jeff bridges and william stanford davis have a great night in stereo.

>> lou: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live!" tonight -- jeff bridges. william stanford davis. and music from sting. with cleto and the cletones. and now, jimmy kimmel! [ cheering and applause ] ♪ ♪ >> jimmy: hello. i'm jimmy. i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. thank you for coming. thank you for joining us. i hope you had a peaceful, maybe even tranquil and harmonious weekend. is that even possible anymore? did you have a good weekend, guillermo? >> guillermo: yeah, i didn't do anything. >> jimmy: okay. i tell you what, it was a relaxing weekend for joe biden. joe biden is in what they call the lame duck phase of his

presidency. and he's got no ducks left to give. the president and first lady went to the beach this weekend in delaware. and for those democrats who've been moaning that he should have stayed in the race, i give you this terrifying stroll on the beach. it's possible he is wearing his wife's jeans. i don't know. he is walking like a dog that has never experienced sand before. joe biden and donald trump are scheduled to meet in the oval office on wednesday. trump wants joe's advice on which couches to hide from j.d. vance. president biden has vowed to ensure a smooth and peaceful transfer of power. but that's not how trump does it. according to the presidential transition enhancement act, the which i didn't know existinged, the incoming president has to sign a pledge that says he will avoid conflicts of interest and other ethical concerns while he is in office, which is hilarious. i mean, it's like asking a bear to sign something promising to

protect the salmon. team trump has surprisingly missed multiple deadlines for signing this dating back to september 4th. of course he's being difficult about signing an ethics pledge. because he is not going to behave ethically. this is the white house version of charlie brown trying to kick the football. the same thing happens over and over again. this law that he is bending was signed into law by him. he's breaking his own law, which was definitely a bucket-list item. listen, once you start selling your fans nfts of yourself dressed like a sheriff, it's very hard to stop. trump's team says they intend to sign the pledge, but come on. it's been ten years. we still haven't seen his tax returns. we have heard his penis described in excruciating detail. we still don't know how many departments he claims. we are starting to learn the names of the cabinet secretaries who will soon be hired and then fired by trump. and it's a real cast of no character. former congressman lee zeldin of

new york is trump's pick to lead the environmental protection agency. according to the league of conservation voters, out of 26 house representatives from new york, lee zeldin had the worst record on environmental issues by far. so he'll be in charge of protecting the environment. trump's new immigration czar is tom homan, who looks like he's kicking immigrants out of the country in this photo. homan is the guy who came up with the family separation policy that had children being ripped from their parents' arms and who really said "they ain't seen [ bleep ] yet. wait until 2025." homan will be joined by this creature, deputy white house chief of staff stephen miller, who once said of immigration, "this is all i care about. i don't have a family. i don't have anything else. this is my life." steve miller is now married, with three kids, but he is still a steaming pile of bum vomit. who will for sure do the wrong thing. and then we have campaign manager susie wiles, who will be trump's chief of staff, which

has the gang at fox news so excited, they can barely keep their pants on. >> this is what we know about her. so susie wiles is obviously the campaign co-chair for trump's 2024 campaign, which was just a wild sex -- wild success, excuse me. >> jimmy: hey, now, no excuse necessary. we're all having a lot of unprocessed emotions right now. [ applause ] and who wouldn't be excited by a silver-haired vixen in a sensible brooch. but trump isn't appointing comic book villains to run the government on his own. he's been getting a lot of help from the richest man in the >> world. >> musk has been seen at mar-a-lago nearly every single day since trump has won. they were seen on the patio, on the golf course together. musk has been in the room when world leaders have called trump, and tonight we learned he is also weighing in on staffing decisions, making clear his preference for certain roles. >> jimmy: he's picking out outfits for trump to wear. he's been personally applying his bronzing cream. what a cute couple. look out melania, trump's got a

