>> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live!" tonight, terry bradshaw, from "the mayor," yvette nicole brown, hosts of the rose parade cord and tish, and a special musical performance from john legend. and now, i solemnly swear, here's jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: welcome. very nice. thanks, everybody. i'm jimmy, i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. thank for coming. it's good to have you here. it's good to be here. uh last night, you know, last night there was real concern the voters in alabama would put an alleged child molester and bigot and homophobe, all the bad things santa frowns on, in the

united states senate. [ laughter ] but it didn't happen. the special election actually turned out to be a very special election after all. last night doug jones beat roy moore to become the first -- [ cheers and applause ] -- democratic senator from alabama since 1992. it was a major upset. a republican losing to a democrat in alabama is like a grizzly bear losing to a fish. [ laughter ] it just doesn't happen. unless the republican happens to be so creepy around young girls, he was banned from the local mall. if the republican you're running against is not allowed inside forever 21, your odds of winning increase significantly. [ laughter ] it is kind of depressing that in 2017, barely not electing an alleged pedophile to the senate is something to celebrate. [ laughter ] but we'll take what we can get at this point. team jones, of course, doug jones' squad was fired up. this is the scene at jones headquarters when they called it. pay special attention to the very enthusiastic gentleman in the middle. >> doug jones has been elected the united states senator from alabama.

>> well, it is absolutely deafening in here. this news just came in across the screen there from the horse's mouth. i can barely hear myself -- >> jimmy: i've never seen bernie sanders so excited. laugh of [ laughter ] at the roy moore post-election party they were celebrating. they were also not giving up. roy moore refused to concede. on top of that his horse got towed, it was very sad. [ laughter ] not only didn't he concede, as of showtime none night he still hasn't conceded. he said god will decide when it's over. guess what. god decided, it's over. god went home. [ cheers and applause ] god's sitting on his couch watching netflix right now. it's done. roy moore did last night take time to reflect on the difficulties his campaign faced.

as a result of the many allegations against him. this i think is an interesting point. >> you know, part of the thing -- part of the problem with this campaign -- >> jimmy: is that you're on stage with a weirdo in a trench coat? [ laughter ] that's the problem? or is it something else? and of course no special election would be complete without analysis from "fox and friends." some people saw what happened last night as a rejection of president trump, who actively endorsed roy moore. but not fox and not his friends. >> dems caught a break when all these allegations came out against judge moore. the environment was really bad. the story i felt was very -- it was horrific. it was hard for women especially to go to the polls and vote for him, even though those allegations were just allegations and even though it happened so long ago. this was not a referendum on trump. i feel like it was a referendum on harvey weinstein. >> jimmy: whatever. something jewy, who ever he is.o

donald trump's twitter account. he wrote, congratulations to doug jones and a hard-fought victory. the write-in votes played a very big factor but a win is a win. the people of alabama are great, republicans will have another shot at the seat in a very short period of time, it never ends. he was gracious, he was tasteful, he didn't insult anybody. which means there's no way he wrote one word of that tweet. [ laughter ] i guess ivanka grabbed his phone and tweeted that. then this morning he was back to his old self. he wrote, the reason i originally endorsed luther strange and his numbers went up mightily is that i said roy moore will not be able to win the general election, i was right, roy worked so hard but the deb was stacked against him. which is absolutely perfect. only donald trump could say, remember when i was wrong? i was right! [ laughter ] and the idea that the deck -- he said the deck was stacked. [ applause ]

the deck was stacked against the rpt in alabama. does donald trump know how a stacked deck works? maybe this is why his casinos went bankrupt. [ laughter ] here's some real news i bet donald trump wishes was fake. the "usa today" editorial board took an unusually harsh stance against the president. among many other things they wrote, a president who would all but call senator kirsten gillibrand a whore is not fit to clean the toilets of the barack obama library or sheen the shoes of george w. bush. that is from "usa today." the previously most controversial thing they published was a pie chart asking whether cats made great pets. [ laughter ] "usa today," other publications are forming strong opinions on-ramping up their rhetoric. some of them have never done this before. "consumer reports" says, is trump dumber than these toasters? [ laughter ] "national geographic." "rare 18 spotted in white house garden."

"highlights" magazine. there weren't any. this is from the national enquirer. worst beach body. oh, "ebony" magazine. oh hell no! "cosmopolitan." "17 sexy ways trump will touch you without your consent." this one surprised me. "cat fancy." "to be gr "to "stop grabbing us." you know who must be loving this? sean spicer. sean spicer, seemed like he was press contrary 100 years ago but he's writing a book now about his experience working for trump. it will be called "the briefing." i guess "confederacy of dunces" was taken. the book promises to shed new light on all the nights sean spicer cried himself to sleep in the white house. it's scheduled for release july 23rd of next year. that's good. all the guys he writes about can read it in prison, so that will be fun. end of an era.

another trump o.g. is out. o fired from her general at the white house. apparently she didn't sell as much lemonade as bret michaels did. is that how it works? she was fired by trump's chief of staff, john kelley, and reportedly did not take the news well. they say she was forcibly removed from the white house after angrily demanding to speak to the president and shouting profanities. although to be fair, everyone leaves the white house shouting profanities. [ laughter ] apparently quite a scene. by the way, now that she's leaving, can someone explain why she was there? because as good as it is to hear olmerosa is out of a job at the white house it serves as a sobering reminder that olmerosa had a job at the white house. [ laughter ] [ applause ] on "the bachelor" they get all the contestants who were kicked off to talk about what happened? that's what this white house needs. "trump staff tells all."

host that, chris harrison. good-bye, olmerosa and hello gary busey, i guess. [ laughter ] president trump's approval rating is the lowest since he took office. according to the latest poll his approval rating is 32%. a lot of americans are disappointed with the president. and for those who are looking to express that disappointment as the year comes to an end, we encourage you to do it safely. we've had more than our share of trouble so please pay attention to this important safety announcement. >> i'm fire chief bob cooper with an important message for trump voters. the freedom to burn your make america great again hat is protected by the u.s. constitution but it is important that you do it safely. first, make sure you're in an open area. these hats say they are made in america, but they're almost definitely made in china. who knows what's in those fumes? next, do not roast your squirrel over your make america great again hat. squirrel is delicious, but make america great again hats are not

food-safe. and finally, never set your make america great again hat on fire while it is still on your head. fire is hot. fire will burn. well, that's it. have fun. but remember, safety first. oops! there goes another one. >> remember, only you can prevent maga fires.
