for sandy patel larry bill all of us. we appreciate your time right now and jimmy kimmel jessica chastain. have a good night. >> lou: from hollywood - it's “jimmy kimmel live”! tonight, jessica chastain. and maren morris. with cleto and the cletones. and now, jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: thank you. cleto, welcome back. i'm jimmy, i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. thank you for coming, thank you for joining us on another inspiring and amazing day for humankind. i feel like we take a lot for granted.

remember a couple of weeks ago, nasa rammed a spaceship into an asteroid to to try to knock it off course? well, it worked! it worked even better than they expected. it's off course. if dinosaurs could have figured this out, they'd be alive today. [ laughter ] but they didn't. but it really is hard to believe. we live in a country where scientists, who are smart enough to target and hit an asteroid that is 11 million miles away live right next door to people who are so dim, they think vaccines turn you into a refrigerator magnet. [ laughter ] i guess it keeps us on our toes. the successful test means that in the future, we could probably alter the path of an asteroid to make it miss earth. or we just let the asteroid hit us. depending upon how things keep going from here. [ laughter ] did you get home in time to watch the dodgers game last night, guillermo? i know you were wrorried you might not make it. >> guillermo: yeah, fourth inning, jimmy. winning 5-0, and we won. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: the astros, yankees,

phillies, and the dodgers all won their game ones last night. i was watching last night. back to back, everything you need to know about america. space force, jesus, and a boneless chicken wing pizza. [ laughter and applause ] if that doesn't sum this country up, i don't know what does. the main event in washington tomorrow, the series finale of the january 6th hearings. remember those from the beginning of july? they spread it out like the last season of “better call saul.” [ laughter ] but liz cheney and the gang are back tomorrow. they are expected to present new evidence that trump knew there would be violence in advance of the insurrection. the committee has emails from the secret service that will prove he was well aware of what was happening and was going to happen, despite his lies to the temporary. trump knew and purposefully did nothing about it. they told him his supporters were revolting and he said, “no, they always smell that way.” [ rim shot ]

[ laughter ] thank you. you know, sometimes the classics just work. trump was said to be furious the secret service wouldn't let him go to the capitol himself. chocolate mousse-illini wanted to be there. to lead his army of the dumb, but the secret service pulled a melania and ignored him. [ laughter ] and of course, whatever the new evidence may be, it is not likely to move the needle on the right. they don't want to look at the evidence. they could have trump on video saying, ”i hereby order my mob to invade the capitol, kill mike pence, overthrow our democracy, and make me president for life”" and republicans would be like, “oh, well what about hunter? that laptop is very questionable." [ laughter ] once the january 6th hearings are wrapped up, we can finally focus on the other 850 investigations of donald trump. trump wants the supreme court to step in and rule on his dispute with the justice department over those classified documents he stashed in the basement at mar-a-lago. interestingly, the way the jurisdiction worked out, trump's

request went to of all people, clarence thomas. who is the most pro-trump justice. he will decide whether the court will weigh in on this. if he says no -- if he says no, trump's not getting my help from anybody. [ laughter ] clarence thomas' wife is a qanut! her name is “ginny,” for god's sake. which is kind of all you need to know. [ laughter ] the department of justice says these records trump had are so sensitive, it would be a threat to national security if the special master even looked at them alone in his chambers. what could be in these? what did trump take? i hate to even say it, but it is possible he has colonel sanders' secret recipe? [ laughter ] whatever it is, it shouldn't be on the floor at a golf course. trump has been playing the “every president does this” card. so much so, that the national archives put out a statement yesterday pushing back. how much time has this government wasted refuting this man's lies? he says things he knows aren't true. the election was stolen, the calls were perfect, the

