and now, jimmy kimmel! ♪ [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: hi. welcome. very nice. i'm jimmy. i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. thank you for joining us here in hollywood, california as we begin another amazing journey of "the bachelor" and we wrap up another season of nfl football. the suk matchup is set. it will be a rematch of the teams that played two years ago, the philadelphia eagles against the kansas chiefs. the chiefs are looking to become the first professional sports team to threepeat since the lakers in 2002. taylor swift has now been to more super bowls than the jets. [ laughter ] as of today. the eagles ran it up on the

commanders, yesterday, after which eagles fans took to the streets for the kind of subdued and respectful celebration we've come to expect from the city of brotherly love. look at that. about a billion fans came out to celebrate. they had fireworks right over the crowd. and this, yes. >> that was a gun. >> jimmy: imagine being so hardened someone fires bullets in the air right next to you and your reaction is “i believe that was a gun.” and that is how they celebrated the play-offs. what are they going to do with they win the super bowl? grenades? tom brady is headed to another super bowl, this time, as part of the broadcast team for fox. this is brady's first season with fox. he's definitely getting more comfortable. some might even argue, a little bit too comfortable. >> coach jimmie johnson right there. what a stud. i saw him earlier. what a stud. what a stud linebacker he has been. yonathan allen, one of the stud

defensive linemen. this guy is a stud. >> jimmy: that's a lot of "studs." he might want to throw a couple of “hunks” or “beefcakes” in there, just to mix it up. look at this “man morsel. mmm, mm, mmm. after the afc championship game, our commander-in-chief took to truth social to congratulate the chiefs -- and himself. he wrote, “congratulations to the kansas city chiefs. what a great team, coach, quarterback, and virtually everything else, including those fantastic fans, that voted for me in record numbers." that's right. the real afc champion is donald trump. "johnny can't unitas" was here in l.a. this weekend, and we really rolled out the orange carpet. governor newsom was on hand to greet the president and first lady. as they landed. there is our governor, alone, with his hands in his pockets, like an abercrombie & fitch model. waiting. now i happen to believe that trump likes gavin newsom. i think he looks at gavin newsom and he is "damn you, don jr.."

gives his tricep a little pat. newsom tells him he looks strong, thanks him for sending his ex-wife kimberly to greece, little bro bump. “you are good-looking and i am good-looking. and that's a big part of why we're here.” trump agrees wholeheartedly. and then hello, melania. there you go. that's the happiest she's been in quite some time. and then they spoke with the press. the governor did his best to make nice. he said in front of reporters to the president, "you were there for us during covid, and we won't forget it." which is like telling michael myers he was there for us for halloween. and we won't forget it. but we need money. what are you going to do? and i guess that was it for trump and the governor. the rest of the visit was just trump wearing a hat and holding court. but the president, to his credit, did seem to recognize the gravity of the situation, and a roundtable with local officials, promised to help. the fire was a genius. >> we're going turn it around, and we're going open the

coffers. you know, america wants us to be taken care of. this was a horrible thing to watch, and the way it kept going and going. and then it would find another area. it was like genius on the other side, the fire was a genius. >> jimmy: the fire was a genius. not a stable genius. an unstable genius for sure. also, the fire was hot too. a hot genius. like mayim bialik in a lot of ways. listening to trump talk about the wildfires, it's enough to make you want to pull your hair out of your head. somewhere along the line he got this idea that there is a water pump we neglected to open that would have been all we needed to put the fire out. >> i'm signing an executive order to open up the pumps and valves in the north. we want the get that water pouring down here as quickly as possible. let hundreds of millions of water flow down into southern california. you're talking about unlimited water coming up from the pacific northwest. >> that's right.

he will be issuing an executive order making the whole state a six flags hurricane harbor. and that should solve all our problems. [ applause ] and it doesn't stop. he keeps talking about these huge, imaginary valves that we refuse to turn. what goes on in this brain of his? we've got giant involves, gold coins. it's like super mario brothers in there. i think it's important to remember that the man criticizing us for our response to the fire emergency is the man who suggested we inject bleach into our bodies to stop covid. same guy, same person! but trump's trip got a bigly thumbs up from all the maga characters, including his newly appointed ambassador to hollywood, mr. mel gibson. >> i'm glad trump's here at the moment. you know, it's like daddy arrived and he's taking his belt off. >> jimmy: it's like daddy arrived and he's taking his belt off? is that a good thing? i think we just learned something weird about mel's childhood.

