dan: we appreciate your time. >> lou: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live!" tonight, david letterman, and dominique fishback. with cleto and the cletones. and now, jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: hi, how are you doing? welcome. thank you. thank you, i appreciate that. i'm jimmy, i'm the host of the show. thank you for coming, thank you for watching, thanks for everything, really. i'm glad you're here. it's a special, special night for us. it's a special night for me

because david letterman is here. [ cheers and applause ] this is his first time visiting us here in l.a. and i have to say i feel like our regional manager is coming for an inspection. [ laughter ] "straighten up everybody!" [ laughter ] dave is here to tell us about his new documentary on disney plus, "bono & the edge: a sort of homecoming, with dave letterman" and to promote his new faith-based cryptocurrency, davecoin! [ laughter ] which i'm excited about. this is a big deal for me. this is like if don francisco came to the set. >> guillermo: that's right, jimmy, real by, very big, yes. >> jimmy: i hope dave brought his galoshes because the rain is not stopping here. this is from a busy street in santa cruz. >> they just caught a fish. oh, they're going to have dinner tonight. fish in the road. >> jimmy: mmmm, street fish!

you can't beat intersection sushi. [ laughter ] here in l.a., we are not too good when it comes to navigating anything, really. any scenario you throw at us, we will succumb. this is from an underpass not far from here in the city of commerce where a motorist made the always wise decision to gun it. >> this guy is going to go for it. that is not recommended. oh my gosh. and i'm pretty sure he just got stuck. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yep. there he, stuck. if only there had been another abandoned car nearby to serve as a warning. [ laughter ] perhaps that wouldn't have happened. [ applause ] as if it wasn't bad enough that he got caught in the water, he wound up in some kind of a pod of local news crews. because channel 5 picked up where channel 7 left off, which was with him in the water. >> this driver managed to grab his backpack and tried to walk through knee-deep water. firefighters and a tow truck

showed up to pull out his car. but unfortunately he lost balance, fell in the floodwaters, before making it to the sidewalk. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: oh, no. put him in rice! put him in a zip-loc bag, fill it with rice, leave it on the windowsill. i like to imagine his kids watching that on a loop now. laugh "dad, you're aquaman!" [ laughter ] today marks three years since the first covid lockdown. remember we were elbow-bumping and working the atm with our feet? [ laughter ] i guess it's gone because president biden is now in las vegas, of all places. he had a busy schedule today. he met with democrats to discuss the inflation reduction act, he gave a speech at unlv about prescription drug prices, and tonight, he wraps things up with a stop at the peppermint hippo to make it rain. [ laughter ] what if they gave him one night off from being president in las vegas? let him wander around the casino at 3:00 a.m., blasted on schnapps, maybe one of those big horn drinks.

[ laughter ] asking around for donny and marie. you know? [ laughter ] can you imagine joe biden at a card table? "i need a jack, jack!" [ laughter ] the president could use a bit of luck right now. he has some fresh new competition for 2024. joe exotic, the now-incarcerated tiger king, has launched a presidential campaign. even though he is serving a 21-year prison sentence. he made the announcement on his website. he wrote, "put aside that i am gay, that i am in prison for now, that i used drugs in the past, that i had more than one boyfriend at once, and that carole hates my guts. this all has not a thing to do with me being able to be your voice. i am used to fighting my whole life just to get by. i am broke, they have taken everything i ever worked for away, and it's time we take this country back." [ laughter ] makes sense to me. [ applause ] maybe in a couple of months trump can just copy and paste that onto his campaign website. [ laughter ] the tiger king, believe it or

not, has some pretty solid endorsements from a number of luminaries including seth posey, his own fiance. matthew heller from "hornblasters.com." cannabis influencer, "cookies super fan." "classy convicts," a prison pen pal website. a half a dozen bikini models/porn stars. and snake trapper, "python mike" kimmel." who is, sadly, no relation to me. but that's a good list. i think that was the list for the vanity fair oscar party. unfortunately for joe, we have moved on to other characters who've captured our imagination, led by congressman curious george santos. [ laughter ] who i mentioned last night filed paperwork indicating that he plans to run for re-election in 2024. today he released the first of what i hope will be many ads announcing this campaign. >> times are tough. money is tight. americans deserve better. i'm george santos, and i'm running for re-election. as the child of a mother who was

