>> lou: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live"! tonight, kevin bacon, paul mescal, and music from kali uchis with cleto and the cletones. and now, jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: hi, welcome, welcome. oh, that's very nice. stop it. thank you. welcome to the show. i'm jimmy, i'm the host. thanks for watching, thanks for coming. thanks for joining us here in hollywood, where we had our first beautiful day in quite

some time. spring is around the corner. easter is a month away, and if you're looking to mix things up with the kids this year, if you're looking to do better than a basket full of plastic and grass, you might want to get an order in for one of these. the "tomb and rock rollaway stand up." [ laughter ] you can re-enact the resurrection in lovingly-crafted cardboard, for only $49.98. [ laughter ] i guess people buy this because there are 72 reviews. "great prop. i was disappointed when i saw the size of the box but impressed when it unfolded into a solid cardboard tomb." [ laughter ] "with a rollaway rock and a real opening into the tomb." kids love tombs! this is the second one i've ordered. this one is for church the other i've used at home for years." "it is beautiful! i have been using one for years." and "it was a huge success at my sons 7th birthday swimming arty!!"h birthday swimming [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] that's some theme.

all the kids came out baptized! it was incredible. [ laughter ] in washington, the fascist and the furious have gathered to praise their lord and savior, donald trump, at the annual cpac convention. this is a convention for all your worst aunts and uncles. mar-a-loudo is performing on saturday night. "i will be at cpac on saturday, talking about the fact that,obviously, our country is going to 'hell,' and how to fix it." or at least the first part. the tandalorian was very fired up today. he wrote -- "they're not coming for me, they're coming for you, i'm just in their way." no, they're coming for you. [ laughter ] when you get arrested? none of the rest of us are going to prison with you. you're going to be in there begging for hairspray alone. [ laughter ] this cpac event is hard to explain. every low-rent radio host and podcast racist with a dye job and a fleece vest shows up to try to out-crazy each other. remember the first seasons of "american idol" when the losers

would just line up and be mowed down by simon cowell? it's like that but without simon cowell. instead, you get people like senator john kennedy of louisiana who delighted the crowd with a series of homespun zingers so hilarious, he's taking his act on the road. >> tucks medicated pads presents senator john kennedy as you've always seen him before. the most hilarious, side-splitting louisiana government official of all-time. >> if you put president biden in charge of this sahara desert, he would run out of sand. >> senator kennedy takes no prisoners. >> kale tastes like i'd rather be fat. >> he isn't afraid to tell the truth. >> the truth is that to a bear, we all taste like chicken. >> bring the whole family to hear what the new orleans times picayune called "the folksy ramblings of a doddering old woman. >> how do you sleep at night

knowing that some people don't like you this ? and i tell them, with the fan on. >> from livdry overnight diapers for adults, the comedy event of the year, john f. kennedy. the "f" is for funny. >> we are going to have to get some new conspiracy theories. because all the old ones came true. >> safe step walk-in tubs present the senator john kennedy comedy tour, coming to a cracker barrel near you. >> i really like dogs. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: oh. thank you. that's what makes him special. tomorrow at cpac, donny kong junior takes the stage. [ laughter ] djtj has been lashing out at any republican who dares challenge daddy. including former speaker of the house, paul ryan, who found himself on the bad breath side of don jr.'s wrath.

>> paul reyan will not be attending the republican national convention if trump is the nominee and no one gives a crap. literally no one. this guy is the guy on the -- [ laughter ] explains a lot about the direction and some of the content out there, folks. this explains to me almost everything, frankly. i know i haven't been invaded -- [ laughter and applause. >> jimmy: he looks great. whatever he's doing is working. meanwhile, mike pence not only is the former vice poodle skipping cpac this year, he appears to be distancing himself even further from his former boss. >> the former president, if he is the nominee, would you support him? >> i think we'll have better choices. and i really trust republican voters. >> that's not a yes. in terms of supporting trump if he's running? >> i'm very confident we'll have better choices. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: so "no." has anyone dodged more questions than mike pence? [ laughter ] i want to point out, this man

