tv Jimmy Kimmel Live ABC April 7, 2017 11:35pm-12:37am EDT
11:35 pm
>> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live!" tonight, shaquille o'neal. from "legion," noah hawley. and music from mondo cozmo. and now, heads up, here's jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: hi there, thank you very much. hi, everybody, i'm jimmy, i'm the host. thank you for watching. thank you for coming. we have a big and tall show for you tonight. maybe you felt the ground shaking tonight. that's because the great and powerful shaquille o'neal is with us. [ cheers and applause ] the genie from "kazaam" is here to grant us three wishes. i wish i had a fresh new brick of post-it notes.
11:36 pm
wait a minute. amazing! [ cheers and applause ] you know, the last time shaq was here, i surprised him. the lakers let me tell him on the air, that they were putting a statue of him up at the staples center. at first he didn't believe me. he thought it was a prank. i have a credibility problem. but that's the statue. they're installing it, in the rain they were installing it. this is also to get shaq off the couch when he falls asleep watching tv. it's nine feet tall, it weighs 1,200 pounds, actual size and weight. [ laughter ] you know, last week shaq was all over the news for saying he doesn't believe the earth is round, he believes the earth is flat, and if he's wrong he'll jump up and down a few times and make it flat. he will be here, we'll talk about all that stuff. but on capitol hill today, one of the most dramatic episodes of the celebrity president yet, after working late into the night to get a new health care
11:37 pm
plan approved, republicans in the house were forced to postpone their vote today because they cannot agree on what the plan should be. so it's back to the drawing board. unfortunately, trump's budget for education cut funding for drawing boards, so there's no board for them to draw on. [ laughter and applause ] this was a major blow to the president who badly needs a win right now, but he was able to let off some steam today, literally. he had a meeting with some truckers today. the guy told him to honk if he's horny, and he's like, melania doesn't even live in my house anymore, so -- [ cheers and applause ] but it was a blow. because the president went all out for this bill, but hard-line republicans hated it because it offered too many benefits. moderate republicans hated it because it cut too many benefits. hospitals hate it because they stand to lose money. insurance companies hate it because it can blow up the market, and voters hated it. by a margin of 56% to 17%. basically the only people who were okay with the plan were
11:38 pm
donald trump, paul ryan, and chuck berry. [ laughter ] i just want to tell you something. i happen to know that chuck would have loved that joke, may he rest in peace. [ laughter and applause ] these congressmen are nervous because the budget office warned that trumpcare could result in 24 million people becoming uninsured. trump says the numbers were cooked up by the microwave that's been spying on him at trump tower. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] there's a lot of talk about the health care bill and the details of it, but let's be honest, unless the bill was hot glued to the back of a victoria's secret catalog, there's no way donald trump read that thing. i mean, come on. the president gave a rollicking interview with "time" magazine yesterday. he said a bunch of stuff. he said he's right about everything. his instincts are always right. he doubled down on his claim that obama wiretapped him. he bragged about how many covers of "time" magazine he's been on,
11:39 pm
and the best part of the interview. and at the end, he told the reporter who was interviewing him, he said, i think i'm doing okay, because i'm president and you're not. [ laughter ] let's check back in a week or two and see if that's still the case. but you wonder -- [ cheers and applause ] i mean, who says that? i wonder how many times a day he says that? we're ordering buckets from kfc today because i'm president and you're not. but it is important to know who is president and who is not. so let's go through it real quickly. president. not. not. not. president. not. president. not yet. [ laughter and applause ] where he has been hiding, by the way? mike pence, he's up in a cabin somewhere rubbing his hands together waiting for all the
11:40 pm
russia stuff to come out. one thing i've learned about president trump over the last 2 1/2 months is that he's more of a mover than a shaker. and i have to credit one of our tv watchers, a gentleman named anthony, for noticing this. i don't know what this indicates. when donald trump is in a meeting, he has a tendency to move stuff. watch. >> thank you all very much for being here. we had a couple of great meetings this morning. the airline industry -- >> i would have saved that. >> thank you all very much. >> general motors. >> general counsel and public policy. >> thank you. >> nice to see you. >> the person in charge of their health care decisions that lower costs for families -- >> that was a head fake right there.
