ducis rodgers and the entire "action news" team, i'm jim gardner, good night, have a >> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live"! tonight -- curtis "50 cent" jackson. jenny slate. the national spelling bee champs. and music from one republic with cleto and the cletones and now, look at this, here's jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: hi, everyone! welcome to the show. thank you for watching. thank you for joining me here on this night of basketball. earlier tonight here on abc the

san antonio spurs hosted the miami heat in game one of the nba final series. and the ratings were so good, they've already announced plans for a game two. that will be fun. could be as early as sunday they're saying. most people seem to want the spurs to win. unless you live in miami rooting for the heat is like rooting for cobra over the karate kid. san antonio is heat hater central, there is a weatherman, on the local fox station in san antonio. his name is sean stevens. since it has been very warm there, sean found a we to work a heat reference into almost every one of his weather reports this week. what you are about to see is just a taste of this. if we showed them all, we would have to bump "good morning america" tomorrow. so, take a look. >> a great time of year, the spurs in the final and the heat is kicking in. of course, it is july, the heat is kicking in. not the miami heat. the texas heat. traditional texas heat.

the miami heat. show you which one will be hotter. hopefully the texas heat. the texas heat will be here in full force, hopefully not the miami heat, full force. the good heat this week, texas heat. not necessarily the miami heat. >> speaking of heat. that's what it is like outside right now. >> we'll all be battling the heat this week. most of us, just the texas heat that we will be dealing with. >> cupcakes in a minute. first we'll talk about the heat, not the miami heat, the heat-heat. >> the heat, stick around. miami heat is going to be here. >> i think he nailed it the eighth time. i think that was the one. that's known as meta-forcing it down your throat. donald sterling seems to have come to grips with the fact that he's selling the clippers even if he doesn't want to. yesterday he dropped his billion dollar lawsuit against the nba and approved the $2 billion sale of the team. let that be a lesson, that's the united states of america, if we catch you being racist, we will not stop until you are $2 billion richer than you were. really. you got that? [ cheers and applause ]

sterling's lawyer said his real concern is his reputation. he said, i quote, donald sterling doesn't want to have to die and have his tombstone here lies a mental incompetent and racist. i'll tell you what, die first. we'll sort the tombstone thing out later. we don't have to settle on that now. a big week for the residents of the staple center. stanley cup finals under way. it started with a great game last night. kings came back from two goals down to beat the rangers, 3-2 in overtime. a very exciting time to be a los angeles sports fan. more people are pretending to care about hockey this week than ever. but, as is the case during a big championship like this, our elected officials make bets with each other. california governor jerry brown and the governor of new york andrew cuomo made what might be the worst bet ever. if the kings beat the rangers, cuomo will send governor brown a gift basket containing sausage,

wing sauce, maple syrup, apples, oysters and wine. a gift basket. and if the rangers beat the kings jerry brown has agreed to send governor cuomo, a book of california history and, pack of lightly salted organic brown rice cakes. not exactly biggy and tupac as far as feuds go. sounded like governor cuomo waited until the last minute. then just ralded his fridge. i don't know. sausage, syrup. send them over. now the stanley cup bet between the mayors of cities is more interesting. and the l.a. mayor and the new york mayor have agreed the loser will come on this show to perform a song. this is where the losers come. if the rangers come, mayor garcetti will do "new york, new york," and mayor deblazio will do "i love l.a." and it should be fun. won't be as much fun if the

maple leafs had been in it and mayor of toronto came to do a song. but, fun nonetheless. i think you will enjoy the show we have plan ford you tonight. we have music from onerepublic. the very funny jenny slate is here. and curtis jackson, better known as 50 cent is with us too. [ cheers and applause ] he has so many gifts. he is a multitalented rapper, actor, producer, there is really nothing this man can't do. okay. besides throw a baseball. other than that, that's why you should never throw out the first pitch ever. in other embarrassing sports news, have you seen the video of president obama working out? the president was staying at a marriott in warsaw, in poland tuesday. and he want to work out at the hotel gym. which, i, was surprising to me.

hotel gyms exist? i mean, i always see the signs in the elevator, but i thought that was a joke. but any way, secret service didn't close the gym down. the president went in and started exercising with everyone else. and someone shot video of him doing it. there he is. that's how i dance at weddings by the way. [ cheers and applause ] congress today accused the president of being soft on cardio. there has been a surprising amount of criticism. the secret service criticized for not seeing that someone was videotaping. fitness experts have been criticizing the president's form. true. he is even taking it on the chin from foreign leaders. >> tired of wimpy workouts that leave you scrawny like little twig crushed beneath the paws of the big bear. it's time to putinsize.

