performing some kind of a removal procedure. and then rolling it up and devouring the evidence. if i was on that team, from here on out he would be referred to as picky mantle and nothing else. [ laughter ] also on the subject of baseball, after months of negotiations last week the chicago city council finally approved a $500 million renovation of wrigley field. it took a long time to get it approved because of concerns from the neighbors, who are worried that things in wrigleyville would change for the worse. but the cubs agreed to help improve the neighborhood, and chicago alderman tom tunney says he will make sure they do. >> an emotional alderman tom tunney said the cubs must follow through with their promise of improving the neighborhood in exchange for the city allowing the upgrades. >> you have to be a good neighbor. you have to be a good neighbor. otherwise, i'm going to be up your butt every day. and i'm going to tell you, i'm going to be up the butt every day to make sure. [ laughter ]

>> jimmy: he's a passionate alderman. i think what he's saying is lock your back doors. [ laughter ] pope francis said something surprising today. pope francis says he's going to start fighting in mma events. yeah. no. actually, the pope said in an interview today that he has no problem with priests who are gay. he said if someone is gay and he searches for the lord and has good will, who am i to judge? it's the same reason he turned down the vacant judge job on "project runway," by the way. [ laughter ] but pope francis is turning out to be very liberal on a wide range of issues. he still, though, does not support the idea of female priests. he said women cannot be priests because jesus chose male apostles. and also because letting women in there would ruin all the fun. i mean, let's be honest. [ laughter ] the pope made these comments on a flight from rio to italy. and they got a picture. look at him here. he looks like an angry businessman telling the kids behind him to quit kicking the seats. [ laughter ] when you're a flight attendant, can you order the pope to sit

down and put his seat belt on? this is fun. this happened on a local cable news station in austin, texas last night. there was a mix-up in the studio that made -- i guess made the anchorwoman think she was off the air. she wasn't off the air and because she wasn't she earns tonight's gold star for excellence in reporting. ♪ >> thanks for joining us here on yna this evening. i'm karina kling. here's tonight's top story. saying that. my friend jennifer, who used to work here, she said another station would be coming together and we used to do a dance to that song in the car. so yeah. we were pretty awesome. oh, no, we just hung out outside of work. good story. good story. then i found --

[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: i want to know what happened there. she found five dollars. if you're planning on going to jail anytime soon, this is something you might want to look into. the fremont police department up in northern california started what they call a pay to stay program for people who are convicted of misdemeanors. convicts who are sentenced to a few days can opt to pay extra, serve their time in a semi-private cell away from the general population in county jail. they'll charge $155 a night. for $155 a night you can stay in a small quiet facility. $255 gets you a junior suite. and for $1,500 they just let you go. [ laughter ] it's like "shawshank redemption" meets travelocity. [ laughter ] i kind of feel like this undermines the impact of the criminal justice system. if you drink and drive, you will go to jail. or a motel. it doesn't -- [ laughter ]

to me it sounds like a bad idea. but money is very tight. so i guess they're doing what they can to get people who do time to pay their own way, even if it means running ads on local tv. >> the fremont police department pay to stay option. for just $155 a night each prisoner is guaranteed food, a cot, blanket, toilet, cable tv. our amenities are unsurpassed in the incarceration industry. three-star rating from the correctional journal and rave reviews from satisfied inmates. >> i'm going to be up the butt every day to make sure. >> the fremont police department pay to stay option. nobody touches your butt. not liable for rodent, fights, salmonella, butt touching available at extra charge. [ applause ] >> jimmy: thank you, alderman. we're going to take a break. but when we come back, anthony weiner has been taunting me from vacation. so we're going to talk about his latest shenanigans. we have tonight's pedestrian question.

