morning america." jimmy kimmel is up next. and we will see you here tomorrow. >> dicky: tonight on "jimmy kimmel live" -- >> jimmy: i didn't think there could be anything cuter than guillermo but then he had a baby. it's like if a kitten gave birth to a puppy. >> yeah. >> dicky: matthew morrison. >> i love your show. i was like -- >> dicky: maggie q. and music from yelawolf. >> jimmy: without tv, what's snooki supposed to

>> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live"! tonight -- matthew morrison. maggie q. and music from yelawolf. with cleto and the cletones. and now, where am i? here's jimmy kimmel! ♪ it's "jimmy kimmel live" [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: hi, everyone. hello there. well, that's very nice. thank you. i'm jimmy, i'm the host of the show. thanks for watching. thanks for coming. are you here by choice or did the wind blow you in here?

we've had crazy winds here in l.a. in some areas, up to 97 miles per hour. 97 miles -- that's almost 100 miles per hour. that's -- a lot of miles per hour. traffic lights are out. flights have had to be diverted. paris hilton's chihuahuas threw away. the power went out at my house last night at about 1:00 a.m. i was forced to sleep the whole night in the dark. it was scary. it's still out. fortunately my good friend huey lewis told me the only power you need is the power of love. unless you want a shower, then it's nice to have electricity. [ laughter ] you know what i'm very good at when the power goes out? repeatedly forgetting the power is out and going over to turn the lights on and then realize -- oh, the power's out. and then three seconds later, i will do it again. i think the lapd jumped the gun raiding occupy l.a. tuesday night. they went in and they kicked everybody out of the park. if they waited one more night,

the wind would have kicked them out of the park for them. [ laughter ] those tents would have been occupying arizona right now. most everyone here in los angeles has been affected by the winds in one way or the other but none more than our intrepid local news reporters. >> you guys are lucky to be indoors. it is unbelievable out here. >> this is dangerous and it is incredible. it's miserable out here. >> our news truck was bouncing around like a pinball. >> our whole van was shaking on the highway. >> the truck is actually swaying. >> you wonder what just went down, what happened. we are also trying to stay alert. >> wind is really beginning to pick up now. this is about 90 miles an hour. >> and the sand really hurts, let me tell you. >> i have lost my shoes. >> oh, man. >> you know, matt, our truck operator tom said, don't you wish you had your weight back?

right about now i do -- oh. >> al's fine, by the way. >> jimmy: we added a few in there to make it more dramatic. but you get the idea. [ laughter ] wind really is the funniest weather condition. hail can be good, too, but wind is my favorite. there has been a lot of damage. more than 400,000 homes in southern california lost power. for the last 24 hours, we have been forced to keep up with the kardashians via the u.s. postal service. [ laughter ] the good part about the wind, i was thinking about it, sometimes you wake in the morning with a whole new set of lawn furniture. [ laughter ] eric dane from "grey's anatomy," you know him. he -- a huge tree fell and crashed into his house. mcsteamy's house was -- why would you laugh at that? [ laughter ] the actor was unharmed but he did lose his towel, again, so -- [ laughter ] dakota fanning, did you hear what happened to her? here she is last night this is right before the wind kicked in.

and this is dakota after -- it -- [ laughter ] they blow up so fast. the wind is a nuisance but it is kind of nice to experience some weather here in southern california. unfortunately for those of us who work here, we had to spend the whole day at our desks preparing the show. so, my cousin sal today did a nice thing. he went around the office, just to make sure everyone got a little taste of the outdoors. >> angela, please be careful. it's very windy. ♪ ♪

your hair looks really good. here's the writer's room. it should be good. oh. nobody here. oh well. ♪ ♪ [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: we have our own natural disasters.