new squeeze named elonia musk. [ applause ] and i have to say, this is -- elon must be so excited. trump is just handing him the -- it's like letting dracula drive the bloodmobile. i've been seeing a lot of gloating from a number of celebrity republicans. you know these guys who have been trying to use the maga status to get famous again, to get the lead in a direct to video movie about jesus machine gunning child molesters or something. and their overall theme when it comes to me is "you in your bubble have no idea what american families go through." which is amusing, seeing how every one of these "american family" advocates has kids who won't talk to them, not to mention the fact that they've not had a real job in 40 years. but they want me to say their names on tv because no one else does anymore, especially now that trump won, they have nothing. they've got nothing to whine about other than their careers which no one cares about,

because if they did, there would be a "deuce bigalow 5," okay. so now, the move is to say "quit whining about the election, you baby, you lost. which, again, feels very at-odds with what happened after the last election when a guy dressed wearing viking horns stormed the capitol and his friends spread their feces on the walls. that's beyond whining. that's just poor sportsmanship. and then we have the always-delightful donald trump jr., who re-posted this sound, a video mocking president zelenskyy of ukraine, with the caption "pov you're 38 days from losing your allowance." which are bold words from a man who is definitely still on his father's phone plan. if i was donald trump jr., i wouldn't ever use the word "allowance" in any situation. what is his job again? is being horrible an occupation? and zelenskyy, this guy is fighting for the survival of his people against vladimir putin,

and little donny tooth caps is making fun of him for it. a man who has led ukraine through the darkest times imaginable, who loves his country so much, he's willing to sacrifice his dignity to save it. look at this tweet he posted after the election. "i had an excellent call with president @realdonaldtrump and congratulated him on his historic landslide victory. his tremendous campaign made this result possible. i praised his family and team for their great work." i told him that his testicles were the biggest and fullest of hard-swimming semen, like two of our famous ukrainian watermelons. poor guy. trump himself has not been seen for a few days. but he must have been watching football this weekend, because last night he posted "the nfl should get rid of the ridiculous new kickoff rule." and while some say this is an equally-ridiculous use of his time, i think this is a great waste of his time. i'd much rather have him working on stuff like this. kickoffs, end zone dances, those shorts cheerleaders wear now for no reason.

that's what i want to see him up to. of course, the purpose of the new kickoff rule is to prevent players from getting brain damage. but trump knows that without brain damage, he wouldn't be president of the united states right now. [ applause ] so he is very particular about that. last week, i mentioned that a bunch of monkeys escaped from a research facility and were on the loose in south carolina. this is footage of some of the monkeys who escaped. there were a total of 43 of them loose in the neighborhood. which is dangerous. if you get up to 50, they can declare your town a jumanji zone. as of tonight, 25 of the 43 monkeys have been captured. which is a nice way of saying there are still 18 monkeys on the loose in south carolina. 19 if you count lindsey graham. [ applause ] they don't want to hurt the monkeys so they're using fresh fruit and vegetables as bait, which is effective, because it's hard for domesticated monkeys to find food on their own. especially at these prices.

with innovation nowadays. but it's important that they round them all up. do you know how many movies revolve around a monkey escaping from a research facility? a lot. "outbreak." "monkey shines." "escape from the planet of the apes." "rise of the planet of the apes." "mvp: most valuable primate." "28 days later." "ad astra." "jay and silent bob strike back." "project x." and "the lawnmower man." and many, many more. personally, i hope they catch all the monkeys except two, and give those two a convertible and let them go full on "thelma & louise." this also feels like it could be a movie plot. more than 10,000 troops from north korea have been deployed to russia, presumably to join the fight against ukraine. but it's also the first time these men have had unrestricted access to the internet. they're very tight with the internet. north korean troops in russia have reported by been gorging on pornography. for a lot of these young guys,

the only time they got to see boobs was when dear leader was wearing a low-cut t-shirt. i mean look how horny this fella is. he's writing it down. now they're in russia eating it up. things are about to get real weird with their stepmoms when these guys get home. in other adult entertainment news, there's a movie version of the broadway musical "wicked" coming out, november 22nd. mattel made special dolls for the movie. somehow, someone put the address of a porn site on the box for the doll. instead of wickedmovie.com, they listed wicked.com. which is a pornographic film studio. which some of the people in our audience accidentally revealed they knew. [ laughter ] mattel has apologized for the mistake, but honestly, what kind of a loser sees a website on a package and goes to it? these on them. today i'm sure you know is

