charged with style. the fully-electric audi q4 e-tron. get exceptional offers at your local audi dealer. does it ring a bell? yeah. >> no, no. watch and find >> lou: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live!" tonight -- oprah winfrey, and music from chromeo. with cleto and the cletones. and now, jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] ♪
11:36 pm
>> jimmy: very nice, thank you. you're very kind. i'm jimmy, i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. thank you for coming. what a -- [ cheers and applause ] well, i tell you something. i'm glad you're fired up. you've picked a very, very good night to be here. the great and powerful oprah winfrey is with us tonight. [ cheers and applause ] just as the prophecy foretold. [ laughter ] it's exciting when oprah is here. everybody is dressed up. everyone is abuzz. the mood, i tell you what. the mood is certainly very different than it was four years ago. four years ago today, we shut down because of covid, which we were calling the coronavirus. as you remember, a lot of businesseses closed. i had to close my brand-new shared-nozzle indoor hookah lounge i took a beating on. [ laughter ]
11:37 pm
remember we were bumping elbows? >> guillermo: yes, i remember, yes. >> jimmy: we were carefully disassembling our doordash deliveries like a bomb squad in "the hurt locker." [ laughter ] one of our producers was ordering sushi and then microwaving it before he ate it. [ laughter ] it was madness. it was harder getting a bottle of purell than it was getting taylor swift tickets four years ago. [ laughter ] it's tough to pinpoint the exact moment when we all realized how serious this was going to turn out to be. for me, this was the moment. when tom hanks and rita wilson got it. i was like, oh my god, if forrest gump can get this, nobody is safe. [ laughter ] now here we are, never washing our hands in the bathroom again, isn't that great? [ cheers and applause ] we still have plenty to worry about. i got a live report on the weather this morning. there were 80-mile-an-hour here in southern california last night. and our chief meteorologist, guillermo -- [ laughter ]
11:38 pm
sent me a text, a video text warning me of just how perilous it was. >> guillermo: good morning. this is so windy here. look, it's so windy, that look, this chair is in the pool. that's terrible. terribly windy here. >> jimmy: oh my god, is the chair okay? it's all right? >> guillermo: yeah. >> jimmy: did you call 911 or you were able to get it out yourself? >> guillermo: i got it myself. >> jimmy: you dried it off, it's all good? >> guillermo: yeah, yeah. >> jimmy: it's a very nice pool for someone who doesn't know how to swim. [ laughter ] >> guillermo: my son use it. >> jimmy: okay. sunday i hosted the oscars. [ cheers and applause ] thank you. i don't have an anecdote, i just wanted the applause. [ laughter ] of all the reactions i received to that, this might be my favorite. this is a little girl named dusty. she lives in brooklyn. and she imitates what i was doing with my hands.
11:39 pm
>> this long and difficult work stoppage out the us that as superficial as it can be, and it's hard as a union town. >> jimmy: now that -- there's your best live action short right there. [ laughter ] thank you, dusty. i also wear a diaper, by the way, it's nice. [ laughter ] speaking of children who watched the oscars, donald trump was in court today -- [ laughter ] for a hearing on one of the four criminal cases he's facing. the fun thing about these hearings is that you don't know if he is going to show up. he doesn't have to come, but he sometimes -- like when you go on a boat, sometimes you see a whale, sometimes you don't. [ laughter ] this is a historic case, not only is it the first time a former president of the united states has been charged with illegally removing and withholding classified documents, it's also the first time a former president used
11:40 pm
classified documents to decorate his bathroom. [ laughter ] trump claims the documents were his to do with as he pleased. but his claim is complicated by the fact that they were not. they were not his to do with. [ laughter ] what's still a mystery is why a bunch of top secret documents were taken by a president who, by all accounts, doesn't read. [ laughter ] [ applause ] much of the focus has been on the judge in this case, judge aileen cannon, whose rulings so far have a hint of favoritism towards trump. trump appointed her to the job. this is like if eddie murphy got hauled in front of judge reinhold. that's a joke for the 50 plus only crowd. [ laughter ] but even judge cannon pushed back on trump's argument that the trial should be dismissed. she said, "it's difficult to see how this gets you to the dismissal of an indictment." can you imagine if she rules against him? i mean, we are going to see nicknames like we have never seen before. [ laughter ]
11:41 pm
maybe trump will just claim it was ai that took the documents. [ laughter ] that's his new thing. trump said when the house democrats showed clips of him appearing to be even more out of it than biden, it was the work of ai. i was wondering when he would start using that excuse. [ laughter ] it took longer than i thought. "that wasn't me on top of stormy daniels, that was ai!" [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] i think it's going to stick. every mistake now he'll claim was ai. eric, don jr. [ laughter ] he said "artificial intelligence was used by them against me in their videos of me. can't do that, joe." which the idea that joe biden did that? [ laughter ] joe biden can't unlock his phone without accidentally taking three pictures, i mean, let's be honest. [ applause ] don't worry about joe biden using ai. worry about us using ai. because we will not use it subtly. we will use it to make you look like a chubby german boy eating pudding by himself.
