we appreciate your time. from all of us, i am dan ashley. now, jimmy kimmel. have a good night. >> lou: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live!" tonight -- sigourney weaver. jovan adepo. and music from dawes. with cleto and the cletones. and now, jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: welcome, guillermo. hi, there. thank you. thank you. i'm jimmy, i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. thank you for joining us at our headquarters in hollywood. where, like everyone, we are gearing up for the holidays. we have our office secret santa this week.

we're getting mariah carried away this week. [ laughter ] that song "all i want for christmas," is number one on the billboard hot 100 chart again. for the fourth year in a row. it's a 25-year-old song. they should rename it "mariah carey's 401 k." [ laughter ] cold winter storms are working their way across the country. it's even cold here in l.a. driving into work today, i saw chewbacca wearing a fur coat. which is weird. it's like seeing a cow in a leather jacket. [ laughter ] at the white house today, president biden brought the heat, signing what they call "the respect for marriage act," [ cheers and applause ] which protects same-sex and interracial marriage from the possibility of another unwanted ruling from the supreme court. biden, back in 1996, voted for "the defense of marriage act" which defined marriage as a relationship between a man and a woman. then, in 2012, he became the highest-ranking u.s. politician to puck publicly support same-sex marriage when he was vice president. he even beat obama to it. and now, it's possible that

maybe he's a little bit too excited. [ laughter ] that's not necessary. [ applause ] the bill passed with strong bipartisan support in the house and senate. wow. even the partisanship was bi. that's really great. [ laughter ] we are still learning more about what went on in the days leading up to the attack on our capitol on january 6th. and it's even crazier than the crazy we previously thought was so crazy. turns out the calls were coming from inside the house. and the senate. trump's chief of staff, mark meadows, reportedly texted with 34 republican lawmakers, exchanging ideas and suggestions for how they might be able to overturn the election. keep trump in office. the list includes all the usual suspects. ted cruz, marjorie taylor green, jim jordan, louie gohmert, like a gang of batman's dumbest enemies. [ laughter ] one of the more notable texts

that was released, meadows got a section from south carolina representative ralph norman. three days before biden took office, he texted, urging trump to impose martial law. "mark, in seeing what's happening so quickly, and reading about the dominion lawsuits attempting to stop any meaningful investigation, we are at a point of no return in saving our republic. our last hope is invoking martial law. please urge the president to do so." but instead of m-a-r-t-i-a-l, he spelled it "marshall." [ laughter ] like the chain of off-price discount department stores. [ laughter ] "and if marshall law doesn't work, we'll mobilize the tj maxx-inistas!" [ laughter ] [ applause ] thank god this coup wasn't planned by people who could solve the wordle. we'd all be in a lot of trouble right now. [ laughter ] this goes a long way toward explaining why these lowlifes have been so quiet about all this. it wasn't just trump. he had dozens of enablers. and a lot of them are still in congress. we have people who tried to overthrow the government in the government right now. and i continue to be blown away by how dumb they are. even "scooby doo" villains know

not to write it down. [ laughter ] speaking of villains, elon musk is no longer the richest man in the world. according to "forbes," his net worth is down $4.5 billion because tesla stock is down, and the great job he's doing turning twitter into truth social. [ laughter ] the new richest man in the world is the guy who owns louis vuitton. look at that. douchebag got beat out by a handbag. [ laughter ] isn't that something? [ applause ] over the weekend, elon musk did away with twitter's trust and safety council. he will be replacing it with the "everybody go nuts group." [ laughter ] which is a good idea. i think most people's big issue with twitter was that there was too much safety and trust. [ laughter ] we haven't seen someone this intelligent be this bad at his job since rick moranis shrunk those kids. [ laughter ] and then we have the masked singer, kanye west. who is still spinning out. [ laughter ] a lot of people have been wondering if he's really that anti-semitic or maybe he's having a lengthy bipolar episode.

well, kanye stopped to chat with a guy with a camera on sunday after church her he tried to explain his mindset. >> i am not bipolar, i am not in some kind of episode. but i may be slightly autistic. >> jimmy: i think that's pronounced "anti-semitic." [ laughter ] another fun fact, if he was autistic, the nazis would have killed him for that too. >> i am not a nazi, i'm not some kind of supremacist. but i man slightly kooky klutz klan. >> right, right. anything else you want to say? >> i'm not guy fieri. i'm not in some kind of driver or drive-in. but i may be slightly dumpy sauce. >> jimmy: that's the most sense he's made in years. [ laughter ] you know when somebody's nuts, you guys didn't know we dubbed that in. [ laughter ] you get all your christmas shopping done yet, guillermo?

