up next, jimmy kimmel. have a good ni >> lou: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live!" tonight -- rebel wilson, randy rainbow, and music from lawrence. with cleto and the cletones. and now, jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: hi, there, everyone. very nice. thank you. hi, everyone. i'm jimmy, i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching and for joining us on a special day in the united states of america. you know whose birthday it is today? the pride of slovenia. the matriarch of mar-a-lago. melania trump turned 52 today.

[ laughter ] birthdays are tough for melania. she's made the same wish for the past twenty years and it never comes true. [ laughter ] the tears keep extinguishing the candles before she can blow them out. everybody knows that melania before she beed best started out as a model who was discovered by a photographer named jerko. this is one of the photos jerko took that launched her modeling career, which took her all way did new york, where she eventually married a much bigger jerko. [ laughter ] i don't know what kind of gift trump gave her, but he did send her a beautiful email today. it started," dear supporter." [ laughter ] birthdays are depressing for a lot of people, but can you imagine being melania? every year, they sing "happy birthday," then you spend the next ten minutes watching the gibbon she married wolf down a whole cake. [ laughter ] part two of trump's contentious interview with piers morgan was released today. piers morgan has been supportive of trump in the past. trump picked him as the winner on "celebrity apprentice" back

in 2008. but trump did not like it when piers told him, directly to his face that he believes he lost a fair election and that he didn't take the pandemic seriously enough. and so their interview which trump assumed would be the usual slathering of his tangerine-colored buttocks ended like this. >> thank you very much, appreciate it. >> thank you. >> okay, let's go. >> that was a great interview. >> yeah, that was fun. >> thank you very much, i really appreciate it. >> turn the camera off. >> mics off too? >> jimmy: and good-bye. [ laughter ] like someone woke up on the wrong side of the toilet this morning. [ laughter ] i guess they're not friends anymore. either way, it's rare to see someone give an interview under a painting of his own crotch. look at that. [ laughter ] now that elon musk is buying twitter, trump finds himself in a very trumpy situation because he raised more than a billion

dollars to start this promising new right-wing media platform, which looks exactly like twitter, but now that he probably won't be banned from twitter anymore, he's kind of stuck. trump has this truth social, which is such a disaster, he himself hasn't even posted on it for 11 weeks. [ laughter ] so it's going to be interesting to see, you know, he claims he won't go back on twitter, but he 100% will go back on twitter, and then this dumb new company he conned everybody out of their money for will become the social media equivalent of a radio shack. a radio shack that is run by devin nunes. >> we just opened this thing wide up a couple of days ago, actually on saturday. >> the president is not sending out tweets yet, right? >> remember, we just opened up, we've been beta testing. we are already getting more engagement, not only than twitter, also even instagram. >> jimmy: yeah. engagement means the four people who are on it have been liking each other's posts.

[ laughter ] trump, who knows all the best people, hired this devin nunes, who as far as i know was a cow milker before he ran for congress, to run this thing. which he is doing so poorly, even the apple polishers at "fox and friends" are complaining about it. steve doocy said he can't even get off their imaginary waitlist and on to the app. >> he's got to turn his phone on and click on the app, he's been let in. >> due to massive demand, we've placed you on a wait list, i'm 621,000 still. >> that's because we're not letting you on. we have to -- >> okay. >> we're just not going to let you on. we're nervous about you. we think you're -- we're not sure if you're a bot yet, doocy. >> we're going to accept him, we're going to accept him. >> jimmy: oh, ha ha ha ha ha. [ laughter ] now there's a leader. that's the guy you want in charge of a major corporation. he will be fired by pick a date, guillermo. >> guillermo: tomorrow.

