>> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live!" tonight, seth macfarlane, brian grazer, and music from halsey. with cleto and the cletones. and now, here's jimmy kimmel! ♪ [cheers and applause] ♪ >> jimmy: hi, everyone!
11:36 pm
i'm jimmy, i'm the host of the show. [cheers and applause] thanks for coming. i'm glad, i am in a particularly good mood myself tonight. i have a new toilet. i got one of those toilets that, when you walk into the bathroom, the seat does this, you know, it's the all hail the bathroom lord. have you seen these? you know you come home from work and your dog is so excited to see you? it's a very similar feeling you get from my toilet when you walk in in the middle of the night. and there's all sorts of buttons, a heater for the seat, a control for the water pressure. a button, you press a button on the thing and it will call you a uber. it will pull up right next to you. that's why i have a little -- [cheers and applause] we might have a new major
11:37 pm
candidate for president to work in the mix. a spokesman for the white house yesterday said vice president joe biden has received president obama's blessing to run if he decides to do that. not that he necessarily needs it, but biden hasn't made a decision yet, but he plans to as soon as amazon delivers the magic eight ball he ordered. he ran for president two times before, in 1988 and in 2008. there was a time, i have to say, when it seemed unimaginable that joe biden could ever be taken seriously enough to win his party's nomination, but donald trump just blew that idea right out the window, and now, anyone -- [ applause ] donald trump, i was just watching him in my office upstairs, and he is, i might have to vote for him. i really might. i mean, i'm sorry, guillermo. no offense to you. >> no problem. >> jimmy: meanwhile, jeb bush
11:38 pm
who's found himself in an unexpected spot trailing donald trump, a lot of people are upset because he used the term anchor babies to describe children born of illegal immigrants, they come so the baby will be born a u.s. citizens, it's a derogatory. calling a child an anchor baby is almost as derogatory as calling a child jeb. but he was in mcallen, texas, defending himself, reminding everyone that his wife is mexican. you don't mention that your wife is mexican as much as jeb bush. >> no. >> jimmy: and he fielded questions in espaniol. [ speaking spanish ]
11:39 pm
>> anchor babies. >> jimmy: i guess there's no translation for that. so jeb goes on to say this whole anchor baby thing. he says frankly, it's more related to asian people coming into our country to have children. and today his spokesman had to try to clear that one up, too. >> guys, real quick, before i take questions, i just want to make it absolutely clear that jeb bush deeply respects hispanic americans. he did not mean to refer to the children of hispanic immigrants as anchor babies. he was clearly talking about the asian ones. hold on, no, hold on. what i, i just, let me clarify that jeb bush has nothing but respect for asians. in fact, he always says that he eats so much chinese takeout,
11:40 pm
he's practically jewish. >> a quick clairefication. jeb has the greatest respect for jewish people. the greatest respect and any indication to the contrary would be totally gay. correction, correction. >> jimmy: that went on for like three hours. i don't know. see, i don't know what the big deal is. i have a 1-year-old daughter at home. ever since she was born we can't go to dinner. we can't go to the movies. we're lucky if she lets us walk around in the buff. as far as i'm concerned, all babies are anchor babies. this happened in taipei, a 12 year old boy was walking through the museum. he had a drink in his hand. he stumbled, his monster energy drink broke his fall, but he punched a hole in a painting that is worth more than $1 million, which is one way to make sure your parents never take you to a museum again.
11:41 pm
the painting is actually worth $1.5 million. and now it has a big hole in it. this is the painting. you see one of the great master works has been ruined. this is why we shouldn't expose children to the arts. i've said it time and time again. meanwhile, in osaka, japan a different exhibit attracted the attention of children there. this one is called toilet, human waste and earth's future. i guess the idea with this is to educate kids on -- i don't know what exactly -- but oh, that looks like fun! a toilet slide. you can flush yourself down it. [ applause ] an adorable little hats, too. dressing a child like poop is very good for their self-esteem.
11:42 pm

11:44 pm
all, because he's never ran any office. >> in light of the recent stock market crash, do you support donald trump's plan to build a wall around wiz khalifa in direct opposition to the iranian deal. >> you say wiz khalifa? yeah, i support that. >> you support building a wall around him. >> around wiz khalifa? >> you talkin' about when he's walking? >> yes. >> he got money, he can do that. >> jimmy: we have to take a break. when we come back, there's a new most-followed person on instagram, which is exciting. a lot of people are losing money in the stock market, and starbucks wants to help them, and we'll be right back to point the finger of shame. so stick around. we'll be right back. abc's jimmy kimmel live,