>> guillermo: almost, i have two more. >> jimmy: what two? >> guillermo: my wife and my boss. >> jimmy: your wife and your boss. you don't have to get me anything. >> guillermo: oh, thank god. >> jimmy: your wife is your boss, let's be honest. >> guillermo: always. >> jimmy: you got her nothing? >> guillermo: not yet, not yet. >> jimmy: here's a tip for you, and those still looking for the perfect holiday gift. stop trying so hard. according to the national retail federation, most people would rather get a gift card than an actual gift. 54% of americans say they would prefer gift cards to any other gift. which is a nice way of saying that last year, 54% of us blew it. with the gift. [ laughter ] but with less than two weeks until christmas, and only four days until hanukkah -- >> diedle deedle diedle deedle. >> jimmy: what is that sound? >> shalom, shalom everyone! >> jimmy: oh, no. no, no. >> shalom! happy early chanukah! did you, and to you, and to you -- >> jimmy: it's even chanukah

yet. >> it's close enough. >> jimmy: shalom, gary, shalom. >> for the gazillionth time, my name is not gary. it's chanucorn! >> jimmy: oh, yeah. >> the magical chanukah unicorn that gives presents to jews! >> jimmy: please. i can't do this again. i'm sorry. this is one of our wriers, gary. he created this character, the chanucorn -- [ cheers and applause ] no, no, it's enough already. how many years you've been interrupting my monologue? >> this is the ninth year. which means next year will be a decade, mazel tov! [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: no months zell to have. there's not going to be a next year. there shouldn't have been a this year. >> oh, come on kanye. [ laughter ] admit it. you secretly love the chanucorn. >> jimmy: i do not. i wish you had never come up with this. >> you don't mean that. >> jimmy: i do mean it, i really do. i wish this chanucorn idea had never existed. >> oh-oh! [ thunder ] >> jimmy: what's going on? >> this is what you wanted! your terrible wish has been

granted! we are now in a world where the chanucorn never existed. >> jimmy: oh. okay, well good. [ laughter ] so anyway, these gift cards -- >> no, no, it's a bad thing! >> jimmy: what's it -- i agree to disagree, i was -- >> without the chanucorn, you'd lose viewers in a very key demographic. >> jimmy: who could possibly be tuning in for the chanucorn? >> my parents, that's who. neil and marlene greenberg. look at them, jimmy. they're so sad that their son can't get to pursue his dream. hi dad didn't even finish his soup! >> jimmy: yeah, that is sad. wait a minute, who's this? >> i'd like to introduce you to timothy. >> jimmy: hi timothy. why are you crying? >> because you killed him, jimmy. >> jimmy: i killed who? >> timothy. >> jimmy: i did not kill timothy. >> you did! six years ago, his parents were watching "jimmy kimmel live," and the chanucorn came on.

they didn't care for it. so they turned off the tv and they shtupped. [ laughter ] and the result was little timothy. but no chanucorn, timothy was never born. >> i was going to cure diabetes. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: oh! [ laughter and applause ] >> now do you want to live in a world without the chanucorn? >> jimmy: well. you know. diabetes can be manageable if you keep on top of it, really. [ laughter ] >> what about me, jimmy? if i hadn't invented the chanucorn, what would have happened to me? i would have invented a character far worse for the jewish holidays. >> jimmy: nothing could be worse than the chanucorn. >> oh really? take a look. >> jimmy: this holiday season, $178 billion on gifts -- >> hello, shalom! happy chanukah, everybody!

i'm edward circumcision hands, [ laughter ] here to turn everybody jewish! you get a bris! and you get a bris! every guy here gets a bris! every guy here gets a bris! >> jimmy: no! >> who's first? >> i went to prison for that circumcision! [ laughter ] they made me join a gang. now do you wish the chanucorn never existed? >> jimmy: yes. i still do. >> then how about you? >> jimmy: wait, what is that? that's my grave? >> here lies james christian kimmel. your middle name is christian? >> jimmy: yeah. >> figures. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: but why did i die? >> without the chanucorn, you had five extra minutes to fill. you did a cooking segment and choked to death on a chimichanga. >> jimmy: oh no.

