"this year in unnecessary censorship." and music from jenny lewis. with cleto and the cletones. and now, to be on the safe side, here's jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: hi, i'm jimmy. i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. thanks to all of you for coming. happy holidays to everyone. you like my look? [ cheers and applause ]

i bought this at the men's y-house. i saw this online, i ordered it, it came in a box. i never got a suit in a book before. this is like the franzia of suits. i got one for guillermo, too. [ cheers and applause ] you actually look like -- you look like a mexican politician. >> guillermo: i do? i like it. i feel very sexy. >> jimmy: you look very sexy. you really do. we look like at the christmas aisle at cvs. when the suits came it said 100% polyester and 200% amazing. i definitely agree with the polyester part of it. christmas, only one week from tonight. which means you better start practicing your "oh my god i love it" face. do people hang mistletoe in their house? i feel mistletoe what is we had

before tinder. now we don't need it. 2,000 years ago, a holy child was born. they made him holy because without holes he couldn't breathe or eat. christmas is a strange holiday. if you think about it. it's jesus' birthday. i didn't get him anything. i got you an ipad. nobody knows jesus' exact birthday because he refuses to sign up for facebook. we celebrate, it's the third night of hannukah, which means the jewish kids are already three presents up on the gentile kids. but we'll catch up to them. we're like the tom brady of the present-getters. we rally with -- >> hi, everybody, happy hannukah! [ cheers and applause ] >> hi jimmy. >> jimmy: hello. who are you? >> i'm the hanukkorn.

the hanukkah unicorn. ready for the hanukkah cheer? special time of year. it's night number three as you can see, by my horn candles. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: oh, yeah, i can see, yes. i've never heard of the hanukorn before. >> some people call me the jewacorn. i know many jewish people no one mentioned the hanukorn. >> interesting. i know many jewish people and none of them have mentioned the hanukkah unicorn. it's never been mentioned once. >> that's bizarre. i'm sure your audience members know about the hanukkah unicorn, right, people? [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: i'm sorry. this is gary greenburg, one of our writers on the show, he's desperately been trying to get more hanukkah material into the show so he's created this fake character, the hannukorn, which is not real. >> it is a real thing.

how do you explain the popularity of my classic song? hit it challenge ♪ ♪ hannukorn everyone spread the news ♪ ♪ ho ho ho ha ha ha yay you ♪ hannukorn >> jimmy: it's a terrible song set to "jingle bells." you ripped off "jingle bells." >> i didn't rip off this. ladies and gentlemen, i bring to you -- >> jimmy: wow. a dreidel dog. ♪ [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: well, there you go. hannukorn and dreidel dog. [ cheers and applause ]

do you have anything like that in mexico, guillermo? >> guillermo: no, no way. >> jimmy: in mexico they spell hanukkah with a lot of js. how many are you visiting for the holidays tonight? [ cheers and applause ] the only thing more special than shopping for the holidays is traveling. they say this will be the busiest holiday travel season ever. an estimated 99 million americans will travel more than 50 miles to be with their families for christmas. imagine how far we would go to see people we like. more than 9 out of 10 travelers will be driving partly because of the price of gas. gas is cheaper than it has been for five years and makes a great stocking stuffer by the way if you're looking for something. it's always a little odd going home for the holidays you realize things like, your parents have had the same weird bow of dried potpourri since you were in high school. carpeting on the bathroom floor. the toilet seats are cushioned. you find out your mother converted your childhood bedroom into a meth lab.

or is that just me? you know, the other thing about visiting your parents is they cannot wait for you to wake up. the worst thing you can do to your parents is sleep late when you're visiting them. for two reasons. number one, they don't like the idea they raised a kid who sleeps till noon. number two, they have nothing left to say to each other. they want you to get up and talk to them. they can't wait. there's really some kind of comment when you wake up. "we assumed you were dead." really? you assumed your son was dead, your response was to keep eating oatmeal? this is strange. in catalonia, spain, they have a holiday tradition involving a character called tea de nadal. teo is a pooping christmas log. they put a log in the fireplace and order it to poop, for real. to make it log poop they beat it with sticks. that's some serious potty training right there. this is what they do, this is

true. in the weeks leading up to christmas they give it a lot to eat, on christmas day the children hit it with sticks and go to another room to pray. while they're praying the parents leave candies and nuts under a blanket then tell them the log pooped them out. like the world's worst pinata in a way. how did this tradition come to be? they have a log that bpoops out gifts? why would it want to give you presents after that? if somebody did that to me i would call the police on them tonight. other countries are weird, guys. try to steer clear of them. we have a very good show tonight. the man, the myth, the incredible mel brooks is here with us tonight. [ cheers and applause ] a great way to wrap up the year. this week, we started with garth brooks and we finish it out with mel. not too many people know this. mel, his first name is short for melted butter. his given name is melted butter brooks.

