now and jimmy kimmel dating a have a good night. >> lou: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live!" tonight -- dana carvey. and "science bob" pflugfelder. with cleto and the cletones. and now, jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: appreciate that. thank you. that's very nice. welcome. thanks. i'm jimmy, i'm the host. thank you for watching and thank you for joining us on a -- well, i'm glad you're in a good mood. [ cheers and applause ] i was wondering, because this is a day that -- i don't know what word to use to describe it here.
11:36 pm
shocking? unfathomable? stupefying? yes, a stupefying day in our nation's history. the senate this afternoon took a vote on whether women should have the right to choose to have an abortion. the bill would have guaranteed pro-choice rights nationwide. it did not pass. it needed 60 votes. it only got 49. even though a strong majority of american voters want those rights protected, every democrat voted in favor of the bill except joe manchin, who voted with his fellow republicans. [ laughter ] with the supreme court likely to overturn roe v. wade, the democrats wanted to get their counterparts on the record opposing it. chuck schumer said he called for the vote so we would know where republicans stand. turns out, they're standing in the year 1865. [ laughter ] it almost feels like maybe we shouldn't have let the host of "celebrity apprentice" pick three supreme court justices. you know? [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] it also almost makes you wish that for the last, i don't know, four years we had a president who believed in letting women make decisions for themselves.
11:37 pm
a man like this guy. >> i'm -- i'm very pro-choice. i hate the concept of abortion. i hate it. i hate everything it stands for. i cringe when i listen to people debating the subject. but you still -- i just believe in choice. but i am strongly for choice. and yet i hate the concept of abortion. >> but you would not ban it? >> no. >> jimmy: he must have shot that before eric was born. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] you know, you always hear people -- that don jr./eric one-two punch really changed his thinking on that. [ laughter ] i never imagined it would actually come to this. that we would go so far backwards. and there was some five-star nonsense happening on the senate floor. steve daines, the republican senator from montana, presented an argument that seems to have gotten it from an old saturday morning cartoon. >> if you look at federal law, if you were to take or destroy the eggs of a sea turtle -- and i said the eggs. not the hatchlings. that's also a penalty. but the eggs.
11:38 pm
the criminal penalties are severe. up to $100,000 fine and a year in prison. now, why? why do we have laws in place that protect the eggs of a sea turtle or the eggs of eagles? because when you destroy an egg, you're killing a preborn baby sea turtle or a preborn baby eagle. >> jimmy: okay, now i have some visual aids to explain just how dumb that was. [ laughter ] hello, i'm a sea turtle. and i can't believe i need to say this, but we aren't human beings! now, i know some of you might look like us. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] but sea turtles, we are an endangered species. humans are not. and if a mama sea turtle doesn't want to have a baby, there's no old white guy from montana telling her she has to. she just lays her eggs in the sand and crawls away. and unlike people, mama sea turtles don't have to work to
11:39 pm
support their kids. or feed them. or drive them to school. "and what about cases of rape?" oh, eagle, you know that doesn't happen to eagles or turtles. [ laughter ] "okay, can i eat your eggs?" oh, no, please don't. but the next time you fly over montana, will you take a big poop on steve daines? "yes, i will." thank you. [ cheers and applause ] it's very simple, right? now i got these on. [ laughter ] even around half of republicans believe the right to have an abortion should be protected by law. this could, and should, be a big issue ahead of the midterms, which are now less than six months away. but the issues themselves don't matter much anymore. what matters is that you make sure everyone knows that you are pro-life. pro-human life. with notable exceptions. >> inflation is skyrocketing. putin is out of control. and brandon is asleep at the
11:40 pm
wheel. but the gop has a plan. and that plan is -- guns. to shoot our problems in the head. we're shooting at beer bottles. into the woods. at nancy pelosi impersonators. >> the good people of arizona have had enough of you! >> at dominion voting machines. >> i'm ron hanks and i approve this message. >> this guy even has a cannon. >> fire! >> still technically a gun. we've got women with guns. kids with guns. old ladies with guns. evening, madam governor. >> no step too high for a high stepper. >> we even have tv doctors with guns. >> when people say i won't support guns, they're dead wrong. pull! >> oops. your republican party 2022. sun's out, guns out. >> ow. my clavicle. >> jimmy: i'm sure there's a miracle salve you can rub on that.
