'cause -- [ laughter ] over the weekend, guillermo tweeted this. he tweeted, tienen restaurant en gym. combination of break fast burritos. which translated to they have restaurant in gym, breakfast burrito is best. so let me -- your gym has a
12:04 am
restaurant? >> like a small coffee shop. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: and they serve breakfast burritos? are you sure it's a gym and you're not accidentally going to a del taco? >> it's a gym. >> jimmy: it's a gym. well, you got two weeks left and then we might have to say adios to the mustache. >> yeah, i think we're going to say good-bye. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: that's what i like about guillermo, his stick totiveness. if we do say good-bye, we're going to send it to the smithsonian. you know what the smithsonian is? >> no. >> jimmy: okay. [ laughter ] hey, we had a new episode of "the bachelor" tonight here on abc. as a valentine's day gift to celebrate the holiday, ben took the remaining bachelorettes on a vacation to belize but don't worry, i'm sure your girlfriend will love the vermont teddy bear you got her. i can't tell if ben the bachelor actually likes any of these women or if he's just using their mouths as a temporary
12:05 am
storage area for his song but -- [ laughter ] you know what would be fun? they should change the rules to make it first one to get pregnant wins the show. why not, right? the villain on the show this season is courtney. courtney is the beautiful model who likes to take her clothes off. i don't know what ben sees in her. other women hate her. they had an intervention with ben to tell him courtney isn't in it for love. he didn't care, he just see her naked. i guess courtney's used to getting her way with men because she seems very confident she can win this thing. >> today was one of the best days i've ever had. i'm kind of high on love right now. and snap, girls, the show's over, you can all go home, pack your bags. kill shot. i don't want to get cocky
12:06 am
though. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: no, the important thing is she's beautiful on the outside and that's what's -- [ laughter ] ben eliminated emily and rachel tonight. this surprised me because it's valentine's day so you'd think they'd use the roses but they did the eliminations a little bit differently. >> holy [ bleep ]. are you serious? >> i'm right here with you. >> if you asked me a year ago if i could ever swim with sharks, i would have said never in a million -- [ laughter ] >> jimmy: i guess because of the holiday it was hard to get long stemmed so sharks work just as well. [ applause ] valentine's day is tomorrow. valentine's day is -- always gets a little bit complicated to me because i'm married to the sea. [ laughter ] valentine's day is weird. a nude flying baby that shoots
12:07 am
arrows isn't a holiday, it's a horror movie. here's a good tip. if your girlfriend or your wife gives you that speech about how she doesn't care about valentine's day and how it's a holiday invented by corporations, don't fall for it. just buy the flowers. we came up with a fun new way to celebrate valentine's day. we're going outside to my cousin sal who's on hollywood boulevard. hello, cousin sal. this is an audience participation segment. we've done it once before. it's called would you like to dump a milk shake on your spouse's head. sal, we have a couple there? >> yeah, we do. >> jimmy: come on in, folks. what's your name? >> jennifer. >> jimmy: and your name? >> scott. >> >> jimmy: where you guys from? >> massachusetts. >> jimmy: how long you been married? >> six months. >> jimmy: you here on vacation? >> yep. >> jimmy: things going well in your marriage so far? >> so far. >> jimmy: what's the number one problem? >> what's for dinner. >> she can never make up her mind. >> jimmy: wait a minute, you're
12:08 am
saying, scott, you want to know what's for dinner all the time? >> no, she wants to know what's for dinner. >> jimmy: what, you ate it all? [ laughter ] >> terrible. >> jimmy: sorry, sal. >> she's just upset because she really can't cook that well. >> jimmy: do you guys -- oh, really, oh. >> she's -- >> jimmy: it looks like you're doing okay. [ laughter ] now, are you guys -- jennifer, does scott give you good valentine's day gifts? >> yeah, i would say so. >> jimmy: all right, and scott, does jennifer give you good valentine's day gifts? >> she lets me stay in the house. i guess that's a gift every night. >> jimmy: we're going to give you a gift tonight. would either of you like to dump a milk shake on the other's head? >> yes. >> jimmy: all right. we're going to send you up to the roof, our roof of our building, all right. >> okay. >> jimmy: okay, now somebody's going to take you out there and lead you up to our roof. now, sal, you prepare scott for targeting. >> okay. >> jimmy: and i think this is
12:09 am
going to be easier for her than him. we'll check back in when she gets up to the roof, all right? >> great. >> jimmy: all right. don't worry, you'll get your chance too, scott. this is going to be fun. a lot of fun. maybe they'll have a screaming match on the way home. who knows. hey, here's something i was unaware of. apparently jay leno is hosting "the tonight show" now. did you know this? on thursday night, jay was in the middle of a comedy bit called jay's valentine's day gift ideas. he's always coming up with great new stuff. so jay's going through some of his ideas and guess whose name came up? >> giving fur as a gift has become politically incorrect. there's a better way to keep your loved one warm. instead of fur, look what we have here. let me show you what this is. this beautiful wrap is made from discarded celebrity toupees. you see, there's a -- there are two shatners here. there's an elton john.
