game night," presented by skype, with david spade and nba stars jeremy lin and roy hibbert. and now here's jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: hello, and welcome. i'm jimmy kimmel. no, you did not go unconscious and wake up after midnight. tonight we are in primetime, for the first of what could be up to seven "game night" specials. but let's hope not because i am very lazy. if you're watching from the eastern half of the country, the game is about to start. if you're watching in the west, it's over. if you're in central or mountain time, i think they're showing a rerun of "george lopez" right now, so, hola. after a season that looked like it might not happen at all, the nba finals are upon us again tonight -- game one between the miami heat and the oklahoma city thunder, from chesapeake energy arena. here's an interesting tidbit -- this is the first nba finals series ever played between two teams with no "s" at the end of s. usually it's the lakers, , pace spurs. it's plural. but this one is the heat and the thunder, or, as your dad will say it, the heats and th

you're opponent tonight may be the biggest basketball story of 2012 -- from the knicks of new york, jeremy linlto. how's your knee doing, jeremy? >> oh, it's good now. it's all good to go. >> jimmy: okay, good. you don't feel like it will affect you, physically, in this competition? >> no, i think i'm ready for the change of directions and stuff that the scavenger hunt requires. >> jimmy: excellent, thank you. right. you see? these guys are professional athletes. they're competitive, no matter what the sport, and it's time now to play an nba edition of the "skype scavenger hunt." it's a simple game. it's a scavenger hunt. i'm gonna ask you to find an item. your job is to bring it back to the camera as quickly as you can. roy, jeremy, are you ready? all right. >> yep. >> jimmy: round one goes to the player that can bring back something they still have from high school. something you still have from high school. and there they go. [ chuckles ] and they're off to scour their homes to find some -- oh! roy, uno. that looks like a fresh pack to me. roy brought back uno. jeremy, what do you have? >>

. >> gutierrez used geraldo rivera and jeremy lin as examples. >>> we have a heat wave coming and did they get any rain or relief in colorado? did the storms help at all? >> they made it worse. a bit of rain but the winds kicked up to 65 miles an hour. one person was talking about how the fire moved three miles in an hour. that's not good news for colorado and that same heat they have been dealing with in the plains is moving our way. and we are talking about big time heat. we hit 100 in baltimore last week. i think many areas are going to be at 100 and maybe higher over the next few days but there will be more humidity this time around. high temperature, 89 degrees across the region tonight. it was very comfortable. we also saw a good wind. but the dangerous heat is moving in quickly. temperatures, 77 degrees out there right now. a very nice evening. notice the dew point though starting to get up there closer to 60 degrees. the humidity at 48%. the dew point is on the rise the next few days today. 69 in martensburg. 64 in culpepper so another nice night tonight. a nice start tomorrow

you have no interest in sports, but you should know that jeremy lin has just emerged as a phenomenon. that's not just important. it's serendipity. which is out of your comfort zone. >> we have a story on the front page of the print newspaper that's gone viral about had this guy in maryland who dresses up in a batman outfit. drives around to look for a lamborghini. nobody would know to look for that story. obviously, you wouldn't tailor that. it's clearly working because it's gone completely viral. >> you know, you talked about in billing this luncheon session today is content king and there's been this debate for decades as to who is king? is it distribution? is it content? and the truth is, and it flows from what you were saying about social media, the consumers came. and technology gives them the armaments to become king. and basically, they choose to lower the prices on books through digital books, which is technology that comes along. free google searches and get news on that. and to say what they liked in your newspaper and what they don't like in the newspaper. or use the conten

they couldn't grasp you know this sort of notion about when jeremy lin had these racial epitaph thrown at him. is this a chance to talk about race? is this a chance to talk about -- if you are saying germany lin got there because you was a hard worker and what does that mean about derek rose and? does he not work hard? is a just natural talent? so we tried to have this conversation but so many of these young people, and they are 18, 19-year-old kids have bought into this model minority second-generation immigrant type of narrative that you know, if i can distance myself from african-americans, whiteness becomes the norm and that is something i will strive towards an something i try to do in my teaching is try to at least recalibrate that you know, folks are seeing that particularly among asian-americans, i mean it's only very recently asian-americans consider themselves one type of political group that particularly dark darker asians like filipinos, mung, cambodian, laotians. they are racialized i think in a very different way than the japanese, chinese and korean americans are go okin

