>> lou: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live" with guest host, mike birbiglia! tonight -- ewan mcgregor -- ben schwartz -- and music from the head & the heart. with cleto & the cletones. and now, mike birbiglia! [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> mike: how are you? hey, how are you? thank you. my gosh, wow. do you believe this? can you believe? cau believth'rletting me host this thing again? let's see how we do. i am your guest host, mike birbiglia. i'm filling in for jimmy, who we love, who is out with covid.

we checked in with jimmy and his wife molly yesterday and this is what they're up to. [ laughter ] you know, plenty of fluids. [ laughter ] i'm not sure those are the right fluids. that's what they're up to. i will say, i'm having a great time. so jimmy, i know this is maybe a weird thing to say, feel free to have covid as long as you want. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] it starting to feel -- it looks like long covid. i'm not a doctor. [ laughter ] but i like long hosting. everyone who works at this show is really tremendous. they keep telling me things like, "you're in the way." [ laughter ] "can i see your badge?" [ laughter ] it really means so much to me. i hosted last night and the reviews came pouring in. here on youtube one of them said, "never heard of this guy, pleasantly surprised."

[ laughter ] i'll take it, i'll take it, that's a compliment, that's a compliment! [ cheers and applause ] >> mike: i have no idea who he is but i am beyond passing out tired, good night, i will google him in the morning." [ laughter ] i appreciate the tenacity in the research there. they're going to google me this morning, that's great. keep us posted. [ laughter ] here's another one. “never heard of this man. why not call somebody like the rock?” [ laughter ] i mean -- i got to say, the rock's pretty busy. [ laughter ] i mean, the rock, no one's ever said "we can't get birbiglia, what if we got the rock?" [ laughter ] that youtube commenter may not be the booking genius that they think they are. and by the way, the rock isn't as good a friend as i am.

i mean, i -- [ laughter ] [ applause ] maybe i'm jimmy's rock! guillermo, do you think maybe that's true? >> guillermo: i think it's true, but you're doing a wonderful job. >> mike: that's really nice of you, that's really nice. [ cheers and applause ] i was actually supposed to be a guest on the show this week. i was coming on to talk about a new show that i wrote, a solo show, "the old man in the pool." now that i'm hosting, i can't promote that show. [ laughter ] which is sort of unfortunate that i'll be in chicago, the steppenwolf theater, through may 22nd. i'll be in los angeles at the forum july 27th to august 28th. and now you'll never know that. [ laughter ] tickets are available -- birbigs.com. i don't want to make a big deal of it.

[ applause ] i don't want to go overboard, but act now or you may lose out. [ laughter ] i'm here from new york city. it's always interesting being here in los angeles. the weather is different, the food, the crime, even. >> the driver in a white box truck led lapd on a wild pursuit. according to officers around 3:30 a.m., the suspect burglarized a grow house in venice and drove off with several crates of marijuana. some of the crates fell out of the back of the truck during the pursuit. [ applause ] >> mike: i want to be clear. i don't usually drive like that. [ laughter ] i had somewhere to be, and a ton of weed in my truck. [ laughter ] i was on my way to jimmy and molly's. no, that wasn't me. i don't smoke a lot of pot because i'm the person when you spoke pot is like, "do you guys hate me?" [ laughter ]

"why does my heart hurt, is that rickets?" yeah. it's not a good look. [ applause ] i saw this in the news today. a 100 year-old man just broke the world record for working at the same company. he's worked there for 84 years. this is a picture here. [ laughter ] [ applause ] no come on now, come on. it's actually -- no, it's actually this guy in brazil who's been at the same company since 1938. it's very odd. right now there's a record number of people actually quitting their jobs. 4.5 million americans quit their jobs in march. which i can relate to. [ laughter ] i've always wanted to leave every job i've ever had. when i was in high school i worked as a bus boy at this restaurant and the chefs were so mean to me. and one day, one of them asked me, “how'd you even get this job?"

"oh, my brother joe worked here last summer." his eyes lit up, "your brother is joey bag of doughnuts?" [ laughter ] and i said, "yes." i went home that night, "joe, was your nickname at the restaurant joey bag of doughnuts?" he goes, "no, that was this other guy." [ laughter ] "that guy was awesome." so for the rest of the summer i had to live the lie. that my brother was joey bag of doughnuts. [ laughter ] literally, the people in the kitchen would be like, how much does joe-bag drink? i'd be like, so much. [ laughter ] i lived in fear that the real joe-bags would walk through that kitchen door, blow my cover. so i can understand why people are leaving their jobs. [ laughter ] it's not fun sometimes i don't know if you noticed here on your way into the theater tonight. there's more darth vaders than usual on hollywood boulevard.