11:41 pm
[ applause ] everything is crazy now. we keep learning more about our former president during his 48 years in office. according to "rolling stone," trump in 2019 asked his national security team an interesting question. he wanted to know whether china was creating hurricanes and shooting them at us. [ laughter ] and we're so used to it, it barely even registers anymore. and by the way, nobody thought to sound the alarm on the fact that the president of the united states was asking if china was making hurricanes to attack us. we're just now hearing about it. no one felt it was important to share that. and what did his advisors even say? did they lick a finger, put it in the air, and say, "yes, feels like a homemade china hurricane to me." [ laughter ] a former white house official said "it was almost too stupid for words." which see, that's what trump should be printing on his hats. right? [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] and i love that he's focused on hurricanes. because no person in history is more obsessed with wind than
11:42 pm
donald trump. he hates wind. i assume because of his hair. before he was president his whole identity was that golden rat's nest on his head. [ laughter ] wind is the culprit behind photos like these. [ laughter ] the wind is his enemy, he's against the wind, like bob seger. even against windmills because they have the word "wind" in their name. >> they said sir, it is so windy out there. >> it was raining and windy. >> the wind was blowing and the rain, and i was soaking wet. >> it's windy as hell out there. >> that wind is hitting me hard. >> the wind was right smack in my face. >> it was so windy. >> the wind was coming right into my face. >> i have the wind, i'm freezing my ass off. >> i'm all up here and that wind is blowing. >> that wind is pouring in as i'm talking, it's pouring in up the mouth, up the nose. >> it was blowing so hard. >> plus the wind was blowing so hard. >> it was blowing right in my face. >> the wind was howling. >> a little wind. about two miles an hour. >> 30-mile-an-hour winds. >> with the wind blowing at 40 miles an hour. >> 50 miles an hour. >> the wind came in 58 miles an
11:43 pm
hour. >> 70 miles an hour. >> 200 miles an hour. >> wind. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah. that's the movement he does with his hair growth. [ applause ] this out now. i don't know if you saw this. i would like to hear trump's reaction to this tape. one guy who goes whichever way the wind blows is lindsey graham. there's some newly leaked audio of senator graham, recorded on january 6th, just after the attack on the capitol. it reveals an angry lindsey, who is clearly looking forward to the calming presence of joe biden. >> this is a group within a group. what this does, there will be a rallying effect for a while, the country says we're better than this. >> biden will help that, right? >> totally. he'll be maybe the best person to have, right. i mean, how mad can you get at joe biden? >> jimmy: i don't know. ask the animals who keep calling him brandon, i guess. senator graham has not commented on the tape yet. but you know you're a crappy
11:44 pm
person when somebody damages your reputation by recording you being nice. [ laughter ] and of course once the smoke cleared it took almost no time for lindsey to get right back to licking trump's golf shoes and beating biden up. >> joe biden scared the hell out of me tonight. he looked weak as commander in chief. >> putin owns biden. biden is afraid of escalation. he's afraid of making putin mad. >> biden is afraid of putin. >> joe biden is responsible for the rise of isis as much as any single american politician. >> get off your ass and go to the border and look and see what you have caused. >> he has blood on his hands and he's made america less safe and he's been the most consistently wrong man on foreign policy in my lifetime. >> jimmy: the reason he does this, as we all know, is because lindsey graham's spine is made of twizzler. [ laughter ] the strawberry one. meanwhile, mike pence was at rice university yesterday to complain about the high price of gas. >> i often say one of the great parts about no longer being vice president is i get to drive my