documents were mine, it goes on. i know what he's doing. this is blaps when i try to put my kids to bed. he's stalling. [ laughter ] he's 76 years old. his plan is to just keep kicking the can until he kicks the can. [ laughter ] and then we have his pal from “celebrity apprentice.” herschel walker. the latest on herschel is that abortion the mother of one of his sons said he paid for, she says she had to badger him to even get the money. she says she told him, “both of us did this. we both know how babies are made.” which i'm not so sure herschel does. [ laughter ] i'm not so sure herschel knows how bread is made. [ laughter ] maybe herschel doesn't know what “pro life” means. maybe he was like, “i was a pro football player, this is my life.” pro life! [ laughter ] walker sat down with abc news last night where he was asked to set the record straight. >> did you ever have a conversation with this woman at any time about an abortion? >> no. >> did you ever, to your

knowledge, give money to pay for the cost of an abortion? >> no. >> is she lying? >> yes, she's lying. yeah, she's lying. yes, she's lying. >> jimmy: okay, one more question. why are we in a gym? [ laughter ] why are we at planet fitness for this interview? here's more. >> in this current situation, are you saying a flat-out denial to any knowledge of an abortion? or is it -- >> flat-out -- >> -- possible you don't -- >> flat-out lie, lie, lie, lie, lie. what's sad about it, they had, what was it, a receipt, had a check, had all that. hadn't shown anything. hadn't said something about an abortion. that's what terrible. >> jimmy: they haven't shown anything? they have the check, the receipt, a get well card, the fedex slip, his signature, his return address. the only thing they don't have is the dental records from the little nibbles on her earlobes. they had everything.

it's one of two things here. either you paid for an abortion or your opponent has a time machine.pand you should be very. [ laughter ] the election in georgia is now less than a month away. walker does not intend to pull out. pulling out isn't his thing. [ laughter ] [ applause ] so far, we've learned about three children he kept out of the public eye. if this company has its way, there could be more coming. >> there are over 7 billion people in the world. but how many of us have the same father? introducing "34 and me." swab your nose, our team will analyze the results and reveal if herschel walker is your dad. [ laughter ] >> he is. >> yeah, he is. >> what? >> what the [ bleep ]? >> 34andme. >> so what do i do now? >> be quiet.

>> i'm raphael warnock, and i approve this message. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: i can't say i blame you. today was -- it was a rough day for the despicable and ridiculous alex jones today. alex jones was ordered today, by a jury in connecticut, to pay $965 million in damages to the families of eight victims of the sandy hook massacre, which he repeatedly called a hoax. he tormented these families. accused them of faking their children's deaths. in august, a jury in texas ordered him to pay about $50 million to the parents of aother victim of sandy hook. which means between the two cases, he now owes these parents over a billion dollars in damages. i guess the good guys just won the infowars is what happened there. [ laughter ] alex, of course, says he won't pay a cent. he declared bankruptcy to try to protect himself. and had a full-on hissy fit as the verdict was read. >> so proud of our work. this is the devil coming after

us. i feel good about the work i've done and the listener support. this corrupt dying political system wants to try to make you the devil, i'm not the devil. god as my judge, not you globalist scumbags. i personally don't have $2 billion. go to infowarstore.com and get vitamin mineral exfusion, flood us with donations, get the x3, see what it does for your body. >> jimmy: well, we can see what it's doing for your body. [ laughter ] for a sunburned walrus, you look fantastic. [ laughter ] now go get that money for those parents, you disgusting pink garbage person! by the way, we have a fun show for you tonight. maren morris is here tonight. [ cheers and applause ] can i help you? >> no, thanks, we've already been helped. is this the way to the parking lot? >> jimmy: yeah. >> oh, cool, thanks. >> jimmy: okay. uh -- okay.

what's going on in the green room? can we see what's happening out there? what is that? oh, that's jessica chastain's dressing room. i see. jessica, jessica. hey, jessica, it's jimmy. [ cheers and applause ] very quusing. what is happening in your -- >> hey, jimmy. you tell me. i left my dressing room for two minutes, came back, someone turned it into a spirit halloween store. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: oh, boy. oh, no, i'm so sorry. that does haen, yeah, a lot. >> excuse me, how much is this "encanto" costume? >> i have no clue whatsoever. >> is there someone here who can help us? >> nope. here, just take it. just take it. elsa costume, all of it. >> jimmy: wait, you're working there? >> yeah, just until josh gets back. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: who's josh? >> he's my manager, i think he's outside smoking weed. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: oh. i'm so sorry, jessica. this has never happened before. >> well. this is crazy. some guy just asked me for a slutty jeffrey dahmer costume.

