we went ahead and pick something out for you. the macy's in san francisco's union square is getting ready for the holidays this friday. puppies and kittens will come to the store's windows. an annual tradition. but is this christmas the last for the famous store? that story is one of the top things people are clicking on right now on our website. it's up for you on the top news sidebar at abc seven news.com. all right. thank you so much for watching tonight. i'm ama daetz and i'm dan ashley for sandhya patel larry beil all of us. >> we appreciate your time right now on jimmy kimmel denzel washington. >> have a great night. >> lou: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live!" tonight -- denzel washington. phillipa soo. and music from dwight yoakam. with cleto and the cletones.

and now jimmy kimmel. [ cheering and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: thank you. hi, everybody. hi, i'm jimmy. i'm the host of the show. thank you for clapping. thank you for watching. thank you for joining us after a monday night of football here on abc. relax, relax, everybody. tonight we had the houston texans versus guillermo's team, the dallas cowboys at at&t stadium which is still recovering from the fight on friday night. was that a fight? or was it a disagreement? did you watch this tyson? according to netflix, more than 60 million households streamed, or attempted to stream, what is being called the most-watched instance of elder abuse since joe biden debated donald trump.

58-year-old former heavyweight champ mike tyson was very rusty against 27-year-old jake paul. did you see this fight, guillermo? >> guillermo: it was very sad. >> jimmy: physically -- it was. it looked like tyson was in great shape physically, but this is where i realized where maybe it wasn't a great idea to bet money on mike. not that. that's not where it happened. it was actually right here. now that's the opposite of game face. that's waiting in line at the post office face. guillermo is right, though. the fight itself was depressing. in the last five rounds, tyson threw a total of 42 punches. in the sixth round, he threw 8 punches and landed none of them. honestly, the most dramatic moment happened at the weigh-in. >> ladies and gentlemen! >> jimmy: sadly, that slap was the last time tyson made

physical contact with jake paul. the exciteo-meter hit its peak before they even rang the bell. >> he is angry. he is an angry little elf. mike tyson, i thought that was a cute slap, buddy, tomorrow you're getting [ bleep ] out. like a bitch, bitch, he must die! >> jimmy: hard to believe that kid is going to be president of the united states one day. [ applause ] it's probable. a lot of people hated this fight. it was a very strange broadcast. at one point, they looked in on mike tyson in the locker room and got not one surprise, but two, maybe even three. >> what's your prediction? >> a vicious win. >> thank you. >> love you. >> love you too. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: you know, if the

boxing doesn't work out, he can always get into sumo wrestling. a lot of people were confused about why he kissed the guy interviewing him. turned out, it was his son. mike tyson has changed. probably for the better. but i feel like deep down, a lot of us were hoping that if tyson knocked this kid out, the universe would've corrected itself. it didn't. donald trump is still president-elect. he didn't attend the tyson fight, though his presence was definitely felt. but he was at ufc 309 at madison square garden saturday. trump took a much-needed break from raiding insane asylums for cabinet picks for a little proud boys night out with these guys. >> republican party well represented here at ufc 309. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: dork, dork, goose, another dork. that's don jr., eric, vivek ramaswamy, and ufc superfan mike johnson.

oh, man, does mike johnson love mixed martial arts. never misses a match. they flew in with dondre the giant, who was spotted with two of his bigliest fans, kid rock and elon musk. there they are, three guys who'll all have top-level security clearance in two months. after the fight, trump loaded the whole "grab 'em by the posse" on his plane. there is a lot going on in this photograph. it's just like the last supper, but everyone is judas. [ applause ] that little elf on a shelf mike johnson popping his head in there. health czar r.f.k. with a quarter pounder with cheese, 10 mcnuggets, a large fries and a coke. that is what they call a "farm-to-toilet" meal. only donald trump would force his new health czar to eat mcdonald's. that's what he does. these are subservience tests. mike johnson has to go to a fight. r.f.k. has to eat mcdonald's. matt gaetz has to date a woman he didn't pay.

