see you tomorrow. and now abc's "jimmy kimmel live"! >> dicky: from hollywood it's "jimmy kimmel live"! tonight, tobey maguire -- dale earnhardt, jr. -- and music from kip moore with cleto and the cletones. and now, why not, here's jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ]

i'm jimmy, i'm i'm host. thanks for watching. thanks all of you for coming. it's a very big night. we really appreciate it. a big night for the united states of america. tonight the republican candidates for president gathered to debate at the reagan presidential library, not too far from us here in simi valley. debates are a great way to learn about candidates. for example, tonight i learned there were people running for president other than donald trump. were you aware of that? [ laughter ] there are 11 candidates on the main debate, which is i think about the same number of contestants they have the first week of "american idol." it's a lot. allowing 11 candidates to debate is the adult version of giving every kid on the soccer team a participation trophy. donald trump didn't like it. this afternoon he tweeted, will be headed over to the debate

soon, can you believe cnn is milking it for almost three hours, too long, too many people on stage. i think he would prefer to be the only person on the stage. [ laughter ] pts [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: that's not debating, that's master-debating and you can't do that. trump gave a speech from the deck of a battleship where he warned us about crime and drugs coming from down below. >> there's tremendous crime. there's tremendous drugs pouring across across the border. tremendous. going to chicago, going to new york, going to l.a., going all over our country. so the drugs pour in and the money pours out. not a good deal. we get the drugs, they get the money. the drug cartels are going wild. they cannot believe how stupid our government is. they are making a fortune. the drugs come in, the money goes out, daily. >> jimmy: he's right, we have to start making drugs in america again, american drugs.

[ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: drugs pour in money goes out. it's very sing-songy. it's even better if you set it to music. the drugs pour in the money pours out going to chicago going to new york going to l.a. the drugs come in the money pours out not a good deal [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: this is good. this is something donald trump should definitely address. it comes to us from progressive field in cleveland during last night's game between the indians and the royals. usually when achieved hits a home run in their home stadium, firework got off. that is not supposed to happen for the visiting team. >> high drive, deep left field, if it's fair it's gone -- and it is a home run. deep onto the porch in left field. and kansas city's lead is 2-0.

[ fireworks popping ] >> they started the fireworks, whoops. someone stepped on the button. oh, boy. it's very sad. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: his wife is like, he does that at home too. now obviously that was a mistake but it is nothing compared to what happened at this high school football field in elgin, illinois. >> the high school football team may have a find a new field after a maintenance mix-up. crews put weed killer on the field at elgin edwards high school instead of fertilizer. i know, right? >> jimmy: the same guy. what are the odds? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: back to the debate. the debate is the big story. we're 14 months away from the election. i'll admit our supply of donald

trump jokes is dangerously low right now. there's been so much focus on donald trump, it's hard to meet the constant demand for jokes about his hair, his ego, all the things that make donald trump so trumpy. that is why from time to time i am not embarrassed to admit i outsource our joke-writing to a company in india. and they're very good. with the debate going on tonight i thought now would be a good time to check in with them to see if they have anything i can use. let's get them up on video chat if we could. okay, hello, hello? >> welcome to tgi friday's reservation hotline. which one of our 49,000 quality restaurants would you like to make a reservation? >> jimmy: no, i actually don't want to make a reservation at tgi fridays. do they even take reservations? i know, i was calling for another -- yes? >> that's okay. balkans are -- >> jimmy: no, i'm not hungry. >> every day is friday! >> jimmy: i've heard that. it's me, jimmy kimmel, i'm

calling for jokes. >> mr. jimmy kimmel? >> jimmy: yes. >> you are not jimmy kimmel. >> jimmy: what, is the connection bad? yes, i am, what's going on? >> no, no, no, no. what is that thing on your face? >> jimmy: you know what, i grew a beard since the last time i saw you so you're probably -- >> oh, ha ha ha! mr. jimmy kimmel, mr. jimmy kimmel! we were hoping your cheeks were covered with our signature buffalo sauce. >> jimmy: no, it's hair. i'm just looking for jokes about donald trump if you have them. >> oh, donald trump, you came to the right place. >> jimmy: slept. >> i'm getting our number one donald trump joke now. i don't know but i've been told donald trump is turning red more donald >> jimmy: it's not my birthday. it is not my birthday.

