we appreciate your time. on jimmy kimmel, adam scott. >> lou: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live." tonight, adam scott and charlie puth! and now, jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: thank you. thank you, thank you. guillermo. ♪ that's very nice of you. i'm jimmy. i'm the host. thank you for watching. [ cheers and applause ] and traveling all this way to see us. it's not cheap, i know, to come to this show. you have to pay to park in hollywood. you have to buy gas. you have to buy weed. it adds up, really. [ laughter ] i went to the gas station last night for the first time in a couple weeks.

you know how much it is -- gas is at the station down the street? >> guillermo: like five something? >> jimmy: $5 hupp a gallon. [ laughter ] it cost me $9,000 to fill my tank. it's outrageous. you know, a lot of uber and lyft drivers are quitting their jobs because it costs too much to buy gas. i got in an uber the other day, the guy said he'd only drive me places that were downhill. [ laughter ] [ rimshot ] thank you. what a night to be an uber driver tonight. it is st. green's vomit day. also known as st. patrick's day. also known as the day on which the world's reddest white people wear green. [ laughter ] it's funny, everything we know about st. patrick's day is not true. st. patrick was born in england, not ireland. there are no snakes in ireland to drive out. and that creep wearing the "kiss me i'm irish" t-shirt, probably not irish. [ laughter ] in fact, the world's first recorded st. patrick's day parade took place in what is now st. augustine, florida in 1601. at this parade they drank green

beer and ate green beef. they didn't dye the beef. everything was just very moldy back then. [ laughter ] chicago really gets into the spirit of st. pat's. they dye the whole river green. and you might be surprised to learn that it is a big day in savannah, georgia too. >> chicago's river has already been dyed that gorgeous green. savannah, georgia's forsyth park fountain has gone green too. >> it's time to get lit. we're going to have a great time here. i'm excited. >> i love it. time to get lit. >> that's right. [ applause ] >> jimmy: just two cool dudes bumping fists and getting lit, you know. they had a st. patrick's themed celebration at the capitol this afternoon. it was a luncheon led by nancy pelosi, who treated the crowd to a poem written by bono. >> before i introduce them, i want to -- i got this message this morning from bono. and most of us always, whether we're in ireland or here,

whatever it is, bono has been a very irish part of our lives. >> jimmy: that's true. bono has been a very irish part of our lives. [ laughter ] would you agree with that, guillermo? and may i say you've been a very mexican part of our lives. [ cheers and applause ] >> guillermo: yes! >> jimmy: bono's been a very irish part of our -- after the poem nancy turned the station over to riverdance. i have to say when it comes to camerawork i feel like we don't give the gang at c-span enough credit. ♪ ♪ >> jimmy: what does st. patrick's day mean to me? it means young women dancing while a bunch of creepy old white guys shoot video of it on their phones. [ laughter ] i have to say, i like st.

patrick's day. it's an easy holiday. they encourage you to drink. you don't have to buy gifts. all you really have to do is wear a shirt you wouldn't ever wear any other day on the rest of the year. but the best thing about it is what i believe to be the st. patrick's cathedral of local news moments. every year on this day for the past 16 years we share what was and still is the greatest local news clip of all time. this took place in mobile, alabama in the year of our lord 2006 where townspeople gathered to testify after a real live sighting of a real live leprechaun. >> curiosity leads to large crowds in mobile's crichton community. many bring binoculars, camcorders, even camera phones to take pictures. >> it looked like a leprechaun to me. i looked up in the tree. who else seen a leprechaun? say yeah! >> yeah! >> jimmy: and for those who didn't witness the sighting one local artist who did was able to bring the creature to life for

everyone. >> eyewitnesses say the leprechaun only comes out at night if you shine a light in its direction it suddenly disappears. this amateur sketch was submitted, what the leprechaun looks like. >> jimmy: and what happened to that sketch? where is that sketch? i would pay so much money for that. why is that not hanging at the met? >> others find it hard to believe and have come up with their own theories and explanations for the image. >> could be a crackhead. and told them to get up in the tree and play a leprechaun. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: and that my friends is the true meaning of st. paddy's day. [ applause ] meanwhile, there's a war happening. vlady and the putins are getting hit with more sanctions to punish them for their unprovoked attacks on ukraine. the house today passed a bill to suspend normal trade relations with russia. hadn't we already suspended normal trade relations with russia? yesterday president biden called putin a war criminal.

