[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: i'm jimmy, i'm the host of the show. thanks for coming. welcome. very kind of you. i know everyone on the east coast right now is getting bundled up for a blizzard but we have quite the opposite going on in hollywood. sunny and 145 degrees here today. i wore shorts and a sports bra to work this morning. that's how warm it is. the high was actually 77 here in l.a. today but with a bull body wax it feels like 68. it's our equivalent of the windchill factor. the weather channel is calling this winter storm jonas. they say it will be an historic storm that could wreak havoc across the mid-atlantic. usually when a jonas wreaks havoc it's because nick jonas released a photo on instagram. but this jonas could drop 2 feet of snow. weekend is supposed to be hit especially hard. they had an inch of snow yesterday.

president obama's motorcade got stuck. he had to glide back to the white house on hoverboard one. this is interesting. a hardware store in virginia sold 700 shovels on tuesday alone. to one guy. doesn't even have a driveway, just loves shovels. while millions of americans are very cold right now, our planet is warming at an alarming rate. 2015 was the hottest year on record and they say 2016 might be even hotter. because zac efron is here tonight. [ cheers and applause ] yes, he'll be here. and now he's deaf. jeb bush isn't so hot right now but he's desperately trying to stir things up. he has a new ad in which he

in the ad bush shows a vision of the future, it's election day in november, donald trump in this ad is the republican nominee for president. and he's forced to concede defeat to hillary clinton. and jeb bush says, doesn't have to be that way, he says, i should be the one to concede defeat to hillary clinton. eye are better at it, i'd be more tejeb tweeted today, if donald trump is the nominee hillary clinton will be elected president and we can't let that happen. jeb is painting himself as the only candidate who can beat hillary. meanwhile his brother george is at home painting portraits of his dog. and not helping at all. you know, i was browsing the web today, i own a web browser. i might onto something. every other website has something like this. should martha stewart and wendy williams host a show together? vote yes, no, no strong opinion. i voted no strong opinion. because i don't have a strong opinion on that. but i see stuff like this all the time. here's another one.

play at the halftime of the super bowl? yes, no, or are you serious? and it occurred to me, maybe this is why half the people in america don't vote, because voting used to be an important thing. it only happened every couple of years. now every day we're constantly being asked to vote on stuff like this. which celeb's son is hotter? ray nicholson or dylan brosnan? obviously it's dylan brosnan. it's not even close. but when you vote for stuff like this three or four dames a day, and i do because i cannot help it, you're texting your votes to nick fradiani from "american idol" or whatever the hell we're doing, "the voice," "the people's choice." by the time the presidential reaction come election come around, who cares? we're out of steam. i tell you something, i really hope wendy williams and martha stewart devote a show to this and explore this subject because it needs to be tackled. whoever does become our next president is going to have to deal with isis, which now is

fighters. >> it's part of an explosion of online recruiting for isis that's eye-catching and inviting. young women are promised free housing, health care, cars, men are promised beautiful brides, true to the faith. in many cases it seems to be working. it's been estimated that more than 500 western women have left their families to travel to syria and iraq and join isis. experts say there's even a catch phrase circulating. jihotties. >> jimmy: what expert said that? [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: no expert said jihotties. you can find them on ji-harmony. isis is going through financial troubles right now, reportedly cutting salaries of all isis what do they call them, cast members? by 50%. which that's got to be -- i have to say, isis has got to be a

raise, really. you may have seen we bombed their money, destroyed a few million of their dollars in cash. with money in short supply some isis fighters are exploring new careers. >> i was down on my luck. >> i was barely scraping by. >> then i found a way to make ends meet without giving up my passion for global terrorism. >> i went to isis tech, the first and only tech college for nil tants. >> i developed the skills i need to succeed in today's fast-paced world. i'm not just a dangerous fanatic, i have a degree in hotel management. >> isis tt tech works with you to find a field that feels right. choose from a wide range of careers. massage therapy. cosmetology. auto repair. anything is possible. >> in just six months i'll have my degree in floral design. wow. i just keep getting better and

>> i'm a dental hygienist. with the money i saved i was able to buy an anti-aircraft missile. thanks, isis tt tech! isis tt tech be a smarter martyr [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: speaking of terrorists does anyone here own a of who hoverboard? you do? i hate those so much. guillermo, round her up and put her in the stock caid. >> guillermo: yeah, sure. >> jimmy: you don't have to. amazon is offering full refunds on hoverboards because as you know, some of them have a tendency to burst into flames which is a negative. basically amazon is saying, go ahead and send that explosive device back to us in the mail. is you know, if amman is offering money back for stuff that didn't work, i'd like a

