[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: hi, everyone, thank you. very kind of you. i'm jimmy, i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. thank you for coming out and leaving your homes unprotected to be here tonight. i want you to know, i love you more than dr. oz and ellen love their audiences, combined. we have blood on our hands tonight. fresh blood, as the first dancer of a new season of "dancing with the stars" has been axed. you know, some of the dancers last night were good but the bad ones were -- i've seen better dancing at the republican national convention, let's put it that way. nancy grace showed us just how

ironic a last name can be. carson kressley danced like one of those, you know, the inflatable guys outside the cell phone store? and he, by the way, was one of the best dancers. there aren't any huge stars on the show this year but it is a big season for relatives of huge stars. do you watch the kardashians? we got rob. you are a fan of cher? we've got chaz. you know, some people are complaining about chaz being on the show, they are upset because of the sex change operation that he's considered to be a man, which -- shouldn't they be more upset that he's considered to be a star? because -- i don't know what chaz bono does. the whole kardashian clan came out to support their brother rob last night. so many kardashians in the audience, i thought i was watching the nba finals, but -- [ laughter ] i wasn't, unfortunately, i was -- [ applause ]

i was watching dancing. and in fact the first man eliminated tonight was ron artest of the l.a. lakers. ron danced like he never danced before. literally danced like he never danced before. judge len goodman described ron's cha-cha as all sizzle, no sausage. and -- i'm glad he saved that for ron instead of chaz, to be honest with you, but -- [ laughter ] as you may know, ron artest legally changed his name last week to metta world peace. first name is metta and world peace is his last. last night they called him ron, tonight, they called him metta. i don't know why. we'll ask him about it later. before he arrives, to honor ron or metta, whatever his name is, time now to take a fond look back at all the great moments he provided us during his all-too-short stint on "dancing with the stars." ♪ [ laughter ] >> jimmy: he will be missed. [ applause ]

ron and -- metta and peta will be here in a moment. or is et metta and petta? i don't know. i tell you what, i -- you know, the whole thing doesn't seem entirely fair to me. you know, you eliminate someone after one night -- one dance. it's too sudden. it's like -- it's like, well, let's find a couple of people from our studio audience here and -- let's see, who do we have? okay, yeah, you in the green sweater right there. uh-huh. and you in the blue shirt. wright right there, too, yeah. come on up here. yeah, come on up. give them a hand. [ applause ] come up to this microphone right here. that's right. don't be shy. how are you? thank you for coming up. what is your name? where are you from? >> john from new jersey. >> jimmy: and you? >> stephanie from virginia. >> jimmy: okay. if you could, hold hands.

john and stephanie. you were both great audience members. john, you clapped, you laughed. you did everything we expected you to do. stephanie, you were enthusiastic, you had a lot of energy. i know you both waited outside for, like, an hour and waited in here for another hour but unfortunately, one of you has to go home. [ laughter ] john, stephanie, america has not voted but it doesn't matter because -- john from new jersey -- you are -- going home. guillermo, please show john to the door and -- [ applause ] thank you, john. it's okay. and -- stephanie, that means you are safe tonight, so you can two back to your seat. thank you. [ applause ] i have to say, that's -- for me

it's the hardest part of the job. it really is. [ laughter ] john's gone, right? >> he went to the bar. >> jimmy: you sent him to the bar? okay, good. the big show on tv last night was the much anticipated return of "two and a half men." did you watch "two and a half men" last night? [ applause ] the ratings were enormous. 28 million people watched a funeral for charlie sheen's character charlie harper and then he was replaced by ashton kutcher who plays a sad billionaire. that's his character. which, i think that's just ma america needs right now. someone who has so much money it makes him sad. [ laughter ] and ashton wasn't the only new addition. they replaced -- you know the kid? he got big so they replaced the kid with snooki. [ laughter ] it was an all charlie sheen night on television last night. they had the roast of charlie on comedy central after the "two and a half men" -- charlie said he was having a group of his

