12:03 am
then you pour the drink. and then you drink it. sal ud. >> jimmy: wow, no shakers and no blenders. that's amazing. >> guillermo: why would i use shakers and blenders when bud light lime already did it all for me? dumbass. happy cinco de mayo, everybody! >> dicky: bud light lime lime-a-rita -- authentic margarita flavor with a splash of bud light lime. it's a margata with a twist! >> jimmy: "jimmy kimmel live" is back in two minutes with john cusack, the latest castoff from "dancing with the stars," and music from vintage trouble. what kind of name is that? call him. here weego! ♪ no... yup... here weego. ♪ here weego! ♪ thank you. here we go... uhh... ♪ here we go!

>> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live!" tonight -- john cusack, gladys knight, and music from vintage trouble. with cleto and the cletones. and now, here's jimmy kimmel!
12:06 am
[cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: thank you. thanks. too much, really. thanks. thank you for watching. thank you for coming. who's ready to explore themselves a little tonight? really, let's dig a bit deeper than we usually do. i like to welcome fans of the show, "dancing with the stars," who stayed up late to watch mow town weeks on "dancing with the stars." nothing says motown like a british guy telling a girl from little house on the prairie that he loved her passo dob lay. all this week they had various
12:07 am
performances. the two couples in last place competed in a dance duel. we take two of the worst dancers and make them dance even more. that's what they did. it was between gladys knight and roche aun fact an, and the mirror boot went to gladys knight. this video you're watching is not in slow motion. this is full speed. there you go. like line-dancing. that would be kind of a bummer for a motown legend getting kicked off in motown week. i guess the pips voted for irkel. gladys and her partner will be out later in the show. i'll help them work through this difficult time. kathryn jinkins got the best
12:08 am
scores last night, 39 out of 40, which reminds me i have a "dancing with the stars" knock knock joke. you want to hear it? [cheers and applause ] why not? we're here. don't get too excited. it's a knock-knock joke. >> knock knock. >> who? >> katherine jenkins. >> kath ring jenkins who? >> exactly. >> abc aired a "20/20" special called dance floor confidential behind the scenes of "dancing with the stars," so it was three hours of dance. remember when we used to have football on monday nights on abc? a special show, the inner work, of "dancing with the stars" including something that has been top secret up to this point. they showed how they select their celebrity dancers. it's a fascinating process. take a look. >> what would make a football
12:09 am
player flaunt his fox trot? who convinces a soap star to samba? the answer, the crack team that is "dancing with the stars" casting. >> we find the publicist bogs down the process. we take a grass-roots approach. >> we find a couple spots around town that are a hot-bed for celebrity activity. then we approach with the soft-sell. >> hi, connie. >> hi, jack. >> how are you today? >> i'm fine, thank you. got a few shirts to be cleaned and i brought that photo, put that on the wall over here. >> wonderful. excellent. >> goldilocks has entered the cave. take him out, jack. [ laughter ] wagner down, wagner down. bring the van around. go! >> go, go, go!
12:10 am
>> there's a cop car. come on! >> lead the way. [cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: that's how they do it. they almost brought him back in 2009, but he escaped due to a manhole. somebody alerted me to this on twitter. robert draper was on cbs this morning today, author of a new book about congress. when the host asked him about disgraced former new york congressman, anthony weiner, mr. draper was kind enough to provide us with our unintentional joke of the day. >> you said there's something about anthony weiner that people close to him didn't know. what is that? >> he's very rough on his staff. [cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: anthony weiner's name
12:11 am
has been mentioned a lot today because of a similar scandal involving a judge in detroit. third-circuit judge, wade mccree, he's married, specializes in sexual misconduct cases. he alleged sent this shirtless photo of himself to his female bailiff. the woman's husband found the photo and was not amused, he took it to the local news. they stopped by to ask the judge about it. >> yeah, that's me. no shame to my game. you can get that here and now. >> circuit judge wade mccree is pleased with him, but the man who found the photographs in his wife's cellphone is not happy. he's saying that this found his way to his wife's phone. >> okay, so he got it out of his wife's phone. >> now how did she say she got it? >> from you. >> she say that or she told you? >> through him.