[ laughter ] because it's may 4th, also known as "star wars day." [ cheers and applause ] yeah. obviously a huge deal. we're celebrating. ewan mcgregor on the show tonight. [ cheers and applause ] yeah. we are so prime. “star wars” is one of the only movie franchises with its own holiday. you don't see anybody dressing up as vin diesel and wishing you "a happy fast 5th." [ laughter ] i'm a fan of “star wars” and just a fan of movies in general. i think movies are a bit like life. you know, it's like sometimes your friend dies and you're so sad and you think, "well, i guess he wasn't the protagonist." [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> there are a lot of big "star

wars" fans here on the staff. one of them is guillermo. [ cheers and applause ] >> guillermo: yes! >> mike: guillermo supposedly wears his "star wars" t-shirt to week once a week? >> guillermo: no, maybe once a month. [ laughter ] >> mike: once a month. >> guillermo: yeah. >> mike: this is a real thing. you have a "star wars" scene that you put on your lawn at christmas? >> guillermo: yeah, every year. right there. i got a millennium falcon right there. i got -- these. [ laughter ] and -- and -- and all -- all the "star wars." [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> mike: i don't know. i was with it until he said all the "star wars." >> guillermo: i tried. >> mike: all the "star wars"? >> only a few, yeah. >> mike: only several of the

"star wars," i think. i was confused because i thought guillermo lived at the studio here. [ laughter ] also, why christmas for "star wars"? what religion are you observing? i sort of get it. "star wars" and the bible have similarities. they both have story issues. [ laughter ] they're overly interpreted. so i was talking to some of the nerds here at the office. [ laughter ] >> guillermo: yeah. >> mike: we decided we're going to do a little quiz to see how much you know about "star wars." [ cheers and applause ] do you want to do this? come over here. >> guillermo: okay. all right. >> mike: so -- all right. >> guillermo: all right. >> mike: look, you don't have to get them all right. >> guillermo: no, listen, i'm okay not getting even one right.

[ laughter ] >> mike: what planet is luke skywalker from? >> guillermo: oh, i think it's the -- i remember that one. the tattoo something? >> jimmy: close. tattooine. >> guillermo: i got it. [ applause ] >> mike: what's the name of this ship we'll show you here? >> guillermo: i think that's the -- oh, i seen it in the christmas decoration. [ laughter ] is that the mi -- millennium falcon? [ cheers and applause ] >> mike: oh my goodness. >> guillermo: i've got two already, yes! >> mike: you really sounded it out there. what is darth vader's relationship to luke sky walker? >> guillermo: oh -- i think they're friends. [ laughter ] >> mike: they are friends. they are friends. >> guillermo: no, not friends, they're enemies. >> mike: well -- >> guillermo: one is on the good side, the other is on the bad side. [ laughter ] >> mike: i respect that you have a sort of open-ended interpretation of the movie. father/son.

>> guillermo: father/son, okay. all right. >> mike: i have to say, that's sort of fundamental to the plot of "star wars." [ laughter ] >> guillermo: no, listen. every time i watch the movie, i always fall asleep. [ laughter ] [ applause ] >> mike: you need different lawn decorations, i think. >> guillermo: i start watching the movie, then i go get a white claw. [ laughter ] >> mike: a what? >> guillermo: a white claw. then i get another one. i fall asleep and my son watch the movie. [ laughter ] >> mike: white claw. white claw is some kind of wine cooler thing? a spritzer, alcohol thing? >> guillermo: yeah, but sometimes i drink maybe more. [ laughter ]

>> mike: right, sure, yeah. yeah, yeah. okay. who's this character? >> guillermo: oh -- yeah, that one i know. that one is baby yoda. >> mike: well done. [ cheers and applause ] follow along. follow along at home, by the way. you can be doing a white claw drinking game right now if you want with these. okay, what's this character's name? >> guillermo: oh, yeah. um -- uh -- princess -- princess, uh -- princess leia. [ cheers and applause ] >> mike: yeah, yeah. you're earning your lawn decorations tonight. what is this character's name? [ cheers and applause ] >> guillermo: oh, that's -- uh -- oh, that's the guy -- wan -- >> mark: juan, yes, juan. >> guillermo: not juan, wan. [ laughter ]

wan -- wan -- >> mike: we're going to have to -- we've got a timer or something on this. >> guillermo: i know it. obi wan. [ applause ] >> mike: we're going to count it. and thank god you got that right. because the actor who plays that character is a guest on this show tonight. [ cheers and applause ] i think we learned a valuable lesson here, which is if someone in your life plays, give them the quiz. we've got a great show for you tonight. ben schwartz is here.

[ laughter ] >> man, you're doing really well, man, you're just doing great, well done. >> mike: i -- thanks.