russia said that was unforgivable. so today biden called him a murderous dictator and a pure thug. tomorrow he's going to call him a stupidhead and it might get really crazy. [ laughter ] i mentioned last night these russian oligarchs have been getting their boats, their huge boats and real estate seized. and the yachtsis are not happy about that. an ol' gk named mikhail fridman who lives in london lost $4 billion because of the sanctions and is now on an allowance of $300 a month. he says he doesn't know how to live on that much money. and while he may no longer have a lot of money, fortunately mikhail fridman still has his looks to rely on. [ laughter ] that was taken right after they told him his credit card had been declined. [ laughter ] even pharmaceutical companies have stopped shipping non-essential drugs to russia, including abbvie, which is the company that makes botox, which is interesting because vladimir putin is widely rumored to use botox. without it the fear is that he may wither and turn into this.

[ laughter ] and while we don't know for sure that putin gets botox shots, this photograph indicates that he absolutely 100% does. [ laughter ] look at that face. smooth as a baby's gruel, isn't it? [ laughter ] look a real housewife of st. petersburg. [ laughter ] what a weird time for russians. their assets are frozen but their foreheads are not. [ laughter ] is anyone here in our audience on spring break right now, breaking from spring? all right. [ cheers and applause ] timid and polite whoo. yes. but spring break is upon us. college students finally can stop worrying about covid and get out and catch some other viruses, the old ones. [ laughter ] florida's still the go-to destination for spring break. and authorities there are reminding young people to have fun within reason. don't use illegal drugs. don't drink unless you're of age. don't drive under the influence. don't say gay. obey the law when you're in florida. [ laughter ] and while spring break does get

crazy, that's not the only nonsense happening in the sunshine state. and with that said it's time for another stellar edition of "this week in florida." ♪ >> what are you [ bleep ] doing? >> only on 10 new video of a shocking and sickening sight on south beach. a man caught on camera touching himself at a busy starbucks. witnesses say the lewd act went on for about ten minutes. >> too much. ♪ [ laughter ] >> jimmy: they've got to make those frappuccinos a little bit more quickly. you know? [ laughter ] starbucks made a big announcement this week. they're getting rid of their disposable cups. by the year 2025 starbucks hopes that customers will use their own mugs or borrow a reusable to go mug from the store. i don't know how to feel about that. i still have my grocery bag in the trunk every time i go to the supermarket. and these starbucks cups have become kind of a symbol of america. they're what you see when you're hung over. they're what you pee into on a long road trip.

they're what your least favorite cowo-worker is holding when he she shows up 15 minutes late for work. [ laughter ] but like it or not, starbucks is moving full steamed milk ahead. >> at starbucks we know we have only one planet. to protect it we plan to phase out all single-use coffee cups by 2025. many have been wondering how this will work. just order your starbucks favorite. one of our expertly trained baristas will serve our coffee to you in a gently repurposed cup. cleaned using ail cutting edge sanitization techniques known as rinse and sleeve. to eliminate only potentially harmful bacteria and allow you to enjoy your starbucks beverage knowing you've made a difference. starbucks. where are you gonna go? [ bleep ] peet's? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: i don't floe don't kn. it's good they're doing that.

starbucks isn't the only company making changes. netflix is cracking down on those of us who share accounts. which i think is everyone, right? they're testing out a program where you'd pay an additional fee to share your password with someone else. does that make any sense? it's like target saying it's buy one get one free but you have to pay for the second thing. [ laughter ] a lot of people are upset about this plan. but guess what? you don't have to buy netflix. because you know who's not going to charge you extra? your old pals here on broadcast television. that's right. [ cheers and applause ] giving you our shows for free. and all you have to do is sit through 29 minutes of commercials for liberty mutual and the baconator from wendy's. [ laughter ] that's our commitment to you. one more thing before we forge ahead. it's thursday night which is a special night because it means it's time to bleep and blur the big moments of the week whether they need it or not. it is "this week in unnecessary censorship." [ applause ] >> there is one restriction today and that is typically

people run out of the crowd and just randomly [ bleep ] strangers. because of covid that's a no-no this year. >> i've been going around and [ bleep ]ing every single person that's -- >> president barack obama said he has tested positive for covid explaining he's had a scratchy [ bleep ] for a couple of days. >> putin must stop or putin must pay. and i can tell you having stood toe to toe with him and [ bleep ]ed him right in the [ bleep ]. vladimir putin only understands [ bleep ]. >> i want to believe it but i don't know. i need somebody to [ bleep ] me. i'm so broken. >> fiona hill, we've been trying to [ bleep ] you for years. please come back. >> ten seconds. good luck. >> yummy [ bleep ]y. >> yeah. >> i'm on my way. but first i must find someone to [ bleep ] my [ bleep ]. ah. maria.