12:12 am
>> so, it's still hearsay. >> jimmy: we have this photo of you with your shirt off, this whole court iss out of order. to me, the most offensive part is the tie he's wearing. it's like the carpet in a laugh lin kas seeno. the tie alone shows bad judgement. despite the fact that everyone in the world seems to have a facebook page, people still feel compelled to take naked photographs of themselves. we went on the street to ask a pedestrian question. that is, have you ever sent anyone a naked photo? the way this will work is -- you're cheering nudity? i don't know. we'll see someone introduce himself or herself. we'll stop the video. together we'll guess if we think
12:13 am
they've ever sent a naked photo of themselves to anyone. are you ready? let's meet our first pedestrian. >> amanda from santa clarita, california. >> have you ever sent anyone a naked photo of yourself? >> jimmy: the audience says yes. >> no, i haven't. too risky for me. >> jimmy: that's smart. let's see the next person. >> lauren from chicago. >> have you ever sent anyone a naked photo of yourself? >> yes! >> jimmy: someone said, absolutely. let's find out. >> no. but i have taken naked photos of my husband while he was sleeping. >> all right. next. >> ashley from dallas. >> ashley from dallas. >> have either of you ever sent a naked photo of yourself? >> jimmy: let's find out what the ashleys had to say.
12:14 am
>> tons. >> yes. >> jimmy: well, that's ashleys for you. technically with all those tattoos they could never be naked, could they? who else do we have? >> rayia from san francisco. >> have you ever sent anyone a naked photo of yourself? >> jimmy: most everyone is saying no, but there are some yeses. >> no. no. like fully naked? [ laughter ] [cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: good question. who else do we have? >> i'm mikey. >> have you ever sent anyone a naked photo of yourself? >> jimmy: let's go with yes and see. >> yes, unfortunately. >> jimmy: next up. >> dicky: i'm spiderman. >> have you ever sent anyone a
12:15 am
naked photo of yourself? >> yes! >> jimmy: really? that's spiderman. >> no. huh, no. >> jimmy: he was tingling. next. >> mario quail, inglewood, california. >> have you ever sent anyone a naked photo of yourself? >> jimmy: everyone says yes. >> no, no, the girls usually send me the naked pictures. i don't want my stuff all over the internet. >> jimmy: one more. we got one more. >> regina, stoney brook, new york. >> henry, stoney brook, new york. >> have either of you ever sent a naked photo of yourself to anyone? >> jimmy: you think so? >> only to him. >> and me to her. >> jimmy: that's how they met. that's a beautiful story.
12:16 am
[cheers and applause ] not as much as we would like, but it does happen. this is dumb. teenagers have a disturbing new hobby. some teenagers are reportedly drinking hand sanitizer to get drunk. these are youtube videos. >> they're not trying to get their throats cleaned, they're trying to get drunk off the alcohol in hand sanitizer. we found all sorts of postings from around the world online. >> five hours later, this is what happens when you get too much hand sanitizer. >> jimmy: no matter how great the challenge, children will always find a new way to get drunk or high. remember when zeemohe most embarrassing thing to drink? teenagers have been turning up with alcohol poisoning and
12:17 am
officials are worried it will become a national trend. drinking hand sanitizer is of particular concern because purel is considered to be a gateway soap. it could lead to lime cascade or scrubbing bubbles. apparently the kids use salt to separate the alcohol from the sanitizer which makes a liquid that is similar to a hard shot of liquor. you know what else is similar to a shot of hard liquor? >> a shot of hard liquor. steal a shot of liquor from your parent's liquor cabinet and refill it with iced tea like normal american kids. pay a homeless guy to buy it for you like our forefathers did. this seems crazy to me. you would think after all the warnings from the '90s, they would know better by now, but i guess this didn't work.
12:18 am
♪ >> hey, kid, want to be cool? >> yeah. >> try some hand sanitizer. >> hand sanitizer? >> come o everyone's doing it. >> everyone. >> i don't know. >> what are you, chicken? >> bok, bok, bok. >> watch out, kids! >> whoa, who are you? >> i'm sammy the dyno. if you want to be really cool, you'll say no to drinking ant bacterial hand sanitizer. the only place this belongs is in your hands. ha ha ha, oh, yeah. >> awesome. >> your hands are going to be clean for hours. now, remember, kids, don't drink hand sanitizer, don't drink hand sanitizer.