jewish and a father who was a velociraptor, i know all too well the challenges that are faced by everyday americans. when i was a boy, i remember my childhood home being repossessed. by the demon pazuzu. very traumatic, they made a movie about it. being an openly gay republican congressman isn't common, but i am not unlike many of my constituents. i grew up in jackson heights in saturday cartoons and eating - peanut butter and ketchup sandwiches with my sisters, kate and ashley. when i was 11, a giant came to me and told me that i was a wizard. petronis sentosis! as your congressman, i will continue to fight for justice and equality and for the ufc, where i'm currently a seven-time world champion. george santos, for a better tomorrow today, tomorrow. i'm george santos, and i'm a cyborg sent from the future to kill sarah conner on behalf of

skynet. [ applause ] >> jimmy: you've do the my vote, that's for sure. donald trump jr. has been busy posting thoughtful videos from his house. this is his job now, i guess. and in his most recent video, i noticed something that -- well, take a look at this. >> we've seen the insanity of what's gone on the last talk years and we're just here to call that out. >> jimmy: zoom in, if you can. he's got two empty frames on his shelf. [ laughter ] those are pictures of his friends. [ laughter and applause ] showing off all the fun times he had with dad when he was a kid. [ laughter ] those of you who watch the show regularly know that from time to time, we like to include my aunt chippy in the fun. we've pulled many a shenanigan on aunt chippy over the years, but somehow, we always manage to squeeze one more out. this time, we brought her to our studio under the false pretense that she'd be shooting a commercial. aunt chippy is a smoker. she loves cigarettes, so we came

up with the perfect product to have her pitch. >> hello, everybody. >> so we're doing an integration. it's for gum that helps you quit smoking. they think you quit. >> okay. how long has it been? since i quit? >> what do you think? >> three years? >> three years, okay. this is our client, carrie. this is aunt chippy. >> hey. >> hi, carrie. >> how long have you been not smoking? >> oh, about three years. three -- three years. >> that's amazing, that's amazing. >> do you want me to read every single line of this? >> you're already changing the script and we haven't even started? let's play it as it's written, okay? >> can you zoom in on chippy real quick? >> you've been up since 3:00 in the money, right? >> yes, i have been. >> can we get makeup? well, under the eyes. >> [ bleep ] put on before my [ bleep ] eyes fall out.

break. >> is her voice always like that? >> see if you can become less gravelly when you talk. >> it doesn't go away because you stop smoking. >> smile! >> your ass is smiling. >> smile! >> that's all the teeth i got. >> smile! and action! >> now this is my cigarette break! aahhh! >> i really think you should take a bite. >> i ain't taking no bite out of the cigarette. >> take a bite. >> no, no, no. >> take a big bite and spit it on the ground. >> i'm breaking them but i'm not biting them. i'm not biting them. did you hear me? >> everybody heard you. >> i don't see why we have to waste all these cigarettes now. they'll do another break. hi! >> go. >> now this is -- >> whoa, whoa, whoa. you ready? i need to see them. i need -- ♪ oohhhhhh aahhhhh ♪

"introducing cigarette gum."

then take some and move on to that line, okay? >> just say the frickin' word. >> i need you to smile. action! >> introducing cigarette gum. >> too sexy, too sexy. >> the last time i'm going to do it, i feel like a [ bleep ] saying that stupid line. >> okay. and action! >> cigarette gum. the best part is, since i quit smoking, men are starting to notice me again in a sexual way. [ laughter ] >> okay. i have a variation that we'll do after this one. >> we're nt variating anything. variate your ass. i'm doing it one more time. i'm doing this -- i don't have to look sexy to chew gum. >> here's what i want to do. "thanks to cigarette gum, this is the only butt i'm going to be reaching for." i want you to grab -- >> what? >> -- a butt. >> [ bleep ], i ain't doing that. he's crazy, i ain't doing that stuff. >> no? >> no, that's not me. get somebody else to do it.

