[ laughter ] >> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live." tonight milo ventimiglia, from "landline" jenny slate. and music from lindsey stirling featuring rooty. and now, having said all that , here's jimmy kimmel!

[ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: thank you very much. hi. i'm jimmy. i'm the host. thank you for watching. thank you for coming. [ cheers and applause ] i don't know what's going on. but right before i came out, you know, right before the show there's a guy who goes like -- like right as the theme goes and dicky announces me this guy's like go out. as if i haven't done this 14,000 times. but there was a big blob glob of something in my hair. i don't know what the hell it was. and i just pulled it and it's gross. and i don't know what it was. did you leave some of your hair gel back there? >> guillermo: i think it was the station manager. >> jimmy: was he wearing a lot of hair gel? >> guillermo: yeah. >> jimmy: how would he have gotten it onto my head? >> guillermo: because he say go and then he touch your head. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: that's what it was. thank you for clearing that up, guillermo. i tell you something. it's a beautiful summer day here in l.a. and suddenly i was on google searching ways to survive a nuclear attack. [ laughter ] fyi, there are no ways, it turns

out. president trump today took a break from his vacation to issue this extraordinary threat to north korea. >> north korea best not make any more threats to the united states. they will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen. he has been very threatening, beyond a normal statement. and as i said, they will be met with fire, fury, and frankly power the likes of which this world has never seen before. thank you. thank you. >> jimmy: so as you can see, the vacation is really relaxing him. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] fire and fury and -- listen. we're sorry we made fun of you. go back to golfing before you kill all of us.

[ laughter ] i watched that clip about a dozen times today. and after viewing number 8 i noticed this. look at this. watch as it goes over. the camera pans over to kellyanne -- that right there, that is the face of someone who just realized she has to get up at 4:00 a.m. tomorrow to defend this all day. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] by the way, he's saying this. he's making this crazy threat. from a golf course. there's probably a little shop that sells range balls in the next room. [ laughter ] he's making threats from nuclear war. u.s. intelligence, by the way, assessed that north korea has successfully produced a miniaturized nuclear warhead that could potentially reach california, oregon and washington, three states that didn't vote for guess who, by the way. [ laughter ] it's times like this i'm glad all our top scientists and engineers are working on instagram filters. because cnn keeps showing this map that is making me very nervous.

basically, we're one trump toilet tweet away from being the united states of florida. [ laughter ] north korea responded today by saying they're carefully examining a plan to strike the u.s. territory of guam. so they responded to the president's threat about not making any more threats with another threat. and you wonder what's going on, but there's a lot of history between the united states and north korea. and there's history between trump and kim jong un. kim jong un's issues with donald trump go back to something that happened in 2009, when the now president did something that the north korean leader can never forgive. >> dennis, you're fired. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: you see, he fired his best friend in the whole world with no severance pay. but here's the thing. donald trump and kim jong un both seem like reasonable men. i'm sure everything will work out fine. trump is of course claiming that he's away from work because the white house is undergoing long-scheduled repairs.

the workers are replacing ac system which is 27 years old in the west wing which has been on the fritz causing the president to repeatedly overheat. and so far they say the repairs are on schedule for the president's return. >> construction workers have started a $3.5 million renovation at the west wing. the oval office among the rooms being refurbished. the walls now bare. the historic resolute desk removed so that the floor can be refinished. the building's nearly 30-year-old heating and air-conditioning system is also being replaced. >> very big job where you have to install wiring, ducting, microphone, i mean -- not microphone. i don't know why i say this. [ laughter ] [ gunshots ] >> jimmy: well, that ought to stop the leak. well, with all the madness going on right now, with all the very serious things we have to worry about, this clip makes a lot of

sense to me. this is from the bbc, where they have an anchor, a gentleman by the name of simon mccoy, who did not do a great job of hiding his distaste for a story he had to cover. >> you're watching bbc news. just bear in mind it is august. this does not look like a walk in the park. dog owners and their pets in california have hit the waves in the second annual world dog surfing championships. here are the pictures. ♪ the competitors' main challenge is to stay afloat on the board. this is in the pacific near san francisco. but there are also prizes for the best dressed and tandem surfing dogs. the winner of course being crowned top dog. that's a shame. we've run out of pictures. weather. let's get the latest. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: i guess he's a cat person. [ cheers and applause ] i'd watch that. i'd love to see that guy read