and then we have the other lethal weapon, mr. government efficiency elon musk, who seems to be moonlighting, working for germany too! ex luthor, after all the outrage over what many believe was a nazi salute, decided to lower the temperature by beaming into a rally for the ultra far-right alternative for germany party. the afd is the first far-right party to win a state election in germany since the nazis ran the place, and elon zoomed in to tell them to keep up the good work. >> let's go! let's go, guys, let's go! fight for a great future for germany. fight for a great future for germany, go, go, go! convince everyone, let's go! yay! >> jimmy: yay? what is yay? kan-yay? what is yay? inner trump world news, after a

long and contentious confirmation process, the senate went to a tiebreaker to confirm pete hegseth as secretary of defense. hegseth is so cosmically unqualified, even mitch mcconnell poked his little head out of his shell to vote against him. unfortunately, he was one of only three republicans to do that on saturday. hegseth was sworn into trump's liquor cabinet on a stack of mike's hard lemonade. and celebrated responsibly. we also have a new head of the department of homeland security. former governor kristi noem sailed through the confirmation process, and was sworn-in at an airbnb. i don't know. it's clarence thomas. he parked his rv in her driveway and put on a pair of his biggest black shoes to do the job. i like this choice. one of trump's primary messages during the campaign was that immigrants were eating the pets. so, what does he do? he goes out and hires the woman who shot all the pets. problem solved. homeland secured. but we are focused on the

positive things today, not negative, because 54 years ago on this very date, don julio and the pillsbury doe dough boy had a baby together, and that baby grew up to become the adorable half-man, half-pikachu known as guillermo. hello, guillermo. >> guillermo: thank you! [ cheering ] >> jimmy: guillermo, i believe guillermo's birthday really should be the official end of dry january, not the 31st. in honor of your birthday, guillermo, the staff got together, we decided what we're going do. we decided we're going to do the thing you always do to us which is plan a dinner and not show up. remember what we did last year? >> guillermo: yes, jimmy. >> jimmy: last year we sent guillermo parasailing which he loved. >> no, no, no, no! >> you guys! this is the worst birthday ever!

>> jimmy: i never got a thank you note for any of that. so this year we want to give guillermo an experience that he would genuinely love. guillermo loves two things, massages, right? >> yes. >> jimmy: snakes, right? >> guillermo: no! >> jimmy: no? because we found a place that combines what they call snake massage. we told guillermo he is going for a massage and gave him what i thought was a very thoughtful birthday surprise. >> looks like we have you down for a birthday treatment. >> guillermo, nice meeting you. >> >> guillermo: nice meeting you. >> i'm cujo. this will be a massage unlike any you've ever had. >> guillermo: oh. >> how about i remove your cucumbers. there you go. >> guillermo: so what kind of massage is this? >> this is a reiki massage. this will have a lot to do with your chakras. it's not a bad thing to fear. i'll be back with my first tool.

>> guillermo, i'm back. >> guillermo: oh [ bleep ]! >> this is my first tool named spirit. >> guillermo: [ bleep ] [ bleep ]. >> in this exercise, we have to let go our inhibitions and fears. have you get a little bit immersed with my boy spirit. it's specifically a snake massage so that we can get down to how guillermo can be better. >> guillermo: you know how can i be better? for me getting the [ bleep ] out of here. >> i've got you. >> guillermo: ay-yay-yay. [ bleep ] [ bleep ] [ bleep ]. >> keep in mind it is alive, so it does move. >> guillermo: hopefully it doesn't go in my balls. >> i want you to put your hands by your side and relax your body. you're putting yourself in an uncomfortable situation, but the feeling that you get after is nothing like anything else.

>> guillermo: [ bleep ], man. >> let me try something with you while your eyes are closed. don't worry, it's just a rain stick. >> guillermo: the spirit, i think it's already been more than -- oh, [ bleep ], [ bleep ]. >> you're going through it. you're going through it, pal. >> guillermo: ah, ah. >> i have another tool that i'm going go get. >> ah ah ah! hey, mr. chakra, this thing is moving! mr. chakra! >> right here. >> guillermo: [ bleep ] mr. chakra, moving. no, mr. chakra. that one one there, don't put it. >> this is my next tool named wink, because he was born with only one eye. >> guillermo: ooh [ bleep ], ooh, no! [ bleep ], man, no, no, no. what a [ bleep ] birthday.