>> but -- chippy -- >> i ain't grabbing nobody's butt. i wouldn't do that to anybody on television or anything else. >> what -- >> go call my nephews up and tell them. thanks to cigarette gum, this is the only butt i'll be reaching for. that's good. that's good. that's good. >> okay. so i want you to do it again -- >> i'm done! >> we're not done. >> i'm done, i'm going home. >> chippy -- [ laughter ] >> i'm leaving. ♪ cig cig cig cigarette gum ♪ >> i swear on the lives of all my children and grandchildren that i will never smoke another cigarette again or let the good lord jesus strike me dead right here and now.

[ cheers and applause ] tomorrow night, we'll be joined by andy samberg and lukas gage with music from raye. no one on television means more to me than our first guest and nobody hates hearing that more, either. he is a 40-foot-tall giant among men who joins two legendary musicians in ireland, just in time for st. patrick's day.

[ cheers and applause ] ♪ [ cheers and applause ] ♪ [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> wow. that was very, very nice. thank you very much. [ cheers and applause ] thank you. and james, thank you.

and it's great to see your mother and father, that's the life. >> jimmy: any mother and father. my mother, when i was 16, for my birthday, she made me a "late night with david letterman" cake. >> yes, i this i've heard that story. that's where the trouble began. so i'm walking into this fabulous -- is this the old tommy lasorda theater? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: it is, yes. >> it's beautiful. and on either side of the wall, must be 100 photos of myself and you. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah, yeah. >> at first i thought, oh, well, that's -- that's very nice. i'm touched. and the more i saw it and the more i understood what was going on, i actually was sickened. [ laughter ] it just -- it just seemed like there's pathology at work here and it all started with the cake. >> jimmy: it all started with the came, yep. i know how you love to see pictures of yourself, and i know how you love attention. >> it is very unpleasant. [ laughter ]

but this facility is the nicest -- for example, the dressing room. i have never been in a dressing room that nice. if you were on any of my productions, the dressing rooms were all built as wpa projects. [ laughter ] after the depression. but i could live back there. >> jimmy: you're welcome to do that. [ laughter ] [ applause ] and by the way, you're totally right. the dressing rooms at the ed sullivan -- >> everybody i meet is a family member, so i would sit right in. as you know, i've always thought of you as dave jr. >> jimmy: oh, boy. don't just say that. [ cheers and applause ] oh, every hair on my body is standing up right now. >> oh, i don't want to know that. >> jimmy: i though you love hollywood -- >> i spent the day googling symptoms. >> jimmy: are you okay? >> according to the internet, i

am. listen. >> jimmy: yeah? >> a good friend of mine, i think you know him, george miller. >> jimmy: yes. >> passed away, one of my very close friends. when i first came to california, george took me aside and he said, "dave, i want you to know something. in hollywood, oscar is king." and truer words have never been spoken. and so now you hosting the academy awards. >> jimmy: uh-huh? >> for a third time. and this was a sensational moment for the country and the network and yourself. you know what this makes you, don't you? >> jimmy: no. >> you are the prince of hollywood. >> jimmy: wow. [ cheers and applause ] that's exciting. ♪ i mean, that's very kind of you to say. but i'm not giving up dave jr., i'm sticking with that. [ laughter ] >> here's how -- a lot of people ask me, "dave, how do you feel about --" here's how i feel about award shows generally. >> jimmy: okay, yeah, yeah. >> yeah, fine.

but if i'm not going to win something, i don't -- really not that interested. [ laughter ] you know what i mean? >> jimmy: it makes sense, yes, it does make sense. >> now let's get into it. >> jimmy: sure. >> grcongratulations because yo resurrected this carcass. [ laughter ] and the network and the academy ought to be very grateful. nice going. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: i mean, it's undeserved, but i will take that. >> it's not undeserved. when i hosted it, and i don't know how long ago it's been, but it was such a bomb. the academy thought maybe it had been terrorists. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: that's not true. >> it's absolutely true. >> jimmy: it is not true. >> so now "the cocaine bear." >> jimmy: okay, yeah. [ laughter ] >> here was one of my moments that i truly enjoyed. malala and the cocaine bear. [ laughter ] and you have to caution cocaine bear. cocaine bear, leave may lan la

