[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: hi, i'm jimmy. i'm the host of the show. thank you so much for coming.
11:36 pm
thanks for risking really everything to be here tonight. the unthinkable has happened. it's now been raining in l.a. for two days in a row. which is -- that's never happened before in our history. flash flood, high surf, and wind advisories are in effect. my doppler's been going nuts all day. of course this is the work of el nino, which is -- it's my favorite storm system that sounds like an early '80s latino boy band. [ laughter ] meteorologists say the storm is tied now for the strongest el nino storm ever. they say if it gets any stronger it could turn into a dwayne johnson movie. [ laughter ] the good news is i finally have an excuse to wear a very cute pair of wellies i bought back in 2012. somebody shot this video and post td to facebook. this is from not too far from here in highland park. you see the little parade of trash bins.
11:37 pm
street. it's like they're escaping. now, this -- whoever shot this decided to follow one of the -- [ laughter ] look at that little fella go. this could be a pixar movie, right? [ laughter ] call it "receptacles" or something. just kept hanging right around that curb there. until finally it met a tragic end. yeah. [ laughter ] why is that sad? why do we attach human qualities to everything? [ laughter ] let's go out to hollywood boulevard right now. okay. so guillermo -- we put a gopro on a toy boat, and guillermo is out there. he's going to drop that boat in the -- [ cheers and applause ] the little river that runs past our studio. and there it goes. you know, usually that gutter is full of passed-out supersureos. [ laughter ]
11:38 pm
going pretty good. pretty good clip. that's a little guillermo we put in the boat there to drive it. there you go. it's like a chase scene out of a bond movie. look at that. okay. there he is. kind of adorable. and now it's turned boring. [ laughter ] you know? it really -- perilous. he's making his way through these cars pretty well here. nicely -- i wonder if he'll get around that. no. that's where our story ends. [ cheers and applause ] you know when you're watching tv shows and they say you're going exciting. [ laughter ] tonight on the fox network -- by the way, the beginning of the end of an era, the 15th and final season of "american idol" is under way. "american idol" might be the biggest show in the history of television. at its peak more than 30 million and things will be different
11:39 pm
now if you want to see mentally ill people sing you'll have to go to the bus station. [ laughter ] but in honor of this historic television milestone we put together a salute to the most memorable "american idol" winners over the years. great names. names like, well, kelly clarkson. names like carrie underwood. you can see there, who became a huge star. jordin sparks, who was a winner of "american idol." taylor -- swift? no? taylor something. this one was sharon? i think. this guy is -- this is either steven or david or -- maybe a -- oh. wilson phillips. i know that one. [ laughter ] ja- -- i have no idea who that is. i don't -- i don't know that one. i definitely don't know that one. [ laughter ] you know what?
11:40 pm
this was a bad idea. [ laughter ] i did know carrie underwood. so that was pretty good, right? congratulations to them on their -- [ cheers and applause ] whatever they do. i really don't know what it was, but they did it. meanwhile, in north korea there's much celebration this week. north korea's claiming that they successfully detonated their first hydrogen bomb. >> [ speaking foreign language ]. >> jimmy: i don't know why that's funny, but it is.fected color television yet, but they do have a hydrogen bomb. [ laughter ] i should say they claim to have a hydrogen bomb. in fact, the white house today said the evidence, you know, they got the shock waves or oes not support their claim. but the north korean government released a statement that said, "nothing is more foolish than
11:41 pm
herds ofwolves." does that make any sense? [ laughter ] what are woflsz lves going to do with a gun? eat it?e the announcement, the people of north korea were like this is great, now can we have food and shoes?the dear leader of north korea, kim jong un, celebrated this alleged scientific achievement with a fresh new haircut thathter ] i think says it all. that's the rachel of north korea. [ cheers and applause ]t to bet we see someone with that very haircut at the grammys this year? oh, you're back? >> yeah. >> jimmy: how are you doing? >> good.eers and applause ] it was cold. >> jimmy: can i ask you a question? are you wearing a shirt under -- you're wearing a shirt uner >> yeah. >> jimmy: but why are your sleeves like completely

