we appreciate your time. good night. >> lou: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live" with guest host nicole byer! tonight -- aubrey plaza, sasheer zamata, and music from father john misty. with cleto and the cletones. and now, nicole byer. [ cheers and applause ] ♪ "jimmy kimmel live!"o - i'm your guest host, nicole byer. [ cheers and applause ] i'm an actress and stand-up comedian.

i host four podcasts, as well as "wipeout" on tbs and "nailed it!" on netflix, grand crew on nbc and yet somehow jimmy is the one who needs a vacation. [ laughter ] i'm tired! and even though i'm in every show on television, i didn't get nominated for one emmy this year. [ audience: aww ] and that's because i actually got nominated for three emmys. [ cheers and applause ] three nominations sounds like a lot until you remember that i do something award-worthy every single day of my [ bleep ] life. [ laughter ] and i know everyone always says that awards, they don't matter. but [ bleep ] that, i love awards. oh, yeah, gimme those gold-winged bitches! [ laughers and applause ] i want to put those up on my mantle, then when people come over, pretend i don't even know they're there. "oh, that? yeah, that's just my emmy. ha ha ha! i won it because i'm the best at television." [ cheers and applause ]

i'm so excited to be here. i'm feeling good. my covid test was negative. [ cheers ] thank you. my polio test was inconclusive, so let's party! [ laughter and applause ] at least one case of polio has been reported in new york city and health experts believe it could end up here in l.a. very soon. so that's fun, right? how is polio making a comeback? polio feels like a disease you should only be able to catch in a black and white movie. didn't w get rid of polio in like the '50s? why can't we bring back the fun stuff from the '50s? like potato sack races. smoking on airplanes. [ laughter ] and why are only bad things contagious? how come you can't ever catch anything good, like an orgasm. [ laughter and applause ] or good credit. or a rich husband with a big [ bleep ] and a terminal illness. [ cheers and applause ]

i'd like to take a moment now to highlight what i believe to be the cattiest moment in the history of broadcast television. it comes to us from a local news station in duluth, minnesota, nope, yep, minnesota, i got that right. i thought it was missouri for a hot second, she [ bleep ]ed up. [ laughter ] anyway. seems like [ bleep ] not going well for them either! between the news anchors dan and ken. >> snoop loops doesn't have a release date yet but it will be available on snooploopz.com.pi' through a drug test before i gave them to my children. >> when it comes out with a brownie line, look out. >> ha ha, good one, ken, that was fun, good for you. [ laughter ] >> nicole: yep. good for you, ken. now get the [ bleep ] out of here! [ laughter ] you know how everyone's been talking about "the great resignation" where people are leaving their jobs after the

pandemic? well, if you hate your job and fear confrontation, there's a p quitting." this is when people emotionally and mentallycheck out at work and do as little as possible without getting fired. we already have a term for that, it's called your 30s. [ laughter ] and me, i'm not a quiet quitter. i do something i like to call "loud leaving." that's when you say "i'm leaving!" in the most dramatic way possible so that they'll chase after you, no, nicole, don't go! you're the best guest host we've ever had at "jimmy kimmel! and the most beautiful! and the most talented! i'm so sorry i [ bleep ] up your coffee order this morning! and congratulations on your multiple well-deserved emmy nominations! [ cheers and applause ] speaking of new beginnings, in wisconsin, there's a special new school with a unique and colorful history. >> this former strip club is now the place that the ozaki christian school calls home.

in addition to the gentleman's club, the school also got a shopping center. >> because it had been a strip mall in addition to being a strip club, much of it had never even been built out. it was fairly easy for us to kind of turn that into classrooms. we took the drywall off the windows because it was just a darker environment. in many different ways. and we've let the light in, and we think of it as the light of jesus. [ laughter ] >> nicole: you know what they say, one pole makes a stripper, two poles make a cross. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] apparently, the renovation cost $1.6 million, and they paid for the whole thing in singles. [ laughter ] they actually didn't have to change too much. the stripper poles are now tetherball poles, the champagne room is now the juice box room, and the lunch lady can touch you, but you can't touch her. you cannot touch her, okay?