what about guillermo? is he dead too? >> guillermo: no, jimmy. i am not a part of this bit. i am just drunk. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: thank goodness. but what about my family? what about my wife and my kids? >> oh, don't worry about them. >> jimmy: good. >> they are well taken care of. a real man stepped in and took charge. behold their holiday card. >> jimmy: they had a holiday card? [ laughter ] no. oh, no, no, no! this cannot be! [ applause ] i want my old life back! >> so you don't wish the chanucorn had never existed? >> jimmy: no, i don't. fine, you can do your chanucorn, just take me back to the way it was. >> thanks jimmelah! [ cheers and applause ] you've regained your sense of wonder. >> jimmy: wonderful. oh, i hear a bell ringing. >> you know what they say. every time a bell rings, a dog gets his dreidel.

>> jimmy: how are you? >> i'm great. >> jimmy: i was at the premier last night. >> that's what i hear. >> jimmy: in inn which you stood and up spoke very -- i was thinking, wow, this is impressive how beautifully you can speak about this project. >> really? >> jimmy: yeah. i was impressed by it. then i heard it was like -- it was a surprise, you didn't know you were going to speak. >> they let me know on the red carpet. our wonderful director, jim cameron, has gotten, after 13 years of work, he has covid and missed his big opening. >> jimmy: you know, it's funny. i was actually feeling -- i don't know him. i don't think i've ever met him. >> why. >> jimmy: but i was feeling bad for him. the whole -- all the work. >> i know. >> jimmy: the payoff is sitting in that theater with the audience. >> yeah. >> jimmy: and hearing them. this great movie, and it was a great -- it is a great movie. then he didn't get any of that. >> i hope he did. i hope he could hear the cheers and whoops from wherever he's

staying. >> jimmy: i hope he didn't. because i don't want to get covid from him. [ laughter ] you know, arnold schwarzenegger was sitting right in front of me. >> could you still see? >> jimmy: i could see, yeah, yeah. he's -- you know, we're about the same height. [ laughter ] but he was -- i don't know why that's funny, we are. [ laughter ] but he didn't get up to pee once in the 3:12, i'll tell you that. he was glued to that seat. with the 3d glasses on, he looked like the terminator. >> wow. [ laughter ] we like to think of it as 2:72. >> jimmy: you know, it's funny, that does give it a little spin, like when you charge $24.95 instead of $25. >> makes a big difference. >> jimmy: it did not feel long, it really didn't. >> so good. >> jimmy: you first worked with cameron on "alien," right? >> yeah. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: they say he is very particular. i think a perfectionist.

which is probably the nice way of putting it. >> well, you know, i think he is a perfectionist. i think -- i think a lot of people in this business are, though. but he does very, very difficult things, like this movie. >> jimmy: right, yeah. >> and gets it right, which takes 13 years. >> jimmy: yeah. it took five years to actually shoot this movie, right? this movie and the sequel? >> i think it took five years to shoot it and edit it. >> jimmy: gotcha. >> and add the digital magic that takes you to pandora. >> jimmy: and you are -- you're in the movie. and i don't -- how long were you -- it didn't take you five years to shoot this, right? >> no, i think i was -- i was on the movie for 18 months. >> jimmy: okay. so this is my question. how did -- what happened? [ laughter ] because i'm watching this movie and i'm just -- i don't know -- i don't know how much of it is

you and if that's really you and the navi, and they have these weird bodies, and we hear your voice but we don't know -- it's really not your face. >> well, it -- everything you see the actors do is exactly what we did. >> jimmy: really? >> we're in these little performance capture suits. it's actually the most actor-centric work you can do. because there's no makeup and costume or, you know, different cameras, different -- you know, you do several takes but all of the angles are then stored in this magic camera that jim cameron has so he can go back into the volume, which is a big, empty space where we are in our black suits. everything is imagination. and he can shoot any angle he wants of his favorite takes without you having to repeat it. >> jimmy: but yet it's then not you on screen. it's this creature that you're

playing. why do you have -- and you're jumping around and doing crazy -- you're telling me you really did that stuff? >> yes. i did -- i would say that i also had a stunt double. so if it was really crazy, he probably had her do it. >> jimmy: yes, okay. >> but everything you see my character do, i have done. >> jimmy: wow. that's crazy. >> yeah. >> jimmy: i think people will understand that it's crazy more when they see the movie. what about diving? what about, like, the act of being on those creatures and riding them and going into the water? >> we, you know -- we trained to free dive. then we did all that stuff. they also had really superb divers there. >> jimmy: yeah? >> to do some of -- i would say the faster stuff. but everything you see us do, we did, you know. and then they might have improved it or speeded it up with other divers. >> jimmy: is it crazy to sit there and watch that, knowing what you went through?

