jimmy kimmel! ♪ ♪ [cheers and applause] >> jimmy: that's very nice. i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching thank you for joining us here on television. on the good old american broadcasting company where there are no passwords required, there's no logins, there's no ad tiers or monthly fees, all you have to do is sit through 25 minutes of commercials every night. very convenient. the reason i bring this up is because netflix -- you know that channel with all the documentaries about getting murdered? netflix is finally cracking down on password sharing. they used to allow it, they were okay with it but starting soon, very soon, if you want to share your netflix password, you're going

to have to pay an extra fee every month which to me seems like a bad business strategy. they could lose a lot of nonpaying customers this way but they've done this before and it's expected that they will charge subscribers in the united states an extra seven or $8 per shared account, which say what you want about cable, it was a lot cheaper -- all you had to do was buy a splitter and climb on the roof of the house next door. speaking of cable, fox news yesterday agreed to shell out $787.5 million to settle a defamation lawsuit brought by dominion voting systems, those of the people who make the machines that we used to vote. it's one of the largest defamation settlements ever thanks to a mountain of evidence that indicated fox repeatedly aired lies about the election in fraudulent. this morning i was wondering how fox news was going to cover the stories about themselves, so i went on -- [laughter] oh, you know already? well, i didn't know, i went on

their website and this is what they had on the home page at 7:30 a.m. here in l.a. we got parking garage collapse in new york, we got something about the pentagon week, a youth wrestler sucker punched his opponents, that was big. if afghanistan, a fight between the guardian angels and aoc labeled "claws out." a survivor contestant died, a cheerleader is in the hospital after road rage incident. jane seymour looking good at 72. same afghanistan story again nothing about the huge payment for lying to their viewers. maybe it's in a timely, tiny little stories. dana perino has a podcast cool... tucker carlson investigates influencers who want you to eat bugs. and something about retirement. no mention of the settlement. what an oversight that is. man, oh, man, is rupert murdoch going to be mad when he finds out about this. now that dominion won this case

the big question for me, anyway is what happens to the mypillow guy? you know, dominion -- they are suing him for basically the same thing, for almost as much as suing him for $1.3 billion which he definitely doesn't have. [laughter] he may have to pay that in fiber fill because my -- he's not backing down. he's not like fox. no, he is much too delusional for that. >> fox news settles with dominion for 700 and some million dollars so my phone is blowing up all of these -- are you going to make this deal too? i'll tell you the deal i'm going to make. even if dominion or any of them offered me a billion dollars, i would say no. >> jimmy: now hold on now. why would they offer you a billion dollars? is it possible mike thinks he's the one suing dominion and not -- i don't know. i'm not sure he understands how being sued works, but go on.

>> why can't one machine company come clean? one. of heart, dominion, smartmatic any of you. why can't one of them just say you know what, just look at this, look inside, nothing happened! they didn't do anything. nobody got in there. china didn't hack in there. you know why? because they can't do that because that's guilty. guilty! [laughter] >> jimmy: the lawsuit just went up to $2.3 billion. [applause] he's not just being sued by dominion. he, like fox, is also being sued by smartmatic, the other voting machine company and believes strongly that fox news screwed up by giving in. >> they made a terrible mistake what they did. it doesn't make sense when you go into mediation for our first amendment right of free speech and you make a deal a dirty deal behind closed doors, and i'll tell you what we are out here, i will tell you

where mine ends. mine ends when those machines are melted down and turned into prison bars and we've got everybody going that was behind this going let us out, we are sorry we try to take your country. so god bless you and -- keep the faith. [laughter and applause] >> jimmy: [laughs] want to know what the saddest part is? he's talking to nobody. we are literally the only ones who are hearing this. us and that poor guy in the box next to him all day. fox news admitted that a statement they made about dominion were false but they did not make an on-air apology. they went right back to work focusing on the hard news stories that affect real americans every day. >> there is so much that's contributing to the erasure of women, whether it be changing language -- i mean, it's now offensive to use the term "mother," and now it is no longer breastfeeding, it's chest feeder. >> jimmy: that's right.

