kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: very nice. hi, everybody, welcome. i'm jimmy, i'm the host of the show. i think you probablying if the that out. thanks for watching. thanks for coming. you're here on a good night. channing tatum is here with us. [ cheers and applause ] hey, now. now you scared him away, now he's not going to come. also tonight from "american crime," regina king. music from kopecky -- [ cheers and applause ] then we will delve into the supernatural. guillermo and i speak to visitors from beyond with teresa

[ cheers and applause ] what she does is talks to dead people, right, guillermo? >> guillermo: yeah. >> jimmy: you were kind of freaked out by the whole thing? >> guillermo: yeah, i was afraid, i had butterflies in my stomach. >> jimmy: you don't want to get those, if they get into your stomach they're in a lot of trouble. also, you know, there's a lot going on in new hampshire right now. after the caucus in iowa, the candidates who had no chance to win are finally starting to realize that and drop out. rick santorum announced he's suspending his campaign after he finished 11 in this iowa. rand paul is suspending his campaign after finishing fifth. i like that they call it suspending. as if their campaigns got caught having sex under the bleachers and will be back in a couple of weeks. rand paul deserves a lot of credit. he said time and time again he believes in smaller government. now that he's out of the race the government is indeed one person smaller.

jeb bush finished sixth behind rand paul. who dropped out. but jeb bush is still running. he doesn't know what to do. you know, if he loses he can't go home because his father and brother will laugh at him. so he's just got to stay -- i guess he's hoping some of the people who supported the candidates who are dropping out will get on board with him. but i tell you something, i don't know if these ads are going to work. >> rand paul has ended his campaign. >> today i will suspend my campaign for the presidency. >> but his supporters are not forgotten. jeb bush. jeb's still running. and he desperately needs your vote. if we join forces, who knows, we might just make it to fourth place! you can't stand with rand but you can ebb with jeb. paid for by mistake. >> jimmy: that happens. does happen. [ cheers and applause ]

can get. he tweeted, drop by the red harrow in millford, new hampshire, their fresh blueberry muffins look too good to pass up. behold the most boring photograph ever posted to social media. jeb bush ordering a muffin. he got a little wild. he went with blueberry instead of his usual bran, hand it to him for that. jeb held a town hall event in hanover, new hampshire, where god bless him he tried so hard to get the crowd fired up. >> i will be a commander in chief that will have the back of the military. i won't trash talk. i won't be a divider in chief or an agitator in chief. i won't be out there blow-harding, talking a big game without backing it up. i think the next president needs to be a lot quieter but send a signal we're prepared to act in the national security interests of this country, to get back in the business of creating a more peaceful world.

[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: really. i don't know. honestly that is one of the saddest things i've ever seen. it's like peter pan trying to save tinkerbell, you know? please clap, someone give that man a hug! meanwhile, hillary clinton is trying to position herself as the underdog in new hampshire, which is funny considering the fact that she's running against mr. magoo. vermont senator bernie sanders is heavily favored to win in new hampshire. i don't know why we just found out about this but before he was senator, in 1999, bernie sanders appeared in a low-budget movie. it's called "my ex-girlfriend's wedding reception." this is a real movie starring debbie gibson. bernie played the rabbi. >> testing, testing. one, two, three. can you all hear me? my name is rabbi manny shevitz. >> jimmy: very clever. but wait, there's more.

there's always tomorrow. it could be worse. now let's just thank god you have your arms, you have your legs, let's eat! la chaim! >> jimmy: how is it possible he was already 75 years old in 1999? [ laughter ] [ applause ] >> jimmy: it's amazing. he hasn't aged. ted cruz, of course, was the big winner in iowa. cruz beat donald trump despite the fact that all the polls had trump winning the thing. at first trump was gracious. he said he was happy to have done so well. but i guess he's been giving that some more thought because this is what he posted to twitter today. a whole bunch of tweets. the state of iowa should disqualify trurs from the most recent election on the basis he cheated, a total fraud. next one, based on the fraud committed by senator ted cruz either a new election should take place or cruz results nullified.