friends over to his house to watch both the shows last night. but when you pay people to come over and have sex with you, are you allowed to call them friends? [ laughter ] two new books about sarah palin came out today. i tell you what, all of a sudden, i'm feeling okay about borders going out of business. i really am. but it is -- [ applause ] strange that on the same day, there were two books released about a woman who doesn't read books. one of them is by the father of her daughter bristol's baby, levi johnston. it's called "deer in the headlights: my life in sarah palin's crosshairs." it is. in it, levi claims bristol got pregnant on purpose. bristol denies that, she's sticking with the story she's had all along that the walrus bladder broke and that's how they do it in alaska. did you know that? [ applause ] and the other book is called "rogue: searching for the real sarah palin."

it's written by a guy named joe mcginnis. this book claims, among many things, sarah palin snorted cocaine off an overturned oil drum and had sex with former nba all-star glen rice. mcginnis was on piers morgan last night and really made some outrageous claims. >> in the book you describe sarah palin, occasional little as a clown, a rabid wolf, a lap dancer, a bad mother, a drug abuser, a sex cheat, a bulimic and a religion nut case. >> i don't think i used the word bulimic. [ applause ] >> jimmy: i said puky. rabid. rabid? i'm going to have to ask simon cowell if that's what they say, rabid. today was an historic day for the united states military. last night at midnight, the controversial don't ask, don't tell, policy was officially retired, which marks the beginning of a new age of tolerance, acceptance and awkward showering for everyone

involved in the military. they wanted to get it done in time for the season premiere of "glee" and -- [ laughter ] i'm glad they did. i think it's about time. it was a sill little rule in the first place. and i think it will have an impact on our enemies, too, because, think about it. be warned, evil doers. first, we will defeat you, then we redecorate your entire country. [ applause ] because -- there was a memo, the army had a memo that said the forces have, quote, discussed, trained and prepared for this day, so, they're ready and in fact, the marines went so far as to make a specific training video for this. >> recruit, where are you from? >> sir, texas, sir. >> texas? only thing to come out of texas is -- >> sir, yes, sir. >> i guess you must be queer. >> sir, yes, sir. >> which is completely fine. we welcome recruits of all sexual orientations. >> sir, yes, sir. >> gay, straight, whatever floats your boat.

different strokes for different folks. you got that, recruit? >> sir, yes, sir. >> all right. now give me some sugar. you like that? >> sir, yes, sir. >> so did i! >> jimmy: all right. [ applause ] well, that's -- before a sniper hits me this the brain. football season is in full swing. last night on monday night football, the giants beat the rams. giants quarterback eli manning gave a post-game interview, during which he talked about their new wide receiver, brandon stokley and how he helped them win the game and in doing so, provided us with our "unintentional joke of the day." >> good thing we got brandon to come and play some and, you know, he had a small package, but his package got a lot bigger in the middle of the game. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: well, that sometimes happens. [ applause ] hey, what -- guillermo, what

did -- did we let john back in or is he really stuck outside? >> i think he's outside. >> jimmy: all right. well, that's nice. is he out there? oh, there he is -- [ laughter ] like we put him in time-out. well, if you've learned your lesson, you can come back in, all right, john? okay, there we go. you know what? simon cowell probably would have eliminated him when he got out here. as those of you with an internet connection probably know, candid photos of a woman that looked like scarlett johansson found their way online last week. and she hasn't confirmed that the photos are of her but the fbi is investigating the case, so -- i bet there's quite a fight about who got to handle that one, huh? i'll take the naked scarlett johansson case. you go sit in the van. [ laughter ] there's a company over in taiwan that any time anything weird happens with a celebrity, they make an animated video of it.

