12:03 am
>> yeah, it's good. you should try this. >> jimmy: what is that? >> it's a beer sandwich. >> jimmy: a beer sandwich? [ laughter ] looks really good. let me know when it's done. >> i will.

>> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live"! tonight -- daniel craig. "twilight" author stephenie meyer. and music from boys like girls. with cleto and the cletones. and now, first of all, here's jimmy kimmel! ♪ it's "jimmy kimmel live" [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: thank you. welcome. gracias. that's very kind. thank you for coming. thank you for watching. i'm the host, my name is jimmy. i have a lot -- needless to say,
12:07 am
i've got a lot to say tonight, you might not like any of what i have to say, but i'm going to say it, so hear me out, please. you're here on an exciting night. james bond himself, daniel craig is here with us. [ cheers and applause ] he's here tonight. he's here to remind us that we need to work out more. [ laughter ] . daniel has been traveling all over the world to promote this movie. from what i understand, at the airport this afternoon, he ate a bon. a cinna-bonn. if you like that, i got all kinds of great stuff for you. the newest -- some are saying best james bond movie ever premiered in theaters today, it's called "skyfall." it's grittier. there is normally a scene in every movie where q walks james around a room full of exploding cuff links and things like that. this bond has a gun and a car and that's about it. it's very different from the original plan. the book that this movie was
12:08 am
based on was very technology heavy and had a slightly different title, too. >> take the bloody shot. ♪ >> welcome to the new mi-6, i'm q. i have some new gadget options for you. total chef double chocolate fountain including ten plastic skewers. >> you must be joking. >> okay then. big foot, the garden yeti sculpture. >> q. >> then maybe you'd be more comfortable with the hand boxing rabbi. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: they changed it. it's not "sky mall." it's "skyfall." our other guest tonight is the
12:09 am
author of the "twilight" books, stephenie meyer. she has an interesting story. she was and is a mom in arizona who wrote a book. she sent it around to publishers, one of them liked it and the next thing you know, this happened. thousands of fans camping out in downtown los angeles outside the theater where the premiere of the new "twilight" movie is happening on monday. let me say this. there is no finer place to camp than downtown los angeles. [ laughter ] going to be there for days. some of them have been there since yesterday. the premiere is on monday. at what point does camping end and homelessness begin? [ laughter ] in new york, they line up for gas, in l.a., we line up for vampires. [ cheers and applause ] 75% of the gas stations in new york are still closed either because of power outages or because they can't get gasoline to the pumps. to help alleviate some of the lines, mayor bloomberg
12:10 am
implemented a gas rationing system. starting today, people with license plates ending with even numbers buy gas on even days of the month. what if your license plate says "playa," like mine does? what would i do then? some people are actually selling gas on craigslist for $20 a gallon. you could get a human baby and a futon on craigslist for $20. if you live in new york, and you're worried about conserving gas, here is a little trick. you know, you can double your gas mileage just by adding a point of coffee mate to the tank. it's true. and it makes your exhaust smell like hazelnut. it's very nice. hopefully they will get that figured out. as if the gas crisis wasn't bad enough, yesterday, facebook went down for two minutes. [ laughter ] two incredibly productive minutes. for two minutes, we all knew what it must be like to be
12:11 am
amish. poor guillermo, i have to say, guillermo was hit maybe the hardest of anyone. he had status update and he was forced to do it the old fashioned way. >> facebook is down! i got to update my status! o-m-g, cannot wait to see "twilight" tonight. freaking out. weekend is here, going to get cray-cray. this cat is so pretty. i want this cat now. like it! ooh! >> jimmy: you know, your acting gets better and better and then worse and then worse and then better again and then worse and then better again. >> up and down. >> jimmy: okay. [ laughter ] fortunately everything at facebook is back up and running. myspace, apparently they've been down for six months and nobody noticed.
12:12 am
[ laughter ] this is silly. you know the song "call me maybe," it was a big hit. ukrainian singer named azza is claiming that carly rae jepsen ripped her off. she says she wrote a song that's very similar and i have to say, i don't know who this woman is, but she makes an extremely come peopling argument. >> cis "call me maybe" a rip-of of this song? ♪ the ukrainian singer who wrote and performed it thinks so. today, she filed a federal lawsuit alleging copyright infringement. at issue, this lyric -- ♪ call me and here is my number ♪ >> i heard it, like, not give me my number. here is my number. >> jimmy: wow. right. here is my number. not there is my number, not -- [ laughter ] not hey, look, it's a number!
