11:36 pm
[cheers and applause] ♪ ♪ >> jimmy: welcome, welcome! ♪ ♪ thank you for joining us here you know what, -- you know what today is? today is may 1st, can you believe it, guillermo, it's may 1st. >> i cannot believe it. >> jimmy: even though the calendar clearly, it's right there, clearly predicting this would happen, our nation's newscasters have once again been left in disbelief. >> may 1st, can you believe it? it's already may. >> can you believe it's already may? >> may 1st, can you believe it? >> can you believe it's already may? >> can you believe it's already may? april went by so fast. >> june comes.
11:37 pm
>> may 1st, hard to believe we are in the fifth month of the year already. flying by. >> hard to believe we are already in may. >> hard to believe we are in may. >> hard to believe we are already on may 1st. >> can you believe it's may already? >> gosh, can you believe it's already may? fico can you believe it, it's may! >> may 1st, can you believe it? >> no. >> can you believe it's may already? really wild. >> jimmy: it's really wild. [applause] what's next back june? speaking of unbelievable, i don't know what to make of this but this happened at halftime of the lakers and grizzlies game on friday, lebron and friends crushed memphis to advance to the second round. big night for lakers fans but the devastating loss came during one of those contests where they give a fan dirty second starting shot, the fan in this case is 13 years old and one thing i will say about him is he is a showman. >> cooper, 30 seconds on my
11:38 pm
clock, all you got to do score ten points. are you ready? he is born ready! on your mark, get set, go, cooper. go for it. you are on the clock. oh, cooper is putting the ball down, hyping the crowd. fans, make some noise for cooper. putting on a show for us. cooper, you've got 15 seconds to score those ten points. fans, make some noise for cooper, he's got eight seconds to make ten points. cooper, you've got five seconds. [buzzer] cooper! >> jimmy: cooper, if only you have more time. that is such a cooper thing to do. cooper did not win free tuition to the lakers summer basketball camp this year, which is a shame because up as any kid that needs to learn about basketball, it's cooper. you know?
11:39 pm
biden took a few shots over the weekend at the annual white house correspondents' dinner, which, you know, trump never went to this event when he was in office. hard to believe, he doesn't have a great sense of humor about himself but trump was also absent at a 4 of his trial in new york, he's out of the country right now, he's in scotland visiting dennis there he is in that blue hat. that's donald trump. i think -- pretty sure he's burying an ex-wife there. and then after scotland he will go on to ireland where he will stay at the trump international hotel and golf links in doing bag. like when he got doon and begged stormy daniels to spank him with a magazine. next he will be in new hampshire during a town hall event on cnn which has to be a real punch in the trump nuts for fox news. he hasn't appeared on cnn since before the election in 2016 but it makes sense. he loves to say the cnn word,
11:40 pm
and he's annoyed at fox news. they dropped a lemon and an orange to their lineup. don lemon, i want to mention, this is interesting because ever since he and tucker carlson were fired on the same day, they have the same lawyer, have reportedly been texting each other. they are having their own little "we got fired" fast which is pretty crazy. like when you you're two angry excess form an alliance, no good can come from it all but i just want to say congratulations to tucker carlson on making his first black friend. [laughter and applause] i think it's a step in the right direction. speaking of black friends, mike pence -- wait, he's a white guy, right? always forget that. if anyone knows about what it's like to go through painful public breakup, it is the former vice poodle mike pence has yet to announce whether he's planning to run for president even though he is quite clearly running for president and when asked about his time with his
11:41 pm
former boss/future opponent, he now has a perfectly pencil line to describe it. >> we had a close relationship when we were in the white house, you can read about it in my book. i'm incredibly proud of the record. it's true. they mend well. the president and i had a very close working relationship for four years. didn't end well. thought about peace in the middle east but obviously it didn't end well. >> for four years we had a close working relationship. it did not end well. >> our administration didn't end well. it didn't end well. >> arc administration did not end well. >> obviously did administration did not end well. >> obviously did not end well. >> they had administration didn't end well. >> didn't end well. >> it did not end well. >> i think i'm very clear in saying that the administration did not end well.
11:42 pm
>> jimmy: yeah, that's not the fairy tale ending that you kind of hope for. that's -- and you know who else the election didn't end well for, mr. my pillow mike lindell. not only is mike being sued by dominion for $1.3 billion, he also has to shell out $5 million because of the dumb contest he ranked where he proved -- announced prove mike braun where if anybody could prove the election data he gathered from the 2020 election was false he would pay that person $5 million in a guy who happens to be a trump supporter did exactly that. in a 15 page report he proved it was nonsense unknown arbitrator as ordered him to pay up, which of course he doesn't want to do so instead he's lashing out at the guy who proved him wrong in this, as you will see, is a man who knows his cyber technology. >> he's in the cyber room on the first day and he had to ask other cyber guys how to use wireshark, which is -- a common
11:43 pm
thing that cyber guys used to open up any files of data in the cyber world. so he didn't even know how to do that. [laughter and applause] >> jimmy: we just lost my, so we're going to get reconnected with mike lindell. speeone's demand doesn't even know how to work as wi-fi and he is telling us he somehow cracked the election fraud code. >> if you take that and take the machines out of our country, do you know what's left? a trusted election in this country is 70 some percent red everywhere. [laughter] >> we just lost mike. laura, thanks for being with us. >> jimmy: we forgot to pay our boost mobile bill this month and while we're on the subject of
11:44 pm
dopes, remember devin nunes? it was one of trump's top sycophants in congress. now he is running truth social, which is doing really great. if the social media equivalent of an abandoned toys 'r' us, but he is a powerful speaker if you've ever seen him, you know. is going on the road along with mike lindell and part of what they call the reawaken america to her and to celebrate, folks that reawaken particular song that i think tells you all you need to know about this event. physical ♪ ♪ [laughter] >> jimmy: michael moore just jumped onto the space needle
11:45 pm
i know we can't agree on much but can we agree that anyone that thinks that song is a good idea probably shouldn't be running the country? is quite a happenstance at the l.a. philharmonic this weekend. allow me to set the scene. on friday night beautiful walt disney concert hall, the orchestra is playing tchaikovsky's fifth symphony, a woman in the crowd then has what was described as -- my fellow audience members as a loud and full body orgasm listen. at the right moment too. why this happened we do not know. i do want to inform our studio audience that if tonight show brings you to full or even partial orgasm, please raise your hand so guillermo can escort you to the lobby. [applause] some people believe the woman may have had a medical emergency and that's why she made that
11:46 pm
sound but others who were sitting nearby are saying nope, it was a orgasm. either way, the their clarinet player on the case. this is a list of stuff passengers say they left behind. if they say april was the most forgetful month for americans. more items lost in april than any other month and i can give you 420 reasons why. to some of the items left behind -- it's a funny list, included dentures, he did a slushy machine read all from the same awesome grandpa, by the w way. people criticize uber and in many cases rightly so but for people who drink it's a great thing because there is less temptation to get behind the wheel, which is especially good here on hollywood boulevard which those of you who are out there today know is the drunkest street in america and to prove it we went on hollywood boulevard and ask people passing by can you pass a sobriety test.

