from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live!" tonight -- zooey deschanel. ben stein. and music from glass animals. and now, don't move -- here's jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] ? >> jimmy: welcome. thank you. very kind. i'm jimmy, i'm the host of the show. thanks for watching. thanks to all of you for coming. i appreciate it. i hope i don't disappoint anybody. i'm a little bit off my game tonight. we're potty training my

[ laughter ] my other daughter. she's 2 years old. her name is jane. jane has decided she will only sit on the potty and go if it is on the trampoline in our backyard. [ laughter ] so needless to say i'm exhausted. anyway. i feel like this might be some kind of carlic payback for the man show on the trampoline. years from now when my daughter is old enough to vote and i will have to explain this election to her, i feel she won't believe it. we are less than 70 days president will be. on september 26th donald trump and hillary clinton will face off in a debate at hofstra university. this is interesting. the clinton campaign is using psychology experts to create a personality profile of trump to figure out what his approach might be. which i don't know, are they preparing for a debate or trying to catch the zodiac killer? [ laughter ] hillary clinton said, i'm not taking anything for granted, i don't know which donald trump will show up. she's right, it could be the donald trump we see on cable news, could be the donald trump

could be donald trump jr. technically still a donald trump. hillary's plan is reportedly to try to bait trump into saying something that will get him into trouble. they're said to believe he's most insecure about his intelligence, his net worth, and his image as a successful businessman. which that seems obvious. in fact, i don't think they need to do a personality profile at all. if you want insight into donald trump, he's more than happy to tell you everything you need to know about him. >> donald trump is maybe the best interview there is. the doctor said, man, you of what the blood pressure of a great great athlete who's 20 years old. i'm really rich. i think i am actually humble, i think i'm much more humble than you would understand. nobody builds walls bigger than me. society loves me. i went to an ivy league school. i'm very highly educated. i know words. i have the best words. i'm one of the smartest people in the world. it's true. he referred to my hands, if they're small, something else

problem. i guarantee you. then >> jimmy: then release the evidence! [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: unfortunately not everyone is as passionate about donald trump as donald trump himself is. according to a new poll 54% of republican voters don't believe trump was the best choice to be their party's nominee for president, they wished they'd picked someone else. kind of like when you go to buy a shirt. you see all tse patterns, regular shirts. maybe a shirt with pinstripes. they look okay but not exciting. then tucked in the middle of all these plain shirts you see this totally awesome shirt. it's bold. it's different. it doesn't play by the other shirts' rules. you think about what a killer you'd feel like going out with this shirt on. you buy it, you get home, you go in your closet or wherever.

mirror. and then your wife walks in and says -- >> what the hell are you wearing? >> jimmy: and then you realize you look like a tool with a big capital "t." [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: but fortunately, the store you bought it from has a great return policy. oh, wait, no it doesn't. this is the shirt you're stuck with for four years. that's how the two-party system very cheap? [ cheers and applause ] that's going to look great on you. please slip that on because i would love to see that as i do the rest of the show. yeah, thank you, yeah. there you go, all right. meanwhile there's a major arrest in west palm beach, florida, yesterday. the ramifications of which are now being felt all around the world. >> vladimir putin is in the palm

with the russian leader. putin was arrested august 21st at the public store in city place. police say he kept going into the store to yell at customers. putin is charged with trespassing. >> jimmy: maybe that's the putin trump has been talking about all this time. [ laughter ] wow, what are the odds that guy would live in florida with that name, huh? hey, this is something parents and students should be aware of now that it's back to school time. researchers at the university of nevada found that students are more likely to pay attention if their tea this is based on a study conducted by van halen back in 1984. [ laughter ] students will pay more attention to good-looking tiefers, unless they're home schooled, then it doesn't really apply. it's interesting and it makes sense. already some private institutions are adapting to attract more prospective students to their schools. >> looking to advance your career with a specialized degree? the whispers institute of technology features the most

class for you. corporate accounting. occupational therapy. computer network administration. and much, much more. need an extra hand? our private booths give you one-on-one access to every inch of our professors' knowledge. whispers institute of technology. >> located on route 9 in hoboken across from joann fabrics. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: before you, i had him, guillermo. >> guillermo: yeah, i know. >> jimmy: abc this morning unveiled the new cast of "dancing with the stars." it's season 23 and it is quite a lineup. >> monday, september 12th, "dancie i "dancing's" back. laurie hernandez.

