weekend. right now, jimmy kimmel live. have a great night. ♪ >> lou: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live!" tonight -- quinta brunson. ismael cruz córdova. and music from kane brown. with cleto and the cletones. and now -- jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: thank you. welcome. very nice. welcome. that's very nice. i'm jimmy, i'm the host of the show. i appreciate that. thank you for watching. thank you for joining us here from our studio in southern dewhere, i'll tell you something -- i know things seem

bleak. on top of everything else we have to worry about with crime, heat, earthquakes, kanye west -- [ laughter ] there's a new threat on the horizon. according to a new study done by researchers at cal berkeley, the wildfires that regularly ravage our state could destroy most of our cannabis crops. >> guillermo: no! >> jimmy: yes, guillermo. yes. >> guillermo: [ bleep ]. >> jimmy: cannabis crops are disproportionately impacted by wildfires. because the firefighters' task with putting them out forget what they're doing when they show up. [ laughter ] we are now less than two months away from the midterm elections. more than half of all republican candidates who will be on the ballot in november have either questioned the legitimacy of joe biden's victory or actively tried to overturn the results. how is this a thing? there was literally no evidence of any kind of fraud, certainly not fraud that could have come anywhere close to changing the outcome of the election. secretaries of state from both

parties certified the vote in every state and yet these low lifes continue with this lie. it's the dumbest thing. imagine if half the republican nominees believed that chicken is a vegetable and just say that's it. [ laughter ] this is exactly as dumb as that. and it can't possibly be pointed out enough times. [ cheers and applause ] that many of these same republicans who claim they believe the election was bogus election won in this supposedly fraudulent election? somehow they won and he didn't? i don't know how they managed to thread that needle. but probably no person on the planet is more obsess with the election than mr. mypillow mike lindell. mike had a run-in with the feds yesterday, and, well, i'll let you hear it straight from the man himself. >> this afternoon i went down hunting in iowa for the early teal season with my friend this morning at 4:00 a.m. we got up, headed down to iowa. we were coming back. and we stopped to go through a hardee's in mankato, minnesota.

where i was born. and cars pulled up in front of us, to the side of us and behind us. and i said, um, those are either bad guys or the fbi. >> jimmy: yeah. or maybe you're in an episode of "mankato vice." we don't know. [ laughter ] i have so many questions about this. was the fbi following him? or did they just say, you know what, eventually he's going go to hardee's. we'll just wait here. [ laughter ] i have an idea they followed him around for a few days and stopped him in the place that would make the funniest headline. which was hardee's. for that i commend them. hardee's felt the need to weigh in. they tweeted, now that you know we exist, you should really try our pillowy biscuits. [ laughter and applause ] a sad tweet. the fbi is reportedly looking into mike lindell's connection to a colorado county clerk who was indicted for trying to illegally download data from election equipment after trump lost by 7 million votes, but

unfortunately for the pillow man, the news of his legal predicament has not garnered the outpouring of online support he'd been hoping for. >> this is going to be big, breaking news right now, everybody. get all your friends out right now. we just did a notification push. i'm on facebook live over here, it's kind of funny that mark zuckerbucks is only allowing 40 people on my facebook live. can you believe that? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah, i can believe that. yeah, yes, i can. >> we're taking your cell phone. we have a warrant for your cell phone. i go, no, i said, my whole company, i run five companies off that. i don't have a computer. my hearing aids run off this. everything runs off my phone. i said, and then i said, if i don't give it to you, will you arrest me then? and they, i was just, are you kidding me? you're not getting my phone. >> jimmy: and then he gave them his phone. [ laughter ] and the phone they confiscated was this, this fisher-price model.

