[ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> desus: what's up! [ cheers and applause ] let's go, let's go! i see you up top. i see you. keep it going. i can't hear you. [ cheers and applause ]

yes! yes. that's what i'm talking about. yo, welcome to "jimmy kimmel live." i'm your guest host, desus nice. [ cheers and applause ] that's desus like jesus, and nice like -- jesus. [ laughter ] anyway, i'm here to talk to you guys about our lord and savior. beyonce. [ laughter ] [ cheers ] i'm from the bronx. shout out to the bx. [ cheers ] the bronx is the place white people wind up when they miss their subway stops. [ laughter ] listen, i have to say guillermo's been making me feel at home. what's up, my man? >> guillermo: how are you doing, man? you're doing a great job. >> desus: thank you, brother. [ cheers and applause ] >> guillermo: i love that jacket. yeah, you look amazing. yeah! [ cheers and applause ] >> desus: thank you. i love guillermo. he reminds me of those bronx bodega owners who'll sell you weed if you know the secret password. "yo papi, lemme get a box of that cap n crunch, extra crunchy." [ laughter ] listen, it's weird to be hosting a show on network tv because i was on showtime for the past

four years. where they pretty much let you say whatever the [ bleep ] you want. [ laughter ] guillermo, can i say whatever the [ bleep ] i want on abc? >> guillermo: i don't think so. but you're not coming back tomorrow. so who gives a [ bleep ]? [ cheers and applause ] >> desus: that's what i want. >> guillermo: whatever you want, man. >> desus: listen, he made it valid. yo, just so you know, everyone's always telling me l.a. is so great, you've got to move out here. so when i finally come out here, i see this. "megafloods could devastate california." [ laughter ] i've got to give you guys credit. between the earthquakes, the fires, and the megafloods, you guys have a beautiful assortment of horrible ways to die. [ laughter ] of course, the big story right now is the 500th investigation into donald trump. i'm sure you know, the fbi found some shady stuff in trump's basement. they removed about 20 boxes of classified, confidential, and top secret documents. and trump said they took three of his passports. multiple passports, lots of cash, hunted by the fbi. he's like a racist jason bourne, but more orange. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] yeah!

they also confiscated 8,000 mcribs, nine melania clones, one never been used peloton, two tons of industrial grade ranch dressing, girls gone wild volumes 8 through 19. hey, yo. and lindsey graham's testicles. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] yo. trump says the documents the fbi took from mar-a-lago are covered by his white privilege -- excuse me, i mean his executive privilege. [ laughter ] messed that up. and he wants them back. for real. he posted, "by copy of this truth, i respectfully request these documents be immediately returned to the location from which they were taken. thank you." [ laughter ] okay, so let me just break down trump's defense. he says the fbi planted fake evidence to frame him, and now he wants them to return that fake evidence. even oj was like, "yo bro, you wildin.'" [ laughter ] [ applause ] yo, here's the thing donald trump doesn't understand. he doesn't own those documents. they belong to his former employer, the united states

government. that's not how jobs work. when you get fired from an office, you don't get to take the xerox machine home with you. when i got fired from showtime, they didn't let me bring home the cast of "shameless." [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] some people are saying "what's the big deal about a president keeping classified documents at his house?" because his house is a golf resort! [ laughter ] it has a seafood buffet on wednesday nights! come on. [ laughter ] this is like if obama left the nuclear codes at red lobster. [ laughter ] [ applause ] all right. but my favorite part of all of this has been watching republicans go on tv to try to defend trump for putting our national security at risk. >> you do not break into a house of a guy that you've been working with for nine months, that you have to admit has been cooperating with you for presidential records. no. >> can i ask you a question? >> no. >> they were in melania's closet. >> i know.