was donald trump's vice president, and he wouldn't vote for him. do you realize how unusual that is? it's like if macaroni said good-bye to cheese. [ laughter ] the white house today unveiled president biden's new cyber security plan. and while you might think letting joe biden spearhead cybersecurity makes about as much sense as asking grandpa to set up your xbox, he's not kidding around, he's going all-in. >> i'm joe biden, and i approve this message. howdy, kemo sabe! this is president joey baloney. some of the younger bucks around here have been telling me we got to beef up our security against the cyborgs. it's no joke, man. cyborgs and computers can be scary as all heck. when i was growing up, if a machine was causing trouble, you just found a crescent wrench and gave it a good whack. that gizmo would be humming again in no time. now the chinese are peering into yo your tricky tocks.

don't click them links, man, they're bad news. that's how cyborgs get into your youtubes. fire up the old ibm, type "white house period go v sideline" and something else. holy cow, i'm a cow! jill, help, get hunter jr. in here! [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: well, we're in good hooves. things are not going swimmingly for fture former congressman george santos. the house ethics committee today launched an official investigation into whether he broke the law. santos' office said he's "fully cooperating" with the investigation, which means he probably fled the country. [ laughter ] he's in guatemala right now. the investigation comes as rumors continue to swirl about the identity of his new campaign treasurer, andrew olsen. nobody seems to know where or who andrew olson is.

he hasn't responded to any attempts to contact him, the address provided for him belongs to an apartment building that santos shared with his sister, she's moved. nobody who lives there seems to have heard of him. which is incredible. i mean, seriously. what if after all that, with the attention of the whole country on george santos, he went ahead and made up a fake person to be his campaign treasurer? [ laughter ] i mean, oh, i'll say andrew olson, he lives at my sister's place. [ laughter ] i have to hand it to him. it's pathological on a level none of us have experienced before. [ laughter ] it's like if i came out here and told you i was a labradoodle. [ laughter ] you're like, "i'm not a labradoodle." and i was like, "woof." [ laughter ] and i kept barking until you gave me a treat. so now, a bipartisan group is investigating. in the entire history of the house of representatives, only five members have ever been expelled. three for supporting the

confederate rebellion in 1861. back then they used to expel you for supporting an insurrection. [ laughter ] two who were convicted of bribery. but still, a lot of people think george santos is done. i don't know. i mean, the guy survived storming the beach at normandy, he can probably survive this. [ laughter ] marjorie taylor greene is not on the house ethics committee, she doesn't have any. [ laughter ] but she's been making the rounds of the right wing media to complain over and over and over again that she got heckled at dinner the other night, and also to continue her call for what she says is a "national divorce." >> you've seen me over the past week or so calling for a national divorce, because i really believe if we have states, red states and blue states, you know what, they can abolish their police, they can transition their children no matter how much i disagree with it, and they can have their wide-open borders, and we can secure our borders. we can protect our children. we can support our police officers.

and we can be left alone, because we're fed up with these people. we're sick and tired of them. >> jimmy: you know, marge and her husband just got divorced, now she thinks the whole country should split up too. [ laughter and applause ] how would that work, exactly? seriously, would alabama go move into an apartment? [ laughter ] i really want to know how she sees this divorce working. would we share custody of mississippi? [ laughter ] i think we should take her up on it, let her figure it out. [ laughter ] this is something. according to the u.s. patent office, ford, the automaker, considered building self-driving cars that can repossess themselves. about two years ago they filed a patent to lay out a desin for vehicles that could drive themselves back to the dealership if the customer doesn't pay his bill. [ laughter ] can you imagine getting evicted from your condo, you go outside and see your f-150 leaving you too? [ laughter ] [ applause ] it would make for some very weird country songs. that wasn't it, either.