12:10 am
ooh, there's even a jimmy kimmel. look at that. it's got some -- it's still got the black dye on it. >> jimmy: that is not nice. that's not the gentle jay i've grown to know and love. let's watch the last part in slow motion. watch after the joke how proud of himself he is. even his body language. play that one more time. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: -- for jay leno -- [ applause ] he's still the king. cleto, i want you to start saying oh, wow, and woo, every time i make a joke. participate like the band leader on that show. do something, will you? you know, the grammy show lasted 3 1/2 hours last night. before it was over, kim
12:11 am
kardashian married half of the l.a. clippers. >> cleto: whoa, woo. [ applause ] >> jimmy: did you see the beach boys on the grammys last night? beach boys are so soold, i wasn sure if i was watching the grammys or the grampies. >> cleto: whee. >> jimmy: somebody get me a -- like a wet towel or something, all right. adel cleaned up lastgrammys. you hear about this? poor vanilla ice, they made him sweep up after the grammys. >> cleto: whoo. >> jimmy: thank you very much. okay, good. now, just to settle this once and for all. this is a wet towel. if i dyed my hair, this towel would have black on it, okay, when i did this. you see any black on this towel? do you see any black on this towel?
12:12 am
okay. [ laughter ] all right, case closed, thank you. [ cheers and applause ] thank you. the grammy awards here in los angeles last night. now it's going to be hard to transition. [ laughter ] i don't know if i can do this. are they up on the roof yet? is everybody up there? let's go up on to the roof and see -- oh, that's not jennifer. that's guillermo. hi, guillermo, how are you? >> wow. >> jimmy: you were just down here and now you're up there. there's jennifer. you seem excited about this. >> oh, i am. >> jimmy: you are, all right. all right, jennifer's about to try to dump a milk shake on her husband's head. are you ready to do this? we have a tray of milk shakes. and your husband is down on the
12:13 am
street. >> yes, he is. >> jimmy: your husband's name is scott. >> yep. >> jimmy: there he is with cousin sal. okay, the umbrella. sal, get out of there with that umbrella. scott, you ready for this? okay, good. jennifer? have you ever dumped on scott before? >> nope. [ laughter ] je all right. on the count of -- three, two, one. go ahead and dump it. here we go. oh! wow. that was pretty good. she really got you, scott. >> that's cold. >> jimmy: like a pterodactyl was flying overhead. what flavor is it, scott? >> you know -- smells like chocolate. >> jimmy: now it's your turn. we're going to send you up to the roof. he has redeveloping on his mind
12:14 am
now. that's how to celebrate valentine's day. [ applause ] this is funny. in college basketball this weekend, texas beat kansas state but that wasn't the funny part. nba hall of famer david robinson was in the crowd at the game. look at this. >> basketball, what a groebl game it is. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: i don't know where she came from. let's watch that again. there's david robinson and -- hello. it's like whack a mole or something. [ laughter ] here's the flip side of that. you know sometimes on the news the reporters are working in the newsroom behind the anchor so the anchor's reporting and people in the background typing and whatnot. this is what they do on the local cbs news in chicago. pay special attention to the woman in the back of the room on tonight's edition of behind the news.
12:15 am
>> he believes the day care owner's husband is the one who dropped them off. dcfs confirms they are investigating but they would not say. >> jimmy: playing duck, duck, news there. is he up there? that's cousin sal down at the bottom. okay, jennifer, you really got him, didn't you? >> i sure did. >> jimmy: yeah. but now he's going to try to get you. >> oh, great. >> jimmy: will you be mad at him if he hits you with the milk shakes? >> no, probably not. >> jimmy: good, all right. let's go to scott on the roof. scott, jennifer just said she will not be mad at you if you hit her with these milk shakes. >> yeah, right. famous last words. >> jimmy: right. well, i guess we're going to find out now, all right. are we ready to go? we have the milk shakes at the end of the pole there. those milk shakes are full? >> yes, jimmy. >> jimmy: you did not drink any of them? >> no. >> jimmy: we had some trouble in rehearsal. all right. scott, i'm going to count from
12:16 am
three. three, two, one. and dump it. wow. well, thank you, guys, and happy valentine's day to both of you, thank you. [ applause ] we got a good show for you tonight. david alan grier is here with us. music from lana del rey. and we'll be right back with jeff goldblum so stick around. ashlee! ashlee! ashlee! ashlee! what were you looking for when you bought your edge? um, i was definitely looking for fuel economy. that's the whole reason we, we wanted to look at the ecoboost. can you talk a little bit about the style of the edge? um, well, i think it's very hip. i even have several guys were like "whoa, do have twenties on those".
12:17 am
like, don't even know what that means, but i guess it's cool.

12:22 am
better.