it's all very -- but the big question for me was where is j.d. vance? didn't he used to be trump's running mate like two weeks ago? poor j.d. vance was at home on -- excuse me, at home in his couch. there could soon be a ufc-caliber battle in the senate over trump's ridiculous cabinet nominees. the trump transition team is reportedly planning to forgo the customary fbi background checks for some of his picks. and while you may say, "but wait a minute. if biden had suggested skipping background checks, wouldn't republicans in congress outrage"? the answer is yes. but this is different, because these are donald trump's picks. it's different. i'm actually with trump on this one. i mean, it's kind of ridiculous to do background checks for cabinet members when the president himself is a convicted felon. right? there is no end to the nonsense. [ applause ] we are just scratching the surface. they had an america first gala

at mar-a-lago, of course, where trump got an introduction from none other than the italian stallion himself. >> when george washington defended his country, he had no idea that he was going change the world, because without him, you could imagine what the world would look like. guess what? we got the second george washington. congratulations! >> jimmy: i guess those punches rocky took to the head were real. george washington was the father of our country. donald trump is the father of eric. big difference. i mean, and then after stallone, it was golf clubber lang's turn at the podium. you know, i keep wondering when this bromance between trump and elon musk is going to blow up like a spacex rocket? but for now, at least, they appear to be going strong.

>> he's done a fantastic job. really an incredible mind, and he is an unbelievable entrepreneur, sort of everything. i'm asking him what do you do best? and we were not able to figure it out. but it's a lot of things. >> jimmy: well, if you do figure it out, let us know. okay? i know for sure it's not jumping. maybe it's humiliating himself? i don't know. trump loves being in front of a crowd because his thoughts, instead of keeping them inside his pumpkin, he can release them to be shared with all, no matter how puzzlingly random they may be. >> i heard manage that was very interesting, the word "grocery." it's sort of such a strange and simple, nice word, you know. i'm going out for groceries today. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: oh, is that what that word means? and then, this is so -- i have to admit, one of the things i actually enjoy about trump is when he gets a story in his head. someone tells him a story that suits whatever point he's trying

to make, and he tells the story over and over and over again each time, as if he's never told it before. and each time, adding more and more specific and completely made-up detail. and with that said, i give you the classic the old woman and the apples. >> an old woman, she had three apples, and she brought them up to the cash register. and she looked at the woman, and she said is that the right price? and the woman said yes, ma'am, i'm sorry, yes, it is. oh, that's okay. could you wait one minute? and she took one of the three apples, and she brought it back to the refrigeration, and she came back gently up to the cash register, and she paid for two apples instead of three. >> jimmy: gently, gently. he has told this story now i think 50 times. there no one who can tell him they don't keep apples in the refrigeration at the grocery store? i mean, just one little -- [ applause ] now that the election is over, this is that melancholy part of the post-script when you realize that once a candidate has your email address, they will never

stop contacting you. over the weekend, i received not one, but six fundraising emails from the harris campaign. including -- "there has never been a more important time to donate to the harris fight fund program than right now." now, i'm not an expert when it comes to campaigns, but i'm pretty sure there has been a better time. i feel i get so many -- i feel like i'm being baby reindeered by these people. "james, in a moment, we're going to ask you to donate $100 to the harris victory fund program." the harris victory fund? maybe we start by giving it a new name and go from there. this is like blockbuster still trying to collect late fees for those vhs tapes. harris campaign officials say the requests are for money that's meant to go to the democratic national committee. you're not going asked to give money to one candidate who lost one race, you're being asked to give money to a whole committee that lost so many races all over the country. why aren't they releasing limited edition kamala harris watches or bibles or golden high

tops? have they learned nothing from this loss? meanwhile, president biden this weekend, became the first sitting president of the united states to visit the amazon rain forest. and i feel like before you see this, i should tell you, this is not on a green screen. this is not a sketch from "saturday night live." this is the real rainforest, and president biden was actually there. >> so let's preserve this sacred place for our time and forever for the benefit of all humanity. thank you very, very much. >> jimmy: and he was never seen again. he wandered off. got mixed up with some monkeys and that was that. the ayahuasca hit him pretty hard. [ laughter ] spirit airlines today filed for bankruptcy.