11:45 pm
own car. one of the worst parts is i get to pay for my own gas. i was actually visiting my daughter. and my unworthy son-in-law. who's a navy pilot in california. and i did the father-in-law thing. i said, let me take your truck down to the gas station and fill it up before we leave. $6 a gallon in california. i almost had to take out a mortgage. >> jimmy: he delivers his speeches like a comedian, like he's waiting for the laughs. but then they don't ever come. [ laughter ] so we thought we might do him a favor, throw him a little funnybone. >> you know, i often say that one of the great parts about no longer being vice president is i get to drive my own car. [ laughter ] one of the worst parts is i get to pay for my own gas. [ laughter ] i was actually visiting my daughter. and my unworthy son-in-law. [ laughter ]
11:46 pm
who's a navy pilot in california. and i did the father-in-law thing. i said, let me take your truck down to the gas station and fill it up, you know, before we leave. [ laughter ] $6 a gallon in california. i almost had to take out a mortgage. [ laughter ] ♪ >> jimmy: get that man a netflix special and a big glass of milk! [ cheers and applause ] bill gates announced yesterday that he tested positive for covid. apparently, he forgot to update his virus protection. [ rim shot ] thank you. [ laughter ] for whatever dingbat reason, a lot of the anti-vax crowd sees this as some kind of validation. including tucker carlson, who could barely contain his glee. >> today the unthinkable happened. bill gates announced on twitter, and we're quoting, "i've tested positive for covid." >> jimmy: does he realize whenever he does that impression he sounds like he's imitating himself? [ laughter ]
11:47 pm
this ought to get tucker's tighty whities in a twist. barbie is getting a hearing aid. that's right. in an attempt to be inclusive, mattel is rolling out barbie dolls with various physical conditions. one of the conditions is hearing loss. which means barbie will come with hearing aids. which is an amazing step towards inclusion that your child will immediately swallow. [ cheers and applause ] i didn't know this, but apparently barbie lost her hearing after her owner's little brother taped a firecracker to her head. [ laughter ] have you seen the new "doctor strange" movie? [ cheers and applause ] almost everyone on planet earth has. it's already made more than half a billion dollars. and as you know, whenever a very big movie comes out, we send our in-house critic to give it a look. and we've done it again. here's our own sorcerer supreme, yehya, talking about "doctor strange in the multiverse of madness." >> hi, it's me, yehya. talk about the new movie today behind me.

"magic hole." bye! [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: thank you, yehya. thanks to victory and bert too. we have a fun show for you tonight. "science bob" pflugfelder is here.

[ laughter ] >> no -- that was my first joke. >> jimmy: can't wait to hear the answer. >> all those years i was raising my kids up in the woods in northern california.
11:56 pm
>> jimmy: yeah. >> i knew jay leno from the clubs so i would just perfunctorily go on his show. he would call me a lot at home. "you come on, you do your stuff, it's okay. you know we got a good show down there in burbank, maybe you'll come down for a while, you know? i mean, you know. dave gets the money, i get the numbers, it doesn't matter." [ laughter ] hi, jay! >> jimmy: yeah. >> so then conan, who i met when he came out of college, you know, i started doing his show. but there were times i was booked and they said you were dark. i go, what is he, depressed? [ laughter ] i didn't understand. now it's the greatest show in hollywood, i love this. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: dana, you know that -- >> this is just an awesome -- >> jimmy: it's not like a marriage, you're allowed to do the other shows. in any event, i'm thrilled that you're here. >> thank you. i just got a look at me. i go oh, this is me at the -- you know. i love it. i'm mature now. >> jimmy: yeah, but you look like exactly the same. except you have more hair on your face, really. >> i know. well, the women like this.