no, no, no. [ bleep ] [ bleep ] [ bleep ] [ bleep ] [ bleep ] [ bleep ]. oh, oh, my balls! put it down, put it down. >> i've got you, i've got you. >> guillermo: thank you, mr. chakra. >> no problem. i think you have very good friends, by the way. >> guillermo: [ bleep ] friends. i knew it was going to be something crazy. that's why before i came here i took two pills not to have diarrhea, imodium pills, and i took two. agh! >> i'll be right back. >> guillermo: no, no, where are you going? [ bleep ] [ bleep ]. agh, mr. chakra! >> coming, guillermo. >> guillermo: no, no, no. oh [ bleep ]. no, man! mr. chakra, no! [ bleep ], man. oh, [ bleep ].

>> that's some good massaging right there. >> guillermo: oh, no. >> i don't want the big one to crush any of the little ones. so i have to move these ones up higher. >> >> guillermo: no, no, no! >> this one is going to go here and then this one -- no, no, no. >> right there, stay still. >> guillermo: [ bleep ], [ bleep ], [ bleep ]. this is not fun. this is punishment. i'm a good guy. >> this is a lot of fun. >> am i allowed to do this to my mother-in-law? >> you're perfectly safe, guillermo. perfectly safe. >> guillermo: have you ever been bitten by a snake? >> oh, yeah, of course. >> guillermo: i think we're done. >> you seem really tense. is it the snakes? you're doing fantastic. this is what you want. >> guillermo: this is what you want. this is not what i want. >> close your eyes. >> guillermo: what the -- are you doing?

no, what are you doing? >> i'm immersing you in -- what's the word? >> guillermo: bull [ bleep ]? >> no, now we've made huge progress. i hope you learned a lot from this. you look like a snake god right now. >> guillermo: thank you. now you can take them off. >> i am a snake god. say it for yourself. >> guillermo: i am a snake god. >> say i am a snake god! >> guillermo: i am a snake god. >> we have one more thing. >> guillermo: oh, no. [ bleep ] [ bleep ] [ bleep ] [ bleep ] [ bleep ] [ bleep ] [ bleep ] [ bleep ] [ bleep ] [ bleep ]. oh, man, oh, man. i feel like i'm going to [ bleep ] my pants. help! agh [ bleep ]. >> stay still. >> guillermo: can you remove this, please.

>> your skin has gone back to normal. you're not tensing as much. >> guillermo: can you take the snakes? >> that's what i love to hear. how do you feel right now? >> good, yeah, good. can you take the snakes? >> who do we have to thank for this grand experience? >> guillermo: thank you, jared kushner and [ bleep ].

it was the emotional heartbeat throughout her story. so i wanted to make sure that she grew within the songs. so you can't be at defying gravity right at the beginning. she has to grow to get there. so the first time you really hear her sing, it's -- it's "the wizard and i." so "the wizard and i" has more youth in the sound. and then later on you have "i'm not that girl" which is a little bit more wistful, and there is more heartbreak. before you get to "defying gravity," which has a growl in it, more ground in it. so with the "wizard and i", you have i guess you use thinner vocal chords. ♪ did that really just happen, have i actually understood ♪ >> jimmy: uh-huh. it's nice.

[ cheering ] ♪ ♪ >> thank you! wow, thank you. >> jimmy: the super bowl coming, this is chicken wings time to shine, isn't it? >> it really is. it really is. >> jimmy: your big season. >> it all comes down to this. >> jimmy: i can't imagine there isn't anyone who hasn't seen your show at this point. but you a job, i was thinking about it today, no one else has

ever had. >> chicken wing talk show host. >> jimmy: yeah, chicken wing talk show host. but it's part interview, part hazing ritual. do all your guests know -- fully know what they're in for? >> no. a lot of times it takes them by surprise. and i remember we had seth rogen do an episode one time. after it is done, i think there is this expectation when you do a show that it's going to be one way. afterwards, he was this is not famous person hot. he had that idea that weidner of the wings because we have celebrities on. but no, it really is -- >> jimmy: like celebrity "jeopardy!" isn't real "jeopardy!" >> right. >> jimmy: because they don't want the celebrities to look like idiots. >> but not our show. >> jimmy: you don't have that. >> no, no, no. it's all a learning curve. >> jimmy: what i think this is the real secret to the show, if i may, you're really -- it's a series interview. it's a real interview. >> thank you. >> jimmy: you're not jerking around. it's like if charlie rose jammed a bunch of talkies down your throat, while he was doing it,

