TONIGHT, JULIANNA MARGULIES. DANIEL DAY KIM.
AND MUSIC FROM AMETHYST KIAH.
AND NOW, JIMMY KIMMEL!
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Jimmy: HI, THERE. I'M JIMMY, I'M THE HOST OF THE
SHOW. THANK YOU FOR WATCHING. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US IN
SUNNY LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA WHERE THINGS ARE LOOKING JUST A
LITTLE BIT BRIGHTER EVERY DAY. THINGS ARE GETTING BACK TO
ABNORMAL.
[ LAUGHTER ]
WE'RE FINALLY BACK TO ADMINISTERING MORE SHOTS OF
BOTOX THAN THE VACCINE.
[ LAUGHTER ]
WHICH IS GREAT. WE HAVE OFFICIALLY ENTERED WHAT
THE STATE CALLS THE YELLOW TIER. UNFORTUNATELY, ANYONE WHO HAS
EVER DRIVEN IN L. A. KNOWS NOBODY SLOWS DOWN FOR YELLOW.
[ LAUGHTER ]
SAUNAS AND STEAM ROOMS ARE ALLOWED TO RE‐OPEN. AS OF TODAY.
THREE MONTHS AGO, WE WERE DOUBLE‐GLOVING IT AT THE ATM,
WHO THE HELL IS GETTING A BOX OF STEAM WITH STRANGERS RIGHT NOW?
[ LAUGHTER ]
BARS CAN NOW SERVE DRINKS WITHOUT HAVING TO SERVE FOOD.
WHICH IS GREAT NEWS FOR ALCOHOLICS WHO WERE GETTING VERY
FAT.
[ LAUGHTER ]
BY THE WAY, AFTER ALL THE TALK OF HOW UNNECESSARY THE SHUTDOWNS
WERE, STATE OF CALIFORNIA HAS THE LOWEST POSITIVITY RATE IN
THE COUNTRY BY FAR.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
FLORIDA, WELL, THEY DIDN'T CLOSE DOWN, FLORIDA RANKS 44th.
THE AVERAGE TEST POSITIVITY RATE HERE IN L. A. IS 0.7%.
THE WAY THINGS ARE GOING, IF COVID WANTS TO STAY IN
HOLLYWOOD, IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO START DOING IMPROV.
[ LAUGHTER ]
YOU KNOW, THIS IS INTERESTING. YOU KNOW WHAT'S BEEN ‐‐ HAS BEEN
IN DECLINE IN A BIG WAY DURING THE PANDEMIC? SHOWERS.
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN BATHING LESS DURING LOCKDOWN.
IN FACT, THE NEW YORK TIMES HAD A STORY ABOUT THIS AND INCLUDED
ONE OF THE ODDEST CAPTIONS I'VE SEEN PRINTED IN A NEWSPAPER.
"ROBIN HARPER OUTSIDE HER HOME ON MARTHA'S VINEYARD.
SHE SAID SHE BEGAN TAKING SHOWERS ONCE A WEEK DURING THE
PANDEMIC." HEY, MOM, I'M IN THE "NEW YORK
TIMES"! OH, WOW, FOR WHAT? NOT WASHING MY ASS!
[ LAUGHTER ]
SOME DOCTORS SAY DAILY SHOWERS ARE UNNECESSARY AND ACTUALLY
COUNTERPRODUCTIVE WHEN IT COMES TO OVERALL HEALTH.
THESE ARE THE DOCTORS WHO DON'T GET INVITED TO THE OFFICE
CHRISTMAS PARTY.
[ LAUGHTER ]
OH, I THINK I'M DEVELOPING THE COVID RIGHT NOW.
NO, I'M OKAY, ALL RIGHT.
[ LAUGHTER ]
ANOTHER PANDEMIC BODY TREND IS A PUZZLER.
AMERICANS ARE GETTING MORE BUTT IMPLANTS THAN EVER BEFORE.
BUTT IMPLANTS WERE UP 22% LAST YEAR.
PEOPLE WHO WEREN'T GOING TO THE DOCTOR TO GET ANYTHING DONE,
THEY'RE GETTING BIG PADS IMPLANTED INTO THEIR BUTTS.
AND THEY'RE ALSO SELLING A LOT OF THESE BUTT‐LIFT LEGGINGS.