[ laughter ] turns out, their strategy of being the worst airline in american history didn't pay off. as well as they hoped. how could they have just filed for bankruptcy? i've flown spirit airlines. i assumed they were always bankrupt. spirit stock has dropped more than 93% of its value this year, which is sad. but i believe that if you invested money in spirit airlines, you probably don't deserve to have money. so now we are faced with a relatively new philosophical question. which is when a spirit airlines goes bankrupt, does it become a spirit halloween store? i guess we'll find out. as i mentioned earlier, tonight was texas night on monday night football. and to celebrate that, we crashed a tailgate party at sofi stadium. we sent our man on the scene to embed himself with nfl fans for a new football-themed edition of "breaking the news."

>> breaking the news! football edition. >> tonight, 40 beer bongs? this young lady shares her tips on how you can turn a morning kickoff into the reason why you lost custody. >> alert. >> i put your chips along my lips. when you dip, i dip, we dip. why experts believe sharing food is the number one cause of throat syphilis. [ bleep ]. >> unappetizing. >> we're talking to -- vladimir. >> you know what? i'm sorry, vladimir. we can't show any of the logos and stuff. can we bleep this out really quick while we talk to you? just for while we're talking to you. >> ah, really? >> and do me a favor. when we talk about the teams, don't mention the team or the name. just say the guys and the fellow, you know what i mean? because we can't say anyone specific. who is your favorite player? >> i can't even tell you.

you told me, the dude. >> you want to give a shout out to your team? >> actually, you told me not to shout them out. >> just be vague about it. be kind of vague. >> not my tattoos! >> disqualified. >> domino mother -- i've always wanted to say that in inglewood. bucket list number 12, checked! we're cool, right? >> cool. >> just like ice cube. >> girls watching football? then who's home cleaning the kitchen? why this could lead to women's rights. my terrifying report after an all new "lady matlock"? would it kill you to smile? [ laughter ] >> toxic masculinity. >> sure, anyone can throw a football around a parking lot, but can you catch a television microphone? dude, that was like $200, seriously. give me the ball. give me the ball. the ball. >> i'm not paying for that. >> they may be rooting for opposing teams -- okay.

but one thing we can all agree on is abortion. >> go rams! >> and abortion. >> and abortion. >> complex issue. >> we're here at the big game, and it's time for the big beefstick challenge. we have a couple of beefy guys. let's see who our winner is. who can finish it first? there is the flag in the middle. we ready? three, two, beef stick, beef stick! [ laughter ] >> mouth stuff. >> we're here with nfl legends howie long and terry bradshaw. hey, have a great game, guy. >> thank you. >> terry, looking good. don't get up, don't get up. >> still kickin'. >> i've got all the scores and highlights after the game. woo! >> and i get insight from these

round, round after round. >> that was a strange -- they got all these rules about you can't be too close, let them speak first, don't shake hands. and i forgot it all. >> jimmy: that's good. i find it annoying -- >> did you do that? have you met them? >> jimmy: no, i've never met them. and if i was given the rules, i would gladly accept the rules. but i feel like you shouldn't be given rules. i think he should be given rules about meeting you, don't you think? >> nah, nah. [ applause ] >> it's good to be king. >> jimmy: it must be. >> it must be. >> jimmy: is that your first king? >> that was my first king that i remember. >> jimmy: what did you guys talk about? >> it was just small talk. >> jimmy: nothing. >> and handshake. >> jimmy: did you think about what you were going to say beforehand? >> no. >> jimmy: what a job for him, though. he has to go through and say something that everyone is going to remember what he said. >> he said he loved all of my movies. >> jimmy: oh, he did. all of them. >> yeah, that's what he said. all of them. >> jimmy: don't want any trouble

very close, lin, denzel washington is here! insert name there. and that's how it went. >> jimmy: you originated the role of eliza. is that the probably word to use, originated? >> yes, yeah. >> jimmy: the role of eliza in "hamilton." >> yes. >> jimmy: and how many shows did you do? >> there was eight shows a week for a year on broadway, and then eight shows a week for about four or five months off broadway. >> jimmy: oh, wow. >> that's a lot. >> jimmy: like 10,000? >> it felt like. >> jimmy: hundreds of shows. >> it felt like hundreds and thousands and at the same time. >> jimmy: went by quickly. >> so fast. >> jimmy: at any point do you kind of get too familiar with the material that you check out? >> oh, yeah. >> jimmy: you do? >> yeah. >> jimmy: start thinking of other stuff? >> yeah, i mean, you know, i think for the first three months you're still finding it, you're still discovering things. and then something happens, and this happened to all of us. and kind of around the same time where your brain just turns off