>> it's not your birthday? >> jimmy: no, it's not my birthday. i'm looking for donald trump jokes. >> donald trump jokes, yes. >> jimmy: okay, great, all right, good. oh, great. >> these will knock your socks off. >> jimmy: okay, good, all right, i'm ready. it's a great-looking wig. >> ready, jimmy? >> jimmy: what? >> you ready? >> jimmy: yeah, i'm ready. >> okay. joke number one. >> jimmy: okay. >> how many donald trumps does it take to build a wall? >> jimmy: i don't know, how many donald trumps does it take to build a wall? >> zero! he will make the mexicans build it for him! >> jimmy: onh, okay. >> ha ha ha! >> that's the greatest joke! >> jimmy: maybe not the greatest joke. it was good, though. it was solid. can we hear another one? do you have anything else? >> yes, jimmy. >> jimmy: okay, good. >> joke number two. >> jimmy: okay. >> what did donald trump say when he declared bankruptcy?

>> jimmy: what did donald trump say when he declared bankruptcy? when he declared bankruptcy what did he say? >> i don't have to pay! >> he has toupee. >> jimmy: right. >> i don't have to pay! >> jimmy: he'll say that a lot. all right. that's good. okay, yeah, i got that one. >> i don't have to pay! >> jimmy: do you have anything else? maybe something really big, a closer, something we can end on a strong note with. >> mr. jimmy kimmel, can you say the word [ bleep ] on your show? >> jimmy: no, we cannot say that word on the show. >> oh. >> jimmy: does that ruin the joke? >> pardon me. can you say the word wind from the ass of a man? >> jimmy: wind from the -- yeah i think we can say that yes. >> how is donald trump like indian food? >> jimmy: i give up, how is donald trump like indian food?

from the ass of a man! ha ha ha! >> jimmy: all right. that was not really the closerer i was looking for. but thank you so much for your help. i don't know but i've been told [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: we have to take a break. but when we come back, facebook is about to launch a dislike button, which i like. and we quiz people on the street to find out how much they know about those men and women running for president, which turns out isn't that much. do your civic duty and stick

[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: welcome back. tobey maguire, dale earnhardt jr., and music on the way. first i want to tell you big news from facebook. according to ceo mark zuckerberg, facebook is working on a dislike button which means we can now be unproductive and mean all at the same time. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: i don't know about you guys but i will tell you right now, this dislike button, i have friendships and relationships with family members that will not survive this. havoc will be wreaked. zuckerberg says the dislike button is not meant to be used for negative purposes, it's supposed to be used to express empathy. say your friend posts on facebook that her grandma died. you don't want to click the like button. her grandmother's ghost might haunt you or something. you can click dislike. you say, grandma died? i don't like that at all, i dislike.

right? you know, previously, if you wanted to dislike a facebook post by a friend you had to take a screen grab and secretly text to it all your other friends to make fun of it in a small group without the person who posted it seeing. now it's so much easier. thank you, mark zuckerberg. i for one will be glad to give you -- [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: the big topic, the republican debate. actually, that wasn't just one debate there were two. there were so many republican candidates they couldn't fit them all on stage. there are 15 prominent republicans running for president. and the field is actually surprisingly diverse. there's a female candidate, an african-american candidate, two latinos, one indian-american, nine white men, and there's a baby running also. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: just to give you a sense what the republican field is -- guillermo, bring in the ducks. have you seen these ducks? these ducks are -- i'll show you

thank you, guillermo. they're kind of terrifying. guillermo, what happened? i thought you were going to help me with this. >> guillermo: oh, i'll help you, you didn't ask me. >> jimmy: this is why donald trump wants to kick you out. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: i'm not the one. help me gather up 15 ducks. we need exactly 15. >> all right, five. >> jimmy: eight. ten. i need tive more. >> 13. two more. >> jimmy: 15. thank you, you can take that. all right. this is what the republican field is like. guys, what is your plan to help the middle class? [ duck honking ] >> jimmy: see what i'm saying? what about amnesty for illegal immigrants already in the united states? [ duck honking ]

with these? >> guillermo: put it back. >> jimmy: all right, all right. the republican field is -- i'll hold on to it. it's so jam packed with hopefuls right now, it's hard to distinguish who's who. which made me wonder -- [ duck honking ] >> jimmy: i can't move or they keep talking -- how much voters actually know about anyone other than donald trump. we went on the street and asked people, if given the choice of three, can you identify the republican candidate for president? >> can you tell us which of these people is running for president? >> um -- him? >> that is jorge ramos. news anchor for univision. how do you think he's going to do? >> bad. >> i'm going to guess this gentleman here. >> jerry mathers. senator jerry mathers from beaverton, usa. >> okay. >> this guy. >> that's right.