>> that's that. you can't return it, that's that, there's nothing we can do about it. >> who's that? >> that's that. not who. that. >> what do you mean that? >> that's that. it's our return policy. see? we reserve the right -- >> that's that. >> that's that. >> oh my goodness, so then what? >> so that's that. you have to keep it. >> can i just get credit? i'm going to get something else right now. >> i can give you credit for trying to bring it back, but it's not going to work. >> what do you mean? explain to me. >> are you his friend? >> yeah. >> okay. >> in terms of the policy you're indicating? >> uh-huh. >> where does it state that? so that before someone purchases it, they have like full disclosure. >> that's exactly right. that's exactly right. do you see what he's saying? >> no. >> no, that's what i'm asking you. >> oh. >> where's the disclaimer?

it's right there. it's up there. >> no, when the person who purchases it inside didn't know about that -- >> yeah, you know what it is -- it makes it so much easier for guys like me. then if anyone could return something i look at them like, no, that's that, you have to keep it. >> i still don't get the that. >> it means -- >> can you explain it again? >> he's got this. >> it's a delicate way of saying you're [ bleep ] out of luck. >> oh! >> [ bleep ]. really. >> we can't put that on the wall, what he just said. >> but that's that. this is that? that wasn't that. this wasn't a that that. >> no, no, this isn't that, that is that. then that's that. >> so what purchases don't apply to that's that? or everything applies to that's that? >> you can't return it because this is part of that's that. >> no, how does one decipher between anything -- >> right, exactly.

look at it and size it up, it's at our discretion. >> no, then what are you -- so the consumer's inside, right? how do they know what's that and what's this? >> you don't know until you bring it back. >> it's a legal mess, you know -- >> no, no, no -- >> i mean, really -- >> i don't know that this is a that's that -- >> look, if your that's that policy stands -- >> i like it. >> then you could potentially take precedents for other places. and then, you know, consumers are going to -- >> if the president brought something back i would probably accept it. >> that's not going to stand, other companies, target, et cetera, that if they like where you're going with this, it's going to take presscreate precedents and they're going to follow it. >> first of all, barack obama would probably send -- he probably wouldn't buy fake flowers but he'd send somebody to do it for him, he wouldn't wait in line on a tuesday afternoon.

>> you know, like charlie sheen gives to other people, that's that. >> oh, gosh. >> you know, some of his lovers -- >> right, right, right. >> they can sue. >> that's that. i mean, they should have known. they should have known. >> he didn't tell them. he didn't give them full disclosure. >> you know what i think you're starting to get it. you're starting to understand. >> he didn't give full disclosure. had he told them they probably would have opted out of interactions with him. >> he's got it. you're making a good point about the president. >> no refund. it's like those two don't go together, look at it. >> it's the one on top that we go by. >> can i get a picture of that? >> sure, you can take a picture. you want to be in it? i can take the picture. >> no, listen. you can't resolve, see eye to eye on some kind of mutual agreement, then channel 5 comes out -- >> that's interesting.

this whole thing, it's very frustrating. >> it's chaotic. >> very frustrating. >> i almost guarantee you're going to have another customer is going to feel as comepassionate as we feel, it's going to make the line longer -- >> let's forget about channel 5, let's concentrate on channel 7 in l.a., "jimmy kimmel live," because that's what you're on right now, right there. here you go.

he made a call, i got you in. like the day after tomorrow. this is virtually impossible, there's no way anyone gets into this restaurant. so we showed up. we had our meal, which was outstanding. it was just -- my girlfriend and i eating. and there's this little area outside where you kind of take photos with everyone that comes into the restaurant. now everybody wants him. >> jimmy: the chef, right. >> he's got to hate it. i felt terrible asking but i was like, can i have one? he's like, i'll meet you outside. when we went outside he seemed really enthusiastic about taking the picture, he was really excited. he was smiling the whole time. and it turns out i think the girl that seated us who was jumping into the photos ended up being his granddaughter. i think she may have been a fan from the old days. >> jimmy: ah. >> so i think that might have something to do with why i got that reservation. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: isn't that surprising when that happens?

>> that is the best-case scenario of when all this pays off in a great way. >> jimmy: yeah, right, no kidding. >> i got to eat jiro sushi. it was amazing. >> you went to a real school. a lot of actors don't go to actual school. but you did go to school, yes? >> legit school, public school. >> jimmy: you were in drama class? >> i was, indeed. >> jimmy: it's an interesting thing. your teacher from drama class sent something along. >> oh no. are you serious? >> jimmy: yes. >> oh, no. >> jimmy: i felt maybe it might be fun for to us take a walk down -- really just memory lane for you. and a brand-new undiscovered lane for us. >> okay. >> jimmy: take a look. it's supper time yeah it's supper time and with supper time bring on the bacon and fill me up