I GUESS THEY'VE BEEN ALL OVER TIKTOK OR MAYBE THAT'S JUST MY
ALGORITHM. I DON'T KNOW.
[ LAUGHTER ]
THEY SELL THEM ON AMAZON. GUILLERMO, I HEARD A STORY ABOUT
YOU. IS IT TRUE? YOU PLAY THE LOTTERY EVERY WEEK?
>> Guillermo: EVERY WEEK.
>> Jimmy: YOU SAID IF YOU WON, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
>> Guillermo: IF I WIN THE POWERBALL, TWO THINGS I WOULD DO.
>> Jimmy: GO AHEAD.
>> Guillermo: MY WIFE MAKE FUN BECAUSE I HAVE A FLAT BUTT, I
HAVE NO ASS. I WOULD PUT A NEW BUTT.
AND A TUMMY TUCK.
>> Jimmy: OKAY, MAYBE JUST HAVE YOUR STOMACH PUT AROUND YOUR
BEHIND. YOU KNOW?
>> Guillermo: WELL, THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.
>> Jimmy: THANK YOU.
[ LAUGHTER ]
I DON'T LIKE THE SOUND OF THAT. SO WE GOT GUILLERMO SOME OF
THOSE AMAZON BUTT LIFT LEGGINGS GO AHEAD SHOW THEM OFF.
SHOW US WHAT YOU HAVE NOW. THIS IS THE REAL PRODUCT.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
WE ORDERED IT. LOOK AT THAT. WOW. YOUR WIFE'S GOING TO GO CRAZY
WHEN SHE GETS ‐‐
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
THAT'S REALLY GREAT. HOW DO YOU SAY "JUNK IN THE
TRUNK" IN ESPAÑOL?
[ SPEAKING SPANISH ]
>> Jimmy: OH, ALL RIGHT.
[ LAUGHTER ]
I'M GONNA START CALLING YOU "G‐LO."
[ LAUGHTER ]
BE CAREFUL ON THAT STOOL. WEAR THOSE HOME, OKAY?
>> Guillermo: I WILL, I PROMISE.
>> Jimmy: OH, I BET YOU WILL.
[ LAUGHTER ]
CAITLYN JENNER TWO WEEKS AGO, YOU KNOW WHO THIS IS?
>> Guillermo: YEAH, I KNOW, YEAH.
>> Jimmy: SHE HAS LAUNCHED HER CAMPAIGN TO BE NEXT GOVERNOR OF
CALIFORNIA. AND LAST NIGHT SHE SAT DOWN FOR
WHAT THEY CALLED A "TOWN HALL" WIT SEAN HANNITY.
THERE WAS NO TOWN AND NO HALL, BUT THERE WAS SEAN HANNITY
PRETENDING TO BE INTERESTED IN CAITLYN'S TAKE ON A VARIETY OF
SUBJECTS, INCLUDING DONALD TRUMP. BLE AFFECTION FOR
>> I THINK HE DID SOME THINGS I AGREE WITH, SOME THINGS I DIDN'T
AGREE WITH. WHAT I LIKED ABOUT DONALD TRUMP
IS HE WAS A DISRUPTER. YOU KNOW? HE CAME IN AND SHOOK THE SYSTEM
UP. OKAY?
>> Jimmy: UH‐HUH, OKAY?
[ LAUGHTER ]
HE SHOOK THE SYSTEM SO HARD, HE LOST CUSTODY OF IT.
[ LAUGHTER ]
CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES HAD TO COME IN, STOPPING HIM FROM
SHAKING THE SYSTEM. AND THEN THIS IS HOW WELL
CAITLYN JENNER UNDERSTANDS THE PLIGHT OF EVERYDAY CALIFORNIANS.
FIRST OF ALL, SHE MENTIONS THIS AIRPLANE SHE FLIES MULTIPLE
TIMES. THEY HAD THE "TOWN HALL" IN HER
OWN AIRPLANE HANGAR. AND THIS APPARENTLY IS WHERE SHE
HAS BEEN LISTENING TO HER FUTURE CONSTITUENTS.
>> THE GUY ACROSS WAS PACKING UP HIS HANGAR, I SAID, WHERE YOU
GOING? HE SAYS, I'M MOVING TO SEDONA,
ARIZONA, I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE, I CAN'T WALK DOWN THE
STREETS AND SEE THE HOMELESS.
