ama: thank you for watching. >> lou: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live" with guest host chelsea handler! tonight -- simu liu, atsuko okatsuka, and music from jelly roll. with cleto and the cletones. and now, chelsea handler! [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> chelsea: hi, everybody! hi, guillermo! hi! wow! thank you! thank you, thank you, thank you! [ cheers and applause ] thank you so much. thank you. welcome to "jimmy kimmel live."

i am your guest host, chelsea handler. [ cheers and applause ] hosting this show has taught me that a woman can do anything a man can do. when he's on vacation and doesn't feel like doing it. [ laughter ] we have a lot to get to. starting with the explosive hearing in washington. it turns out donald trump was even more of a [ bleep ] bag than we originally thought. [ laughter ] we heard some truly insane testimony from cassidy hutchinson, a top aide to trump's chief of staff, mark meadows. cassidy paint a very unflattering portrait of trump's behavior on january actionth, drug the little bitch-fit he threw when the secret service wouldn't let him go to the capitol during the riot. >> he said something to the effect of, "i'm the effing president, take me up to the capitol now." to which bobby responded, "sir, we have to go back to the west

wing." the president reached up towards the front of the vehicle to grab at the steering wheel. mr. engle grabbed his arm, said "sir, you need to take your hand off the steering wheel, we're going back to the west wing, we're not going to the capitol." >> chelsea: when grabbing the steering wheel didn't work, he grabbed the car by the [ bleep ]. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] fortunately, trump sat back down and patiently waited for his car to arrive at the white house. just kidding. of course that's not what he did. >> mr. trump then used his free hand to lunge towards bobby engle. when mr. ranaudo recounted the story to me, he motioned toward his clavicles. >> chelsea: that is no way to treat the secret service. that is how you treat a contestant in the dressing room of the miss universe pageant. [ laughter and applause ]

sadly, there is no footage of trump grabbing the wheel, but i imagine it would look something like this. [ laughter ] hutchinson also relayed details of what happened when trump's attorney general, bill barr, told him there was no evidence of election fraud. >> the valet had articulated that the president was extremely angry at the attorney general a's ap interview and had thrown his lunch against the wall. which was causing him to have to clean up. so i grabbed a towel and started wiping the ketchup up to help the valet out. >> chelsea: melania also has to wipe things off the wall after their annual mar-a-lago penetration. [ laughter and applause ]if you story sa bit off, trump

apparently did stuff like this all the time. >> are there other instances you recall where he exbread his anger? >> there were several times throughout my tenure with the chief of staff that i was aware of him either throwing dishes or flipping the tablecloth. >> chelsea: but those were just his play dates with rudy giuliani. [ laughter and applause ] speaking of my baby, rudy giuliani -- [ laughter ] he has been making the rounds on tv claiming he was "assault" at a shop rite over the weekend. but even the super right wingnuts like greg kelly aren't buying it. >> i got to be honest, it doesn't look that bad. but i understand that looks can be deceiving. >> you know, that -- that was -- that was the woman who was rubbing my back, not the guy who hit me. the video you're watching. so the woman, that woman, gave a statement to the police, the guy hit me so hard that she herself almost fell.

[ laughter ] >> chelsea: oh. [ applause ] something tells me this isn't the first time rudy has exaggerated the size of something. [ laughter ] like his tiny little micro -- [ bleep ] penis. [ cheers and applause ] republicans are getting very touchy about touching. as democracy hangs by a thread, this is what tucker carlson is worried about. >> but it's -- well, she tells us she loves kids. we kind of took her at face value until we saw this tape from last week. this tape shows her elbowing the child. the child of republican mara flores, who just won a congressional seat in south texas. so there is nancy pelosi elbowing a little girl who got in her camera shot. [ laughter ] >> chelsea: oh, nancy's an elected government official, she needs to act more dignified. like trying to strangle her own