11:42 pm
[ laughter ] or a human chicken mcnugget. [ laughter ] or the god of diarrhea. those are all available for sale on our website. [ laughter ] and why not? donald trump merchandise is very hot. >> national collectors mint has taken crisp, uncirculated u.s. legal tender, $2 bills, then enhanced them. this $2 bill features president trump's mugshot. in the photo, president trump displays a furrowed brow and a determined gaze, showing he's ready to fight. his inmate number is inscribed below the photo. avoid disappointment and future regret. call now. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: call now. call now! and pay only $20 for a two dollar bill he drew on. [ laughter ] something tells me that even if you call later, they'll still have a few of those available. [ laughter ] donald trump isn't the only dangerous lunatic running for president. i mentioned last night that robert f. kennedy jr. has reportedly whittled his list of running mates down to a handful
11:43 pm
of finalists, including professional quarterback slash conspiracy theorist aaron rodgers. [ laughter ] pamela brown of cnn reported that rodgers confronted her personally after the school shooting at sandy hook and he was complaining that the mainstream media was covering up a false flag operation. which is a disgusting thought to share. and a thought that at least one other person heard him share, too. >> cnn has also spoken with another person, one who would like to remain anonymous in order to avoid harassment, who had a very similar encounter with aaron rodgers, saying that rodgers claimed that, quote, sandy hook never happened. quote, all those children never existed, they were all actors, unquote. when asked about the grieving parents, many of whom i've met, and they and their grief is real, the source recalled that aaron rodgers said, quote, they're all making it up, they're all actors, unquote. >> jimmy: don't you miss the old days when conspiracy theorists
11:44 pm
were just guys who wanted to have sex with big foot and leave it at that? [ laughter ] he knows all the secrets. he's got all the answers. who knew that the smartest man in the world would have a man bun? it's miraculous. [ laughter ] q-aron took to twitter today to post this non-denial denial. he wrote, "as i'm on the record saying in the past, what happened in sandy hook was an absolute tragedy. i am not and have never been of the opinion that the events did not take place." notice he never says he didn't say it to somebody. i hate to do this because i'm not a conspiracy type but i've had my own issues with aaron and i've spent the last couple of months looking into some of this. i think it's time to share something with the world. this is going to shock you. buckle in. [ laughter ] the truth is what the deep state, which is based in green bay, wisconsin, by the way. deep state headquarters is a factory in hobart that makes all the cheese for the pedophile pizza places. [ laughter ] that's another story for another night. what the deep state won't tell you is that aaron rodgers never
11:45 pm
played football. he's not a football player. he faked his entire career. in fact, first time he ever played in an nfl game was last year, the week before his first game with the jets. aaron's body double, the guy who'd played every single game for him before this, died of covid, and they had nobody dumb-looking enough to fill in. [ laughter ] so they had to bring in the real aaron rodgers. and he had to go in and fake an injury on the third play of opening day. that's why he only threw one pass. and you don't have to believe me on this, do your own research. [ laughter ] when you do, maybe you'll notice that the bible says the number 8 represents a new beginning, a new order. [ laughter ] and man's true born-again event when he's resurrected from the dead into eternal life. guess what number aaron rodgers chose to wear when he "played" for the jets? [ laughter ] anyone? anyone? you know? >> guillermo: 8? >> jimmy: 8, that's right. [ laughter and applause ] number 8.