. >> gutierrez also used the examples of geraldo rivera, who is from bribe lynn and jeremy lin, who is from l.a. as examples. >>> only 30 days left to wait until the start of the 2012 london olympics. the host city is buzzing with anticipation action as the big moment draws closer. the games are transforming the historic city, including a big change to a london landmark. nbc's francis coe has our report. >> reporter: with one month left to go. london says it's ready to play host to the world. the london games are on schedule, under budget and with the final field of athletes almost set, there's not much let to do. >> london is ready as any olympic city has ever been at this stage in the business. >> reporter: in honor of the important 30-day milestone the tower bridge was decked out with the olympic rings. it's not the only landmark getting the facelift. several sites are being transformed. wimbledon will host the tennis competition. the soccer competition will take place at wembley stadium. the famous horse guards parade guard at buckingham will be transformed into a beach volley ball

. >> this is baseball's jeremy lin.out retiring and deep into his 30s, picks up the knuckle ball. funky pitch, doesn't travel fast and this year, he has mastered it. 37 years old and suddenly, he's the the best pitcher in baseball. he's 11-1. last two games have been one hitters. just a great story. >> you wrote this this week, he is unapologetically thoughtful. literary and literate. his locker doubles as a library. he's currently pondering writing a book of short stories. all that and pitching better than anyone else. >> he was thinking about writing as a second career not that long ago. just wrote a r very, very good book. he's a different kind of guy. mostly because of his failure, so there's almost this literary art to his story, the fact that at age 37, he's finally having success. he's not like your traditional athlete. this bookworm athlete. a knuckle ball is not a reliable pitch, but 11-1. it's not even july. this has been a great story in baseball. >> we'll talk wimbledon next. thank you. appreciate it. >>> th

while tony parker sounds american to me, but i'm not an arizona police officer who would know that jeremy lin was born in los angeles and tony parker, oop, you're up, belgium, once again. if these two justices step out to starbucks, which one do you think is likeliest to be a suspect? the anglo male or the latina? neither is an imgrnlt, but justice scalia's father came through ellis island from italy, and soto mior is has puerto rican ancestors. the point is simple, the idea that any government official can determine who belongs in america and who doesn't by looking them is ridiculous, unfair, and un-american, and yet this ubsursty is the law of arizona. >> illinois congressman luis gutierrez joining us on the ed show, scoring high, showing and illustrating absurdity in the immigration laws in arizona and in this country. congressman, why is justin bieber the face of the immigration debate right now? >> because he's on my 9-year-old grandson's ipod, and we did some research into what it is to young people. we wanted to make sure we did this from a generational perspective, too. that's what th

. >> congressman gutierrez also used geraldo rivera, who is from brooklyn, and jeremy lin, who is from l.a., as examples. >>> 5:34 now. a warning for senior citizens in the district this morning. police say a robber is posing as a maintenance man to get inside your homes. want to show you some surveillance video right here from the delta tower senior citizens apartments in northeast. this is a man police are calling a person of interest. investigators say he went upstairs, knocked on a resident's door and said he was there to fix a toilet. once he got inside, he tied up the elderly victim and robbed them. an almost identical incident happened tuesday at a senior residence building in the 1200 block of g street in southeast. >> 94 years old and his son is in the military, and his son came in, was real upset about what happened, you know what i'm saying, to his dad. and i think they're preying on the senior citizens in this building. >> police say residents of senior buildings should call to verify a maintenance person is coming before opening the door to anyone. >>> also want you to tak

jeremy lin and tony parker. clearly lin sounds foreign. while tony parker sounds american to me. but i'm not an arizona police officer who would know that jeremy lin was born in los angeles and tony parker, oops, you're up. belgium, once again. finally, here's just one more, in case the supreme court ever wants to meet in phoenix to consider its ruling about arizona's show-me-your-papers law, if these two justices step out to starbuck's, which one do you think is likely to be a suspect? the angelo male or the latina? neither is an immigrant, but justice scalia's father came through ellis island from italy, and sonia sotomayor is a proud puerto rican with generations of u.s. citizen ancestors. we could play this game all day. but the point is simple. the idea that any government official can determine who belongs in america and who doesn't simply by looking at them is completely ridiculous, unfair, and un-american. and yet this absurdity is the law of arizona. the court signaled it would be watching this law closely, and it should. because we count on the courts to protect our lib

would call serendipity which is you have no interest in sports but by the way, you should know that jeremy linhas just emerged as a phenomenon or something. so that is that serendipity. >> we have a story on the front page today which is gone viral this morning about this guy in maryland who dress up in a batman outfit and drove around in his lamborghini. nobody would know to look for that. but it clearly is working. it is gone viral and is drawing a huge amount of attention. >> you know, you talk about in this luncheon session today, content king and the debate for decades as to who is king, distribution, content and the truth is, and it flows from what you are saying about social media, the consumer is king and technology gives them the armament to become king. basically they choose to lower the prices on books through digital books which is technology that comes along or do free google searches and get news on that. and to say what they like and say what they don't like in the newspaper or use the generated content on youtube. so that is something that we -- and that sometimes collides with
