>> jimmy: welcome. i'm jimmy. i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. thanks to all of you for coming. excuse me. the streets are closed for blocks around. i'm dying. i've had a -- i've had a cough for like 19 days now. here, let me cough on you guys. excuse me. this is so unprofessional. i really apologize. especially on "star wars" night should not be happening. this is a very special night in our neighborhood. you can see all the storm troopers flooding the streets tonight. the world premiere of "star wars: the force awakens." the stars are starting to arrive.

i saw chewbacca at dry bar this afternoon getting a blowout. his hair was perfect. it's crazy out there. let's go live now to hollywood boulevard where guillermo is -- oh, look. [ cheers and applause ] guillermo is dressed as r dos d dos? >> rtoritos! >> jimmy: you're a big star wars fan? >> guillermo: not really. >> jimmy: look, behind you carpet. >> guillermo: wow, that's great, >> jimmy: grab him and throw him >> guillermo: you sure? >> jimmy: no, i'm not slur. so guillermo, tell us what's going on right now, what's happening? >> guillermo: we're here at the world premiere of star --? i know that part, yeah. >> guillermo: we're here with all the fans from the movie. >> jimmy: what are the name of

the guys in white standing right in front of you? >> guillermo: uh -- what are your names, guys? >> jimmy: no, i don't want their when do you know what they're called, the group of guys? >> guillermo: star troopers. >> jimmy: you can see we really sent the right guy out to the red carpet. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: so i know there are a lot of fans out there in the stands in costume. and i was thinking maybe it would be fun if you found the best 1s 1s ones and we have a costume contest. >> guillermo: sure. >> jimmy: not right now, we'll check back with you. you find them and may the force be with you, guillermo. >> guillermo: may the force be with you. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: unless you've been living under a rock you know "star wars" comes out everywhere on friday although they've been running a big ad campaign under rocks.

so even those people who live under them know about it. "star wars" is everywhere. they're predicting the film could gross more than $2 billion. the united states just promised $800 million as part of the press agreement to fight climate change. which means we're spending more than twice as much to see "star wars," as wear to save the actual world. fans have been camped outside for weeks. to see the first screening of the film. they're saying it could be the biggest and worst-smelling hollywood premiere of all-time. imagine 300 "star wars" fans who haven't bathed in days crammed into a windowless theater. this is why darth vader breathes through a filter. between black friday and "star wars" we could set the record for most americans to sleep on the sidewalk over a three-week period ever this year. the product tie-ins are unprecedented. for instance, these are "star wars" apples.

i don't know what makes them "star wars" apples other than they have "star wars" on the bag. but they are. these are "star wars" cheese-its. this is "star wars" soup. this is what darth vader would make when he had luke for the weekend. this is "star wars" go gurt. it glows in the dark? does this glow in the dark? it would make for a terrifying visit to the bathroom in the middle of the night. they even have "star wars" coffee mate, a limited edition of coffee mate. it's like "star wars" meets starbucks. what is with -- it's crazy. does anyone even eat in the "star wars" movies? yoda once ate a beef stick. jabba the hutt ate a frog. that's about it. "star wars" apples. kids really are dumb, that's the message there. sorry, i didn't realize there were kids in the audience.

awakens," his face was on go gurt, the great actor oscar isaac is with us. [ cheers and applause ] the most famous ballerina in all the land missy copeland is here with us. [ cheers and applause ] from jeff lynne's elo. donald trump is going to be here. today donald trump as promised releemsed a statement from his doctor about his health. he told us that his medical records would show "perfection." and what do you know. they did. this is the statement that was released today from dr. harold bornstein. to whom it may concern i have been the personal fit for donald trump, blah, blah, blah. please report he has no significant mental problems. he said trump's "physical strength and stamina" are extraordinary. and his blood pressure is "astonishingly excellent." and he finishes by saying, if elected mr. trump i could state unquestion ofcally will be the healthiest individual ever

how can he say that? presidents? this is like a medical evaluation of kim jong-un. there you go even donald trump's else's. you know, in iowa donald trump is now -- now trails ted cruz by 10 points. but he still leads in the new national poll. these two, ted cruz and donald trump, have been going back and forth. ted cruz has so far been careful not to say anything about donald trump. but some audio was released last week of cruz questioning trump's judgment at a private fund raiser. donald did not like that and on "fox news sunday" he said ted mine yak. that isn't the pot calling the kettle black and then demanding to see its birth certificate i don't know what is. this weekend. he sat down with chris wallace, he defended his plan to ban muslims from entering the country and cleared some things up. >> you say this is going to be temporary until we figure out in