we make our own natural disasters. in fact, my aunt and uncle made their own natural disaster, he's my cousin sal. we have good news to report tonight. for the first time in his adorable life, our parking lot security guard guillermo is a father. [ cheers and applause ] this morning at -- just before 10:00 a.m., guillermo and his wife sarah gave birth to benjamin francis rodriguez. very nice. middle name after my uncle frank. and look at this kid. this is -- healthy boy. [ laughter ] wait a minute. that's not him. wait that is not him. that's -- go to the other one, i think -- yeah, that's him right there. he's big, too. right? how big is he, guillermo? >> nine pounds and three ounces. >> jimmy: nine pounds and three ounces. that's -- a lot of that is baby weight, though, it will -- [ laughter ] i didn't think there could be

anything cuter than guillermo but then he had a baby. it's like if a kitten gave birth to a puppy. nine pounds is halfway to an olsen twin, you know. that's very nice. do you like him? >> he look like me, yeah. >> jimmy: yeah, yeah. kind of weird for me because i think of guillermo as my baby. literally i claim him as a dependent on my tax return. [ laughter ] so, in a way, i feel like i'm a grandpa today. >> yes. hi, grandpa. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: congratulations. we should go to hooters after the show to celebrate. >> yeah, sure. >> jimmy: all right. very good. here's an interesting piece of potentially bad news for guys like me. according to a new report that came out this week, the number of u.s. households that own a television set is down for the first time since they started the survey. in 1970. fewer people have tv in their homes. which is terrible. i mean, we should be ashamed of ourselves. this is america! the only excuse for not having a tv in your home is, you're too fat to fit into best buy to get one.

[ laughter ] i don't understand. the best thing that ever happened to us was tv. chaz bono dances on tv. for you. [ laughter ] without tv, what's snooki supposed to do? go around vomiting door to door? [ laughter ] without tv, there would be no kardashian wedding. [ laughter ] this is something. yesterday, kim kardashian, soon to be ex-husband kris humphries, instead of filing for divorce, he filed for an annulment of their marriage and cited fraud as the reason. getting an annulment is -- is kind of like playing uno. there's some very weird rules. if you win and it's like nothing ever happened. but -- uno fans? [ applause ] experts are saying it's going to be hard for him to prove there was any real fraud, but if you look closely at the video of the wedding, it's right there, it's obvious. >> repeat after me. kris, i love you. >> kris, i love you. >> and take you to be my wedded husband. >> and take you to be my wedded husband. >> til death do us part.

>> til death do us part. >> jimmy: her fingers were crossed. [ laughter ] and let this be a lesson to young people out there. the fact that both your names start with a "k" is not a reason to get married. in other reality show news, the republican candidates for president continued to entertain us in all manner of unusual ways. last night on fox news, michele bachmann, you know who she is, right? when she was asked who she would choose as her running mate in the impossible -- if she were to be elected the candidate -- who she would choose, she said donald trump is someone voters would be intrigued with. which -- yeah, i mean, we're intrigued with the shake wait, too. we don't necessarily want it to be vice president. can you imagine that? michele bachmann and donald trump? that doesn't sound like a ticket. that sounds like the 2012 "dancing with the stars" finalists. she's out of her mind. can you see donald trump accepting a job as vice anything?

i'm pretty sure he refused to watch "my yam viami vice" becau thought it was beneath him. donald trump shot a new video for youtube. he's got a channel. and any time he gets annoyed about something, he posts a video. this week, he's mad at president obama for the timing of a fund-raiser he held in new york last night. >> president obama is holding a fund-raiser, another of his fund-raisers, hundreds of them, every day he's holding fund-raisers. he doesn't govern. all he does is raise money so he can try and get re-elected, so he can put the country further in the hole. >> jimmy: you know -- donald trump is starting to remind me of someone. >> i'm not hearing anyone who hates barack obama. what's wrong with us anyhow? have we gone soft? >> jimmy: oh, yeah, that's the guy. yeah. the messy office, the crazy hair. this could be an argument for reincarnation. [ laughter ] but the real star of the republican field is, of course, herman cain. he's had quite a week. on monday, a woman named ginger white came forward and claimed