alone. >> jimmy: he was sniffing malala, yeah. >> he was sniffing malala. >> jimmy: he can't sniff malala, it's not nice. >> then i hear that, oh, let's wait and find out who is in the cocaine bear suit. then we find out, and i know for a fact that that's a lie -- i know it wasn't jazzy jeff. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: it was. >> no, it wasn't. >> jimmy: it was deejay jassy jeff. >> no, it wasn't. >> jimmy: did you see him? >> it could have been me, why wasn't it me? >> jimmy: it could have been you. >> it was me. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: it definitely could have been you. >> it was me. >> jimmy: you interviewed malala some time ago. i love watching your interviews. >> you're very kind, james, thank you. >> jimmy: i really do. and i love -- do you enjoy doing what we might call a serious interview more than you would, say, interviewing a richard simmons? [ laughter ] >> i want to tell you something. every interview i had with richard simmons was deadly

serious. [ laughter and applause ] you know what it is, i just like talking to people. i find that i'm ignorant on most topics. as a result, i have great curiosity. and that's why i want to talk to you about your experience hosting the academy awards. >> jimmy: okay, sure, all right. >> and i know at a certain point in time you'll get tired of this. >> jimmy: okay. >> but like parties, did you go to parties afterward? >> jimmy: we did. we went to -- >> you say we, who is we? >> jimmy: my wife and i. we had the governor's ball, which is -- >> now that's not the governor of california? >> jimmy: not the governor of california. >> the governor of show business. >> jimmy: many people think it is the governor of california. the governing board of the academy. they have dinner next door. we went to that. we stayed for a while -- >> how was the chow? >> jimmy: i had a pot pie wolfgang puck made, and it was pretty good, i'll tell you that. >> let's see if everybody agrees with me. pot pie, without a doubt, 100% of the time, you burn the roof of your mouth. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: i was good, i was

okay. and then we went to -- my wife and i went to the olive garden afterwards. [ laughter ] we had ravioli alfredo over there. we headed right home. i had to work the next day, so there wasn't a lot of going out. >> you are -- good lord. the preparation for that show is endless. then you come right back and you do your nightly policeman. and this is not an easy show to do unless everybody in the audience is a family member. [ laughter ] then it's much easier. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: i'm kind of the opposite, really. did you -- on the night after you hosted the oscars, did you go back to new york and do your show the next tight? >> no, we got on a plane and flew back to new york, got on another plane and flew to london, preparing for a week of shows we were to do in london. >> jimmy: see, that's too much. >> yeah, it was too much. the whole thing was too much. >> jimmy: yeah, that's a lot. >> yeah. they had to shut down -- the show was so bad that the academy got together and they said, "we can never let this happen again!" so they shut down the film industry for one year.

[ laughter ] >> jimmy: they did? >> one year. >> jimmy: they shut the whole industr down? >> everything. >> jimmy: the oscars that followed as well. >> that's right. did you have fun at the party? people must have been all over -- >> jimmy: no, no, it's terrible. it's a lot of people asking for my phone number, yeah. >> did meryl streep win something? >> jimmy: she did not. she wasn't nominated this year. >> oh, crap, was not nominated? >> jimmy: no. >> i thought she was winning even without the nomination. >> jimmy: sometimes they just toss one onto her lawn as they drive by. [ laughter ] >> you mine the academy awards van? >> jimmy: there is a van. >> "here's one for you." here's something that may be a little sensitive. >> jimmy: okay. >> tom cruise. >> jimmy: yeah. >> where was tom cruise? >> jimmy: we don't know where tom cruise was. we heard production issues, which usually -- >> what does that mean? >> jimmy: exactly. that's not -- it's very nonspecific. but we have no idea what happened. >> jimmy: tom cruise should have been there. >> well, yeah.