[ laughter and applause ] this story is near and dear to me because i love pole dancing. i've been taking classes for a few years now, and i thought it'd be fun to bring along my new friend guillermo to see just how low he could go. >> guillermo: hi, how are you? >> nicole: guillermo! are you ready to get sexy? >> guillermo: i was born ready. >> nicole: you were born ready? >> guillermo: yes. >> nicole: all right, let's shake our asses! >> guillermo: this is the place you mike miracles? >> lots of miracles. >> guillermo: i want to be sexy. >> you're already sexy. >> guillermo: i like you, you're nice. nice and wide, all the way down, hands on the floor. how does that feel to you guys? >> guillermo: it feels painful. >> nicole: painful? >> open up to the front -- >> guillermo: [ bleep ]. >> to a side lunge. >> guillermo: i think my -- >> nicole: your huevos? >> guillermo: my balls.

>> that's it. up. up. >> i feel very tired. but you know what would make me feel very loose? >> what? >> guillermo: tequila. yeah. >> well, being sexy is work. hard work. >> we've got to work on our strength a little bit. we've got to do some pushups. >> [ bleep ]. >> can we do a set of eight? i'll do them with you. >> nicole: guillermo, i'm with you on this one. >> ready? nice, strong plank. pull in those abs. eight, seven -- lower your elbows and hips -- six, five -- bend them more, more. four, three, two, one, all right. >> nicole: okay, that was the hardest thing i've ever had to do in my whole life. >> did you do all eight? >> guillermo: yeah. brutal. >> so we are going to get started with some nice, basic spins. before we do that, i wanted to check out your walk. oh, see? see? beautiful.

gorgeous. >> guillermo: oh my god. >> see how she swings her hips and keeps her quhin lifted? >> guillermo: uh-huh. >> each foot, move your hips. what are you looking at? who are you look at? who are you dancing for? >> guillermo: i'm dancing for beyonce. >> nicole: beyonce? >> keep your eyes forward on beyonce. that's it, that's it. wow, what a difference. all right, so nicole made a special request to do a fireman spin. >> guillermo: a what? >> fireman spin. off leg comes here, then you can land. oh! [ cheers ] >> guillermo: wow, girl! you got it going on. >> nicole: gimme some. >> guillermo: you have a phone? >> a phone? why do i need a phone? >> guillermo: to call 911, call an ambulance. make sure you have a phone ready. >> nicole: i have a phone ready. >> guillermo: all right, ready? >> ready. >> nicole: yes! >> land out, yes. >> guillermo: this is supposed to be fun but it's painful.

>> nicole: if you were a stripper what would your stripper name be? >> in spanish, la reina. you know what it means? >> nicole: no. >> guillermo: "the queen." >> nicole: oh, yes, la reina. >> you know what, if that ever happens, you can make something out of it. we learned some floor work. yes, okay. >> nicole: that's la reina. >> i'm going to do a fan kick. fan kick. >> guillermo: holy [ bleep ]. >> squeeze your elbow forward. yeah a little more forward. >> guillermo: hm? >> the top in front of your face. good. >> guillermo: jimmy kimmel doesn't pay me enough for this [ bleep ]. >> go across. >> guillermo: oh [ bleep ]. ready? >> nicole: yes! >> yes. can you do the split part? >> guillermo: no, i don't --

>> land and do a split. >> guillermo: after i'm here i go like -- >> uh-huh, then all the way down. keep going. >> nicole: yes! >> yes. >> nicole: that was pretty sexy. >> i'm not mad at it. >> guillermo: all right, let's go get some upfits. >> let's get some outfits. >> guillermo: all right, let's go get some outfits! >> nicole: la riina! yes! ♪ >> that works. >> nicole: yes, la reina. >> i like that finish, uh-huh, yes! >> nicole: i want la reina to come when i host, dance while i'm there. >> guillermo: will you have tequila for me? >> nicole: i'll have so much tequila for you. >> guillermo: and a better outfit than this. i want to be a sexy security guard. >> nicole: your wish is my command. ♪ if you want it let's do it ♪ ♪ ride it my pony ♪ [ cheers and applause ] >> nicole: now it's time to put

large out-of-state corporations have set their sights on california. they've written prop 27, to allow online sports betting. they tell us it will fund programs for the homeless. but read prop 27's fine print. 90% of profits go to out-of-state corporations, leaving almost nothing for the homeless. no real jobs are created here. but the promise between our state and our sovereign tribes would be broken forever. these out-of-state corporations don't care about california. but we do. stand with us.

