[ cheers and applause ] ♪ ♪ ♪ >> jimmy: thank you for joining us on a big day, a day of much self-congratulation here in hollywood. it is oscar nomination day. [ cheers and applause ] the oscars, of course, are our chance to honor all the great movies we watched on television. [ laughter ] the big winner nominations-wise, was "the power of the dog." "the power of the dog" got 12 nominations. one for every person who saw it. [ laughter ] the best picture nominees were -- "power of the dog" -- "west side story" -- "cold night's running" -- "midnight nocturne" -- "cable car 29" -- "dune" -- "my name is ezekiel" -- and "gazebo 953." okay, half of those i made up. [ laughter ] the question is which half? we'll never know. as always, there were snubs. and i don't want no snubs.

you know, snubs are -- [ laughter ] lady gaga was a surprise no-mination. she did not get nominated. but the biggest snub today, in my opinion -- and i'm actually even angry about this, i'm kind of embarrassed to say -- is the unforgivable omission of "spider-man: no way home." [ laughter ] how did that not get one of the ten nominations for best picture? there are only 11 movies made this year. [ laughter ] forget the fact that this movie has made $750 million and is still going. this was a great movie. it wasn't in the top ten best movies of the year? there were three spider-men in it! [ laughter ] one of them was andrew garfield, who is a best actor nominee! [ cheers ] benedict cumberbatch played doctor strange, he's another best actor nominee. you're telling me "don't look up" was better than "spider-man?" it most certainly was not. [ laughter ] even if you go by the critics' reviews on rotten tomatoes, "don't look up" among top critics got a 46. "spider-man" has a 90! for god's sake, "jackass forever" has an 89! [ laughter ]

when did we decide that the best picture has to be serious? as far as i know, this was not the point of feature film when they started making them. "ben hur," chariots and leprosy. [ laughter ] "frankenstein," a monster powered by lightning. "fantasia," mickey mouse on an acid trip. [ laughter ] "the wizard of oz," flying monkeys and a witch. those are great, oscar-worthy movies. now, there's nothing wrong with a serious movie. a lot of them are fantastic and worthy of oscars. but why do they have to be serious? when did that become a prerequisite to get nominated for an academy award? here's what happened. you want to know what happened? the academy voters looked at the list, saw the names leo dicaprio and meryl streep, checked the box. then they put their kids in the car and went to see the movie "spider-man." and they loved it. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] but they didn't vote for it. we may need to get doctor strange to go back to time to fix this. [ laughter ] i mean, my god. nicole kidman can't even shoot webs out of her wrists!

[ laughter ] speaking of great acting, you want to see something funny? >> we've all heard about the fine print in this country. no one reads the fine print. the fine print shouldn't be a reason that someone is more likely to have to endure sexual harassment in the workplace or, more likely, to evade consequence as a result of predatory behavior. >> jimmy: what if the predator is inside the house? of representatives? [ laughter and applause ] how great would it be if chris hansen walked in right at that moment and took him away? [ laughter ] we are getting new information on the documents and items our former predator-in-chief grabbed inappropriately -- [ laughter ] -- on his way out the door. last night, i mentioned that trump took 15 boxes of official white house materials back to mar-a-lago. which is against the law. apparently, his exit was very rushed, he was like ray liotta at the end of "goodfellas." [ laughter ]

the report says trump also swiped at least one item of clothing. i didn't know you had to leave the clothes behind. [ laughter ] there were no details on what it was, maybe a gift, i don't know. odds are it was either a bomber jacket from putin, a fur coat the saudis gave him, or maybe he stole one of lincoln's hats out of the bedroom, i don't know. [ laughter ] whatever he took, if ever there was a guy who steals a bathrobe from the hotel, it's donald trump. [ laughter ] according to the "new york times," maybe the most interesting memento he tried to pinch was that map of hurricane dorian. the one he marked up with a sharpie? [ laughter ] to change the direction of the storm? he took that home. [ laughter ] remember when dan quayle misspelled the word "potato" and we made fun of him for 30 years? little did we know, we'd one day have a president whose brain is potato. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] why he took it, i do not know. it seemed like that was one of the few genuinely embarrassing moments for trump. he got very defensive about it.

he probably took it home to flush it down a gold-plated toilet. [ laughter ] of course that's if he took it. i've seen conflicting reports. the "times" says he took it. but i found this story that clearly says he didn't. [ laughter ] so now i don't know what to believe. that map was among the many documents the national archives had to go to mar-a-lago to take back. i don't know which i love more, the fact that he kept that map, or the fact that it's now in the national archives so future generations may gaze upon its awesome stupidity. [ laughter ] i mean, i wish they would sell that. i would pay a lot of money to have that hanging in my home. i really would. [ laughter ] trump has been busy trying to make a buck off his supporters. he sent out this email, hoping, i guess, to cash in on the olympics. "the winter games have started and i need to make something clear. there are a lot of things wrong with china. i was tough on them as your president, and i always will be. however, i am proud to support america's olympians who represent our nation with the utmost respect. in a time when the woke mob