you would take it very seriously. >> i do. i do. i think that's the key to how we've lasted as long as we've lasted. we have this unique novelty hook. at the end of the day, we are kind of traditionalists. i look up to late night hosts as you. as you know. conan o'brien, david letterman. so we do approach it in a classic traditional way, even though it has this novelty nesthy hook. >> jimmy: yeah, i think that probably is the secret. otherwise you could probably get tired of after 15 or 20 of them. you've got actors. you've got athletes. you've got musicians on the show. do they approach it in different ways? athletes compared to actors? >> yeah. i'm curious your take on this. i do think genre to genre, there is a difference in h approach it. like in an an athlete, when they're doing "hot ones," they approach it in a one more rep kind of way. you can see the athlete wiring in them on the show. and then actors, artists very like i need to immerse myself in the experience. and then musicians are just worried we might have fried

their vocal chords, destroyed their career while appear this talk show. >> jimmy: i feel like aglutton i guess is the way i approach it. it's funny, because i looked at some of the comments after i did it on youtube, and people are very impressed that i ate the whole wing, which i didn't know. it never occurred to me not to eat the whole wing. >> i know this about you. so i think that's an exalted category in "hot ones" guests, ones that eat the whole wing or ones that go through with no water or milk. but i don't lead anybody before they come on. if you crush this whole wing, the fans will really like you. you went in with that mentality and executed. >> jimmy: not even, really. i just was hungry for wings is honestly my thought. and i didn't want to be -- i did think about, because i watched he who will not be named matt damon on the show. and i didn't want to be aiden i >> right. >> jimmy: sipping his little milk with his finger up after

each thing. i wanted to eat the wings properly like a savage, you know. and i feel like i did. >> you did that. you're a "hot ones" legend. take that away from it. [ cheering ] >> jimmy: how many -- have you ever added up how many wings you've eaten? because you eat the wings along with the guests. >> it's easy math. in may i think we've been doing the show for ten years. i think we've done over 300 episodes. so if you just do the math on that, i've eaten over 3,000 chicken wings just for the internet's amusement over the past decade. >> jimmy: at the end of the taping, do you eat more? >> when this is said and done, i'll never eat another chicken wing again. after an episode, though, i do like the zen sort of moment where people feel like they can't bother me. i will put on some basketball shorts. i'll crank the ac. i'll get a bowl of ice cream and relax it out. it's kind of like in a pavlovian way my favorite part of the week. >> jimmy: has there been injuries? has anyone had to go to the hospital or anything?

>> that i don't know. they do sign solve iron-clad waivers before they step on to the show. but i've suffered a handful of them. i've seen guests suffer them. any cross pollination problem you can have with hot sauce i've done. there is that natural inclination if the eyebrows are sweating to take your hand, take your finger, wipe your eye. will ferrell, as he learned in our holiday special a few years ago, you could blind to the right side of your face. i've made every hot sauce mistake that you can ever make. the eye is kind of the second worse. >> jimmy: have you thought of spin-off shows? wait, what was the first worst? oh, i just figured it out. i just figured it out. yeah. yeah, yeah, you're going to watch out for that. >> yeah. [ laughter ] >> pro tip. >> jimmy: no one's tried to sue you? none of the celebrities? >> not successfully. >> jimmy: good, good, good. have you thought about taking this formula and doing another show. like for instance, i have a

pitch for you. >> i'm all ears. >> jimmy: it's called hammer toe is what it's called. >> all right. >> jimmy: what you do, you've got ten questions and a hammer. and after each question, you hit the guest on the toe, each toe with the hammer. and they have to answer the question. >> i think we have a hit on our hands. >> jimmy: guillermo, i got good news. your birthday next year -- [ laughter ] >> guillermo: no thank you! >> jimmy: you're going to be on hammer toe. >> guillermo: no. i go to mexico. >> jimmy: are you concerned about -- are you worried about the bird flu? >> well, there is a lot of things you worry about when you have a show like this. >> jimmy: is that one of them? >> yeah. well, i didn't really think about it until you just said it. but i guess i'll add to it the list. >> jimmy: you might want to put that on the waiver. >> it's on the list now. >> jimmy: well, congratulations on the success of the show. >> thank you. >> jimmy: it's a lot of fun to watch. it really is. hot wings aside, you do a great job with it. and thank you for being here. the show is called "hot ones." you can see new episodes every thursday on you know. sean evens, everybody.
