highly overrated show tonight with meryl streep. meryl streep is here tonight because -- [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: -- the stars 2k3w58g9ser gathered in los angeles for 9 golden globes. these are foreigners who came into hollywood from their god for saken countries to judge us, and for some reason we allow it. we even celebrate it. there are always surprises with the golden globes. this was one for her role in the marvelous mrs. maisel, rachel brosnahan won for best actress. [ cheers and applause ] i was going to make a joke about i never heard of her or the show, but it sounds like she's very popular. doesn't brosnahan sound like pierce brosnan married like someone named callahan and they -- and on hand to receive the cecil b. demille award was none other than oprah winfrey, who deli

a speech so powerful that all day long people have been asking if oprah will run for president, which at this point wouldn't president be a demotion for oprah? i feel like it would. now that we have donald trump, everything seems possible. and while you don't want talk like this to get out of hand, the eevgs network last night was fortunate enough to have celebrity stylist jason bolden on hand to put oprah's remarks into historical context. >> it will be because of a lot of magnificent women, many of whom are right here in this room tonight. >> wow, that was almost like oprah's i have a dream speech. >> can i tell you? >> how powerful was that? >> she was giving you dr. martin luther king vibes all day. >> i don't think you should be able to draw comparisons to dr. martin luther king if you're wearing no socks, right? i mean he even asked the white house -- the reporters asked the white house today for their response to a

candidacy. team trump said, we welcome the challenge whether it be oprah winfrey or anybody else. preferably anybody else. i mean trump's approval rating right now, i don't think he could beat maury povich for president, never mind oprah. but the president was supposed to host his own awards show tonight, the fake news awards that he announced would be presented tonight at 5:00 o'clock. they've been postponed until next wednesday, which is -- you know, postponing his own awards show is an odd and out of character move for a man who consistently delivers his promises in a very timely fashion. but donald trump didn't. i guess it's because he had to be in atlanta tonight for the college football national championship game. the georgia bulldogs are playing the alabama crimson tide. the game is on -- it's about to start right here. trump was rooting for alabama, for the crimson tide, because that's what he calls his face. did you know that? he went to the game despite the fact that b

there was a fire in his apartment building. but the smoke was seen pouring from the roof of trump tower, which traditionally is understood as a signal that eric trump has finally lost his virginity. but in this case, it was an electrical fire. so either that or he's been lying so much, his pants finally caught on fire. trump spent the weekend punching back at a new tell-all book that raises questions about his mental fitness. many of the most damaging moments came from former trump adviser steve bannon, who spoke to author michael wolff. so trump tweeted, michael wolff is a total loser who made up stories in order to sell this really boring and untruthful book. he used sloppy steve bannon, who cried when he got fired and begged for his job. now sloppy steve has been dumped like a dog by almost everyone. too bad. w what does dumped like a dog even mean? they dropped him off at a shelter?

bannon cried when they fired him. i hope that one's true. it isn't, but i hope it is. trump is really mad about this, to the point where he tweeted this weekend to declare himself a genius. i don't know if you saw this, but he wrote throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being like really smart. then he goes on about hillary. he said, i went from very successful businessman to top tv star to president of the united states on my first try. i think that would qualify as not smart but genius and a very stable genius at that. one thing about geniuses, they always brag about being -- especially the very stable geniuses. the one thing that's stable about donald trump is his fried chicken intake. nothing else is stable. but maybe he is a genius. i mean he did figure out a way to get a six-figure job where all he has to do is tweet, watch tv, play golf, and eat big macs in bed all day. bu

defend his brain. this time in person at camp david this weekend, speaking to reporters with trusty assistant mike pence at his side. >> this morning you were tweeting about your mental state. why did you feel the need to tweet about that? >> only because i went to the best colleges -- or college. i had a situation where i was a very excellent student, came out, made billions and billions of dollars, became one of the top business people. went to television and for ten years was a tremendous success as you probably have heard. ran for president one time and won. and then i hear this guy that does not know me, doesn't know me at all. by the way, did not interview me for three -- he said he interviewed me for three hours in the white house. it didn't exist, okay? it's in his imagination. >> there's a lot to read into there. so in addition to his mental stability, trump's schedule is now being questioned. his daily schedule. he's been reportedly rolling into the oval office at around

4:15 p.m. it's reassuring the president of the united states has the same hours as a venice beach skateboard shop. so this is his daily routine. it goes executive time. that's what they call his time in the morning watching tv and tweeting. then office time. then potty time. then tantrum time. golf time. and finally bedtime. so trump had a busy schedule today. besides the football game he went to, he's on the road in nashville. he spoke at the american farm bureau convention where he was good enough too provide us with tonight's grain alcohol edition of drunk donald trump. ♪ >> thank you. oh, does he love the farmers? does he love those farmers, right, pat? stand up, pat. do you love the farmers, pat? yes.

nobody is going to respect your time. you just dealt a big asshole for yourself. >> she should be clear. she said you dug a big ass hole for yourself. the grand canyon is a big ass hole. if it was anything else, i couldn't say it. you wouldn't hear anything right know. ari sent three women home tonight including a graphic designer named jenny. based on how that good-bye went, i'm not entirely sure jenny understands the idea behind the show. >> can you give me a second? one sec. hey, i'm sorry. come here. give me a hug at least. >> can we talk about it at least? >> yeah, i just -- it's hard to open up. you know what i mean? i tried to like --

i'm sad about you. i'm sad. >> i know. i know you made friends. >> this is not a sorority rush. it's the bachelor. you're not there to make friends. you're there to get engaged to someone you won't see in six to eight months. people have no respect anymore. we've got to make this country great again, you know? by the way, we have to take a break. when we come back, at the beginning of this year, marijuana became legal in california for recreational use.