[ laughter ] yeah, i took her to vegas to see the "magic mike" show for her 21st birthday. and she was dragged up on stage. and she had a knack for it. >> nicole: oh, i love that. >> you encourage good hobbies for little sisters. [ laughter ] >> nicole: that's perfect. i went and saw that show, they did not pull me on stage, which i'm still mad about. so you got her a pole. did she put it in her living room? where should it? >> she actually -- it was during the lockdown. she installed it in my dad's

basement. [ laughter ] >> nicole: oh. >> yeah. >> nicole: he was just a proud papa going downstairs being like, "my daughter."

[ cheers and applause ] >> nicole: congratulations. >> thanks. >> nicole: so where did you shoot it? >> we shot it in italy. >> nicole: oh, ciao bella. >> si. and we were in -- yeah, in sicily. i was in italy for five months. >> nicole: oh my god. >> before that i shot a movie called "spin me round" which i'm talking about here for three months. so i've been in italy a lot.

>> nicole: oh my god. >> like over half a year. >> nicole: that's such a long time. what do you do to make yourself feel at home? >> i -- yeah, it's really weird living out of a hotel. i got really into, like, going into town and, like, the old little italian village, buying weird grandma lamps. [ laughter ] putting them in my room. but we were staying in, like, a five-star hotel and the staff would be like, "you know, we can give you a lamp if you ask." [ laughter ] "we can give you anything." and i was like, i'll just buy my own lamps, thank you very much. [ laughter ] and i would just -- yeah. i just -- would do lighting stuff. i don't like the overhead lighting. i just try to make it, like, you know -- like a house, whatever. >> nicole: did anyone, like, look at you weird? double fisting lamps? >> actually, you know, the carabinari, which is what they call the cops, they would fool me around. because i looked insane. we were shooting in the offseason. i would walk around wearing sweat pants and you don't do

that in italy, normally. i think they thought i was a crazy person. [ laughter ] i was flagged pretty much right away. >> nicole: that's so funny to be followed by the police for, like, carrying lamps around. >> i was carrying a lot more than that. we don't have to get into that. >> nicole: so -- okay. me personally, i steal toilet paper from hotels. >> me too. >> nicole: do you? i haven't paid for toilet paper in about seven years. [ laughter ] >> i steal it from hotels, from my trailers. >> nicole: oh! >> yeah, you see the "parks and rec," i'd steal all the toilet paper every day, take to it my apartment. in the hotel in italy, would go to the gym and i would take as million bottles of water as i could and fill my hoodies with them so i wouldn't have to pay for water, because i couldn't drink the tap over there. it was weird being a thief in a luxury hotel. [ laughter ] about the i just had to do what i had to do. >> nicole: uh-huh. i would love to just hear the conversation of the front desk, "this nice lady keeping bringing

in lamps and she's/ing around." >> they were following me on their cc camera footage. i did a prank on one of the castmates once when he didn't know. i went into his room, i left this kind of witchy symbol made out of sticks on the floor. [ laughter ] yeah. i know, we weren't supposed to talk about this. sorry. >> nicole: no, i want to -- >> yeah, he was really suspicious. he didn't know who did it. he went and asked the hotel to look up security footage, and they identified me on the cameras. [ laughter ] yeah, so i was flagged in the hotel and in the town. [ laughter ] >> nicole: i love this. >> yeah, i know. it's -- i'm not allowed to go back to sicily. yeah. i'm serious. >> nicole: i would invite you back, you seem like a party, that's fun. >> i am. me and my dad and a pole. [ laughter ] >> nicole: a pole, some witchy pranks. >> puerto ricos, caramina, whatever. >> nicole: that's fun. did italians recognize you for your acting, not thievery? >> yes, they recognized me from my acting in a little film called "dirty grandpa."