[ laughter ] i didn't know that. all these years, i didn't know you did that. >> no, this is the first: oh, it's the first time. see, i'm very observant. anyway, back to north korea. we're really spanning them mexico to north korea. you would think that the idea that north korea might have a
11:43 pm
alarming to those of west coast, but we went out on the street today and it seems like if you asked people a question in a cheerful enough manner we will -- we congratulations for just about anything. >> north korea announced that they finally were able to successfully detonate a hydrogenworld is excited. people are sending their congratulations. >> that's really good. >> would you like to congratulate north korea? >> congratulations, north korea. finally. i mean, it's about time, you you like to say congratulations to north korea? any words of encouragement for them? >> you know, i think that, you know, i think if you do believe that one day you canome true, i think. it's definitely a disney, you know, thing to do. >> would you say this is a great example of if you can dream it you can achieve it? >> for sure.ou can do it, then you can achieve it. >> and north korea has done that with the hydrogen bomb. >> and that's good for them. >> yeah, you to stick to your dreams and you know, anything can come true. yeah. so you know, we say they stuck
11:44 pm
>> especially with north korea and its hydrogen bomb. everyone's so excited for them, they're sending their congratulations. would you like to congratulate north korea? >> congratulations, north korea. congratulations, kim jong un, on everything you've done. you've done a really good job. keep it up. stay safe. good luck. >> congratulations on achieving rea. >> congratulations, north korea. it's a high five.

[ scanner warbling ] crazy that a big shot like me would pack his own bags, right?
11:48 pm
>> jimmy: welcome back. kathy griffin, aaron sorkin, andnet is on the way. but first i want to carve some time out of tonight's show to share something i figured out over the break. you know, we all exper in passive-aggressive behavior, but thanks to the way we use technology now there's a new way to be passive aggressive that's not as easy it's the passive-aggressive text message. now, if you don't know what i mean by that, here's an example. you ask a simple question like this.dave to dinner tonight? and the person to whom you're texting replies, sure, with an exclamation point. if you got this text you could e the person on the other end is happy about dave coming to dinner, maybe even excited about it. but what about this? you ask, can i bring dave to
11:49 pm
and your husband or wife ornd says, sure, with a period. almost an identical text, but the subtext -- instead of the exclamation point, exclamation point means i thought we were going out just the two of us or i don't care if dave comes or maybe it meansdave. [ laughter ] you don't know. well, let's look at another example here. simple message. you ask, can you pick up some milk on the way home? and your textmate course. if you got this, you can assume there will be a container of mill nic your frirnlth when this person gets home. but what question, can you pick up some milk on the way home? and the response is the letter k. [ laughter ] if you got this, i think you cann will get the milk but isn't happy about it. the letter k is like the text equivalent of rolling your eyes at someone. it's like what a you ask how her day was. a k is no good. but this might be worse. now, try again.
11:50 pm
way home? and the yup. yup translates to i'll get the milk but why the hell can't you get the milk? i'm working all day. yours to get milk and now i'm being asked to go get the milk. right? yup should never be confused with yep. yep's okay. yep is friendly. but if the e changes to a u that person probably wants to put you into a wood chipper. [ laughter ]re. maybe this might be the most passive aggressive of all the passive aggressive texts. it's this. this response. ha.ha says i acknowledge what you said was meant to be funny. it wasn't. but can you imagine in a joke and someone said ha? [ laughter ] you can't because no one would ever do that. if they did you would fight
11:51 pm
so just to recap, when using periods, yups and has. and most importantly, never, ever use your phone to make a caever do. [ laughter ] nobody likes that anymore. it's annoying. this is something that also involves our thumbs. y're exploring the possibility of expanding their limit of 140 characters per tweet to 10,000 characters per tweet.t makes twitter twitter? they might get rid of that. in fact, in other words, twitter is very close to inventing fa ] i don't like this. this is basically like if apple decided to change the iphone to a washing this is interesting. especially for those of you who are mothers to be. there's a new device that lets you play music for your fetus, for your unborn child.d baby pod. and it is -- it plays music when inserted into a music. like john mayer.
11:52 pm

[ laughter ]le are always coming up with ideas to play music for the unborn babies. has anyone ever considered it might be the only time in their whole lives when they get some peace and quiet a them alone? fwu you but if you do want to entertain your baby there's a new for women.
11:53 pm
mother. babies the womb. but what if there's a way to get music to your baby before it's even conceived? the dre present -- ballz by dre. the first ever high-quality headphones for testicles.nect ballz by dre to your smartphone, choose your favorite music, affix the headphones snuggly to your scrotum, and relax stimulated by high-fidelity ballz by dre. and you can pump up the bass for an even greater effect. a leading testicologist i have seen firsthand what this product can do. before ballz by dre these were lifeless.
