dion: thank you so much for watching. i'm dion limb. dan: we appreciate your time. jimmy kimmel, david letterman and tracy >> lou: from brooklyn, it's "jimmy kimmel live!" tonight -- david letterman and tracy morgan. with cleto and the cletones. and now, jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] ♪

>> jimmy: thank you, thank you. thanks. i'm jimmy, the host of this -- hi, thank you. well, very kind. thanks for coming. please, relax. it's embarrassing. [ cheers and applause ] i will tell you, it's -- i really do appreciate it. what at plush it is to be back here on stage at the howard gillman opera house at the brooklyn academy of music in brooklyn. [ cheers and applause ] honestly, brooklyn is -- not only is it one of my favorite places on earth, it's also the name of half the kids at my son's preschool. [ laughter ] my son, by the way, he's 5 years old. we'd been in brooklyn three days, yesterday, he told our daughter that if she didn't stop annoying him, he was "gonna put his middle finger up." [ laughter ] he's really soaking it in.

we haven't been here since 2019. things have changed in three years. back then, the only reason you'd wear a mask in brooklyn is if you were robbing a bodega. [ laughter ] well, now none of you are really wearing masks, are you? everybody's been so welcoming. every day, restaurants will come here and drop meals off for me, like i'm a newly divorced dad or something. [ laughter ] guillermo has been eating like a rottweiler. where is guillermo, by the way? he has not stopped eating -- ♪ [ cheers and applause ] ♪ [ cheers and applause ] ♪ [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: all right. i didn't know you were such a

talented drummer, guillermo. >> guillermo: oh my god, i just learned, i'm real good at it. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: we had a little adventure. after the show last night, guillermo, cousin sal and i headed to metlife stadium for the giants versus the cowboys. guillermo is a big dallas cowboys fan. [ boos ] tell everybody in new york. >> guillermo: i've been a cowboy fan all my life! >> jimmy: he asked me last night to stop saying that. [ laughter ] cowboys beat the giants last night -- [ boos ] while guillermo was was very happy, no one took the loss harder than this guy. >> pressure and a sack, sixth of the night. this time it's dorance armstrong. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: so sad. if only there was a group of other blue men he could talk to and maybe drum with. [ laughter ] honestly, win or lose, covering yourself in blue paint on a monday night is a pretty sad thing to do. [ laughter ] oh!

oh, hey, look at that. [ cheers and applause ] sorry, man. so remember, the important thing to remember is it's only a game. and you didn't play in it. [ laughter ] the traffic going to the stadium last night, it was the worst traffic i think i've been in in my life. it was like we were fleeing the russian military draft. [ laughter ] when we got to the parking lot, it was another hour after we got to the parking lot guillermo spotted a yellow ferrari being driven by -- [ cheers and applause ] one of our guests tonight, tracy morgan. tracy likes to keep it low profile. you know? [ laughter ] he's not ostentatious like some of these l.a. celebrities. tracy is backstage right now, as is david letterman. [ cheers and applause ] you may know, i've spoken a lot over the years about how much i

love dave, the impact he's had on me as a comedian, a talk show host. and dave is here tonight to ask me to stop doing that. [ laughter and cheers ] he's getting uncomfortable. i'm nervous. doing a show with david letterman here is like trying to snake a toilet in front of your plumber. [ laughter ] there's a lot of pressure. when i was a teenager, i never missed a show. cleto and i, we would watch every single night. on my 16th birthday, i had a "late night with david letterman" cake. when i got my first car, i got a vanity plate that said "l8nite." that's my brother there. i lost my virginity on "late night with david letterman" sheets. [ laughter ] i had a very sad childhood. right, blue man? yeah. [ laughter ] so here's a crazy story. you hear about nasa hitting that asteroid? yesterday, nasa went full-armageddon and successfully hit an asteroid with a spacecraft. in what they say is the world's first planetary defense mission. which is exciting news for

everyone other than the space force. they were like, "can't you let us have anything?" [ laughter ] the ship they shot at the asteroid is called the "double asteroid redirection test." d-a-r-t, dart for short. they were going to call it the "first asteroid redirection test." [ laughter ] no, we're going to call it d.a.r.t. d.a.r.t. weighs about 1,000 pounds. which is kind of amazing. two large pigs weigh a thousand pounds. nasa's plan to avoid the annihilation of humankind is basically a reverse "angry birds." [ laughter ] the asteroid, named dimorphos, is part of a binary system with another larger asteroid named didymos, which means twin in greek. neither dimorphos nor didymos posed any threat to earth. but now they know not to get any ideas. [ laughter ] and they're telling their friends. and obviously the folks at nasa were pretty fired up. >> and we have impact!

