>> lou: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live"! tonight, anthony mackie, chris distefano, and music from gracie abrams. with cleto and the cletones. and now, jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: thank you very much. welcome, thank you. hi, everybody. stop it, it's too much. i'm jimmy. thanks for watching. thanks for braving the elements to be here. wow, you guys must be from out of town. [ laughter ] you must be from strong places.

we saw weather today we don't see here. we got hit with rain, hail, and even a light dusting of snow in southern california, in hollywood. it even had the audacity to snow on the hollywood sign. [ laughter ] and of course, everybody's complaining about how -- this is a great example of how different l.a. is from other places. the earth itself moves in the middle of the night and we don't even get out of bed, but a tiny bit of snow? we will not leave the house, we're scared. [ laughter ] you okay, guillermo? >> guillermo: it's freaking cold, jimmy. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: when is the last time you saw snow here? >> guillermo: oh, wow. a long time ago. >> jimmy: and he's an actual snowman. [ laughter ] >> guillermo: yeah, long time ago, yeah. >> jimmy: by the way, compared to the rest of the country, we have it very easy. in michigan, hundreds of thousands of homes are without power. there's a huge snow and ice storm there, which came as surprisingly good news to an announcer at a high school basketball game in hamilton, michigan.

>> 57-45! hawkeyes take it home. lusk makes his way over to the student section. and lusk calls the snow day! breaking news! lusk just calls a snow day right here at the student section! oh my goodness! whoo! no school for me tomorrow! [ laughter ] [ applause ] >> jimmy: that kid really hates school. i mean, it's funny, but that's a red flag. [ laughter ] they need to do something about that. the department of defense has finally released an image, a photograph of that chinese spy balloon the military shot down a couple of weeks ago. look at this thing. it's a lot more elaborate than i assumed. i thought it was just a balloon. i didn't know it was a balloon carrying the hubble space telescope. [ laughter ] it's huge. if it wasn't a spy balloon, somewhere there's a 300-foot-tall chinese toddler

crying his eyes out. [ laughter ] look at that again. it's a selfie taken by the pilot on a u-2 plane. we've got billion-dollar satellites up there, the only picture we got of this thing is from some dude's iphone? [ laughter ] are pilots supposed to be taking selfies while they fly a plane? and if you're wondering how the pentagon knew the balloon came from china, turns out they forgot to take off the sticker. [ laughter and applause ] even our ufos are made in china! meanwhile, this investigation into trump and his efforts to steal the election in georgia is ballooning. i mentioned this last night, the foreperson of the special grand jury made the rounds on cable news channels. her name is emily kohrs, and she's quite a character. >> i thought it would be really cool of 60 seconds of trump, me looking at him, "do you solemnly swear." me getting to swear him in. i kind of thought that would be an awesome moment. >> jimmy: yeah, for sure it would be awesome.

it gave trump and his lawyers an opportunity to claim her doing interviews has poisoned the process. they're real sticklers for the rules at team trump. [ laughter ] there was a good deal of backlash against this woman. as a result, most of her social media accounts have been deleted with the exception of her pinterest page, those never go away. [ laughter ] like hpv. and her pinterest includes several collections of pins dedicated to wicca and witchcraft. [ laughter ] so now when he calls it a witch hunt, he can blame it on an actual witch. [ laughter ] from a legal standpoint, the judge in the case said emily didn't do anything wrong. the only thing she's not allowed to discuss are deliberations she had with the grand jurors while they were alone, which she didn't do. apparently she's allowed to talk about anything else, including the final report. so probably the most that will happen is that trump's lawyers will have an extra opportunity to file nuisance objections and delay, which is basically trump's strategy for everything. he's almost 80. if he can keep delaying long enough, he'll get the ultimate get out of jail free card. [ laughter ]

