johnson. ama: good night. >> lou: from hollywoodm, it's "jimmy kimmel live!" tonight, earvin "magic" johnson, fortune feimster, and music from wet leg. with cleto and the cletones. and now, jimmy kimmel! ♪ [ cheering and applause ] >> jimmy: very nice. i'm jimmy. i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. tank you for joining us on what is a holiday tonight, you know. today is -- i think it's probably the most controversial

federal holiday of all of them, columbus day. here's how you know columbus day isn't so hot anymore. there's no google doodle for it. there's nothing. they usually is a doodle for the holiday. they had a doodle to celebrate fairy bread day. today there they're doodle-less. not only is it columbus day, it's also indigenous people's day, which it should be probably. but we have to pick one or the other, right? that's like saying it's arbor day and chainsaw day. it can't be both. i don't know why columbus even has a day. and i understand why italian-americans get upset when you say this. in school, we were taught that he discovered america. when the truth is, he never stepped foot anywhere even close to north america. not only that, leif erickson set foot on canada, hundreds of years before columbus was born, and columbus, who was by all accounts a cruel and terrible and self-serving person wasn't even italian. there was no italy back then. it hadn't been formed yet. so why would we defend him? the guy had one job.

to get to india, and he missed it by 9000 miles. but rather than admit he was wrong and not in india, he just started calling everyone "indians," which is so willfully ignorant. if he were alive today, he could probably run the republican party. [ applause ] if you're being honest with yourself. columbus is basically what would have happened if donald trump had been born in the 1400s and his dad gave him a boat. okay? so i say if you want to celebrate a great man of italian descent today, make hit the guy, tommy lasorda. [ applause ] he sailed the dodger blue! he made that san diego chicken into chicken parmigiana! the point is we can do better than columbus. and, of course, our former president, who is always on the wrong side of everything, disagrees. he weighed this morning on his discount social media platform. he wrote, "bring back columbus day!" last time i saw him get this worked up was when he posted "bring back the mcrib!" here's an idea.

how about we bring back columbus day and you bring back those classified documents you stole? okay? [ applause ] there are new developments in in story. the special master has ordered the justice department to return any documents they seized from mar-a-lago that are not privileged or government property. that includes the box marked "eric" with all the little air holes punched in it. we also learned the justice department believes trump may still be hiding classified documents, which this is incredible. according to "the new york times," at one point when the archives are trying to retrieve the boxes he took, you know, they asked him for it first. trump floated the idea of trading some classified documents for documents related to the investigation of his campaign's ties with russia. so not only was trump aware he had documents he shouldn't have had, he wanted to use them as a bargaining chip to get even more documents he shouldn't have. what a deal maker. this is like if you walk out of

the louvre with a bunch of picassos and you're all right, i'll give them back for a van gogh, all right? that's not how it works. it's not how it works, and he knows that. he knows he is in trouble. once again, he is out on the road, trying to drum up support from the dummies who still haven't had enough. the build-a-wallapalooza tour made a stop in mesa, arizona yesterday. trump yammered for almost two hours with no intermission. his new thing is to try to pretend that other presidents, like bush and obama, did similar things with their documents, and no one did anything about it. >> bill clinton took millions of documents from the white house to a former car dealership in arkansas. kept classified recordings in his sock. they say he left the white house with recordings in his sock, and they found them in his sock drawer. and they didn't find them. he found them, i guess. somebody found them, but they were in the sock drawer. jimmy carter sent the nuclear codes to his dry-cleaner. you know that, right?

>> he is like spam come to life. some idiot tells him something and he runs with it. he just kepts repeating it. and none of that excuses intentionally stealing and leaving classified documents laying around your golf course. but it's all a plan, the whole thing is just him priming the pump to get people to riot when he inevitably goes to jail. >> yeah! >> jimmy: hold on a second. so any way, maroon .45 also made a stop in minden, nevada where he appeared alongside adam laxalt, who is another clown capitalizing on his family's name. laxalt is running for senate in nevada and has been drinking gallons of the orange kool-aid along the way. >> let me ask you something. do we miss the trump economy right now? do we miss trump gas? >> jimmy: well, melania doesn't. i'll tell you that!