security guards in a moving vehicle. [ laughter and applause ] but obviously that was clearly an accident. and that's coming from me, someone who's not a fan of children and has been elbowing them for years. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] in other depressing slash exciting news, we all remember jeffrey epstein's wing woman, ghislaine maxwell. guillermo, is it pronounced ghislane or jizz lane? >> guillermo: jizz jizz, we'll jizz for short. ghislaine was sentenced to 20 years for serving as epstein's personal groomer, and she has apparently found a new calling. she's teaching yoga to all the other inmates. [ laughter ] her specialty is child's pose. [ moans ] according to one inmate, maxwell introduced herself to the other folks in the jail unit, which took them by surprise, which is weird, because making

introductions is kinda her thing. [ laughter and applause ] also, i would like to clear up a rumor that was going around a while back, that i was on one of the flight logs to epstein island, i was not. i think i would remember grooming teens with jeff and jizz. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] so i am stating it here for the final time. i have never been to epstein island. but i did one time accidentally find myself at a dinner with jeffrey epstein, woody allen, and soon-yi. this is true. i went with katie couric, of all people. and i thought to myself, this is it. i have to confront woody allen. there is no way, as a woman, i can't say something to this man. and i suffered through the whole meal, biding my time, waiting until the very end, just as he was shoving a piece of blackberry cobbler in his mouth, i leaned over to woody and

soon-yi and said, "so how did you two meet?" [ moans ] [ cheers and applause ] then katie couric looked at me and said, "okay, time to go, chelsea." [ laughter ] in other chelsea news, last night, i mentioned that i had three abortions in high school, and do you know what men on the internet had to say about that? i don't, because i don't give a [ bleep ]. [ cheers and applause ] but my old high school does. i recently found out my high school in new jersey, livingston high school, is refusing to induct me into their alumni hall of fame. jason alexander and chris christie made it, but not me. apparently, the school is upset about how much i talk about my abortions. so i've decided to start a grassroots campaign. you should donate to planned

parenthood, and then march, and then vote. but after you're done with that, go online and tweet a message to the school district for my alma mater. [ laughter ] @livschools. let them know how you feel about this gross injustice. using the hashtag #hall4handler. [ cheers and applause ] have fun with it. make me proud. livingston high, the hall is in your court. [ laughter ] you probably saw this online, but after roe v. wade got overturned, some pro-lifers have been posting pictures of themselves holding signs like this. that say "please don't abort! we will adopt your baby." there is some other fine print, though. "offer not valid if baby is black, brown, gay, or already out of the womb." [ moans and laughter ] this is a very weird thing to do. first of all, i don't believe these people for a second. you know how when you run into someone that you only kinda know, and say something like, "oh, we should get drinks sometime!" but you don't really mean it and hope they never text you? that's what these signs are. [ laughter ]

someone will ask these people to adopt their baby and the couple will be like, "oh, sorry, this month is crazy, let's catch up after the holidays." [ laughter ] and secondly, "we will adopt your baby" is one of the creepiest sentences i've ever heard. it sounds like the title of a movie starring jeffrey epstein and jizz. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] also, we finally got some thoughts on abortion from my personal hero, mentor, and sensei. >> let's start with roe v. wade. i thought it was a horrible decision. i think women should have the right to decide what happens with their bodies. >> chelsea: is that what you think, o.j.? that women should have the right to decide where you murder them? [ moans and laughter ] while women's rights are getting rolled back across the country, some companies are cashing in. i was recently asked to be a spokeswoman for a new female-focused restaurant chain. which seemed like a pretty great opportunity at the time, but i probably should have read the script before i signed the contract.

>> it's that time of the month. time for a boozy brunch with your gal pals. so come on down to girl grill, the first restaurant for women only. >> excuse me, can we see the menu? >> we don't have menus. >> at girl grill, we make the decisions for you. >> cobb salad, chicken parm, salad with all the dressing on the side, and fish tacos for you, my lady. fish tacos are little tacos. >> are you menu-'splaining to me right now? >> try smiling, might looking at a little prettier. >> i'm smiling now! >> girl grill plays your favorite documentaries like "the bachelor." and it's always 5:00 here. >> unlike women, wine gets better with age. >> we add a tip because we know how hard math can be for you. >> all right, will that be cash or your husband's credit card? >> we don't have husbands.