>> jimmy: no, not tomorrow, let's give him a little more time. >>:ex nt week. >> jmyim: gllerokay, great. by next week, devin nunes is back stacking buckets on daddy's farm. president biden today issued the first pardons of his presidency. biden pardoned several criminals, including his former campaign manager, his former senior white house advisor, and his former national security advisor. wait, no, sorry, wrong president. [ laughter ] that was trump. i had that wrong. [ cheers and applause ] biden pardoned criminals who didn't work for him. our vice president, kamala harris, has tested positive for covid. her press secretary, kirsten allen, which sounds like the name kirstie alley uses to check into rehab -- [ laughter ] says president biden is not considered a close contact since the vice president hasn't seen him since the easter egg roll on april 18th. i don't know, did they have a fight over a jelly bean? why haven't they seen each other in eight days? and speaking of covid, remember dr. deborah birx? scarf lady from trump's covid task force?

well she's got a tell-all on the way. it's called "silent invasion: the untold story of the trump administration, covid-19, and preventing the next pandemic before it's too late." which is a lot of words for someone who never spoke up. [ laughter ] in the book, dr. birx says that press conference when trump told us to drink bleach was a "tragedy." it's amazing. all it took for these people to finally say something was an advance from a book publisher. [ laughter ] the streets here in hollywood are busy with visitors again. once again, our city is packed with disappointed tourists from all over the world. and some of those visitors, primarily the young ones, stay a couple of doors down from us at a youth hostel, the samsun hollywood hostel. these are -- some call them beds. they go for around $30 a night. but tonight, we are going to give a pair of young travelers the chance to compete for a free upgrade to a luxurious hotel and with that said, it's time to play "hostel la vista!" [ cheers and applause ]

our announcer lou, hi. >> lou: hi, jimmy. >> jimmy: lou is with our contestants outside. that's quite an outfit they've got you in. >> lou: a little warm. i prefer to be a jamaican bellman next time, shorts and a little hawaiian. >> jimmy: i didn't know there were -- there was an outfit that said jamaican bellman, but we'll get you one. >> lou: thank you, jimmy. >> jimmy: isn't a jamaican bellman a regular bellman who's stoned? >> lou: i wouldn't mind being that as well. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: let's meet our contestants. karla, hi, where are you from? >> hi, i'm from spain. >> jimmy: what part of spain are you from? >> from the north, from a little town called barbastro. >> jimmy: oh, yes, this is the part i pretend i have some idea where that is. [ laughter ] what do you do for work in -- whatever that town was? >> i was working in the travel industry. >> jimmy: in the travel industry. and are you here as part of your job? >> no, i'm just on holiday.

>> jimmy: you're on holiday. you work in the travel industry and you've decided to stay in a bunk bed at a fleabag hostel? >> yeah, irony, yes. >> jimmy: yes, there is some irony. let's meet your opponent, harry, where are you from? >> london nuk. >> jimmy: what do you do in the uk? >> i worked in food and drink. >> jimmy: how are you like that ho hostel? >> it's interesting. >> jimmy: did you know it was going to be like that when you signed up for it? >> not a clue, no. >> jimmy: all right. so this is what you're playing for, a luxury room at the historic hollywood roosevelt hotel. [ applause ] you'll enjoy a 700 square foot suite, a king size bed, hardwood floors, i think they've got a sink and toilet and everything. you can order overpriced onion rings from room service on us. all you have to do is know more than your opponent knows about our town this place you're visiting. i'm going to ask questions about our city and state. whoever answers more correctly gets the room.

your question is, which ocean borders california to the west? karla? >> pacific. >> jimmy: yes, that is correct, karla. the pacific ocean. you are in the lead. we didn't get that one, we would be off to a really bad start. next question. what famed l.a. tourist attraction west of la brea features pits of tar? harry? >> the tar pits. >> jimmy: that's correct enough, harry, that's right. the la bray ra tar pits. [ applause ] the game is tied. next question. in what california beach town does barbie have a dream house? who rang -- harry? >> is it malibu? >> jimmy: yes, that's correct. malibu barbie. [ applause ] harry's in the lead. this u2 album shares a name with which of california's national parks?

