alvarez, all of from ywd, "jimmy kimmel live." tonight, kathy griffin, alan ruck, and music from inhaler. and now, jimmy kimmel! >> jimmy: hello. i'm jimmy. i appreciate that. i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. thank you for joining us on the most important holiday of all, cyber monday. also known as "every company you ever bought something from sends

you eleven emails" day. great to hear from you linens n' things. it's listen so long. i got aggressive for cyber monday this year. i drove down to the port of los angeles and lined up outside a container ship. i was like hey, let's go. this is our first show back after thanksgiving. i hope you had a good one. i had a mildly frightening thanksgiving. you may have seen this on istagram. i was lighting the pizza oven and i wish i could say this is the first time i've done this, but i turned on the gas and flipped the switch. usually it lights up first. 40 minutes goes by. the oven didn't light. so i grabbed a piece of paper, lit it on fire. lit it on fire, and tossed it into the oven and boom! it came right back at me. it's a good thing i was wearing a hat because i would be bald tonight. i wound up roasting my hair and lightly searing my face.

the smell was very bad. i think the reason burning hair smells so bad is it's god's way of saying "you are on fire." but even though the hair on my arm and head was burned, even though i was blasted by a fireball, i had a meal to prepare, so i kept going. i didn't even put ice on my face. i looked in the mirror and went huh. i took a picture and went right back to cooking. i finished every dish and got the turkeys on the table because what am i, guillermo? >> you're an idiot. >> jimmy: that's right. an idiot. last christmas, i chopped the tip of my finger off. did i go to the hospital? no! and why, guillermo? >> because you're a [ bleep ] idiot. >> jimmy: that's right. unfortunately, the turkey is delicious and i have to height myself on fire every year. i know i'm done when that little

thing in my belly button pops out. did you cook, guillermo? >> no. my wife did. i was in charge of the drinks. >> jimmy: what did your wife make? >> she made chicken rice. >> jimmy: every year you guys have chicken. >> we don't like turkey. it's too dry. >> jimmy: if you overcook it, it's too dry. you know it's the law. you're supposed to have turkey on thanksgiving. you're not allowed to have chicken. >> mexicans don't respect the law. >> jimmy: i didn't even know you were mexican. wow. in new york, they held the annual macy's thanksgiving day parade with some precautions this time around. all of the floats had to be vaccinated to attend. the turkey was masked up. the pillsbury doughboy. he was playing it very safe. olaf in a face shield.

and santa claus, i don't know if that's a ventilator or oxygen mask. which is probably for the best because there is a new flavor of covid on the way. if it isn't here already. the "omicron" variant, which so far has been reported in africa, australia, belgium, britain, germany, italy, and a handful of other countries, including canada. trying to guess where it will strike next is fun. it's like "where in the world is covid san diego?" it's a fun game to play. omicron has been declared a "variant of concern" by the world health organization. experts are hoping it ends up being like the second season of "tiger king." everybody talks about it, but no one actually experiences it. and of course, the right wingnuts have a new theory that the variant is some kind of ploy concocted by the democrats to help them win elections. former white house doctor and current congressman ronny jackson tweeted on saturday, "here comes the mev -- the midterm election variant!

they need a reason to push unsolicited nationwide mail-in ballots. democrats will do anything to cheat during an election, but we're not going to let them!" so let me get this straight. chuck schumer and nancy pelosi developed this variant to encourage democrats to vote by mail. seems like maybe you're giving them too much credit. do you think democrats are that organized? they can't even get joe manchin to support maternity leave! i don't think they're creating viruses. but this man, who is a doctor, a white house doctor. this is a man who had obama and trump's testicles in his palm just making up crazy stuff. that's our world now. the name "omicron" comes from the greek alphabet, which means the next variant will be called pi. that's a problem. as much as americans don't want to get covid, we do love pie.

