
it's only a matter of time until the horses fight back and start taking our lunesta. for those who can't get their hands on the horsey sauce, the anti-vax crowd has been turning to monoclonal antibody treatment. this is an iv hookup that helps to reduce the symptoms of covid. it's pretty incredible that the people who don't trust vaccines, do trust being pumped full of lab-created antibodies. this is like skydiving and instead of using your parachute, you're like, "eh, i'll just crash near a hospital." there are a lot of great thinkers out there lately. this is from a school board meeting in austin, texas, where one mom spoke very passionately, about a sexually explicit book her middle school children found in the library. >> all right. not going to lie. i had to google corn hole because i have the game in the back of my yard. but according to wikipedia, corn hole is a sexual slang for anus. the term came into use in the 1910s in the united states as
11:42 pm
verb form to corn hole, which came into usage in the 1930s. it means to have anal sex. i do not want my children to learn about anal sex in middle school. i've never had anal sex, i don't want to have anal sex. i don't want my kids having anal sex. i want you to start focusing on education and not public health. >> jimmy: mom, can we go home now? maybe drop us off at grandma's. speaking of grandma, tonight, season 975 of "dancing with the stars" got going. for those of you who aren't interested in monday night football, we are back, with two hours of cha cha with the guy from "kobra kai." i'll tell you something, we could not possibly be more excited. [ cheers and applause ] >> how are you doing. oh, my goodness. it's zachary levi and kurt
11:43 pm
warner, everybody. what a surprise this is. i had no idea you guys were lurking backstage. >> i heard you talking about football. >> we want to talk about the movie we made together. >> jimmy: you made a movie together? >> yeah. i play kurt, which is the incredible story of his life. tell him. >> from being an undrafted player to winning the nfl championship. [ applause ] >> i appreciate your excitement. >> when he didn't get drafted, he took a job stocking shelves and worked his butt off and got a spot on the arena football team and then got drafted by the st. louis rams. [ applause ] >> jimmy: fantastic story. that was like -- that never happened before, right? >> it had never happened before. then we went on and won the
11:44 pm
super bowl. >> he went from being a third string quarterback to a starting quarterback. green went down -- there's all kinds of stuff. you won the super bowl. you ultimately won the super bowl and he won the nfl mvp and he's a hall of famer. i mean, this is -- [ applause ] >> jimmy: is that how it happened, kurt? >> yeah, something like that. we brought a trailer. >> and it comes out this christmas! you should go see it. >> jimmy: if you don't know the story of kurt warner, it is an incredible story, as you so elegantly explained. we're going show you the trailer. tonight, we have a great show. "ted lasso" brendan hunt is here. seth macfarlane is here. we have music from the lumineers. but first, a look at the trailer from "american underdog." >> my team is worth $800
11:45 pm
million. >> that should put you in the driver's seat. why in the world would i give you this shot? >> all my life, i defined myself through sports. i've always come up empty. >> i can win for you. >> you need to start thinking about life after football, son. >> i was meant for something more. >> green went down hard and is not getting up. >> i wasn't ready for it. but i am now. >> you were born for this. >> there's something special about you, son. >> destiny. we're the underdogs. you want to prove that? you want to prove that. ♪

night the show premiered, like where you were? >> i do, yeah. this was -- the economy was different back then. fox flew all of its talent to the super bowl on a private plane, which will never happen again. yeah, i was at the super bowl. is when i saw it, we were on the bus back to the hotel, and i watched it on one of those little soapy watchmans. >> jimmy: barely worked. >> yeah, barely worked. and it was enough. it was like a moment that i remember. >> jimmy: yeah. >> i was on a bus with all the stars of your favorite fox shows. 1999. >> jimmy: who do you remember? >> oh, it was -- it was mad tv, right? it was buffy, "90210," it was -- >> jimmy: and you're like, here i am. with buffy and company. >> i'm right here with all these folks. >> jimmy: i mean, that's got to be an exciting thing. and now you're passing.