his kids a bedtime story. [ laughter ] meanwhile, you'd think that with all that's happening with our neighbors to the north people in south korea would be on edge right now, but if this clip starring steph curry and his brother seth is any indication, they are not. ♪ [ speaking foreign language ] ♪ [ applause ] >> jimmy: they're having fun. back to north korea. which is the bigley story of the day, if not the year. people are understandably worked up about this. according to a new poll, and this poll was taken before the

president's threat today, a majority of americans, 75%, believe that north korea's nuclear program is a critical threat to the united states. what i wonder is how many americans even know where north korea is. so we went out onto hollywood boulevard, [ cheers and applause ] while it's still here, ch & this is what we learned. >> do you think the united states should consider military action against north korea? >> i would say yes. >> and where exactly is north korea? >> it's in -- what, as far as on the map? i don't know. i'm horrible at geography. >> you can take a guess. >> up here somewhere? >> and where exactly is north korea? >> oh, god. here we go. let me guess, somewhere near here. >> that is the middle east. >> yeah. so no. [ laughter ] >> i think it's up top. i don't know.

i really don't remember. >> can you take a guess? >> i know this is africa. is it somewhere up here? >> ooh, that's europe. >> that is europe. you know, i'm really good at geography but this is very embarrassing because i don't even remember where the [ bleep ] north korea is. excuse my language. >> take a guess. >> take a guess? somewhere out here? >> should we consider military action against north korea? >> i believe so. >> and where is north korea? >> uh. >> north korea. uh. hold on. it's somewhere over in this area, i believe. it's in asia. >> absolutely. unless they moved it. >> yeah. >> general vicinity. >> is it over here somewhere? >> oh, no. that's the arctic. >> where is north korea? >> oh, shoot.

you are right now? >> yeah. over here. >> nailed it. >> i'm going to say right there. >> that's it. >> is it really? >> no, it's not. it's right there. >> what! he [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: all right. well, you know, it's -- [ cheers and applause ] by the way, we spotted a celebrity in our audience. where are you from? or do you even know? >> i'm from virginia. >> you're from virginia. and you've never seen north korea on the map. >> aparentally not. >> will you be able to get home do you think or -- >> no. actually no. >> did you finally figure out the -- >> i did. >> and do you think now you could remember where it is? >> yeah. >> you do. okay. well, we'll find you again in a year. and we'll test you then. okay? well, there you go.

>> anyhow, it was 8:35, and i'm like that's it. i let the phone call go. then the phone rang again and again. and i'm like i should probably pick this up. so i pulled my motorcycle over and i hit hello and it was russ. and he was crying and he was excited. buddy, you got nominated. buddy, you got f-ing nominated. and i was like, what? what? and then it was like okay, i've got to get back on the freeway and get to work. so i got back on the freeway. then by the time like i got from the news to the studio, it had maybe been about 35 minutes, and i had 200 and like 72 text messages. >> jimmy: for real? >> for real. i didn't know i knew tham that many people. >> jimmy: really. you give your phone number out too much. [ laughter ] >> i guess so. and then there were also like 50 voicemails and about 97 e-mails. so anybody that i knew -- >> jimmy: your family was excited, i assume. >> yeah. my parents, they were very proud, very excited. although my father --

>> jimmy: you brought something. your dad's instagram account. >> i had to share this. god bless my mom and dad for always keeping me in the world of creativity and being supportive. you know, thank you, mom and dad. but my dad, that wasn't the news of the day. >> jimmy: this was posted on the day of your nomination. >> on the day of the nomination. it also happened to be national french fry day.

what's going on here? [ laughter ] >> no, he's not. >> jimmy: he's just an intense snacker. >> he's an aficionado of snacks. he's the guy who when he gets on set okay, where'scraft services? craft services is the place where there's snacks and food. >> jimmy: will you bring your parents to the emmys? >> you know, my mom and dad declined. they said they're holding out for an academy award. >> jimmy: oh, no. >> i was like, i made it in tv and i'm going to the big show for tv. they're like no, we're going to wait for the academy awards. >> jimmy: wow. >> yeah. they declined. >> jimmy: i don't know what to make of that. i'll be honest with you. >> me neither. >> jimmy: hey, you know what? i want to mention because i read in the news that sylvester stallone is going to be on your show next season. >> he is. >> jimmy: how did that happen? >> so i was in the writer's room and i'm hearing all the stories about what's going to happen for this coming season. and the producers say to me, they have this idea for this big movie idol icon for justin hartley's character, for kevin. and they're like we want someone like sylvester stallone. and i said, that's rad. and then they say to me, do you think he'd do it?

