wonderful weekend ♪ sit down. did you bring the money?

>> you can count it. >> we trust you. >> so, what happens now? >> you go home. >> that's it? >> that's it. >> i just -- i can't have this coming back to me. i have a family. >> you go home. you have a nice dinner. you kiss your wife. do whatever the [ bleep ] you do on a normal friday night. and you let us take care of it. >> okay, you sure? >> we're sure. >> who's the mark? >> oh. him. [ laughter ] i need you to make sure he -- buys the zoo. [ laughter ] if you know what i mean. >> we'll do this one for free.

[ cheers and applause ] >> lou: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live." tonight -- george clooney. kaitlin olson. and special guest oprah winfrey. plus music from the smashing pumpkins. with cleto and the cletones. and now, jimmy kimmel!

[ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: hi, there. hi. i'm jimmy, i'm the host. thanks for watching. thank you for coming. oh man, oh man, you picked a very good night to be here. this show tonight, by the end of the hour, i think you will agree, is the supermoon of television shows. george clooney, we already saw brad pitt, kaitlin olson, music from the smashing pumpkins, and we have one more tremendous surprise for you too. [ cheers and applause ] you won't be disappointed. speaking of smashed pumpkins -- you know, i'll get to trump later. [ laughter ] the big news last night was diddy got arrested. did you see this? this is definitely not a morning you want to wake up "feeling like p diddy." sean combs is in custody in new

york where he was indicted on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. according to prosecutors, p. was head of "a criminal enterprise" that included, among other things, forced labor, kidnapping, bribery, and arson. he plead the not guilty today. his lawyer said "he's going to clear his name" and you know he a lot of them to clear. [ laughter ] many of the charges center around wild parties he referred to as "freak offs." >> they also seized evidence of the freak offs. electronic devices that contain images and videos of the freak offs with multiple victims. and they seized cases and cases of the kinds of personal lubricant and baby oil that combs' staff allegedly used to stock hotel rooms for the freak offs, more than 1,000 bottles altogether. >> jimmy: more than 1,000 bottles of lubricant? [ laughter ] they won't be able to keep him behind bars, he'll slip right out! [ laughter ] [ applause ]

i mean, what a trip to cvs that is. the charges in the unsealed indictment are very serious. but each time they reference the defendant, it goes like this. "sean combs, a/k/a "puff daddy", a/k/a "p. diddy", a/k/a "diddy", a/k/a "pd", a/k/a "love", that's six guys. in one jail cell together. [ laughter ] the judge denied bail -- ruling diddy to be a flight risk, which means he will be detained for the duration of the trial. in the meantime, he's getting his character references lined up. >> i'm a very strict and focused businesswoman, because working for diddy for six years trained me to have to be perfect. >> working for diddy? >> absolutely. >> i love diddy. [ laughter ] >> i love diddy. >> he's a good friend of mine, he's a good guy. is he a good guy? >> i don't want to answer that question. >> well, i think he's a good guy, i'm going to stick up for him. >> jimmy: well. to be fair, he also thinks kim jong-un is a good guy. [ laughter ]

only the best people. last night, with less than two months before an election, in which he's asking america to make him president again, donald trump took a break from protecting our geese -- [ laughter ] to launch a new trump cryptocurrency. world liberty financial is the name. they say they're legit, they're working with the top security experts in the world, including zokyo, fuzzland, peckshield -- and other top companies with names that sound like sex toy manufacturers. [ laughter ] the guy behind this is a gentleman named chase herro who calls himself "the dirtbag of the internet," and i don't know if you've seen the internet, but there's some stiff competition for that title. [ laughter ] but if there is one thing that's clear, it's that when it comes to this new digital currency, donald trump really knows his stuff. >> why is it important for america to lead in cryptocurrency adoption and innovation? >> well, it's crypto. it's a.i. it's so many other things. you know, a.i., speaking of an interesting future, it needs

tremendous electricity capability. and china's already building electric plants. and they want to build them for, you know, for the a.i. and it's very important. so you want to get in, whether it's crypto or a.i. or other things that are coming along, and it's part of the game. >> jimmy: in other words, he has no clue. [ laughter ] he has no idea. all he knows about crypto is he's getting money from it. the trumps will get paid for promoting this crypto, but according to bloomberg, the platform isn't "owned, managed, operated or sold" by any of them, which is something i look forward to hearing them say repeatedly in four years when this gets them all arrested. [ laughter ] maybe the weirdest part of this whole thing is that trump's youngest son barron, has been named their "defi visionary." that's right. their "visionary" graduated high school three months ago. [ laughter ] which i have to admit is impressive. my dad would never have trusted me to run one of his criminal enterprises when i was that age. [ laughter ] this family is amazing. the way they all chip in, each one has a speciality.