that they've been having an extramarital affair for the last 13 years. but this one was consensual. so, he's moving in the right direction. he denied the affair but when she claimed he regularly gives her money. he admitted that he does give her money but he did it because he's a quote soft hearted, giving person. then he admitted that he hadn't told his wife that he was such a soft hearted, giving person and he won't make an official decision about whether or not he will continue in the campaign until he goes home and sees his wife. isn't that cute, though? he thinks his wife is still at home. [ laughter ] he's planning to speak to his wife about it in person tomorrow. he says he wants to do it face-to-face because he thinks more clearly when he's being hit over the head repeatedly with a frying pan. so, that will be a fun friday night for the cains. honey, i'm home. i think herman cain is getting a raw deal. no one in the media is giving credit for remaining faithful to the same mistress for 13 years. [ laughter ] some big news for kids in afghanistan, where this morning

"sesame street" went on the air. so, now the top two u.s. exports to afghanistan are carpet bombs and elmo. [ laughter ] how can they have "sesame street" in a country that doesn't have streets? [ laughter ] they had a premiere event, a big publicity thing for the show in kabul yesterday. this is a real picture from it. is it me or does grover look nervous? [ laughter ] some of the characters on the show say it's not the same show we watch here. it's a localized version of the show. instead of bert and ernie, they have burqa and ernie. that sort of thing. and their teaching methods are a little different, too. >> you are watching "sesame street: afghanistan." >> hi there. here is the difference between near and far. okay, this is near. this is far.

um -- did you hear that? yeah, i think that was a bomb. i do not want to be here anymore. okay. this is near. ah! ah! this is far! >> "sesame street" is brought to you by the letter -- and the number squiggly line with dots next to us. >> jimmy: and let this be a warning to nations around the world, engage in a war with us and we will invade your country and provide you with quality children's programming. [ laughter ] and one more thing. it's thursday night. 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." >> dropped out of the race and set up a [ bleep ] frenzy among the other candidates. >> she's not the only other person that i have [ bleep ].

i have [ bleep ] a lot of people. the only thing about this particular one is, yes, she happened to be female. >> sometimes when we [ bleep ], we physically cannot stop. >> do you think you could [ bleep ] president obama? >> i think i stand by far the best shot of [ bleep ] president obama. >> the jackson family, who did not speak today in court, they looked at him and all mouthed the words [ bleep ] you. >> pretty nice [ bleep ], huh? >> very large. >> i think he either has [ bleep ] disease or -- >> what? is that a disease? >> we all love super long [ bleep ] and many of us have had to turn to extensions. >> i'm excited. last week, i [ bleep ] world heavy weight champion. even though i only held it for just a second, man, that was the greatest feeling in the world. >> no one goes over my bridge unless you [ bleep ] my [ bleep ]. >> don't worry, red rooster, we can [ bleep ] his [ bleep ]. will you help us [ bleep ] his [ bleep ]? great.

he's going to make the announcement right now, everyone. will you stay or will you enter the professional football league? >> that is unknown. i'm waiting on your decision. >> jimmy: okay, we're going to keep you here as our hostage in the audience until you decide. all right [ applause ] i told matt what i think he should do before the show and i apologize to trojan fans. but he needs money. guillermo, how do you feel? shouldn't you go to the hospital now? >> yeah. >> jimmy: go. >> all right. see you. >> jimmy: see you later, guillermo. there he is. the new father. [ applause ] i made him stay so i could tell him to go to the hospital. our first guest tonight is a spanish teacher with a song in his heart. his show is called "glee." it airs tuesday nights on fox and his cd, he's got a cd, on which he sings. it's called "matthew morrison. please say hello to matthew morrison. [ cheers and applause ]