>> jimmy: i feel like half the reason you take a job at nasa is for the control room standing ovation moment. [ laughter ] these people fired at and hit an asteroid more than 7 million miles away and celebrated with a round of the lamest high fives you've ever seen in your life. [ laughter ] this mission cost $325 million, right around the cost of a 3 bed, 2 1/2 bath in williamsburg. [ rim shot ] >> jimmy: thank you. [ cheers and applause ] i wanted to get focused back on brooklyn. you know, the brooklyn public library has a great program going on called "books unbanned" that provides online access to banned books. [ cheers and applause ] anyone between the ages of 13 and 21, including young people in other states where they're banning kids from reading great books because their parents are stupid. [ laughter ]

some of these states are banning anything that isn't a cheesecake factory menu. in some of these states. [ laughter ] but this is why i love brooklyn. even the librarians are giving the middle finger to these people. the brooklyn public library has had bookmobiles, some are now called "techmobiles," out in brooklyn neighborhoods for 70 years now. now i got my first library card here in brooklyn when i was 2. and so when i got a chance to take a ride around town in the bookmobile, i said, "yes." ♪ >> jimmy: hi, there. >> hi, jimmy. >> jimmy: could you give us a ride to the bookmobile? >> sure. anybody's welcome in the bookmobile. >> jimmy: let me grab my friend real quick. guillermo! >> guillermo: yes? [ laughter ] what do you need, jimmy? >> jimmy: the bookmobile is here. >> hi, guillermo. >> guillermo: oh, man. >> oop! >> jimmy: all right. >> there you go. >> jimmy: there we go. >> guillermo: you never grabbed my butt before. >> are you comfortable?

>> jimmy: yeah, it's like being next to a body pillow. so the idea is that if people don't come to the library, you bring the library to them? >> we bring the library to them. >> jimmy: what about the dewey decimal system? is what worked into the bookmobile? >> yeah, we have to put the books in order. >> jimmy: uh-huh, okay. >> i'm surprised you know about the dewey decimal system, look at you. >> jimmy: you kidding me? what's the worst thing about working in the library? >> some of the patrons that come -- >> jimmy: the ones who are masturbating at the computer? [ laughter ] >> that too. those too. >> jimmy: this is our first stop? i'm excited, guillermo. >> guillermo: me too. hopefully we have good people. >> jimmy: no, i was talking about -- i was thinking about masturbating at the library. [ laughter ] >> guillermo: oh, yeah. >> jimmy: look at this, we've got to get out of here before the equalizer starts shooting. [ laughter ] queen latifah is going to beat us up. >> guillermo: gosh, she's going to be so mad at us, yeah. she's the only queen left. [ laughter and applause ]

>> jimmy: anybody want a book? how are you doing? welcome to the bookmobile. what kind of thing are you interested in? >> fiction. >> jimmy: have you heard of "fifty shades of grey"? >> i've heard of it. >> jimmy: this is a little twist, "fifty shades of gary." [ laughter ] i think you'll find gary to be very titillating. enjoy. what kind of books do you like? >> i have a restaurant. ray's. >> jimmy: it's about time someone named a restaurant ray's in new york. >> this is with a "w." wray. >> jimmy: that must make it impossible to look up. [ laughter ] you like to cook? >> oh, yeah. >> jimmy: oh. you're going to love this. "how to land a top-paying pierogi maker's job." >> exactly what i was looking for. thank you so much, jimmy. >> jimmy: what are you interested in, what types of subjects? >> i read a lot about botany and plants. >> jimmy: botany and plants? >> i'm a history guy.

