>> dicky: From hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live."
tonight, keegan-michael key. Isla fisherand music from ingrid
andress. And now, jimmy kimmel!
>> jimmy: Hi, everyone. I'm jimmy, I'm the host of the
show. Thank you very much.
Thank you for watching, thank you for joining us.
You know, the holidays can be a lonely time without being
confined to your home. So it's important to know that
you are not alone. And we are not alone in the
universe. At least that's according to
israel's former head of space security, who's claiming in a
new book that alien beings from outer space have been in contact
with the u.S. And israeli governments for years.
Haim eshed is a retired general and a well-respected professor
in israel. Or at least he was before he
said this. [ laughter ]
he claims these extraterrestrial beings come in peace.
He says they are curious about humanity and are seeking to
understand both "the fabric of the universe," and cotton, the
fabric of our lives. [ laughter ]
eshed claims the president knows about this and was about to
spill the beans, but was asked not to in order to prevent "mass
hysteria." because the last thing
donald trump would ever want to create is mass hysteria.
[ laughter ] [ applause ]
>> jimmy: I don't know. If this was true, trump
definitely would have talked about it.
Or at the very least, he would have done that thing where he
dances around it because he's dying to brag that he knows
something we don't? "do I know about aliens?
Nobody knows more about aliens than me.
Does that mean I've seen them? Who knows?
We'll be making a very big announcement very soon, believe
me." I'm more likely to believe there
are aliens among us than I am to believe donald trump kept quiet
about it. [ laughter ]
he'd be firing off tweets like phaser guns.
"the galactic federation is a total disaster!"
"no one has been tougher on planet zeldar than your favorite
president." "I am hereby calling for a full
and total ban on illegal space aliens from entering the country
until we can figure out what the hell is going on!
Thank you." [ cheers and applause ]
but maybe it is true. Maybe this is the one secret
other than stormy daniels donald trump kept.
Maybe it goes even deeper. Here's a thought.
Not only does trump know about the aliens, to protect the
world, he married off his daughter to one!
[ laughter and laughter ] organism 389, aka the jared
project. And he's marrying his third
favorite son to one too! >> the best is yet to come!
[ laughter ] >> jimmy: According to the
general, the aliens belong to a galactic federation, and have an
underground base on mars where they work alongside american
space personnel. Maybe that's where mike pence
has been for the past three weeks.
[ laughter ] he is very focused on space.
The second in commander of the space force was at space
canaveral where he renamed the place.
>> I'd like to ask the honor guard to step forward.
It is my great honor as your vice president, as chairman of
the national space council, on behalf of president donald
trump, to announce that cape canaveral air force station will
become cape canaveral space force station.
[ laughter ] >> jimmy: This guy's going, uh,
okay, does that mean we'll get a new patch or what?
[ laughter ] the space poodle led his final
meeting of the national space council today, but the star of
that show, in my opinion, was secretary of commerce, wilbur
ross. >> similarly, japan became the
first country to bring back to earth the soil sample from an
astronaut. [ laughter ]
looking ahead -- >> jimmy: Don't look too far
ahead. [ laughter ]
not too far from being a soil sample yourself.
You know, I wonder what will happen to the space force once
joe biden comes in. I mean, I have a feeling it will
be similar to what happened to radio shack.
[ laughter ] and how did mike pence, a guy
who believes that jesus had a pet dinosaur, become our top
authority on science? I mean, he's had quite a run.
To honor this administration's unshakeable promise to totally
imaginary branch of the military, we put together a
loving tribute today to honor mike pence's commitment to
space. >> the time has come to
establish the united states space force.
The united states space force. The united states space force.
Space force. Space force.
>> golf course. >> space force.
>> golf course! [ cheers and applause ]
>> jimmy: I think golf course wins, I don't know.
I hate to see them fight. Meanwhile, recount-dracula is on
the mend. Rudy giuliani claims he's doing
fine, even though everything we've seen from him the past
four years would indicate otherwise.
You can never count him out. If rudy giuliani can survive the
transylvanian epidemic of 1304, he should have no trouble with
this. [ laughter and applause ]
rudy says he's recovering thanks to the same vip cocktail of
experimental drugs they gave to donald trump.
>> the minute I took it, the cocktail, yesterday, I felt 100%
better. >> wow.
>> it works very quickly, wow. >> jimmy: Why aren't we madder
about the fact that rudy and donnie and junior and all the
swamp monsters pretending to be human are getting a special
miracle cure nobody else seems to be able to get?