[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: we have a good show for you tonight. charlie puth is here with us. and we'll be right back with adam scott. [ cheers and applause ] >> announcer: abc's "jimmy kimmel live," brought to you by command brand.

[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: welcome back to the show. tonight a very popular young man. he's a singer and a songwriter with a new song called "light switch." and look at what he put on the record right there. i'll be damned if it isn't a light switch. charlie puth is with us tonight. [ cheers and applause ] next week on the show ooh, one of the hosts of the oscars, wanda sykes will be with us. lisa kudrow, jamie lee curtis, and gwen stefani. with music from coin, allison russell, and weezer will be here.

please join us for all that. [ cheers and applause ] our first guest this evening is a talented man, adored by all who know him, with an excellent new show from the great ben stiller called "severance." you can see it fridays on apple tv plus. please welcome adam scott. [ cheers and applause ] how are you doing? >> hi. thank you. >> jimmy: happy st. patrick's day. >> yeah. you know, i realized i'm not wearing green. so i brought this. >> jimmy: what is that? >> it's a green piece of shrubbery. >> jimmy: oh. from? >> from the green room. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: oh. you plucked it out of the green room. >> i plucked it out of the green room. >> jimmy: is this for me? because you should be the one wearing it. i am wearing this ridiculous tie. >> it's for you to have for the length of our interview and then i'm taking it back. >> jimmy: okay. and you can put it maybe -- in fact, would you mind if i adorn

you? because i think this is a nice little touch. >> isn't that nice? >> jimmy: that's nice. [ applause ] maybe you started something. like what's so great about handkerchiefs? no one uses a handkerchief. >> i've been saying this for years, by the way. put shrubbery in the breast pocket. >> jimmy: you have been saying that. >> years. and i'm glad we're finally -- >> jimmy: and people don't listen. that's the thing. >> no. no one listens. >> jimmy: you're not wearing any green. do you celebrate -- you are irish, right? >> i have a little irish heritage. >> jimmy: you're a very irish part of our lives. >> yeah. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: you know? >> yeah. this is the day for it. when bono's the irish part of all of our lives. >> jimmy: yeah. >> yeah, st. patrick's day has always been weird. i've never -- you know, i feel like i don't love st. patrick's day because i feel like as a partially irish person myself the irish people have been through enough and we don't need a holiday where you just go around getting pinched.

like if you don't wear green you get -- you get pinched. >> jimmy: it happened to me today. >> you did? >> jimmy: my daughter -- and i was wearing green. my daughter, who's 7 years old, felt is it wasn't green enough. >> that's right. >> jimmy: and pinched me. she just wanted to pinch me is what it was. in our school they used to punch too. >> they punched you? >> jimmy: i think people misunderstood the word pinch and maybe some of them went with punch. >> they both have a plosive at the beginning of the word. i feel like pinching sucks. i also feel like punching sucks. getting pinched or getting punched, they're both terrible. so why not change st. patrick's day to something more pleasant? as far as what you do when you're not wearing green. >> jimmy: or just maybe -- it obviously didn't sink in because again, you [ bleep ] didn't wear green! >> damn it.

[ laughter ] [ applause ] >> jimmy: and that's what has to happen. as far as being a young man goes, when you're a young man, a teenager coming of age, when did you start drinking? >> oh, yeah. this is a good question. i started drinking probably -- you know what? i actually got a fake i.d. pretty early on. like around 16. 16's around the age. is that -- >> jimmy: i got a fake i.d. -- yeah, like at 16 or 17 years old. >> and that first fake i.d. -- my first fake i.d., i grew up in santa cruz, so we would go up to berkeley to this sketchy part of berkeley where this guy had a shop where you could go and choose which state you want to be from. and he had a huge i.d. enormous and you'd just stand in front of the part where the photo goes. >> jimmy: i totally remember that. >> he just took a picture of it and handed you a picture. >> jimmy: and it worked, right? >> it worked may couple of places. [ laughter ] it worked maybe a couple times.

and then it started disintegrating. but after a while you feel like you need something a little more legit. right? >> jimmy: yeah. they'll take it and then you don't have it and you've got to go back to the guy. >> yeah. and spend another $7. >> jimmy: the big mean guy takes it. >> that's right. and then he uses it. >> jimmy: and then he -- >> that's right. so i actually, when i was 16, i needed a more legit fake i.d. so i did something that was really quite illegal now, thinking back on it. i went down to city hall in santa cruz, and you go in the basement. it's like the city records, you know, bureau, or whatever. i went in there and asked them for my brother's birth certificate. my brother is five, six years older than me. so he was 21 or 22 at the time. and i just -- i went in there and asked for his birth sophisticate and they just gave it to me. and i was like, thanks.