wants to cancel everything they do not agree with, it's more important now than ever --" i don't know what this has to do with the olympics but he goes on. [ laughter ] "i know i can always count on you, which is why i'm inviting you to become an official trump gold member. only a limited number of patriots are invited to become trump gold members. and you are one of them. please contribute any amount immediately to stand with me and to become a trump gold member." and what an offer this is, because as a gold member you get nothing. [ laughter ] you don't even get this medal they put on the email. all they do is add your name to trump's "gold membership roster." they put you on "swindler's list," if you will. [ laughter ] in exchange for your money. meanwhile, the athletes trump is proud to support are doing battle in beijing. the u.s., we've won no gold medals so far. canada has one. so worse comes to worst, we just go up and take theirs. [ laughter ] the big controversy yesterday was in ski jumping. five athletes, including the top contenders, were disqualified

for "outfit violations." apparently these suits were too baggy. they kicked them out of the games. i guess suits like that give the skiers an advantage, like a flying squirrel, as they soar through the air, i don't know. [ laughter ] how do they disqualify these skiers for outfit violations, when norway's curling team is wearing this? [ laughter ] now that is an outfit violation! but people love it. [ applause ] the norweigan men's curling team gets a lot of attention for their pants. there's a lot of anticipation about what this year's pants will look like. will look like. they'll be revealed during their first event against switzerland tomorrow. here are some examples of their pants from the past. [ laughter ] they look like curtains in a serial killer's motel room. [ laughter ] they're crazy. crazy-looking pants. full-on clearance rack at tj maxx pants. [ laughter ] now those i would wear. that would be good for the fourth of july.

there's a woman named virginia, who is such a big fan of the pants, she's posted a norwegian "pants cake" online. [ laughter ] which sounds like a euphemism for having an accident on a fishing boat. "oh no. i made a norwegian pants cake." take me home. [ applause ] meanwhile, back lear in the united states this is the kind of competition we've got going. this showdown took place right here in california. it isn't an olympic event yet, but i hope the ioc puts it on the list. >> this week, 27-year-old competitive eater reyna huang was pitted against lettuce-loving giant rabbit honey megabunny in a salad-eating contest. >> with pounds of chopped salad, in front of them, each competitor had ten minutes to put their eating skills to the test. huan fwshgs finished 3 1/2 pounds of salad while honey ate none. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: poor honey, he ate none.[ laughter ] >> jimmy: poor honey, he ate none. you'd lose your appetite too if you had to sit next to a crazed woman guzzling pepsi and shoveling arugula in her face. [ laughter ] things are looking up on the omicron front. cases are down across the

country, which means things could slowly get back to normal. [ cheers and applause ] until the next highly contagious variant comes along and we start over. i feel like omicron and wordle have had the same viral arc. [ laughter ] the lower rate of infection now is causing some schools to start lifting mask mandates, despite medical experts telling them it's too soon. well, if there's anything americans are good at, it's ignoring what the experts tell us to do. [ laughter ] we're experts at that. kids will be happy, i guess. although, have you noticed it's never the kids complaining about the mask? it's always an adult with a short haircut on the sides and a little too much on top and in the back. [ laughter ] they also might be easing up on the masks at the super bowl. you know, this game is historic. it's the first time l.a. has ever hosted a super bowl. and a wildly contagious virus at the same time. [ laughter ] officials here in l.a. county

are having so much trouble enforcing mask rules at outdoor venues, they're thinking of just dumping them altogether. right now, the rule is you must wear a mask at sofi stadium, unless you're actively eating or drinking. which is what 100% of the fans are doing 100% of the time. [ laughter ] basically, the only people at the stadium who will be penalized for face masks are the players. [ laughter ] they're saying that this year's super bowl is going to be the most heavily bet on game ever. the american gaming association said we're expected to bet over $7 billion on sunday. so keep that in mind next time your kid asks your co-worker to buy girl scout cookies, and they claim they have no cash. [ laughter ] some people still disapprove of gambling on sports. but i think it can actually be a learning experience for kids. like, if the rams don't cover the spread, you're going to community college, son. [ laughter ] if you are betting and want insight, we found a pair of dogs, little pugs. their names are ella and petunia. they have been on our show six times now. they're 6 for 6 picking winners, 100%. tonight, our nostra-dog-musses are going to try to keep their streak alive. we reached out to their owners, leon and pat, who agreed to let

these prognosticating pugs make another pick for us. and here they are now. from eugene, oregon, please welcome ella and petunia! [ laughter ] [ applause ] hello there. hi, ella and petunia, thanks for joining us again. ella, petunia? [ laughter ] we're wondering if we could get your pick for the super bowl. you like the rams or you like the bengals? if so, home -- oh, boy. all right. well. [ laughter ] [ applause ] maybe later. never gets old, really, does it? while the rest of the country is freezing their petunias off, it's going to be 88 degrees here tomorrow in l.a. [ cheers and applause ] what better time to rub it in with a parade of navels? one of our most cherished traditions -- our 15th pedestrian belly flop competition. [ cheers and applause ] that is the pool into which our