seems fitting that mel brooks is here tonight given all that's been going on with sony pictures and the movie "the interview." in the '60s, mel directed a satire about a dictator called "the producers." but he had the good sense to do it after hitler was dead. by the way, do you know "star wars episode 7" comes out exactly one year from today. as long as we don't get threats from darth vader. although i hear the portrayal of the dark side is very fair. now, i like to take a moment if you'll allow me to thank some of the unsung heroes who work on our show. on our staff we have four guys who watch tv all day and night. they're watching tv and looking at the internet, looking for funny and strange moments for us to see. their names are jake, joe, jesse, anthony. they're very pale, they look like naked mole rats, in terrible condition. at the end of the each year, just before they die, they go through all of the great clips that we find. we select the best of the best. and with that said, it's time to

present the nominees for "clip of the year 2014." [ cheers and applause ] and the nominees are -- for "clip of the year" here's ronny. >> you know, that is -- what the hell's going on over there? hey, ron. >> hey, billy. >> stop and drink the roses. >> -- followed her victory speech, she asked her and her supporters to say a prayer for gina roberson who is hospitalized for stressful illness. she says they'll remain friends and work together in this harrisburg community. working for you today in harrisburg, abc 27 news.

last night. we're doing the press for "into the woods." and it's great and we all adore each other and it's great to see each other. he said baranski, have you spreading stories about us closing joints? jimmy kimmel made it sound like we were doing heroin in picadilly. >> jimmy: yes, she challenged your account of the evening. >> the three of us adore each other so we wanted a nice dinner but we were filming the next day. we said, let's have a really early dinner, 6:00. as we're approaching the restaurant meryl streep and i got a text message saying, the shoot has been canceled, you have the day off. we began dinner at 6:00 and the waiters were waiting for us to leave at about 1:00. >> jimmy: oh, really? >> that doesn't mean we rolled out drunk. we just had a great time. >> jimmy: that does sound like a lot of fun. >> women, like the three of us really dig each other, and it was great to be in a musical together. >> jimmy: you were in "mamma

mia" with meryl streep -- >> we had fun on that one too. >> jimmy: did you? she's a lot of fun? >> yes. actresses talk about her like she's so intimidating. >> jimmy: i'm surprised how completely down to earth she is. >> goofy, funny, great listener. >> jimmy: violent. >> she's violent? >> jimmy: i thought i'd throw that in there. see if anybody went for it and i guess you did. >> she's scary in this movie. have you seen this movie? >> jimmy: i haven't. >> she's awesome. >> jimmy: she's a very good actor but i haven't seen any of her films. [ laughter ] >> my favorite, there was a comment yesterday from somebody, a kid, saw a screening and he said, my son actually said, oh, those are the two ladies from "mamma mia." imagine that that's their only sense of meryl streep, one of the two ladies in "mamma mia." >> jimmy: that's how it goes, right? that is how it goes. meryl streep told us her house is haunted. have you been to her haunted house?

>> she and i both have houses in connecticut and i also have lived in a haunted house. >> jimmy: you have? >> my husband grew up in an 18th century connecticut farmhouse. he inherited the house. that's where we raised our kids. in this little rural town. and there is a well-known ghost named barefoot charlie in the house. and he's not malevolent. but yeah, and his tombstone -- >> jimmy: how do you know his name, does he get mail? [ laughter ] >> he was named barefoot charlie -- that's an interesting question. i don't know. but he definitely makes mischief. my husband said when he was a little boy, he heard a piano being played downstairs. and his brother and he were the only people upstairs, there's nobody in the house. a piano was playing. i only know of this ghost because it's a mischievous ghost who like takes things. if you buy a new hammer, pair of scissors, where is it? it's gone. >> jimmy: guys doing construction at my house also do

that too. tape measures, immediately they disappear. maybe i'm haunted also, i don't know what's going on. "into the woods" is a group of -- >> all of these different fairy-tale characters. you have had emily on and tracey on. it's a phenomenal movie, rob marshall has done a great job of directing it. and it's all that great steven sondheim music. johnny depp is the wolf. meryl is the witch. emily is the baker's wife. james corden is the baker. and tracey is jack's mom. >> jimmy: jack from jack in the bean >> it's a delicious movie. >> jimmy: you play which character? >> i play cinderella's evil stepmom. somebody has to do it. bad attitude, great clothes. it's kind of what i do. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: when you play a role like that do you base it on instances where you've seen the musical before? >> no, i never do that.

i bet most actors try not to look at other people's work and base it on that. you base it on a lot of amalgam of different influences. rob and i talked about how this particular stepfamily, their hair is too big, too blonde, everything's a little much. if they were in contemporary life, they would want their own reality show. or have their own reality show. >> jimmy: i see. >> you know where i'm going? >> jimmy: kardashian-esque? >> i didn't say it. >> jimmy: yes. interesting. i think they'll be delighted by that. wow, all right. you're saying it's like a sex thing? >> no. >> jimmy: oh, you did not say that, maybe i said that. >> can't get enough attention thing. >> jimmy: very good to see. >> thank you. >> jimmy: have a terrific holiday.