ford proposed a variety of punishments for car owners who are late on their payments, including a vehicle that could disable its own air conditioning and take full control of the car. basically, every time you drive will be like being in a "saw" movie. [ laughter ] "you wanna use the brakes? venmo 50 bucks or you're goin' down a hill!" [ laughter ] obviously, customers got nervous when they heard it, so ford put out a statement making it clear that they're not going through with the plan. even though if they did, it's not all bad. your car could also, when you get high, go to taco bell and get you a garbage bag full of chalupas. [ laughter ] [ applause ] today, in case you didn't know is national read across america day. it was founded by the national education association back in 1998 to encourage reading. it's march 2nd, national reading day. it's also bonn jovi's birthday. [ cheers ] i think we know which one we're more likely to celebrate. since today is a special day of books, we ventured out onto hollywood boulevard to ask

pedestrians, what was the last book you read? and the results are terrifying. >> it's national read across america day. what's the last book you read? >> oh, dear. honestly, i haven't read a book. >> the last book i read -- i actually don't remember. >> what was the last book you read? >> oh, good lord. um -- if it's not on the phone -- gosh. >> the last book i read, wow. i don't even remember it. like, it probably -- "to kill a mockingbird" pops in my head. >> what happened in that book? >> yeah. [ laughter ] >> it's probably from high school. what book did i read? that's embarrassing. [ laughter ] >> what's the last thing you read? >> i don't know. this is bad. i'm sorry. [ laughter ] >> what's the last book i read? i don't read books.

>> can you name a book? >> uh -- not on top of it's been so long. >> we'll wait. >> um -- [ laughter ] i can't remember. >> it's been a while but i've read, like, the first two books of the harry potter. >> why'd you stop at book two this. >> well, it just -- the world's so fast, man. you get caught in something so quick, you know what i'm saying? you're reading a book, can't stay there the whole time. just got did go do something else, come back to it. that's what i think. >> don't you wonder what happens to harry? >> i seen the movies. [ laughter ] >> last book i read? the last american book? "the history." >> say it again? >> "the history." >> what happened in that book? >> the community, the -- the world. >> and who wrote that took? book?

>> america. [ laughter ] >> new from random house, "the history: the community, the world." written by america. available at walgreens. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: i'm going to pick that up. we've got a good show tonight. one of the best actor nominees at the oscars, paul mescal, is here. [ cheers and applause ] we have music from the kali uchis. and be right back with the one and only kevin bacon, so stick around!

[ cheers and applause ] then later, she is a grammy award-winner. her album "red moon in venus" rights tomorrow. kali uchis from the mercedes-benz stage. [ cheers and applause ] nearly 40 years ago, our first guest cut loose, he kicked off his sunday shoes. now he's in a new movie directed with his multi-talented wife. it's called "space oddity." it opens in theaters and vod march 31st. please say hello to kevin bacon! [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> how's it going? >> jimmy: how is your multi-talented wife, kyra sedgwick? is she doing well?

>> she's still multi-talented rfsh she's excellent. she's home multi-talentedly making me dinner. >> jimmy: what's she making for dinner tonight, do you know? >> i don't -- i can't remember. i think it might be vegan bolognaisse. >> jimmy: take my mother home. my mother's a vegan now. >> i know, i heard. >> jimmy: how long have you been married? >> we've been married -- this year it will be 35 years. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: that's a lot of years. that's good. >> that's a lot of years. yep. >> jimmy: it's weird when people clap for that, right? >> it is weird. >> jimmy: they're clapping because they're happy for you? >> yeah, i'm not really sure what that -- i mean, but people feel a tremendous amount of excitement. and everybody wants to ask us about the secret, which is something that i absolutely refuse to answer. >> jimmy: oh, but do you know what it is? >> no. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: you don't, okay, yeah. >> i don't. i tell

marriage, let's face it, it doesn't work. [ laughter ] how many people stay married? nobody. >> jimmy: marriage -- especially actors getting married, it's like having a goldfish. you're lucky if it goes three years, right? [ laughter ] >> listen, okay. if i was to give some advice, i would say the one thing you don't want to do is take a celebrity's advice on how to stay married. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: okay, that's good. all right. it's kind of a cop-out but it's good. >> yeah. >> jimmy: you guys -- how old were you when you had kids? because that's when you're really married. >> we got pregnant on the honeymoon. >> jimmy: oh, wow. >> and she was, i guess, 23? and i was 30. so when we had our son, trav, we were here in l.a. we live on the east coast, but he had to be born in l.a. because i was finishing up a movie called "tremors." >> jimmy: oh, yeah. [ cheers and applause ] >> had underground worms. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: kind what was a baby is, really, if you think about it. [ laughter ]