>> jimmy: history and botany, okay. this one kind of covers both of those things, actually. it's called "how green were the nazis?" [ laughter ] are you married? >> i've been married 28 years, i've been single for seven. >> jimmy: i have the perfect book. "microwave cooking for one." [ laughter ] >> guillermo: that's fantastic. >> jimmy: all right? enjoy. >> thank you. >> jimmy: don't put it in the microwave, though. >> no, i won't. >> jimmy: it's a book. wow, that's a new baby, huh? >> very new. >> jimmy: this is good. it has animals and relaxation, which are both very important. so "if you give a horse a xanax." [ laughter ] yeah, after all that crying. >> jimmy: hi there, how are you? i like your tutu. how old are you? >> i'm 6 years old. >> jimmy: are you a reader? >> yes. >> jimmy: i have a few books, actually, i think you're going to like. this one is called "latonya the naughty horse learns to say no to drugs." [ laughter ] do you like horses? >> yes. >> jimmy: do you like drugs?

>> no. >> jimmy: good, good. [ laughter ] okay, you take that. this one's called "my dad lives in a hotel." [ laughter ] hopefully you won't ever really need that book. and this one is called "pooh gets stuck." [ laughter ] get it? >> uh -- >> jimmy: what does your shirt mean? >> it's my company, eldon's edibles, el's eds. >> jimmy: you make edible marijuana? >> i do. >> jimmy: what have you got, guillermo? >> guillermo: i'm taking a little break. [ laughter ] >> my kind of guy. >> jimmy: you know what, i think i have the perfect book for you. "i can't chew" cookbook. >> i love it. >> jimmy: for people who become so high, they are unable to chew. [ laughter ] >> perfect. >> guillermo: want to take a shot of tequila? >> i do want to take a shot. >> guillermo: go ahead. good, right? >> best book i ever had, guillermo. [ laughter ] ♪ ♪

[ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: wow, boy. it's great to have you here. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy, it's so nice to see you. but mostly it's nice to be on tv, thank you for that. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah. >> by the way, the bookmobile thing's solid. [ laughter ] this must be peabody award season. is that what we're looking at? >> jimmy: you used to have a bookmobile on your show. >> yeah, we did, a bookmobile. >> jimmy: you drove it right on the stage there. >> is that the roger meares family here tonight? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yes, waiting for aaron judge, aren't they? >> i thought they'd be here, sorry. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: that is a funny thing you bring up. every night roger meares' family is in the audience at yankee stadium waiting for their hearts to be broken. [ laughter ] >> i know. thank you. if you have to explain it, it's

really not worth it. [ laughter ] i appreciate it, thank you so much. >> jimmy: how are you doing? how's the family, how's harry? >> harry is my son. and all reports indicate he's okay. i heard someone start to applaud. or did i just mishear that? [ cheers ] what did you have to do with the birth and the raising of the boy? [ laughter ] yeah, he's -- no, they tell me he's in college. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: is that right? >> you've been through that yourself, right? people go through this. the separation of the kid leaving home. and i thought it would be nothing. but it's devastating. am i the only one that feels that way? >> jimmy: no. >> he's been gone a month today. and so we had a truckload of crap to take up to his room. and his room, man. it's -- well, it's not as big as the desk. [ laughter ] and so they say, don't worry

because you're going to have a lot of junk to take up to the room. we'll have graduate students -- not graduate students. upper classmen to help. so we drive up to the college, and there's the upper classmen. and it's, "hey, hey, welcome to college!" i said, "is there a place to --" "no, you've got to go around." i go around the traffic circle. a half hour later, "welcome to college." "i know, i was just at college a minute ago." "go around again." [ laughter ] "hey, welcome to college!" finally find a place to park several acres away. [ laughter ] 96 degrees. and the kid and i then carry a sofa up three flights of stairs. >> jimmy: is that true? >> yeah. is that true? no. [ laughter ] this stuff's got to be true? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: i'll have to check the handbook, i don't know. i don't know if you know this, but i went to college. and when i was there -- >> it's written all over you, jimmy. [ laughter ] everyone's talking about it. [ laughter ]

>> jimmy: i didn't learn anything in college. the only thing i learned was to drink beer out of the pitcher, you didn't need the glass. [ laughter ] >> well, i called him like a week into it. "hi, harry, how's it going?" oh, this, that, this, that, this, that. "harry, have you met the kid yet who sells weed?" [ laughter ] and i'm thinking, oh, this will get a good laugh. harry says, "i cannot confirm or deny." [ laughter and applause ] >> jimmy: oh-oh. >> yeah, oh-oh. i saw you. you were mr. media. by the way -- >> jimmy: thank you. >> thank you for having me on the show, and thank you for being so nice to me. but last night you were on "monday night football." >> jimmy: yeah. >> on there talking to curt gowdy? >> jimmy: no, no, he's gone, he's been gone for years. [ laughter ] it was joe buck. >> joe buck. >> jimmy: yeah.