>> well, no, actually. i think we're in shock that we were able to do it. because it wasn't easy. but the good thing about jim is he doesn't ask you to do those crazy things without making sure you have the training to do it. >> jimmy: has he ever asked you to do something crazy that you said, no, i will not? >> yes. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: oh. >> yes. >> jimmy: and what is that? >> in the past when i was doing "aliens" with him, sometimes he would ask me to do things -- like once i had to be running around the active power station in the end when i have the flame thrower in one hand, i have the little girl in the other. the alien has taken the little girl. and it's woven her into this nest. so i find her. and we're at the nest. and poor little carrie han is inside the nest. and jim says, "so what you do is you come here and you rip apart this nest and you get her out." and i touch the nest. and i said, "what's this made

out of?" he said, "you know, it's just -- it's just sort of spun glass." and i said, "well, won't it cut me?" [ laughter ] and he goes, "of course it won't cut you, look." and he does this stuff with his hands. and he's fine. okay? then, action. i do it. and i'm bleeding. [ laughter ] like stigmata, you know? so i always say yes, but i always make sure -- >> jimmy: was there a baby inside? >> not a baby. >> jimmy: oh. >> a little girl. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah, but -- she's really in there? >> she is in there but she's protected. >> jimmy: okay, she's protected, just you were left unprotected. >> well, you know. i had rubber gloves. >> jimmy: he has a submarine. do you know anybody else who has a submarine? >> no, i guess he's the only one. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: he's probably the only one. have you ever taken a ride in that submarine? >> he has asked me to go. >> jimmy: he has? >> i said, "you don't want that." [ laughter ] >> jimmy: really? >> well, i don't want to go down to the bottom of the mariana trench. >> jimmy: why?

>> it's ten hours down. >> jimmy: oh, wow. is it really? >> you can't, like -- you have to be very quiet. i don't think i could do that. he wouldn't want me in there with him. i'd be like -- [ laughter ] >> jimmy: the that true, you have to be quiet? >> well -- well, who's he going to talk to? i don't think he has any experience at chatting with -- i guess he could chat to someone at the top. like i'm still alive. >> jimmy: it's a winn-person submarine? >> i think so. >> jimmy: oh, yeah, that's no fun at all, yeah. [ laughter ] >> he probably has a few other subs -- >> jimmy: i'm understanding why it took him 13 years to make this movie. [ laughter ] he's spending ten hours to go to the bottom of the ocean by himself. >> yeah, that took a few years. >> jimmy: yeah. >> he had to create this submersible to do that. he had to invent it. >> of course, why wouldn't you invent a submersible? we're going to come back. we'll see a clip from the movie. it's going to be -- it's the biggest movie of all-time.

>> jimmy: right, but it would have taken me so long to say that, i just said "animated," they knew exactly. [ laughter and applause ] >> i think that's why it's more an experience than a cartoon. >> jimmy: yes, it is definitely more an experience than a cartoon. >> even the water you see rushing all around you, that is all cgi, you know. >> jimmy: yeah. i couldn't help it. every once in a while, taking my 3d glasses off just to see what it looks like without the 3d. >> and? >> jimmy: it still looked pretty good. >> good. >> jimmy: yeah, yeah. okay, so you're playing -- the character you played in the original movie, dr. augustine. then you're playing this 14-year-old navi hybrid, yeah? i don't know what i can say, what i can't say. >> she's not sure either. but she is adopted. grace augustine seems to be her mother. but grace is not alive to tell us who the father is. and she's adopted by jake and

natiri to be one of the four, five children that they have. >> jimmy: were you surprised that they asked you to play the 14-year-old? >> well, i thought if he was crazy enough to ask me to do that, i might just be crazy enough to say yes. [ applause ] >> jimmy: when you were playing a teenager, i heard you went to school to study teenagers? >> yeah, i did visit laguardia high school a few times and just sit in on some classes, you know, of that age group. because it's such a wonderful age but there's so much going on. and there's all different levels of, you know, maturity. so in terms of the voice, which i wanted to hear the pitch, you have kids who still sound like kids and then kids who sound really grown up. >> jimmy: yeah, and some kids have half and half. how are you -- doing? [ laughter ] >> i wanted to just take in what my area was so i wan blend