[ applause ] >> nicole: oh, yes. >> yeah, which is really big in italy because it starsde niro. they love him over there. in fact, it's his birthday. happy birthday, bob. [ cheers and applause ] >> nicole: oh, that's sweet. >> call me. yeah, so the italians would, like -- that was the only thing i was really recognized for. they -- in italy they call it -- [ speaking italian ] that's how you say "dirty grandpa." they'd shout "dirty grandpa" at me. > nicole: that's so funny, i love it. if you don't know the context, to shout "dirty grandpa" at a nice youthful lady, it's very funny. >> they shoved pictures of me in lingerie with de niro, made me sign them. >> nicole: printed up pictures of you? >> yeah, yeah. >> nicole: how fun.

italy sounds like a blast, i want to go there with you. >> any time, let's do it. >> nicole: any time? >> any time, i'm crazy, i'll do it. [ laughter ] >> nicole: what is it like working with italian crews versus american crews? >> italian crews are funny. they're way more -- in my opinion, they're way more aggressive. like, american sets i feel like are a little bit more polite. everyone follows prote kols. italians, like they're kind of like, they just do what they do to get their job done. and they're a little, like, you know -- like, the vibe with the italian wardrobe ladies was a little bit, i was a dirty, bad child and they were, like, the nuns, teachers, that were kind of like slapping me with rulers. because i would accidentally take my jewelry home, then get in trouble. stuff like that. that doesn't make any sense. [ laughter ] >> nicole: no, it does, it does. >> then they would have different words. in america you say action! cut!

instead of cut they would be, "stop!" [ laughter ] all day long you'd hear, "stop-a, stop!." [ bleep ], we're just shooting a scene. it was a fire -- fiery and aggressive, in my opinion, but i liked it. >> nicole: really? i think it would give me a complex to be acting, have somebody be like, "stop it!" oh my god, i'm not doing good? >> yeah, yeah. >> nicole: guess what? >> what? >> nicole: we're going to continue this conversation. more with aubrey plaza after this! one day you might realize going to grandma's doesn't count as vacation. when you decide to go to that amusement... -no. -no. when you decide to go to hawaii. aloha. turns out your beach people. i think we're beach people. whoa whoa, slow down boys. we know you love it. and did you know they like ceviche?? and best of all, the hotel has babysitters. so you have a date night. remember those? with amex, it's never a question of if vacation will actually feel like vacation.

i'm lindsey vonn, and ever since i retired from skiing, i've had trouble falling asleep and staying asleep. you know, insomnia. before i found quviviq, an fda-approved insomnia medication for adults. you would not believe the things i used to think about when i couldn't sleep. hey, linds. i need you to sign this business contract. all 114 pages. lindsey, lindsey!! hey, lindsey! it's workout time. hey, big man, we're in the middle of something here. yeah, it's called physical fitness. just a couple dozen more questions, lindsey. don't forget to pack your phone charger for tomorrow morning's flight. it's plugged in right over there. insomnia can impact both my days and my nights. that's why i take quviviq nightly.

quviviq can help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer, and more sleep at night may mean feeling less tired during the day. quviviq works differently than medication you may have taken in the past. quviviq is thought to target one of the biological causes of insomnia. overactive wake signals. do not take quviviq if you have narcolepsy. don't drink alcohol while taking quviviq or drive or operate heavy machinery until you feel fully alert. quviviq may cause temporary inability to move or talk or hallucinations while falling asleep or waking up. quviviq may cause sleepiness during the day. quviviq may lead to doing activities while not fully awake that you don't remember the next day, like walking, driving and making or eating food. worsening depression including suicidal thoughts may occur. the most common side effects are headaches and sleepiness. it's quviviq. ask your doctor if it's right for you.