[ cheers and applause ] yeah, i can't tell you how strange it is. but i'm a massive fan of yours. so with your -- with, like, the "star wars" universe, and people obviously -- someone has a lightsaber in the audience here. people are obsessed. do your fans probably know sometimes more than you do about the movies? >> yeah, yeah, yeah. guillermo knows how to pronounce my character's name better than i do. [ laughter ] [ applause ] >> guillermo: yeah! obi-wan kenobi! >> yes, i often come unstuck with fans when they start talking about planets, you know -- i'm not as up to speed on everything as i should -- i should probably get one of those "star wars" manuals that tells you everything. >> mike: sure, yeah. >> luckily on this series, we had deborah chow, our amazing director, she really knows across all the -- now "star

wars" has become -- it's the movies, but it's also tv shows, it's computer games, it's -- >> mike: right. >> it's cartoon books, comics. all of the storylines have to sort of match up. >> mike: sure. >> you can't have some fact in the video game that doesn't match up to the movie. so i would be totally at sea there. but she was amazing at knowing all of that stuff. and guiding the writers as well with that. >> mike: did you -- do you watch yourselves in the "star wars" movies? >> i watched all of them to prepare for this. because the last one i did was, we shot the episode iii in sydney, australia in 2003, i think. it's been quite some time. almost 20 years. so -- but when i knew we were going to do this and we started getting ready to do it, i did watch all of them. i sat -- i didn't do them in one go. [ laughter ] >> mike: yeah, yeah. by the way, some people do. >> they do, i know.

>> mike: we've got one of those guys right here. [ laughter ] >> i watched them all. i was really -- it was really interesting to go back to the, you know, the first one with liam and ahmed best. there was such a huge thing to happen, i mean, in my life, it was a bit like you now, me becoming obi-wan kenobi is like you hosting "jimmy kimmel" overnight. [ laughter ] >> mike: we don't have to make comparisons, ewan. >> it was a big deal. to watch that movie again was really great fun. also, it was nice to see them, you know -- it was tricky at the time. they did -- they weren't overwhelmingly embraced by everybody when they came out, our prequels. and so it was nice to watch them now, knowing that people loved them, that there's a -- the kids who we made them for at the time, they loved those films a lot. it was nice to watch them with

that sense now. >> mike: i grew up on the originals. and i was shocked when i found out that your uncle was in the originals as an actor. >> yeah. >> mike: i couldn't believe that this is -- this had not -- i had not heard this information. >> the first film i think i went to see -- no, it wasn't the first film i went to see in the cinema, because that was "bedknobs and broomsticks." [ laughter ] >> mike: another classic, by the way. >> another classic. >> mike: i think it was "bedknobs and broomsticks day." >> day. standing outside the school i was 5 or 6, standing outside the school with my brother. and my mom and dad picked us up, they were taking us to the big city to watch a movie that my uncle, dennis, was in. we went and were so excited to go and see, you know, your uncle in a movie. it was so exciting. then we sat down and it was "star wars." [ laughter ] blew our minds away, you know. amazing. amazing. he played a character called wedge. he survives all three of the original "star wars" movies. there he is, wedge.

look at the size of that thing, he says, as he comes in. [ laughter ] [ applause ] uncle dennis. he's doing a musical in great britain at the moment, touring around, they're going to be at the barbican. "anything goes." he's a real song and dance man, my uncle dennis. he's always been my acting hero. if i ever got stuck at work, he's the only person i'd ever phone and ask, you know, acting advice. i'm very like him. i see -- i see bits of him in my work all the time. i call him, actually, from sets sometimes. "den, i totally did you again today." [ laughter ] after about 10 years, 15 years of doing this he called me one day, "ewan, i [ bleep ] did you today." [ laughter ] >> mike: oh my god, that's unbelievable. i was told you received something special today. >> yes. i got sent over my -- i really did only just see this about an hour ago.

my doll. [ cheers and applause ] >> mike: oh my gosh. oh my gosh. that is so funny. >> i don't know, i think -- i think that -- i don't know if it's just me. like, they scan you. they have these machines that they read your body and your -- every data point in your being is recorded. and then still -- [ laughter ] it somehow doesn't quite look like me. >> mike: still. and then still. [ applause ] it's not quite right. >> i look like -- i look like -- >> mike: that is great. >> i look like richard chamberlain in the first one from episode i. dead like richard chamberlain. maybe they had an old scan of his that they just used for me.

episode i made and alec guinness in episode iv in "the new hope." and i was right. we found a really good story to tell in that time frame. so it's ten years after the end of episode iii. you know, we've seen me at the end of episode iii take luke skywalker to uncle owen and aunt beru on tatooine. that's another story. i take the baby there and drop him off. this is ten years later. and the jedi order has all but been destroyed. everyone else who wasn't destroyed in order 66 is in hiding. so i've been, you know -- and i'm carrying the guilt, or obi-wan is carrying the guilt of having failed anakin and lost anakin to the dark side. so he's a bit of a -- he's a bit of a mess, you know. he's at a very low point. >> mike: yeah.