And why didn't herman cain get that?
He was their friend. Is it like one of those movies
where the black guy gets killed first?
What is going on there? [ laughter ]
doctors at georgetown hospital kept giuliani overnight for
observation. They're still trying to figure
out what caused the weird brown liquid to leak out of his head.
[ laughter ] his release today, they put him
in a car, you can see that car here.
He gave reporters a thumbs up as he drove by.
If all goes well, he should be back screaming outside a dildo
store in no time. [ cheers and applause ]
rudy giuliani doesn't have time to sit around in bed all day, he
has courts to get laughed out of.
[ laughter ] they're calling trump's latest
lawsuit a hail mary, which seems very disrespectful to mary.
It's more of a hail hitler, if you ask me.
La [ laughter ]
hopefully rudy will be back up on his hoofs very soon.
We are on day 36 of squattergate, still no
concession speech. One trump seems to see the
writing on the wall. This is a headline today,
"melania trump just wants to go home."
don't worry, January 20th you are going home.
[ cheers and applause ] her husband keeps telling
everyone to fight because he won the election.
Melania has reportedly been discreetly packing and inquiring
about staff and other arrangements in a post-white
house world. She's also been shipping
personal items back to mar-a-lago and home to their
apartment in new york. Oh, if donald finds out about
that, he is going to have a "ship fit," I tell you.
[ laughter ] here's somebody else who just
wants to go home require mentioned joe exotic, also known
as the "tiger king," is trying to get himself a presidential
pardon. He's serving a 22-year sentence
for attempting to hire a hitman to kill carole baskin, his
nemesis. His plan to get out is none
other than kim kardashian. He wrote a handwritten personal
plea, dear kim k., I'm writing you this letter not as joe
exotic but as the person, joseph maldonado passage.
I hope that's not the strategy they go to trump with.
Not joe exotic. Joe maldonado who?
No pardon, next! But he continues, please help me
by placing a call to president trump to look at my 257-page
pardon, with all the evidence. I'm innocent, ask him sign my
pardon. Then he closes very strong.
He says, will you please help me?
With just a phone call, no one even has to know you did it.
[ laughter ] well, now we do, I guess.
If there's, I don't know, a single sentence that sums up
2020, to me it's joe exotic asks kim kardashian to help him get a
pardon from donald trump. [ laughter ]
[ applause ] kim kardashian is apparently a
fan of "tiger king." she dressed up as carole baskin
for Halloween, which I'm not sure if that helps joe's chances
or hurts them. [ laughter ]
this could be something between kim and her father.
Imagine if the kardashian family got the "tiger king" and o.J.
Off the hook. I mean --
[ laughter ] can you imagine that?
>> guillermo: Wow, that would be crazy.
>> jimmy: Wouldn't that be something?
Yeah. [ laughter ]
christmas is going to be difficult for santa with the
covid and all this year, so to help him out, guillermo and I
broke out the elf costumes and we did some house calls online
to ask kids if they've been naughty this year or nice.
>> jimmy: Hello there. >> guillermo: Hi.
>> jimmy: What's your name? >> hi, owen.
>> jimmy: Hi, owen, I'm elf jimmy, this is elf guillermo.
We work for santa claus. We're up at the north pole right
now. >> that's cool.
>> jimmy: Are you excited about christmas?
>> yeah. >> jimmy: Oh, I bet you are.
Christmas is so much fun, right? How old are you?
>> 4. >> jimmy: 4 years old.
I was 4 once. >> guillermo: Me too, longtime
ago. >> jimmy: Remember that?
>> guillermo: I remember. >> jimmy: You know what I loved
when I was 4 years old? >> what?
>> jimmy: Stories about the war. [ laughter ]
tell us about you. Have you been naughty or nice
this year? >> most of the time I'm pretty
nice. >> jimmy: What nice things have
you done? >> I've been kissing my brother,
and I've been -- he kind of crawls like this.
>> jimmy: Uh-huh. >> he kind of crawls, and I --
I've been very nice by playing with him, and I've been
crawling, I've been crawling with him.
>> jimmy: It sounds like you're a very good big brother.
>> are those candy cane pencils? >> jimmy: Candy cane pens, we
write with them. >> I think they look so funny.
[ laughter ] >> jimmy: You like these?
Maybe we'll send you one of these.
What are some of the naughty things you've done this year?