kanye's ex-girlfriend. rick perry. young richard greico. your hottest aunt. vanilla ice. this guy. mary lilu henner. and that dumb-ass swimmer. "dancing with the stars" live on abc. we're still doing this. >> jimmy: yeah, i'm looking forward to the swimmer. [ cheers and applause ] ryan rock lochte was the big surprise. this is part of his plea agreement, i guess. to me the big it take 23 seasons to get vanilla ice to do the show? [ laughter ] shouldn't that have happened in 2004? vanilla ice has a dilemma on his hands. of course he's going to dance to "ice ice baby." you don't want to do this the first episode, you blow your wad. but if you wait too long, you might get eliminated because you're vanilla ice. but i bet he's going to do well. i love this lineup.

get two chances to not vote for rick perry in one year. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] they made that announcement on "good morning america." most people have little to no idea what's really going on in the world. we went on the street, asked people how they thought donald trump did on "dancing with the stars" last night. obviously donald trump wasn't on "dancing with the stars" last night. new season doesn't start until september 12th. did that prevent people from giving their takes on trump's absolutely not. in tonight's "dancing with the donald edition of lie witness news." >> what did you think of donald trump dancing the cha cha last night on "dancing with the stars"? >> i thought it was really funny. i don't know if he's that great of a dancer. >> what was wrong about it? >> he tried. he came out for it. he did a good job, i guess. >> as you know, donald trump made that crazy appearance on "dancing with the stars" last night. >> yeah. >> are your friends on twitter

>> yeah, there's a twitter beef about it. it's been pretty chaotic. >> what did you think about that moment during "dancing with the stars" when donald trump's wig fell off? >> it was hilarious. you know. it was pretty funny. >> what was going through your mind when you saw that? >> he needs to get a new one. >> what did you think about how emotional scott baio got in the audience when he cried? did your heart go out to him? >> yeah, it did. >> describe that moment when he was crying with the one tear. kind of got me. it's like, oh my goodness. he's actually really sad about this. >> how do you think donald trump breaking through the wall at the end speaks to his stance on immigration this. >> actually, he wanted to build the wall between canada and the states, right? and i think it's kind of funny that he ended up doing that, i guess. >> mexico. between mexico and the states. >> oh. right. >> right. so what did you think about donald trump dancing with

were you surprised by their partnership? >> very surprised. >> did she seem she was doing it reluctantly? >> yes, very much so. >> when he spun her hard do you think he was trying to make her fall? >> i'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt and say no. but again -- it could be -- most likely it was. >> what did you think of donald trump spinning hillary clinton so violently during their tango when she came on? >> i saw it coming. the elections so i wasn't really that surprised, honestly. i felt the energy. i felt it was going to happen. >> what was you can reaction to seeing him drop her during that dip? >> oh my god, i was so surprised to see that, i could not believe that. hopefully she's okay. hopefully it's not, you know -- hopefully she'll heal for the elections. we'll see. i hope for the best, you know? >> do you want to wish hillary clinton a speedy recovery from being dropped by donald trump? >> hillary clinton, i hope you recover really quick and i hope bill takes good care of you. yeah, you know.

[ laughter ] we bought in beverly hills because my wife always wanted to live in beverly hills. we bought in malibu because i love malibu. we bought the lot across the street so nobody could build a house there, trap our dogs and eat them. >> jimmy: i see. >> we bought in west hollywood to use as an office and a neighbor made noise so i bought his apartment. >> jimmy: this is one of your houses. first of all it's beautiful. >> god bless you. >> jimmy: why do you have a tv from 1995? with all these houses, ben. >> i don't know how to use the new ones. >> jimmy: uh-huh. >> it's funny. because i had a guest over. she said, i love all your retro stuff. where do you get all this retro stuff? and i said, that's what i bought and never replaced. by the way, i don't know how to use that one very well. >> jimmy: you'll figure it out. i don't think it even gets the right signal anymore. >> probably doesn't. >> jimmy: people don't know you were a speechwriter for president nixon.

>> i was a speechwriter for nixon '73, '74. my big event at the nixon white house was '70. when my father was chairman of the council of economic advisers and had me over for lunch. my father whispered to me, would you know elvis presley if you saw him? and i said, of course. he said, he's sitting right behind you. this was at the white house -- high-level white house appointees. i turned around and there was elvis presley having lunch with bob haldeman, chief of staff. >> jimmy: the famous incident where elvis showed up at the white house unannounced? >> yes. and i got up and i said, mr. presley, everyone in the world is your fan but i'm your biggest fan. and he said, "thank-uh very much." >> jimmy: very famous photograph came out of that day. i don't know if people have seen that.