harry? >> joshua tree. >> jimmy: that's right, harry. [ applause ] that's an international question. all right, harry's in the lead. karla, buckle down. what is the name of the longest los angeles street? >> i don't know. >> jimmy: the longest los angeles river. go ahead, karla, give it a shot. >> los angeles? i don't know. >> jimmy: that is right, karla! [ applause ] the los angeles river. and all of a sudden this is a game! >> oh my god. >> jimmy: this is a movie question. >> okay. >> jimmy: the movie "the big lebowski" takes place in l.a. the lead character goes by what nickname? karla? >> dude? >> jimmy: the dude is right. [ applause ] oh my gosh, karla comes from out of nowhere to tie the game. and it's time now for our final question.

>> the stress. >> jimmy: have white boards? lou has your white boards. all right, you're going to have 10 seconds to write down the names of as many kardashian-jenner family members as you can. you ready? go. okay, karla, 10 seconds. karla's off. as many as you can. then i will verify them. [ buzzer ] time's up. pens down. oh, okay, karla, you've got to stop writing. harry, let's see what you have. harry says? kourtney, kim, khloe. that is correct, yes. karla says? khloe, kim, kylie. then just the letter "k." >> sorry. >> jimmy: oh my gosh, we have a tie again? [ laughter ] all right, i'm going to give you one tie-breaking question, here it is. finish this quote. "there's no businesslike?" >> show business.

>> jimmy: that is right, harry, there's no business like show business. harry, congratulations, you're on your way to the suite at the roosevelt hotel. lou will help you with your stuff. >> the loser. >> jimmy: karla, you're not going back to the hostel empty-handed, we have a love fa and a bottle of lite shampoo. [ cheers and applause ] thank you for playing "hostel la vista." we have a good show for you tonight. randy rainbow is here, we have music from lawrence, and we'll be back with rebel wilson.

[ laughter ] >> jimmy: do you hear from people you sing about? >> marjorie taylor greene has not invited me to brunch. the moment she does, i'll call you. >> jimmy: please. >> no, not usually, i really haven't. after the fact, some of the trump, like the mooch. >> jimmy: scaramucci? >> scaramucci, things like that. >> jimmy: that's big of him, i guess. or he's probably just looking for attention. >> listen, you said it, not me. [ laughter ] he's a lovely man. >> jimmy: you have heard from carol burnett, who's quoted on your book. which is -- >> okay, but i don't have to tell you. when your idols reach out to you and become your friends, that's

the most exciting part of all of this. >> jimmy: how did carol burnett reach out to you? >> she's a fan like you. >> jimmy: i believe that. [ laughter ] >> she called me on my cell phone. >> jimmy: she called you, wow. >> she's since become a really good friend. now she will call or send an email every time i put out a video. whose life is this, jimmy? >> jimmy: that's pretty great. >> crazy. i've heard from -- not mel gibson, again.& >> jimmy: uh-huh? >> i've heard from barbra streisand. you know -- just all my idols. >> i like the oos and aahs. >> by the way, it's carol burnett's birthday. >> jimmy: i should have been celebrating hers instead of melania. >> i wanted to thank you for having me on the melania birthday special, a special honor. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: there's a story in the book about an experience you had with me. >> yes, jimmy. haunting me. >> jimmy: is that true? has it really been haunting you? >> i swear to god. it was the 2019 emmy awards, the

creative arts emmys. >> jimmy: yep. >> i had been nominated for the first time, i was in shock, i didn't realize you could get nominated for an emmy for making videos in your living room, essentially what i do. i got the nomination. we showed up. and, you know, i kind of secretly thought it would be like a dinner party at applebee's or something. but then it was the real emmys. >> jimmy: this is the first awards show you'd ever been to? >> yeah. i'm in my apartment making videos with no pants on, what award shows are they inviting me? but i got there, it was a real red carpet. and we went into the microsoft theater. and i was in the front row. and there's kim kardashian. and norman lear was behind me. and rupaul. and i'm seated in the front row. next to me is anthony anderson, you dear friend, who asked my mother for a tic-tac, which was her emmy award. [ laughter ] she has not stopped talking about it. and then there was you. and i'm standing before the show, we're all standing, i'm