[ laughter and applause ] he runs his company from. how funny is it, the guy who claims to have figured out ultra sophisticated plot to hack into and overturn our elections doesn't own a computer. running his business from his motorola razr phone. that the fbi now has. [ laughter ] so the guy who got mike into this mess in the first place, donald trump, issued a furious statement on his pretend social media platform. breaking news, mike lindell the pillow guy was just raided by the fbi. he's raided. america is officially living in a weaponized police state. suddenly he's against weaponized police states. [ laughter ] listen, investigating potentially seditious acts against democracy does not make it a police state. the state of nebraska accessing a 17-year-old's facebook messages to arrest her for getting an abortion, that makes. you get it? i'm guessing no. [ cheers and applause ] but mike lindell, god bless him,

he is so deep into this. he is not going to let legal trouble stop him from believing those who believe the nonsense he believes. today mike doubled down and released a new endorsement for another favorite local candidate. >> hello, i'm mike lindell, ceo of mypillow and mr. january and minnesota's mustache of the month calendar. america needs leaders who can fix our economy. that's why i'm endorsing fat pete for treasury secretary. fat pete is a fellow i used to sell stolen appliances to, to support my habit of ingesting crack cocaine, and let me tell you, he'll do so great at the treasury. he is so good with cash. he used to keep me in stitches. one time he busted my nose with a wrench for trying to sell him a vcr with a sandwich in it. that's how i knew he's a tough dude. he broke four of my ribs with a pool cue just because i gave

his dog cooper half a snickers bar. how was i supposed to know cooper was allergic to chocolate. that's how i know fat pete is good addle gating responsibility, because he wouldn't give me back my keys until i cleaned all the rottweiler diarrhea off. i'm mike minute dell and i'm endorsing fat pete so he don't put me in a trunk with no wrench again. >> paid for with the stolen dishwasher mike changed from ex brother-in-law. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: i'd vote for a fat pete. mike lindell's favorite county clerk isn't the only bobblehead representing the state of colorado. lauren boebert treated her friends in a religious conference to a reading from a version of the bible that was adapted for a decidedly less literal group of worshippers. >> rampant, evil, grabbing and gasping, vicious backstabbing. they made life hell on earth with their envy, wonton killing. i don't know what a wonton killing is. [ laughter ]

i'll have to look that one up. >> jimmy: lauren, a won ton willing is what happens when donald trump goes to an all you can eat-chinese buffet. [ applause ] if you see a wonton killing, call the gazpacho immediately. we have a member of congress who needs help sounding out the menu at panda express. [ laughter ] in more positive news. disney had the d-23 expo. in anaheim. this is a big adventure. all the stars show up to announce the various "star wars" and marvel and other big disney projects on the way. we wanted to be part of the action. we sent a crew to have some fun with some of the actors there. we told them we were trying out an app, one of those which disney character are you apps. then we slipped in, you know the phrase "results may vary"? well, these definitely did. >> hi, i'm anthony mackie, and i'm about to find out which disney character i am. >> three, two, one. >> please let it be snow white.

>> ooh, ooh, it's getting good. i see nemo. >> who's it going to be? >> these are going so quickly, i can't tell who is who. >> i hope i get bambi. >> that's a leg and a foot? and an ankle. i guess that's, i mean, i'm happy with that. >> please let it be snow white. come on. he's not a disney character. >> all right, shake it. oh, come on. is this a joke? this is a joke. i hate jimmy kimmel. >> i don't know what character this is, but it's goat nipples. >> oh, now it's stopped. what's that? i'm a band-aid.

i don't know what that character is. >> let's see. it's a crying baby. this is a pretty accurate depiction of who i am. >> yes, dentures in a glass. that's perfect for me. >> i am that one! i'm a hot dog! >> carrot top. that's not a disney character at all. apparently i'm carrot top. >> i am what you use to clean toilets. perfect. >> please, please, please, give me something good, please, please, please. what the heck? why did i get a trash can? why did i get a trash can? what character is this in a disney movie? i want a redo. >> let me see. okay.

oh, geez. what is this? [ bleep ] i don't, i mean, i drink oat milk. [ bleep ] what is this? >> so now i unstuck it. a shoe! it's a croc. i have crocs. okay. it knew i was a croc at heart. ooh. >> what app is this? i'm a foot. i'm a foot! >> seriously, this looks like beans and bacon. why can't i be mickey or something? >> vodka! this game really knows me. >> huh. mayonnaise. all right. >> i'll do it again. i'm hoping for snow white. let's see if i get her. okay.

