from hollywood, dwayne johnson, guillermo del toro, music from g-eazy. here's jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: hi, everyone. thank you for watching. thanks for joining us on yet another

states. the state of alabama had a special election to decide whether or not an alleged sexual predator of young girls would be their senator. remember when we used to find out senators were dirt bags after we elected them? i don't know the results yet. the polls just closed. i do know that roy moore, he shouldn't even be in -- i'm not talking about the senate race. i mean the human race. today he rode a horse named sassy to his polling place. young girls love ponies, i guess. there's been plenty of opposition to roy moore even within his own party. the other republican senator from alabama spoke out against him and said he did not vote for him. president trump's daughter e-ivankaa spoke out against him. she said there's a special place in hell for people who prey on children.

before that, there's a special place for him in the senate. by me. so there are rumblings, if he wins, republican leaders might not even put roy moore on any committees. which would be -- roy moore could become the first person to be banned from the senate budget committee and the mall. both of those things. they held a rally last night -- [ applause ] the moore campaign had a rally. his wife kayla moore, who we've not seen much of, made it clear that contrary to what you see on the fake news, she and her husband are not bigots. in fact quite the contrary. >> fake news would tell that you we don't care for jews. i tell you all this because i've seen it all so i want to set the record straight while they're here. [ cheers and applause ] one of our attorneys is a jew.

>> jimmy: well, i know i have to keep saying this but those aren't actors. this really happened. those are people. one of their attorneys is a jew. it's like usually when she says that word, she whispers it. now she has a mike in her hand and it comes blasting out. theon time you should be hitting the word jew that hard is when it is followed by manji. right? and take a look at this. [ cheers and applause ] maybe the most remarkable part of this very remarkable speech is that she has notes. she's got, that jew line is something she wrote down. can you imagine what she might have said if she were winging it? i'm going to take the word dirt why you out before jew. i think that would go down a little bit smoother. and by the way -- she didn't stop there. now that she had the jews in her pocket, mrs. moore took time

highlight her husband's support of the african-american community. >> when he first took office as chief justice many years ago, he brought with him three people, two were black. and one of them is here tonight. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: that clock is about to get set way back. then roy himself got up there to say a few words about his wife and somehow managed to make the night even more awkward. >> i appreciate her so much. she's been a good mother. she has closer contact with the kids than i do. >> jimmy: well, i don't know. according to the security guards at the mall, you and the kids were pretty close. then, and i know it is almost impossible to believe there's more but there is. then one of roy's old buddies who served with him in vietnam told the story about a night one of their fellow soldiers took them to a brothel. i'm

run this anecdote by anyone before sharing it. >> he took us to this place which turned out to be a brothel. we walked inside. i can tell you what i saw but i don't want to. it was clear to us what kind of place it was. and roy turned to me, in less time than it took for someone to come up to us. and there were certainly pretty girls, and they were girls. they were young. some were probably very young. i don't know. i don't remember. i wasn't there long enough. roy said to me, we shouldn't be here. i'm leaving. or words to that effect. in fact, i think those were his exact words. >> so he is a hero, it turns out. [ applause ] hey, bill, gotfully good stories about roy you can share? got one about some child prostitutes he didn't have sex with. that's

that's like defending o.j. by saying i was in a room with him once and he didn't kill anyone what a group this is. and there is the capper. a spokesman for the roy campaign was on cnn with jake tapper. you know when they call someone a mouth breather? this man has not made use of his nostrils since probably 1984. >> judge moore has also said that he doesn't think a muslim member of congress should be allowed to be in congress. why? under what -- >> because you have to swear on the bible. when you are before -- i had to do it. i'm an elected official. three terms. i had to swear on a bible. you have to swear on a bible to be an elected official in the united states of america. he alleges that a muslim cannot do that ethically, swearing on the bible. >> you don't have to actually swear on a christian bible. you can swear on anything really. i don't know if you knew. that you can swear on a jewish bible. >> oh, no,