and while we wait for the other shoe to drop in georgia, we got an update on the investigation into the january 6th insurrection. special counsel issued a subpoena for ivanka trump and her husband, jared kushner. which i don't know, what's the point of subpoenaing ivanka? you know she's just going to plead the saks fifth. [ laughter ] "is donald trump your father?" "i do not recall." [ laughter ] and jared. serving jared raises some important and interesting legal questions like, can you subpoena a mannequin? [ laughter ] meanwhile, daddy donald has been trying to exploit the poisonous situation in east palestine, ohio, for political gain. trump went there yesterday to drop off crates of trump water. [ laughter ] not a joke. trump ice, crates of them. also lash out at president biden, his response to the toxic train wreck. trump told locals the biden administration showed "indifference" and "betrayal" but turns out, and you're not going to believe this, there's more to the story. [ laughter ] trump claimed he was there to help. so when secretary of

transportation pete buttigieg showed up today, he was asked how he might be able to help. >> one thing he could do is express support for reversing the deregulation that happened on his watch. i heard him say he had nothing to do with it, even though it was in his administration. so if he had nothing to do with it and they did it in his administration against his will, maybe he could come out and say that he supports us moving in a different direction. >> jimmy: i'm sure he'll do that. that sounds like him, right? [ laughter ] what buttigieg is referring to is during the trump administration, the republican-led congress eliminated rail safety measures that could have prevented an accident like this. even his foxy friends indicated that the trump administration was to blame. >> speaking of the white house, apparently regulations regarding train safety were changed during the trump administration. this particular railroad and others lobbied president trump to dismantle an obama-era rule, but ultimately the trump

administration undid that and said the cost exceeded the benefits. >> jimmy: trump said the same thing about buying eric swimming lessons. [ laughter ] but even though his own sycophants are pointing fingers, trump says he had nothing to do with it at all. >> what do you make of biden or buttigieg's criticism of you pulling back rail regulations? >> no, i had nothing to do with it, i had nothing to do -- no, he's got to work on the airports, we've never had airports like this, we're like a third world nation. >> jimmy: when do you think the last time he went to an airport was? [ laughter ] 19, i don't know, 1979? last time he went to an airport, the stewardesses were smoking while they worked. [ laughter ] so now dummy, who could have stayed out of the whole thing, is being held responsible, for making safety last. fortunately for him, he's got an ardent defender, in one donald j. junior. >> pete buttigieg is taking personal time. 19 days isn't enough time. plus the time he spent chest feeding while we were in the midst of a supply chain crisis

and 350 million americans were depending on him to do his damn job. but there is no accountability. there's not even expectation of these guys doing their jobs. >> jimmy: and what is your job, exactly? [ laughter ] i mean, seriously. besides yelling at your laptop, what is it that you do for a living? what do you write on your tax return? "son"? [ laughter ] donald trump junior is the only guy in america who claims himself as a dependent. [ laughter ] [ applause ] fox news, by the way, they're not having a great week. over the weekend, very damning text messages were released, between some of their on-air hosts that revealed, in print, that they knew they were lying to their viewers about trump's imaginary election fraud. and whenever they get cornered, they turn to an old friend to distract artificial outrage. first it was the green m&m, then it was gender neutral mr. potato head, and now, the latest threat

to to america is disabled-friendly legos. >> lego is going woke. the company unveiling a range of new characters in the effort to be more inclusive. lego says the new characters will promote diversity and understanding, some will have anxiety issues, i don't know how you show that. one will have a missing limb, another down syndrome. these are really important issues. >> yeah. >> do you want lego in there? >> definitely not. but what's so fascinating about this story is the divide in the country. republicans think it's insane that they're forcing identity politics into legos. democrats are upset they didn't make a drag queen stripper. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah, i have to admit i am pretty bummed about that. [ laughter ] i was thinking about organizing a march to protest. why anybody would be upset about a lego that represents people missing a leg, i have no -- they're called legos. not legs-os. [ laughter ] and i also find it interesting that fox news directs so much anger at legos considering the fact that most of them have lego haircuts. [ laughter ] but that's how it goes.