they use this whatever, the computer. they did it with tiger woods and charlie sheen and sure enough, they've done it again. >> jimmy: not only is -- [ applause ] that a ridiculous image, the guy at the end, can we see the guy at the end again? happens to look exactly like our tv researcher here at the show. a guy named steve abrams. so, this really caught our --

and can you see, oh, wait, he's got the same motion and everything. congratulations, steve, on being immortalized. [ applause ] this is pretty good. eight members of an amish sect in kentucky were ordered by local government there to put orange safety reflectors on their horse-drawn buggies so other people can see them at night. but they refused to do it because their religion forbids them for wearing bright colors. so the police gave them a fine which they refused to pay and they were all arrested and sent to jail. and you know what that means. that's right. amish mug shots. they really -- if you get a chance to look at this up close and examine it at home -- it looks like a lineup of plaintiffs in a class action suit against supercuts. the hair cuts are -- [ laughter ] inexplicable.

if i was the police when i look at the hair, i go, you've been punished enough. go back to the field. here's something that would terrify the amish, though, to be fair, it scares me, too. nasa is saying that a dead weather satellite, that's been orbiting the earth for 20 years is going to crash this week. and they don't know where. the satellite's being monitored by nasa and produced by jerry bruckheimer. it weighs six tons and pieces of it are expected to reach the surface of the earth. nasa says the odds of the satellite hitting a human being are 1 in 3,200. but you know what, americans are always defying the odds and you cannot underestimate us. whenever there is a topic of international importance like this, i like to find out what real people are thinking. so, i sent my cousin sal out on hollywood boulevard today to find out what people are thinking about the satellite that's about to kill us all. >> so, the big story is this satellite out in space, weighs

like six tons and it's supposed to come crashing down to earth in the next two days or something -- you heard about that? are you nervous at all? >> a little. and i heard that it was going to be in l.a. >> actually -- >> always a probably. we don't have the best luck. these things can -- [ screaming ] >> you are all right? yeah, something like that. they don't really know, it's supposed to drop hundreds of miles an hour -- >> geez! i guess you just got -- >> they're not protecting us. >> oh! oh, man! >> are you kidding me? >> are you kidding me? >> i hope we do see it when it comes, because i hate surprises. and meteors, i don't like meteors. one thing i -- >> all right, all right. those i don't like. >> you don't like snakes? >> no. >> come here. this is yours. >> no, no, no. >> there you go. >> please! >> back to you, jimmy.

>> jimmy: thank you, cousin sal. hey, we have a good show for you tonight. the first castoff from "dancing with the stars," ron artest is here. we have music tonight from gavin degraw. and it better be good, because simon cowell is here, too. be right back. my sister's new boyfriend told her that he thinks sundays are just for watching football. believe that? [ thinking ] remain calm. answering incorrectly has... but i just -- [ thinking ] ...consequences. but you're smart, right? you ordered off mcdonald's dollar menu at breakfast. got the premium roast coffee, the savory sausage burrito. everything's so good and just a buck each. you made it happen, so... you got this. he's a jerk.

[ beatboxing ] before i started taking abilify, i was taking an antidepressant alone. most days i could put on a brave face and muddle through. but other days i still struggled with my depression. i was managing, but it always had a way of creeping up on me. i felt stuck. i just couldn't shake my depression. so i talked to my doctor. he said adding abilify to my antidepressant could help with my depression, and that some people had symptom improvement

as early as 1 to 2 weeks. he also told me about a free trial offer from abilify! now i feel more in control of my depression. [ male announcer ] abilify is not for everyone. call your doctor if your depression worsens or if you have unusual changes in behavior, or thoughts of suicide. antidepressants can increase these in children, teens and young adults. elderly dementia patients taking abilify have an increased risk of death or stroke. call your doctor if you have high fever, stiff muscles and confusion to address a possible life-threatening condition. or if you have uncontrollable muscle movements, as these could become permanent. high blood sugar has been reported with abilify and medicines like it. in some cases, extreme high blood sugar can lead to coma or death. other risks include decreases in white blood cells, which can be serious, dizziness upon standing, seizures, trouble swallowing, and impaired judgment or motor skills. depression used to define me, then my doctor added abilify to my antidepressant. now, i feel better. [ male announcer ] if you're still struggling with depression talk to your doctor to see if the option of adding abilify is right for you.

and be sure to ask about the free trial offer.