i've double it three times. >> i'm sure you have. but the law is not that you have to swear on a christian bible. that's not the law. you don't know that? all right. >> i don't know -- i know that donald trump did it when we made him president. >> because he's christian and he picked it. with the moore campaign. thank you so much for being here. thank you. >> jimmy: very impressive. merry christmas. by the way, jake tapper happens to be jewish. so that's the spokesman for the moore campaign. they called themselves morons. did you know that? we have a great show for you tonight. we have music from g-eazy and halsey are here with us tonight. a director of a really great new movie called the shape of water, guillermo del toro is here tonight. [ cheers and applause ] and dwayne johnson is

eight nights and hannukkah was born. sorry about that. i don't have a jew lawyer to teach me this stuff. do you know about the elf on the shelf? oval a shelf is tearing our family apart. we forget to move it almost every night. we have to sneak in in the morning and try -- we convinced our daughter that the elf is spying on her, reporting back to santa. so she has this little rat staring at her all night. it is a destructive force in the home. but fortunately there is a new little sentry for all religions. >> this holiday season, say goodbye to elf on a shelf. start an exciting new christmas tradition with lanister on the banister. he will see to it that your children behave. >> winter is coming. >> no one can escape the king

>> jimmy: is that an honor? because they're making a lot of pinatas of donald trump. it doesn't seal like they're honoring him. >> it depends what they're full of. >> jimmy: i was watching, i saw the movie last night. after watching it, i thought this is not just a good movie. it is a classic. and i know the audience hasn't seen a movie before. but explain what the plot is. the plot on paper sounds ridiculous. >> it is. insanely simple and insane. it's for troubling times. an adult fairytale. there is a night shift in a government facility. this mute lady discovers there's a creature they keep there. every night she has a little lunch next to the creature and they form a

and it is a beautiful moving love story. >> jimmy: and it is, your two main characters don't speak which is a big challenge. >> it is. >> jimmy: the creature itself is kind of grotesque but also, there is a beauty to it. did you create the creature? >> it took three years. we knew we were creating an elemental river god so it needed to be beautiful. it took two years to design, one year to execute. and i will say it is perhaps one of the most beautiful creatures i ever committed to film. >> jimmy: i agree with you. when did you think of this idea for this movie? was it a recent thing? >> no. it started when i was 6. every sunday we would go to church and then watch movies. at 6, i have watching creature from the black lagoon on tv. >> jimmy: there is a similarity. >> yes. it swims underneath. another great story. i was 6. i thought, i'll sure it will end

the creature will come out well. this is a home invasion movie. they kill the creature at the end of the movie. >> jimmy: yeah, right. it's a creature. >> i said i'm going to correct it. it took 46 years. >> jimmy: i would sewell you're happy with the way it came out. how do you compare it? >> it's a movie that i like the most, that i've ever made. i think it is the best movie. it was a movie that was really difficult to make and we opened in the festival, first time they showed it. we won the golden lion. i genuinely cried like miss universe. except different measurements. >> jimmy: 80 -- is there a better feeling professionally than making a movie and showing to it a group of feeling and then seeing that they enjoy it? >> yes. it's completely -- you start feeling from minute one. the movie starts and

the audience is with it or without. rarely does it change. >> jimmy: they're either with you or not. >> and you know it the first shot. you basically know the entire life of the movie. the first time you show it. >> jimmy: and you really can't get that sense from testing it. >> you can but a test audience is not in any context. they didn't see a poster. they don't know what it is about. so it can be weird. the first time you really know is with an audience. >> jimmy: michael shannon is the bad guy in the movie and he is fantastic. all the actors. i don't want to single him out. sally hawkins is wonderful. i don't think i'm ruining this. i think this is out there. you have a love scene between a human woman and a -- were you worried when you shot that that it would be completely ridiculous? because -- >> always. every

but you know, failure and success live next door to each other and they have no numbers at the door. you just knock. the thing that is the most sublime is the thing that can be the most ridiculous. always. so you risk it. >> so you had no idea whether it was work or not? >> i've been doing this for 25 years. it is a little like when humor. the joke or the tragedy exists side to side. and you bring your craft and your experience and you think, what i am a going to do to ensure that it is gorgeous, beautiful, poetic, magical, and then sometimes you're right, sometimes you're not. >> jimmy: the crew, were they on board with it? or were they looking at it as a sea monster and a river monster? >> no. we spent more time shoot go three shots of that and we shot it -- there's no water in those scenes. it is a technique called dry for wet. you if i will the stage with