what i've learned from so many years . . . . . . of living with hiv is to enjoy every moment. my name is hugo and i'm on biktarvy. biktarvy is a complete, one-pill, once-a-day treatment . . . . . . used for hiv in certain adults. it's not a cure, but with one small pill, biktarvy fights hiv to help you get to . . .
12:02 am
. . . and stay undetectable. that's when the amount of virus is so low, it cannot be measured by a lab test. serious side effects can occur, including kidney problems and kidney failure. rare, life-threatening side effects include a build-up of lactic acid and liver problems. do not take biktarvy if you take dofetilide or rifampin. tell your doctor about all the medicines and supplements you take, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding . . . . . . or if you have kidney or liver problems, including hepatitis. if you have hepatitis b, do not stop taking biktarvy without talking to your doctor. common side effects were diarrhea, nausea, and headache. if you're living with hiv . . . . . . keep loving who you are. and ask your doctor if biktarvy is right for you.
12:03 am
what peter might ask is, what if the vaccine makes him sick? >> the common side effects are generally mild and last a few days. do you know what can have serious long-term side effects? covid. >> he says everyone else will get it, why does he? >> what he should understand is getting the shot not only protects him, but only the people around him. but even more importantly, if the virus is allowed to spread through an unvaccinated population, it could mutate into a variant that the vaccines might not protect against. then we're right back where we started. galga singing "imagine."
12:04 am
>> jimmy: that is a special psa. >> i learned how to pronounce her name by watching your show. >> jimmy: there's a "t" in it. >> thank you, thank you. you contributed to that. >> jimmy: don't tell gal i contributed. i'm glad you did that. do you go to fox and tell them you want to do this and they're for it? >> yeah, yeah. >> jimmy: interesting. >> it's very civil of them. i don't quite know -- it's two halves of the same person. it's dr. jeckyl and mr. hyde. >> jimmy: i'm sure that is uncomfortable for probably both sides. they probably don't love being associated with the other. >> yeah, i think it is. you see on the news side they obviously are in, you know, their imaginary fairy land. and then the entertainment side, we have to exist through these
12:05 am
people, so let's make the best of it. >> jimmy: i heard you talking about psa cartoons and psas. this is something that is like -- i think it's from my childhood for sure they used to do this a lot. and they don't do it any more. >> what is it, jimmy? >> jimmy: well, i mean, they don't like have messages. like, paw patrol had a message about sharing. you know what i mean? >> our parent's generation tried very hard to educate us. >> jimmy: yeah, yeah. i feel like i'm older than you, so i'm part of that generation. i mean, first there was just like bugs bunny and the roadrunner trying to murder each other all the time. and then we made this weird shift like where every saturday morning there was a little message at the end. >> exactly. bill cosby was telling you to be safe. "hey, hey, hey." >> jimmy: yeah, yeah.