>> jimmy: well, hello there. tonight on the program, the first celebrity dancer to get the bedazzled boot in this new season of "dancing with the stars." from the l.a. lakers, ron artest, aka metta world peace is here with his partner.

and then music from this new album, it's called "sweeter," gavin degraw from the bud light stage tonight. tomorrow night, fresh off her big win at the emmys, from "modern family," julie bowen will join us. with e lee elisha cuthbert and music from pitbull, too. if you missed hearing words like pathetic, horrible, horrendous and ghastly on tv, it is time to rejoice, because the most honest man in television is back, with his own show. it is called "the x factor." it premieres on fox tomorrow and thursday night at 8:00 p.m. please say hello to simon cowell. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: it's very good to see you. >> hello. >> jimmy: though, i have to admit, when you walk out, because i haven't seen you in a long time and i've seen you on tv since then, i feel like

you're going to insult me. i don't know why. >> you look different. >> jimmy: i do? >> it's in your face. >> jimmy: well, i've lost some weight, maybe that's what it is. >> it's more than that. >> jimmy: you think i've had some work done? >> yeah, a little bit. >> jimmy: really? do you really think that? >> 100%. >> jimmy: you really do? i would never have any work done. i don't even do any work. >> why are you smiling? >> jimmy: do i feel like i'm sweating? >> it's like i'm talking to someone new. >> jimmy: really? someone more handsome or less? >> yeah, more, yeah. but artificially handsome. [ laughter ] am i right? >> jimmy: you think they're going to tell you you're right? >> they're nodding. >> jimmy: i haven't had anything done, but thank you, i appreciate the backhanded compliment. >> yeah. >> jimmy: i'm glad you're back on television. i miss having you on television. i thought "american idol" was boring without you. i really did. i did. i liked -- >> i didn't watch it. [ laughter ]

>> jimmy: i keep hearing you say you didn't watch it but i don't believe that. >> i watched maybe 30 minutes when i was in a hotel when i was over here a few months ago and i'm watching the live show and for a second i'm back in the studio and this terrible person sang and i'm like, right, i can't wait to hear what they're going to say. you're beautiful, i love you, et cetera, it's like -- what are they listening to? >> jimmy: they liked every single person that sang on the show. >> they loved them. >> jimmy: what i'm concerned about with your new show is, everyone says, oh, it's the same as "american idol," and i'm sure it isn't, because i don't think you would do that. but i feel like we're out of singers. between "american idol" and "america's got talent" and "the voice" and all the shows now, there can't be anyone good left. >> they were all waiting up for me. >> jimmy: they were? >> yeah, 100%. >> jimmy: did you get rejected "american idol" contestants coming through, trying to sneak on your show? >> one or two. and i love saying no, you're not good enough. >> jimmy: oh, really? >> just -- i was going to say they're terrible.

>> jimmy: right, because you don't want that. >> what we found was, there's a massive age range on this show. >> jimmy: there is? >> yeah, you can be 12, you can be 80, your age, you could enter. >> jimmy: really? that old, huh? >> that old. and we have groups. but -- maybe because we put this big sum of money up, we attracted very, very different kind of contestant. and i think they're really good. >> jimmy: do you have to be an amateur? could a singer that had success in the ' 80s go, i'm going to get back in the game here. corey hart shows up, i got some sunglasses at night that i haven't worn in a long time. >> jimmy, we did say singer. >> jimmy: oh, well. >> no -- >> jimmy: you touched a real cord here with the corey hart contingent, simon. >> sorry. i like corey. >> jimmy: would that be allowed? >> there's no rules. >> jimmy: there are no rules. >> no rules. >> jimmy: and you could potentially have a 13-year-old kid singing against larry king,