11:57 pm
i mean, my wife got tired of having sex with howdy doody. [ laughter ] i had a baby face for a long time. it didn't help in the bedroom. but they like the scruff, you're not a girl! [ laughter ] >> jimmy: your cohost, your pal david spade, was here a couple of months ago. >> yes. >> jimmy: we were talking about this podcast you do together. >> "fly on the wall." me and david spade. i've known him for years. >> jimmy: a great idea for a podcast. >> it's a seminal experience in people's lives. no matter where you went before or after, being on live television in new york on that show, you never forget it. it's so weird. >> jimmy: you have people who hosted the show, people who worked on the show. do you ever have people who were just in the audience on the show? >> what you mean -- oh, we would. i think we'll branch out. we would have fans on. >> jimmy: that's the extent of my "saturday night live" experience. >> you never hosted? >> jimmy: oh, no, no, no. no. >> oh, come on. >> jimmy: because jay leno wouldn't allow it. [ laughter ]
11:58 pm
>> jay did it once. i said, lorne, how about jimmy? "i don't know. does he do any characters?" [ laughter ] i think he would. i love working with spade. i've known him since he was 19. i raised him as one of my own. >> jimmy: he said you guys lived together for a while? ♪ beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep ♪ [ cheers and applause ] >> he is such a sound effect machine. >> jimmy: yeah. >> whoo. beyoo! we lived in beechwood canyon in a really dumpy place. my wife and i lived on top of the garage. there wasn't even a roof, we were just up there -- no, there was a hot plate. i got on "snl." freakily, we were living in a dump. my wife and i were saving money to buy a house. i got on "snl." kevin nealon, this is lorne michaels, "we could use one more cast member, maybe someone like chevy who's sort of tall." that's what he said. >> jimmy: really? >> i said, i know a really funny tall guy. then kevin came in the studio, he got the show.
11:59 pm
>> jimmy: wow. >> and spade moved into -- our little brother from another mother, moved into kevin nealon's room. then when kevin was so nice, he'd come back from "snl" and spade would still take his room, he'd sleep on the couch. >> jimmy: unbelievable. >> "sorry, buddy, got to snooze and a beyoo!" [ applause ] i'm just going to do spade all night. >> jimmy: does david like when you imitate him? >> david is very chill about anything. he's very gentle and very chill. >> jimmy: does anyone imitate you? >> no one can do me. i'm like an invisible person, i don't really have a face, and i don't really have a voice. i don't really exist as a human being. that's why the scruff and the glasses. i need infrastructure. [ laughter ] my face is -- i'm like the invisible man, my face is receding into my skull. i need scaffolding. but that way you can put stuff on me. like jon lovitz, the great jon lovitz, he'd be on "snl" -- >> jimmy: hold on. everyone needs to applaud or jon's going to be very upset.
12:00 am
[ cheers and applause ] >> hello! he'll call me tomorrow. "hear them? they applauded!" [ laughter ] but anyway, jon is a true character. they put prosthetic makeup on him on "saturday night live." he'd come up to me, "can you tell who it is?" "yes, jon, i can." but i'm a very -- i can just put something on me, put a nose, a face, give me an accent. >> jimmy: it is remarkable, it really is amazing the stuff that you do. >> well, thank you. >> jimmy: the presidents -- what was the first president you did? were you a kid when you started doing presidents? >> yeah, like as a very little kid, i remember doing a little bit of jfk. "we don't do it because it's easy, we did it because it's haaard!" [ laughter ] you know, that was an easy entry. i did lbj a little bit. >> jimmy: really? >> i was a little performer kid. >> jimmy: wow. >> also introverted. then i did reagan. everyone did reagan. "well, yes." what would reagan do with ukraine? what do you want to do, mr. president? "well, i say fire away." [ laughter ] "with everything we've got. and then call them and see if tey're still there." [ laughter ] [ applause ]
12:01 am
