[ laughter ] finally joe biden is in a a little trouble over an old video from 1992 that shows him saying a president shouldn't nominate a new supreme court justice during his final year in office, even though that's exactly what president obama is trying to do right now. biden claims his remarks were taken out of context, but really when does biden ever say anything that can be taken out of context? >> well i tell you what, having been a receiver, i like a a softer ball. [ laughter ] >> and neil smith, an old butt buddy, are you here, neil? neil, i miss you, man. >> i promise you, the president has a big stick.

[ laughter ] overacting. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: wait, what? >> oh, i'm not kidding. overacting big time. i was on stage, in "richard iii." i was playing the hunchback king. and i had a cane. and i was wildly gesturing to the two actors next to me. [ laughter ] and i knocked myself in the

blood came out of both nostrils. i had to literally back off stage while they talked to get kleenex to shove it up my nose so i wouldn't bleed all over the stage. and it hurt like hell, but i didn't think i broke my nose. so, i never checked it out. [ laughter ] now, come in close to my face. come in close. now, look, this is what the doctor said. he said, "breathe through your nose." and i went -- [ laughter ] >> jimmy: oh, yeah, i see that. >> only breathing through one nostril. >> jimmy: oh, my gosh. >> so, just let me say this. all the stuff i've been doing for the last four years, running, tennis, concerts, "house of cards." >> jimmy: "house of cards," yeah. >> without my full capacity, you just wait until i get this sucker fixed!

[ laughter and applause ] okay. i want to talk to you about master class 'cause i'm gonna sign up for this. >> you could use a masterclass.

>> jimmy: no, no, i did -- no, that's not my question. my question is everyone's welcome, right? >> everyone is welcome. >> jimmy: masterclass.com. you go to it, and they choose kevin spacey, and you will teach me how to act. >> what i did was, i did a a workshop in august with 20 actors who auditioned. they all do monologues. i give them directions, and then, we cut it up into about 20 -- more than 20 chapters. and they're all about maybe 10, 15, 20 minutes long. and i love doing workshops. i've been doing it for 20 years. but this is the first time i ever allowed one to be completely filmed. and serena williams did one. a whole lot of people have done them. and it's a great way for -- >> jimmy: acting classes? >> no, no, serena did a tennis class. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: i like to see her take the acting. that'd be funny. >> actually, that would be pretty cool. >> jimmy: that would be not bad. yeah, yeah, yeah. no, but i would do that. i totally would sign up. i'm excited about this. this is the future right here. >> it was great. >> jimmy: imagine how many people you can teach, i mean, around the world. >> for me, one of the reasons i love doing it is because i was somebody who got to go to these kind of classes when i was a a kid. and i did one with jack lemon when i was 13 years old.

a life-changing moment for me. >> jimmy: can you tell the story about al pacino and "glengarry glen ross"? he told this backstage. this is the truth. >> this is a great story. this is a story about how an actor can be incredibly generous to another actor. so, i did this movie with pacino called, "glengarry glen ross." [ cheers and applause ] sheep applause, thank you. i had this scene where pacino had to chew me out. he had to call me every name in the book. and so, we come to shoot the scene. i have no dialogue. i'm just standing there while he walks like this around the room and just tears into me. and so, i didn't know this, but he told the sound department not to record because he was off camera. it's just my close-up. and he started saying stuff that was about me. like, "oh, kevin, we know how don't we?" [ laughter ] and he kept going on and going on. >> jimmy: personal and mean. >> he got personal and mean. i was like -- literally, i looked like a car wreck. >> and we cut. and al walked over and went, "oh, that was so good. your reaction was so real.

[ laughter ] "they didn't record that. i just -- i just wanted you to -- you know, i was giving you that because if you saw me tomorrow, on the street, and yelled across the street, 'hey, al, i hear about what you did last night!' i would jump, because, you know, we're all guilty." [ laughter ] >> jimmy: i mean, that's a a fantastic story. and they use that footage -- >> so that i would react the way my character was supposed to react. and it was fantastically generous. >> jimmy: there's lessons like that you can learn from masterclass.com. but i wanted to play a game with you tonight if you don't mind. i was wondering if we could have kids judge our acting, and i will act with you. i'll explain. >> certainly. >> jimmy: is that cool? after the break. i'll explain more with

with my moderate to severe ulcerative colitis, the possibility of a flare was almost always on my mind. thinking about what to avoid, where to go... and how to deal with my uc. to me, that was normal. until i talked to my doctor. she told me that humira helps people like me get uc under control and keep it under control when certain medications haven't worked well enough. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. raise your expectations. ask your gastroenterologist about humira.

[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: last night, the 2016 gates annual letter was published, at gatesletter.com. and it's making headlines worldwide today. here to tell us about this year's letter and catch us up on the good work that bill and melinda gates foundation is up to nowadays, please say hello to bill and melinda gates, everyone.

>> jimmy: welcome to the show. bill, welcome back to the show. melinda, it's a pleasure meeting you. thank you so much for coming on the show. i appreciate this. and i always -- i'm sorry. just out of respect, i should just -- [ laughter ] i love you guys. i really do love you and thank you for coming on the show every time you're here. i just want to let people know how many good things you're doing. i like to remind people, since 2000, maternal deaths have almost halved. child mortality and malaria deaths have halved. 17 million lives have been saved from malaria, aids and tuberculosis. wow. [ cheers and applause ] thank you.

you. this year, gatesletter.com, check it out, it is based on you're talking to high school kids in kentucky. and they say, "if you had a a superpower what would it be?" into two. melinda, you answered, and bill, you answered separately, but still kind of connected. what was your answer? >> my answer is if i could have any superpower, it would be time. you know, we all we only have 24 hours in the day. >> jimmy: yeah. and i fundamentally have come to believe through this work that to empower women to reach their potential, we need to give them back time. if you look at what women do all over the world -- [ cheers and applause ] at home they do all this unpaid work that we don't call work, whether it is caring for a a child, which they like to do or an elderly person, but it's also chores. and in the u.s., women spend four hours a day of unpaid work that we don't think of as work, and around the world it is four and a half hours and some places, six.

them that time back or some of it, redistribute it so husbands help them do some of the work. yes! they would really reach their full potential. bill? [ laughter ] >> absolutely. >> jimmy: in a nut shell, what was your answer? >> energy. energy is pretty fundamental. the idea you can just flip that light switch comes on or sets the temperature. there's still a lot of people who don't have that. over a billion, and yet, we need to build out all this energy in a way that avoids climate change. so we need a lot of innovation, so i'd talk about the fact that we got to invest in it, and the next generation has to come along and do the science, so we move quickly to get a a breakthrough in energy innovation. >> jimmy: you're always up for -- any new ideas or some fun thing. i always love reading it. and you want to always get the word out, gatesletter.com. i mean, that's why you're on the show tonight, to get that