and guys, here's an idea. instead of constantly bitching about these products, make your own things. nobody's stopping you. make you own homophobic potato dudes or your angry white guy breakfast cereals, little plastic bricks to build a wall around a sombrero, do whatever you want. [ laughter ] i have some fox news for you, you're embarrassing yourselves. >> disney is going woke. >> our health care system is going woke. >> investments going woke. >> the famed french cathedral going woke. >> microsoft word is the next one to go woke. >> one of america's favorite candies is going woke. >> victoria's secret is going full woke. >> u.s. census bureau, apparently it's going woke too. >> pizza hut has gone woke. >> walmart is going woke. >> the nfl is going woke. >> baseball is going woke. >> the national hockey league has apparently gone woke. >> cambridge dictionary, they're going woke. >> google going woke. >> a.i. programs have gone woke. >> the army is going woke. >> my little pony is going woke.

>> captain america going woke. >> minnie mouse is going woke. >> wordle is going woke. >> video games going woke. >> woke media. >> woke agenda. ti >> woke prosecutors. >> woke pentagon. >> woke religion. >> woke apocalypse. >> guess who's going woke? the muppets. >> jimmy: oh, not kermit too. [ laughter and applause ] they're right, things are a mess. speaking of embarrassing, george santos. [ laughter ] just when you thought it couldn't get worse than stealing puppies from the amish, we find out, oh yes, it can! according to vice news, misrepresentative santos also lied about helping sick children. on his campaign website, santos claimed he and his family had "engaged in helping children with eb," which is a rare genetic disorder. but there is no record of george santos or anyone associated with him ever doing anything for children with eb. apparently, it was part of his work with the fake-a-wish foundation. [ laughter ] you have to wonder, how many

lies are they going to uncover? you know, we've been goofing on santos for a month now. the truth is, somebody this good at making stuff up doesn't belong in congress, he belongs in hollywood. [ laughter ] here he would fit right in. so far we've learned that george santos is not a former college volleyball player, not a ninja, not banksy, not the real slim shady, never dated charo, didn't invent the flowbee, doesn't train dolphins, not in weezer, wasn't salt, wasn't pepa, wasn't the coppertone baby, not the philly phanatic, not the mandalorian, is not one of oprah's favorite things, and his penis doesn't speak french. [ laughter ] i'm sure there will be more "nots" by tomorrow. but until then, there is an organization that has been designed to handle just this sort of thing. >> do you or someone you voted for struggle with a serious chronic condition commonly known as b.s.? >> i was not a drag queen in brazil. >> b.s. is a rare but treatable disease. whose symptoms include -- lying about your resume, lying about your name, lying about

your criminal status in another country, lying about your volleyball scholarship, lying about helping sick kids, lying about your mother dying in 9/11, lying about every single aspect of your life. fortunately there's hope. you can help politicians suffering from b.s. with a donation to the government emergency organization regarding growing epidemics surrounding advanced neurological topics or symptoms. george santos. >> what do you have to say about the source of that money? >> huh? >> with your large and generous contribution, george santos will fight b.s., giving your congresspeople more time to steal puppies from the amish. please write a check to george santos today and help beat the b.s. >> i'm president michael jordan santos, and i approve this message. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: all right. we've got a good show for you tonight. chris distefano is here. [ cheers and applause ] we have music from gracie abrams. and we'll be right back with anthony mackie!

i grew up in las vegas, people find that very fascinating. "oh my god, what was it like?" what's it like growing up with mardi gras? do you go to that when you're a kid? >> you go as a kid with your parents, you run around. i always had the competition, who could catch the most cups. because all year, you know, you drink from those cups. i've never drank from a cup, like from a store. >> jimmy: really? [ laughter ] >> until i was 22. we didn't have fine china, we had mardi gras cups. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: so if you weren't good at catching, you had to drink out of your hands? >> no, you're staying under the older people. every time a cup comes, you bump them and get their cup. [ laughter ] i used to get stacks of them. when you go out with your friends, everybody leaves home with a cup, who knows where that cup will end by the end of the night. >> jimmy: wow, how about that. i knew about the beads. >> yeah, with the beads, a whole different thing. nobody kept beads. >> jimmy: nobody keeps the beads? >> no. on your flight, "oh, t them ad"

