great night. >> announcer: from hollywood it's "jimmy kimmel live!" tonight queen latifah. john mcenroe. and music from mumford and sons. with cleto and the cletones. and now, buckle in, here's jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: thank you very much. that's very nice.

i'm jimmy, i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. i'm glad you're here. we have a very good lineup of guests for you tonight. queen latifah is here, john mcenroe is here. and muse trick minimumic from mumford and sons. i went to see mumford and sons at the forum monday night, great show. afterwards we went backstage to say hello to the band. on my way out there's a big bowl of apples and i grabbed an apple from the bowl. and i started eating the apples. as we're leaving my wife said, i have to go to the bathroom. i figured i'll go too, it's a long ride home. as i opened the men's room door i realize i have a problem. i have to undo my belt and, you know, the buttons on the fly, and i can't do that with one hand. i also don't want to set the apple down in the bathroom. this is where resourcefulness koochls in. i jam the apple into my mouth. like a suckling big. pig.

and i unbuckle everything. and as i stood there at urinal with an apple in my mouth i realize how ridiculous this must look. so i then went into my pocket and i got my phone and i took a picture of myself. and i believe we have it. yes. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] i don't usually take selfies. i felt weird about taking a selfie but i felt weirder about asking somebody in the bathroom to take the picture for me. a very famous artist commemorated the moment with a painting. that is me. in a derby. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] so that was fun. here's the thing. when i'm at a concert i cut loose. sometimes i'll have two or three apples in one night. the food and drug administration at long last has approved the first-ever prescription pill to enhance a woman's libido, a woman's sex drive. [ cheers and applause ] really?

i should probably buy stock, i guess. adie, which is nice for women named adie, it's like a guy being named viagra. it's been nicknamed pink viagra. they say it's like watching "magic mike" in a bottle, it's incredible. it's interesting how the drug actually works. you don't take it yourself. what you do is you give the pill to your husband and it makes him do the dishes, then you have sex. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] we hit the streets to ask women what they think. >> the agency approved the first prescription medication to boost the female libido. it's called addy. >> i wish it was there when my husband was alive, he would have enjoyed me taking it. >> jimmy: i bet he would have, i really do.

probably would have killed him if he wasn't gone already. you know, not everyone in the medical community is excited about addy. critics argue the benefits aren't worth the side effects, including fainting, dizziness, and sleepiness. although one doctor, a well-known obstetrician from brooklyn, he's got no problem with the side effects at all. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] he thinks it's just fine. isn't it weird a male libido pill came so long after one for -- most men can have sex at the drop of a hot, literally, if a sombrero fell on the ground could have sex with it. yet 17 years after viagra came out for this one. if you're in a relationship with a man has to take a pill to get an erection and a woman has to take one to get interested in that erection? maybe just watch tv instead. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] there's a lot of good shows.

meanwhile -- i've been following this story with the hackers and ashley madison, the website. last month these hackers, i don't know who they are, they're anonymous, announced that they breached the ashley madison website. this is the website where they say married people go to find other married people to have affairs, billed as the world's leading married dating service for discreet and counters. hackers got hold of what appears to be all of the user information. names, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, sexual preferences, for 32 million users. 32 million. there are only 150 million men in the united states. and half of them are either children or old. so if you're wondering if your husband's name is on there, yes, it is on there. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] he's probably sweating right now. the funniest part of the story is that, according to the hackers, members of the site were 95% men. almost no real female profiles. it was a bunch of men sending

messages to fake women who wouldn't respond to them. so these guys are about to get busted for signing up being on a website have an affair, when there's almost a 0% chance of have an affair. this is why we need the addy pill, get the numbers up for the ladies. a lot of kids have themed birthday parties, most kids. i've never heard of one that is as unique as what i'm about to show you. prairieville, louisiana. it involves a birthday party with a 2-year-old with unusual taste. >> a toddler became so obsessed with a local personal injury theme. >> kind of cool. it started with morris barts' ads which play on television. >> hurt in a car wreck? you know what to do. 525-[ bleep ] right now. >> grayson's mom says her sun is such a fan, whenever bart comes on television, grayson will stop and watch the commercial. these are pictures of the