and we all know which one wins between our brain and stomach. meanwhile the weakest variant of the trump virus, donald jr., was vaxxing poetic about freedom this weekend on fox news. >> you don't hear about what's going on as it relates to the riots in europe on a daily basis now against the vaccine mandates. because our media wants to block that out. they're going to make sure that you never hear about it, because they don't want you getting these kind of ideas that freedom may actually still exist in some parts of the world. i mean, europe is pushing back, and america is sitting there like sheep. let's just go along with these guys. it's insanity. >> jimmy: your dad told us to drink bleach. they always seem to forget that. the white house today revealed its decorations for the holiday season.

they're quite beautiful. that is the white house tree with thinly sliced parmesan cheese all over it. there's even a scale model gingerbread white house. that's got to kill trump. give him five minutes alone with that white house, he'll make it disappear faster than the aliens in "independence day." first lady jill biden said the white house christmas theme this year will be "gifts from the heart." which is also what her husband calls one of his signature back rubs. i'm just giving you a gift from the heart!" that is a significant departure from former first lady melania trump's theme, which was "dead on the inside." you remember how much melania loved doing christmas at the white house? >> i'm working like a -- >> jimmy: i believe that is slovenian for "merry christmas?" the white house christmas festivities inadvertently set

off a rare moment of truth on the right wing fox wannabe newsmax today, where the veil of anti-biden b.s. lifted ever so slightly. >> it is the season of giving, and the white house wants texas to give $139,000 to cover the cost of joe biden's first national christmas tree lighting. while inflation still on the rise, many americans may not be able to get their own christmas tree or other holiday necessities. yet the white house, they'll still have theirs. and more. >> it is the white house. i mean, you do want them to have it. is this out of the ordinary? >> no, it's not. they spent $160,000 before. so we're trying to create something out of nothing? never happens on tv. >> we don't do that. >> jimmy: wow. a moment of clarity. that was like watching a dog walk into a mirror. christmas is now less than a month away. thanksgiving is behind us, and now every company is rolling out

their holiday-themed products. and none more so than starbucks who are adding a new flavored coffee to their seasonal collection. >> the holidays are here. and there's no better tradition than starbucks seasonal beverages. we've got all your favorites. caramel apple, pumpkin spice lat latte, and introducing the all-new deviled egg nogguccino. we start with our blend of the finest gas station deviled egg, throw in two shots of espresso. a generous helping of nutmeg and heavy cream. blend it together and top it off with a drizzle of mustard and a dusting of smoked hungarian paprika. you've got a holiday drink that's guaranteed to get your stomach rumbling. the deviled egg nog g uccino. now available at starbucks. we're running out of ideas.

>> jimmy: we have to take a break, but when we come back, we have a challenge. we asked you to go through your mom's house and ask her to explain one item of useless junk they keep around the house. so sure enough, people did. when we come back, we'll take a look -- what do we call that? mother clutter. we'll be right back.

this is your home. this is your family room slash gym.

there for a while, you notice that moms hang onto a lot of crazy stuff. my mother, for example, has a collection of teapots. we have no idea where they came from. they've just been there on the shelf since like 1973. cleto's mom collects little statues of clowns. that are doing different jobs. guillermo, does your mother pco? >> no, nothing, jimmy. i throw it away for her. >> jimmy: you threw her stuff away? >> yeah, she lives in a single apartment. >> jimmy: what does she have? >> old medicine from like 19 -- >> jimmy: that's not a collection. >> i throw out all the things. >> jimmy: i think you're missing the point. all that carving of the chicken has you confused. >> i think so too, yeah. >> jimmy: so i asked our viewers while they were home for thanksgiving to find the strangest thing at your mom's house, ask her to explain it, and then post that explanation using the hashtag "mother clutter." many of you heeded that call.