then you go home and your neck is green. [ laughter ] your girl's mad at you. you got a bead rash. [ laughter ] you know? so cups. that's the way to go. >> jimmy: that makes a lot of sense. you were the bacchus king? that's the big deal there, right? >> the king of mardi gras. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: wow. they really dolled you up, too. >> i had a crown. see that thing around my neck? that's called a ducal. when you're a king, you've got to get ducal. >> jimmy: you get duked? why is it called a ducal? >> it's a ducal, i don't know. >> jimmy: do you keep the ducal? >> you keep your ducal. they put your name on your ducal. >> jimmy: what do they call when they have the beads and the little medallion -- >> that's a doubloon. people collect those. my brother, when he was a kid, he had a doubloon collectio forever. then i took them all out and threw them away. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: that's how it goes, right? >> that's how it goes.

>> jimmy: things are collectible because we throw them out or our mothers throw them it. >> everybody has a little brother that go and toss them out in the trash, old doubloons. >> jimmy: i went to mardi gras once, a long time ago, 20 years ago. one of these things, do you want to be a grand marshal in the parade? me and my friend adam carolla, "sure, we'd love to be the grand marshals." we get to the parade. they give us a bag with beads with doubloons at the end. we're looking at the doubloons. on the doubloons there's an image of tommy lasorda. if you're curious as to why we'd be throwing out tommy lasorda doubloons, it turned out they'd originally committed to tommy lasorda. >> tommy couldn't be there. >> jimmy: tommy canceled and they're like, to hell with it -- >> keep the same beads, we're not redoing the beads. too expensive. >> jimmy: i remember the look of confusion on everybody's face, we throw the thing, oh, great -- then, huh?

>> do you remember which parade it was? >> jimmy: it was one of the bad ones. >> oh, yeah, yeah, across the river. >> jimmy: it was a side parade. >> you went metarie? oh, man. >> jimmy: let's put it this way, i didn't have a ducal around my neck. [ laughter ] i was not wearing a crown. i was throwing out a zip-loc bag of tommy lasorda. >> pretty much, pretty mach. jmy: when you get older, do y >> 18, when you kind of, you know -- you break away, you go -- like for lundi gras, the day before mardi gras. you go to the french quarter and the riverfront, they have food, they have stages out there. the day before. that monday when is it get hopping, like school shopping. you out there, it's all for you that day. >> jimmy: were you popular at those events with the ladies? >> wow. just specifically the ladies? [ laughter ] yeah, when i was 18, i was well known, yes. >> jimmy: you were, yeah. i had a feeling. >> i had a public access tv show. >> jimmy: you did?

>> yeah, my cousin, we had a record label called take four records. we could only afford four takes. [ laughter ] if you don't have it by take four -- we got to go to the next one, bro. >> jimmy: wow, that's great. >> yeah. so we created the word, and this is true, we created the word "twerk." >> jimmy: come on. [ laughter ] you and your cousin created twerk? >> no, no, no. the dude who was rapping created the word twerk, but we went at it when they made the word twerk. >> jimmy: oh. >> that pretty much mean i'm in there. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: wait -- who was the guy who created the word "twerk"? >> this is true new orleans. what's up, all right? so it was -- his name was dj jubilee. dj jubilee was a high school coach. but he was a rapper and a deejay. [ laughter ]

so he had a group, and he did these dance songs, so we would throw parties like at st. mark's and the riverboat -- everybody in new orleans is going, great. instagram, if you know somebody from new orleans, is going crazy because of these names. >> jimmy: yeah, really. >> my favorite place was the riverboat hallelujah. a party venue. we would throw these parties like crazy. 3,000, 10,000 people show up. jubilee would get up there, sing his songs, man, we was huge in the southeast. you go to biloxi, you couldn't say my name. [ laughter and applause ] >> jimmy: somehow you guys came up with twerk? as the name for that dance? >> because it was called jerking. it was this girl, she was jerking so hard. [ laughter ] two of us like, man, she working! man, she's tworking! that was the escalation. >> jimmy: wow. guillermo, do a little fact check on this. >> guillermo: i will in the commercial. >> jimmy: all right. i mean, you might as well be thomas edison.