>> sometimes we say "poopy-head."
that's not a very good word. [ laughter ]
>> jimmy: It's not a very good word but it's not a big, huge
deal. Who do you say poopy-head to?
>> my friend at school, teddy. When I next go to school, I'll
say, teddy, stop it, you're not supposed to do that.
[ laughter ] >> jimmy: Yeah.
Does he call you poopy-head? And do you have a poopy head?
No. Does he have a poopy head?
>> not a poopy head, we have poopy butts.
[ laughter ] >> jimmy: That's a very good
point, you do. >> guillermo: You're very smart.
>> jimmy: You should smell guillermo over here.
What do you want for christmas, what can we put on the list for
santa? >> I like blue whales.
>> guillermo: Blue whales, wow. >> jimmy: Do you have a big
bathtub? >> you know why?
Because they're blue. >> jimmy: Yes, it was right in
front of our faces. So where would you keep the blue
whale? >> I'd keep it in a tank.
>> jimmy: Oh, we'll have to get a very big tank, though, right?
Maybe even bigger than your house.
>> no, no. A toy tank.
A toy blue whale, I mean. >> jimmy: Oh my gosh, thank god
you told us. >> guillermo: Oh, wow, you
scared us. >> jimmy: We were going to have
santa bring you a real blue whale.
>> santa doesn't have real animals, he just has toys in his
toy shop. >> jimmy: Every once in a while
a real animal gets in there. >> imagine if a dangerous animal
bit me. >> jimmy: Oh, that would be not
good. >> guillermo: That would be
terrible. >> if it was a very strong bite,
I would die. >> jimmy: Yeah.
Okay, so basically what you want this year is you want a blue
whale. >> yeah.
>> jimmy: Nothing else? >> no, I'd kind of like a lot of
toys. >> jimmy: You want a lot of
toys? Like how many toys would you
like? >> I kind of want too many.
[ laughter ] >> jimmy: Like what number?
>> 100. >> jimmy: 100?
Wow, that's a lot of toys. It will be a lot of toys to
open. That will take you all day.
>> uh -- I'm not going to do that.
How about 10 presents? >> jimmy: 10 presents?
>> guillermo: Okay, 10. >> jimmy: That seems reasonable
to me. >> okay.
>> jimmy: Guess what? We have a present for you today.
>> you have a -- you said you have a present for you today?
>> jimmy: I did say that. >> guillermo: Yeah.
>> jimmy: There it is. You want to open it now or wait
till christmas? >> open it now.
>> jimmy: Okay, go ahead, open it.
>> open it? >> guillermo: I hope you like
it. >> jimmy: Have you lost any
teeth yet? >> no.
>> jimmy: Okay. See what it is.
>> jimmy: You know what those? [ laughter ]
>> what? >> jimmy: They're called
dentures. >> dentures?
>> jimmy: Yeah. If you have those, you don't
have to brush your teeth anymore.
Isn't that fun? >> how do you use these things?
[ laughter ] >> jimmy: Well, once your teeth
fall out, they replace your real teeth.
Exactly. >> guillermo: Yes.
>> jimmy: Good job. Oh, look at that smile.
That's the smile santa loves to see on a child's face.
[ laughter ] merry christmas, owen.
>> guillermo: Merry christmas! >> jimmy: Keep being good, owen,
okay? >> merry christmas!
>> jimmy: Oh, you dropped your dentures.
Soak those in a little polident and you'll be fine.
>> I love them! >> jimmy: Great, we're glad you
love them. >> guillermo: Merry christmas.
>> jimmy: Merry christmas, owen. I hope those aren't used.
>> merry christmas! [ cheers and applause ]
>> jimmy: Thank you, owen. We have a good show for you
tonight. Isla fisher is with us, music
from ingrid andress. Be right back with
keegan-michael key! [ cheers and applause ]
♪ >> jimmy: Welcome back to the
show. Tonight, isla fisher is with us.
Then later, her grammy-nominated album is called "ladylike,"
music from ingrid andris. Tomorrow night, our guests are
emily blunt and kyle chandler, with music from
sturjill simpson. Please join us for that.
Our first guest is a multi-talented performer who has
now worked with both of america's top murphys, eddie and
ryan. The latter directs him as a
singing and dancing high school principal in the all-star cast
of "the prom." it premieres Friday on netflix.
Please say hello to keegan-michael key.
[ cheers and applause ] hey, now, what's happening?