>> you're right. you're right, and i had some dreams to that effect. [ laughter ] and we didn't know anything, man. >> jimmy: yeah, right. >> nothing about raising a kid. we didn't know what we were doing. i mean, when i look at the videos, i felt like we really were children ourselves. >> jimmy: yeah. >> you know, we were staying at a hotel. it was the chateau marmont here in l.a., which at that time was one of the few hotels that would allow us to bring the dog. we had this giant dog, jane, with us. and we had rented a car. and -- i don't know, i was scattered. i wasn't really thinking. pulled up to the valet at the hotel. jumped out of the car. slammed the door. car's still running. keys in the car. windows up. baby still in the car. >> jimmy: oh, boy. >> and -- and my little guy was i think 4 days old at the time. >> jimmy: oh, wow. >> so to say i lost my [ bleep ] would be the understatement. >> jimmy: yeah. >> and back in those days, i'm sure nobody here is old enough to remember this, but there used

to be these little triangular windows that were in certain cars that you would roll open to get a little bit of a draft. >> jimmy: yeah. >> i don't -- it was a design that made no sense at all. >> jimmy: yeah. >> why not just roll the window down? this was a thing. this amazing, heroic dude, it took him literally three seconds. he wrapped a towel around his fist, bam! right through that window. >> jimmy: who was the guy? >> he was the valet at the chateau marmont. >> jimmy: wow. punched through the window? >> punched through it, took it right out. i was like, wow, that's some superhero stuff right there. reached inside, bam. it lil really -- five seconds. >> jimmy: wow. >> probably wasn't the first jackass that did that, i'm thinking, right? >> jimmy: i don't know, i never heard of that behalf. [ laughter ] so maybe. but that is very quick thinking. how do you reward somebody for saving your childlike that? edible arrangement? [ laughter ] >> listen, you know -- to tell

you the truth, i went back many, many years, and he was there. and i said, "do you remember this?" and he said, "yeah." you know, we laughed about it and stuff. but, i mean -- i would like to think i tipped him well. >> jimmy: but you don't remember? >> yeah. >> jimmy: you should have just given him the car. [ laughter ] i learned something -- >> it was rented. >> jimmy: -- about you today that i cannot get over. and i just -- it can't possibly be true. >> what? >> jimmy: that you were, when you were a kid in a band called footloose? >> that's true. no, that is true. >> jimmy: how far before the movie "footloose"? >> okay, we're going back to, like, philly where i grew up. and i was probably about 15, i think. so i can't really do the math. "footloose," i was in my 20s when i made it. there was a band, i was playing in various bands at that point. i was playing percussion. and there was a singer whose name was chet brown. he was a soul singer. and he was probably -- i thought of him as, like, an old guy, but

he was probably 18 or something. >> jimmy: right. >> and i was in the backup band. and the name of the band was chet brown and footloose. and then he changed his name to jet brown and footloose. and he was great. was a great singer. and, you know, there was another guy that played in the band, a guy named steve. and i -- and he was a guy that archived everything, you know what i mean? >> jimmy: yeah. >> always kept the old tapes and stuff like that. and i said to him one time, i ran into him, "yeah, you know, remember when i used to play, wasn't that weird that i was playing in footloose?" he goes," you didn't play in footloose, you were in the band lonely at the top, you were never in footloose." and i said, "swear to god i was, plus it's a great story and i want to tell it kimmel." [ laughter ] "i want to make it look like he just brought it up, and i didn't think he was going to bring it up." >> jimmy: right. >> he said, "listen, i'm going to check the archives." and he got back to me. >> jimmy: the archiver.

