>> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live"! tonight, joaquin phoenix. from comedy central, larry wilmore. this week in unnecessary censorship. and music from frankie ballard. with cleto and the cletones. and now, i kid you not here's jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: hi, everyone. welcome to the show. thank you for watching. thank you for coming. welcome.

[ cheers and applause ] if you are here from out of town, you picked a good time to be here because it's very cold in the other half of the country right now and very, very warm and lovely here in l.a. it was like 75 degrees or something here today. [ cheers and applause ] i have to say, i'm a little jealous. at least when the roads are closed in the midwest it's because of something fun like snow. the only time roads here shut down are when parts of bruce jenner's face fall into the streets. a lot of schools were closed foopd the windchill below freezing in orlando today. those who dressed at frozen at disney world were literally frozen. a lot of people are sick, too. anybody here in our audience sick? get the hellu out -- no. the flu season is especially bad this season. chris harrison says this will be

the most dramatic flu season yet. yet the flu shot wasn't as effective as they hoped it would be. now we have an epidemic which is bad news for people but good news for drug stores. sales are up at cvs and rite aid. somewhere out there there's a walgreens executive licking door knobs. they say that going to the drug store to buy flu medicine results in a big increase in greeting card sales because it's nice to let your loved ones know you are thinking of them when you feel like throwing up. drug stores give out flu shots. i have mixed feelings. i don't feel particularly confident about getting a medical procedure done in the shadow of a five-pound bag of m&ms. ground zero for most disease is that little electronic stylus attached to the credit card swiper at the pharmacy counter.

i'm not a germ freak. i'll eat food off the floor if i drop it. why would we all touch that thing? everyone who uses it is sick. those styluses, they are calling with bacteria. they should store them in that blue liquid they have at the barber shop. some don't even use the stylus. they use their finger. you ever notice the only people still writing checks are old people which maybe that's why they are old. they are living longer because they don't touch those disgusting electronic pads. you been watching the show this week, i'm on a crusade against stores and supermarkets that give you insanely long receipts. the same stores that make you pay for a bag to carry your stuff in to save the environment are printing these enormous receipts out. someone on twitter tweeted to me, they should print them on

toilet paper so we can then take them home and use them which is smart. viewers have been tweeting photos of some of the most egregious offenders. this guy went to kroger. getting one box of thought of you. cvs done did it again. not going to lie. the $4.50 back is useful. >> doesn't need to be printed on a piece of paper longer than an anacon anaconda. this is my 42-inch stop & shop receipt. 3 1/2 feet long. this is from akamai okole. bought a pair of shoes from sears. that's weird for two reasons, by the way. here's one from -- this is from matt machua. three receipts for one cheeseburger at five guys. i think they have too many guys

is the problem. this is not just going on here in the united states. this is a tweet from spain. it says same here in barcelona. half amazon for three pizzas and discounts and cuisine course. this is from apple's reuse and recyc ling program. it's about 40 inches. which is ironic. this is from brea stone. i'm 5'6". the receipt is from my hip to the floor from cvs which seems to be the primary offender. and erica conway. school supply receipt for me and my ten siblings measured in at 11 feet. total price -- 11 feet! that's two so thanks to everyone for sending these. i'll show more next week.

we'll stay on top of this. eventually i'll lose interest and nothing will happen. today, by the way is elvis presley and north korean dictator kim jong-un's birthdays. [ applause ] who are you clapping for? elvis would have been 80 today. kim jong-un is either 32 or 33. they actually aren't sure. north korean scholars are divide an whether he was born in 1982 or '83. they agree when he entered the world a silver eagle ascended and promised 1,000 years of prosperity for his people. that should kick in any day. last year, he had dennis rodman on hand to sing to him. snrm this year a low-key celebration. spent the day at home reading sony's e-mails. paris hilton is back in the news today because she bought two new dogs for a total cost of

$25,000. for two dogs. for $25,000, those dogs had better pick up her poop for her. paris bought two pomeranian puppies from a breeder in canada. they weigh 6 and 12 ounces each. so they are rats. she bought two canadian rats for $25,000. paris posted this video on instagram today. >> oh, my god, she's so cute. >> jimmy: she's very busy. she is #sessed, #blessed, all of those things. how do you pay that much money

for a 6 ounce dog? what kind of a life -- they are so tiny. they can't even reach each other's dog butts. they are missing out. instead of legs, they have to hump toes. i'm glad to see she's investing her money wisely. on monday in arlington, texas, the oregon ducks face the ohio state buckeyes in the first ever college playoff championship game. we'll be at the game. guillermo, cousin sal and i are going to texas to name one clever fan. not sure if you are welcoming me there or happy that i'm going to be leaving here. we're going to name one clever fan lord of the poster board. what you need to do is come to the game. make a finiunny sign and add th #lotpb, lord of the poster board. i'll present the first ever golden sharpie award to whoever

