i'm dion limb right now. >> announcer: from hollywood it's "jimmy kimmel live" with guest host sean hayes! tonight -- jenny slate cooper raiff and music from weezer with cleto and the cletones and now, sean hayes! [ cheers and applause ] ♪

>> welcome to jimmy kimmel live! i'm your guest host for the week, sean hayes. [ cheers and applause ] thank you very much. thank you. jimmy is busy training for the sochi olympics, i didn't have the heart to tell him they were in 2014. at this point, jimmy is like the mcrib. you can't get him year round, and he's always covered in barbeque sauce. [ laughter ] this is my third year guest hosting the show. [ cheers and applause ] and people ask me why i keep doing this every summer. i don't do it for the money, i don't do it for the accolades -- i do it for the applause. [ cheers and applause ] oh my gosh, thank you!

that was so unprovoked! it's great to be back on abc, you know, i spent more than a decade at nbc- on a little show, you probably never saw it -- "will and grace?" [ cheers and applause ] 75 years ago. [ laughter ] "will and grace" was ahead of its time we were the first sitcom to point out that rich white ladies named karen were problematic. [ laughter ] i hope everyone had a good weekend. yesterday, of course, was father's day. yes, yes, fantastic. [ applause ] here's a tip i picked up over the years. you can save a lot on father's day cards if your dad abandoned you when you were a child. [ laughter ] just me? is that too dark? wait. i knew something was up when he called a family meeting, sat us all down and he said, "i'm leaving forever and i'm never coming back." i was very perceptive. but i like father's day. it's fun to see people posting old pictures of their dads, who all looked like hot serial

killers from the '70s. [ laughter ] right, you know what i'm saying? guillermo, how was your father's day? >> great, but it was scary. >> is that the end of the sentence or you want to talk more about that? >> my father and myself, we drank three bottles of tequila. and we were in the pool. it was crazy to get him out of the pool. he was too drunk. [ laughter ] he's a big guy. >> we're talking about father's day, not birthdays or christmas. sounds all the same. father's day, great. >> father's day. >> did you get anything good, by the way? >> my son gave me a "star wars" t-shirt. [ applause ] >> that's nice. what does it say? dad, you are as strong as a wooki, dedicated as -- what does it say? "dad you are strong as a

wookiee, cool as han solo, dedicated as r2-d2, wise as yoda, and you are the best father in the galaxy." personally i think god is the best father in the galaxy, but whatever man, you do you. >> guillermo, did you see what happened to president biden this weekend? >> no, what happened? >> that's good, he's an not actor, too. [ laughter ] i understand, i understand, calm down. >> i was too drunk. [ laughter ] >> you were doing laps in the pool, yeah. >> gram-potus had a little accident. he was on a bike ride near his house in delaware on saturday when this happened. i think we just found the new spokesperson for life alert. [ laughter ] you just know they're loving this over at fox news. tucker carlson has been going around the office dry humping the furniture. [ laughter ] thankfully, biden is fine, so it's okay to laugh about it.

and it's also okay to add in some funny sound effects. [ laughter ] [ applause ] [ laughter ] >> he's bleeding internally, but he did win the 10-thousand dollar prize! after the incident, biden got an outpouring of support including this sentiment from his predecessor. >> and i hope he has recovered because as you know, he fell off his bicycle today. no, i'm serious. i hope he's okay. fell off a bicycle. [ laughter ] i make this pledge to you today. i will never, ever ride a bicycle. [ laughter ] >> and clearly he hasn't.

he hasn't. [ applause ] can you imagine donald trump in bike shorts? [ laughter ] i just didand now i'm screaming on the inside. have any of you been watching the stanley cup finals? [ applause ] game 3 was on abc earlier tonight and if you know me, you know i can't get enough of hockey. you get all dressed up and punch people in the face it's like the oscars on ice! [ laughter ] out of all the sports hockey has the worst trophy. if you win- you get -- this. an empty cup. what kind of prize is that? the least they could do is fill that bitch with white claw. but you gotta love hockey -- a bunch of white people with no teeth beating the hell out of each other. it's basically florida -- the sport. [ laughter ] [ applause ] yeah. here's something they're not worried about in florida -- monkeypox. it's been spreading so fast the

cdc has issued "sex guidance" for americans who have monkeypox. the guidance is don't have sex with people who have monkeypox. [ laughter ] this is the actual guidance from the cdc. we did not make this up. they say you should -- "consider having sex with your clothes on --" like at theater camp. and -- laugh "masturbating from six feet away -- without touching any rash or sores." so basically, same rules as the new york subway. [ laughter ] and the cdc put out some additional safety tips this afternoon. instead of having sex, hide outside a trusted neighbor's window and watch them hump. wrap your penis in caution tape so your genital area looks like a crime scene. think about how earth will soon be an uninhabitable hellscape until the idea of sex just seems so pointless in the larger scheme of things. [ laughter ] [ applause ] and --

maybe try reading the bible, you heathen. [ applause ] how many of you heathens are visiting from out of town? i'm glad you made it because thousands of flights were canceled over the weekend, even more were delayed, things got so bad people even chose to fly spirit. [ laughter ] southwest airlines has already cut 20,000 summer flights due to staff shortages. they even have a new slogan -- "wanna get away? tough [bleep]." [ laughter ] flying isn't all bad though, especially if you're gay. i've noticed that whenever i fly if the lead flight attendant is gay- i get loads of perks. free drinks, extra snacks, direct eye contact. i've benefited from this kind of treatment for years- and now as a public service, i'm passing these benefits on to the rest of the gay community. hi there.