[ laughter ] >> jimmy: i'm so sorry that's happening. >> cool, a jessica chastain costume, where did you get the fun wig? >> thanks, the wigs are back where my bathroom used to be. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: this is not how we should be treating our guests. guillermo, can you -- where's guillermo? guillermo? [ laughter ] >> guillermo: excuse me, lady. does this come in another size? [ cheers and applause ] >> i think that fits you perfectly. >> guillermo: i am a size 4 petite. [ laughter ] >> you look great. >> guillermo: thank you. i like your jessica chastain costume. where do you get the funny wig? [ laughter ] >>jimmy: jessica, i'm so sorry, don't worry, we're going to get you out of there -- >> [ bleep ]. >> jimmy: we'll get you in another room. >> i can't hear you, this thing goes off every two minutes. >> jimmy: i was just saying -- >> shut up! >> jimmy: i was just saying -- never mind, sorry, jessica. all right. we are going to take a break. when we come back, we'll be back with jessica chastain, so stick

you don't realize how much you love it until you travel and they don't really have it. >> jimmy: right. >> in europe, they don't really have halloween. >> jimmy: what would you say to a young person celebrating their first hall reason as an adult -- >> okay. >> jimmy: who's come here from another country where it's not that popular. and has decided to dress as an onion? [ laughter ] like for instance this young lady right here. [ cheers and applause ] >> i think you're going to get a lot of candy. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: what's your best halloween costume ever as a kid? >> i loved pippy long stocksings. >> jimmy: what happened to pippy long stockings? >> the wires in the braids -- my braids were all crazy, i loved it. >> jimmy: i feel like pippy long stocking is something that's gone, like holly hobby, they're both gone. >> i think world. >> jimmy: heidi? >> you might be older. >> jimmy: heidi's gone, pippy's

gone, holly's gone, they're all gone. how old are you in this photograph? >> i don't know, but aren't i cute? >> jimmy: you're very cute. and rambunctious, it seems like. >> yeah. that kid was a bit of a nightmare, i will say that. >> jimmy: this has got to be after candy. >> i would get a pellow case, my mom was really, she was like the halloween expert, the trick-or-treat expert. we would use fellow cases because we would go out for hours. so yeah, i probably had a lot to eat at that point. >> jimmy: you can hold a lot. that's why in prison they fill them with batteries and beat each other to dead. [ laughter ] >> and fight each other because. my mom had a trick so we wouldn't eat it all. she taught us at a very young age to play poker with it. and she would take it all from us. >> jimmy: she would? the candy would be the money? >> exactly. so like, you know, like i don't know, a reese's pieces, a little cup that might be -- a peanut butter cup might be a 5-cent

piece. a package of m&ms, that would be a dollar. >> jimmy: i would put it above -- >> the little ones. >> jimmy: what about smartees? throw those on the ground? >> there's a ranking. >> jimmy: you decided amongst yourselves what each is worth? >> it was so smart of her, we thought it was so cool, grownup, to play poker. at the end of the night, you don't have candy left. >> jimmy: it's a double good lesson. don't eat candy, don't gamble. wow. did you get good at it? did you ever get to the point where you started winning mom's candy? >> no, but i knew when i hit it. i'd take it anyway. >> jimmy: is that a tradition you will continue? >> no. i'm trying to figure out with the kids, i don't know how you are with your kids. the candy situation is no joke. >> jimmy: we do -- i'll tell you if you want to hear what we do. >> yeah. >> jimmy: we'll give them a