and with that said, it's time to look at some junk in the first-ever edition of "mother clutter." ♪ ♪ >> okay, jimmy. i am a collector of magnets. i love magnets. i have thousands of magnets. i change them out on a monthly basis. i love them. i can't stop. i even have magnets from places i've never even been before. >> i got it at a garage sale. i guess you got it at a promo after you bought a bottle of booze. i was going to put it in my fairy garden, but it's kind of not fairy-ish. >> feet, feet. >> these are -- what are these? >> it nic china cabinet. that's where you would keep

them. >> what do you do with gal stones? i had it put in a jar. my mother crocheted this little doyly and i keep it in my china cabinet where it longs. >> put the lid on it, and you put it in your bed where your feet are, and then you go to bed, you can sleep with warm feet. that's what this thing is all about. >> cool. and it's not a fire hazard? >> only if you're around. >> it is a very bizarre mug, and i'm not exactly sure what face that is. >> this is my first acquisition, probably 25 years ago. and we move him around the house so he can pee on a dining room chair or a person or something.

>> this is for plants. you know i save everything. >> i'm not sure this qualifies as clutter, because i'm a serious collector. i have everything from very important photographs of flamingos to what something people call frivolous collections. so i don't know how anybody can accuse me of being a hoarder of flamingos. >> mom, what is this? >> a bird cage. >> do you have a bird? >> no. >> why do you have that then? >> i'm hoping i get a bird that's a really good bird. >> you've had it for how many years? >> about 20. >> mom, what's this? >> this is a bird cage. >> that's another bird cage. >> is there a bird in that bird cage? >> no. is there supposed to be? >> mom! what is that? >> it's an antique bird cage.

>> is there a bird in it? >> no. >> damn it! >> these were from when my kids were 7, 8 years old. and i turned it into a planter, so it was like a planter with legs. but that never happened, so they just stayed legs. >> mom, explain this. >> ann gave it to me for christmas one year. >> hold it up to the camera. >> i like it. he doesn't know anything about real art. i love it. it's really so beautiful. it's so wonderful. it's going in the garbage. >> i'm going to throw you in the garbage. >> this is the stupidest thing i

have in my house. >> jimmy: you're welcome, aunt chippy. i think we should do it again for christmas. the hashtag to use is "mother clutter." and after the holidays we'll show our favorites. what better way to celebrate the holidays than by embarrassing the woman who raised you on television? we'll be right back with kathy griffin.

service and military people to drive the really important people, but then when it comes to members of the press, they rely on people like me. >> jimmy: so when you say drive in the motorcade, not as a passenger, but as a driver in the presidential motorcade. did they give you this van to use? >> yeah, they supplied the automobiles. >> jimmy: and what do the reporters say when alan ruck picks them up? >> well, they didn't know it was for me for a while. and then one guy said, do you know who you sound like? he said that alan ruck, that actor. i said, is he any good. if they say yeah, he's good. then i go on. >> jimmy: have you had an instance where they said no? >> i had somebody once say, meh. then i say it's my brother.

it seems like somebody should have went back and paid you some more for that now. >> you know, it was my first big part in a movie. you know, they're going to find any excuse not to pay you. >> jimmy: he's new, he's new. what do people ask you about when it comes to that movie most frequently? >> they're really worried about the car. did you really send that beautiful car out the window? and everybody can relax and breathe a sigh of relief, they were all kit cars. we couldn't afford a real ferrari. they were just wretched. we did this one scene 16 times because the car would not start. and when we sent -- we had three of them. when we sent that one out the window, the crew cheered. >> jimmy: i assume your children have seen the movie? >> jay. i have big kids now, i have younger kids, and a couple years ago, we did a little benefit for

my little kid's school. and my daughter, i guess was about eight years old at the time. again, she was very concerned about the car. she wasn't too concerned about camer cameron. she was worried about the car and was afraid ferris was going to get busted. >> jimmy: ferris turned out okay. congratulations on "succession." the cast is so fantastic, you included. it really is a thrill to be on a show like that. >> i've been waiting for this for 30 years. >> jimmy: well, congratulations. >> thank you. >> jimmy: alan ruck, everybody.