>> Jimmy: OH, HOMELESS PEOPLE, CAN'T WALK AROUND 'EM, CAN'T FLY
OVER 'EM, YOU KNOW?
[ LAUGHTER ]
SINCE TRANS PHOBIC TO CALL A TRANS PERSON AN IGNORANT A‐HOLE?
OR DOES CALLING THAT TRANS PERSON AN IGNORANT A‐HOLE, EVEN
THOUGH SHE HAPPENS TO BE A TRANS PERSON, SHOW WE DON'T
DISCRIMINATE AGAINST IGNORANT A‐HOLES NO MATTER THEIR GENDER
ORIENTATION? IT'S A TOUGH ONE, I DON'T KNOW,
I GUESS WE'LL LET THE INTERNET DECIDE TOMORROW.
[ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE ]
TODAY, BY THE WAY IS NATIONAL NURSES DAY.
THE DAY ON WHICH WE SAY THANK TO ALL THE NURSES IN THE
COUNTRY, IN OUR LIVES.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
AND ALSO SORRY THAT WE STOPPED BANGING POTS FOR YOU EVERY NIGHT.
[ LAUGHTER ]
AND SUNDAY IS THE DAY WE HONOR THE WOMEN WHO LITERALLY NURSED
US. MOTHER'S DAY IS SUNDAY. WILL YOU BE SEEING YOUR
MOTHER‐IN‐LAW ON SUNDAY?
>> Guillermo: YES, JIMMY.
>> Jimmy: YOU WILL?
>> Guillermo: YEAH, I HAVE NO CHOICE.
>> Jimmy: WILL YOU WEAR THE PANTS?
>> Guillermo: OH, YEAH, YEAH. TWO TEQUILA SHOTS, YES, OF
COURSE.
[ LAUGHTER ]
♪
>> Jimmy: THIS WILL TURN THE THINGS AROUND BETWEEN THE TWO OF
YOU.
>> Guillermo: OH, MY GOD!
>> Jimmy: MOTHER'S DAY GOES BACK WELL OVER 100 YEARS.
IN 1908, A WOMAN NAMED ANNA JARVIS FROM GRAFTON, WEST
VIRGINIA, DECLARED THE FIRST MOTHER'S DAY IN THE UNITED
STATES. IT CAUGHT ON TO THE POINT WHERE
SHE EVENTUALLY BECAME DISGUSTED WITH THE COMMERCIALIZATION OF
MOTHER'S DAY AND URGED PEOPLE TO STOP BUYING FLOWERS, CARDS AND
CANDIES. AND LIKE A BUNCH OF UNRULY KIDS,
WE DIDN'T LISTEN TO HER AT ALL, WE KEEP BUYING CANDIES.
YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LIMITED SUPPLY OF FLOWERS THIS YEAR
BECAUSE OF COVID. HERE IN CALIFORNIA, A LOT OF
GROWERS SWITCHED TO GROWING POT. NOT A JOKE.
[ LAUGHTER ]
WE DON'T HAVE ANY FLOWERS. THE GOOD NEWS IS MOM IS REALLY
GOING TO ENJOY BRUNCH THIS YEAR.
[ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE ]
YOU KNOW, A LOT OF MEN, WHETHER THEY BE HUSBANDS, SONS, ET
CETERA, DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO FOR THEIR WIVES AND/OR MOTHERS
FOR MOTHER'S DAY. SO TO HELP WITH THAT MY WIFE HAS
VOLUNTEERED TO LET YOU KNOW WHAT SHE RECOMMENDS.
AND HERE NOW WITH SOME SAGE MOTHER'S DAY ADVICE, PLEASE
WELCOME MY WIFE AND MOTHER TO SOME OF MY CHILDREN, MOLLY.
MOLLY?
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
GO AHEAD.
>> HI. HI, IF YOU'RE WONDERING WHAT TO
DO FOR MOTHER'S DAY, THE ANSWER IS, GO AWAY.
[ LAUGHTER ]
WHAT MOST MOMS WANT ON MOTHER'S DAY, FOR ONE DAY, IS TO NOT BE A
MOTHER. LET ME PUT IT TO YOU LIKE THIS.