for instance, at the end, because you don't have -- because the age range -- >> that's a horrible thought. >> jimmy: it is a horrible thought, but it would be the greatest finale in the history of television. >> well, hypothetically, yes. we had someone, actually a married couple turned up. she was 83 and he was 70 and took him five minutes to get on the stage. i was rooting for them. you'll see them on tomorrow night's show. but they were absolutely dreadful. but -- and i said to paula, i said, looking at you and me in ten years time. >> jimmy: you tell them, you don't sit there and say something nice just because they're older. you tell them what you really think. >> i found it difficult to be horrible to them because they were sweet. >> jimmy: so, you do pull your punches occasionally. >> oh, yeah. i mean, if they're obnoxious, like, the worst thing you can get is when someone who comes out, they have never worked a day in their life, they're 17, why are you here? i'm blessed. and i go, you're not. i am. no, no, trust me, god didn't wake up today and bless you and just ignore everything else in

the world going on. you're not blessed. i am. and so that would irritate me. >> jimmy: yeah, right. [ applause ] i understand. it irritates me, too. when you were a kid, what were you like? were you snotty? did you have an ego or cocky or whatever? >> i was so obnoxious and so badly behaved. >> jimmy: really? >> oh, yeah. school, i left with no qualifications, i went to college for a year and got kicked out. everything was a disaster. >> jimmy: did you get into trouble? >> i was a naughty boy, yeah. the naughtiest thing i did, i was 12, i don't know if you had them in america, these things called pea guns? >> jimmy: yeah, pea shooters. >> they're like a plastic gun and you put these dried peas in and they shoot about eight foot. so, we had these pea guns. i was living in england, i wanted to go to a town ten miles away. i got on this bus. and as a joke, it was a joke, i put the gun to the driver's head

and i said, take me there. and i remember thinking, he's really playing the part. when we got to the other end, there were three, four police cars waiting. he thought we held up the bus. so i didn't tell the policemen they were fake guns. i thought, this is going to be really embarrassing for you. eventually a policeman came in, said, where did you get the guns from? and i went, a toy shop. he said what do you mean? i said, they're pea guns. we actually shot a pea. it was so slow, it did this arc. my mom was worse than the police. she was furious with me and then she made me take a job for the next month, which i had to pick up stones from a field for a month and then i got fired for feed, the farm dogs. >> jimmy: you picked up stones? >> that was the idea. i had to pick up stones. there was another stone underneath. it was like never ending. >> jimmy: almost like your job now in a way. [ laughter ] if you think about it. we're going to take a quick break here. going to get people a little look at what your new show --

i'm excited. i mean, i can't imagine the reaction these guys at "american idol," if you take them down. and believe me, if you're show is successful, it's going to destroy that franchise. [ applause ] >> no, they're rooting for me. >> jimmy: we'll see. simon cowell's here. we'll be right back. i can't let allergies stop me from leading the way... so, i get claritin clear... alright... let's move on team ! claritin works hard to relieve my worst symptoms. and only claritin is proven to keep you as alert and focused as someone without allergies. no other brand can say that not even allegra. watch your step ! i couldn't do this without you ! don't let allergies hold you back. live claritin clear with non-drowsy claritin.

obnoxious in a strange way, i kind of related to him. and i was sort of supportive and then he just crumbles after he sings. it is quite horrible what happens next but he was fun. >> jimmy: who is the scariest person you met on this season so far? >> oh, without question, 14-year-old kid called brian in new york. and he was, again, he was obnoxious, this kid was born obnoxious. he was the most ruthless, ambitious, obnoxious, rude, but talented person i think i've met in years. >> jimmy: really? >> this kid is destined for greatness. >> jimmy: did you adopt him? what do you do? >> you couldn't. you just couldn't. i mean, he is -- everyone said to me, you have to be nice to a 14-year-old because they're going to be all scared. it's like -- you haven't met these 14-year-olds out on the road. i'm the one who was scared. >> jimmy: yeah. the winner of the show gets $5 million. on "american idol," they got nothing, really? >> no, they get half a million, a million or something. >> jimmy: $5 million, do you