12:13 am
here is my number. plain as day. she's going to be a very wealthy ukrainian soon. the u.s. postal service annou e announced yesterday they are expecting this year's holiday season to be their busiest ever and also their slowest ever, so -- [ laughter ] leave them alone and go bother fedex. the postal service, probably the only business in america that complains about being busy, right? still no election results from florida yet. florida is the post office of states. the election has been over for three days, but already, there's a new survey that says hillary clinton is favored to win the iowa caucuses in 2016. [ laughter ] you think they could have at least waited until we peeled the "i voted" stickers off our jackets. survey showed hillary clinton with 58% of the vote. vice president biden with 17%. new york governor andrew cuomo at 6% and massachusetts senator elect elizabeth warren with 3%. a woman who has not yet
12:14 am
expressed any interest in running is well ahead of some other people who aren't running. good study. [ laughter ] we can't let them do this again. no christmas decorations in october, no election talk until -- october 2015, right? that's reasonable. [ cheers and applause ] meanwhile, some big sex news out of washington today. the director of the cia, general david petraeus turned in his resignation today while admitting having an extramarital affair. he said, after being married for over 37 years, i showed extreme little poor judgment by engaging in an extramarital affair. such behavior is unacceptable. this afternoon, the president graciously accepted my resignation. i guess it makes sense, if the head of the cia can't even keep his affair secret, he probably shouldn't be the head of the cia. [ laughter ]
12:15 am
hate to see that happen. maybe he can run for the held of the secret service. [ laughter ] are you familiar with the name pat robertson? pat robertson hosts -- he's an old guy, he hosts "the 700 club." it airs every day on the christian broadcasting network. pat seems to be getting a little loose. yesterday, he had a little segment about porn addiction. he has a young co-host on the show, he tried to get her involved, and watch. >> you are a mother. >> yes. >> and you are a sweet christian girl. lady. >> absolutely. >> all right. do you see anything in porn that attracts you at all? >> no, pat. these questions that you ask me, i'm like, really -- >> i'm trying to get your attitude. we always thought this was a male thing. >> yeah, yeah. >> a boy thing. a guy thing. >> yeah. >> but now, it looks like 30% of women -- >> yeah. >> are involved in pornography. >> yeah.
12:16 am
>> pornography, that's a -- [ laughter ] combination of pornography and let a let rosy. there's a guy in north carolina, he's planning to be the first person to fly across the atlantic ocean using helium balloons. this is jonathan. he's going to attach 365 helium balloons to it. he could become the first man in history to die imitating a pixar movie. [ laughter ] that seems like a dumb thing. what do you think the wright brothers would say about this? this is why we invented the airplane, what the hell are you doing? this is interesting. a new study out of taiwan has found that meth fete means may help fight the flu. now that i think about it, i've never seen one person sneeze on "breaking bad." the researcher exposed human lung cells to small amounts of
12:17 am
meth and infected them with the flu. after 30 hours, the cells showed a significant drop in the virus. so, in other words, starve a cold, speed a fever, is what you should do. the good news is, your flu is gone, the bad news is, so is all of your money and your teeth. the study was released on tuesday, but already the major drug, one major drug company is leaping into action. >> i asked my doctor. >> i asked my doctor. >> i asked the [ bleep ] out of my doctor. >> don't let seasonal flu stop you from living life to the fullest. ask your drug dealer if meth is right for you. meth is not for everyone. side effects include dry mouth, decreased appetite, bad breath, loss of teeth and hair, paranoia, psychosis, hepatitis, homelessness, larceny, murder, prostitution, cannibalism and a slow spiral into insanity and death. if you find yourself digging up graves to find stuff to sell or
12:18 am
beating your best friend with a tire iron, stop using meth and consult your doctor. >> my flu symptoms are gone and now i can fly! >> meth. the nighttime couching, sniffling sneezing, aching, fever, never, ever, ever go to sleep medicine. >> help me. >> available behind walgreens. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: that's a gentleman that works here, his name is brad. one of our employees doing a little acting there. see, we could have used that kind of enthusiasm from you, guillermo. >> next time. >> jimmy: okay. and, one more thing. another week has come to a close, which means it's time for our weekly tribute to the fcc, where we bleep and blur things whether they need it or not. it is "this week in unnecessary censorship." >> president obama asked his supporters to vote for revenge. i ask the american people instead to vote for love of [ bleep ]. >> whether it was the elderly
12:19 am