>> yes. he said, "yes, i found a tape, and sure enough, you were listed as one of the players in footloose." >> jimmy: that's so crazy. [ applause ] now we go "footloose," whatever. but back then it was like, footloose and fancy free, that was the only time you heard footloose. >> exactly, i know, it's weird. >> jimmy: that is very weird, almost like it was destiny in some ways. now here you are in a movie directed by your wife which we're going to take a look at when we come back. the movie is called "space oddity." we'll be right back with kevin bacon. >> lou: portions of "jimmy kimmel live" are brought to you by number 7 skincare - the uk's best kept beauty secret. discover it at walgreens today. so, you found the no7 then... it's amazing! hydrates better than the expensive stuff i don't live here, so i'm taking this and whatever's in the back. it's already sold in the us. but i'm not taking any chances. the uk's #1 skincare has crossed the pond.

but this was, to drive a tractor, cut some nowers. where were we, rhode island. a beautiful flower farm in rhode island kyra found. we shot the movie. it was great. she's a great director. >> jimmy: i thought it was funny, she said that you were not her first choice for the role? [ laughter ] >> what? no, i don't know that. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: you really don't know it? >> no. where's my phone? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: i actually have a quote right here. "i didn't offer my husband the part of the father at first. the actor who was supposed to do it fell out and i was like, hey, is there any world where you might consider doing this? kevin was like, i've been waiting for you to ask me." >> is that for real? >> jimmy: yeah, that's for real. >> who's the actor? >> jimmy: did you really not know there was another actor? >> no, but in that one i knew who it was. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: maybe you weren't her first choice for husband either.

[ laughter and applause. >> i'll start to question everything. i don't think i was. >> jimmy: it's going to be a very tense vegan bolognese tonight. [ laughter ] the title of the movie, "space oddity," obviously after the david bowie song. >> yeah. >> jimmy: great song. i played that song for my daughter, who's 8 years old, about three weeks ago. "you have to hear this song." we laid in the bedroom in the dark and listened to it, it's great. >> there's a wonderful brandy carlisle cover of "space oddity" in the movie. just kills it. >> that's great. she's fantastic. >> yeah. love bowie. when i saw the name of the movie i thought, this is a -- it's so -- such a great name for what's going on in this film. also, i have a lot of fondness for david bowie musically, but also a really interesting thing happened. when i was directing a movie that kyra was producing called

"loverboy," a tiny little movie, we made it for just over $1 million -- >> jimmy: what year was this? >> probably about -- i'm so bad with years. maybe in the early 2000s. something. my daughter, soci, who's an actress, was about 10 years old at the time. this was the first gig she ever got. i asked her to play kyra as a little girl in flashback. and in the scene, this kind of awkward little girl is supposed to perform something for her school. she decides to start singing "life on mars" which is an incredible david bowie song, a capella to her school group. everybody's like, this is so weird, this girl's so weird. soci's exciting the hell out of it. it was in the script and i knew this movie of this size, trying to get the licensing for that song was going to be completely impossible. so i said to the writer, we can't shoot the david bowie song, we'll never get it. and she refused to take it out

of the movie. cut to, i'm at a party and david bowie is there. and i don't -- i don't, like -- actor, shmactor, i can meet any actor, it's not a big deal. when i meet my rock gods, i really -- i pee my pants. [ laughter ] it can be very overwhelming in a weird way. >> jimmy: yeah. >> but he was very nice and he struck up a conversation with me. and he said, "you know what? i watched a lot of your movies to learn how to do an american accent." >> jimmy: come on. >> yeah. >> jimmy: really? >> yes. yeah, and my jaw just dropped. if you can imagine. >> jimmy: wow. >> you can imagine. i was like -- bow woe! [ laughter ] so i said, listen. you know, "since i have you here." [ laughter ] "someday there may be a request coming across your desk, we're hoping to make this tiny little movie and there's a scene in it where a little girl is going to

sing life on mars a capella. so if that does happen to fall into your lap, can you please show pity on us and give us a break on the cost?" and we got it for a song. >> jimmy: wow, you got a song for a song. [ applause ] how about that. >> i don't know, i don't know if not -- anything to do with it o- >> jimmy: of course he had something to do with it. >> it was a great scene in the movie. >> jimmy: yeah, well, that's pretty great, that's fantastic. it's great to see you, thanks for coming. >> thanks for having me. >> jimmy: the movie's called "space oddity." it opens in theaters and video on demand starting march 31st. kevin bacon, everybody.