[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: hi, grayson. grayson, we're on television. >> he wants to talk to you. jimmy? >> jimmy: grayson, do you love morris bart? ah. all of a sudden he's interested. huh? hey, what is the story with this? why does he love this personal injury attorney? >> i don't know r. i guess they just have really good advertising. it started when he was about 3 months old. my mother started watching him for me.

my husband had to go back to work. >> jimmy: yeah? >> my mom told me that it's the weirdest thing, that he loves the bart commercials. okay, well maybe he'll be quiet. >> it's my bart. >> it's your bart now? >> jimmy: who came up with the idea to have a morris bart-themed party? >> that was my idea. >> jimmy: that was your idea. when you went to the bakery and asked the people there to make a morris bart cake, what was their reaction? >> they thought i meant bart simpson. >> my bart! >> jimmy: oh, they did. then you explained. did you hear from morris bart himself? >> we did. >> bart, bart, bart, bart, bart! bart! >> jimmy: you know what, i think he wants morris to sue you for that haircut. oh, too much? is it too much? could you hold on for one second? okay, now turn that off for one sec.

they can't hear me now. so here's the thing. we want her to do something fun for grayson. we got the actual morris bart, the lawyer, he's outside their house right now, he's going to walk in and surprise them. they don't know it. let's put them back up. hi, okay, can you hear me now? >> yeah. i can. >> jimmy: sorry, i needed to talk to the audience. so you had the cake made. what happened to grayson by the way? he's gone? >> yeah. he left me. >> jimmy: oh, he did, okay. well, we have a little bit of a surprise for him. and for you as well. right behind you, if you look -- >> bart, bart, bart! [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> hi! >> jimmy: that's morris bart. yeah, if we could go in front of the camera that would be great. that's a bag morris is carrying.

oh, look at that. >> grayson? >> jimmy: is grayson excited? morris? >> he's so excited. >> he still hasn't met him. come meet bart, baby. >> jimmy: this is why we have cameramen in television in general. where is grayson? >> well, i've got a minion. >> jimmy: you brought him a minion? morris, you're spitting on yourself. >> oh, no, sorry. >> jimmy: there he is. grayson. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: grayson, are you excited about being morris? >> who's got you? >> am i morris bart? >> that's your bart. >> he was excited when i came in. >> yeah. >> jimmy: i think we just exploded his little brain is what happened. >> yeah, he laid on the ground for a second. >> jimmy: he did? >> he fell down. >> jimmy: i bet you get that

reaction a lot, morris, right? >> well, i don't know. this is the first for me. >> jimmy: you brought a little gift for grayson, isn't that correct? >> i did bring a gift. hopefully he'll end up being a lawyer on television one day. >> jimmy: i hope so, i hope so. >> got to have -- he's got to have the look. >> jimmy: there you go. that's very nice. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: thank you, grayson. thank you, morris. thank you, erin. >> thanks, jimmy. >> thanks so much. >> jimmy: i'll leave you guys to spend the evening together. thanks so much. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: we have to take a break. when we come back from the break, i have video of the group mumford and sons from way back when they were a boy band. and so stay with us or all will be lost. we'll be right back.

[ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: speaking of bars and clubs. last time you were here, we just touched on this, didn't get a chance to talk about it a whole lot, you were talking about your early days starting as a rapper, traveling around the country. did you even have a tour bus? >> no, we definitely had tour

buss at some point for longer tours. >> jimmy: later on. >> some thing wet took a van. we'd take a van. east coast runs, a bunch of colleges you could play, you just piled everybody in a van. because it was cheaper. we couldn't afford a tour bus for those things. one time i remember we drove -- we had a show at u-mass. university or amherst or something. we drove to amherst, new york, and we were supposed to be in amherst, massachusetts. and we got to the college and we're like, where is it? it's not really popping around here. so we're asking students. where's the show? they're like, what? where are you? we showed somebody the paper. they're like, you're at the wrong school. you need to drive -- so we had to like jump back in the van and drive another hour and a half, two hours, haul behind my manager's brother paul was our driver and we got there just in time to make the show. >> jimmy: stupid paul.