look. >> you like this? i feel like i look like jeffrey dahmer. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: you look like you didn't get the role of jeffrey dahmer. [ laughter ] >> yeah, but yeah, they're my dad's glasses, the only thing he kept in the divorce. so i figured -- you know. >> jimmy: they've got a nice, pink tint to them. >> like that? >> jimmy: about what year did your dad wear those glasses? >> probably -- he got out of prison in 1983. i guess 1984, the year i was born. >> jimmy: are you responsible for any globally beloved dance moves? >> no, you know, i was watching that with anthony mackie with the twerking. no, i feel like -- i'm not a dancer. when i get very excited, like nervous, i get very itchy. like i usually just wind up -- i guess i have a move, it's called the psoriasis. [ laughter ] it flares up. i'm always trying to hide my nipples. it's one of those things. i lost 35 pounds but i still have nipple fat.

if you looked at just my nipples, it's like "600 pound life." fat nipples, man. you deal with it, right? you live life. >> jimmy: is there surgery for that? is there anything you can do? >> no. there's nothing. you could cut off my nipples. [ laughter ] but i would -- that would be sick. they're full pepperonis. but i'm from brooklyn. so -- it's what happens. >> jimmy: speaking of brooklyn, speaking of new york, you made a big announcement that you are going to be playing radio city music hall. >> i am. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: september 22nd. >> thank you. doing radio city music hall september 22nd. started comedy 12 years ago in new york at the maui taco. now which my dad owns. [ laughter ] yeah, illegally. and -- [ laughter ] and now, you know, to do radio city -- let me -- get the tickets now. i would go get the tickets immediately. because my family, my wife and kids are puerto rican, my dad's italian, i have 450 comps.

i have to give away 450 tickets for free. i'm going to be the only guy to sell out radio city and lose money. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: you've got 450 people coming? >> yeah, and that's just one side of one of one part of my family. it's so -- it's going to be all puerto ricans and italians like "west side story." [ laughter ] >> jimmy: will everybody come over to the house afterwards? >> everybody comes to the house afterwards. and then that's where the fun really begins. because you have the puerto rican side that wants to have their beautiful puerto rican food, all the things that give me and you diarrhea immediately. [ laughter ] you've got to eat it. then the italian stuff. then my father, who is on this diabetes diet. i've got to get him his diabetic bread, gluten-free everything. he doesn't even care. his blood sugar -- he told me once, "the doctor said my blood sugar is never supposed to go above 100, it's 850 right now." [ laughter ] "do you think i can have one slice of cake? i feel good except my feet fell off."

[ laughter ] >> jimmy: this could be a farewell party for your dad. >> yeah, that would be it. then i'll get the -- listen, it's not all bad. i'll get to keep the glasses. [ laughter and applause ] >> jimmy: this is a -- unlike almost anyone in comedy, you started out in the medical profession. were you a doctor? >> can you believe that? >> jimmy: it's hard to imagine. >> people are like, no he's not. no, i swear. a doctor in physical therapy. so it's not a real doctor. it is and it -- listen, my mother's very proud of it. but she would tell her friends, i'm an actual doctor. "barbara has a fever, what are you going to do?" i was like, uh -- "massage her elbow?" [ laughter ] "i'm not a real doctor, mom." in the beginning -- because i left. listen, i left physical therapy. i was a licensed physical therapist. good job, good benefits, everything. mother's dream. and then i was like, i'm doing comedy. i want -- comedy's been my dream, i'm going to the maui