actually, he's already the president. >> no, he's not. >> thursday nights. check your local listings. >> i'm going to guess this guy. >> that is right. that's former police commissioner steve guttenberg. >> yeah, is that 3 for 3? >> i'm going to guess that guy, looks shifty. >> that's right, benson was always up to something. >> that's his name, benson? it's not a trick question? it's none of them? >> it's none of them? >> it's none of them. >> it's that one. >> dammit. all right. >> want to try again? >> yeah, let's do one more. >> which one of these guys is running for president this. >> that one. >> tell us your name. >> damarius campbell. >> can you tell us which of these people is running for president? >> hillary clinton. isn't it supposed to be hillary clinton? is one of them hillary clinton? >> i know you tried to dress

i bet when you take those glasses off, shake that hair out, you are beautiful. >> am i doing it right? >> gorgeous.

you get braver each day, with each trip to the store or wherever. >> jimmy: i love the idea that you of all people were in a position where you were -- if you're nervous on the autobahn? i mean, what hope is this for any of us? >> i couldn't believe it, no speed limit. >> jimmy: i have to say i love this. you built a -- like a town for yourself in north carolina? you were inspired by willie nelson? >> yeah, a western town. >> jimmy: he's got his own town and you built your own town where your buddies hang out. tell us some of the things you have. >> it's a western town. we wanted to drink beer ask party. this is about 15 years ago. we built this western town. started with a saloon, partied in it. a hotel. then we built a church. and a jail cell. and all this. we just -- >> jimmy: everything you need. >> kept adding to it. we -- when you go down there you want to feel like you're in the wild west. we had to have the street long. >> jimmy: you imprison your friends in the jail cell? >> only twice.

>> jimmy: who are the friends that got locked up? >> a buddy that was just too wasted. sxifs like, party's still -- it's early, party's still going, i'm not going to watch you the rest of the night, so you stay here. i'm going to lock this cage up, make sure you don't go anywhere, i'll get you in the morning. >> like otis on "the andy griffith show." >> yeah. then i punched a guy so we put him in there as a time-out. >> jimmy: you know, i'm sure that's illegal. that's actually like kidnapping or something. false imprisonment -- >> it was a great idea when we thought about it. now i hook at it, frits ning. >> jimmy: is there a mayor of the town? >> it's not really a town. >> jimmy: just looks like a town. >> yeah. >> jimmy: you've built a tree house. we have a photograph of the tree house in front of the lawn. this is quite a tree house. you built this thing? >> yeah, we actually -- i wanted to build the tree house before the western town. >> jimmy: looks like a family

>> it's got a loft, it's got cable tv, wi-fi. nice deck on the back. >> jimmy: do people stay in there when they come to your house? >> you could. there's no plumbing. >> jimmy: there's no plumbing, oh. >> it's built down in late bit of a floodplain. if you put plumbing in the floodplain, the septic smell gets kind of bad. >> jimmy: i see. >> so -- >> when you have to pee you go out the side? >> we built an outhouse for the ladies. >> okay. >> if the guys use it the ladies won't use it. go. >> jimmy: are the ladies going up in the tree house for more than one minute to look at it? >> it's nice in there. it's got a refrigerator and everything. my fiancee helped me design it. >> jimmy: she's supportive? i was wondering if this is now all this fun is about to come to a stop. she's going to say, okay, we're boarding up the prison. >> right. >> jimmy: and the tree house is for children. oh, boy.

i'd love to be one of your kids. will you adopt me? >> you can come visit the tree house. >> jimmy: that would be nice. last time you were here, you didn't exactly understand, correct me if i'm wrong, didn't seem like you understood the process of elimination. >> the chase. >> jimmy: the chase system. >> i didn't know the rules. it was the first year. i didn't -- i figured i'd find out. >> jimmy: you figured you'd just go out there and win. >> and that's all that matters. yeah i know the rules now. >> jimmy: that's good. >> yeah, we're starting our chase, our first race this weekend in chicago. ten races, ten weeks in a row, for the championship, 16 guys. i'm in there. we're all starting pretty much from scratch. >> jimmy: you get eliminated? >> yeah, you go three races and they eliminate four. three more races, eliminate four more. they keep on eliminating guys. the last race, the last four remaining guys, one race for all the marble. >> this is a cutthroat kind of thing?

last year we had fights spilling out of the cars into the pits, people were getting punched, people that weren't even in the fight were getting punched. drivers that weren't even in the middle of the problem on the track were in the fights. it was just mayhem. >> jimmy: i like this. wrestling and racing have come together. >> yeah. >> jimmy: maybe you start spelling racing with a "w." it's very good to see you. i'm glad you're still up to shenanigans. i can't wait to see what you've built. plans for anything weird? >> nowho knows. >> jimmy: i suggest a wiffleball stadium.