ali wong set on season one, it's very umami. >> jimmy: you go around and try different foods from different places in the united states and puerto rico, u.s. territories, that's this week's episode, right? >> they all drop at once on hulu but the first one, yes, is in puerto rico and a lot of people think that puerto ricans in this country are immigrants. they are not. they are american citizens. this is a territory, in my opinion it is a colony and we go there and we feature many dishes but there's this big controversy about whether -- catch up or no catch up and some porter reagan's swear by catch up on it and others are like i wouldn't dream of it, that is sacrilege. and that becomes a metaphor also or big discussion and controversy in puerto rico about whether they should have statehood so they have all of the rights that the mainland states have. they suffered a lot with president trump throwing the

paper towels. people are saying no, we should be independent. food is a great metaphor for a lot of deep, deep things in our culture and in our lives and so i just use it pretty much like a trojan horse. it's a show that is posing as a food show and there is a lot of delicious food and it but it's really a political show, cultural show and allows me to artistically -- you know, with entertainment -- say what i want to say -- show rather than say what i would say if i got on my soapbox and it is a direct result of my work with the aclu as their ambassador for immigration rights. [cheers and applause] you can clap for the aclu! >> jimmy: can we go back to ketchup for a second gimmick where do you stand on it? because i say no catch up. >> jimmy: i would imagine that no ketchup is the way to go. >> it's not for me to say. it's for puerto ricans to say.

>> jimmy: we are going to have to settle it for them. >> i'm not going to tell a puerto rican person what they should put on their -- >> jimmy: ketchup is so divisive in so many ways because i like ketchup but there are certain things that i do not believe require or need ketchup, like a hot dog. >> like a hot dog? >> jimmy: no ketchup on a hot dog! >> why not? >> it doesn't belong there. mustard. >> i love mustard. >> jimmy: and you don't relish or onions or sauerkraut is great -- but no ketchup goes on the hot dog and i apologize to everyone in chicago what you're doing it wrong. >> see? people get so passionate about food and this is what makes "taste the nation" so great. >> jimmy: i get mad at my kids when they want ketchup on the hot dogs. >> just don't buy it. >> jimmy: i can't not bite because we like it on other things. a hamburger, ketchup is good on. >> touchy territory. >> jimmy: on acceptable.

actually write about it -- >> jimmy: if you're going to quit being a vegetarian, that's a hell of a way to jump in. >> exactly. >> jimmy: i also want to congratulate you on -- i assume this is something you're excited about because the "sports illustrated" swimsuit issue, which is -- for someone my age, this is one of the biggest cultural events, but you are in this upcoming issue, do you mind if i show that -- they showed it anyway. i hope you don't mind. there you are. "sports illustrated." is this meaningful to you? >> you know, yeah, it's definitely meaningful. you know, i would have killed for it when i was in my 20s and a model because it is the holy grail, and they never even called me for anything like this and i really thought that ship had passed, to be honest, so when i got the call now a few months ago i was like [bleep], me, really?

i did not believe the news on the phone and then i started freaking out and i'm like i've got to go to the gym, oh, my god. luckily i was already hitting the gym pretty hard because it had been just a month as i got home from filming "top chef." >> jimmy: eating a lot on that show. >> i eat so much food. >> jimmy: how many calories a day would you guess you met >> first, a thousand or 9,000 calories a day. easily. easily. >> jimmy: even guillermo is shocked by that. >> 5,000. >> i keep it at 5,000. >> keep it moderate. next time we will do an eating contest, i will trounce you. hot dogs with no ketchup. >> jimmy: no ketchup for sure. we never eat -- and if we eat guillermo later, we won't put catch up on him. it's great to have you here. the show if you haven't seen it is called "taste the nation."