12:23 am
that? they must have changed that. some smart therapist. in our thing, hey, you don't have to send it to everybody. and then you'd see some of the ones filling up. then you'd see yours. >> jimmy: that's very sad. >> for all to see, you know. >> jimmy: do you remember any of the girls specifically in school you were interested in? >> yeah, i had a romantic streak when i was very young. >> jimmy: how old? >> i tell you, this is pre -- you know. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: car waxing? >> yeah, wax on, wax off. it was -- when i was in kindergarten, i had a girlfriend and i didn't even know it. i think i got embarrassed out of every day out of school i would go to patty manning's house. hi, patty manning. haven't seen her since then. i would look forward to going to her house. her mom would make us sandwiches. we'd talk. i just liked -- >> jimmy: carry her books and do those things? >> i didn't think of it as,
12:24 am
like, oh, i'm courting you. we just wanted to be together. i just loved her. >> jimmy: that's very cute. >> and then i was telling somebody i had this crush on this girl from like fifth to tenth grade. i was -- >> jimmy: that same girl? >> no, not that same girl. i got this obsessive crush on this girl. and i would ride my bike and just wait outside her house. >> jimmy: oh. >> just look at her house. it was like stalking now if it was -- >> jimmy: yeah, pioneers of stalking. >> yes, i was one of the pioneers. i was on the threshold. no, i would just wait to see if she would appear. i just wanted her to appear. at night i would imagine -- >> jimmy: at night? >> my pillow -- no, it was a different episode. turn the chapter. at night, my pillow, i would say secret things that i did not dare say out loud to anybody. i'd say, oh, i love you, i love you. i would. i don't know where i got this idea. >> jimmy: you had a pillow named stephanie? >> well, for those moments i named her.
12:25 am
>> jimmy: have you ever run into her as an adult like at the reunion or anything like that? >> no. >> jimmy: you have not? >> well, i never went to the reunion. i had traumatic experiences back then. i remember once -- this must have been like early on because i don't know if they do this anymore, they hand out, you know, milk. do they still have milk for kids in grade school. so they have their little cartons of milk. there would be half chocolate and half vanilla. they'd go up the rows. and each day the next person in the row would get a chance to hand out the milk to everybody. but they would get a chance to pick a partner. >> jimmy: oh, okay. >> up till that point, all the boys picked boys and all the girls picked girls. when it came to me, they said, who's your partner, i said -- i don't want to say her name. i said stephanie. i said stephanie. and everybody was -- ooh. >> jimmy: wow. >> they kind of -- i kind of didn't know. so i was already -- so we marched out to the thing because we went down the hall. when we got alone in the hall, i

12:36 am
at which i'd hit puberty. >> jimmy: uh-huh. >> so you can imagine. shortly after, i think i was 13 or 13 1/2 or 14 at this point, i had -- i wanted to do something more than just what you do early on at that period. >> jimmy: with a human? >> what? >> jimmy: with a human woman? >> exactly. so i got this idea. i was very -- how do i tell this? i was -- i knew that there was -- we lived in kind of the suburbs. nice kind of neighborhood. and across -- literally across the railroad track in a kind of bad -- i don't think it was dangerous. i don't know. now it would be a different thing. in a bad section, there were these prostitution little houses. that i'd heard about, read -- you know. i thought, i got -- because i couldn't -- i couldn't -- with any of the girls i was going to school with, i couldn't figure out how to make a date or anything. we didn't get allowances. so i went into my dad's wallet.
12:37 am
i think i -- and got i think $10 or -- i think -- i thought that would suffice. it probably would have. then i walked -- i'd never walked this far away from home or to this section. but i walked after dark with this money in my pocket thinking, here goes. sure enough, where i'd heard there were these places -- i really hadn't seen them, there was kind of an alley and a bunch of doorways and it was kind of dark with red lighty kind of doorways. a girl or two hanging out of the thing. i thought, okay, i'm going to go. so i proceeded to go into one of them. and it was kind of dark inside. there were some girls sitting around the living room. and the older one or i guess the madam said hello, welcome. didn't know what she must have thought of me. said, well, can i pick a girl? yes, yes. i said, okay, that one. and then she said, okay.
12:38 am
then we started to go back from the living area into -- down this hallway into what -- i could see at the end of the hall was an open door and a bed. and halfway down the hallway, i said, wait a minute, wait a minute, what time is it? what time is it? oh, said, i'm so sorry, i forgot, i have to -- i'll be back. i'll be back. but i just chickened out. >> jimmy: chickened out. yeah. well, you did the right thing. >> it was the right thing? >> jimmy: yeah. >> probably wouldn't have gone very well. >> jimmy: now, on a very different note, you're playing a gay dad on "glee." [ applause ] >> yes. also -- >> jimmy: it's been a long road. >> it's been a long road. very, very winding road. you know who my husband is on the show is brian stokes
12:39 am
mitchell. >> jimmy: okay. >> fantastic fellow. anyway, "glee" is fantastic. he's fantastic. >> jimmy: we have a clip of you guys on the show here. need to set it up. >> i'm anxious to see it. i haven't seen a frame -- >> jimmy: really? >> no. >> jimmy: so we need setup here? >> yeah. we're the parents of rachel, if you -- played by the wonderful lea michelle. [ applause ] and she of course as you know if you watch the show is fixing to get married with her boyfriend at a too young age we think. we've hatched this plan to -- by reverse psychology get them not to do it. by saying do it, lvive a marrie life. >> jimmy: this seems like a really good plan. >> very idiotic plan. >> jimmy: let's take a look.