your words quote what the hell is going on? >> it's temporary. they've got to help us -- >> you call our leaders in washington losers. >> i didn't say losers, i said they're stupid. >> okay. >> okay? >> jimmy: glad he cleared that up. diplomacy is about nuance, really. today was the busiest day of the year for the u.s. postal service. remember them? today's the day you walk in the post office and they go, well, well, well. look who's back. oh, you need priority mail? we'll get right on that. the post office is expected to ship about 600 million pieces of mail today alone. they ship an estimated 15.5 billion pieces of mail over the holidays. mail men work very hard this time of year delivering cards and catalogs. 99% of which we throw out immediately. when you think about it, being a mailman is like being a garbage man, except instead of taking the trash away, you're bringing it to the houses.

follow the other. delivering mail over the holidays is hard enough. this is what a mailman in cape cod had to deal with. wild turkeys following him around his route. what is there, like five? every day. >> jimmy: things have gotten so bad head to go out and purchase a turkey stick to protect it's like a thanksgiving nightmare, it really is. they do seem eager to help. maybe you should put them to work, get them little uniforms. it's time for what has become an annual tradition for us. each year you see thousands of products advertised on tv. since you may have missed one or two of these products we went through every infomercial, we narrowed it down to the essentials, must must-see items of 2015. if you're looking for a gift idea here are a lot of them in time for christmas. our fourth annual as teen seen on tv gift guide.

[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: so we finished with a big dance number. and i have to tell you, when we

did dance and all of a sudden it went from funny to me being nervous, i was nervous i was going to trample one of the dancers. does that happen? are there accidents? i know there are injuries. whatnot? >> yeah, i mean, that's the amazing thing about live theater. is that you're going to get whatever is happening in the moment. and whatever the audience is feeding you, you're going to react to that as well. but yes. >> jimmy: you've seen it happen? >> i've been a part of it many times and i've seen it happen. i think it's one of my favorite things about live theater is seeing those things happen. >> jimmy: is there one in you? >> yes. there was one moment in the ballet, human variations, a george ballanchine, made for american ballet theater, you would know. >> jimmy: you don't have to tell me, yes. >> i was with another soloist couple, we were doing these another girl.

and our tiaras got stuck together. apart. we were center stage. and the principal couple was coming forward. god! >> jimmy: like elk fighting in the woods, wow. that's pretty crazy. and does the audience laugh? or do people get angry? >> i don't know if they realized what was going on. you try your best to make it look graceful and like it's supposed to be happening. face. everything? brushing your teeth? is it just a beautiful thing? >> no, no. i'm very clumsy i would say. really? >> yeah. though, yes? >> yeah, that too. maybe that's why i'm so clumsy. >> jimmy: is that natural? or sit a combination of working on it too? >> it's a combination. i think that's why ballet was so easy for me is that my body was very loose and flexible. and i think i must have been

about 7 years old when i realized how flexible i was. i remember i woke up -- i'd never danced before. i had no training. i woke up one morning stretching my arms. and they weren't all the way over. i was holding my hands. i remember thinking, what just happened? i woke my mom up, look what i can do, look what i can do? she's like, that's weird. >> jimmy: this is like how spider-man got started. >> years later i think being a swan in "swan lake," having flexible shoulders helps. >> jimmy: can you still do that thing? >> i've never done it before -- yes, i can still do it. >> jimmy: you can, okay. will you do it? [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: wow. that's good. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: who knew that would come in handy? do you feel like you would be great at any kind of dancing? like were you involved in ballroom dancing or some other

>> i was always really drawn to music and movement. i don't know if i would have of movement. but i think that athletics just run in my family. like we're all pretty natural with movement and athletics. like my cavs, all of the copelands have them. we call them the copeland calves. >> jimmy: thank goodness for the copeland calves. you're doing a limited run performance here in san pedro, in that area in orange county? >> american ballet theater, yes. >> jimmy: the documentary is very, very interesting. " the nutcracker" runs through december 20th. "a ballerina's tale" is in itunes. thank you for coming, misty. be right back with jeff lynne's