11:46 pm
whoa, wow. that story, by the way, is more believable than what aaron rodgers told people happened at sandy hook. [ cheers and applause ] good going, rfk, excellent choice choice. [ laughter ] the house of representatives yesterday passed a bill that, if approved by the senate, would ban tiktok here in the u.s. or force the chinese company that owns tiktok to sell it to an american company. i think that's probably a good -- i'm inclined to believe that allowing the chinese government into our pockets isn't a great idea. but then tiktok gives us a video like this and makes me wonder if we maybe shouldn't try to keep them around. >> okay, say anna's pregnant. >> anna's pregnant! >> say it again. >> what did you guys say? >> anna's pregnant! >> oh my gosh.
11:47 pm
oh my gosh. yay! >> oh my gosh. >> jimmy: well, congratulations to anna. [ cheers and applause ] but grandma decided she's going to wait to get excited till the baby was born. [ laughter ] here in california, our state legislature is considering a bill that would ban the sale of flamin' hot cheetos in public schools. lawmakers say the dye in snacks like flamin' hot cheetos, takis and doritos could be harmful to developing brains. back in october, our governor, gavin newsom, outlawed the use of red dye 3 in candies like skittles, so he's concerned too. this is the time of year, post-primaries, when we start seeing ads for propositions and our governor, who is a very youthful guy, is especially keen on prop 14. >> a message from the 40th governor of california. >> yo, yo! it's your number one bro, gav giving you the 411 about a
11:48 pm
proposition that's not only important but is also hella rad, proposition 14 for education. hey, go long! there's nothing more important than educating our tiny dudes, little ladies, and all the other ones. that's why prop 14 prepares students for california's ever-changing job market by mandating future forward courses like -- "graffiti appreciation." "feline scientology." "skate park physics." "music fest port-a-potty installation." predatory home lending. "scorpion and tree rat extermination." small batch opium hydroponics. "prison gang mediation." "homeless encampment supply." "uber as a third job." "sex cult leadership." i dabbled in that one myself and it was fun but exhausting. additionally, prop 14 will provide funding to put litter boxes in all public california schools for all the little weirdos who identify as house cats. right on, little weirdo, go
11:49 pm
long! 14 guarantees that no child will ever be offended. under california law, any student dressed like dora the explorer for halloween will have to prove that both of their dads are of hispanic descent. [ speaking spanish ] now, i don't practice santeria, but with prop 14, our kids will. and believe me when i tell you that i got something for your punk ass. so vote [ bleep ] prop 14. swish! [ cheers and applause ] risks paid for by the san bernardino alliance of drag queens. >> jimmy: all right, well thank you, governor. hey, we've got a great show for you tonight. we have music from chromeo, and we'll be back with oprah winfrey so stick around! hi, there. ♪ limu emu ♪ ♪ and doug ♪ hello, ghostbusters. it's doug... ... of doug and limu.

11:58 pm
me. they knew who i was because they were coming to take pictures of me. "oprah, we want the picture with you. we want the picture." then they'd say, "he'll be here, ma'am, he's coming in a half-hour." "no, ma'am, i'm so sorry, he's at a funeral. it's his brother, ma'am. it's going to be a very longs time." >> jimmy: the passport guy? >> the passport guy. i was on the tarmac in sun city. it's not like joburg, a big airport, it's one guy in the booth for the passports. and he is telling me that he can't let me out, but he is bringing all of his friends to take pictures. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: when the plane took off, did you run over your assistant? >> no, i did not. [ laughter ] no i did not. libby, you know -- i didn't even -- shouldn't, "oh, i'm so sorry, i forgot your passport." i wasn't even blaming her, because i should have remembered my passport, too. after the seventh hour, "libby, you should have remembered that passport." [ laughter ] i don't know, libby. >> jimmy: may i show you something? and this is -- this is not a joke of any kind.