it's a scourge. and the umbilical cord is now called a baby bungee. mind your ps and qs. in florida, which is kind of the fox news of states, remember that controversial bill they had for elementary school kids in florida? today the florida board of education voted to extend that to include high school students. start with the good news. the good news is there are apparently schools in florida. okay? [laughter] the bad news is the florida board of education, which is almost an oxymoron -- the moron part for sure, and probably some oxy in there too. but the florida board of education under this expanded law, teachers will no longer be allowed to discuss gender or sexual orientation with their students, not even 12th grade students. this is what ron desantis has been pushing as he tries to prove he's more ridiculous than donald trump. meanwhile, one of his biggest donors and closest friends, a guy he appointed to the board of

governors overseeing florida's public university system, came out yesterday, this guy committed suicide in december after they wrote about a failed attempt to pay hush money to the father of a teenage girl he allegedly tried to bribe with taylor swift tickets in exchange for photos. he asked for nude photos and then she came to his office to pick up the tickets. the story says he asked her to show him the real thing and then she told her dad, the guy offered the dad money to be quiet, the father said no and the guy shot himself and that is who governor meatball appointed to make decisions about public education in his state. but if you have two gay parents please do not mention it aloud. you can think it, but quietly. and the craziest thing is, this comes from a state that is shaped exactly like a penis! [applause] this is what we should be worried about. north korea is what we should be worried about. kim jong un, who we haven't heard much from lately, popped up today to announce that north korea has their first spy

satellite ready to launch, which doesn't make a lot of -- aren't you supposed to not tell people you have a -- i don't know if he gets the word spy. but let's be honest, this spy satellite is probably just gluing a ring camera to a stump rocket. joe biden released his tax returns yesterday, which after four years of darth taxi bader still seems weird to me that he would release these without being sued but the bidens shared their annual federal income tax return. they made $579,514 last year down slightly from what they made in 2021. some of this from his salary as president, some is from his part-time job as a greeter at the walmart in virginia. the white house claims biden has released the most tax returns of any president while in office which is the trumpiest possible way to say it. it did shed some light on how they make money. he makes a lot of it through his

licensing deals, biden vodka biden colon, biden steaks, biden university, biden water, the board game. joe's taj mahal resort and casino, the biden golf course series of biden trading cards and jolting joe's vibro-belt which is on sale right now. the former governor of new jersey chris christie is said to be mulling a run for president against trump which would be a bold move because right now the new hampshire primary poll has chris christie at 2%, which is right under rabies and they spelled his name wrong too. you probably don't remember chris christie ran for president in 2016 but he doesn't have much in the way of name recognition nationally. and he would also probably have to face mike pence, who is expected to announce in the coming weeks. he is also polling at around 2% which is not good.

i wonder if even mike pence has the recognition to become president. so to find out we went to hollywood boulevard to ask people strolling by who is this man and this is what we learned. >> do you know do this man is? >> he looks familiar but i cannot tell you his name off the top of my head. >> do you know who this man is? >> no. >> do you know who this man is? >> i don't. >> who is this man? >> i don't know. simon cowell? >> do you know who this guy is? >> yeah. >> who is he? >> he is the former vice president. >> what's his name? >> ron paul? >> what you think he calls his wife? >> darling. something deep and oldish in the nicest way possible. >> what if i told you he calls

her mother? [laughter] >> his wife? mother? >> yep. do you know who this man is? >> he looks familiar, but is that like somebody's husband? >> it is somebody's husband. >> the vice president's husband. >> it's the vice president's husband. >> he's famous. >> what is his wife's name? [laughter] >> kamala anderson. >> do you know who this man is? >> yes. >> who is it? >> joe biden. >> do you want him to be president again? >> no. >> do you think joe biden was a better vice president than mike pence? >> yes. >> do you think mike pence and joe biden look alike or not really? >> a little bit. >> but you wouldn't confuse them. >> no. >> what do you think about that

picture? >> it looks like mike pence. >> do you think they look alike or not really? >> a little bit. >> which one is whiter? >> biden. >> who is this man? >> putin. >> what do you know about him? >> man, he's at war with sweden right now. >> does he look like someone who could be in the space force? >> no. is this [bleep] neil armstrong? >> it is. >> oh, my god, okay. >> he scares me! used to be the vice president! >> what's his name? >> [laughs] i knew it, it's right on the tip of my tongue, i just can't think of it right now. i know you're putting me in the spot right now, but -- >> but what's his name? >> give me the first letter. >> m. >> m?

give me his last name. >> p. >> are you sure? >> doesn't he look pensive and that picture? >> he does. he's pretty cool. he looks kind of mad on that picture right there. >> he looks pensive, right? >> yes he does. >> okay, mp are his initials. >> michael... >> yes. >> penicillin. michael penisson.