>> shocker. >> i want to pay personally pbecause i have a tip for you. >> open [ bleep ]! >> you kick like a girl! >> girl grill, with over 6,000 locations in texas, florida, and wherever your rights are being compromised. [ cheers and applause ] >> chelsea: we have some great guests tonight. including a very funny woman you just saw in that bit. atsuko okatsuka is here. [ cheers and applause ] we've got music from jelly roll. and we'll be right back with simu liu.

[ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> chelsea: welcome back to "jimmy kimmel live!" i'm chelsea handler. tonight, my very funny friend atsuko okatsuka is with us. [ cheers and applause ]

then later, all the way from nashville, his album is called "ballads of the broken." music from jelly roll on the mercedes eq stage. [ cheers and applause ] i'll be back tomorrow with my guests paris hilton and matteo lane, with music from ess-spa. and if you want to come see me live, my "vaccinated and horny tour" is running through the rest of the year. [ laughter ] dates and tickets are at chelseahandler.com. [ cheers and applause ] our first guest comes to us from china, canada, and the marvel cinematic universe, which is a lot of passports. you know him from his mcu epic "shang-chi and the legend of the ten rings." now you can learn his real-life origin story in his new memoir, "we were dreamers," it's available now. please welcome simu liu. [ cheers and applause ] ♪

>> chelsea: simu, welcome. >> it's so good to be here. it's so good to see you, oh my god. >> chelsea: we met for the first time at the people's choice awards. >> people's choice awards, yeah. >> chelsea: you won an award. >> i did. [ cheers and applause ] i guess the world thinks i'm an action star or something. >> chelsea: yeah, i think the world thinks you're an action star because you think you're an action star. >> could be. >> chelsea: you were also standing next to the rock, who i don't think i've ever seen in person. his head, he's so muscular, it's like there's muscle in the back of his head. >> there is somehow muscles in the back of -- yeah, i've never felt so small in my life. i look like a piece of cheese string next to him. [ laughter ] >> chelsea: i didn't see you when you were standing behind him what is i'm saying. >> fair enough, fair enough. >> chelsea: it was a voice, "simu, are you there, are you there?"

congratulations on your "new york times" best-selling book. >> thank you. [ cheers and applause ] you know this as a fellow "new york times" bestseller. the title follows you for your entire life. you can make the list one time for one single week, and forever you'll be "new york times" best-selling author, chelsea handler. and i'm "new york times" best-selling author, simu liu. [ cheers and applause ] >> chelsea: i was excited the first five or six times i was on the "new york times" as well. [ laughter ] it's a huge feat, congratulations. >> thank you, thank you. >> chelsea: i love this book. i sat in the garden and read it the other day. i sound like oprah. i don't have a real garden, i just said that. [ laughter ] i just love my page. first of all, one of my favorite things is you waited till i think page 14 to announce you were voted one of toronto's hottest bachelors? >> canada's hottest bachelors, 2018, just off the top of my head. [ cheers and applause ]

>> chelsea: make you feel? like a real man, huh? [ laughter ] >> pretty good, yeah. the context, the way i introduce it in the book, i admit to the reader, basically to the world, i used to poop my pants quite frequently when i was a kid. [ laughter ] to kind of help dull the blow of that, i said, could now be a good time to introduce you to the fact that i was one of canada's hottest bachelors? [ laughter and applause ] look where he's come clam. >> chelsea: what i love about this book is it feels you kind of wrote it with your parents. what was the process of that? there's so much history about your punishments. >> right, right. >> chelsea: coming from china, them coming over to canada without you, leaving you with grandparents until you were 4 years old? >> 4 1/2, yeah. it was always the story that i wanted to tell. i know there's a lot of cynicism, whatever. a celebrity, or -- i made one movie and i'm already coming out with a memoir. people are like, which? the story i wanted to tell was our family journey. it starts with my parents growing up in china in the '60s and '70s.