>> jimmy: matt, first of all -- what does the title of your album mean? it's called "matthew morrison." what's the story behind that? >> ah, you know, i think it's very original, to be honest. i don't think there's ever been an album called "matthew morrison" before. >> jimmy: there probably hasn't. did you look it up? >> yes, i did. >> jimmy: you have unbelievable cosingers on this album. >> my costars, yes. >> jimmy: elton john. >> elton john. >> jimmy: how do you get alton john? you say, i'm making an album and i'd like elton john to be on it with me. >> yeah, well, he has this big oscar party he does to benefit his aids foundation and he invited me two years ago. i met him, we kind of hit it off. he was a big fan of the show and, you know, i think elton and the other one, sting -- >> jimmy: yeah. >> gordon sumner. >> jimmy: yeah. >> they -- i think they, you know, really like the show and they want to be apart of that next generation that's coming out. >> jimmy: so you tricked them

and told them they were going to be apart of the show. >> i did. i'm a huge television star. >> jimmy: do you ask personally? >> i did. >> jimmy: and you are doing an elton john song and sting song, so, who picks the song? >> i do. >> jimmy: you pick the song. >> yes. well, the thing was -- i asked them if i could do their songs because i didn't think they would want to do any of my songs because frankly i'm not as talented as they are. and they said yes. and elton, i wanted to do a mashup of two songs, and he said, you can pick any song, just not "crocodile rock." i don't know why, but that's why he said. i spent three days going through his whole repertoire which is, as you know, very massive. >> jimmy: vast. >> yeah. so -- >> jimmy: and you said, you know what, i love this song, and the only thing that would make it better is if i was also on it. >> you don't do good enough work, elton. >> jimmy: are you singing with them in the studio? >> yeah. >> jimmy: and is that -- you know, it's got to be imtim

dating -- >> for them, i know. >> jimmy: to meet those guys is intimidating. >> yeah. >> jimmy: and for them, of course. but then to sing, not only sing, but sing their songs. >> i know. no, it was quite a surreal experience. >> jimmy: yeah, what's wrong with you? >> i don't know. i like to be punished. i -- i was sitting in the studio and elton is in the booth, like, singing his song and he was singing and just hearing his voice and then -- i go in the studio, like, wow, just doesn't sound the same. but it's like, you know, that's -- you hear -- you know his voice on those songs. >> jimmy: if it sounds the same, then you've got a problem, because you're just -- >> if i sounded the same, i would be rich. >> jimmy: well, you can't get rich from having elton john and sting on your album, i don't know what you're going to do. >> no, you can't. >> jimmy: you can't? really? and gwyneth paltrow is on it. >> yeah, yeah. >> jimmy: she's got a great voice. >> she really does, yeah. i don't think anyone really knew that until she made her

appearance on "glee." >> jimmy: i think they did know it with her song with huey lewis. and you went on tour to support this? >> i did. >> jimmy: that seems like it would be -- well, it seems fun, but was it fun? >> it was fun. it was -- you know, "glee" hiatuses are so short and i come from, like, the theater word, did a bunch of broadway shows. and i really wanted to have that experience of being up on the stage again. but being on stage in a concert setting is so much different, because on stage you kind of have to earn the trust of the theater. you have to kind of win them over. on the concert, you know, you are getting up, doing a song and if you just do a hip thing like that, everyone goes crazy and it's not even -- it's not justified and it's not earned at all. [ laughter ] so -- but i'll take it. >> jimmy: you do it anyway. and tell everyone who you opened for. >> i was opening for new kids on the block and backstreet boys.

[ cheers and applause ] and then it was me, matthew morrison. the tour was called nkotbsb. but since i joined i called it nkotbsb-mm. >> jimmy: better than bm, i guess. [ laughter ] not the way you want to enter into the tour. and so you would come on and then an army of former teen idols would come on the stage and -- did the audience, they were -- >> it was crazy. you know, new kids on the block were huge in '89, that was their biggest year and then in '99 was the backstreet boys. so, the audience had women from the ages of, like, 45 all the way down to 14 years old. it was so eclectic and so interesting and it was a party every night. >> jimmy: it was. and did you live on the tour bus? >> i did. i did the tour bus experience. >> jimmy: was that good? >> yeah. you know, i did it, i had backup singers and my singers were

actually people i went to high school with. >> jimmy: nice. >> i hired them to be in my band and -- >> jimmy: could they sing? >> they could. thankfully. >> jimmy: that's good. >> probably better than i can. >> jimmy: buddies from high school. >> but it was amazing. you grow so close with people. but the weirdest thing is, stopping at truck stops, like, at 4:00 a.m. in the morning. you see the most interesting people. >> jimmy: like what kind of -- >> big truckers and they all have big thermoses that they fill with mountain dew. >> jimmy: uh-huh. >> and the little straw. what was weirder was, some guy was looking at me, like, hey, love your show. i was like -- [ laughter ] oh. it was crazy. >> jimmy: wow, that is -- i would think that is a little unsettling. guy all jacked up on caffeine and god knows what's going on. >> i know. >> jimmy: we're going to take a quick break here. matthew morrison is with us. this is his cd. it's called "matthew morrison." you can watch him on "glee." we'll be right back.