floppers will be flopping. that is in the back of our building. this is my cousin sal in front of hollywood boulevard. hi, sal. >> sal: jimmy, hold on. i need to know, did that one dog come up for air? rams or bengals? >> jimmy: the dogs didn't say but we'll check in with them postcoital. sal's a big gambler. sal and i will be presenting at the nfl honors show, here on abc thursday night. [ cheers and applause ] sal's first awards show? >> sal: first and definitely last. >> jimmy: definitely last. do you have any floppers for us on the boulevard? >> sal: i do. >> jimmy: let's meet them. hi there, what's your name? >> phil. >> jimmy: where are you from? >> brooklyn, new york. >> jimmy: of course. [ cheers and applause ] there you go. you live here in l.a.? >> yeah, i been here a long time, jimmy. >> jimmy: you know what's going on back in brooklyn, you know what's happening here? >> oh, yeah. i lived in vegas, too, for a while. >> jimmy: beautiful. i feel you've been following me. >> same thing.

[ laughter ] >> i think they'll be very excited. >> they will, all right, very good. you just follow phil right through the door there. all right, all right. we'll end right there. [ laughter ] sal, round up a few more floppers and send them in through the commercials, all right? >> sal: you got it. >> jimmy: all right. when we come back we've got celebrity judges and we're going to have some very pink bellies in our 15th pedestrian belly flop competition. stick around!

truly, every single person. >> jimmy: you care more about the movie dogs than the movie people. >> that's it, truly. every single person they've made a dog movie, "i'm not going to see it unless you tell me the dog lives." [ laughter ] i'm like, don't you not want to know the end movie? "no, i want them to live." it's a good ending, so everyone knows. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: you might be the first guess who's ever come out and told the ending of his movie. [ laughter ] >> i'm over it now. don't not see the movie just because you're afraid of the dog -- yeah. >> jimmy: have you work the with a dog extensively before? >> not extensively. every single time that i have worked with an animal, it's gone horribly awry. >> jimmy: you decided why not do a full film? >> yeah, i'm a smart person. no, we do a cohen brother movie, and all the dog had to do is bark at the end of my line. six hours, the dog wouldn't bark. [ laughter ] any kind of a motion that it

looks like barking. wouldn't do it. >> jimmy: i remember, that was a great scene. the dancing in the thing. >> yeah. >> jimmy: yeah, right, yeah. >> silly. i was actually talking to this director, such a great guy -- j you co-directed this movie? >> yes. when we were trying to decide what we were going to direct >>. when we were trying to decide what we were going to direct first, we told this director, we're thinking about directing this. he's like, oh, man, any time you need -- like conviction i'll help with anything, i've done this a long time. what's your story? well, it's me and a dog and a road trip. he's like, oh, don't do that. [ laughter ] just don't do it. we're kind of like, we're kind of already doing it. he's like, really, just don't do that. [ laughter ] any story but that. >> jimmy: did you get that feedback from more than one director? >> yeah, definitely. >> jimmy: are these famous directors we would know? >> yes, soderbergh is one of them. [ laughter ] a lot of them that you'll know that are smarter than we are.

>> jimmy: they were wrong in this case. >> yeah, truly. >> jimmy: i hope they'll admit that to you. >> soderbergh will never admit he's wrong to me, i don't care. if the movie does well i'll be, ha ha! again, the dog lived. >> jimmy: how do you direct a dog? a lot of peanut butter? >> yes, lots of treats. they're hyper-motivated. these dogs specifically, malnoise, belgian malnoise are work dogs, they love it. >> good as far as dogs to work with. oh, excuse me, we have belly floppers coming through. hi, guys.

amanda seyfried, i think. >> jimmy: she bit you, okay. >> i'm almost positive she bit me, yeah. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: you were doing -- tell me if i have this right. you're doing something with draft kings? >> yes. >> jimmy: where you're intentionally getting bitten by the dog? >> yeah, this was also a very stupid idea of mine. it was one of those things where you don't want to keep doing the same press. i was like, what if we -- trying to come up with super bowl-type things. what if i just get in the bite suit and we partner with a betting company like draft kings. we'll just set the dog loose and see if i can get to the end zone. >> jimmy: what can people bet on exactly? whether you score or not? >> i think what yard line i get mauled on. [ laughter ] does the dog take me dog? >> jimmy: uh-huh? >> what i'm wearing. whatever. then do i make to it the end zone? >> jimmy: will you be smeared in meat or anything? [ laughter ] >> weirdly, you don't need it. the dog loves the bite suit. it's like the most fun for her

to get to maul me. >> jimmy: you love this dog, huh? >> she's a good dog. >> jimmy: i know you have another project coming out, and we're going to actually -- we have an exclusive clip from that right here, take a look. >> she won't work with anyone. one minute she's good, the next minute she's sending three guys to the e.r. who let the dogs out? ♪ ♪ who let the dogs out?