and your body knows it. like your mouth makes the words. you know what's coming next, but your brain isn't actually thinking about what's coming next. >> jimmy: is that good? do you want to be in that zone? >> well, it's good, but you don't want to check out too much because -- >> jimmy: you could forget the words to the song if you check out too much. >> you could. which is something that happened to me on stage. >> jimmy: oh, you did. >> it was after the album came out. it was the worst time to happen. everybody in the audience, i could see them like -- they knew all the lyrics. >> jimmy: you didn't know. >> i was on stage doing "burn" this is like the big number in act 2. and i'm alone. i'm one of the few people who have to be on stage alone by themselves singing their song. and i had no one around me to help me. and i had accidentally sung the second verse first. and then i was sort of thinking -- continuing to sing the lyrics and thinking how can i get back from this?

should i go back to the beginning? should i start over? no, i can't start over. here cosms the chorus. should we good back to the first? it was all happening in my brain in realtime, and then i just stopped, and everything went quiet. the music kept going, and i was just sitting there, just waiting and waiting and waiting. and it felt like maybe a minute went by. and everybody after i got off stage, i was so devastated and really upset that i had forgotten the words. and everybody was like we thought something happened to you. we thought like you fainted or something. on stage. >> jimmy: yeah, i fainted. >> it was me and this burning lantern. we thought maybe you caught on fire. i was like no, no, i literally forgot the lyrics. oh, no. >> jimmy: that was the show if i was lin-manuel miranda, that would be the whispered to you oprah is in the audience! >> but at the end, i talked to some people who came to the show, and they were like you

were so emotional during "burn". >> jimmy: oh, really? >> we could feel it. when you paused and had to stop. i was like. >> jimmy: you were really burning. >> i was really feeling it in that moment, yeah. >> jimmy: now you are on this crazy television show. >> yeah. >> jimmy: were you aware it was going to be a crazy show before you signed up for it? >> well, i read the pilot and like the two medical emergencies, the two big medical emergencies were sea emergencies as i call them. >> jimmy: sea emergencies, okay. >> sea emergencies. they were iodine poisoning from eating too much slump. really fun. and also a broken penis. so i thought well, you can only go up here from here, right? uh-huh, uh-huh. >> the possibilities are endless. >> jimmy: there have been two penis episodes so far in the first season. >> yes, yes. what are you thinking of? >>. >> jimmy: well, there is the guy who got his penis stuck in a

woman. >> oh, that, yes. i forgot. >> jimmy: you forgot that? >> i forgot. i totally -- there are so many things happening. >> jimmy: you must be in that comfort zone now. [ laughter ] you stop and kind of oh, wow, i can really feel that penis. >> we're so focused now. we're okay, what happens in this episode? broken penis, yeah, yeah. >> jimmy: a nose fell off a woman's face. >> yeah. >> jimmy: all very typical cruise ship injuries. >> yeah, yeah. normal. >> jimmy: do you have -- playing a nurse, is it hard to remember the medical jargon? >> it's very hard. >> jimmy: it seems like it would be hard. >> yeah. i have to practice very hard to learn all of these very -- what i would say difficult words to pronounce, but also i have no idea what they mean. i have no idea what the context is. so i have a couple tricks up my sleeve. >> jimmy: what are the tricks? how do you remember? >> well, this is going to surprise you all, but i make up

a song. >> jimmy: oh. >> like a little sing song to sort of remember. >> jimmy: can you think of one offhand? >> i can. and i think it already aired. so i'm safe to do this one. >> jimmy: okay, good. >> i'll give joshua jackson some credit, because he actually was the one who started singing this. this was his line. and then i sort of was like that's really fun. i think i'm going make it into a song and add a three-part harmony to it and try and teach it to everybody on set. >> jimmy: oh, great. >> so now everybody knows this song, which is called "transesophageal echocardiogram." >> jimmy: sounds like a hit already. >> do you want to hear it? >> jimmy: go ahead.