it's not the best reagan, it's a reagan. and then flukily, i got cast as the president. i did george bush sr., which took me a year. i couldn't do it at all initially. >> jimmy: really? >> because there was nothing there. it was just "hi, i'm a president, how are you?" so i had to invent a character, and extenuate it. i started just watching him. he would do this thing, "well, we're out there, kind of careful, doing that thing out there in that whole area." and that was al franken and i. we were like we got it, that's it! that thing, that area. four years later i'm just like, "got to do it." mugging it up. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: it's interesting. because i think for a lot of people and probably myself included, whoever is doing the president on "saturday night live," like that is the president. >> yes. >> jimmy: you think that's them. >> that's the bully pulpit for a comedian. >> jimmy: yeah. >> you have that spot, like james austin johnson does now. >> jimmy: he does trump on
12:02 am
"saturday night live." >> he does a brilliant trump. >> jimmy: he does. >> he was on our "fly on the wall" podcast. in austin. james austin johnson. [ applause ] what i did was -- because i'm kind of fascinated by -- i realize, because i wanted to -- i said that trump can really talk. i saw him earlier on your show. and he doesn't say anything. it's just, he has these weird phrases. so i had james do them. can i do a couple of them? >> jimmy: sure, yeah. >> it's trump with no real sentence structure. >> jimmy: uh-huh? >> "frankly, let me tell you, you're going to be seeing a lot of it, that i can tell you. i mean, when you look at it and you look, it didn't work out so great for so many of these people, and you're seeing it all over the place. many people are saying, we don't want -- we're not those people, we don't do that, okay? so you look at what they're doing, you look at all of it, and people are very disappointed like you wouldn't believe. [ laughter ] because it's a terrible deal, really a bad deal, and we're going to be doing something very soon and you're going to be happy, you're going to be seeing
12:03 am
a lot of it. you're going to be happy like you wouldn't believe." that's trump. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: dana carvey, unbelievable. we'll be right back with dana after this.

thing. when bush was riding high, his ratings were like 70%, we just played him as this happy guy who couldn't lose. "well, things are going up. before bush, berlin wall. after bush, no wall." [ laughter ] so it was kind of like, the joke was how great he was doing. then it got rougher later. >> jimmy: i want to ask about something that's not related to "saturday night live." >> anything. >> jimmy: a sitcom you did in 1982. >> oh no. >> jimmy: this is quite a lineup. it's called -- >> "one of the boys." nathan lane and mickey rooney, a famous human being. >> jimmy: and that's you. >> that's me.

12:10 am
he would. "they're not going to get me. if they come for me, i'll plug 'em." [ laughter ] he was out of his mind. you'd be coming down the hallway, he said this every day about his former glory. "i was the number one star in the world." then he would go, "you hear me? bang! [ puckering sound ] the world!" [ laughter and applause ] you can't write it. >> jimmy: what makes it even funnier, i think we all -- growing up, you think of mickey rooney as this old man. whatever. but i looked it up today. in this photograph mickey was only 62 years old. he'd already lost his marbles completely. >> well, the connection here, why we're bringing this up, is because i was just a fledgling stand-up, got a very small deal with nbc. they called me and said we want you to play mickey rooney's grandson. where does it tape? in new york, in rockefeller
12:11 am
center. so i ended up working in rockefeller center on the sixth floor. and on the eighth floor was "saturday night live." i would ask -- i would get up there on thursdays. i'd sit in the bleachers. i'd watch eddie murphy, i'd watch joe piscopo rehearse. i'd think, damn, i really, really want to get up two floors. and it took me six years. and then i ended up there. [ cheers and applause ] so it's surreal. isn't that weird? >> jimmy: did you go straight from the sixth floor to the eighth floor? did you make a stop on the seventh along the way? >> no, i went to the 17th, i think. then i went down to the eighth like you wouldn't believe it. it didn't work out. many people are saying, i can tell you that. i can promise you that. you're going to be happy, jimmy. [ laughter ] i think that life is like that. the longer you live, all these different cycles and circles. sort of ironic, weird, bizarre stuff happens. >> jimmy: it's crazy that it took anyone that long to figure out that you would be fantastic on "saturday night live." isn't it strange, if you think about it? i mean, objectively. >> well, you know, i was developing stand-up on the side. but you could see by that