when his pants aren't full of paul laxalt's face, trump has been workshopping some new material at these rallies, including this puzzling assertion. >> two years ago, think of it, two years ago, everything was so good in our country. and now -- >> jimmy: and now? by the way, remember when we had to ration toilet paper and the parking lots were makeshift morgues? that was two years ago. those were the days! you know what specifically happened two years ago this week? >> president trump a short time flown to walter reed hospital after both he and the first lady tested positive for the coronavirus. >> jimmy: two years ago he was being medevac'ed to the hospital like a wheezing manatee, like operation dumbo drop, and he is longing for those days. two years ago, sarah palin, you remember her? was on "the masked singer."

now she lost the special election to fill a vacant seat in the house, but she's running for the same seat in the next election, even though this election, which she lost in the primary, hasn't even happened yet! this is a woman who quit her job as governor 18 months before the term was finished to go make money. that didn't really work out, so she is back running again. and her popularity in the state of alaska has never been stronger. she headlined a get out the vote rally in anchorage yesterday, where her opener was a james brown impersonator. and as you'll see here, the crowd was pretty fired up. [ laughter ] >>. ♪ >> jimmy: and he was never seen again. that was it. the last james brown impersonator in alaska is gone. but the sarah palin story is downright tame compared to

what's happening down in georgia. herschel walker, you know about this, the senate campaign, it now has been legally recategorized as an episode of "the maury povich show." every day this story gets worse. first, we found out he paid for an abortion, again, he is a pro-life guy and sent the mother a get well card. then, after initially denying he even knew the woman, we found out he had a child with the woman. and now, the mother claims he wanted to abort that kid too! tomorrow, we're going to learn he used to perform abortions in the cowboys' locker room after games. herschel admits he may have sent the woman some money or a card, but says it wasn't for the purpose of getting an abortion. right. he probably sent her a card for like a very aggressive pedicure or some medical procedure like that. i feel like we need to know more about this. when "the daily beast" broke this story last monday, herschel pushed back in a very strongly worded statement. he wrote "i plan to sue the daily beast for this defamatory

lie" it will be filed tomorrow morning. that was a week ago. whatever happened to the lawsuit? did you abort that too? if they defamed you, go get 'em. meanwhile, it was a busy weekend for our future president. kanye west is -- ye-zier than ever. he got locked out of his twitter account yesterday after posting "i'm a bit sleepy tonight, but when i wake up, i'm going death con 3 on jewish people." all caps were a nice touch. he who change his name from ye to boo, right? even mel gibson is "reel it in, buddy"! he also suggested, publicly, that his friend, diddy, who was trying to talk some sense into him, is being controlled by jews. so, i guess my kanye-themed bar mitzvah is off. this came on the heels of kanye's exclusive sit-down with fellow white supremacist, tucker carlson, who went above and beyond to try to make his

guest appear to be mentally healthy. >> i keep telling this joke. if people say trump was the first black president -- >> jimmy: okay, no one says that. >> the first latino president, because all the values, the conservative values just line up. come on, man, trump [ bleep ] what do you mean, he has his own buildings? he is like ralph lauren. he made ivanka. >> you like ivanka? >> yeah. >> jimmy: oh my god. all of a sudden, they both got super horny at the same time. but if ye does like ivanka, he apparently does not feel similarly about her husband, jared, and his brother, josh. >> sitting with jared and sitting with josh and finding out other pieces of information, i was like wow, these guys might have really been holding trump back. they loved to just look at me or look at trump like we're so

crazy and that they're the businessmen. you know where he made these peace treaties? i just think it was to make money. i don't know. is that too heavy-handed to put on this platform? >> no, that's your opinion. we're not in the censorship business. >> okay, thank you. >> jimmy: yeah, we're in the fear and dictatorship business. all right. enough politics. a very important announcement to make. if there are people asleep in your house, wake them up. they're going to be glad. they will thank you for doing it. last december at sofi stadium the world celebrated the first bowl game the jimmy kimmel l.a. bowl. it was a major success. some estimates say there were more than a thousand fans at this game. and so based on that, we are going to do it again this year on saturday, december 17th. get your tickets for this.