>> as an actor, you are not supposed to give another actor a note. >> jimmy: really? >> yeah, it's an unspoken rule. >> jimmy: oh, i see. >> you didn't know that? >> jimmy: not really, because i'm not an actor. i don't know what goes on. no wonder people get mad when i boss people around. >> that was the hardest part. but the thing is, i was just wearing a different hat. but the funniest part of that was, the first scene with jane lynch, who plays sue sylvester, obviously, i was directing her and i came to give her a note and she held her finger up, she said, before you say anything, i just want to let you know, i just want to remind you, that i have an emmy award and it was just nominated for a people's choice award. you may commence. >> jimmy: did that change your note that you were to give? >> no, i drilled her. >> jimmy: you have to rule with an iron fist or they don't have your respect. but then they get you back.bers direct the show? >> no, i was the only one. >> jimmy: well, that's all right. now they're all going to want to direct. >> probably. it was great. it was the christmas episode. wasn't a regular episode. they give me one of the biggest

ones of the year. and it was cool because we're doing this really cool thing, we're doing a christmas special within the episode of "glee" and it's a throwback and a tribute to the "stars wars holiday special" and the judy garland christmas special. >> jimmy: i don't know that one, but i saw the "star wars" one. are they combined? >> they are combined. >> jimmy: you wanted to make it weirder? some how? >> yeah, but -- called up george lucas and he gave us chewbacca, like there's only one guy that can officially be chewbacca. and so he lives in northern california, they flew him in. >> jimmy: you get to keep him? >> no. [ laughter ] no, but he gave -- >> jimmy: living in your yard. >> we had him for the day and it was just great. we were all taking pictures. >> jimmy: did he sing? >> no, he did not. >> jimmy: oh, really. that would have sbn something. wow, so you got the real chewbacca. is it the same one from the movie? >> no, no. but this is the guy that's been doing it for 12 years. >> jimmy: he's the official. >> he's got the stamp --

>> i think he's been here on the show, actually. >> probably. >> jimmy: chewbacca -- that's a big guest star. >> it is huge. >> jimmy: were you able to get judy garland? [ laughter ] >> no. >> jimmy: when does that episode come out? >> oh, god, i don't know. >> jimmy: it's a christmas episode so it's got to be around christmas. >> yeah, something like that. two weeks. >> jimmy: two weeks. look for chewbacca on "glee." matthew morrison, everybody.

[ laughter ] >> it's what childhood's about. >> jimmy: you are allowed at that age to be in the bar? >> i don't think so, no. >> jimmy: they just said, the hell with it? >> kathy's got her, whatever. >> jimmy: was your mom a colorful character? >> super. my mom -- the only reason i'm interesting is because of her. i mean, she is -- i assumed that i was interesting, sorry. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: that's part of being interesting. >> whoops. >> jimmy: you take that leap. [ laughter ] >> she's just super funny and super charming and -- everybody loves her. i don't think you can meet her without loving her. >> jimmy: is she working there still? >> no, she retired last year. >> jimmy: oh, she did? >> yep. i bought her the rolex, i did the whole thing. >> jimmy: oh, you did? that's very nice. >> yeah, she deserves more than that, but -- >> jimmy: she does. you give her things as the years go on. you don't have to give it to her all at once. >> i can't afford it. >> jimmy: how did you get the last name q, which is just the letter q? >> yeah.