>> i dropped curt gowdy in there to gauge the age of the audience. [ laughter ] and it's just about what i thought it would be. and then on "the manning show" is tracy morgan. >> jimmy: he was on the manning-cast. >> i'm thinking, wait a minute, he and i are supposed to be on the jimmy kimmel tomorrow night, now i'm starting to get my feelings hurt because i think maybe there's been a meeting scheduled that i wasn't invited to. [ laughter ] now this morning, howard stern. >> jimmy: did you listen to that this morning? >> no. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: can i tell you something? i feel like howard stern is threatened by you. and i feel like howard -- howard and i are very close, i feel like howard is jealous of my admiration for you. i feel like there's something weird there. >> okay. well, let me tell you my view of howard. >> jimmy: okay. [ laughter ] >> i've known howard a long time. a very, very long time. howard used to work at a radio station in the same building

where the late-night show started years and years ago. good lord, 30 years, is it? >> jimmy: yeah. >> in those days, howard was shock jock howard. and i was always afraid of howard. because i didn't want howard to say unpleasant things about me. >> jimmy: right. >> and -- but he did. [ laughter ] and i -- and i kept thinking to myself, this -- he must not have any feelings of his own. because he would say hurtful things. and the more hurtful things he would say, the greater his audience would become. >> jimmy: right. >> so i just thought, i'm in the wrong business here. now, over the years, howard and i have spent some time together. and i've gotten to know howard. and he was such a sweet man to apologize for intimidating me. [ laughter ] it was, "i'm sorry i frightened you." and i got to know him as a completely different guy. and that's the guy that i have

really gotten to be friends with over the years. and i only talk to him about once a year. >> jimmy: uh-huh? [ laughter ] >> that's good. that's plenty. [ laughter ] and the last time it was a mistake. [ laughter ] it was. wow. >> jimmy: how was it a mistake? >> there's comedy everywhere, isn't there? [ laughter ] my phone lights up and there's a beautiful painting, a watercolor. and it's something that howard has done. you must know this. >> jimmy: yeah, he paints. he's a very good painter. >> he paints but it's not like -- not like show business painting. he really can paint. >> jimmy: very detailed. >> it's not like tony bennett painting. [ laughter ] it's actual stuff. and so he's done this in the past. and i keep thinking, i would like to own a howard stern painting. and oh, the other thing that he says, "you know, you could do it." really, i could do it?

"yeah, i could show you a couple of tricks." well, it's not exactly paint by numbers. >> jimmy: no, it's serious painting. >> museum-quality kind of stuff. the phone lights up, there's this beautiful seascape or something, a bucolic scene. and so i text him right back. i said, wow, howard, that's unbelievable. and then when i get home i call him. and he says, "oh, yeah, i sent that to you by mistake." [ laughter ] so i love howard. i just think arm's length may be the way to go here. [ laughter ] [ applause ] >> jimmy: i think that's the case with most relationships. >> you're close with the guy, right? >> jimmy: yeah. >> what did you talk about on the show? someone's screaming. someone screamed "baba booey." [ laughter ] honest to christ, is that the man's legacy? [ laughter ] when they finally put him in the ground, it will be idiots screaming "baba booey." >> jimmy: yes, david letterman

the commissioner now, they're looking at working a contractual deal that will allow you, when you're not playing for the nets, days off, you'll be able to play for the knicks. comments? >> all right, dave, that was the last one. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: that was david letterman pestering kevin durant on his show "my next guest needs no introduction." >> i appreciate that, that was kevin durant. >> jimmy: you and kevin durant, it seemed like you guys kind of hit it off during the show. [ laughter ] >> well. i will tell you what you're experiencing there is not false. because you spend enough time talking to somebody about a wide variety of things and a closeness or a supposed closeness develops between the two. i don't think it will happen with you and me. >> jimmy: no. [ laughter ] >> and i felt that way about kevin. and kevin is an amazing athlete, an amazing human. and fascinating.