"the new york times" got a tip, and neil sheehan, this great reporter, picked it up and they published the pentagon papers. but nixon shut them down. so it came to the post. they found the source, and the choice came whether they were going to defy the court and an injunction and publish. and so it came down to her. she was one of the only women who was in business at that time, and she ran the paper only because she inherited it. >> jimmy: it's

us people your whole life since you were a kid, right? >> in los angeles, you run into people. i remember there was one time i was at the grocery store and my dad started talking to this couple he knew. my dad liked to embarrass me and say, jason plays guitar. this guy went, i play guitar and i'll give you some guitar lessons. i went all right, sure. my dad went, that's paul stanley from kiss. but i didn't recognize him because he didn't have the star. actually i'm realizing in this moment that i think i believed he had like the joker in batman, like flesh-colored makeup over the black and white star makeup. he just put that on to go out into the real world. >> jimmy: that would be truly ridiculous, but i think it's within the realm of possibility. >> it was very exciting. >> jimmy: did you ever give him the guitar lesson? >> i did. i taught him everything he knows. >> jimmy: wow, that's really remarkable. congratulations. i know you're engaged. >> thank you. [ cheers and applause ] >> thank you. >> jimmy: your wife, melanie lynskey, what's the show she

on hbo? >> togetherness. >> jimmy: she was very good on that. >> she was. >> jimmy: how long have you had togetherness? >> i would say five, six -- five-ish years. >> jimmy: sew you've been together for quite some time? >> we've been together for quite some time. >> jimmy: sew yo you know all t bad things about each other? >> she certainly knows all the bad things about me? >> jimmy: what are the bad things about you? let's go through them. >> one thing i realize, one of the early things she told me was i was a good eater. i went, oh, good. i generally keep my mouth closed. >> jimmy: oh, i see. courteous eater. >> oh, yeah, i eat horrible things for my body, but i keep my mouth closed while i eat them. but it turns out she was telling me that because she has this thing called misaphonia. you know the sound --

sound. that sound is gross. misaphonia people hear that 20 times louder than you do and it drives them insane. >> jimmy: you really think they are hearing it louder than we do, or they just can't tolerate even the smallest annoyance? >> i don't know. but it will turn a person who has misaphonia off, like just blank stare and inner rage if they do that. >> jimmy: so your wife does this? >> well, she -- yeah. for the most part, i didn't see it, and i went around thinking i was a good eater. there was one time where i was eating cereal, and i guess i'm not a good cereal eater. >> jimmy: no one is really. >> she was like this. they she kept on going, i'm going to get a drink of water. what's going on? >> jimmy: what do you do if you go to dinner or god forbid you order soup? >> soup and ramen and all that is just right out. >> jimmy: nothing liquid, huh? >> no, i'm fine, but i'll see her. we'll be eating and all of

sudden she'll just go. i'll go, what happened? she's like, there's a bad eater. she can hear it across the restaurant. it's like a superpower. >> jimmy: in a way it's like a worthless superpower. really it's doing nothing but driving her crazy. >> yeah. >> jimmy: and there's nothing she can do about it. >> there's nothing she can do about it. gum chewing is really tough for people with misaphonia. we keep our mouths closed and we don't -- >> jimmy: and that kiss the bride moment, you have to really kind of just make sure there's. >> an old '50s kiss. >> jimmy: isn't it true you guys watch the bachelor? do you get nuts when -- my wife does and she's got a little bit of this where hearing them kissing makes her vomit. the kissing makes her mentally ill, like she goes wild when they kiss. >> there's a lot of gross

stuff to not do certain things that you do in real life just because it looks and sounds gross. >> jimmy: right. >> and on the bachelor they're all miked up, so, yeah, she doesn't like that stuff. >> jimmy: she must really love the show to commit to it through all of that. >> she really does. she got me into it. >> jimmy: tell us about kevin probably saves the world. you've got a show that has parentheses in the title. >> it does. >> jimmy: it's confusing because it's not your typical kind of show. explain it for us. >> well i'm not going to do that. i'm very bad at explaining it. i've noticed that i'm not a good pitcher in that way. i can't -- it takes me a really long time, and i don't solve anything. i would just say watch it, or if you like a show, a particular show, it's like that show. >> jimmy: whatever your favorite show is, it's just like it. >> yeah, exactly. >> jimmy: but new. >> but new and different. >> jimmy: it's very good to see you. thank you for coming. >> oh, yeah. >> jimmy: i hope you don't drive your wife crazy. >> i don't. i wait until she g