and i go, well, i don't know. and then they just stare at me. and i go -- >> jimmy: because you worked with him. >> because i played his kid in "balboa." and it dawned on me. oh, you want me to call him. okay. yeah. i'll put on my producer hat and i'll call him. >> jimmy: so you made that call. >> yeah. >> jimmy: how did you pitch it to stallone? >> i mean, i called him. then when i got on the phone, hey, sly, it's milo. "how are you doing?" [ laughter ] "things are well? how's your father?" yeah, things are well. how but? "you know, just writing." [ laughter ] so then i pitch him this idea, this storyline of kind of what his involvement would be and you know, if you watch the show -- if you don't plug your ears. if you watch the show you know basically justin hartley's character kind of made this transition he gets a big movie and his co-star is stallone. and that was his movie idol. so when i kind of pitched it to sly, i said, you know, listen,

my son, you are his movie idol but you've got to wonder where he gets it from. he gets it from dad. so his involvement was a very big part of my character's storyline, of jack's storyline. which meant a lot to me because sly is one of my idols and i got to work with him. >> jimmy: this is a good pitch so far. >> yeah. it was way more eloquent and took a lot longer. >> jimmy: it's a solid pitch. did he immediately say yes? >> he said "it sounds pretty good. send me some pages." so i sent him some pages. and then he wrote me the coolest e-mail back where he'd said something along the lines of "this sounds -- this sounds" -- what did he say? "this sounds very cool. i'll be back in the states soon. and dare i say it, intriguing." [ laughter ] oh, man. i wish i could remember the exact e-mail. oh, "this sounds -- this -- this sounds very worthwhile. dare i say, it intriguing."

[ laughter ] and i thought to myself, i said, i think he's going to do it. i think he's going to do it. >> intriguing. so he agreed to do it. he never does television stuff. i think stallone loves you more than your real father does, i'll be honest with you. [ laughter ] >> yeah. it was also one of those things where every time i saw sly throughout the years, the last 13 years bumping into him, he was always so warm with me. one time i walked up to him, it had been six years since "balboa" and i walked up and he was having dinner with bruce willis. and i had to excuse myself to bruce willis. then i turned to sly and i said hey, sly. he goes, "my son." and he stands up, this big hug. and you know, he always -- whenever we'd finish a conversation he'd always say to me, "if you need anything, call." he was always very genuine. >> jimmy: but everyone says that and they're full of it usually when they say it. >> yeah. not sly. >> jimmy: what they mean is i'm changing my number immediately. >> yeah. i don't care that you're under sir anthony hopkins anymore. >> jimmy: that is an intriguing story indeed. so okay, when we come back,

>> jimmy: is it like "conga" would that help me do you think? >> i think conga would help everybody. >> jimmy: oh, sure. wow. that's a weird thing to suggest. >> and can i just tell you the tie-in real quick? because if it had been anyone else, if he was like carly simon, i would have been like sure, i will because i love her as well. but this seemed magical because i had seen a psychic in 2008 by the way. who had been like you need to do a one-woman show and then you'll be given the big stage. that's what she said. and by the way, the psychic was like a lady that i met while working in a bakery who wore two pairs of glasses at once. and i was like, i don't know, i'll give you my money. she was like, you should do a one-woman show and you'll be given the big stage. and i was like ooh. i'm imagining like a castle with a huge stage where like the town comes and sees me eat my lunch or something.

but then i ended up doing a one-woman show that took place at my funeral if i died as an eccentric millionaire. oh, i was smoking a ton of weed at the time. >> jimmy: okay. yeah. it makes sense. you didn't have to say it. we all kind of just got that. >> yeah, yeah, yeah. and i'm currently on mdma. so i did this show and one of the people that i was fixated on at the moment was gloria estefan. >> jimmy: oh, my goodness. >> right? because i was on drugs and i thought she had had a terrible bus accident and i thought that she had been ejected from her bus and then run over by her bus. that's not what happened at all. again, on drugs. and so i did an impression of her thanking me in the eulogy being like i love jenny slate, she bought me a new bus because my last bus drove me over, it landed on top of me, it's a bad

bus. whatever. and i'm like this is weird, this is art for nobody, but i'm doing it. and the second show someone from "snl" came and saw it and they were like come in and audition next week. and i had nothing to do in the audition. so i auditioned with this horrible insult, like very kind of offensive almost impression of gloria estefan. and that was it. >> and you got on "saturday night live." you came out of the dark.