couple of pieces of candy, then we put it in a bucket, then every night for the next -- until, really, until i think valentine's day comes around, and they get a new set of candy, we'll let them pick it out until they get down to the candy they don't want anymore. >> yeah, no, it's a thing. because in new york, it's a pretty -- also, here's the thing i get nervous about. you're taught as a child, don't take candy from strangers. >> jimmy: right. >> right? and halloween is all about taking candy from strangers. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: uh-huh, yeah. >> and it's celebrated. >> this movie of yours. >> yes, "the good one." >> jimmy: i don't want to say too much -- >> it's a hard movie to talk about. >> jimmy: i don't agree, necessarily. it is super interesting. grim but from interesting. >> yeah. >> jimmy: i can't believe i didn't know about it. >> yeah. it's a true story. i play amy loughran. she's a nurse that needs a heart transplant. she's working the night shift. she's a single mom. on the night shift, there are a lot of codes at the hospital. unexpectedly. and the cops approach her to try

to help them solve the crime of who is committing the violence. >> jimmy: right. and you're not going to say -- you don't want to say too much about it -- >> not too much. it's a true story, it also looks at system. how come the crimes went on so long? >> jimmy: right. i think i have a theory as to why, and it's always about money in your case, candy, whichever, they're interchangeable. >> health for profit, yeah. >> jimmy: yeah, and eddie redmayne is your costar. >> yeah, eddie. >> jimmy: he's a nice guy, right? >> he might be the kindest person i've ever met. it's disgusting. >> jimmy: really? >> yeah, it's a little bit -- in the beginning you go, are you really this nice and then he is. >> jimmy: what's so good about him? what does he do? he does seem nice. >> he's so polite, which i love. he remembers everyone's names. everyone. we'll ob this tour together. and he'll see someone that he hasn't seen in six years, he'll know everything about them.

he's going around talking to people? he doesn't call everyone "sport" which is what i do. [ laughter ] >> exactly. s . >> he's amazing.r, sport, champ. he's a gem. >> jimmy: he does sound like a gem. he's not such a gem in the movie, is he? >> not really. >> jimmy: we have a clip here. do you need to set this up beforehand? >> this is a moment -- by the way, completely true story. amy im loughran is incredible. she's at home and the cops come to solicit her help. >> "the good nurse." >> is there another victim? another double medication error? >> was cullen with kelly anderson? >> this is nothing to do with charlie. >> how well do you know him? >> really well. >> do you? he's been at nine hospitals, and none of them will talk to us. >> what do you mean?

feel so useless, you know? i want to do whatever i can to help or amplify something. so i got on a plane, i flew to warsaw, i drove for 4 1/2 hours, i got on a train for 12 hours with my friend. no translator, no security. >> jimmy: really? >> yes. >> jimmy: you weren't with a group or anything? >> no, i wasn't with an organization. >> jimmy: so you put wayz in your phone and drove? >> no, zelenskyy's administration helped me. once i got over the border, i was met with people who helped bring me to kyiv. >> jimmy: i see. >> i went to see the destruction, i went to a children's hospital, i met incredible people in kyiv. it's hard to talk about now because it's so sad, what's going on now. >> jimmy: we don't really get to see much of what's happening there on the news. because it's so dangerous for journalists to be there. and, well, what was it, worse

than you expected it was going to be? was it better? >> it was more -- i mean, i understood how sad it would be. and i knew i had to go. i don't want to get emotional. but it felt like when i was meeting the kids at the hospital, my heart was going out to them. there was a girl with her mom, and she needed new legs. you know. so that was really devastating. >> jimmy: yeah. >> i met some families in erpin who are sharing an apartment. they made a beautiful lunch for me. at one point i said, that is a bullet hole in the mirror? i looked at the ceiling, there were bullet holes. the chair i was sitting in had bullet holes. and there's little kids. a 6-year-old, a 4-year-old. i don't understand what is happening to the world. you know, i'm so lucky to get to do what i do. and even like with what's happening in iran right now, if there's any way i can use my platform to help amplify other

stories, you know, desiring freedom and equality and safety, then i just feel it's my responsibility.