IF IT WERE COAL MINER APPRECIATION DAY, YOU WOULDN'T
CLIMB DOWN INTO A MINE, HAND YOUR FAVORITE COAL MINE AREA
MIMOSA AND A FRAME MADE OF NOODLES AND SAY, THANKS FOR
EVERYTHING YOU DO, NOW GET BACK TO DOING IT.
[ LAUGHTER ]
IF YOU WANT TO SHOW APPRECIATION, FOR ALL OUR
TIRELESS, THANKLESS, RELENTLESS WORK IN A JOB WE CAN NEVER QUIT
THAT PAYS ZERO DOLLARS, NOT ONLY STRETCHED OUR STOMACHS LIKE
WATER BALLOONS AND MADE THE INSIDES OF OUR CARS AS STICKY AS
THE LITTLE HANDS THAT ARE ALWAYS PULLING ON OUR PANTS, HAND THAT
WOMAN THAT MIMOSA. GET HER A MASSAGE AND SAY, I SEE
THAT YOU NEVER LEAVE THE HOUSE WITHOUT A PURSE FULL OF PIRATES
BOOTY.
[ LAUGHTER ]
YOU KNOW EVERY TEACHER, EVERY CLASSMATE, EVERY CLASSMATE'S
PARENT. YOU KNOW SHOE SIZES AND THE
FLAVOR TOOTHPASTE THEY LIKE AND THE SHIRT THAT HAS THE ITCHY TAG
THAT THEY DON'T LIKE. YOU KNOW WHICH WORKSHEETS NEED
TO BE PRINTED FOR ZOOM SCHOOL AND HOW TO GET GOGURT OUT OF
HUMAN HAIR. TWICE.
[ LAUGHTER ]
I KNOW YOU ARE TIRED AND HAVEN'T HAD A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP OR
FINISHED A MEAL OR A BOOK IN SEVEN YEARS. OR SAT ON A TOILET
UNINTERRUPTED.
[ LAUGHTER ]
BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT YOU LOVE THIS JOB, AND YOU DO IT
INCREDIBLY WELL, IF I DO SAY SO MYSELF.
[ LAUGHTER ]
AND EVEN THOUGH WE NEVER SAY IT, WE APPRECIATE YOU. I SEE YOU.
I'LL SEE YOU AFTER I PUT THE KIDS TO BED. EAT A GUMMY.
WATCH A RYAN GOSLING MOVIE. GOOD‐BYE.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Jimmy: THANKS, MOLLY. I'LL SEE YOU A MONDAY, I GUESS.
>> SEE YOU.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Jimmy: YOU DROPPED YOUR ‐‐ ALL RIGHT.
WE SENT A CAMERA, A MOTHER'S DAY CAMERA ‐‐ VERY SPECIAL CAMERAS.
[ LAUGHTER ]
WE USE THEM ONCE A YEAR. WE GOT THIS CAMERA.
IT WAS EXPENSIVE, BY THE WAY. WE SENT IT TO THE FARMERS'
MARKET TO CHAT WITH MOMS AND THEIR KIDS.
AND BECAUSE EVERYONE IS WEARING MASKS WE WERE ABLE TO SWAP THEIR
INVOICES SO THAT THE QUESTIONS THAT ARE ANSWERED AREN'T
NECESSARILY FROM THE PERSON WHO ANSWERED THE QUESTION IN WHAT
MAY BE ONE OF OUR LAST‐EVER EDITIONS OF "MASKING QUESTIONS."
>> MOTHER'S DAY IS COMING UP. LET ME ASK YOU, NATHAN, WHAT
WOULD BE YOUR PERFECT DAY?
>> A DAY OFF OF WORK. VERY GOOD BRUNCH.
BECAUSE BRUNCH IS MY FAVORITE MEAL. WITH THE NICE MIMOSA.

EXPERIENCE PLAYING ONE ON "E. R." YOU KNOW HER FROM "THE GOOD
WIFE," AND NOW HER NEW MEMOIR, "SUNSHINE GIRL: AN UNEXPECTED
LIFE" SAY HELLO TO JULIANNA MARGULIES.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
HI, JULIANNA, HOW ARE YOU?
>> HI, I'M GOOD, HOW ARE YOU?
>> Jimmy: GOOD TO SEE YOU, HOW'S IT GOING?