with the obnoxious teenager that i was. >> jimmy: what did you make of sitting in a classroom full of these kids, i assume -- what, eighth grade, something like that? >> no, i think they were like -- they were all studying theater, so i think it was probably ninth and tenth grade. >> jimmy: i see. and was -- did you feel like it was so different from when you went to school? or was it basically the same? >> i think it was basically the same. except i didn't have some terrific theater class at my high school. >> jimmy: right. you just had the regular classes we all have. >> yes, exactly. >> jimmy: yeah. >> i think it's a -- laguardia's a performance school. >> jimmy: right, a famous performing arts school in new york. >> yeah. >> jimmy: were you -- when you were a teenager, you weren't involved in acting and doing that kind of stuff? >> not really. >> jimmy: were you a troublemaker as a child? >> no, but i'll tell you what. i was this tall when i was 11. >> jimmy: wow. >> so if there was trouble going on and i was near it, i would be the one that was caught.

because the teacher could see me. i was like this big spider over there laughing, whatever. then the real troublemakers would get away because they were smart. >> jimmy: yeah. and short. >> and short. >> jimmy: they say the best troublemakers scurry around practically unnoticed. >> the ring leaders. >> jimmy: well, the movie is fantastic. it's called "avatar: the way of water." it opens in theaters friday. get your 3d glasses on and go see it at the old-fashioned movies. sigourney weaver.

>> jimmy: hi, there, welcome back. music from dawes is on the way. our next guest is a talented actor you know from "the leftovers" and "watchmen." next, he plays the fictional jazz trumpeter sidney palmer alongside margot robbie and brad pitt in "babylon." it opens in theaters december 23rd. say hello to jovan adepo. [ cheers and applause ] ♪

>> jimmy: how are you? >> great, great. >> jimmy: been a long time, i haven't seen you in a while. >> it has. >> jimmy: been working, i guess? >> trying, trying. >> jimmy: this movie, for those who don't know, is about hollywood in the '20s and '30s. as i mentioned, you play a trumpet player. do you play the trumpet? >> yeah, but what is play a trumpet, though? it's more like an idea. i don't subscribe to -- no, i don't play the trumpet. >> jimmy: it's pretty specific, playing the trumpet. you put your lips on it, you hold the valves, then you buzz, right? >> yeah, you try to. maybe a good sound comes out or maybe it doesn't. >> jimmy: did you tell them you played the trumpet before the movie? >> i did. [ laughter ] i did something i wouldn't condone any actor doing whether beginner or veteran is lying on your resume. >> jimmy: every actor lies on their resume, then they call it acting afterwards.

[ laughter ] >> right. >> jimmy: ow on the resume -- they read your resume? >> they asked. "does he play the trumpet?" my reps called and asked, "of course, i've been playing since middle school." the truth is i played briefly in middle school then quit once it got difficult. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: kind of true, then, i guess. >> just a little bit. >> jimmy: how long did you play in middle school? >> i think like two weeks. [ laughter and applause ] >> jimmy: you were in the band for two weeks? >> i was in the band for, like, two weeks. you start off playing "mary had a little lamb." "twinkle twinkle little star." once you actually start playing complex songs, "i feel like sorts is my route." [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah, you're either going to be on the field marching with the band or playing with the team. and trust me, when it comes to dating, you're probably better off playing with the team. [ laughter ] yes, i was playing the clarinet in the band, so i know that for a fact. okay -- oh, thank you. [ applause ] they always have that ready. >> handsome, man.

>> jimmy: it's one thing we're right on with here at this show, you know? so often i have to wait, but never for that. >> yeah. >> jimmy: okay, so you fake play -- it looked like you were playing the trumpet. you did a good job of pretending you played the trumpet. >> appreciate it, yeah. >> jimmy: you're playing the trumpet. near the beginning of the movie there's this scene. >> right. >> jimmy: it's a big party, and it's an incredible movie scene. there's this huge -- how many people would you say are in this scene? >> it has to be close to 200, 300. >> jimmy: something like that. at least 100 of those people are naked, right? >> absolutely. >> jimmy: sex going on. >> everywhere. >> jimmy: naked, nudity, everything. you're in the middle playing the trumpet. was that -- i mean, was that as chaotic as it seems like it was? >> i mean -- it was a crazy party. we filmed that scene for about 12 days. [ laughter ] right, sounds cool, a 12-day party. >> jimmy: yeah. >> but i mean, i've been in a lot of different cool projects, i'm kind of used to what is