>> hey, everybody, how are you? >> jimmy: How are you?
>> I'm good, jimmy, how are you doing?
>> jimmy: I'm doing well. Where are you right now?
Do you mind me asking? >> I don't mind you asking at
all, my friend. I am on fire island in new york
and it's very -- >> jimmy: I see you said you're
on fire, then you threw island in there.
>> I'm on fire. Island.
Right. I'm in a small family community
on fire island. >> jimmy: Isn't that a summer
community, fire island? >> it is a summer community for
the most part. Lots of people come here from
all over the tri-state area. But there are is residents here
in the wintertime. You know, the island's about 35
miles long, and there's probably, I don't know, 80
families on the whole island. About 200 people on the whole
island. >> jimmy: Really?
>> yeah, there are like workers and construction people that
come build and fix things and lock down the houses for the
winter. Then they go back to long
island, back to the mainland. So it's very secluded, very
peaceful, very beautiful. >> jimmy: And you are locked in
the bathroom, I see? [ laughter ]
>> you can see the ship lathe here?
The toilet's right there. >> jimmy: You grew up in
detroit, correct? >> I did, I grew up in detroit,
michigan. I just said detroit, michigan.
It's so funny. Detroit's one of those cities,
you only have to say the city. I'm not from detroit, new
mexico. [ laughter ]
>> jimmy: There's no confusing it.
Even las vegas, there's a las vegas, new mexico.
>> exactly, right, right. >> jimmy: Where in detroit?
What part of detroit are you from?
>> I grew up as far north in detroit as you can possibly
live. I grew up one block south of 8
mile road. >> jimmy: Right.
>> which is good because it's the one thing everybody knows
about detroit, 8 mile. I know the little street.
Everyone's like, detroit? 8 mile?
Eminem! [ laughter ]
>> jimmy: It was just like a normal little kind of
neighborhood community, right? >> it really was.
There were times when people would -- friends from the
suburbs would drop me off at home and go, this is a nice
suburb. I'm like, no, no, you're in the
city. Oh, what?
It was like they were in shangri-la, they couldn't
believe it. A very nice, diverse
neighborhood, it was great. >> jimmy: Because of the movie,
then 8 mile, I don't know, it seems like it would be a tough
area. >> yeah, I mean, it was -- let's
say it was semi-spicy where I lived.
[ laughter ] semi-spicy.
I would say you kind of had to keep your head on half a swivel.
Just over your left shoulder. I mean, I had a bunch of
neighborhood kids I lived around, we had a wonderful time.
We had a field, if you can believe, a natural, empty field,
like a lot, at the end of our block.
And I used to play baseball and football and soccer in this
field. And very often when I would be
in the outfield, right by the street, by the road, we had --
we actually had an audience for the game.
There were prostitutes who would watch us play baseball.
[ laughter ] >> jimmy: Wow.
>> there were prostitutes that would literally were like, "you
got it, baby. He can't hit.
He can't hit for power. You gonna catch the ball, you
just have to play a little bit, move in a little bit.
I don't understand, you so rangy, you should probably be
the shortstop. Evangeline, look how athletic
this childs." I would ask my mom why the
ladies standing on the streets, why their pants were so short.
>> jimmy: They're cheerleaders, honey.
>> cheerleaders. >> jimmy: Did you actually do
any professional acting in detroit?
Or did that happen after you moved?
>> no, I did. I did my first job ever on
screen in detroit. Technically, it was in pontiac,
michigan. >> jimmy: Ah.
>> yes, which people -- some people have heard of.
You know the car, the pontiac. >> jimmy: Sure.
>> named after the town. No, it was named after the
indian chief. But I was in a movie, a small
independent movie called "lunatics."
it starred ted rainy, sam ramey's brother.
From the metro detroit area. An actress by the name of
deborah foreman. And I was an extra.
They had this love scene, having a meaningful conversation, and I
walk right past them. And that was my screen debut in
the movie "lunatics." >> jimmy: Were you good?
You accomplished the task? >> you would have loved my
walking. My walking was so convincing.
[ laughter ] here's what I did.
I have a very special technique, jimmy.
I put one leg in front. >> jimmy: Oh!
>> then put the other leg in front of it.
>> jimmy: Oh. >> then I just kept doing that
till I got through the scene. [ applause ]
>> jimmy: It explains why you were good at sports.
Then did you get to see the movie?