[ laughter ] anthony weiner. [ cheers and applause ] anthony weiner as you probably know is running for mayor of new york. last week it was revealed that after the whole thing, after he resigned from congress in disgrace and apologized to his wife and all of that for sending the erotic photos and messages to various women on the internet, he continued to do it. he kept doing it. he's now admitted to exchanging sexually oriented messages with at least three women after he resigned. which is crazy on its own. but even crazier when you find out he did it using the name carlos danger. [ laughter ] sounds like a bad mexican remake of the "bourne identity" movies. [ laughter ] but as a result of these new allegations weiner has -- he was

in first place in the mayoral race. he's now down to fourth place. but the good news is carlos danger is right up in first place. [ laughter ] and on top of that his campaign manager quit on him. and the campaign manager even published the text message exchange they had when he quit. this guy gets no privacy. the campaign manager's texts are in blue. weiner's are in gray. i will read them. "as of today i am resigning as your campaign manager." weiner said please reconsider, the worst is behind us. that's what you said when i started. i mean, it i really do. i need to think about it. me too. then he said, boing. [ laughter ] i quit. please don't. what are you wearing? [ laughter ] et cetera. he's nothing if not consistent. [ applause ] but he's undeterred. he held a press conference yesterday to say despite all this he will not drop out of the

mayor's race. and he said he has an amazing staff. he did. he really said that. [ laughter ] as if we haven't all seen it already. his wife, huma, is apparently sticking with him. i think that's unusual. i think most women would kill their husbands for something like this. i thought it would be fun to put that theory to the test. we found some married couples on hollywood boulevard today and we asked the wife the question, we said if your husband sent pictures of his penis to women would you stand by his side? we asked the question out on the street, and in here we together will try to guess what their responses will be. all right? let's begin. >> i'm from darby. >> and i'm dora. i'm from darby as well. this is my husband. >> if your husband sent pictures of his penis to two different women, would you stand by his side? >> jimmy: would she stand by her husband's side? almost everyone says no. let's find out. >> absolutely not. [ cheers and applause ]

>> jimmy: all right. let's go with another couple. >> we're from phoenix. kevin and meredith. >> meredith, if your husband sent pictures of his penis to two different women, would you stand by his side? >> jimmy: kevin and meredith. would meredith stay with him? [ audience answers ] yeah? all right. >> no. >> have you ever sent pictures of your penis to anyone? >> just to her. >> just her? nobody else? >> nobody else. just her. >> jimmy: lucky lady. all right. next up? >> i'm mike hiller and this is my wife stephanie hillary, and we're from amarillo, texas. >> okay. if your husband sent pictures of his penis to two different women, would you stand by his side? >> jimmy: well, hold on. the fact he's wearing his hat at the very top of his head indicates something to me. i don't know what. let's find out.

>> yes. >> how come? >> it's called forgiveness. >> jimmy: i don't know. wait. five seconds ago we were cutting people's penises off. [ laughter ] meet another couple. >> i'm manny. i'm from miami, florida. >> victoria. >> victoria, if your husband sent pictures of his penis to two different women, would you stand by his side? >> jimmy: manny looks guilty already. yes? no? all right. let's see what they said. >> i would. i would just hope it was a good picture and that the lighting was right. [ applause ] >> jimmy: positive. next? >> my name's gary and i'm from tijuana. >> my name's melanie. i'm originally from san diego. >> if your husband sent pictures of his penis to two different women, would you stand by his side?

>> jimmy: he looks scared. like we found something out. would she? [ audience answers ] all right. >> no. never. absolutely not. >> what would you do? >> i'd probably do some damage to that penis. >> scared? >> i am now. >> jimmy: one more. >> i'm justin. >> i'm elena. i'm from brazil. >> if your husband sent pictures of his penis to two different women, would you stand by his side? [ audience answers ] >> jimmy: all right. that was quick. >> well, who are these women? >> women he wants to get with. >> oh. if i'm involved, then that's fine. >> you're married to him. if he sent them to two other women who aren't you. >> if he tells me about it and we discussed about it. >> really?