he stole it, that is why all the polls were so wrong and why he got far more votes than anticipated. bad! sometimes bad means good. not in this case. in this case it meant bad. i guess trump wants a new iowa caucus. but does anyone else get the feeling this election is going to end inned 2019? end in 2019? in spite of all this donald trump is reportedly on the list of nominees for the nobel peace prize. which is -- i say it's about time we honor the man who settled the great gary busey/meatloaf conflict of 2012. this is the nobel peace prize. donald trump is so committed to peace, he's got one on his head, folks. [ laughter ] [ drumroll ] >> jimmy: apparently an american who's a legitimate nominator submit adler that nominated donald trump, which puts him alongside many luminaries including pope francis, which means this person could

for peace. >> throw him the hell out of here. get him out of here. get him out. come on. security, move faster. we need security that moves fast. come on, move faster. yeah you can get him the hell out, go ahead. get him out. get him out of here, please. boom, get him out. get out of here, please, get him out. get him out of here. get him out of here! get out! out, out, out! get out of here. don't give them their coat. no coats. you know, it's amazing. i mention food stamps and that guy who's seriously overweight went crazy. he went crazy. >> jimmy: he's practicing for when he starts throwing people out of the country. [ applause ] when we come back from the break we have something very special. guillermo and i sat down with the long island medium to speak to those who have gone to the great beyond. don't go die on us, we'll be

>> jimmy: welcome back. channing tatum, regina king, music from kopecky on the way. first, how many of you believe that you can communicate with spirits and ghosts and the dead and that kind of thing? [ cheers and applause ] i'd say i'm skeptical about these sorts of things but i'm also very open-minded. some would even say gay. [ laughter ] anyway. we were contacted by theresa caputo, who's known as the long island medium, she has a show on tlc, she communicates with the deceased. we invited her to come to l.a. to do a reading. somehow my whole family got involved in this.

oh my god. i'm good, how are you? right now i'm getting ready to sit down with jimmy and guillermo and i am nervous. look, i'm nervous before every reading but this is crazy. >> yeah, pretty crazy, i'd have to agree with teresa on that. guillermo's relatives come through, will they be speaking spanish? >> i'll know if someone's speaking another language. i don't hear spirits speak the way that you hear me speak. >> jimmy: so the language doesn't matter? >> no, it doesn't matter. >> jimmy: gotcha. >> guillermo: the language doesn't matter, it's about love. >> that's right, it's about love. >> jimmy: well said, guillermo. >> that's probably why he's here. >> guillermo: i never talked to dead people before. i was nervous. my stomach had like butterflies here, you know. i almost got diarrhea, you know. when i get nervous. >> i don't see the way we see her in the physical world. fy say to someone, there's a mother energy here, and you tell

it could be a grandmother, a mother-in-law, an aunt, or someone like a mother. >> jimmy: he doesn't like his mother-in-law, can we not let her in? >> unfortunately she's still with us. my mother-in-law, she drive me crazy, she try to boss me around, control me. tried to do like, oh, do this, do that, you know. you know what? i live day by day. i told her, relax, enjoy life, you know? she's very insane. >> jimmy: do you ever get contacted by famous people? >> i've seen souls that are celebrities. popped in for a reading. >> jimmy: it would be great if we could book elvis or something. any elvis coming through? >> no, but he is dead, i women say that. >> jimmy: he is dead, i had a feeling. >> for a tragedy like a snowmobile or ski accident, i'll see sunny bono. >> jimmy: you see sunny bono sometimes? >> yeah. >> jimmy: does he mention cher?

cher i said hello, tell chazz congratulations on "dancing with the stars," anything like that? >> no. >> jimmy: no? >> when the reading first started, you know, jimmy was like looking at me like, she's crazy. like, i don't know if i'm into this. i don't know who that is. i don't know that person. you see, this is the problem that i have. because you do know famous people. and of course you know famous people that have died, is that correct? >> jimmy: yes. >> i felt there was someone that was famous that died unexpectedly and that you did something in memory or for them, then they saluted you. so that's my symbol for -- i don't know if you spoke at their wake or funeral or you did something and paid your own tribute to them. >> jimmy: yeah, there's a lot of people -- >> john ritter? >> jimmy: yeah, john ritter -- >> not many people know that