i'm seven-time academy award winner and your mom's favor gay, sean hayes. i have two questions for you. do you travel often and are you gay? good, and good. don't book another flight without my new app, fruit fly. fruit fly connects you with flights run by gay flight attendants who want to give you tons of free [ bleep ] because you're gay and you're there. here's how it works. log into the app and pick your destination. flights with giving gays are marked with fruit baskets. oh, hi there, jeffrey. >> oh, hey, sean, looking toned. are you going to fire island this summer? >> i couldn't get a dog silter. >> that's too bad. let me get you two small bottles of vodka from first class. >> it's gays help gays. when straight people try to use fruit fly, the app detects their sexuality and goes into rejection mode. buzz off, breeder.

with fruit fly, it really does get better. >> as flawless as judy dent on a scale. >> okay, is that a tanning bed? [ laughter ] >> and when you wake up, your laundry will be steamed and folded, too. so don't fly the gray heterosexual skies again. when you're way up in the air, be gay up in the air. oh, my god, is that meryl streep? girl, get down from there. fruit fly. join the mile hey club. special treatment only guaranteed if you're sean hayes. if you're some random gay, good luck [ applause ] >> we have a good show for you tonight -- from the new film, "cha cha real smooth" cooper rife is here -- we've got music from weezer -- and we'll be right back with jenny slate.

[ laughter ] >> they put the desk over the toilet? >> yeah. so i was like, oh, my gosh, this is such a great podcast, this is so popular, i feel so honored. i was sitting there right in front of me is an open toilet, yeah. >> under the desk. so you have to go -- i have to go to the bathroom like that? is that what it is? >> i don't think -- well, they have another bathroom that's functional. that bathroom is retired. [ laughter ] >> i'll say. >> you know, that's a sign of success when you're doing a podcast in a supply closet in front of a retired toilet. >> i'm obsessed with this general store. i don't want to go. wait, so, how involved are you? you don't work there, do you? like -- >> no, i mean, i don't work in the general store. but -- >> because you guys own it. i figure you have to, you know, do like old school like, you know. >> like one of those, yeah.

[ laughter ] i don't use it because i feel like it's like i should pay full price. >> because you own it. that's a weird thing to like buy something from a place you own because it goes right back. >> it's so -- i actually feel really bad about that. i'll be, hun, when you're at the store -- my husband is paying his money to his own store. >> just take it, put it in a bag and go. >> we're honest people. >> the cops show up. you're stealing. >> yeah. >> are you recognized there when you go there? >> here's the thing, like, not fully.

[ laughter ] just thinking about my baby being lost, throw up all over my white feathers. big time. so, he went to get the rental car and i had it reserved with a car seat because the baby, you know, you can't just drop them to the hood. >> well, you could. >> i guess you can, but -- >> wait. so you rented it with the car seat as part of the deal. >> for sure, you know. so my husband gets there and the person at the budget rental car -- sorry. i'm angry at them now.

>> it's in the name. >> right, it is budget. i just didn't think it would be a full-blown experience like that. but the person was like, we don't have any car seats. my husband was like, okay. they said there would be one. she was like, well, they're not. okay. she's like, do you still want the car? >> holding the baby? >> he was like, the reason why i have the car seat is just because like a baby will go in it. it's not like for me, it's not my preference. that's not how i ride around. like rear facing. >> you don't sit in a booster either? >> weirdly he and i don't do that kind of stuff. and it just -- it was like this tragedy unfolding. and i was sitting on the tarmac and i had been like, i'm going to be good on this flight. i'm going to snooze, i'm going to take a sleep, a nice long sleep, wake up and be refreshed. i'm getting these texts. they don't have a car seat. i need you to call an uber from your phone to get a car seat from your friend to bring the

it was recorded, like, improvised off a big long document, like that said what we thought would happen. we improvised. oh, actually probably the story should change. dean and our cowriter nick pailey would record those and improvise more, go through it again. it was a year's long process locking the audio play. then they did the live action. then they did the motion. >> it's amazing cast. isabel a rosalini which makes you want to have pasta. [ laughter ] how did you -- why her, even though she's amazing? what came to mind to think of her to cast as your grandma, right? >> yeah, anna conni. we wanted someone with a distinctive voice. one of my grand mothers had an accent and we thought it would be really special. and anyway, i think that her agents told her about the project. she didn't know what marcell the shell was, but i think her children said, like, oh, this is

cool. but like, she just showed up at our rental in silver lake where we were recording part of it. she was isabel a rosalini. can you imagine, you open your door and the most glamorous chic person in the world? she showed up and jumped right in. it was with hard to keep our cool. >> it was amazing, you're amazing in it. and "60 minutes," what is after her name? >> leslie stahl. >> leslie stahl. she's in the movie talking to marcell the shell. how did you make that happen? they're very serious over there. >> they're so serious. we had to improvise that it's going to be "60 minutes." we're never going to get this. we're never going to clear this. and our producer liz knew one of their producers. she made is so leslie and an entire "60 minutes" crew showed up. >> that's incredible. >> leslie interviewed me.

is there such a thing? >> yes. >> people are party starters? they get up and dance for kids so they're not embarrassed? >> it's this shameless adult do the cha-cha slide on the dance floor.