>> yes. >> did you know this? >> no, i had no idea. >> what are you doing tonight? >> i mean, i have a lot of texts to send out. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: the communication is really the key. we have a good show tonight. from the los angeles dodgers clayton kershaw is here. we have music from pepper. and we'll be right back with neil patrick harris.

[ laughter ] >> why wouldn't you come to the premiere of the movie that you were in? >> jimmy: i'm pretty sure i wasn't invited. but yeah, i'm one of the -- i have like one line or something in the movie. >> you're fantastic. you're passive aggressive smurf. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: thank you.

yeah, i am passive aggressive smurf. it's going to be the number one doll, i'm sure. >> you turn the head backwards and forwards. >> jimmy: i can see kids all over america going what is passive aggressive? i don't even know what that means and i'm -- >> stop asking me questions. what's wrong with you? >> jimmy: was it fun, international smurf day or whatever the hell it is? >> a lot of international smurf things. yeah, it's fun. i'm here to promote the film. and the first one was fun and made a lot of money and was weird to make because you're acting to nothing and a year later you get to watch it. and the sequel is a better movie than the first. it's actually like a nice movie. people were weirdly tearing up at the end. >> jimmy: they were? >> there's father issue stories going on. it's actually a nice movie. >> jimmy: people in need of counseling. [ laughter ] >> no. no, passive-aggressive smurf. i think it's a good movie, obviously, for the kids and the parents to bring the kids. i also think because of the 3-d and the cg a fun movie for the stoners. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: oh, nice. there is a lot of parallels there. like the teletubbies and that kind of stuff -- >> tokey smurf?

>> jimmy: is there a tokey smurf? >> yep. [ laughter ] and let's take it further. take some hallucinogenics, go see the movie. [ laughter ] they live -- the first 20 minutes you're in smurf village. in 3-d. they live in mushrooms. >> jimmy: they do. they live in mushrooms. >> everyone could enjoy this movie. >> jimmy: you are hosting the emmys again coming up. [ cheers and applause ] >> yeah. thank you. >> jimmy: you're a very, very good host. >> thank you. well, you did such a great job last year. what are your thoughts? what are your opinions? what advice could you give me to help me this year? >> jimmy: i don't think i could give you any advice. i think you're pretty good at it. really, you prepare -- you know what? don't prepare this time. just wing it. just walk out there and say whatever comes -- whatever hits your head. >> that's not a bad idea. just ignore the teleprompters and just say [ bleep ]. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah. and say [ bleep ]. >> that'll work on a live awards show. >> jimmy: do some kind of weird tribute to paula deen. just to get everybody crazy.

there's an idea. >> too soon. too soon. [ laughter ] no, i just think the emmys are such an interesting show because there are so many awards that have to be given out all night long. i mean, you know that. >> jimmy: there are too many, yeah. >> well, yeah. it's just so many. it's like 26 or 27 awards within a three-hour period. so it limits the time you can spend doing bits and things. >> jimmy: ironically, the people giving awards for excellence in television don't understand that that's not good television. [ laughter ] >> that's true. but if you look back through the history of the emmys that's what it was about. it was a big dinner party that they all had. >> jimmy: they got rid of the dinner. >> they got rid of the dinner. and it's a big primetime show. so it's our job, my job to make sure that people are enjoying themselves. >> jimmy: i'm sure you'll be great. >> but i think less like the tonys, which was a lot more performance-based, the emmys is more, you know, honoring television and all that it has to offer. and congratulations. nominated for four emmy awards. >> jimmy: thank you. [ cheers and applause ]

yeah, give them to us. like if there's a lull in the action, people don't know what's written on that card. just read our names. if you get a hold of the envelope, that would be a great thing. and i'll do that for you the next time. >> switch off? >> jimmy: yeah. >> all right. it's a deal. you're going to win 11 emmys. >> jimmy: how are your twins? do you still have them? are they still fraternal? >> no, we gave them away. [ laughter ] they were fun for a minute. no, they're great. they're 2 3/4. 2 1/2-ish. and they're fantastic. they're hilarious. >> jimmy: very cute. >> they're all over the place. they pick things up and damage things now. they're in this age where they don't -- they'll go to sleep nicely when they're supposed to, and then every maybe 2 1/2 hours they wake up and need to be put right back down to sleep. nothing's wrong. they don't need to go to the bathroom or need anything. they just like, "papa. papa." [ laughter ] and i'm like, oh, god. so i get up. everything's fine. back in. every two g.d. hours. [ laughter ]