called for in a scene. but the funniest thing was some of the guys you see me playing with on the band, they're actual musicians. >> jimmy: right. >> they didn't the script, they didn't know what was going on other than the music they were supposed to be playing. i remember how shocked they were to see all the nudity and the sex going on. one older guy playing the trombone, he didn't speak at all, while we were filming. i remember looking at him when they called action and the robes drop and everything. he's like -- breasts! [ laughter ] i guess it -- and he goes back, he starts warming up his trombone. >> jimmy: trombonists are very literal people, yes. breasts! that's pretty great. it's also funny you say 11 days it took to shoot that scene. it's a weird -- you know, to see somebody naked for a little while. but to see that same person every day for two weeks. are you, like, having lunch naked? how does it work? >> i mean -- i don't think -- yeah. none of that.

they definitely kept the robes on. >> jimmy: no naked lunch? >> as much as they could. >> jimmy: there are a lot of big stars in this movie. i mentioned brarptd and margot robbie. did you form -- did you bond with anyone in particular? >> all of them. we really got along -- all the main cast got along really well. my first day on set with brad and flea from -- >> jimmy: from the red hot chili peppers? >> yes. fantastic in the film, fantastic. [ applause ] >> jimmy: he's super used to people being naked. in fact, he's a musician, no problem being -- >> right, right. but the three of us, we bonded over motorcycles. we love riding harley-davidsons. >> jimmy: yeah, you like to ride motorcycles, yeah. >> right? we had a trip kind of planned. it was a tentative thing. i asked brad, you ride? we should ride. he was like, hell, yeah, get flea to organize it. it never happened because everyone's with. >> jimmy: can i suggest maybe the part where it went wrong is "get flea to organize it." [ laughter ] >> absolutely. >> jimmy: don't get flea to

organize it. >> absolutely. to be fair, he was getting ready to go on a tour, i feel they should have left the planning up to me. i'd have done it. it would have been so bad-ass for sure. >> jimmy: that's still a possibility? >> of course. yeah. >> jimmy: when you go on a motorcycle trip with guys, like you're not talking when you're riding, right? >> not really. >> jimmy: you're just quiet. >> yeah. >> jimmy: almost like being in that submarine with jim cameron. [ laughter ] >> i mean -- yeah. >> jimmy: yeah, i guess -- that's an analogy that no one understands. [ laughter ] when you get on the harley, do you feel like a different person? >> yeah, i feel like everyone who gets on a harley and actually can master that type of a bike, you want to feel tough. there was an incident, to bring it back to me and brad and flea going on a ride, i wanted to get back on a bike again. whenever you take time off, you've got to get back on it to refamiliarize yourself with it. i wanted to take it to wine country. i took my bike, a big bike with a sound system and all of that. i'm in stop-and-go traffic on the highway. i see a biker gang coming behind

us. this is stop-and-go traffic. i'm sitting in my spot, holding it. i don't want to say what the biker club is. for my own safety. [ laughter ] but they were coming up. and i was like, this is the best opportunity to look cool because i already had my son's anarchy skullcap helmet, my jewelry on, my shades. i'm like, okay, ready. siri, play "bad ass biker boys traxx." siri's like, "biker bad ass tracks, is that correct?" "correct." the bikers are coming up. sometimes you get rogue songs you don't remember adding. you hear the bikers coming up. they pull up. then out of nowhere, anne murray starts playing. [ laughter ] you can imagine. a bunch of -- >> jimmy: anne murray? >> yeah. imagine a bunch of tough guys coming in and i'm just ready, [ bleep ] yeah, let's do it. and you hear -- ♪ i know i'll never have this

love again ♪ i'm like, you've got to own it. i look to the left. yeah. the biker's like -- [ laughter ] to the right, a guy with his volvo and his family, he looks at me like -- [ laughter ] [ applause ] >> jimmy: you were straddling a line there. >> i tried to. >> jimmy: i don't know, i'm going to tell you, if i was in a biker gang and i pulled up next to a guy who was so secure he was listening to anne murray on his harley? i'd be scared. [ laughter ] >> should be, you should be. >> jimmy: watch out. >> he's on the road listening to anne murray, "snowbird" will be next. >> jimmy: you know a lot about anne murray, i never guessed. you go deep. the movie is called "babylon." it opens in theaters on december 23rd. thanks for being here. jovan adepo, everybody.