that's right. and even superheroes. and i understand this kind of inspired you. this particular -- >> the super friends psa. >> jimmy: every week they had one. >> did you watch the super friends in >> i absolutely watched it. and -- well, here we go. this is what we used to watch. >> you know, ronnen, quite often people choke. >> what do you do for them? >> you would stand behind me, wrap your arms around your waist, make a fist and put it against my abdomen and your thumb against my body. press in and upward. you might have to have press and push up more than once. it's important to get it right. someone's life may depend on it. >> i've never had anal sex, i
12:07 am
don't want anal sex. >> do you think that's -- is that batman's parents, why they got shot? >> jimmy: you are -- besides the psa, that comes out tomorrow? >> it does. on hulu and various social media. >> jimmy: besides that, you just recorded another album, duet. >> yes, yes. been very busy. >> jimmy: that album is called "songs from home," which probably because you were at home recording the songs. on top of that, you are doing -- and this is particularly interesting to me, because it's one of my favorite shows. you are doing a remake with norman leer of "good times." and animated version. >> yes. >> jimmy: when is that happening? >> you know, there's no release date. it's very early, and we're still
12:08 am
in the writing stage. >> jimmy: will you keep the theme song? >> this is one of these situation where is i'm like rubber stamping stuff. i'm like, all right, this person is talented. carl jones is talented, let's give him a show. so it was kind of the brain trust behind, this he and norman leer. >> jimmy: so they're make the decision to use the theme song. >> was it quincy jones? ♪ good times ♪ no, it wasn't. >> jimmy: that's sanford and son, another great theme song. >> who wrote "good times?" >> jimmy: i don't know the answer to that. if i get a vote, i say you keep the theme song. will there be cursing on it? >> yeah, the scripts i have seen are pretty laden with colorful metaphors. >> jimmy: i see. very good. this is something that i was wondering and thinking about you
12:09 am
as these people went into space. would you go into space? you had cosmos, a show you -- is that something that would interest you? >> i probably would not actually go into space without several drinks. yeah, i like -- you know, i'm a very -- contrary to -- i'm an anxiety ridden person. i've got to take a pill to go on long freeway drives. so i think being in space would be too enclosed. >> jimmy: do you think having a ukulele would make you more or less relaxed? >> it might turn me more sociopathic. it was a ukulele, right? i missed it. >> jimmy: it's a ukulele. it's like a corn dog. you know, even when it's good, it's still a corn dog. >> i'm going to have to google corn hole. >> jimmy: it's not has to, it's

he said manchester, sure. i'm like no, no, manchester city. it's a small housing development just outside manchester. it's quite new, only the last 25 years or so. it's not on most maps. [ laughter ] and no one questioned it. and so the moment of truth for it was my very, very last day, after two months on this job. my very last tour. and at this point, i'm just not having a good time, because these people, i don't know them, i'm only 17. i don't hang out with them after work. but essentially they're my friends and every word i'm saying to them is a lie technically. and i'm also starting to faint in an english accent, which is of course, skchizophrenschizoph. so i'm on my last tour. i get off the bus and hold out my hands for tips. and people come on after that.
12:22 am
and i see a beer bellied man, you know, in flip-flops and white hair and v-neck t-shirt barreling towards me. and just a moment, sir, i have to let the others off first. then i feel him staring daggers into my head. he just goes, where are you from? and now the whole alibi comes back. oh, well, i was born here, but my parents, we lived in england. and if my english sounds american, that's why. he's like, where in england are you from? i'm like, london, actually. where in london? and here's where my knowledge of london failed me. because i only knew one neighborhood in london, it was the same neighborhood where my high school was in chicago. so i figured they were similar places. so i go, hyde park. and he said, i didn't know anyone lived in hyde park, with
12:23 am
the rabbits. because in chicago, hyde park is a lovely neighborhood where the obamas met. in london, it's a freaking park. [ applause ] >> jimmy: and he was mad, huh? >> he was like, the game is afoot. he knew he would break me. i'm like, my whole body language just collapses. he says, now, where are you really from? i'm like, sir, i lose my accent, it was a joke, it got out of hand. it's my last day, please don't say anything. he's like, your secret is safe with me. he sits in the front seat. i'm watching him the whole time. doesn't laugh at all. i'm just broken. the tour ends. now i have to collect a tip from this man, but he's english. i know he's not going to tip me any ways. he comes down and puts 50 cents in my hand and he pulls me
12:24 am
uncomfortably close and gets right in my ear and says next time pick a real neighborhood, not hyde park, with the rabbits! >> jimmy: wouldn't it be great to run into that guy now? now that you're the toast of england. are you the toast of england? do they claim you as their own there now? >> they're warming up to it. yeah, yeah. it takes a while to get to those folks over there. they're very stubborn. >> jimmy: now they'll be cooling off based on that comment. congratulations. and also you have a baby at home, a new one, huh? >> yeah. we had to have him in london actually, because that's when we were shooting and pandemic and all that. >> jimmy: so he will really be able to get on a tour bus in chicago when he's a teenager. >> oh, yeah, jimmy, i never thought of it that way. >> jimmy: wow.