woman at the airport that grabbed my [ bleep ], said, miss cla claire, i'm going to [ bleep ] hard for you. >> to get home to hug my wife, my kids and play with my [ bleep ]. >> in the next movie, you are kind of a [ bleep ] vampire. hard to make that adjustment every day? >> how crooked has romney's [ bleep ] been and what affect has that had on the voters? >> a late night host is giving up his [ bleep ]. >> yeah, you could be its new owner. >> i am here at the brazilian [ bleep ] bar. >> folks have been dancing, waving flags, [ bleep ] each other. >> going to be [ bleep ] for afternoon snack and it's definitely going to be [ bleep ] come 7:00 p.m. >> the american people reminded us that while our [ bleep ] has been hard, while our [ bleep ] has been long, we have [ bleep ] ourselves up. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: we have a good show

12:27 am
and when you are dressed up so nicely, too, you seem like james bond. >> last time i came here, i wore jeans and a t-shirt. time before that, you were wearing a tux. >> jimmy: thank you. nice of you to do that. and -- it must be so great to be james bond. i mean -- >> yeah. >> jimmy: i feel like. >> yeah, it is. it is. >> jimmy: i feel like i will never have the chance to experience that, you know. >> why don't you come and visit me next time we do one? >> jimmy: you will let me stand in the spot and hold the gun? >> i will, yeah. >> jimmy: i will absolutely do that. you signed up for two more of these, right? >> yeah. >> jimmy: roger moore, who, for, i think, there's -- i think there's a phenomenon that happens, whichever james bond was the james bond when you were, like, a teenage boy, that's the james bond you think is the real one. for me it was roger moore. he says you're the best james bond of all. he said you're better than him. [ cheers and applause ] better than sean connery. >> ah -- i like roger moore, what can i say? >> jimmy: you have to start saying you think roger moore is
12:28 am
the best. >> i have been. in interviews, that's been happening. i heard he said that and ever since, he's my number one. >> jimmy: you started shooting "s "skyfall" a year ago this week. did it go by quickly? >> we started prepping the movie about two years ago, so, it's been a long road. so it doesn't -- it has flown by. while you are doing it, it's a bit of a grind but now we're here, it's out and people are seeing it. i don't, you know -- >> jimmy: you recruited the director of the movie, sam mendes. >> i did. >> jimmy: how does that happen? >> it's a show business story. >> jimmy: okay. >> do you have time? >> jimmy: this is showbiz. >> i was at hugh jackman's birthday party. >> jimmy: great, excellent. >> it's true. and j-- >> jimmy: weolverine and james bond hanging out together. >> we did a show on broadway, it was called "wolverine and james bond." it was late in the evening, sam
12:29 am
turned up and we started talking about the next movie and i was picking his brain because he's a director, i wanted to see what he thought and i had a flash of inspiration. i said, why don't you do it? and then woke up the following movie sober and realized it probably wasn't my job to offer that. and phoned up the producers rather sheepishly, said, i've asked sam to be the next director. they were fine about it. ing they were good with that? >> i would have blamed the booze if i didn't work out. >> jimmy: i believe quentin tarren tee know made some overchurps in the press saying he wanted to drek the movie. >> is that what you call it? >> jimmy: yeah, i think so. >> that's him telling me. >> jimmy: is this where he told you he wanted to drek the movie? >> do i look slightly worried? >> jimmy: you look like you want to get into the men's room and he won't let you. what was going on here? >> um -- [ laughter ] yeah, just that.
12:30 am
literally just that. >> jimmy: don't you think quentin tarren tee know would be a great choice to drirect a bon movie? >> yes. we're on live television. yes. of course he'd be a great choice. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: but really, some '70s funk music, maybe you'd have an afro. >> that could work. >> jimmy: the whole deal. you recruited javier bardem to be in the movie. >> i was less drunk that time. >> jimmy: you should get a producer's credit. you should get something -- i mean, because javier, what a score that is. >> sam's idea. i thought it was brilliant. and, again, it was another show business party. i honestly don't go -- >> jimmy: you went to two. >> i went to two and met sam and javier and i said, you know, come and do it. the thing is, he always wanted to be a bond villain, so it was -- >> jimmy: why don't these people tell people? seems like they should mention
12:31 am
it. he's crazy. got the blond hair in the movie and -- >> he's pretty special. >> jimmy: he's kind of terrifying in a way. very, very, very creepy. you -- i love seeing the as on the martin, i hope i'm not giving anything key away. that was kind of a great moment, you open the grarage and you ge in the old car. did you imagine when you were a boy, one day you'd be driving james bond's as tin martin? >> no, i mean, we used -- we used to do crazy stuff when we were kids. we used to go rallying in a car, not particularly good car, but in the woods, with fleriends an we did this thing where we would do it for awhile. at night, we switch the lights off and do it. >> jimmy: drive fast with the lights off? >> i don't know why i'm still here.