[laughter] >> jimmy: you've been here with me but the last in you were here was march 12th 2020, which may ring a bell to some people because it was like the last show we did in the studio for seven months. it was the last -- when covid hit, pete buttigieg was hosting the show and he was -- yes, the host, and i think you guys became friends after that. >> we have, yeah. we see as much of each other as we can. he is a remarkable man. >> jimmy: he did one show and you become his friend. i've done thousands of shows, i have had no contact with you whatsoever. it's interesting. [laughs]

it will be like a cameo type thing where you would show up for dinner if i pay? >> exactly. >> jimmy: we have more in common i feel like then you have with pete buttigieg. what do you talk about? transportation? i mean, come on! >> you know, i don't think we've ever talked about that. one of the things he wants to talk about is "star trek." >> jimmy: "star trek." so it's like an autograph show you've got to go sit there and be questioned about "star trek." >> no, it's -- you know, these surprises continue to happen when you meet someone and as you talk to them there is something weird about the conversation and then you realize it's a fan. and he's a famous guy, he might be a scientist or a writer, or another actor, but he's a fan. i mean, when i learned several years ago that one of our

biggest fans who never missed a show was frank sinatra. >> jimmy: wow! are you kidding me! >> no! i wouldn't do that to you! [laughter] >> jimmy: how did you learn that? >> because my hairdresser -- not a word... [laughter and applause] >> jimmy: that's a good gig. [laughs] >> there's a lot of pressure on jimmy. he has to respond to what i'm saying. thank you. my hairdresser was also frank's wife's hairdresser and he would -- she would, sorry, she would go out to, you know -- >> jimmy: palm springs. >> yes. >> jimmy: okay. i know a lot about sinatra. barbara was his wife, he had a place -- i grew up in las vegas

so i know this stuff. >> did you know frank? >> jimmy: no, i didn't know frank, unfortunately i never got to know frank with the idea that -- i wonder if he sang "fly me to the moon" because of you. i wonder if that had anything to do with it. [laughter and applause] >> all right. all right. he did. okay, that's the deal. [applause] >> jimmy: did you see him? >> one day i said i was about to go down to see my client and i said -- told us what was and she said, and you know what, he watches every single show that we make and loves every moment of it. >> jimmy: did you ever get to meet him or go see him perform or any of those things? >> no. but when i grew up in the '40s, '50s, it was a perfect time for hearing that kind of music, that kind of singing

that kind of talent. i mean, i've heard some odd things about mr. sinatra from time to time, but as a -- you know, i've always thought -- because i've worked for some nasty people over the years. >> jimmy: like who for instance? [laughter] who is that you're having on tomorrow night? >> jimmy: jake gyllenhaal. >> oh! my god! >> jimmy: you have an experience with jake? >> well, where should i start? >> jimmy: [laughs] >> he's a lovely guy. >> jimmy: yes. you have had bad experiences with some of these people. >> i have. >> jimmy: you said it, i'm just recapping. >> that was me, wasn't it? >> jimmy: yeah, that was you. [laughter] >> and yet the work they do is so fine, so sensational that you forgive it again and again and again, maybe they need to be unpleasant, unattractive unappealing, insulting in order

to get the work out because they are all different. >> jimmy: do you have your own rat pack, a gang of famous people that you hang around with and rub elbows with and get hammered -- >> sure. do you want to know a few names? >> jimmy: yeah, who are a few? >> rex weinhard. >> jimmy: the starship gang. >> you recognized. >> jimmy: i recognize their names. >> in fact, just for a serious moment, if we can manage it. >> jimmy: well, we will try. i'm still thinking about your hairstylist, but go ahead.

were you equally excited? was that part of the deal when you signed on? >> come give you little background to this? >> jimmy: please do. >> within weeks of our being together in april, may, 1987. >> jimmy: that's when it started, '87. >> yeah. >> we became a family. it was very important to me -- i had never done a job like that before. i had never worked in hollywood before, but the one thing i knew was -- okay, i was the captain i was flying the ship. but i didn't want to be -- in some senses i know i was the leader of the company, but i continually insisted we are an ensemble. we are not with different degrees of importance. all of that. and that lasted -- one of the

outcomes of that was that we became such close friends, every single one of us. no exception. which is a little rare. >> jimmy: very rare, i would think so. that's not how it happened with the original star trek cast at all. >> really? >> jimmy: quite famously william shatner and george tekei are not friendly. they don't like each other. you know this, don't play dumb with me.

people had lived for 25 years between the end of next generation the start of the show. and we changed in 25 years. and what became clear to jean-luc, who was a little bit sad, a little bit lonely, a little bit disappointed in how things turned out, is that he needed some reliable, trustworthy brave colleagues and he called on them one by one and they came, they showed up. he went to help out the doctor because he was in a real fix. and so we weren't the same people. i'm not the same man i was 27 years ago. >> jimmy: you are still bald. >> i am still -- [laughter] >> jimmy: which is smart, by the way. go bald early and then you never look old. >> you think so? you are so smart. >> jimmy: i appreciate that, i wish you would have me over for