veterans day. [ cheering ] veterans day is a day on which we honor the service of courageous americans whose parents were not able to finagle a note from their father's podiatrist. donald trump commemorated the holiday on truth social, by posting a picture of himself. veterans day is a time to reflect on our military, on those who served and fought for our country and why they did that. but nowadays, it's easy to wonder if the average american is even aware of those who defended the freedoms we enjoy today. or if they are aware of any of our history at all. so, we sent a team out to hollywood boulevard to ask passers-by about some of the most important people in history. and it went just as terribly as you might have guessed. >> we're talking to people about some of the current events going on right now. would you like to congratulate amelia earhart on being the first female pilot to go transatlantic? >> heck ya. she is amazing. i wish i could be like her one

day. it's great. >> unfortunately, she is missing. family is very worried. would you like to offer them some words of encouragement and hope? >> just keep looking. i know she is out there. keep trying, keep fighting and keep hoping and praying. she is going to come home. >> i'm sure you've heard about the serial killer son of sam who has been stalking new york. any advice for new yorkers to stay safe from the son of sam? >> i would stay indoors when it gets dark, and if you're going to go out, make sure you go out with a group. never be alone. >> i'm sure you saw this story over the weekend, sir edmund hillary became the first person to reach the top of mount everest with a sherpa. >> yes, i heard about that. >> climbed to top of everest? >> i don't think so. it's too much effort and people don't do that anymore. >> after much debate, john hancock heroically decided to sign what they're calling the declaration of independence. everybody is very happy would. you like the add your congratulations? >> yeah, congratulations to john

hancock, because the politics is going insane. both sides going against each other is not okay. >> who would you like to see sign it? >> beyonce. >> over the weekend, general george armstrong, custer and his 7th cavalry were surrounded and massacred. would you like the thank general custer for his service? >> general custer, i'm so sorry for your loss, but thank you so much for your service and for fighting us. >> anything to say to sitting bull, who was on the other side? >> sitting bull, to take a life is so awful. these people have families. and no matter what side you're fighting for, to take a life is such an awful thing. >> so you're on custer's side? >> yes. >> new york police trying to catch son of sam, i'm sure you'll get him very soon. we support our boys in blue. >> sir edmond hillary, congratulations on the amazing accomplishment. >> congratulations, china, on your great wall. >> jonas salk, if people don't

want to take your vaccine, don't take it personally. >> nelson mandela, congratulations getting out. get yourself an in and out burger. >> russia, pull your missiles out of cuba. >> john wilkes booth, just turn yourself in. it's going benefit all of us. >> all the forces landing on tonight beach in normandy, all the best of luck. god with you. [ applause ] >> jimmy: we've got a good show for you tonight. from "abbott elementary" william stanford davis is here. we have music from sting.

[ applause ] i'm especially glad you're here. i'm always glad that you're here, but i feel like you're a very positive person. is that accurate? >> i give it my shot, you know. i was disappointed, you know, like you were. going through the grieving process. >> jimmy: what do you do? how do you stay positive? >> well r, it's interesting you bought the coast guard thing up. our motto, coast guard is semper peratis. always prepared. >> jimmy: okay. >> as i'm sitting here, how can i be prepared during these times. what do you think, jeff?

well well, life, this is part of life. you have ups and downs, strikes and gutters. this is how we roll being alive, right. i'm thinking so what do you do in times like this? well, i went through the grieving process. and now i'm finding now, man, be courageous. this is the time. this is calling you to be a courageous person. and not only creatively, you know, but what can i do? what is it? i belong to a great organization called share our strength. i love that title. >> jimmy: share our strength. >> share our strength. and that's what i feel i'm called upon to do, to share my strength. >> jimmy: how do they share their strength? >> well, i'm the national spokesperson for no kid hungry. >> jimmy: oh, that's a great one.