announced on facebook that i was there. so i could just see everyone in the street just start to turn and look at me like they knew it was me. >> jimmy: wow. >> and i was like, i need to get on the train. >> jimmy: yeah. >> get out of here. but everyone was so sweet. such good, good people. >> jimmy: well, thank you for being here. i hope you have a great halloween. and i hope people do not forget ukraine and the women in iran. jessica chastain, everybody!

[ laughter ] >> jimmy: it's funny you say that, they were saying, "yeah, well, we wrote this comedy song, and she didn't even rehearse it, she did it perfectly, she just went right on and did it perfectly." >> thank you. >> jimmy: i was like, "oh, huh." >> no, i'm totally kidding. it's crazy how much you have to do. you have to ask people questions, you have to appear intereste ed [ laughter ] >> jimmy: that is true. that is true. >> hard sometimes.

>> jimmy: tell me more about that. >> okay. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: did you have trouble appearing interested? willie nelson bass your guest, he's interesting. >> oh, yeah, willie nelson i got to interview. i'm from texas, it's legendary anyways. >> jimmy: as good as it gets? >> yeah. >> jimmy: have you had conversations with willie, personal conversations before? >> i had, but he was my first interview for that night, so it kind of felt nice to break the ice with willie. >> jimmy: it's different when you're interviewing somebody, because you don't typically batter them with questions when you're having a conversation. >> yeah, like a job interview. >> jimmy: somebody like willie nelson, you probably have questions for him. >> you get such finite time. i don't know how you keep these interviews on the rails most of the time. >> jimmy: you know what the hardest part is? right behind you is guillermo dressed as a cartoon character. >> oh my gosh, how are you? [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: it's distracting. >> guillermo: she did a great job. >> jimmy: other than that, it's easy. >> thank you, you were my

copilot. i really had no idea youright there.

[ laughter ] sxhipd, i'm selling the rv. and they burst into tears. >> yeah. >> jimmy: they love the -- loved being in the bunks, you know. does he have that? he sleeps on the rv? >> yeah, he has a little crib. it looks like a cage. [ laughter ] it's so he doesn't roll out or

escape during the night. >> jimmy: yeah. >> so yeah, he's bolted in. >> jimmy: because if you make a hard turn, the kids come flying out of the thing. >> yeah, you don't want that. >> jimmy: yeah, that did happen to us, yeah. >> oh, no. yeah, so he's bolted in every night. but no, it's fun because i feel like i've missed being on tour. i've never toured with a baby because, you know, he was born at the very beginning of the pandemic. so this is my first time being a mom on the road. didn't know what to expect. it's like he's gotten to see every children's museum, every aquarium, every zoo in every city. he's 2 1/2 and really cultured. >> jimmy: by the time he's 10, there will be nothing left. [ laughter ] "yeah, been there, seen it, did it." >> i know. >> jimmy: yeah. >> i kind of fear -- as a parent you support any of their dreams. but you know, my husband and i are like, please don't end up in the music industry. >> jimmy: is that right? >> we joke and want him to be an accountant. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah. i bet this kid's going to have a lot of talent. he better have a lot of talent, really, there's a lot of

pressure with you and dad, you know. i mean, really. >> yeah. >> jimmy: these probably -- how old were you when you started singing? >> i was 10. >> jimmy: 10 years old. >> i started touring then as well. >> jimmy: because you played in your parents' beauty salon? >> yeah, i started there. i played every opry, chili cook-off, tailgate that texas could offer before i was 13. >> jimmy: in the beauty salon -- so what, there would be ladies with the hair dryer going, and you'd be there playing? >> no, no. i mean, they wish. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: it would be a special concert? >> yeah, i would serenade them, or we'd have christmas parties and i would sing for the clientele. >> jimmy: i see. >> i mean, i was kind of forced to. but -- yeah. >> jimmy: is that right? >> yeah. but i mean, it kind of all worked out the way it was supposed to. i'm sitting here, so -- >> jimmy: right, sure. >> started at the salon. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: to think about it, there aren't many musicians,