>> jimmy: eventually they'll be in school and it will be somebody else's problem. >> how does that stop? >> jimmy: i don't know. i think you have to medicate them. you have a lot of magic stuff at your house. like very interesting, elaborate things. do the kids play with that stuff? are they allowed to? >> well, no. they're not really allowed to. but all of my magic stuff, which used to be all over the place, then i started dating david and he was like you're a nerd. so he said all of that stuff had to go into one room. so i have a magic kind of man cave room that's all my cool magic stuff that looks like the magic castle or the haunted mansion. and to get into it there's a secret door that looks like a piece of art. so they know that it's in there. but they have the brains of 2-year-olds. so they just kind of walk right by it and forget that it's a door. >> jimmy: really? >> i'm lucky that way. they'll figure it out soon enough that there's no lock on that and there's a lot of breakable things in there. but they have the same mind

right now that when i'm mad at them i count to three and they freak out, you know. get inside. harper, inside now. and they keep playing. one -- and they're like oh. two, and they're inside. they're not old enough to know that when i get to four i'm not going to do anything. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah, right. they'll figure it out. >> so one of these days they're just going to stare at me. and then what do i do? five. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: keep counting till they get bored. >> yeah. they're awesome kids, though. >> jimmy: you brought a video along. >> i did. this is not -- now, listen, at another talk show i showed a video of my son gideon and it's not like -- >> jimmy: there are other talk shows? i don't know why i wasn't told about this. >> gideon -- wait. i film them and take pictures of them doing stuff. and literally two days ago we were eating at a japanese restaurant. and it's their favorite. they love sushi. love it. obsessed with sushi. gideon, tuna is his favorite food ever. >> jimmy: wow. >> they have good palates. david's also a chef as well as an actor. so from the very beginning days he was making organic corn with curry and peas with mint and he was into them having a good palate.

so we wanted to -- we love sushi and we thought that's great, pure protein, fantastic. so i filmed him. he's like voracious. it's like a "survivor" challenge watching him eat this sushi. so you have to check this clip out. >> hi. this is neil. i just want to show you what it's like to watch gideon eat tuna. here's the tuna.

just a ton of fun right now. you can feel it in the crowd and feel it in the -- >> jimmy: does it make it more fun to play when the crowd is behind you like that? >> oh, yeah. it's awesome. 56,000, that place is packed, it's so much fun. >> jimmy: and you're 25 years old, right? >> i am. yeah. >> jimmy: wow. and you got called up, what, when you were 20? >> i did, yeah. >> jimmy: what was that like? were you terrified? >> yeah. for sure. >> jimmy: i would think so. were they nice to you? do they haze you? >> you walk into that clubhouse and see all the names on the backs of people's jerseys. some of the older guys i actually watched growing up. you see the names like jason schmidt, nomar garciaparra, these guys. you know, the first night i get there i'm pitching that day game so, i get watch the game that night before. and i reach in to -- you know, i'm sitting in my locker right there, not really paying attention, just kind of looking at everything like a -- you know, just a kid. and i reach in and i grab a jersey which i think is mine, no big deal, and i go out for the anthem. and lo and behold i put on jason schmidt's jersey. [ laughter ] jason, he's a huge prankster. he thinks it's hilarious. he puts on my jersey. [ laughter ]