>> jimmy: celebrating his big jet-packed "maverick" show. >> jimmy: "jet pack maverick," yeah. [ laughter and applause ] seems like he should have been there, but he was not there. like you were saying before, maybe he didn't feel he was going to win so he didn't want to come. >> yes, but between you and me, he should have been there, right? >> jimmy: yeah, of course, yeah. he's the prince of hollywood. >> but more to the power of your success, if mr. big shot is not there and still the show has never been more successful -- nice going, jimmy. >> jimmy: thank you.

great, talented irish musicians performing in a way you're not going to hear them perform. >> jimmy: yeah. >> so sing along and a lot of this. and i just -- at one point i found myself with a camera, like about here. and i thought, oh [ bleep ].

[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: yeah, sure. >> a lot of it is hymns. i would fake singing. periodically a woman my mother's age, not my mother but a woman my mother's age, who should have known better and should have minded her own business, would say, "well, you're not singing at all, young map." then we would have to putt cut her tires. [ laughter ] [ applause ] >> jimmy: yeah. >> so yeah, doesn't come

naturally. but god, what an experience that night was. >> jimmy: what about sitting there with bono and with edge and they've written a song for you? >> oh my god. >> jimmy: about you. >> yeah. >> jimmy: somewhat. although i read the lyrics. it doesn't seem to be about you, i'm going to be honest. >> thank you for being honest. >> jimmy: they're singing to you, and i can't imagine any situation -- >> has anyone ever written a song for you? >> jimmy: um -- no, no. >> nor i. >> jimmy: yeah. >> and we're in this place called the march library. it's, like, from the 16th century. and there is books the size of this chair. and it's huge. it's well regarded academically. and it's freezing. it was very, very cold in there. so the edge and bono, they come in. edge says, "i was up until 3:00 last night writing this song." and i thought, i'll be darned! hoping that that would be the end of it. [ laughter ] they start getting out sheet

music and the band, everybody's got an arrangement, and now they're singing this song that the night before, they have created. and i'm thinking two things. oh [ bleep ], i hope this goes away. [ laughter ] and secondly i'm thinking, oh my god, this is not bad. so it turns out to be a real deal. and if you're going to have -- and these guys aren't kidding around, writing songs. >> jimmy: do you think if you had people sing to you more, you would become more comfortable with it? >> yes, i do, jimmy. i'm going to do that. [ laughter and applause ] >> jimmy: i've got my guitar here. >> how are you when people sing to you? >> jimmy: hate it, don't like it at all. doesn't matter how nice it is or how beautiful it sounds, makes me want to crawl under the table. >> same with me. i don't like it when people sort of coerce you into, "everybody!" [ laughter ] i'm not everybody, no. no, thank you. >> jimmy: have you looked into this, why you're unable to enjoy moments like that? >> do i seem like i have any self-introspection?

[ laughter ] >> jimmy: yes. >> no, i'm not -- i've not looked at anything, frankly. life's too short. >> jimmy: as when you're here in hollywood, as we call it, do you get the urge to drive down the block to the comedy store where you worked for so long as a young man, where you did stand-up with your friends, get up on stage there, do a set? >> no, no. >> jimmy: no? not at all? >> i was never really a stand-up comedian. i did stand-up comedy because i knew to be on "the tonight show," which was my reason for leaving indiana, was -- you had to do some stand-up comedy. because they're not going to put you on, "hey, i understand this kid just moved from indiana, here he is!" [ laughter ] so that's all i could do. when i would go on the road -- did you -- you've done, have not done? >> jimmy: yeah. >> i found that every afternoon you'd be in any town, any college town in the united states -- i remember one time, they'd always send a guy, the president of the student body, to pick you up at the airport.

>> jimmy: uh-huh? >> so you fly all night. you're half grogged. get off the plane. the guy picks you up. he wants to talk. and i don't want to talk. and i'm in the back seat. and i look in the rear-view mirror and i see the guy driving. yeah because he's been up drinking all night. and he gets to go pick up [ bleep ]. [ laughter ] sorry, mom! so i asked him to pull over, and i had to drive myself from the airport to the gig. so a little of that goes a long way. >> jimmy: well, it is a thrill to have you here. >> listen, thank you very much. i know -- i had to ask to be on the show. >> jimmy: that's not true. >> and that's impolite. >> jimmy: no, it's not. >> and this man in his lifetime in his career that i've known him, has been so kind to me. and the people who work with him are equally kind, if not perhaps a little more.