>> IT'S GOING WELL ON THIS NATIONAL NURSES DAY.
>> Jimmy: IS IT APPROPRIATE FOR ME TO WISH YOU A HAPPY NATIONAL
NURSES DAY?
>> SO HERE'S THE BEAUTY OF LIVING IN NEW YORK CITY.
AND IT IS APPROPRIATE. SORT OF. BECAUSE I DID REPRESENT NURSES,
RIGHT?
>> Jimmy: TRUE, TRUE.
>> AND I WAS PROUD TO DO THAT. I WAS WALKING HOME TODAY, AND I
SAW MAYBE 30 NURSES DANCING IN
THE SQUARE RIGHT AT GREENWICH
STREET AND SEVENTH AVENUE, MUSING BLARING, FILMING THIS
GREAT DANCE I GUESS FOR SOME NBC SHOW.
>> Jimmy: UH‐HUH.
>> THEY ENDED, EVERYBODY CLAPPED.
AND I THOUGHT, IT'S NATIONAL NURSES DAY, I PLAYED NURSE
HATHAWAY, AND I DID SOMETHING I'VE NEVER, EVER IN A MILLION
YEARS DREAMED I'D EVER DO. I WALKED RIGHT INTO THE MIDDLE
OF ALL OF THEM AND SAID, "I'M NURSE HATHAWAY!"
[ LAUGHTER ]
"I WAS ON E. R., I REPRESENTED YOU PEOPLE!"
OF COURSE I DIDN'T REALIZE ‐‐ I HAD MY MASK ON, A STRAW HAT, IT
WAS SUNNY. "OH, WAIT, I'M VACCINATED, I'VE
BEEN DOUBLE VAXED, I'M VACCINATED."
I TOOK MY MASK OFF AND THEY FREAKED OUT AND WE STARTED
DANCING AND TAKING PICTURES AND THEY FILMED IT.
I THOUGHT, ONLY IN NEW YORK.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Jimmy: THAT'S PRETTY GREAT, YEAH.
>> IT WAS A GREAT MOMENT, I HAVE TO SAY.
>> Jimmy: THAT'S LIKE ‐‐ YOU REMEMBER GEORGE REEVES WHO
PLAYED SUPERMAN, IN HIS OLD AGE, WOULD DRESS UP AS SUPERMAN AND
WALK AROUND?
[ LAUGHTER ]
I THINK HE JUMPED OUT THE WINDOW OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT?
>> DID HE REALLY?
>> Jimmy: YEAH, I THINK SO. GUILLERMO, WILL YOU DO A FACT
CHECK ON THAT FOR ME?
>> Guillermo: YEAH, I WILL.
>> Jimmy: OKAY, GREAT, ALL RIGHT.
I JUST WANTED TO SEE YOUR BUTT AGAIN, IF YOU WOULD SCAMPER
OFF ‐‐ OKAY THERE YOU GO. FIRST OF ALL, CONGRATULATIONS ON
YOUR BOOK. I KNOW THIS SORT OF THING IS A
LOT OF WORK AND PROBABLY EMOTIONALLY DRAINING.
IT'S CALLED "SUNSHINE GIRL," WHICH WAS GOING TO BE THE TITLE
OF MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY.
[ LAUGHTER ]
I'M A LITTLE BIT ‐‐ WHY IS IT CALLED "SUNSHINE GIRL"?
DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT YOU WERE LOOKING AT IN THIS PHOTOGRAPH?
>> YES, I CAN ANSWER BOTH THOSE QUESTIONS, JIMMY.
IT'S CALLED "SUNSHINE GIRL" BECAUSE THAT WAS THE NICK NAME
MY MOTHER GAVE ME WHEN I WAS BORN AND STUCK WITH ME
THROUGHOUT MY CHILDHOOD. AND IT'S BOTH A BLESSING AND A
CURSE, BEING A SUNSHINE GIRL. BECAUSE YOU GROW UP THINKING YOU
CAN ONLY BRING SUNSHINE INTO A ROOM, THEN YOU DON'T KNOW YOUR
BOUNDARIES OR YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO SAY NO.
SO IT WAS BOTH A BLESSING AND A CURSE.