i really wanted to tell the story of how they came to view america as like their next goal, their dream. and for my dad, like he really had such limited exposure. his only exposure to america was "star wars"," sound of music," and kentucky fried chicken. [ laughter ] which was the one restaurant that was -- one of the first american fast food chains to ever expand to china. based on those three things he was like, dammit. [ laughter ] i want to go. he set his sights on america. and that's what happened. >> chelsea: he's like, i got to get that chicken, yeah. i got to get that chicken. one of the first dates was kfc, one of their first dates in canada, right? >> yeah, yeah. i obviously was -- a long research process. i interviewed my parents a lot. i learned a lot of things about them, most of which was inspiring. one story of the night i was conceived. not so much so. [ laughter ] kfc ended up playing a role in that. my dad took her on a date, kfc

at the time -- it's not like it is now. it's very, very expense 97 china, lines out the door. >> chelsea: obviously an aphrodisiac also. [ laughter ] >> something in those 11 herbs and spices that set them off. nine months later, boom, here we go. [ cheers and applause ] you could almost say that i owe my entire existence to kentucky fried chicken. [ laughter ] >> chelsea: you're probably not the only person that can say that, quite truthfully. we have a picture of you in your little outfit where you looked really adorable. >> yes. >> chelsea: you really wore the [ bleep ] out of this outfit. >> thank you. [ audience: aww ] >> chelsea: that's cute. >> i know harry styles, you know, was on the cover of -- i think "vanity fair" with the dress. i just wanted you to know that i was there first. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> chelsea: okay, i got it. so tell me about the process with your parents. because there's some, you know, pretty rough stuff in this book. >> yeah. >> chelsea: you were separated from them as a little boy, which is heartbreaking. and then you went to go meet

them when they were kind of -- they came to get you, perfect strangers almost, right? >> yeah, yeah, almost like getting adopted by my own biological parents in some weird way. >> chelsea: right. >> yeah, it was -- you know, it started out as a happy ending for our family because we're finally reunited. then of course, the realities of, you know, the actual arrangement really set in. which is that you had these people that really had no idea how to be parents. all of a sudden they're responsible for a 4 1/2 year old. and we're dealing with a language culture, generational barrier. you know, it was hard. it was hard on a lot of children of immigrant families. you butt heads with your parents, trying to navigate these different cultures. you live in completely separate world at home than you are in the world. it was tough. we got into a lot of arguments, things got physical. one of the reasons why we really wanted to -- i wasn'ted to tell that story, and my parents agreed ultimately, was not out of some desire to be vindictive

or air our dirty laundry, but really a sense of, there are immigrant children going through this right now. i want them to feel they weren't alone, the way i felt really isolated. the ability to connect with my - story, hopefully will help them. [ cheers and applause ] >> chelsea: yeah. at any point were your parents like, you can absolutely not put that in the book? or were they just okay with everything? >> yeah, they were kind of reluctant. there's a couple of anecdotes specifically with like them beating the crap out of me, they're like, "do you really have to?" i was like, you know what, but yeah, you did those things, it's not like they didn't happen. my parents like to say, "we were fantastic parents 99% of the time but you choose to focus on the 1%." and i'm always like, mom, murderers don't murder people every second of the day. [ laughter ] they're good people 99% of the time. not to call you a murderer, but it's like -- you know.

the things that you do in those moments that define you. [ laughter ] so, i mean, the logic -- yeah. i'm not sure if they got the analogy totally. it's in there somewhere. >> chelsea: i like the story when your mom puts you outside, looks you out for doing something, for 15 or 20 minutes. you're a little boy, what is happening? am i ever going to be allowed back in? you saw another neighbor, also chinese, walking up the stairs, "oh, are you okay?" you're like, "mom locked me out." she's like, "oh, yeah, i do that all the time." [ laughter ] >> i really feel our parents had the playbook, like they would trade secrets how to punish their kids. that really got me. >> chelsea: yeah, yeah. you picked up a lot of what not to do when you have your own children. >> there you go. >> chelsea: when we have our own children, i'm sorry.