think that makes a difference when people decide which show they're going to audition for? >> 100%. people want some cash now. and all the good things i've met in my life are greedy. >> jimmy: really? >> that's what kind of spurs them on. they're ambitious. they want more and more money and fame. that's what we've attracted. i love it. >> jimmy: theoretically, if they win, they don't ever have to sing again in their entire life, which turned out to be the case with a lot of the "american idol" winners. [ laughter ] um -- >> i'm going to get in so much trouble. i didn't say that. >> jimmy: i want to ask you about one thing. i heard you were visited by a ghost while you were on the road. >> again, it was another teenager, of course. it was some 14-year-old. she was sweet but looked slightly demonic. and when we asked her what she does for a living, not for a living, what was her hobby, she said with this weird look on her face, i talk to ghosts. and because she got a no and because i said, as a joke, well, can we meet your friends, once

she left, the lights kept going on and off in the studio and i genuinely think we were haunted. >> jimmy: you really do? i find it unbelievable that you believe in that. i think you would be the last guy on earth that believed -- >> i kind of want to believe. and she was so believable. and i did mean it when i said to her, well, we'd like to have a few of your friends down for the afternoon. and she left in such a bad mood that it all went really wrong for the rest of the day. so, i genuinely think we were haunted, yeah. >> jimmy: and you just did an interview in which you said you would like to be cry jennicly frozen -- i assume once you die, not before you die. >> rather like your face. >> jimmy: what's that? >> rather like your face. >> jimmy: how dare you. but is this true?

take the risk? if it all goes wrong, i'm in a deep freeze. if i'm right, i'm going to be doing "x factor 304." >> jimmy: have you established a fund of some kind which will keep you alive for hundreds of years? >> yeah, well, there are places, like, in europe. >> jimmy: i know. >> and all you do, you simply get put into a deep freeze after you die. what i'm hoping is that i come back when i was about 30 when i was very good looking. i don't want to come back at 80 or something. >> jimmy: i see. well -- >> get something done, couldn't i? >> jimmy: when you're frozen will be when it happens. and i love the idea of your nipples being frozen, too, because that will be a special something for everyone, too. through all of eternity. >> do you think it's weird that i would do it? >> jimmy: yes, i do think it's weird. >> why? do you all think it's weird? no. i mean, it's -- >> jimmy: do you think most people don't think that's weird? >> i kind of get an odd reaction when i say it but when you think about it logically, the olds are in your favor, i think. >> jimmy: i guess so, but a, there's better things that can be done with that money, and b,

who knows what they're going to do with you when they unfreeze you. they could put you in something really weird. they're really going to screw with you. >> the lights are going on and off -- >> jimmy: it's the ghost of clay aiken. great to see you. best of luck with the show. always enjoy it.

still to come, gavin degraw. earlier tonight, your votes or lack of them silenced our next guest's giant shoes after only a single cha-cha-cha. along with his dance partner peta murgatroyd, please welcome the first castoff from "dancing with the stars," the artist formerly known as ron artest, metta world peace. [ cheers and applause ] [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: well, hello there. i don't know what to call you anymore, by the way, because on monday night, you were listed as ron artest and then tonight you were listed as metta world peace. >> yes, yes. >> jimmy: why? >> they're bipolar, abc.