11:41 pm
[ laughter and applause ] >> jimmy: shaq would appreciate that. well, all i have to say is i hope the new health care plan covers ocd, because president trump has been moving around so much the secret service can't afford to keep up with him. according to "the washington post," the secret service has requested an additional $60 million to cover the cost of protecting trump and his family when they travel. those weekends at mar-a-lago cost taxpayers $3 million a pop. it might be time for trump to put a travel ban on himself. because that's a lot. [ cheers and applause ] we focus a lot on donald trump's tweets, but he's not the only star of the political world making a splash on twitter. mike huckabee, the former governor of arkansas, has been showing off his sense of humor on twitter a lot. every day he writes jokes. here are some of his jokes. these are real jokes. don't miss it, rachel maddow will reveal who shot j.r. ewing on the series "dallas." sure it was the '80s but it's
11:42 pm
rachel maddow. tom brady's jersey found. cops coming to my hotel room to pick it up. dang! the man is basically mark twain in a pair of harbor bay relaxed pants. he's hilarious. but like a lot of great comedy voices, not everyone gets it. some have been posting tweets criticizing his joke-writing. he replied, i tweet for my amusement and your amazement, to haters, trolls, and humorless people, you really shouldn't follow me, it's way over your head. maybe he's right. maybe it is over our heads, maybe these jokes are great. he's a funny guy. look at this family christmas card. you know, you don't wear a shirt like this without wanting to make people laugh. so maybe what mike huckabee needs is a stronger presentation. jokes don't always have the same punch when you read them to yourself. so tonight we asked not just a professional comedian, a great comedian, to do some of mike huckab huckabee's twitter jokes, to bring them to life on the stage.
11:43 pm
that said, please welcome patton oswald, everyone! [ cheers and applause ] >> thank you, guys. thank you. thank you so much. thank you. wow, wow. thank you. boy, have you guys been watching the news lately? it's crazy. speaking of the news, breaking news, jimmy dean sausage company will be renamed gorsuch sausage, because he's grinding up some democrat senators into pure pork sausage. traveling's weird. [ laughter ] boy, i was in norway last week, only english-speaking tv i get in norway is bbc. oh, my. it stands for biased boring crap, more effective than ambien as sleep inducer.

11:45 pm

[ cheers and applause ] we'll take a break. when we come back, we'll give college students a chance to win money if they can tell us who is on that money. it's dumb and fun, so stick around, we'll be right back.

tonight on the show, music from mondo cozmo, noah hawley is here. but first, it's spring break time. in the united states of america and means thousands if not millions of college students are out on vacation for the week. tonight we'll give some of them a chance to win cash. to buy god knows what with. time to play a special college edition of "on the money." let's go out to the streets of hollywood, where my cousin sal is standing by with our first contestant. i was going to ask your name. but i see it there. what's your name, cousin sal? >> my name is justine. >> jimmy: where are you from? >> dana point, california. >> jimmy: from down south, you go to ucla. what is your major at ucla? >> sociology. >> jimmy: how far along are you? >> i'm a junior. three years in. >> jimmy: will you graduate on time? >> as of now. >> jimmy: do you have a job or do you go to school full time? >> i do. i work at the front desk of a hotel. >> jimmy: do you ever experience hookers there at the front desk? >> i have, before. >> jimmy: oh, you have. >> yeah. >> jimmy: and how does that work?