11:59 pm
i carry this. i have a special file for all my cards and all that kind of stuff, my passport, all that stuff. >> yeah. >> jimmy: but the first photograph in my phone that i carry in case there's a -- i get in a pinch of some kind is this, because i figure that if the people don't know who i am -- [ laughter ] [ applause ] >> that's funny. >> jimmy: "see, i know oprah." >> let me just say, that's not going to work for you in sun city. >> jimmy: now i fear it's not going to work. >> yeah. another time i was walking my dog in chicago. i was walking my dog sadie in chicago. and i had, like -- you know, no hair or makeup on, just walking down the street. this guy says, "hey, you look like oprah winfrey." i didn't say anything. he said, "i say you look like oprah winfrey." i turned around, "i am oprah winfrey." he said, "you wish." [ laughter and applause ] >> jimmy: that's a nice compliment. >> "you wish." >> jimmy: do you miss a studio audience? do you miss being -- i notice on
12:00 am
your special you did it in front of a studio audience. i don't recall you doing that for quite some time. >> i haven't done it for 13 years. it's 13 years since "the oprah show" ended this may. >> jimmy: wow. >> when i walked into the studios to do that, i had one of those -- it was like -- triggered in a very nice way. i mean, i felt like -- first of all, the audience, and having all the cameras and knowing that you were doing this for broadcast television was really -- it was really a good thing. it felt good. >> jimmy: i know you could have done this -- >> like getting a a bicycle, i can still do it. >> jimmy: i like that you did it on abc, because you don't do much on broadcast. >> no, i haven't done a lot on broadcast. >> jimmy: what was it about this particular topic that made you go, i must talk about this in a primetime situation? >> well, i have had the experience of a lifetime. because back in 2021, i had my knees done. anybody here ever had their knees done? whoo? let's testify! [ laughter ] so for four years, i was in pain every time i walked down a hill,
12:01 am
i was getting those injections in the knees, steroid injections. but as you know, if you continue to get them, it actually gets worse. you don't improve, you get worse. so i decided to have my knees done. and let me tell you, life changed! [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: yeah, it worked. >> life changed after that. and when you first come home -- i could not lift my leg off the bed. i couldn't move my foot. and i made a vow that if god -- god, if you let me walk again, i promise i will get myself in shape, i promise i will use my body to the highest possible good for myself and my health. >> jimmy: wow. >> and that's how it all started. so i started like, you know, not being able to -- first of all, you start out with a walker. >> jimmy: uh-huh? >> which is very limiting. and then i moved from walker to crutches to cane. and then every day i would just try to do a couple more feet, a couple more feet, a couple more feet until i got up to a mile. the first time i did a mile, it took me almost two hours to
12:02 am
finish a mile. every day i would try to do a little more, a little more. and i was not eating past 4:00 and watching all the right meals. i felt like i had to do it my way and had to prove that i could do it on my own. even though i was hearing all along people talking about the medications. i felt like -- i've gotta do it. >> jimmy: yeah, right. >> you know? i did a show or a conversation on oprahdaily.com where i do my -- a lot of my work and stories. it's "oprah" magazine turned digital. i talked to a lot of doctors who, for the first time i got when they said, obesity is a disease. obesity is a disease. it is not a disease for everybody who's overweight. it is a disease if you carry the gene or the propensity for the adipose gene or the fat gene. not everybody who drinks is an
12:03 am
alcoholic, but if you have the gene for it, you develop alcoholism. it is the same thing with people who have obesity. not everybody who eats a lot and shows up with extra weight has that gene or carries that propensity. but because it's a big spectrum, it's a spectrum just like everything is a spectrum. but if you do carry it, you will always, always put the weight back on. and so when i realized that -- you've seen -- you all have seen. i've been in the struggle. i've been in the storm of losing the weight, gaining it back. losing the weight, gaining it back. and what i realized when i listened to what the doctor said, that you are always going to put it back on, and it's like holding your breath underwater and trying not to rise. you're always going to rise. >> jimmy: when you talk to --
12:04 am
does god ever call you and ask you for stuff? [ laughter ] >> no, god doesn't. god doesn't call and ask me for stuff. i will say this. i have an extra spare bedroom for jesus. >> jimmy: you do.

[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: so nobody can say -- >> nobody can say, she's doing