>> I did, I did. I did, I went to a -- I went to
a screening of the movie. And the reason I knew it was me,
because I was wearing the same t-shirt at the screening that I
was in the movie. [ laughter ]
I was like, that's me! See?
The gentleman in the tie dye jimi hendrix t-shirt just walked
briskly and professionally in front of debbie foreman and ted
ramey. >> jimmy: That is really what
you wore? >> yeah.
Oh, yeah. I just knew.
I wasn't trying to steal focus, I just knew that -- they said,
bring your own wardrobe. I was bringing it, jimi hendrix.
I was bringing it. I think I had on jeans,
birkenstocks, and this tie dyed jimi hendrix t-shirt.
>> jimmy: Wow. >> you couldn't miss me.
>> jimmy: We're going to take a break.
Keegan-michael key is with us. His new movie is called "the
prom" premiering Friday on netflix.
We'll be right back. >>> if you want people to like
you instead of hate you, you have to be good, a good person.
You have to put other people's interests before your own.
>> you don't understand. I am a celebrity.
It is all about me. It has been for decades.
That's the point of celebrity. So I have to be reprogrammed.
I have to unlearn things like shoving and taking and --
>> yes. >> I need help with that.
I need a -- teacher. >> jimmy: Oh, well.
That is our teacher. [ cheers and applause ]
meryl streep. Keegan michael key.
Is it weird to see yourself in a scene with meryl streep?
>> it is a little surreal, it is.
I'm like, that's meryl streep! That's me!
What -- how did they -- that is really good, they superimposed
me into a scene with meryl streep!
It even looks like the lines I'm saying are corresponding with
what -- >> jimmy: You do some singing in
this movie. >> I do.
>> jimmy: You're singing in two netflix movies right now.
>> yes, "jingle jangle" and in this movie, "the prom."
then I just finished another tv show where I'm singing.
What's interesting is, this is something I've always liked
doing in my life but I didn't have any idea it was going to
come to this. It's interesting.
I have a number in each one of these projects.
So it's nice. It's like I'm working my way
back in. Not too many numbers, just one
number. Just come in, do my one number,
act the rest of the film. It's been really lovely.
>> jimmy: I would imagine the only thing more nerve-racking
than acting with meryl streep is having to sing in front of her.
>> yeah, yeah, exactly. Well, she's -- here's the thing
about meryl. Every good thing you think about
meryl streep is true. She's just -- she's just like --
she's just as advertised, you know?
She makes you feel really comfortable.
And you just kind of get lost in her, because she wants -- the
thing is, you can see in her eyes, she wants you to do well.
She wants you to do well. >> jimmy: What about eddie
murphy? Who is more intimidating to work
opposite of? >> I got to tell you, it was
definitely eddie. The first day on set I was
sitting in the truck, in the van, and eddie's -- it was a
really -- thank god this happened.
It was eddie's body double. His stand-in was on the truck.
He had sunglasses on. I remember I got into the truck.
My brain I was like, aaghh! Keep it cool, keep it cool, keep
it cool. You're good, it's good.
What's up, man? He was very effusive, roger.
He was like, how you doing, you good?
Then he took his sunglasses off, I realized it wasn't eddie.
[ laughter ] I got all the craziness out
before we got to set. Then we got to set and I'm
sitting there, I just want to geek out.
I just want to ask him questions.
And then we're all sitting there, we're waiting on the
turnaround. Then craig robinson just goes,
"so what's the deal with the 40th anniversary of "Saturday
night live," what happened there?"
I'm like, what are you doing? Then eddie very graciously
answered all of our questions about that.
And so it took me about a week before I got up the courage to
ask him a question about himself.
>> jimmy: I see. >> like where did you grow up?
All this stuff. Then he started just offering
stories. So it was great, it was great,
it was really lovely. >> jimmy: You guys have
actually -- weirdly, you and eddie kind of have the same
story in that you started on the sketch comedy shows doing
characters that are -- that were unusual to see done.
>> yeah, yeah, that's true. >> jimmy: What's the most
obscure imitation or impression that you do?
>> it's a toss-up. >> jimmy: Okay.
>> okay. Between gregory sierra, who
played julio on "sanford and son."
>> jimmy: I'd love to hear that, I love "sanford and son."
>> what are you doing, mr. Sanford?
Good to see you! [ laughter ]
we're going out tonight, we're going to party down, come home,
see you later, do you want to come with us, mr. Sanford?