[ laughter ] >> jimmy: more than 11? >> yes. >> jimmy: more than 11. okay. >> you know, it's a long season. but one thing is great about the dodgers. not only are we -- we've owned them for ten years now. we've been number one in attendance for ten straight years, yeah. [ applause ] and what's great, we travel well. our fans go to the ball parks. >> jimmy: typically it's the opposite. you go to the rams game and the cowboys fans. >> like yesterday, i was at that game. >> jimmy: right. >> boy, we stunk up the stadium too.

>> jimmy: do you want an nfl team too? >> that would be next. >> jimmy: that would be next. [ applause ] when the dodgers are about to -- high expectations. obviously, they're favored to win the world series. do you go in and talk to the guys? do you stop by like a snap 'em in the ass with a towel or anything like that? is there any kind of preplay-off interaction? >> no, jimmy. i leave them alone. >> jimmy: you leave them alone? >> you know, when you play sports, you know that those guys have their rituals that they go through. so, you know, some like it quiet. some have their music on. so i don't bother them. i let them get ready for the game. like tomorrow, they're going get ready. they're going to focus, do what they have to do. and i stay on the sideline. now, i go crazy. i sweat like i'm actually playing in the game. >> jimmy: really? >> yes, you know. my whole shirt is all wet, man,

because i'm so excited. not only for dodger fans, but for baseball too. because the dodgers are amazing. and we've done a lot for major league baseball as well. >> jimmy: you -- when you were a player with the lakers, the owner of your team, dr. jerry buss, he loved you and you loved him, and he would take you on trips, right?pyou guys would go together. >> yes. >> jimmy: tell me, you go on the team plane? would the casino send a plane? how would it work? >> no, back then we flew commercial. >> jimmy: you flew commercial, with dr. buss? >> with dr. buss. we go into las vegas, and we probably take about ten seats because he would take six girls with him. >> jimmy: true vegas. >> and so we would all go, and he would have a baccarat -- i hope i'm saying that right, a baccarat table. and i would have a chair right behind them. >> jimmy: okay. >> so he would be feeding me chips, though. here is $5,000 worth of chips.

go gamble. and i put them in my pocket. so the next day, here is 5,000 more. go gamble. i put them in my pocket. so we'd be there three days, i have me $15,000.

i've never told anybody this. i'm glad you brought this up. this is the first time publicly. >> jimmy: that is amazing. i love to imagine you in the little shorts just jam-packed with chips. >> and they were hot pants too! expect imagine trying to get in them today. >> jimmy: despite that being a telling story and a sweet story, it also sounds like a salary cap violation. >> today it would be. but i wonder why he didn't give me one the girls. i don't know. >> jimmy: so you ever take like dodger players on trips like that or anything like that? >> no, no, no, no. they make too much money. they should be taking me on trips. you know, i talk to mookie and the rest of the guys. any time they want to have a conversation. >> jimmy: isn't mookie something else? did you hear what he did? it was his birthday the other day. >> yes, yes. >> jimmy: he wakes up in the morning. he goes bowling, and he throws a

perfect game. and then goes to practice later. >> yes. >> jimmy: it's incredible. >> he could be on the tour, the bowling tour, he is that good. >> jimmy: and will you buy the bowling tour also if he gets on it? >> of course! i would invest in it, no question about it. >> jimmy: you guys had a -- do you organize this, this reunion, the langers reunion? >> i organized the whole reunion with pat riley, our coach. >> jimmy: players from the show-time era. >> yep. all the show-time era. so we went through the '80s and kareem, james worthy, michael scott, kurt rambis, all the guys came back. we went to hawaii for six days. >> jimmy: six days in hawaii. did you fly over there together? >> some did. like 20 guys did. and some were on other flights. but jimmy, we laughed and we laughed and we laughed. >> jimmy: i bet. >> we had so much fun. >> jimmy: did you do, besides hanging out? >> we had -- one night we had jeffrey osborne perform. >> jimmy: oh, that's great.