[ laughter ] >> and speaking of which, you left out a big one, man. >> jimmy: a big one? >> kn georgia! >> jimmy: oh, king kong. >> kong, man, come on! >> jimmy: i'm pretty sure that was a movie, though. i'm talking about real monkeys are on the loose. >> but you showed all the movies with the monkeys. >> jimmy: oh, yeah, you're

right. i didn't -- you know, he is so big, i didn't even think of him. >> of course, of course. >> jimmy: that's your friend. do you keep in touch with king? [ laughter ] >> i wrote a song about kong. >> jimmy: a song about kong? >> when i was doing kong. dino de laurentiis called me into the room and said "jeffy". >> he called me jeffy. two words, call kong 2. i had this idea for the sequel i pitched him. it was like pitching a joke to "saturday night live," you know, and they're all this implacable expression. what happens if the monkey falls and he crashes to the ground and it turns out he is a machine. what the hell is going on? >> jimmy: interesting. >> you know. >> jimmy: dino didn't like that? >> he did not like that. >> jimmy: he didn't?

>> and chuck broaden's character get the character cuss and take it around to tour. and then the aliens come. who put the thing down there in the first place. >> jimmy: it's not too late for that. by the way, more reasonable explanation than a monkey of that size growing on an island of that size. >> there you go. but no. >> jimmy: that's dino for you. he had the word no right in his name.

trumpster. >> jimmy: maybe. >> pull a 180. >> jimmy: why not? >> [ bleep ]. >> jimmy: well, it seems unlikely that will happen. but i guess we can be positive about the mystic. you know, you're right, though. if donald trump decided i don't have to run again. i am going to now just do things that will be popular with everyone, and who the hell care what this guy says or that guy says, he could have an opportunity to do the right thing. >> right. >> jimmy: guess what? he will absolutely not do that. >> don't be certain, come on, man! >> jimmy: who taught you how to fight? how did you learn to fight? >> oh, i did a movie a long time ago called "fat city". >> jimmy: right. >> and so i turned there. but we have a guy, a tim connelly who is our stunt coordinator. and tommy depot, who is my stunt guy. and we work out these fights. it's a lot of fun. >> jimmy: when you work out the fight, does anyone ever --

you're fight not just for this show, but you're fake movie fighting, have you ever hurt somebody or been hurt? >> well, when you say that, this is not exactly answering the question entirely, precisely. but when i look at the fights from the first season of "the old man," i wince because i didn't know it at the time, but i had a 9 by 12-inch tumor in my stomach. >> jimmy: oh, boy. >> with all those stomach punches and stuff. >> jimmy: oh. no. >> yeah, amazing. it didn't hurt at all. i was into it. >> jimmy: in a way, maybe the tumor was protecting all your internal organs. >> that's some positive thinking right there. >> jimmy: wow. that's a weird positive thought. can tumors break on force? >> i guess not, because they were hitting me pretty good. >> jimmy: that's a weird thing to realize after the fact. >> yeah. but, you know, you get --

especially working with actors, stunt guys, they're fine to work with. when you're doing another fight scene with another actor, you probably be careful, man, because you get psyched up. i remember my brother and my -- well, we did "fabulous baker boys". >> jimmy: your brother beau. >> great director steve, it was his first movie. and there was a fight scene in it. and i said "steve" -- my brother and i my father lloyd bridges taught us how to do stage fighting. do you mind if we gaffe this fight? oh, no, it would be great. so beau and i had such fun figuring out all our fights. but we left out one important ingredient. >> jimmy: which was? >> a safe word. you know. >> jimmy: there is a safe word in fighting? >> i had him like this, and he

is a piano player, you know. and i'm doing his fingers like this. and both -- you're hurting me, you're hurting me. act your ass out. i didn't break them. >> jimmy: it turned out you really were hurting him. >> but we didn't have -- apples, apples! >> jimmy: well, the movie came out great, so i think it was worth it with the finger. it's great to see you. thanks for being here, and thanks for sharing your thought, your knowledge, your wisdom, yourself. all episodes of "the old man" are on hulu right now. check it out. the great jeff bridges, everybody. we'll be back with william stanford davis.