talking to my mother, who is my date. i'm dating my mother. and i'm saying, can you believe this is happening? it's crazy. then i feel a tap on my shoulder. and i turn. and it's america's sweetheart, jimmy kimmel. [ laughter ] and i -- you're a pro at this now, but i'm sure in your early days, when you meet people -- i've loved you for so long. when you meet people that you have admired for years, like -- i put so much expectation on that moment. >> jimmy: oh. >> so jet lagged, i was exhausted, maybe a little drunk. i just -- i was thinking all these things going through my head, like this is my moment to shine for jimmy kimmel, if i make an impression he'll invite me home to -- to melania, i almost said, you're not married to her. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: molly, but i'm going to start calling her melania now. [ applause ] >> don't do that, i love my molly. i'm going to have to -- >> jimmy: i changed her name in my phone to ivanka.

>> you're horrible. i'm going to go on vacation with howard stern and jimmy kimmel. of course this is crazy. so everything just, like -- you know, you were very gracious to come say hello. >> jimmy: yes, i saw you. yes, i totally remember this. >> you do? >> jimmy: i 100% remember it. >> to me, and it might not be -- it's probably -- it was a blip. 20 seconds. for me it was like four hours. >> jimmy: i remember seeing you, oh, yeah, that guy's funny. i went over and said hello and you were there with your mother. >> right. i wanted to say all these things to you but i started vomiting word salad is what i remember. and i introduced you to my mother. and there was a lot of awkward pauses, i remember. and i wasn't saying any of the things i wanted to say. and you were so gracious, as always. but you wouldn't leave. [ laughter ] i wanted you to go. not because of you, because of me. i was -- i was -- i was bombing. >> jimmy: this all sounds right, yeah. [ laughter ] >> really? >> jimmy: about me being asked on to leave, yeah, something that happens to me regularly. >> i just remember, i didn't know what to do.

i put my hand on your shoulder and i remember petting you. [ laughter ] like a little bunny. and then finally i dismissed you. "okay, well thank you." [ laughter ] "that's enough." i dismissed jimmy kimmel. >> jimmy: and i went on my way, yeah. >> oh my god. >> jimmy: i was probably -- probably my seat was there too. >> your seat was right there. >> jimmy: you've written this scenario of how you wish it had gone. >> i wrote a chapter called "not now action jimmy kimmel." and in it i kind of wrote the transcript of how i wish, when i'm standing in the shower in the morning shearing at the shampoo, how i wish this conversation happened. >> jimmy: let's make it happen. >> can we do it. >> jimmy: >> jimmy: let's rewrite history here. [ cheers and applause ] >> thank you. >> jimmy: okay, all right. i go -- >> page 39 if you're following along. >> jimmy: chapter 15. >> thank you, okay. please start. >> jimmy: randy, randy, randy! >> jimble kimble, my man, how row doing? >> jimmy: looking good, friend. >> jimmy, i need you to really

sell it, though. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: looking good, friend. >> well, hey, what can i say, i take after you, you handsome son of a bitch. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: you write a speech? >> what for? you know "carpool karaoke" is going to steal it. >> jimmy: i wouldn't be so sure, you [ bleep ] national treasure. [ laughter ] >> takes one to know one, [ bleep ]. how's my girl molly? >> jimmy: on her way in, she can't wait to see you. save you a seat at the after? >> grab me a tito's soda -- then you come in. >> jimmy: splash of cran? >> you remembered! [ applause ] >> jimmy: you know it. then i say? >> then you do. >> jimmy: baba-booey. >> and a fafa-flow-fi to you.