[ cheers and applause ] i want to continue the lovemaking. thank you. >> jimmy: you were one of the first athletes to sign with nike, to have an endorsement deal with nike in the '70s, way before michael jordan. did you have overlap during the jordan era? >> i started six, seven years before mike are michael jordan. here's the best part. michael jordan, you mentioned the great athletes, he's one of my favorite all-time athletes.

recently at chris chelios, great hockey player, his hall of fame induction -- can i say one quick hello? malibu, i have a home there. michael jordan told me, remember when we played basketball in georgia, kenny rogers' place, we did this great thing? >> jimmy: the story gets better and better and better. you're playing basketball with michael jordan at kenny rogers' house? i hope you're eating his chicken. >> mumford and sons were there, amazing! larry bird! you name it. isaiah thomas. the top basketball players of all-time. and michael jordan said to me, which i would give millions of dollars for out of the money that i've -- hard-earned money i've made in tennis, he said i was a good basketball player. >> jimmy: he did? >> he said that i was a good basketball player. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: you don't have any evidence of it. >> i don't have any evidence. >> jimmy: if i run into him i'm going to pull out my camera and try to get him to say that.

greeting. >> you do a lot of those youtube -- >> jimmy: we'll get on youtube. >> i would get you -- >> jimmy: how much? >> $5,000. >> $50. >> jimmy: too late, you said $5,000. the u.s. open is coming up. that's your domain, right? [ cheers and applause ] >> a lot of energy. night matches. people have had a couple pops. those. >> i won four. >> jimmy: four singles, right? >> four singles. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: you won doubles? >> i won i believe four doubles. >> jimmy: why don't the doubles count as much? >> doubles don't count as much because they're not as good as the singles players. >> jimmy: really? >> they're sort of like the slower version of the singles guys. >> jimmy: it's always a weird thing to me that the singles are so important, but then you'll go out there and potentially exhaust yourself playing doubles matches at the same time. >> that's why no singles players play doubles. >> oh. >> i thought doubles is a good

way for me to sort of practice, get some reps in. i didn't like to train in the gym as much as some of the players these days. nowadays they figured out a way to max out, they're like machines now. >> jimmy: you were just all kind of physical hip. >> we tried to see how well we could do by -- i wanted to be a little bit of like a rock star type of tennis player. like, could you possibly be number one and to some degree burn the can on both ends? >> jimmy: and the answer was yes? >> the answer was yes for a while. it caught up to me eventually. >> jimmy: i wouldn't like to see you smoking while you play. serena williams is the big story at the u.s. open. she's calendar grand slam. >> that's what she's going for, explain what that is. >> winning our four biggest titles, one of which is the u.s. open, wimbledon, french open, australia, all in the same year. the last player to do that was steffi graf, who's probably the second-greatest player that ever lived behind serena.

she did that 1988. before that it was done i think 1950. so this is very, very rare. >> jimmy: have you ever hit with serena? >> i have hit with serena. >> jimmy: if you played a serious match, who do you think would win that match? >> my daughters are over there. i think it's mixed. they think i'd probably lose to serena. i believe that i could still take her. >> jimmy: you do? [ cheers and applause ] >> 15 years ago, donald trump, who seems to be in the news a little bit -- >> jimmy: he's going to be our president soon, yes. laugh live. >> going to be the president, he made an offer which i felt like was not enough, and i think he was humoring the two of us. serena, she's got a lot to lose by losing to an old fart like myself. >> jimmy: right, it's not a great deal for her. >> if i lose to god forbid a woman, then i'm not allowed in any men's locker room for the next 15 years or possibly the end of my life. so that's part of why it's intriguing. >> jimmy: yeah.

>> if they pay the type of money that pacquiao and what's that other guy? >> jimmy: mayweather. by the way, that would be a great double bill. pacquiao and mayweather, the rematch. then afterwards we expand the boxing ring, you and serena get in there, or just move over -- >> i don't think i could take her in the ring. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: no, okay. very good to have you here. i could ask you 100,000 questions but these people don't want that. the u.s. open starts august 31st, espn. john mcenroe. thank you, john. we'll be right back with mumford and sons!