You better shut up! [ laughter ]
>> jimmy: That's good. >> you know, just like, come on,
mr. Sanford, don't be like that! Gregory sierra.
And the other one is quad chang kang from "kung fu" played by
david carradine. Which is really a very simple,
easy -- such your inner serenity and then, all you have to do is
speak like this. But his big catch phrase was
always, "I mean you no harm." every episode of "kung fu."
david carradine is surrounded by 16 roughneck cowboys, you don't
belong here! I'll say the proper term.
You don't belong here, asian american!
>> jimmy: Uh-huh, yeah. [ laughter ]
>> then, I mean you no harm. Then he'd pick up a stick.
My dad and I would be like, here we go!
[ applause ] >> jimmy: It's great to see you,
keegan-michael. Thanks for being with us.
Have a great holiday. "the prom" premieres Friday on
netflix. Keegan-michael key, everybody!
[ cheers and applause ] >> take care, everybody.
>> jimmy: Stay tuned for isla fisher.
>> jimmy: Hi, welcome back. Isla fisher and music from
ingrid andress coming up. It's Wednesday night.
That means it's time to show you some of the most fascinating
items I store in the back of my car.
It's time for "trunk junk." [ cheers and applause ]
all right. So this is fascinating.
This is a lug wrench that I use to change a tire when I have a
flat. You know why they call it a lug
wrench? I was just asking, actually, I
don't know. [ laughter ]
this is a meatball sub I forgot to eat.
And this is, oh, this is a big bucket of allergy medicine I
keep in my trunk just in case I have to pet something.
>> guillermo: Stop, jimmy, stop! >> jimmy: What's up, guillermo?
>> guillermo: This is a trunk junk intervention!
[ cheers and applause ] >> guillermo: You don't need to
keep a bucket of medicine in your trunk.
>> jimmy: I don't? >> guillermo: No, you don't.
You should use the my walgreens app to help with all the
specific health needs that makes jimmy jimmy.
>> jimmy: Oh. Can jimmy use it to order
medicine? >> guillermo: Of course jimmy
can. >> jimmy: Can jimmy talk to a
farm is it, and can they have jimmy's order ready in as little
as 30 minutes? >> guillermo: Whatever jimmy
needs. >> jimmy: Can the app alert
jimmy when the pollen counts are high in his area?
>> guillermo: You bet, jimmy, look!
[ laughter ] >> jimmy: Oh, wow.
Thank you, guillermo. Thank you for protecting me on
the outside and on the inside. >> guillermo: Just doing my job,
chief. >> jimmy: I'm over here.
>> guillermo: Oh. >> dicky: Join my walgreens for
free today to shop, save, and stay well.
[ cheers and applause ] ♪
>> jimmy: Welcome back to the show.
Music from ingrid andress is on the way.
Our next guest is a scottish-australian or
scotstralian actress, author and bride of borat.
Her new movie is called "godmothered."
you can see it on disney plus. Please say hello to isla fisher.
[ cheers and applause ] hi, isla.
>> hi, jimmy! >> jimmy: You look great, how
are you doing? >> thank you, I love you call me
bride of borat. >> jimmy: That is what you are,
whether you like it or not. How is old borat doing?
He took my pants. Last time he was on the show, he
made me strip down to my underwear and he took my pants
home. >> yeah, welcome to my life.
[ laughter ] >> jimmy: Tomorrow night is
hanukkah, the beginning of hanukkah, are you ready?
Have you begun? >> yeah.
I mean, this time of the year, it's a combo of christmas and
hanukkah. We're lucky this year, we have
hanukkah starting early. Sometimes when hanukkah runs
into christmas, you know, it becomes a bit of a fire hazard.
If the menorah takes out a christmas stocking, or you drop
a dreidel into the christmas pudding.
[ laughter ] this time we've got a smooth
transition. We got our eight days of
hanukkah, then it's christmas. >> jimmy: Then you have another
twist, you grew up in australia where our summer is their
winter. So their winter is summer there.
So it's warm on christmas. >> christmas day is the biggest
beach day of the year. It's always super hot.
People go down for a swim. You barbecue seafood.
>> jimmy: Wow. >> it's the opposite of the
traditional turkey roast. We're having fun in the sun.
>> jimmy: Then do you build a snowman on July 4th?
How does that go? [ laughter ]
>> no, we barbecue, beach, and beer.
>> jimmy: That's good, all right.
May I ask, we're talking about your husband.