♪ ♪ >> jimmy: kim kardashian is now the most-followed person on instagram. [cheers and applause] i thought you'd be more excited about that. it's just going to show you, kids, if you set your mind to something and really zero in on a goal you can accomplish something that is almost completely meaningless. you really can. kim has, now, 44.2 million followers. she just passed beyonce who has a paltry 44 million followers, which is embarrassing, really. apparently, she passed beyonce by posting more photos and longer captions. i do understand why kim's instagram account is so popular.
11:50 pm
it is the number one place for closeup pictures of kim kardashian making faces like this one. you will not get that anywhere else congratulations to kim. congratulations with a k, in fact. social media is something we've shown can be a good thing. but we have the finger of shame. and our viewers have been diligent about capturing obnoxious behavior they've seen in public and posting it to facebook or instagram with t the #finger of shame. from realistic this is guillermo
11:51 pm
on the back of a garbage truck. i know this is not a real sale. originally $39.99. okay. that's a discount of zero percent. oh, you've got pregnancy tests and children's books together. parenthood gets real in this aisle, apparently, finger of shame. this is from steven escobito, isis-type gin. this is time for a new pizza, isis pizza. the only bookstore left in america, and it's named isis. and by far, the most common theme that we've received more of these types of photos than we
11:52 pm
have any idea what to do with. these are photographs of people's butt cracks. this is from april horton. the finger of shame. there you go. wait for the next available agent. the next one is from peppernuts 1. he says here's some ft. meyers finger of shame. and hey, jimmy, bad when the tide is in, and, worse when the tide is out. finger of shame. so there you are. thanks to everyone for pointing and pasting. if you see something shameful happening in public, point a finger, take a picture and post to our instagram with the finger of shame. together -- nothing will happen, but we'll have a lot of fun doing it. i don't know how many of you are involved in the stock market or know about it, but the dow is down again today by 204 points. yesterday it was down 588
11:53 pm
points. it was the eighth-worst single day loss in history. it dropped faster than subway dropped jared. but according to bloomburg news, the world's 400 richest people lost $124 billion yesterday. bill gates alone, lost $3.2 billion on the stock market yesterday. to put that in perspective, that's like a regular person losing a dollar in a vending machine. all this turmoil is related to the economic slow down in china. every time something like this happens, i look more and more like a genius for investing all my money in precious moments figurines. they laughed at me then, no one's laughing at me now. the ceo of starbucks sent the message to starbucks employees yesterday, instructing them to be sensitive to customers who might be feeling stressed out
11:54 pm
about the market. i like that the place charges $5 for a cup of coffee is concerned about our finances. but dealing with anxious customers isn't an easy thing to do. so today starbucks corporate sent a video to help baristas. >> the stock market's recent down turn has had an impact on many people, and many are starbucks patrons. more than ever, we must be sensitive to our customers' needs. your mission remains the same. you should always be prepared to, one, serve quality coffee. two, provide excellent service, and three, let rich people scream at you. relentlessly. whether you spell their name wrong or didn't leave enough room for cream, it's your job to be a human punching bag. that's it. starbucks. they asked for two pumps of hazelnut, not three, you

amazon. somebody says, you're just stuck out here, but weirdly, that night, there's going to be, like, it's called the rumble in the jungle. it was an illegal fight that was going on between a bunch of extreme boxers that would break each other's bodies and stuff. but it started at 12:00 at night. so we decided we're guys, doing a guy trip. we should just drink until 12:00. so we drank these brazilian drinks, a lot of rum, some sugar, a little lime. drinking the drinks. we get into this tent, like 100 people, mostly locals, and it's now 12:00. literally, you could hear collarbones breaking, and it was so hard core. and i'm thinking, i'm kind of drunk, like with my other guys. why don't i -- i have to pee. so i, it's now 3:00. i go outside, looking for a
12:26 am
bathroom to pee. there's literally just a bush. start to pee in the bush, and a guy comes over, and he starts pitchin' me a movie! [ laughter ] i'm thinking, wow, this is crazy. he starts pitchin' me this movie. and then i just kind of blow him off a little bit. and then i get back in there, we all do the fight. we wake up in the morning. i never thought about it ever again. then what happens is, flash forward one decade forward. i'm told by a bunch of friends that i'm in, like, you know, the post, and i'm in the hollywood reporter and tmz, a bunch of publications right now because there's a movie that was made based on that pitch that the guy that pitched it to me that i totally forgot turned it into a movie called "foxcatcher" starring channing tatum, like a
12:27 am
real movie. that was weird, that the guy who trapped me while i was peeing -- >> jimmy: people should not pitch you while you're urinating. >> it happened once, but that was in the amazon. i have had a couple others. >> jimmy: you are a curious person. and when you're curious about somebody, somebody seems interesting to you, you'll contact them and have a chat, yes? >> yes. >> jimmy: some of the people you've done this with are who? >> i've done it with hundreds of beautiful laureates. john nash which turned into "a beautiful mind." i met with michael jackson, that would be as close to show business. several presidents, different security officers in every type of organization in the world, you know. >> jimmy: you think that these lessons that you've learned or whatever you want to call them, these conversations that you've had, have then helped you in your job in a specific way? >> well, they have, actually.
12:28 am
they not intended to. they're just pure conversations that were just two people don't have an agenda. there's no ask on either side. they're in this book. and there's the methodologies in the book. but there was one conversation that i had with -- well, basically what happened is, i produced "how the grinch stole christmas". but i had to audition for audrey, the widow of dr. seuss. i am trying to get the rights to do this. she grants me the rights based on my audition. i fly to lahoya to do this. she says jim krar ecarey. and i'm watching jim krcarey be uncomfortable having these prosthetics welded to his body
12:29 am
and these green frisbee-like contact lenses. he's so unhappy. he's been paid $20 million to do this movie, then he says, i can't do this any longer, and i'm going to give all the money back. i can't do it. i'm -- this is torturous to me. it occurred to me when he said torturous that i'd met a man 15 years before that that actually trained green pberets and other operatives how to survive torture if they're being tortured. i said please give us the weekend. just meet this one man. i call the guy,'s in virginia. and i get ahold of him. i say, please, will you spend a weekend with jim carey, i paid him of course. and on monday, jim carey said i'll do the movie. >> jimmy: wow. >> that's a totally true story, and audrey geisel couldn't have been more pleased.
12:30 am
>> jimmy: so the answer to get through torture is to be paid $20 million, really.