john went to hollywood high, when he was here he was mentioning other people on the school wall. jimmy wanted to make that happen for him since he went there. >> jimmy: so i wrote jack. >> jack ripper! >> jimmy: i don't know who jack -- >> i kept saying, i don't know who that means. he told me, i was famous. did you do something in memory of him that was of honor? he salutes you. >> jimmy: send a note or something. >> you want a wrote, i'll write it. >> jimmy: that is nice. >> jack tripper. how's that? here's your [ bleep ] note. you happy? in the mail. >> honestly, guillermo seems more into what i do than jimmy. died? i dream of people who died. >> the difference between a dream and a visitation also when you remember the person -- it's vivid. as if it was real. as if they were standing there and it was real. that's a visitation. >> jimmy: who did you dream about?

that's departed? >> guillermo: i dream about my uncle frank. and i saw him in the table, i saw him -- >> was he a father figure to you? >> jimmy: he's my uncle, not your uncle, you remember that right? >> is that the father figure? >> guillermo: yeah, over the years he was like -- he was my uncle. everybody's uncle. >> how do you connect with the chest? heart, lungs? because i'm filling up with fluid. did i say something that you understand? >> lung cancer. >> she turned and looked at me. i was like, oh my god. i was open to it. >> how do you connect with coins? i'm sorry? >> my father. >> your father? >> jimmy: my cousin mickey is my uncle frank's daughter. she goes to mediums a lot. so they keep in pretty close touch. >> did you keep something of his that was unique? people keep an article of clothing or -- but i keep seeing

>> jimmy: he always wore shoes. you know. except for in bed. he didn't wear -- he always, right? >> guillermo: yeah. >> yeah. that's really -- that's [ bleep ] crazy, jimmy. >> jimmy: my uncle frank did wear shoes everywhere he'd go. i mean, it was like his thing. and so when teresa brought up the shoes -- i got chills. >> you knew him too? >> uh-huh. >> jimmy: her father, yeah. >> meanwhile. i have no idea that uncle frank's daughter, i'm talking to her. >> jimmy: that's my cousin. that's why. yeah. >> you think i know that's your cousin? >> jimmy: i assumed you were asking her -- >> how do i know that? they have me looking at her. when i'm channeling her father and the breath and the filling up with the fluid -- >> [ bleep ]. >> it's your uncle frank.

>> take your note. as long as you're happy with your note. >> jimmy: i was really happy to get my note from john ritter but the weird thing was -- i don't know, it seemed like 11 hours. the whole time uncle frank said nothing to me, nothing about me. and this bothered me because i'm self-centered. >> jimmy: he's not saying anything about me at all? >> no, this isn't about you. there's no place in you. you want to hear from uncle frank, he's channelling, now you're pissed that he's the only one, what else do you want? >> jimmy: that's what they say. >> i think jimmy is opening up to it a little bit more. you know, if he's a believer in mediums, that's not the goal. just as long as he knows that, you know, his uncle is here with us. >> jimmy: i was opening up. like a flower in spring. like a convenience store that never closes.

>> jimmy: that's uncle frank. that's uncle frank. wow. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: tonight on the show, we have music from kopecky. from "american crime" regina king is here. and we'll be right back with channing tatum.

[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: may i ask, when the screaming dies down, have you ever been to a medium or a psychic or anything like that yourself? >> i have been to more than i can count. >> jimmy: you have? >> yeah, my wife has like -- i would say a legion of light workers, psychics. we even have shamans. >> jimmy: you do? >> yeah, yeah. but, you know. some of them are better than others, you know. it's like a sliding scale. >> jimmy: where do you get a good shaman, craigs list? >> amazon. >> jimmy: they send those? >> they fly them in, drop them in your backyard, it's remarkable. >> jimmy: what is light work?