and he's always high. [ laughter ] he enjoys -- he told me that the first thing he does when he gets out of bed is he lights up a joint, then he's in business. [ laughter ] yeah. i thought, i have a twin. [ laughter ] so anyway, when we're done talking to kevin, i feel this warmth, this connection, this gratitude of a relationship here. and i go up to him and i say, kevin, you've been great, so generous with your time. this is a year ago, just before basketball season. and i said, i want us to stay friends. because i think we can be friends. and he says, yep, i agree. and we hugged. [ laughter ] so now it becomes opening night. they're opening in boston. playing the celtics. and before tip-off, because i have his text number, i text him, kevin, dave.

why is that sort of amusing? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: his text number? >> is it not a number? >> jimmy: i think they call it a phone number still, like the old days. [ laughter ] >> i'd like to see a phone book, where the hell are they now? i texted him. i say, good luck and have a great game and congratulations on everything. so after the game is over, i get a text back. oh, it's kevin durant. he says, thanks, bro. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: that was it? >> i haven't heard from him since. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: well. at least he thinks of you as a brother. i mean, that's nice. >> yeah, it was good for a while. but how cool would that be if kevin durant and i were hanging around? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: i think you could probably swing it. i think you have to be persistent with kevin, that's all.

i want to mention a couple of things to you, if you don't mind. first of all, when you came to las vegas, your show, many years ago, i was living in las vegas. i was in college. i wrote in letters. i wrote 20 letters to your show, asking for tickets, using the names and addresses of everyone i knew. [ laughter ] and i said, if you get tickets, you have to bring me to the show. i went to all of those shows that week. and now it's very strange to be here with you on this show here. and not just strange, but -- delightful, i would say. [ cheers ] and also -- >> now, i don't mean this to be harsh. but you understand, from my point of view, there may be an element of this that sounds creepy. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: no doubt. there's no doubt about it. so you didn't do this with johnny? >> jimmy: do you want to get kareenier? i waited in an alley -- [ laughter ] cleto and i, because you rented

some sports car in vegas. somebody said," that's david letterman's rental car." we said, it's only a matter of time before david letterman gets in the rental car. hours and hours went by. david letterman never got in that rental car. [ laughter ] we spent most of the day waiting for a rental car waiting for you to get in it. [ laughter ] >> did your folks have anybody talk to you? [ laughter ] because this is aberrant. >> jimmy: so you didn't do this with johnny? >> oh, no. >> jimmy: no? >> johnny scared the crap out of me. >> i feel the same way. >> oh, no. >> jimmy: well -- a little bit, yeah. >> i will say that over the years, and it has been years, no one in show business has been kinder to me than mr. kimmel. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: oh, well. thank you. >> very nice. >> jimmy: i'll tell you more stories, but i feel i would never see you again if i do. [ laughter ]

>> no, it's interesting. because there probably are kids somewhere watching you with the same reaction that you -- >> jimmy: you know what, i've checked around and there aren't. [ laughter ] >> aren't. >> jimmy: i've not inspired anything. and your youtube channel -- this is something that you decided to do or one of your team decided? >> team. team, yeah. >> jimmy: it is the greatest -- >> oh, now stop. get ahold of yourself. [ laughter ] it's just stuff from the old show -- >> jimmy: dave, it's not just stuff. this is stuff that most comedy bits, like the bookmobile thing, do not hold up. [ laughter ] if you take a journey and put your children in front of the computer and watch this show, it is -- it is just great. and in fact today, they posted -- i made a video talking about some of my favorite moments. >> right, i remember that. and thank you very much for

doing that. >> jimmy: it was my pleasure to do it. and i promise you, if you watch it, you'll never watch the show again. [ laughter ] you won't. >> it's absolutely not true. i mean, good for you, and congratulations on everything. >> jimmy: we'll agree to disagree on this one. >> okay, let's just find another topic. >> jimmy: okay. [ laughter ] should we maybe get tracy morgan to drive us around after the show? >> oh, man. you commented how he's in his yellow ferrari. >> jimmy: yeah. >> going down low. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] and he's stuck in traffic. and i just think, well, okay, good, good.