>> jimmy: why did they change from one to the other? >> they're bipolar at abc. >> jimmy: did that have anything to do with you? at your request? >> as far as me saying, hey, i want my name to be this? >> jimmy: yeah. >> no, they told me. >> jimmy: i would have said, vote for world peace. and here's the number -- i know i would have won. >> that's what we should have done. >> jimmy: you should have done it the other way. >> yeah. >> jimmy: peta, this is your first season on the show and you came from australia? >> uh-huh. >> jimmy: and you get ron and what do you think when you meet ron at the beginning? >> wow. he's a 6'7" basketballer so i was just like, oh, my gosh, how am i going to make this guy dance? >> jimmy: it's hard when they're tall. >> oh, super hard. it's harder for them to get down into the floor and flex his knees. >> jimmy: you knew there was no chance you were going to win? [ laughter ] >> no, no. not at all. >> jimmy: ron, i want to ask you a question, metta, whatever the hell your name is right now. have you ever seen a full episode of "dancing with the stars" before this?

>> no, i never seen a full episode. [ applause ] >> jimmy: i had a feeling. and you want to know why i had a feeling? because last night when you games got your scores, you got a total of 14. you got, what, a, what, two 4s and a 5 or something like that. and ron was upset, ron, you thought you should have gotten a 12. but not total -- you wanted a 12 from each judge. unfortunately, it only goes up to 10. >> yeah. >> jimmy: yeah, so that's when i knew that something was off. >> i was just expecting the judges to see the effort and the entertainment. >> jimmy: oh, they saw the effort. they saw you struggling to remain standing. there was a lot of entertainment. i'm very disappointed that you got voted off. you know what i think? i think people saw you with the hair. i any think dying your hair yesterday was a mistake. >> it probably was. >> jimmy: i tell you why. >> i think it was the beard.

>> jimmy: you dyed your facial hair, too. people thought, he's not taking this seriously, he's just being a clown and why am i going to waste my precious text messaging time voting for him? >> i'm sorry, peta. >> don't be. >> wasn't she amazing? oh, my goodness. oh, wow. >> jimmy: you don't have to go back to australia now? >> no, no. >> jimmy: you can live here at our show, if you want. >> thank you. thank you, jimmy. >> jimmy: and so, okay, so, ron, now, your name is officially metta world peace now? >> yes. officially. >> jimmy: and no one should call you ron anymore? >> they can. >> jimmy: this is very confusing to me. i feel like you're going to change your name again also. i feel like -- >> you feel like that? >> jimmy: yeah, i feel like you're the type that will do this every 18 months or so. >> i'm going to keep it like this for at least a couple years. until there's world peace. >> jimmy: did he practice a lot and hard? as far as dancing goes? >> yeah, he did. he worked very, very hard. >> jimmy: how many hours a day on average?

>> oh, probably about three to five hours a day. >> jimmy: really? three to five hours a day? >> yes. i was working hard. i just didn't pay attention to detail. as you can see. my hand was like crooked. and one time, i was like, my feet was pointing up and the toe was supposed to be -- >> that point. >> this is the point i needed. >> jimmy: i don't think your toes can point down. >> these ones don't go down. the other one but. i'm trying to tell len, this toe doesn't work. this one does. and he's just -- >> jimmy: you should have explained that to the studio audience at the outset. >> toe is not working, but i'm good. >> jimmy: well, i'm very sad to see you go. i was really looking forward to you doing weird things. will you continue to appear on the show, as sometimes that -- sometimes the contestants do when you get eliminated? >> i think they said they're going to give us a chance to come back for the finale. >> the finale, for sure. >> jimmy: hopefully before the finale. >> jimmy: are you going to keep practicing? >> i think we have enough time to practice now. >> jimmy: yeah. will you make yourself available to ron any time he wants to practice? >> of course, yes. >> jimmy: you will for real? >> yes. >> jimmy: so you won in this

whole deal. >> yes. >> jimmy: well, sadly, we have a tradition here at the show. we're going to go outside where the ceremonial burning of the capezios. guillermo is out there with ron's giant dance shoes. ron, metta, the both of you were eliminated -- >> what size are those? >> jimmy: -- from "dancing with the stars" tonight and now your shoes pay the price. guillermo? metta, america has spoken. your dance card has been punched. thank you, ron, thank you, peta. a pleasure to have you, always.