this game is over. [ laughter ] >> get out of here. get out of here. ridiculous. i know who i am inside. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: thanks to all our disney characters. we know who are you inside, too. [ cheers and applause ] hold on, how are you? >> i'm good, how are you? >> jimmy: quinta brunson, everybody. >> hey, everybody. >> jimmy: how are you? [ cheers and applause ] you look great. you're a little bit early for your interview. it's after the commercial. >> i know. but i have a favor to ask, actually. you know how when you win an emmy you only have 45 seconds to do an acceptance speech which is like, not that much time? >> jimmy: yeah, yeah.

>> then someone does -- you get less time because somebody does a dumb comedy bit that goes on too long? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: you know, i have heard of that happening in previous years, yeah. [ applause ] >> right, right. >> jimmy: yeah. >> well, i was wondering if i could have extra minutes to thank a couple of extra people i didn't get to on monday night. >> jimmy: now? >> yes. >> jimmy: well, sure, go right ahead. i'll stand back here. >> okay. so thank you again to the academy for this amazing honor. i'd also like to thank randall einhorn, michelle nader, big andy, margie, erin werenberg and channing dungey, adam segal, craig erwick, persona pr, and all of the fans of the show.

>> jimmy: he's the greatest. >> he's so good. all of his stupid work, though. i think other people, not their favorites. "night at the museum ii", "meet the fockers." big fan of that, more than "meet of parents" so i was excited to meet him.

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. got our favorites, chicken mcnuggets. let me guess, a big mac? what's that? where's my mcnugget, dad? what mcnugget?

>> jimmy: we met at the emmys on monday night. you were nice enough to come up and say hello, i'm going to be on the show this week. >> yes, we did, yes, we did. it took me about half of the show and staring at you awkwardly, you didn't see me, for the entire time to muster the courage. >> jimmy: really? wow, i'm flattered. this very handsome young man walks up and says hello. and that was you. >> that was me. >> jimmy: did you meet oprah? >> actually, i did not. i could feel her presence. >> jimmy: yes. >> i think everybody did. when she came in, it was just like a wave. >> jimmy: it was. >> and she was -- her mask was kind of awkwardly huge. kind of covered half of her face. but we all knew it was her. i was telling my friend. i was getting coy, i was getting nervous. i think i just realized that my celebrity crush is oprah. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: i think everyone's was. it's funny. some people are like, should we stand up? there was no question about it.

oh, oprah's here, get up, everybody. >> i stood up, i was like blushing, i don't blush, but i stood up. i was like, truth, i was feeling all giddy and excited. i had one of those moments. that moment, actually, was the moment "i'm here." >> jimmy: we got a great picture of you and oprah together. there you are. [ laughter ] right there. >> i mean, look at me. look at me. [ applause ] i was also, every time i was sitting right there, every time a guest would come in, i was like tilting to get into shot. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: we were learning about you today, and i mentioned you grew up in the mountains of puerto rico. you have an amazing, an inspiring life story. it's really incredible. take us through it briefly? >> well, i grew up in the mountains of puerto rico in the central range of mountains, a very poor town, circumstances back then. rural. i grew up in houses with dirt floors. we had a lot of electricity rationing.

three times a week, we didn't have electricity. i did a lot of homework by candlelight. it was crazy. back then you had to use pencil and paper. then almost about the time where i was ending my essay, a little wax would go on the paper and ruin it. you have to restart the thing. >> jimmy: like benjamin franklin or something. [ laughter ] >> i know. with a quill. but yeah, i mean, my family is highly literate. i was one of the first people that could read and write. i remember reading the newspaper to my aunt and grandma. that started my fire for wanting to start this career, actually. i don't know what i was going to do, i just knew that i wanted to bring these people with me however i could. and bring voice to us. because there's a thing when you're poor that people feel that you need to just like be tough to wait and not participate. and i was like, hell no. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: you worked hard.