11:51 pm
do you send them up? do you have to call the room? >> usually they know where they're going. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: they know where they're going. do they have to get a key to get into the room? i could go the whole segment on this, by the way. >> i'm not allowed to give a key to -- >> sal: listen to jimmy playing dumb over there. >> jimmy: all right, here's how the game works. we'll start with the lowest possible denomination of cash. if you get that right, you can continue on and risk what you've won to go to the next highest level. you know what i'm saying? we'll explain it here. we'll begin with the penny. cousin sal, you have a penny? >> i do. >> jimmy: don't look at the penny, justine. whose face is on the penny? >> abraham lincoln. >> jimmy: that is correct. all right. you win a penny. now you have a decision to make. do you want to keep that penny? or do you want to go for six cents? do you want to go for a nickel? >> i want to go for a nickel. >> jimmy: she's going to go for the nickel! [ cheers and applause ]
11:52 pm
she's going to go for the nickel. >> sal: whoa! >> jimmy: all right, justine. who is on the nickel? >> uh, god, um -- >> jimmy: this is where it gets tough. >> this is -- >> jimmy: i'll give you a hint. he's a president. >> great, okay. >> jimmy: you have to take a guess, justine. >> george washington. >> jimmy: no, no. i'm so sorry. you have to give the penny back to cousin sal. oh, wow, justine. that's so tough. thank you for playing. that's how it goes, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] you know, it's gambling. you're going to roll the dice, you might lose the dice. all right, let's try again. let'si let's see who we have. what is your name, sir? >> my name is osie. >> cal state l.a. >> jimmy: what are you studying? >> exercise science. >> jimmy: exercise science. that's a thing? >> yeah. [ laughter ]
11:53 pm
>> jimmy: and will you be an exercise scientist, or what will -- >> basically i can go anywhere from kinesiology to, like, being like a pediatrician or whatever i want to be. >> jimmy: i see. do you know your money? do you know your u.s. currency? >> probably not. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: okay. you got a tough act to follow because justine was able to identify who was on the penny. but that's where it ended. okay? so the first question is, who is on the penny? >> lincoln. >> jimmy: that is right, osie. you got one cent. do you want to risk it? go to the next one? >> sure. go for it. >> jimmy: okay, wow. we're on the money. who is on the nickel? five cents? >> jefferson. >> jimmy: jefferson is right! [ cheers and applause ] you have six cents. you want to keep that six cents, or do you want to try a dime? >> let's try a dime. [ cheers and applause ]
11:54 pm
>> jimmy: osie's going for it. >> sal: hold on, i have to step in. i've seen too many people blow this. please. >> jimmy: sal -- >> sal: no. take the money, give it back to your parents for the tuition. just be responsible. >> jimmy: don't listen to him. do what you think you should do in this situation. you're going to go for it? >> yeah, i'm going to go for it. >> jimmy: he's going to go for it! [ cheers and applause ] i want to see how much fake enthusiasm i can wring out of you before the night is done. all right. osie, who is on the dime? >> i'm going to say adams. >> jimmy: oh, we're going to have to take that six cents away from you. >> sal: i warned you! >> jimmy: should we try one more? by the way, were you born around the time the oc, the show came out? >> yeah, i was. >> jimmy: okay, that's ridiculous. all right, thank you, osie. we got to do better than this. we're going to play a speed round. who is out there, cousin sal?
11:55 pm
>> hi, erika. >> jimmy: how are you doing? >> good. how are you? >> jimmy: you go to university of washington. >> yeah. >> jimmy: here on spring break? >> yeah. >> jimmy: need some extra cash? >> yeah. >> jimmy: college students always do. erika, who is on the penny? >> abraham lincoln. >> jimmy: that's correct. [ cheers and applause ] do you want to risk it and go for the nickel? >> yeah. >> jimmy: who is on the nickel?. do you want to hold on to that or go for 16 cents? >> sal: walk, walk. >> i'll go for it. >> jimmy: who is on the dime? who is on the dime? this is where osie got caught up. >> would it be adams? >> jimmy: oh, stil i think what we've learned is our college students aren't that bright.

>> jimmy: we are back. still to come, music from mondo cozmo. if there is such a thing as genius in television, our next guest is one. he is a best-selling author, director, screenwriter, producer and the brains behind two great shows "fargo" and "legion." >> you know the most dangerous thing about schizophrenia? the most dangerous thing is believing you don't have it. that's a trick. the mind-killer. your disease convinces you, you don't have it. so, for example, one day in the hospital, you meet a girl and she has some friends and they tell you, you're not sick. you have superpowers, and more than anything, you want to believe it, because that means you're not crazy.
12:23 am
that means you can fall in love and live happily ever after. >> jimmy: that is for the season finale of "legion," it airs on fx next wednesday night at 10:00, please welcome noah hawley! [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: forgive me, but you seem so tiny compared to shaq. >> yes. it's my great burden. >> jimmy: for those who don't know, because i don't think people know entirely what you're up to, you wrote and correct me if i'm wrong, you wrote all ten episodes of the first season of "fargo," six out of ten episodes of the second season. >> yeah. >> jimmy: you wrote a bunch of the episodes for "legion," you wrote a novel that became a best-seller. and now you're, just by sitting here tonight, you're losing two or three episodes of work. >> yeah, it's like how bill

gates loses money by stopping to pick up $10,000. [ laughter ] if i stop moving, i'm in trouble. >> jimmy: you must be the fastest typist in the world. >> with two fingers. i literally type like that. >> jimmy: is that true? >> sometimes another finger will get involved, but mostly it's just the two. >> jimmy: you could get a whole other series if you could learn to type properly. >> the pinkies, yeah. >> jimmy: it really is remarkable. these shows, i mentioned this to you, i le th of these shows. >> thank you. >> jimmy: you really have, you've taken on, "fargo" is one of the most beloved movies of all time, would you agree? >> it is, yeah. >> jimmy: and i assume by you as well. and you decide to make a television series out of it. and not only didn't you ruin it, you made something entirely different and great on its own, and then you dive into marvel comics which is another kind of iconic, holy relic that people shouldn't mess with, and you made this great television show out of that.