i remember one time i did 14 shows in three days. >> mike: yeah. >> which is crazy. it's insane. i'm so excited that you're doing this. >> mike: oh, thanks. >> he's doing a great job. yep. [ cheers and applause ] >> mike: thanks, thanks. >> how do you feel? was the first day very nerve-racking, then today feels more like, okay, i understand what's going on? or no? i'm going to be interviewing you. [ laughter ] >> mike: no, it's an honor, i love the show. then you're in the show. >> yeah. >> mike: that's a strange, sort of surreal experience. no, i was watching your series, which is -- >> well done, you brought it right back. [ laughter ] >> mike: no, it wasn't a great segue, no. i was going to talk about "afterparty." >> please. >> mike: i thought, there must be so much improv in there. >> there is. "after party" is a murder mystery show on apple tv plus, it's so fun. >> mike: lord miller, brilliant, "22 jump street." >> "the lego movie."

chris miller. chris directed all the episodes. sam richardson, ike barinholtz, tiffany haddish, me, dave franco, a thousand talented people in it. each episode is a different genre film. mine was a musical. while you're figuring out whodunit, i sing songs and dance for the first time on camera. >> mike: yes. >> i thought that was very nerve-racking but very exciting. >> mike: so what was the dancing, what did that look like? >> it was like this -- first of all, i gained so much respect, always had, but even more so for dancers. there is a wonderful choreographer called cat. she would take 40 minutes of teaching me how to do something for the first time, i'm so grateful. then six dancers would come in, "all right, it's an elephant twist with a buffalo snap, one, two, three, five, six, seven, eight." you guys know. everything i learned in 45 minutes, they learned in one sentence perfectly, and they're behind me crushing it. and i'm like, argghh! [ laughter ] it's incredible what these dancers can do. did you ever dance?

>> mike: never danced. >> in your life? you've never done a dance? >> mike: i did a dance thing for "this american life" but i couldn't nail it. >> what was your song? for your wedding? oh no. >> mike: i got married at city hall. >> what dance did you do? [ laughter ] >> mike: we just go, "we're gonna go!" is that a dance? >> yeah, gorgeous. like a martin short-type dance. [ laughter ] >> mike: they were saying that you were going to tell a story about dancing and i go, will he dance on the show? and they go, no, no. >> really? [ laughter ] am i being pimped to do this? [ cheers and applause ] there's a term. oh my god. i've never asked a band -- this would be -- with all respect -- you don't understand. i came up writing -- freelancing monologues for "late night." for letterman. if you could play a song for me to do one hip-hop move for one second?

i'm not going to nail it so don't make the music great because this is going to be subpar. [ laughter ] you know what i mean?

[ laughter ] if we can make that the youtube clip, that would be heaven. >> mike: no, no, don't do this to me. >> oh! [ cheers and applause ] i want to see mike dance. >> mike: oh, no. oh no.

[ cheers and applause ] >> mike: whoo! you have my number. you wrapped a movie with nicholas cage. >> i did. >> mike: which has got to be a dream. >> chris mac caid directed it. and nick cage, who was on "kimmel" a week or two ago, one of the first times he's been on

a late-night talk show in forever and he's amazing. incredible, nick cage on air. "con air." >> mike: forget about it. do you fan out with him or play it cool? >> i tell him that i've seen everything he's done. [ laughter ] i get there, i was like, hi, i'm ben. he's like, i'm nick cage. of course. "raising arizona." and i go through everything. he did a movie, "con air," with john malkovich who i did "space force" with. [ cheers and applause ] >> mike: oh my goodness. >> well, just got canceled. the show just got canceled. where were you guys a week ago? [ laughter ] could have used it, now you got to watch "the afterparty." so i watched "con air." right after "con air" i texted john malkovich, is it possible for me to facetime you and ask questions about "con air"? "of course, ben, i'm available in five minutes." so i got to do that. we watched "con air" in a theater with john malkovich. >> mike: whoa!ce force" crew.- >> very exciting. these are wonderfully talented

human beings. >> mike: this segues perfectly into my "sonic the hedgehog part 2" question.

[ cheers and applause ] >> i admit, i usually get a mug, this is insane. >> mike: i know, things have gotten -- >> a piece of scotch tape that says "birbiglia" or something like that. >> mike: it's all gone to jimmy's house. they're spending all the money there this week, it's weird, >> "sonic 2." i'm a huge video game fan. when i was young, even now, i'd play roleplaying games, "final fantasy 7" for 70 hours. sonic was a huge part when i was a kid. the idea that i get to be the voice for people that have never heard of "sonic" and play the gamed that i played, i'm in heaven. >> mike: incredible.

>> i can't believe how well -- i'm so excited people connect with it. [ cheers and applause ] >> mike: it's so cool. "sonic the hedgehog 2" is in theaters now.