>> they went into where the president keeps the beach chairs. and the umbrellas. they spent a lot of time there. >> what a bunch of perverts rummaging around the first lady's wardrobe. >> that is a violation of our laws. it's a violation of who we are as americans. >> why not talk to president trump and have him give the information you're after? >> hillary clinton. she's getting manicures right now and pedis up in chappaqua. >> if you listen to my radio show, watch this show, you know my love of law enforcement. it has now been pretty much utterly destroyed. >> famously, president nixon said if the president does it, then it is not illegal. >> the real target of this investigation isn't trump. the real target of this investigation is you. >> most americans now, by the way, in both parties believe we're living in a banana republic. >> we're dealing with the stuff of a banana republic. >> this is the kind of stuff you see in a banana republic. >> it's becoming a banana republic. >> banana republic. >> banana republic. >> banana republic. >> 20% off jeans. this week only at banana republic. [ cheers and applause ] >> desus: whoa, guillermo, we've

got to get down there. they've got jeans on sale. >> guillermo: yeah! [ cheers and applause ] >> desus: yo. all right. meanwhile, president biden got his groove back this weekend. he was out riding his bike at the beach, throwing some shade at reporters. >> mr. president. >> will you come talk to us? >> no. i'm going to get some bathing suits. >> desus: yeah, one of those old-time stripy ones that cover your whole body and got snaps at the crotch. [ laughter ] [ applause ] oh, man. no, it's good to see biden is bouncing back from covid. because according to the new guidelines from the cdc we no longer have to quarantine anymore if we've been exposed to the virus. that's right. we're moving from the "pandemic" phase to the "[ bleep ] it" phase. [ laughter ] i'm actually kind of mad about this because the cdc just took away our best excuse to get out of work. "hey, a guy coughed on me on the l train, so i've got to take the rest of the month off out of an abundance of caution." [ laughter ] [ applause ] oh, man. yes. all right.

enough abot the news. who wants to see a clip about a drunk bear? [ cheers and applause ] yes! that's what i'm talking about. me too. let's see it. >> in turkey crews coming to the aid of a bear. yeah. it was stoned on too much honey. the bear wobbling and then winding up in the back of a pickup truck after being rescued from the forest. the bear actually had too much mad honey, which is a type of honey that can give hallucinogenic effects. yeah. you can see that. >> i was about to say, yeah, he got that good honey. [ laughter ] >> desus: listen, as we say in the bronx, that bear got a little snizzy. [ cheers and applause ] but no. save your judgment because we all look like that late at night in the back of an uber. [ laughter ] speaking of animals, back in new york it's so hot right now that it's causing our squirrels to do some weird stuff like this. >> new york city telling people don't panic over splooting squirrels. yeah. they sploot to cool down in the summer heat just like your dog

does at home. the technique is also sometimes referred to as heat dumping. doesn't everybody do this? >> desus: we all do heat dumping, especially after eating taco bell. [ laughter ] all been there. [ applau ] like i said, i'm from new york, and i've got to admit, being in l.a. has been a bit of an adjustment. for instance, out here, your public masturbators are in way better shape. and they're members of s.a.g. [ laughter ] but there's always been a healthy rivalry between l.a. and new york. but i think it's just because we don't totally understand each other. so earlier today, i went out on hollywood boulevard in an attempt to broker peace between these two fine cities. ♪ >> desus: why are new yorkers so rude? >> they don't got time for no [ bleep ]. >> desus: what's wrong with new yorkers? >> everything. where should i start? they're stinky. they're not nice. they like to feed the rats on the streets. and i'm not okay with that. it makes me uncomfortable. the hot dog's for me, not for

the rats. >> desus: which would you rather have running around kardashians? >> ooh. you got me there. you don't really see kardashians on the street as much. >> desus: but you know about them. >> but you know they're there. >> desus: yeah. it's kind of like rats. do you love l.a. more than new york? >> yes. >> desus: given the choice, gun to your head, you have to eat one of these, which one are you eating? >> pizza in new york is better. >> desus: you can dump all over my town but the pizza there is better. you know that. can we get you to eat a california slice on camera? >> yeah. >> desus: look at this abomination of a slice. it's too healthy. pizza should kill you. the smallest bite i've ever seen in my life. how's it taste? >> like it's trying to be a pizza. [ laughter ] >> desus: now eat l.a. enjoy this veggie dog, dog. >> veggie dog. >> desus: veggie dog. that's what they eat out here. >> not good. >> desus: what's the flavor? >> nothing. >> desus: i need you to take that and throw it in the street. thank you.