taco, i'm going for it. my mother was, like, so upset. "he was a doctor, now he's a clown." [ laughter ] "i don't know what to do, he's an idiot just like his father!" [ laughter ] i swear, so upset. but my dad was always supportive. my mom was too, but my mom, you know -- more nervous and everything. but my dad was right away, "you live in my basement, you do this." i couldn't tell my mom that i was -- that i left my physical therapy job. my dad was like, "nobody knows how to lie to your mother better than me." [ laughter ] "i promise you, i got every line, she'll never believe it." i was like, this is great! so we kind of kept from it her for a couple of weeks. then eventually she found out that i was doing comedy. and you know what, honestly, i don't regret anything. it got me here, got me to radio city. but in the beginning, with my profession, with physical therapy, you know -- you don't -- i don't know if people know this.

in the beginning, comedy is so hard to start out in stand-up. nobody will put you on stage. the only way to get on stage is you have to hand out flyers for the club, they'll put you on at 2:00 in the morning on a tuesday. bring 20 people and the club will put you on, pay $5, whatever. i bartered services as a physical therapist to get on my friends' shows. my friends would be running shows, other comedians would be running these comedy shows. "you know what, i can use my services here." so my friends found out. they'd be like, "you're a physical therapist?" nobody has health insurance as comics. >> jimmy: and they're very unhealthy people. >> we don't have it. let me tell you something. i can't tell you how many times i would tell my comedian friends that i'm a physical therapist, so i have a doctorate degree but i'm not a real doctor. they'd be like, "that's fine, you've got to take a look." they pull their pants down, "is that an std?" [ laughter ] i can't tell you how many comedians who are arena acts, who have been on your show, i've looked down their penis and have to look them in the eye, "you don't have chlamydia," when

i knew damn well they had chlamydia. [ laughter ] i wanted to get on their show, "so you'll be fine." >> jimmy: wow. >> it's all good. >> jimmy: you really got to know these guys in a way that no one else does -- >> jimmy, i'm telling you, you could put out -- i could guess people's netflix specials by seeing their penis. [ laughter ] "i know who that is, i saw that in 2012 in the back of maui taco." [ laughter ] >> jimmy: your new show, "super maximum retro show," is based initially on this great twitter feed called "super '70s sports." my favorite twitter page. >> that twitter is amazing. you produced the show, you chose me to host, i appreciate it. mike birbiglia couldn't do it so you picked me, which i appreciate. [ laughter ] it's a great show. i mean, it's -- you know, '70s, '80s, '90s. it was fun for me to be a part of it because -- you know, it gave me -- i went down memory lane. thinking about things from the

'80s, '90s. if you're an older person from that generation, you'll reminisce. if you're a younger person, not from that generation, you'll see what was going on in the '70s, '80s, '90s, and realize your parents were dirtbags. [ laughter ] things were wild. >> jimmy: so i dug up something for you. because i know that the premise of the show is you show these clips to sometimes younger people, sometimes older people. this is something in the '80s, there were these 900 numbers. maybe early '90s, i don't know. celebrities would try to get you to call in to talk to them for $2 a minute. >> yeah, yeah. >> jimmy: and let's take a look. >> okay. >> yeah, we like to rock and roll, we like to do other things too. >> call the rock line. >> we'll give you the warm, hard facts on our personal lives. >> our fans always come first. >> $2 the first minute, 45 cents every additional minute. please ask your parents' permission. >> let's get it started! >> pump it up and turn this mother out! >> call me! >> what you doing? >> i'm waiting on calls, baby. >> i want to talk to you.

1-900-234-jose. i'll give you the latest scoop on baseball and my personal life. if you want to know if i use steroids, how fast i drive, why i was carrying that gun, call 900-234-jose. [ cheers and applause ] >> oh my god. >> jimmy: did you know about that? >> you know, i don't remember that. but i'm pretty positive the man that sold jose conseco the steroids on that gun was my father. [ laughter ] somebody in these glasses got him in trouble. >> jimmy: tuesday, march 7th, vice tv, "super maximum retro show" hosted by chris destefano. thank you, chris. >> thank you, jimmy.