Because he's a fascinating man. I wonder what it is like to be
married to him. When he is making a film like
the borat subsequent movie film he just made, which is
hilarious, how involved are you in that process and do you know
what's going on? >> well, you know, luckily,
jimmy, he doesn't really tell me when he's going to do the
super-dangerous stuff until he's done it.
So, you know, it's not a normal question of, did you pick up the
dry cleaning? What did you shoot today?
It's like, luckily he'll say, yeah, we went to a gun rally.
Or, I was almost arrested. But I don't really hear, you
know -- I don't really have to worry about it.
But I do -- I like to be involved.
I watch all the cuts of the movie.
>> jimmy: You do? >> I'm sure my husband would
tell you I get too opinionated. >> jimmy: Do you?
>> in this latest borat one, in the debutante ball scene that I
found so funny, it's my favorite joke.
I was so attached to it. It was in the foreign cut, it
was in all the cuts. Finally when it comes to the
last minute in the edit, he takes it out.
And I was like, babes, you've got to put this joke back in,
this is so funny, it's my favorite joke.
He's explaining to me for the pathos that it's important
there's not a joke in this moment, he didn't feel the joke
was that original. I'm like getting more and more
het up. I'm never going to speak to you!
Somehow I ended up saying the phrase, I won't speak to you
again unless you put this joke back in!
He cut it out. And we're still married.
>> jimmy: He did not put the joke back in?
>> he did not put the joke in. [ laughter ]
you know what? Looking back, he was right.
Now that I've seen it, I think it works.
It's smoother. It does make another joke work
even more. You know what it's like.
>> jimmy: I see. >> sometimes you go for a
chuckle when you need to wait and get a big laugh.
>> jimmy: Yes, that's right. Do you ever visit on the set, or
no? >> I did.
I did, I remember, the last time I visited was "bruno."
and I was like just looking forward to a happy day on set,
brought lunch for my hubs. And I show up.
It's not even a set, you know, it's a truck in a parking lot.
And I get there, and over the walkie-talkie I sort of hear
muffled voices. Then the police.
The police are coming, get out out!
He's going, he's gone, get security!
He takes off, the police are after him, then we take off in
this van -- yeah, I never went back again.
[ laughter ] >> jimmy: So your new movie is
"godmothered." it's a take on the fairy
godmother. Is it about a specific
fairytale? Or is it just about the
character, the fairy godmother herself?
>> it's about the fairy godmother.
And she's this sort of inexperienced godmother played
by jillian bell. I'm playing a single mom who is
grieving the loss of her husband, just trying to kind of
work in a dead-end -- a job that's not creatively
satisfying. She comes along and helps me to
learn that, you know, not to take all the blessings I have
fob granted, and that happily ever after doesn't have to
include -- I sort of teach her, happily ever after doesn't have
to include a dress and a prince and a castle, and that actually
it's an individual thing. And that we should be grateful
for what we have. It's a really sweet christmas
movie. >> jimmy: That's a lesson I've
been trying to teach guillermo and he doesn't listen to me at
all. I say, you don't have to go all
out with all these frills and everything.
Do you have a godmother? Is that a thing that goes on in
australia, godmother, godfather? >> yeah, people do have kind
of -- yeah people do, I think. I mean, I had a godmother, she
gave me a ventriloquist doll when I was a kid.
As a result, I was able to speak with my mouth closed, which
helped in school. I was able to --
>> jimmy: Wow, really? >> was able to gossip with my
mates without getting kicked out.
[ laughter ] >> jimmy: A charli mccarthy
doll? >> a little one, I got it when I
was about 4. I spent most of my childhood
talking through this doll. [ laughter ]
>> jimmy: My godmother is my aunt chippy, who, first of all,
she taught us to smoke. [ laughter ]
I'm trying to think, what else? Oh, she taught us how to play
video poker. [ laughter ]
she was more of a scary godmother than a fairy god
mother. But you understand.
>> yeah, did you appoint her, or your parents chose her?
>> jimmy: Well, I was just a baby, so I wasn't really in
charge of anything. My mother, she's my mother's
sister, so my mother selected aunt chippy to be my fairy --
not my fairy godmother. [ laughter ]
she also wears fake eyelashes, which are the equivalent of
wings in some ways. [ laughter ]
>> sounds good. >> jimmy: Well, I wish you a
happy holiday. I wish sasha a happy holiday,
the whole family. "godmothered" is the movie.