the workout that will make you strong like iron railroad track. lifting tiny weights makes you weak like woman. putin size lets you take off your shirt, show pectorals, before/after. before/after. before/after! get strong like rock. not weak like barack. putincize now. do it! >> announcer: available at walgreen's. >> jimmy: you know if you have been following the high octane world of competitive spelling, you know there is a big shake-up at scripps national spelling bee last week. for the first time in 52 years they had two winners. 13-year-old anson sujo, and 14-year-old sriram hathwar. they kept spelling words until they ran out of words. they spelled all the words correctly. they said, oh, well, you're

co-winners. what the hell happened to this country? in my day if we ran out of words we would make those kids fight to the death. i was raised in the 12th century. things were different then. any way, every year i invite the winner to come and compete against me in a spelling competition. i too was a spelling champion. but this year, i had to invite two of them, and we are going to bring them out now. please welcome this year's scripps spelling bee champions, kath kath ever sriram hathwar and ansun sujoe.

[ laughter ] all right, maybe they're not that bright. you are young is what it is. we have a competition every year, never competed against two winners before. so this might be a little more difficult for me. you are going to be competing as one contestant. do you understand? >> yes. >> uh-huh. >> jimmy: join arms or do whatever siamese twins would do. the judge tonight is my cousin sal.

[ 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. 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. [ terri ] since adding abilify, i feel better. abilify and my antidepressant make a pretty good team.

>> those are the genes that are strong. >> jimmy: were you a joker when you were a kid? >> i think the jokers in class are like the confident ones. i was like the middle sister, two sisters, the middle of a group of sisters raised by two art farts. >> jimmy: your parents. >> can i say -- you can say fart >> jimmy: of course you can say it, i'm doing it. >> sorry. terrible manners. >> jimmy: your parents, well your parents were art farts, what are you going to do? >> first time on your show. and i'm saying fart. a good thing i have a nice hair style. >> jimmy: it wouldn't be the first time. what did your parents do for a living? >> my dad is a poet. and my mom is a potter. >> jimmy: oh, wow, yeah. yeah. >> you know, really -- those are real -- yeah. >> jimmy: they made a living from that?

>> those are the jobs that they chose for jobs, which is funny. yeah, my, well my dad for a while he had -- he worked in the corporate field. he worked for a computer company called wang? >> jimmy: i remember that. >> for years in my childhood, my dad slept in a nightgown because he's sensitive and brave. >> jimmy: he really did? >> he vent -- slept in a nightgown. it was salmon colored. >> jimmy: what? >> it was a gift from wang, i guess and it said wang on it. i would be at school, like when your dad wakes up grumpy in the night he spilled essential oils on his wang shirt. everybody would be like, we are not friends with you. >> jimmy: wow, wow, your mom was attracted to him, huh? >> yeah, yeah, they're like those dancing in the kitchen, slapping each other's butts.

>> jimmy: does your mom sell her pottery? or work for a company? >> no, she worked for herself. my mom is a raku potter, that means part of the process is that you wrap the pottery in paper and set it on fire in a can. that's what she did. there is probably a raku potter out there, who is like, incorrect! no, you don't. but, yeah, she set the woods around the giant haunted house that we lived in, another story for another day. she set the woods on fire like three times. >> jimmy: three times? >> like a lot. >> jimmy: what? >> a lot of fires in my childhood. my dad was like, nancy we were going to build you a pottery studio in the attic. he almost immediately -- they look took off the roof of our house and started to put it back on. then my dad accused the contractor of stealing the knobs off our barbecue grill.

and stealing a bag of his medicine. it was like maybe you used your medicine, dad, and did something weird with the grill knobs. >> jimmy: hard to keep track of knobs in that condition. >> totally. i lost all my knobs. i don't have a knob in my house. so the contractor was hike, you guys are the worst. he left. then we had a big hole in the roof of our house. all the bats from the woods flew in. it's like, terrifying. and i don't know, like if you have ever, to wake up with a bat just -- it's so scary. and my dad would come out, because my sisters would be, oh, bats. my dad would come out with a tennis racket. great gatsby style like, is that a net? or like a clock? what is that? and he would swat, be in his wang gown, and just swat the bats against the hallway of our house.

and his wang gown got splattered in bat blood. >> jimmy: oh, my god. >> yeah, yeah. that's when we lost it. >> jimmy: can i say you are lucky to be alive. and i am not kidding. you are honestly. a miracle you made it this far. >> thank you. >> jimmy: jenny slate! e we'll be right back with onerepublic.