[ cheers ] i need to be very clear about some things, it was a boy band. >> chelsea: okay. >> we were 12 years old, all our last names began with "l," that's where we got our name

from. we never amounted to anything, we her did anything. the only thing we ever did was we made the school album. which is like -- it's a whole -- it's called the it witwig tape, student-made, student-produced album. there's no production. we got our friend gjoann, she wrote the song, the lyrics -- a lot of it is joann. [ laughter ] we sang along, off-key, and that was our one single. >> chelsea: can you give us something, a little ditty from the song? >> a little ditty? >> chelsea: yeah, yeah. [ cheers nd applause ] >> it was so emo, 12-year-old kid, you know. it was something like -- it was like -- ♪ passing by you in the rain ♪ >> chelsea: oh.

it didn't sound like that, i'll tell you that much. [ laughter ] >> chelsea: talk about an aphrodisiac, yeah, there you go. >> very sexist lyrics. "can't you feel this way?" i feel that's such a male-dominant -- why can't you just feel that way about us, why can't you just love us? >> chelsea: yeah. >> i would not write that song in 2022 for sure. [ laughter ] >> chelsea: i have a question. so when you first came, did you meet spider-man on your very first trip when you came to hollywood? >> yes, yeah. very first trip to hollywood, i had no money, i was meeting a manager that i had never met. we were communicating via email. he was like, yeah, i guess i'll sign you. and then so i book myself -- i didn't have any money to get a hotel. i booked myself a hostel off hollywood boulevard. and -- because that was the only real neighborhood in l.a. that i new. yeah, i want to be in hollywood. i show up to hollywood boulevard and i'm like -- i'm at chinese

theater, having a good time. spider-man shows up. you want a picture? and i was like, oh, cool, the people in l.a. are so nice. he takes my phone, snapped some pictures of me, snapped pictures of us in a selfie, then he's like, "that will be $20 for spider-man." i literally just got there, had so little spending money. i'm staying in a hostel, a bed with nine other dudes. >> chelsea: fun. [ laughter ] >> some would say, some would say. but yeah, i had -- ended up paying the guy. i talked him down to 10 bucks. [ laughter ] i'm like, "dude, what are you doing? i'm so poor, you've no idea." >> chelsea: you're paying him to take a picture of you on your phone and him. >> yeah. >> chelsea: i wonder if he's seen your movie, "i know that guy, took a picture with him then charged him for it." [ laughter and applause ] how did you -- you got your acting roles by putting ads on craigslist? >> craigslist played a pretty intergral role in my early development. i'm never one of those guys that

likes to wait by the phone. an actor starting out, you have an agent, the idea is that you have to wait for your agent to give you an audition. i didn't have that kind of patience. so craigslist gave me my first opportunity to be on set ever. because i answered a random crisis ad and ended up on the set of "pacific rim" as this minimum wage extra. so that kind of validated the website for me. yeah craigslist! [ laughter ] craigslist is where it's at. i don't care about the stupid agent business, i want to go on craigslist. [ laughter ] i would go on craigslist every day. i got some really incredible gigs. i was in a avicci music video, a stunt double, a fall out boys music video. times not so great, i almost got scammed this one time. i answered this craigs list ad for an audition, very vague as to what it's for. i show up. i do this audition.

this guy is blown away. even i was like, i'm not that good of an actor. he was like, "this is amazing, i'm going to call people, you come back tomorrow." the next day, "i got a job offer for you." he's saying it pays $25,000, you shoot in new york. oh, this sounds way good to be true, but continue. love love he was like, "the only thing, you have to be a member of the screen actors guild, are you a member?" i was like, "no we live in toronto, i'm not a member of the american screen actors guild." "don't worry, let me take some calls." he gets on the phone, he's having what i know now is a fake conversation. "guess what, he's not in the screen actors guild. don't worry, how much is the joining fee? $5,000? i'll let him know." he hangs up. he's like, "all right, here's what you do. write a check to the screen actors guild, you hand to it me, we'll get you the role." and i was like, "thank you very much, no." [ laughter ] and i walked away. even at that point i was like so -- i was gaslighting myself.

i wanted it to be true so badly. six months later i was on craigslist again. [ laughter ] i hadn't learned my lesson. at least a police posting there and a picture of the guy. they had caught him. [ laughter ] they were like, "these are all the aliases that he uses." [ cheers and applause ] the bottom line, he's off the streets, he's not scamming any aspiring actors anymore. >> chelsea: yeah, and you're safe now. >> and i am safe. >> chelsea: yes, you are. thank you so much, simu.
