>> dicky: from hollywood - it's ?jimmy kimmel live!? tonight -- jennifer connelly. espn's stephen a. smith. and music from crx. and now, for the most part, here's jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] ? >> jimmy: i'm jimmy, i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. thanks for coming.

breakfast this morning? just woke and up had cereal? wow, not that many. the reason i ask is because i guess according to a new study, americans are not eating anywhere near as much cereal. everything else we're eating a lot more of but not cereal. since 2009 sales of breakfast cereals are down 17%. in the breakfast world types are tough. the rabbit from trix is now turning them. part of the reason is because it for real, that's real. don't forget the spoon. wouldn't you be embarrassed to admit that's why you don't eat cereal? maybe we should put the cereal in a trough by the door, stick our heads in it as we go out to work like horses or something. i used to love cereal, checking account chocula, fruity pebbles. i find this news kind of depressing. although i'm not entirely sure why. the cereal was never really

but i do believe in lucky charms would just stick with marshmallows and get rid of those stupid little oat pieces or whatever -- [ cheers and applause ] to you eat cereal? >> guillermo: no, oatmeal. >> jimmy: when you were a kid did you love cereal? >> oh, yeah. >> jimmy: what was your favorite of the cereals? >> clet >> guillermo: honey nut cheerios. >> jimmy: donald trump, donald trump tweeted up a storm today. he lashed out at a number of republicans, the ones who have been distancing themselves from him. he called the speaker of the house paul ryan, who's a republican, a weak and ineffective leader. he called john mccain foul-mouthed. he said democrats are more loyal to each other than republicans are. he also tweeted this. he said, it so is nice the shackles have been taken off me

the way i want to. this is how he's been behaving with shackles on? [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] if those shackles come off -- he's going to kill somebody. he's going after -- he went after everybody. a number of cable news outlets called ate tweet storm. and during this terrible tweet storm irk think we should take a moment to acknowledge donald trump's thumbs because those chubby little baby carrots have been working so very hard lately, they' nubs and i applaud them for doing so much work. trump has been swinging the hammer in person. he was in pennsylvania rehashing the debate. one of his better moments during the debate was when hillary clinton claimed to have been speaking about abe lincoln when she was explaining a leaked transcript of a wall street speech, and trump is not one to let something like that go. >> how did hillary clinton try to defend the shocking admission? she didn't deny she said this awful thing.

inking. honest abe. >> what? [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: by the way, honest abe inking would be a great name for a tattoo parlor, right? [ laughter ] trump also grabbed a youngster from the audience, a child that looked like him, who unwittingly helped us with tonight's kid-friendly edition of donald trump. [ tape playing very slowly ] >> are you having a good time tonight? >> night. >> where's your daddy? and your mommy? right? do you want to go back? do you want to go back to them or do you want to stay with

[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: so some more backstage donald trump locker room talk was released yesterday in a transcript of unaired footage from "the apprentice" in 2010. donald allegedly insulted the skin of a female musician who appeared on the show, he said her skin sucked and she needed serious one of the nicer things he's said recently. frustrating as this time has been for donald trump it's been even more frustrating for the so-called surrogates they put on cable news to support him every day. these are mostly women who have to go on tv to try and defend these things. i thought this was creative. this is how trump supporter betsy mccoy, former lieutenant governor of new york, tried to shift focus from donald to hillary by way of beyonce.

cheap language on that bus, horrific. but in fact she likes language like this. "i came to slay bitch when he f me good i take his ass to red lobster." >> did she say that? >> that happens to be a line from beyonce, a performer whom she says she idolizes and would like to immate. you know what i'm saying to you? there's a lot of hypocrisy. >> jimmy: well. [ laughter ] i think you might be high-pocrisy, because that is one of the naughtier things i've heard so far. [ cheers and applause ] i don't know, but has she seen what beyonce will do with a baseball bat? here's another one. this is the defense of trump scotty nell hughes gave anderson cooper last night. >> do you agree what he described on that tape is sexual assault in the department of

without explicit consent. >> yes, if that was the action, but those are just his words. >> he was just bragging about sexual assault? he didn't actually commit -- >> unfortunately we have made that to be sort of a part of a culture, a "fifty shades of grey" culture that men can talk like that. >> where have we made it okay to talk like that? >> 80 million copies of "fifty shades of grey" was sold. "magic mike" was one of the most popular -- >> i didn't read the relationship. >> no, it was not all the time, the things that were not were not. you look at the vampire trilogy -- >> jimmy: you know what, that's what this election is missing. vampires. [ laughter ] meanwhile, billy bush who was the other half of locker room talk on that "access hollywood" tape is reported to be exiting nbc and the "today" show. he's suspended from the show yesterday, now the reports are that he's going to be gone permanently. which goes to show you nothing

[ laughter ] this donald trump will not rest until every bush is destroyed. he started with jeb -- [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] next billy. look out, barbara. you might be next. meanwhile, wikileaks is leaking again. the last few days they've released more than 3,000 new e-mails hacked presumably by russia from staffers on the clinton campaign. donald trump told his supporters yesterday he loves wikileaks. and he also loves nene leakes. [ laughter ] of course he loves wikileaks, they don't have to release anything crazy on him because he already does that on twitter every day himself. but you have to wonder, russia and wikileaks, helping them to publish these private e miles to interfere with our elections, this is an aggressive act -- what's going on? >> james kimmel. >> jimmy: what? yes? >> you have mocked wikileaks for

we unlock governments. we make oceans of knowledge. and now the time has come for the world to see exactly who you are. >> jimmy: what does that mean? >> we have your e-mails, jimmy kimmie@yahoo.com. >> jimmy: that's a private e-mail! >> we are wikileaks! nothing is private! much like your e-mail >> jimmy: that was for gary alone! >> dear home down buffet, i have been a loyal customer more than 48 hours. when i visited your restaurant in anaheim this weekend i was disappointed to find no toasted bread crumbs on the mac and cheese! get it together or i'm done with you.