makes the best one. it's an art contest and mini essay. it should be fun. fans of both of these schools are foaming at the mouth. you can imagine how much anticipation there is. tonight to get the competition going we're going to pit a student from each school against each other, via the internet in our cfp student scavenger hunt. let's meet our contestants. first off, a senior at the university of oregon coming to us live from her home in eugene. say hello to allison schwab. hello, allison. >> hi. >> you have a duck there in the back. a donald duck. i understand your duck's pride is hereditary. >> yeah, my mom went to oregon back in the day. >> jimmy: did you feel like you had to go there? >> no, i always wanted to go here. i'm a journalism student. >> jimmy: that's your major,

journalism? >> advertising, yeah. >> jimmy: oh, good. the world needs more advertising. >> of course. >> jimmy: next, your opponent representing ohio state, also a senior. say hello to tate moore. hello, tate. hey, tate. >> stay strong. >> jimmy: are those your underpants? your connection is a little shaky. >> my flags. ohio state flag gloves. >> jimmy: it looks profane. you are a big supporter of ohio state football? >> yes. >> jimmy: you figured out a way to have the football team help to pay your tuition? >> i buy student tickets every year and pair them up on craigslist. >> jimmy: you are a ticket scalper? >> absolutely. >> jimmy: you do love the team. >> for sure. >> jimmy: i heard you are getting a tattoo if they win?

>> yeah, me and five of my buddies. we are getting it on our butt if we win. >> jimmy: you going to do this all together? >> oh, yeah. >> jimmy: this is the kind of thing women don't do. so where are you chatting with us from? >> the fraternity house on campus. >> jimmy: allison, where are you? >> i'm from my own house, nonfraternity. >> jimmy: the rules are very simple. a scavenger hunt. your job is to get it or do it as quickly as you can. you cannot use help from anyone in the house. if you do use help, you'll be thrown out of the school for cheating. i'll have you arrested. round one, bring back the last thing your parents sent you, funniest item wins. last thing your parents sent you. here they go. if you have already eaten it,

throw it up. here comes allison. allison, who sent that to you, allison? >> this was the last time i was home i sent some alcohol there so she sent it back for me. she just knows we like to have fun. >> jimmy: tate, what do you have? >> my parents sent me some toilet paper for the weekend. >> jimmy: round one goes to tate. allison, you'll have to dig deep it seems like. >> you're just not relevant. >> jimmy: well, they have toilet paper. round two, come back with something you would not want your mom to know you have. extra points if you come back

with a baby. allison, what a decorative pen holder that is. >> it's a vase. >> jimmy: what a beautiful vase. tate, what do you have? >> i'm a proud member of the ohio state university condom club. >> jimmy: i'm giving that one to allison. she got a real item. we're all tied up. your final challenge, i would like you to paint your face with your school colors using whatever you have available in the house. you understand? oh, there you go. i can't legally tell them to use permanent marker, but i also can't legally tell them not to. i'm going to leave that up to them. ohio state colors. what do you have there? hot sauce. >> and here's the ranch.

>> jimmy: you know what -- we're going to have to give that to tate. i don't know where allison is. tate, congratulations. you are our winner for sure. for your efforts we're going to give you a pair of tickets to the national championship game on monday. where's allison? allison -- allison, you're a little bit slow. i guess you didn't have relish. we're also going to give you a pair of tickets to the national championship. thank you very much. thanks, kids. have fun at the game. thursday night, it's time forror weekly tribute to the fcc where we bleep and blur things whether it needs it. it's this week in "unnecessary censorship." >> officials at the london zoo

words. this is how cool jon is. he said larry, just look in the camera and just [ bleep ] to america. i did and relaxed. when i got the first laugh i'm like, i'm a comedian. i know how this goes. it went so great. funny to see the crew afterwards. who is this guy? that's not the guy from rehearsal we thought wasn't going to be here. >> jimmy: you only shine when it's primetime. >> exactly. >> jimmy: you are from southern california originally. >> lakers fan. i'm going to get that tear tattoo for my lakers. >> jimmy: it's been a tough year for the lakers. >> it's been really, really tough. i like when clipper fans try to throw that in my face. you know clipper fans who you are because they are doing all good. yeah, we beat your ass. >> jimmy: and they multiply. >> all of a sudden, they exist. i'm not mad at the clippers. you might get out of the second