[ laughter ] and i took it. and i drove straight to the dmv and stood in line and brought it up and i was like, yes, my name is david scott and i would like a new driver's license, please. and they took my picture and i got an actual like california -- >> jimmy: oh, you must have been so psyched. >> i was so excited. but then after a few weeks it came in the mail and my mom retrieved it. she just -- yeah, i know. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: that's the flaw in your plan. >> yeah, it's a bummer. she got it and she opened it and was like huh, this isn't the son of mine that's named dave. so she gave it to my brother and my brother sat me down and he's like, i'd like to show you something. he showed it to me. and he kind of begrudgingly paid me the respect that i deserved, actually going through with it,

but did not let me keep it. >> jimmy: is that right? >> that's right. he actually just sent me a photo of it today. >> jimmy: do you have it? >> i do. >> jimmy: what kind of weirdo older brother is this? >> he's an older brother that was looking out for me, and i appreciate it. but at the time -- >> jimmy: you do? >> here we go. there's. >> jimmy: okay. can i show it? >> yeah. please. >> jimmy: you're not still at this address, right? >> no. >> jimmy: okay. oh, yeah, that's you, all right. yeah. i love that they thought you were 21. >> look, i even forged his signature on there. >> jimmy: you shouldn't have been allowed in the cub scouts at this age. >> i look like i'm 7 years old. >> jimmy: do not laminate. oh, yeah, those were the days. do not laminate. well, that's pretty good. well, this is a great lesson for your son graham. >> yeah. >> jimmy: how is the family doing? i know your wife naomi is here. >> my daughter frankie. > jimmy: your daughter frankie is here with us. >> they're good.

you know, we holed up for the pandemic. actually, something weird started happening during lockdown. i don't know if you experienced this at home. but like we started getting more wildlife sort of creeping in to our yard. >> jimmy: yes. >> and we suddenly have rabbits everywhere. at our house. not inside the house but like in the front yard and in the back yard. there's just rabbits. >> jimmy: really? >> yeah. >> jimmy: wild rabbits? >> yeah. just like you see -- when it's cute it has the tail and it's running around and they hop. they look terrific and they're cute, but something i noticed is that there's -- first of all, there's a ton of them because as we all know they love [ bleep ]. >> jimmy: oh, yeah. they do. [ laughter ] frankie. >> sorry. sorry, everybody.

sorry, honey. and candidly, like all joking aside, i love it when they [ bleep ]. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: you do? >> sorry. why did i just do that? >> jimmy: well, it's very supportive of you. >> i'm on their side. >> jimmy: how many rabbits are we talking about like realistically at one time in your yard? when you say a ton of rabbits. >> i mean, i see the big ones who i assume are the parents. and then the cute little babies are following them around. and it's hard not to -- not to think they're adorable. but something i found is that they poop everywhere. >> jimmy: oh, yeah. right. >> they just take dumps wherever. and they're little pellets. and in the back yard, in the lawn what we found is that if you go out and you look, it

looks like the lawn is fine but then you get down there and you like part the grass apart and you really look. there's thousands of pellets, of rabbit pellets there. and our dogs go out there. and here's another thing i didn't know, is for dogs rabbit poop, their pellets, are like skittles or m&ms. >> jimmy: oh, really? [ laughter ] >> they're delicious. they love them. they can't get enough. >> jimmy: that i did not know. >> oh, my god. it's crazy. so this has -- you know, it became this thing that i had to figure out, like how do we get the dogs to stop barfing? so what i found, going out there and picking up the rabbit turds is impractical and would take forever. so i ended up -- you can't sweep them up or rake them up. they're tiny. i got a hand vac, like a dustbuster type thing. you can vacuum them right up because they're like sealed little nuggets. you vacuum them up.

[ laughter ] yeah. >> jimmy: so hold on a second. you are out in your back yard. >> that's right. >> jimmy: bent over. vacuuming up rabbit poop? >> for hours at a time. >> jimmy: how often? >> at least once a week. i know have a hand vac that is charging outside, that's just for rabbit poop. >> jimmy: and i hope your family's making fun of you. >> yes. >> jimmy: yeah, they are. yeah.