fitness. it didn't not stick with me. >> jimmy: oh, right. he had the -- right. >> he's also a legend. all these movies that he's done over the years. this is his first television show. it's for netflix. and i just assumed when they approached me about the show that i would be the person in the van doing like the computer stuff. >> jimmy: the headset on. >> yeah, like holding a slushie in my hand. and being like you're a danger. but i was a field operative. i was in the thing, doing the thing. >> jimmy: oh, you were shooting and everything. >> yeah. >> jimmy: wow. >> jimmy, i'm telling you, i'm an action star. >> jimmy: i guess so. [ cheering ] do you have -- do you and arnold have a lot of action scenes together? >> yeah we got to do some really cool stuff. >> jimmy: really? >> we had this whole day of all these explosions. we were shooting beside each other at bad guys.

and i'm like this is "the terminator" and i'm shooting at bad guys with him. we're army crawling across the floor together. >> jimmy: he is still doing that? >> he is amazing. he was doing all of it and killing it. it was really neat to see that. >> jimmy: he loves it. and you're there and oh my god. >> yeah, he loves it. and i would tease him a lot. he has a great sense of humor. he is always going it's not a tumor. >> jimmy: right, right. who did more of his old movie lines, you or him? >> i would do them to him, and he would be okay, all right. but then he would like go to the bathroom, and would look at me and say "i'll be back." there we go. >> jimmy: you got to play the hits. >> yeah. see she a good sport. >> jimmy: is it especially great to be on a set that arnold schwarzenegger is on?

i imagine, does he is a big gym set up there? >> he worked out at his hotel. i would say to him, we're going go work out together, right? and then he would be 6:00 a.m., and ehh, i'm going catch you on the next one. >> jimmy: i saw your netflix special. >> you did? >> jimmy: oh, very funny. your second netflix special. both very funny. >> thank you. >> jimmy: i was thinking about this. a good fortune, it amazes me that that wasn't the title, that you had that in your pocket. >> i know. i had this name fortune all along. didn't even see it. but i don't know. it made sense for this one because i talk about different things in my life that i'm lucky to have. i'm lucky to have met my now wife, and i'm lucky that certain things happened the way that they did. and then also there are things that i talk about that didn't go as planned. you know, there are things life like getting engaged that you have a lot of pressur

about, and you want to get it right. and it's sort of taking those things that didn't go right and finding the good in them. what is the positive thing that came out of this. >> jimmy: the good fortune. >> it made sense. [ applause ] >> jimmy: and you also talk about that people have kind of an idea of you and what you might be like good or at not good, whatever. it doesn't necessarily match up with reality. >> yeah. have i these broad shoulders, and i look very tough. i said it, i'm an action star. but i don't want this feminine blazer to fool you. i can be kind of a dainty lady too. i'm not always what meets the eye. so i talk about that and how i'm different than what you might think. i'm not the protector of my family always. my wife is the one who. >> jimmy: she is the one? >> she is the one who has to step up. yeah, she has taken off her high heel before because our alarm went off. and she had to check the

parameters. and she's like you're not going to go in and check? no, i'm good right here. and so she went in with her high heel like it was a weapon. and i stayed in the doorway holding the key fob a little tighter than normal. and i was like i'll press this button, i swear to god! it says panic, and i'm panicked. so, yeah, i mean, we're in trouble if i'm in charge. >> jimmy: well, maybe you'll move next door to arnold or something and he can cover everything. how is your mother doing? last time you were here, you were talking about your mom, who is quite a character, as i recall. >> she is. my mom ginger. i think i'm becoming more like her than i would like to admit. >> jimmy: oh really? >> because she also is a dainty lady. she has a tendency to get people to do things for her, and they don't even realize it's happening. she'll be like on an airplane, and just like oh, is that my

luggage up there? oh, i can't reach it. and then like i'll go to pick her up and there is two men carrying her luggage. she is this is jay. he's got her jacket. she has an entourage suddenly of people doing things for her. >> jimmy: it sounds like she is smart. did she come visit you on the set with arnold? >> she did not. i did not invite her. >> jimmy: is that right? were you worried? >> i was worried, because, you know, she likes an action man. i didn't know. i didn't know what would happen. but she thinks that she likes to travel. and then i invite her to places, and she just wants to get on the hop on, hop off buses that go around the state. but she doesn't want to hop off. she wants to hop on and just point at things and be okay, i saw the city. you did not. >> jimmy: well, it's great to see you. >> nice to see you. >> jimmy: congratulations on the tv show and your netflix special.