certainly not at your level, who were performing on the floor covered with hair. [ laughter ] >> yeah. >> jimmy: you know? >> yeah, that's true. i mean, we all have to have our start somewhere. >> jimmy: when did you start writing songs professionally? >> so when i moved to nashville almost a decade ago, i didn't really want to be an artist, i wanted to write songs for other people. i mean, i was a staff songwriter. so i had, like -- >> jimmy: what does that mean, staff songwriter? >> i would go in monday through friday to my publisher on music row in nashville. there's two streets called music row. tons of publishers, studios line the streets. >> jimmy: you'd report to a regular job? >> yeah. so i will look at my calendar for the week, they'll pair me with people i've never met before. so it's kind of like blind dating. >> jimmy: huh. >> you write a song, pour your heart out, then your publisher tries to pitch that song to a label who's looking for songs for their artist or whatever. i was mildly successful at that. i think i was always supposed to

just be the one singing my own songs. >> jimmy: right. >> but yeah, kelly clarkson and tim mcgraw recorded songs of mine. >> jimmy: you must have been so excited when they picked your songs to record. >> oh my gosh. it was so validating. i felt like i was taken seriously, for sure, after that. >> jimmy: then did you wish you had that song back for yourself? [ laughter ] >> you know, i actually recorded the song that kelly recorded on my first record. it was a few years after she had done it. and she's so supportive of it. and she's amazing. but yeah, i never want them back, really. i never feel like they've been stolen. i feel like that was my credibility card, was kelly clarkson is singing words you wrote and you pulled out of your ass. [ laughter ] that's pretty cool. >> jimmy: also, it helped really launch you to perhaps the pinnacle of any professional career, the cover of "pic "pickleball" magazine. [ cheers and applause ]

which is -- i don't know why i'm purely delighted by this. >> "vogue," eat your heart out. >> jimmy: you love pickleball. there you are thinking about pickleball. [ laughter ] next to the bus. your son's in the cable, you're pickleballing. [ laughter ] >> yeah, pickleball is life. >> jimmy: is it? does ryan play pickleball also? >> yeah, but we kind of picked it up on the road. >> jimmy: okay. >> on this tour. we would set up courts outside the tour bass and play each other. it was kind of like a team bonding thing. then everyone got really into it. >> jimmy: is it competitive now? >> apparently there's a "pickleball" magazine. they'll be freaking out we're mentioning this on the show tonight. yeah, i'm the cover girl. >> jimmy: you are. you sure are. [ cheers and applause ] will you play against your bandmates and against your husband? do you guys have set teams? it's something you look forward to? >> oh, yeah. >> jimmy: are fierce about?

>> we play doubles, we have scorecards. yeah, there's a lot of trash talking. we just do it after sound check and before shows. and it was kind of a good way. we hadn't toured in so many years. there were a few new faces in the crew. i felt like that first night, we played after the show in the parking lot -- >> jimmy: they say there's no better way to get to know somebody can to play pickleball with them. >> that's, i think, the "pickleball" motto. [ laughter and applause ] >> jimmy: you're playing the hollywood bowl. everyone here in l.a. knows the hollywood bowl. >> if there's room. >> jimmy: are you excited about that? >> i am. i've never been to the bowl. >> jimmy: you've never been even as an attendee? >> no, the last time i played l.a., i did the greek. >> jimmy: uh-huh, another great theater. >> yeah, the bowl, that's going to be some big shoes to fill. i'm really excited. we've got some special guests coming up. >> jimmy: you do? that's nice.