12:25 am
i mean, were you at all nervous about touching either of these two things just to start with? >> yeah, with "fargo," i assumed two people would watch it and one would be hate-watching it, and when it turned out to be popular and critically acclaimed, i just assumed that i was doing this thing that was such a terrible idea, that the only thing i could do was just dive into it and make it the thing it had to be. then when we were rewarded for taking risks, i just took more risks and "legion" was sort of the same. you take this underlying material, which is so beautiful and brilliant, and i just tried to pay respect to it, but then to tell the story that i want to tell with it. >> in a way, it reminds me of how like dr. dre or jay-z will take a song or a beat or something and then make it into something else. and even if you don't know what that original thing was, you can appreciate it. >> yeah, i think it's a
12:26 am
conversation that i'm having with the work that i love. even as a novelist, you're always going off the books that inspired you, and it becomes a dialogue in a way. no one had ever asked me to make a cohen brothers movie before. you know, this is my way of showing my appreciation to the work that they do, you know, so i look at it that way. it's about trying to find something unfamiliar and unexpected in something that we all know. >> jimmy: both of your shows have so much in the way of visual, these elements that i wonder how they even make it to the page. and the music as well. like, is that something that you're thinking of, when you're writing, or is that something that you deal with later on? >> no, i start talking about music with the composer, jeff russo, like at the outline stage. with "legion," before there was a script, we were talking and i said, it had to sound like dark side of the moon, one of the most brilliant albums ever made,
12:27 am
and has the soundscape to mental illness. and the movie is about a character who may have a mental i illness, or may have these powers, or both. jeff, as an enthusiast, he went out and he tracked down one of the original synthesizers they used on "dark side of the moon" and used it in the show. >> jimmy: the actual, not just the model? >> no, the model. i don't think he could pry it away from the guy who had it. but, yes, so the music is very important to the identity of the show, obviously, and it is with "fargo" as well. >> jimmy: when you're writing these, do they ever overlap? is there a day when you're writing body of these shows? >> there was about three months ago, i would write a "legion" script one week, and "fargo" the next week. and they're completely opposite shows and different brains that you have to wear. i think you either have the head for it or you don't, really. >> jimmy: most actors, you feel like an actor couldn't do that, because actors, if you visit them on the set, or you hear these stories about them, some of them stay in character the
12:28 am
whole time, but you're switching back and forth from these totally different worlds. >> and the nine other parts of running shows, which is the business side of it, and managing production, and i direct now as well. so there's a lot. >> jimmy: when your kids have a book report to write, are you like, just do it! >> yeah. [ laughter ] just do it, yeah. >> jimmy: like this, i could write that thing, get it done! >> or i've already written it for them. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: so the third season of "fargo" comes out next month. i mean, it's unbelievable how much work you do. >> yeah, i like to multi task, but it's getting a little ridiculous. >> jimmy: it is getting ridiculous. >> you're actually stressing me out. >> jimmy: i'm sorry, but i feel like i need to talk some sense into you. and i know you're working on another series as well, based on a kurt vonnegut book, which is another thing that people will kill you if you screw up. but i want to ask one question about "fargo," because i know ewan mcgregor is starring in two different roles.
12:29 am
>> yeah. >> jimmy: there was an element and it was very -- for those who haven't seen the show, it's a great show. for almost, it seemed no reason at all, a ufo appeared at the end of -- will that -- is that something that will continue on in this next season? >> well, i always joke that season 3 would be the space station "fargo," the year 5050, but i don't think that we're going to do that, no. but you may see a ufo in the season. but i can't say it will be a literal ufo. >> jimmy: should we presume when a ufo shows up, it means you've been up too late writing? >> yes, it does. yeah. too long out in the sun. >> jimmy: if you haven't seen these shows, you can get them on fx, they have the app and everything. watch the whole thing. and the season finale of "legion" is next wednesday at 10:00 on fx. noah hawley! and we shall return with music from mondo cozmo.