we're in l.a. we're going to do our green juice shots. right? do we do the whole thing or -- >> yes. >> desus: all right. let's take it -- ah. i suddenly want to go on an audition. [ laughter ] can you do an impression of a new yorker? >> yo, i'm from new york. how's it going? >> desus: i love that you're black because that sounded racist.

the green foods. and i smoke it too. >> desus: yeah. talking about that, brother. is the weed better here in l.a. than it is in new york? >> it's always the best here. >> desus: i can't even fight you on that. >> it's got the sunshine. >> desus: so you love the sunshine, correct? >> yeah. >> desus: do you feel sunshine makes you stupid? >> is that a fact? is that scientific? [ laughter ] >> desus: are new yorkers miserable? >> it seems like it. >> desus: is it because they don't have enough sunshine? >> probably. they have this thing called winter. >> desus: close your eyes. i'm going to tell you what winter is like. >> okay. >> desus: now imagine. it's cold. so you have on a coat. you're cold. you're waiting for the bus because it's new york. no car. >> gross. >> desus: and then -- and why do you hate winter? >> because of this. [ applause ] >> desus: has this made you hate new york more? >> yes! [ cheers and applause ] >> desus: listen, we've got a great show for you tonight. the owner of the l.a. lakers, jeanie buss is here. we have music from grace ives. and we'll be right back with jerrod carmichael!

[ cheers and applause ] >> you're doing it again. no, no. yeah, i did. i was very angry that day. >> desus: why? like who -- wait. >> because i didn't care. i didn't care at all. i truly like had removed the thought of any of that type of thing from my mind, and i wasn't like making stuff for that reason. and then i heard i got nominated for two and i was like, wait, [ bleep ] it should have been three.

[ laughter ] >> they usually don't. and then it's cold and -- yeah. >> desus: and the weird part, they keep the camera on your face when they announce it. so even if you lose you have to keep smiling. [ laughter ]

>> well, you don't got to. i'm going to mad. i'll be like, i lost? >> desus: so it's two different nominations? it's two different ceremonies you have to go to? >> bro, don't make me go to two hypothetically. [ laughter ] >> desus: that's what i'm saying. >> i was already like challenged with the one hypothetical ceremony. and like there's two? that's too much to think about. i don't know. maybe. are you going to go? >> desus: i didn't get nominated for nothing. [ laughter ] >> just say you like the party. >> desus: i like the party. i'm going to try to get in. they'll be like desus, get out of here.

[ laughter ] >> yeah. i'll probably go. i don't know.

[ cheers ] why does that make you happy? i really wish we had more time. >> desus: you're the only person that describes going to the emmys like going to the dentist. >> i was happy. i just went to the dentist last week. no cavities. i'm soaring. >> desus: give it up.

it's like familiar and i would have support. [ laughter ] >> desus: right. do you remember your early jokes? >> no. >> desus: were they much different than what you do now? >> forgettable things, i'm sure. first of all, i kind of started and kind of find your footing. but i remember figuring it out pretty quick, i guess. but i was out here. i was just like working the clubs in l.a. >> desus: do you remember, did you ever bomb? >> yeah. all the time. i'd bomb all the time. >> desus: did any of them -- >> and it destroys me inside. all of them are equal. all of them, they're equally devastating. >> desus: when was the last time you bombed? >> like probably a couple nights ago, i think. [ laughter ] >> desus: wow. >> no, no. just like it's okay when it's in search of something and it's like i'm trying something. yeah, i bombed and i'd get real sad. then i'd eat unhealthy. and then i listen to brandi's "brokenhearted."