i was living and working in asia for many years and my last name -- i have a really sort of white name. but my last name is quigley and nobody could pronounce it there. so they -- >> jimmy: how did they pronounce it? [ laughter ] >> somebody had asked me, are you upset that they made your name for you, and i went, had you lived there when i lived there and heard them try to say quigley -- you probably would be pleased with q. >> jimmy: who decided on the q? >> a newspaper one day printed it and i went through different incarnations. quinnley, quickley, somebody said to me, maggie, is it you are quickley because you're very quickly? somebody said that to me in hong kong. i was like -- no. not in any way. because my last name is not quickley. >> jimmy: a newspaper just decided to leave all the other letters off? >> talking about that region and talking about the top newspaper, talking about like circulation 5 billion, you know what i'm saying? so one newspaper does it, the

biggest one, everybody follows. >> jimmy: that makes it worse to me. who would be that audacious to just leave the rest of the letters off your name? >> they were just like, it's not worth it. >> jimmy: people read it and thought, oh, that's your name. >> they wanted to capitalize off the asian side, too, which is actually very sweet. they wanted them to be like, you are asian and hours. so, the irish bit, gone. >> jimmy: i see. >> the white said, nah. >> jimmy: and in ireland, maybe you will be o'quigley. >> hopefully. >> jimmy: you are a big movie star in asia. >> i was there, yeah. i worked there. >> jimmy: you weren't a big movie star there? >> i don't know. >> jimmy: and then your first big movie here in the united states was "mission impossible 3." right? >> my first movie, yeah. >> jimmy: with j.j. abrams. >> yeah. [ applause ] >> jimmy: were you -- making that transition from -- i would be more nervous, probably, working in a place where -- a foreign country. was it intimidating? >> it was more nerve wracking

because there, there's no unions, none of that, no sort of, like, my trailer has to be three stories and i have to park under it and land a helicopter on it. it's sort of like, we didn't even have trailers. >> jimmy: oh, you didn't? >> no, we had, like, a stool, without even a back. and if you fell asleep, you're screwed. just on the ground. >> jimmy: really? >> i was sit on the curb and eat my lunch. yeah, i mean, it was nothing like the way it is here. so i got here, and they're like, here's your trailer, your rose petals. i was like, wow! i love this industry! >> jimmy: and you did a lot of physical stuff. >> i did. >> jimmy: and you did a lot of physical stuff working with jackie chan and now as nikita, which is a character that's been around for a long time. >> yeah. >> jimmy: you do a lot of fighting. and yet, i feel like i could beat you up if i had to. [ laughter ] >> i don't think you feel that. >> jimmy: i outweigh you by 100 pounds. >> isn't it just strange --

>> jimmy: what? >> that things seem one way -- >> jimmy: i know, they seem one way. but you are wearing that arm thing and that makes you seem a little bit dangerous. >> it makes me feel like a princess. a warrior. >> jimmy: i'm trying to contain my muscles from ripping out of this jewelry. right? are you enjoying doing the show? >> i love the show. it's a lot of work. >> jimmy: you tweeted something that looked bad to me. this is a picture that you tweeted and tell us what happened here. >> i burned my boob. >> jimmy: you burned it? how did you burn it? >> i don't know. >> jimmy: and who is this man pointing at it? hey, look, everybody. >> he's my gay makeup artist. he's like ew, boobies. >> jimmy: he's your makeup artist? >> yeah, yeah, yeah. >> jimmy: what? >> he had to cover it. in the next scene, because it was burnt. i was shooting a gun -- >> jimmy: i bet he did. i'm going to have to put a lot of makeup on that. >> utter horror. but it felt -- the bullets came

that i ran into the shells that were coming out of the gun. >> jimmy: oh, the empty shells. >> and they were hot and they landed in my bra. >> jimmy: wait a minute. a >> and i kept going, i kept shooting and the take is finished and i was like, ahh! and i was burned. and the director walked up to me, he went, you didn't make a sound. you were burning the whole time. i'm like, got to get the shot. >> jimmy: wow. you learned a lot sitting on that stool in the street. >> right? >> jimmy: you paid your dues and came up the hard way.