and then we go stand on the dugout rail for the national anthem. and he tells the jumbotron guy, hey, put it on kershaw right here. i'm like oh, that's probably what they do to the new guy. so i see my face on jumbotron. then they screen right to my back and i've got this big schmidt 29 jersey on. good welcome to the big leagues moment for me for sure. >> jimmy: and now you're wearing your own clothes. >> i am. >> jimmy: you stick to your own? you're from an accomplished family. and typically when we have an athlete on the show their family has a background in sports. yours, in astronomy. >> yes. >> jimmy: and i think this is -- what did your uncle discover? >> well, you know, jim, i'm really glad you brought this up. [ laughter ] this is something that's been just a huge problem in the kershaw tombaugh side of the family for a couple of years now. my great uncle discovered pluto. i know that sounds like a joke when it comes out. but it's true. >> jimmy: tombaugh. >> great uncle. discovered pluto. they took it away from us. it's a dwarf planet now. >> jimmy: i was against that

also. i believe that -- you learn certain things in school and you retain very little of it. but one of the most important things is you know which planets are planets. >> yes. >> jimmy: and then somebody comes and says no, it's not a planet anymore. >> yeah. what scientists just decide they get in a room one day and they go you know, we're out with pluto. how do you do that? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: your family must have been -- they must have been furious. >> up in arms. for sure. >> jimmy: did you write any letters to anyone? did you do anything about? >> it's funny. some fans have actually sent me shirts that say "pluto is still a planet in our hearts." >> jimmy: i agree with them. [ cheers and applause ] you played before -- was this while you were playing in the big leagues you played in mexico? >> no. this is actually in high school. it's part of like a u.s. aid trip. you're going to mexico, you're expecting things to be a little different than the united states. but fields now have tarps if it rains, you know, to cover the field. we get in a rain delay, it starts raining. i go it's funny they're not covering the field with a tarp, they must know something.

then you see these grounds crews guys take gasoline everywhere on the field. you go i'm not sure what's going on, maybe it's some remedy. then they light it on fire. they light the infield on fire. and you go okay, that's different. [ laughter ] it worked. it dried up the field. smelled like gasoline for the rest of the game but it worked. unbelievable. >> jimmy: is there any grass left behind? >> oh, just the infield. the dirt. the grass is soaking wet, but the infield is great. >> jimmy: wow. that is something else. i guess that's one of the differences between our nations. [ laughter ] >> i would agree, yes. >> jimmy: you're very involved in charity work. you built an orphanage in africa. >> yeah, we did. >> jimmy: that's a pretty great thing to do. [ applause ] and you're hosting a charity event coming up next month, correct? >> yeah. august 29th we're doing a ping-pong tournament. ping-pong is my second favorite sport. >> jimmy: is it? >> yeah. i love it. >> jimmy: are you good? >> well, you know, humility aside, i'm okay. i'm all right. >> jimmy: do you guys play in the clubhouse? >> yeah, spring training, that's

the only place we can play because we have a lot of free time in spring training. we get a lot of doubles tournaments going. it's a ton of fun. we're in there a lot more than practicing. that's for sure. >> jimmy: is that right? and who's the best on the team? >> i don't know. we had a lot of great tournaments. my doubles team won. people weren't happy about it. your tournament, you shouldn't win. but it happened. >> jimmy: who's your partner? >> he's a guy who's been up and down. his name is shawn tolleson. he's a relief pitcher with us. he's pretty good. >> jimmy: you've got to make sure he stays on the team. >> exactly. >> jimmy: you don't want him lit on fire down in mexico or something. >> that's true. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: so this is a tournament people can come in play in, they watch the celebrities play? >> yeah. both. they come and play if they want. it's up at the stadium on an off day and all the proceeds are going to kershaw's challenge to help with the orphanage in africa as well as some other charities in l.a. too. it will be a great time. it will be a lot of fun. >> jimmy: congratulations on a great season so far. i wish you the best. clayton kershaw, everybody. the ping-pong 4 purpose fund-raising event to benefit kershaw's challenge august 29th