[ laughter ] i listen to "brokenhearted" on repeat over and over. that's my sad song. >> desus: that's your sad song? >> yeah. >> desus: what's your happy song? >> "brokenhearted," actually. [ laughter ] yeah, no. no. [ applause ] i'm real emotional about it. >> desus: got you. >> yeah. >> desus: all right. how has your life changed since you've come out? as far as your comedy? do you have a whole new field of jokes to do? >> i'm like really afraid of going to anti-gay countries now. because i came out and like i get google alerts for myself, and so i just see things, all these like headlines, jerrod carmichael, gay. and i was like, that crosses off half the middle east and like a quarter of africa. [ bleep ]. so now i have to go to places that feel a little friendly. >> desus: so what else is next for you? >> what else is next for me, man? i don't know. i really want to talk about the movie because i have this movie that i really want everybody to see. >> desus: "on te count of three." on hulu. yes. [ cheers and applause ]

>> and i'm actually -- there's a part of me -- it comes out on hulu on the 17th. and i'm really excited for it. there's a part of me that's kind of shocked because it was so hard to get the movie made because of the subject matter. and like the fact that it's airing on like a disney like platform. >> desus: yeah. >> no, go disney. please. [ cheers and applause ] >> desus: give it up for disney. >> please watch it. i'm excited for it because it's a comedy. i think it's really, really funny. i think it's interesting. but i think it also speaks to the time right now. just -- and it's about these two characters who are like lacking motivation in their lives. like trying to seek it. and they decide to give themselves one last day and they make a suicide pact to end their lives at the end of the day. >> desus: disney was okay with that? >> that's what i'm saying, bro. it's crazy. but watch it before they change their minds. [ laughter ] but no, i think it's a very aspirational film.

like it's really about like the decision to live your life. you know, they gave themselves circumstances to do it. and it's about the decision to actually live and overcome like fear in an interesting way. and i really -- i really, really hope people watch it. it's the first film i directed. also co-star with christopher abbott who is one of the best actors alive right now. >> desus: we're going to talk some more about that. more with jerrod carmichael after this! [ cheers and applause ] let's see the damage. righ, oh! that's not good. you sound... tired. oh, thanks. what? when did i- morning! oh, great. there's two of them. good days start with good nights. so i would ask your doctor about both. calling doctor johannes. no, please, i can do that. all right?

[ laughter ] yeah, it's a comedy in the sense that like anything if you push it to its extreme, you find a lot of humor. again, the stakes are so high, for the film it's the last day that they'll ever have. and so like they're -- yeah. at a convenience store with guns. and resolving things in their personal lives. and again, it's kind of wish fulfillment. it is. >> desus: what do you want people to take away from this film after they see it? >> i think that like -- i think as much as this may sound

cliche, i found while making it and being in the mindset while making it that if you actually lived today like it was your last day, you would probably find that it shouldn't be your last day. you'd find so many reasons to live. i really believe that. [ cheers and applause ] and i do think this is a time when people are inundated, like we're inundated with reasons for anxiety, we're inundated with information and news, and we receive news in such an unnatural way. and i really feel bad for like, you know, the generation coming up even after me who lives in the internet and like lives in the -- i feel bad for people older than me that like are consumed by just the noise. and i had a friend who called me yesterday and was going through it. suicidal. and this is not the first time that she had these thoughts. she sent me a text about like being overwhelmed in a

relationship and at work, and it was just like a very startling text to wake up to. she was just like, i'm overwhelmed. and i'm thinking of removing myself from the situation. first of all, that's like -- i told her, that's exactly how joe pesci would kill himself. that's such a strong mobster line. i'm going to remove myself from the situation. let's relax a little bit.

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.