[laughter] >> jimmy: and it became -- i know you are not going to boast about this but it became like -- your cabaret performances have become like this super popular thing that people -- famous people come to see, tons of people. it's like the place to be. who has been to your show to see your show? >> we had a couple of boldface names, gloria steinem and whatnot, but my friend adam -- from the beastie boys. >> jimmy: he's in europe banned? >> he's a founding member. he is currently on sabbatical. there is rock & roll hall of fame in the bridget everett. he would invite a lot of his friends to sort of help me -- i don't know, help me. >> jimmy: yeah. >> anyway, he invited a lot of people and he would just be like just stay away from my friends because it's very interactive and one night he invited ben stiller and the trouble is the vips kind of sit in this area

that is like on the road to oz. i like to go out in the audience and talk to people. i'm like i'm not going to talk to him so i'm just going along and i'm singing my song and i'm like ♪ coming like a cheetah ♪ ♪ when she sees her prey because it's hunting season ♪ ♪ every single day ♪ ♪ and all of a sudden i see ben stiller sitting just right you are and he's looking down at the ground, but his phone is coming up like this. [laughter] and to me, that's an invitation to make a memory. >> jimmy: sure! [laughs] >> so you know, i think i sat on his lap or whatnot and if you've met ben stiller, which i'm sure you have, he's the sweetest person, also a little reserved and i think he was sort of full of shock and awe. but he ended up producing my first comedy special. it was worth it. it was worth it. [applause] >> jimmy: whose lap

celebritywise would you be most excited to sit in? >> it's going to be barry manilow. [laughs] we've got some fans in the house tonight! >> jimmy: does he know this? is he aware of what a big fan you are? >> he does now, where can i look? >> jimmy: he's actually seated in the back. >> my god! us is mike, sorry. feeling i only wish -- have you had an opportunity to express her admiration for him? >> i did go to see barry manilow at radio city music hall. my friend brought me and my sister and we took a picture which is supersweet. there he is and then my sister and then me and we took the picture and she posted on facebook the next day and cut me out. >> jimmy: did she really? she cut you out? >> she's a bigger fan than i am so i can't blame her but it hurt. [laughs] >> jimmy: yeah, that's pretty crazy. and what you want to work with -- what is or -- >> who doesn't want to work with barry manilow? >> jimmy: have you put any of

his songs in your cabaret or karaoke? >> i'm not going to do that, i'm not to touch barry. i did do a tribute show that was just like a little moment in time, it's a time capsule, we just have to let it live there. what i'm hoping is one day i'm on his one more time, one last time tour, always like that he always does the it's my last time and i go every time, get the glow sticks, i'm there. but maybe one day, you know, he will pick me up out of the audience, he will call me up and maybe we will sing like "mandy" together. i don't know. >> jimmy: that would be great. [applause] i tell you something, when i was a kid, i loved mandy but when i was a kid i thought it was old man, i thought he was saying ♪ old man ♪ this old man. >> i like that too! >> jimmy: the last time i saw you we were talking about your mother who had made a video talking about your father's penis, your late father. how is your mother doing? >> she's all right. i mean, i guess she's kind of on

the back nine, is that the best way to say it? sort of. she's -- look, she's got a great sense of humor. and i wanted to make a character on our show that was like my mom, but you wouldn't believe that she's real. you know? obviously she's -- i just saw her last week and trying to get in all the quality time again and i love her so much and she's -- you will sort of just be like dead asleep and then you know, she will just be like mom, do you want to sing a song and she's like no. mom, what about hello dolly? ♪ hello dolly ♪ my favorite thing about my mother is the life lessons that she taught me. >> jimmy: what did she teach you? >> if there's anybody that has a family of here, you can take this to your own children. she said number one, when you go to mcdonald's and you order a mochaccino, you tell them to make it like they make it for themselves. and that's a good one. [laughter] this is very useful. before you go out to dinner make sure you eat a little something so you don't embarrass

yourself. [laughter] >> jimmy: eat dinner before dinner, okay. >> yeah! and then, you know, get into that elastic band life. [laughter] and then there's more my you know, your dad -- you can't trust anybody but yourself. >> jimmy: [laughs] it's great to have you here. your show is great. season two "somebody somewhere," it's on hbo and hbo max. bridget everett, everybody thank you! we will be back with gorillaz!