>> jimmy: i was angry. >> gary replied -- >> jimmy: please don't read gary's reply. >> dear mr. kimmel, as i explained to you in person, your behavior last sunday could only be described as vile and unsanitary. when i explained that we were temporarily out of toasted bread crumbs for our macaroni and cheese, you threw ham and gravy at me and at a number of our customers. again, you are no longer permitted at hometown buffet restaurant. you have violated everything hometown buffet stands for. please do not contact me again. sincerely, gary. >> jimmy: let me just say, there are a lot of jimmy kimmels out there. my dad's jimmy kimmel. that could have been him -- >> you replied at 3:13 a.m. -- >> jimmy: i didn't -- i did? >> do you have any idea who i am? i am jimmy kimmel!

buffet i want. [ cheers and applause ] cross me again, gary, and i will kick you so hard it will hurt. >> jimmy: that's enough, stop it already. why are you doing this? i don't understand -- >> the secrets of the powerful will be exposed in a horrifying light of truth. we are infinite. we are unstoppable. we are wikileaks! >> ryan? who are you talking to? >> no one! again? >> mom! >> jimmy: well. [ cheers and applause ] i hope he gets grounded. a very deep voice that boy has. is it so wrong to suspect excellence from our hometown buffet? i don't think so. this is something you will not find on wikileaks but it might help explain all the sniffling in these debates lately. this is from pennsylvania, this

[ tape playing fast. ] >> rudy giuliani said you're not going to believe this look at this we have all these new charges you see it just came down today wikileaks brutal stuff i'll read it to you but trust me it's real bad stuff. >> jimmy: we're going to take a break. when comany come back community activists go to a nascar event to ask drivers and fans to slow it down. stick around, we'll be right back. [ cheers and applause ] ? i'll have that goat cheese garden salad. that gentleman got the last one. sir, you give me that salad and i will pay for your movie and one snack box. can i keep the walnuts? sold. but i get to pick your movie. can i pick the genre? yes, but it has to be a comedy. a little cash back on the side. with the blue cash everyday card from american express, you get cash back on purchases with no annual fee.

>> jimmy: welcome back to the show. stephen a. smith and music from crx is on the way. but first, the paqui carolina reaper chip is the hottest chip out there.

in my office, i believe it set my brain on fire. it's the hottest thing i've ever tasted. and, of course, i wanted others to have this experience too, so my cousin sal invited people strolling by our studio to try the chip, so that they too might fear the reaper. >> sal: cousin sal on hollywood boulevard. we'll find out how many people can get through the paqui one-chip challenge. my guess, zero. there's your chip, read it, and we're going to have you read something. good, you went right for it. reading to. >> said aside same old snacks -- flavorful chips are the newest on the block -- >> that's crazy. they pack legit taste. these are real ingredients. there's nothing artificial. >> sal: what are you crying about? do you want to talk about this? >> it hurts so bad! >> the paqui chip, the hottest chip on the planet. >> it's seasoned with real

in clinical trials, most adults taking humira were clear or almost clear, and many saw 75% and even 90% clearance in just 4 months. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. ask about humira, the #1 prescribed biologic by dermatologists. clearer skin is possible. inside the rack houses of jim beam, every barrel is aged four long years, for a fuller, smoother flavor. our history is made from the inside.

[ laughter ] >> jimmy: you don't mind it. >> it doesn't bother me. i mean, you >> jimmy: you don't live for it? it's not your goal? >> it's not necessarily my goal, but again, you want a reaction. because you want people to care about what you have to say. at the same time, you want a reaction, but you don't particularly care what the reaction is. i'm one of those guys, there's a lot of people, they really, really care. they want to be liked. my guy max kellerman loves to be liked. i don't particularly care. [ laughter ] i actually assume that on most

people are going to love me, i just do. i just do. i just do. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: i know we're speaking about your professional life. does that apply to your personal goings-on as well? >> i wouldn't go that far. i mean, i do got to work at that. i'm the young els of six, i was raised by four wonderful sisters and the greatest mama in the world. but i call them wonderful now. >> jimmy: i see. >> growing up throughout my life -- jimmy, they were cruel to me.

degrees. arlen is walking, pull the covers off of you. wake up! you're freezing. and then she would always tell if you tried to skip school, if you tried to fake sick, she would tell. >> jimmy: a rat. >> yes, she was. [ laughter ] >> she was. and then as i got a little bit older, my sister abigail, she was wonderful. but she was a little jealous of me. >> jimmy: she was? >> because i got preferential treatment, i'm the baby boy. >> jimmy: right. >> you know. now. i'm still spoiled. >> are you really? >> by mama. nobody else, by mama. my mother's west indian, from st. thomas, virgin islands. my mother cooks the beef patties and the coconut -- for example, i've got 13 kneelses and nephews, four sisters, cousins. my mama's cooking a whole bunch of stuff, there is food set aside for me. she knows. she knows.