12:30 am
they came out and said, i was at home, i was still in high school when i made my first movie. i was like a teenager when they started making movies about teenagers. so i was in the right place at the right time. they happened to be making them in chicago. i had a little bit of training. so they said come out, we need you to loop. i said i don't know what that is but i'll come out. >> jimmy: yeah, yeah. >> so they flew me out. i came out. they put me up at the chateau marmont. right off the plane i saw a black satin jacket with the word hell written on the back, andre, the friging giant. >> jimmy: that's fantastic. >> that was my first look into hollywood. i thought, all right, this thing is on. this is on. >> jimmy: you like peaked as far

12:37 am
>> i'm afraid i'm not. >> jimmy: that is john cusack in the raven. it opens to friday. yeah, that's good. i have to say, you play a fictionalized version of edgar alan po, and it reminded me in a way of the movie batman returns, just the idea that there's a genius doing terrible things, and giving you clues through -- well, not you because you're not really him. >> half fact, half fiction, part legend. so it sort of mashes up all these things. >> jimmy: how much can you say about it? because i'm hesitant -- >> i've been talking a lot about it. it's sort of a -- it sets out his life. we took it from biographies and stuff. then the conceit is that no one knows what happened to him in the last week of his life. he sort of disappeared and ended up on a park bench in another
12:38 am
guy's clothes. and there was a mystery about the end of his life. so the film has a conceit that poe gets enrolled in one of his own stories, gets consumed by one of his own stories. there's a serial killer re-enacting his famous gothic horror stories to draw out poe. he has to work with the detectives and kind of understand the mind of a killer and then he has to find the killer who is obsessed with being poe, so it's a metta physical, mind-messing kind of -- >> jimmy: and it's a thriller, too. zodiac killer thrown in there and that sort of thing. >> it's all things poe. >> jimmy: were you a fan of his work before? >> i loved him in high school. >> jimmy: you went to high school with him. >> no, i didn't go to high school with him.
12:39 am
>> jimmy: you went to high school once, yes. i secretly loved reading all that assigned reading even though it wasn't like, i'd go, i can't believe i have to read it, then i'd go home and read it and love it. >> but poe stuff was great. he started the detective genre. a lot of people don't know sherlock holmes was based on a character poe created called inspector dellfeen. then he started all that horror stuff. he did science fiction. >> jimmy: so robert downey jr owes you money? >> yes, he does. >> jimmy: i read a story on the internet. it's all on the internet. that you met with steve jobs. >> that's true. >> jimmy: about the iphone. you tell the story. >> when i made a movie called
12:40 am
high fidelity -- [cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: great movie. every time i hear the stevie wonder song, i just called to say i love you, i think about that movie. >> that was a great one. we took a shot at him. high fidelity talked about it as one of the worst songs in the world. so we had to close with one of the great stevie songs. you couldn't take a shot at stevie. but he loved that movie and he called me up and wanted to know if i would do a commercial for itunes. he showed me the whole thing, basically showed me the further of music. i remember calling my friends and saying there's going to be this great new thing. i never thought that i should have bought apple stock. that's how much i don't think about money. it was like, he literally laid it all for me. >> jimmy: he probably would have given you apple stock if you did the commercial? >> i know.
12:41 am
i didn't feel like doing a commercial. >> jimmy: that's terrible. i feel so bad for you. >> should we have another shot? >> jimmy: here you go. [ laughter ] [cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: oh, that one was worse. >> it's worse the second time. >> jimmy: but i'm going to be minty fresh for gladys knight when she gets out here. >> jimmy: it's great to see you. "the raven" opens in theaters friday. we'll be right back with gladys knight. [ stella ] here's me. and here's my depression.
12:42 am
before i started taking abilify, i was taking an antidepressant alone. most days i could get out from under and carry on. but other days i still struggled with my depression. i was handling it... but sometimes it still dragged me down. i'd been feeling stuck for a long time. so i talked to my doctor and she added abilify to my antidepressant. she said it could help with my depression, and that some people had symptom improvement as early as 1 to 2 weeks. i'm glad i talked to her. i wish i'd done it sooner. now i feel more in control of my depression. [ female announcer ] abilify is not for everyone. call your doctor if your depression worsens or 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.
12:43 am
or if you have uncontrollable muscle movements, as these could become permanent. high blood sugar has been reported with abilify and medicines like it and in extreme cases can lead to coma or death. other risks include increased cholesterol, weight gain, decreases in white blood cells, which can be serious, dizziness on standing, seizures, trouble swallowing, and impaired judgment or motor skills. depression was always hanging over me. then my doctor added abilify to my antidepressant. now i feel better. [ female 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.