>> i have no idea. to be honest. no, but like -- there are good ones and bad ones. the worst one i ever had, you know, just sits you down. he's like, i'm feeling something. you're just holeding a lot of pain in your heart chalk ra, what is that? what your childhood, do you want to talk about it? you look like you need to cry, let it out. the whole hour he was trying to get me to cry. look, man, i've already cried about this stuff, i don't really want to cry about it, let's move on. >> jimmy: oh, wow. that's something. yeah that's really -- that whole thing. i guess it brings people comfort in various ways. >> yeah, hey. whatever gets you through your day, you know? that's what i say. >> jimmy: so psychics, yes, you have been involved. have you ever seen a ghost? >> no, not that i know of. >> jimmy: you've not. last year, over the course of this last year, you have been -- you must have a guardian angel. >> that's true.

tarantino's movie, coen brothers, these are directors that every actor dreams of working with. >> yeah. they're bucket list people. if you get one of them in a lifetime you should be good. >> jimmy: yeah. >> i've gotten two in one year, or three. coen brothers. >> jimmy: yeah. >> can't forget that. >> jimmy: lifetime, they tend to use the same actors over and over and over again in all their movies. so you might never work with another director again. >> i would be totally down for that. but i'll probably be the one they're like, we can do without him again. you'll know because like, oh, he didn't make it back. >> jimmy: what is your favorite coen brothers movie? besides the one that you are in. >> i could say some of their more obscure ones or their older ones. i didn't really know film when i was like growing up. so i think probably "brother where art thou" is my first one, oh my god that movie was so much fun. that was my first time i got to know them. i'd probably have to say that.

>> jimmy: did you meet them before you did this film? >> i met them once. i auditioned eight, nine, ten years before i did this movie. "no country for old men." and i was about 15 years too young for the part but i begged to just get an audition. >> jimmy: why? >> knew if i got into the room, by the time i left the room i'd be a better actor. and it worked. i was. i learned so much just in a very short amount of time with them. i also learned that you don't -- i knew i wasn't going to get the movie, like there was no shot at me getting the film. it released the expectation of getting it and i could just like listen to what they had to say and learn from it. >> jimmy: that's good. did they remember that? >> yeah, they did, yeah. i think. or they lied to me. >> jimmy: yeah, i mean -- yeah. >> they're like, yeah, you were great, great! >> jimmy: what's the worst audition experience you ever had? >> oh, yeah, that was -- that was "fast and furious 3." >> jimmy: really? >> "tokyo drift." yes, i was -- wanted to go to

and i remember -- i wanted to drift tokyo. >> jimmy: is that a good sign, when you're picking the film based on where you'd like to vacation? >> yeah, just really, really want to -- never been to tokyo! hear they have great food! no, i stopped in the middle of the audition. and i was like -- i think we're done, right? >> jimmy: you did? >> this is terrible. >> jimmy: why? >> i have no idea. i couldn't -- i don't even know if it was -- i block the it out, mainly. i don't remember the specifics. but i think it was a combination of probably me being just bad, not remembering the lines, like totally freaked out. i was probably sweating a lot. >> jimmy: it's a great lesson for kids. people say, keep fighting. no, just cut bait and give up. >> just get out of there. they didn't try to stop me. they were like, all right! it's probably a good idea. >> jimmy: your buddy and costar

"hail caesar." is that a coincidence? >> i guess it was. we both really wanted to work with coens. a funny story, we were both on the press tour for "jump street 2." we get in the straighter, going down to do something. you know. we're both trying to figure out how to tell. we're humble bragging. like, yeah, what'd you eat for lunch? yeah i got an e-mail from the coen brothers today. oh, yeah, weird, me too, what movie? we both are humble bragging to each other about the same movie and trying to get from the other one how big their part is. which part is your part? >> jimmy: at any point did you think it might be the same part? >> no. >> jimmy: you did not, okay. >> no, no. >> jimmy: all right. >> we don't really get the same parts. he's like an academy-nominated guy. i've never been nominated for an academy award. he gets different stuff. but i won. i won, i got a bigger part.

as soon as we go to commercial, believe me, i'll zero right in. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: i think you're such a great actress. i was watching you on "the leftovers." i said to my wife, she is such a great actress. how do you do these shows simultaneously? >> it is pretty fun and terrifying and all of that at the same time. a couple days i actually was shooting both shows on the same day. >> jimmy: both shows on the same day. >> yes, yes, yes. >> jimmy: you can't do that method actor thing where you're acting like the one person all the time. >> all the time, yeah, that you walk around as erika all the time and then walk around as terri all the time. those are the two roles that i play. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: which one am i, am i erika or terri right now? >> yeah, the wig kind of helped, you know. >> jimmy: yes, the wig does help. you are directing shows now as well. >> i am. i was able to come here because