you get a scholarship to go to nyu. you move to new york city. and you wind up on "sesame street." >> yes, i did. >> jimmy: which is pretty crazy. in fact, i think i have a photograph of you and elmo and rosita here. >> look at that. >> jimmy: and even at this time you were living -- you didn't have a place. >> no. >> jimmy: you were -- >> i was homeless. i was couch surfing, from couch to couch. sometimes i slept in trains or benches or the park. it all depended, because like if i had a couch and randomly somebody was going to come in, my friends were like, sorry, i need to use it. but i did develop this tactic where i would hit up one of my friends that lived the furthest up, kind of latish at night, so that it was late enough where i'm like, i think i have to stay over. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: it's funny, but i bet it wasn't so funny back then. it was very, very stressful. >> it was stressful, and it was about five years of that.

living in bathtubs or whatever. the thing is, what i tell you about where i came from and everything that i went there, it was a no-brainer to me. i never had a plan "b." for me it was like, i'm going to go and do the thing that i'm doing. it never felt like too much because i was very connected with my mission, so i did what i had to do. >> jimmy: even to the point where it feels like you willed this "lord of the rings" job. i heard that you had a dvd player that you bought for your family, and one of the few dvds you had was "the lord of the rings." how many times did you audition? >> it was like six or seven months worth of auditioning. i cannot tell you how many times i did audition. by the time i auditioned new york, l.a., i got shipped out to south africa, the desert, borderline with namibia. right there, by the time i got there, i got my first rejection. and i was like, again, i was like, nope. i told my managers, they sent it, we kept fighting for it, they gae me another opportunity. by that point, i'm putting my

tape together. everybody's excited. my makeup artists are huge tolkien fans. they do my makeup, set me up with lights. i was living in a tent. tent accommodations. i shoot it in my tent, very little wi-fi. only in this kitchen and the top of the hill. a little bit of like -- it was almost like dialup, you know. put the phone there, plug it in. sleep in the kitchen. eight hours later i wake up in the morning to "upload failed." >> jimmy: oh, wow. >> i'm freaking out. i give the phone to my driver that was this. it drives two hours to the next village where there's wi-fi. he plugs it in, sends it. gets to the producers, and i got my response, and it was nope again. >> jimmy: oh, no, wow. >> by that point i'm freaking out. i really want this role. i really believe that this role is for me. i tell my team, listen.

i know jay lives in barcelona, i speak spanish. i know we're going to vibe. if he meets me, i know he's going to give it to me. let's redirect my flight, i'll show up at his office, we'll have coffee. they're like, relax, don't be creepy. [ laughter ] you know? and don't get arrested. you know? we're trying to get you into the show. by that point the producers sent an e-mail, listen, it's great, but it's not going his way. i made my way to new york. my manager calls and he said, actually, they want to you go to new zealand in two days. i was like, what do these people want, my man! [ laughter ] what do they want from me? >> jimmy: wow. >> i make my way to new zealand, and i really, i truly believe that when i got there and people felt my essence, because there is a warrior led by love. and i really felt if they met me they would know. so i got there. i was kind of like, you know, playing it cool. but i did throw in that energy.

and once i did my audition, i felt that everything turned. and actually, in my audition -- i don't know, third episode, there's a moment that everybody's responding to where i touch a tree and i pray over it and i ask for forgiveness. that was actually something that i did in my improvisation and it made it to the show. >> jimmy: wow. [ cheers and applause ] wow, what a great story. i am very happy for you. >> thank you. >> jimmy: and does elmo know about all this? have you talked to him? >> elmo's up. we made it, my guy. >> jimmy: it was great to meet you. congratulations. it's a big deal. new episodes of "the lord of the rings: the rings of power" available fridays on amazon prime video. ismail cruz codoba, thank you. be back with kane brown. >> lou: the "jimmy kimmel live" concert series is presented by