[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: that is patricia arquette and adam scott in "severance," which is on apple tv plus. it is produced and directed by

ben stiller. when ben stiller calls and says hey, i have something, do you even ask him what it is or do you say i want to do it? >> honestly, i just ask what it is so he doesn't lose all respect for me. >> jimmy: i see. >> because i just want to do it. immediately. >> jimmy: it's so good. it's really good. i have a couple of questions for you. >> sure. >> jimmy: i watch it. i enjoy it thoroughly. i have no idea what's going on. >> that's right. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: that's supposed to be the case? >> yeah. pretty much. >> jimmy: it is. in a way, i'm sure people have mentioned this to you before, like "lost," where you are constantly trying to figure out what's happening. >> that's right. >> jimmy: you know what's happening. >> yes. >> jimmy: for sure? >> yeah. >> jimmy: because i've been lied to a lot of times. >> uh-huh. yeah. >> jimmy: like andrew garfield was here last night. he lied for like a whole year about spider-man. >> oh, yeah. >> jimmy: so i don't know who to trust -- >> by the way, that was ruined for me the week it came out. >> jimmy: was it? >> yeah, by my sister-in-law. >> jimmy: after it came out? >> like three days after it came

out. >> jimmy: listen, maybe if you didn't have your head down in the rabbit poop all the time you would be -- [ laughter ] >> fair point. >> jimmy: so in the first episode you are in an office building. the walls are white. you're walking down a hall. and then you're walking down a hall. and my wife are watching this. and you're still walking. you make i aturn and you're walki walking, walking. and you're walking so long we start laughing. it's crazy mow -- >> it's really long. >> jimmy: it's the longest walk in the history of television. >> we did it -- we did it like five or six times and on the third time ben said, hey, when you hit around minute four check your watch. [ laughter ] so in the shot i actually do look at my watch once i've been doing it. >> jimmy: that's a nice little note. >> yeah. >> jimmy: is that a real office building? >> no. it was all built on a stage. and they built those hallways so in order to get to the office set, which is where the green carpet and our desks are, you do

have to actuall walk through those hallways, but they're always moving the hallways around depending on what we were shooting. so no joke, 80% of the time i would get lost on the way. i would end up at a dead end and i would just have to yell out like, "it's adam. i'm here." [ laughter ] and someone would have to come find me. it was -- we all went crazy. >> jimmy: i'm sure you're aware that there are a lot of theories about what's going on. people -- they want to be right. they want to guess. even though most of them are so invested in the show they probably don't actually want to know. >> that's right. >> jimmy: so i was thinking i would run some -- these are actual theories from fans of the show. >> all right. >> jimmy: and maybe you could tell me, because i know you can't say. but tell me if they're hot, they're cold or if there's some warmth in there. >> okay. hot, medium, or cold. >> jimmy: yeah. i think hot would be right and cold would be wrong. >> okay. >> jimmy: okay. now, even though -- i recall in

the episode you clearly say you're not in hell. people think you might be in hell. especially because your co-star's name is hell-y. >> oh, interesting. that there's a connection between those two things? >> jimmy: well, yeah, because helly and hell. you understand that. >> i mean, hell is subjective. right? depending on who you are and where you are and -- >> jimmy: like for me it's chuck e. cheese. [ laughter ] >> right. okay. well, let's see here. i don't -- because it's subjective i'll say medium to cold. >> jimmy: okay. all right. that's something. i didn't think we'd get anything. a reddit user has a theory that you're developing digital human feelings for robots. >> cold. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: the lumon organization, which is the

company that you guys work for or are enslaved by, i'm not sure, is not an organization but rather a severed brain. >> oh, wow. that's cold and really cool. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: okay. ms. casey is an obvious android with a goat's consciousness. >> oh, that's amazing. i actually don't totally know the answer to that one. >> jimmy: oh. okay. bert, christopher walken, and irving, jon turturro, are together in real life and in a closeted relationship. [ laughter ] >> i wish that was red hot. >> jimmy: boy, wouldn't it be, though? >> it would be red hot in a number of ways. but it is cold. >> jimmy: lumon is a subsidiary of lululemon, making yoga pants for goats. this one's my theory, actually. >> red hot. >> jimmy: that's hot? >> red hot.

>> jimmy: i knew i would nail it. [ applause ] well, congratulations on the show. it's great. >> thanks, man. >> jimmy: it's on apple tv plus. it's called "severance." watch it on fridays. adam scott, everybody. we'll be back with charlie puth.