barron does crypto. ivanka does fashion. don jr. handles the campaign and eric eats elmer's glue. [ laughter ] they're all so talented. don jr. spoke during the announcement last night, even though he's been very busy. the fraudigal son was photographed at a bar in palm beach, canoodling with a woman who is not his fiancee. djtj is enged to kimberly guilfoyle -- but i guess the orange doesn't fall far from the tree. [ laughter ] because this is don jr. having lunch with a socialite named bettina anderson. you can see their sexual chemistry is -- [ laughter ] i mean, look at how she scrolls through her phone while he uses two hands to squeeze a lemon in his iced tea. [ laughter ] it's almost pornographic. and who can blame a lady for being hot for a guy like that? the way he wears his sunglasses on his hat? that chin? it's like michelangelo himself carved him out of pudding. [ laughter ] of course, any -- these stories about them kissing at the table are rumors and nothing more than rumors.

and he doesn't need to be bothered with this stuff, he has important things to worry about. like blaming democrats for the attempts on his father's life. >> the media and political left must immediately stop their dangerous rhetoric of blaming president trump for the assassination attempt on his own life. that's not what's happening at all. every notable democrat out there is doing this on a daily basis. they've done it for years. that's why some of these morons and low-lives get radicalized. they think it's their permission slip to go and kill someone who's literally worse than hitler, someone who's the greatest threat to democracy ever, someone who's going to stay in power forever. even though he left last time. i mean, minor details like that. >> jimmy: yeah, minor details like that. [ laughter ] i don't know. sounds like someone did an extra bump of starbucks this morning. [ laughter and applause ] i mean, he is wild.

i don't know if you noticed, but his use of the air quotes lately is off the charts. >> there's less of that traditional, you know, sunday paper that everyone kind of used to read. so the number of reported crimes are down. my dad needs to be eliminated. and these are the same people lecturing us about civility. remember civility? nbc news called it a golf club incident. someone who's the greatest threat to democracy ever. someone who's going to stay in power forever. someone who's literally worse than hitler. >> jimmy: those aren't just air quotes. those are his two best friends. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] daddy donald has been caught in the rumor windmill, too. there has been much speculation about the nature of his relationship with frequent travel companion, a q-caliber loon named laura loomer who wants to make it very clear, that she is not a concubine to donald trump! >> as kamala harris likes to say, they ain't like us. right? she ain't like me. i ain't like her. i don't suck [ bleep ] to get to the top.

that's what kamala harris does. >> jimmy: i guess those are the traditional conservative family values we hear about so much. [ laughter ] crazy as this laura loomer is, trump and j.d. vance, they are staying on top of nutjob mountain with this nonsense about haitians in ohio eating pets. they have now repeated this lie so much, a lot of their supporters think it's true. they did a poll. yougov found that more than half trump voters believe the pet-eating story is definitely or probably true. [ laughter ] which makes me wonder about the other half. [ laughter ] the half of trump voters who don't believe it. they're still voting for him? how can that be? i will tell you with certainty that if kamala harris told me mexicans were eating chimpanzees, she would not get my vote. [ laughter ] but trump -- he's now blaming these people for eating every animal on the farm. ♪ old mcdonald had a farm ♪ ♪ bing bing bong bong bing ♪ ♪ on that farm they're eating

>> i don't remember, something with lemons. the lemon was the culprit. >> jimmy: right-handed or left-handed? >> i'm left-handed. it's just the pinky, who needs it?

fell down the stairs on his way up. and rob jumped out of his seat and helped him up. when he got to the top, the guy still wasn't okay, so rob walked him all the way out onto the stage to accept the emmy and stood there. >> jimmy: holding the guy. >> holding the guy the entire -- with his head down, like i'm not part of this. [ laughter ] holding him. then at the after party everybody was like, "so how is rob affiliated with jeopardy!?"

>> jimmy: d.j. vance. >> d.j. vance. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: not to be confused with the man running for vice president whose name is j.d. vance. >> no, not at all to be confused. >> jimmy: if you have any -- a hint of kind of dyslexia or confusion, you might be confused. >> you might mistake them. that was a delightful day for me when that running mate was announced, yeah. i retweeted a picture of my character and her tagline. "what a [ bleep ]." [ laughter ] >> jimmy: uh-huh, yeah, yeah. >> which i thought was very appropriate. >> jimmy: you guys did -- you and rob were at the televised emmys. you did a -- you presented together. you did a bit that compared -- rob's part compared meryl streep to a jock strap. >> yeah.

suspect is actually a victim, and it all goes from there. she ends up working with the police and helping them solve crimes. >> jimmy: she's able to make connections that most people are not able to -- >> she's able to see things they're missing based on her -- just experience and just different thinking. yeah. and they make a -- >> jimmy: in the episode, she said that all churches face east. >> did you know that? >> jimmy: is that true? >> it's true. >> jimmy: all churches face east? >> or -- i don't know, ask my writers.

[ laughter ] >> jimmy: have you had an iq test? >> no, no. i -- in -- don't laugh, what are you laughing at?

talented and gifted program. in the fourth grade, that's not a great thing. because you're just taken out of your classes, basically just to have like an arrow, "weirdo." >> jimmy: oh, really? >> well, yeah. they would eat lunch at a different time. they would have different classes. >> jimmy: there was a smart table at lunch? >> there was a smart table, yeah. >> jimmy: interesting. >> the dumb kids felt better about themselves by looking down on the smart table. >> jimmy: i see. i see. but you were not in that group? >> i did get tested, and they were like, "you're good to stay in your normal class."