AND I TALK A LOT ABOUT THAT. THE PICTURE, AS A MATTER OF
FACT ‐‐ THAT WAS AWHILE AGO. ON A PHOTO SHOOT I DID WITH A
PHOTOGRAPHER NAMED ROBERT TRACKTONBERG.
IT WAS A WEEKEND SOMEWHERE IN SAN FRANCISCO, SOME SPA.
THEY HAD DONE PICTURES WITH HAIR, MAKEUP, WHATEVER.
AT THE END OF THE SHOOT I WENT UPSTAIRS, TOOK A SHOWER, WASHED
THE MAKEUP OFF, AND CAME DOWNSTAIRS IN MY OWN BIG, BAGGY
TURTLENECK AND MY HAIR SLICKED BACK WITH NO MAKEUP ON AND HE
SAID, "THAT'S WHAT I WANTED." HE AND I, WITHOUT ANYONE
KNOWING, WENT OUT BACK AND WE TOOK PICTURES OF ME WITH NO
MAKEUP AND NO HAIR DONE. AND THAT WAS ONE OF THE PICTURES
THAT CAME OUT. AND I THINK IT'S ME SAYING,
THANK GOD.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: YEAH THAT'S A GREAT SHOT, THAT'S A GREAT STORY TOO.
[ APPLAUSE ]
THIS IS ALSO ‐‐ THIS IS REALLY CRAZY, SPEAKING OF FAMOUS
PHOTOGRAPHERS. ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS, HELMUD
NEWTON, TOOK THIS PICTURE OF YOU, THIS IS BEFORE YOU WERE
FAMOUS. YOU WERE ‐‐ REALLY, THIS IS NOT
A SETUP SHOT, YOU WERE REALLY WORKING AS A WAITRESS.
WHERE WERE YOU A WAITER IN THIS SHOT?
>> I WAS A WAITRESS, AND THERE'S A WHOLE CHAPTER IN THE BOOK
ABOUT IT, AT A REALLY "IN" RESTAURANT, A HOT SPOT CALLED
150 WORCESTER. HELMUD NEWTON WAS SITTING AT A
TABLE. HE WASN'T AT MY TABLE, ACTUALLY.
HE WAS SITTING AT A TABLE, AND I HAD TO WALK PAST HIM.
AND THOSE ARE GRAPEFRUIT MOUSSAS
WITH CHERRIES ON TOP. I HAD TO HOLD THEM WITH MY THUMB
SO THEY WOULDN'T FALL. HE SAID, STOP, STOP!
AND I STOPPED. HE GOES, HIGHER! AND I PUT THE MARTINI GLASSES
HIGHER. HE GOES, GREAT, HOLD ON. CLICK, CLICK. I KEPT WALKING.
A MONTH LATER, IT WAS IN
"CONDNAST" TRAVELER AND YOU CAN SEE WHAT HE WAS DOING, NOW.
[ APPLAUSE ]
>> Jimmy: YEAH. DO YOU HAVE AN ORIGINAL PRINT OF
THIS PHOTOGRAPH?
>> I HAVE THE ORIGINAL MAGAZINE IT CAME IN.
WHEN I ACTUALLY ‐‐ WHEN HE PASSED AWAY AND I WAS ON "E. R."
AT THE TIME I THOUGHT, I SHOULD GET A PRINT OF THAT PHOTOGRAPH,
THAT'S HELMUD NEWTON AND IT'S ME. I CALLED THE ESTATE AND HIS
WIFE, I GUESS, WHO IS ‐‐ OWNS THE ESTATE, SHE SAID, YOU CAN
HAVE IT FOR $80,000.
[ LAUGHTER ]
SO I SAID, THAT'S OKAY, I HAVE THE MAGAZINE.
>> Jimmy: HOW GENEROUS.
>> YEAH. SO I NEVER BOUGHT IT.
BUT, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE IT THERE, IT'S BIG ENOUGH.
>> Jimmy: WHEN YOU'RE WORKING AS A WAITRESS, DID YOU HAVE,
BESIDES HELMUD NEWTON, FAMOUS PEOPLE COME IN?
>> EVERY NIGHT. WHERE I WAS WORKING, FOR SIX
MONTHS IT WAS THE PLACE EVERYONE WENT.
ON ANY GIVEN NIGHT, PRINCE,
ELIZABETH TAYLOR CAME IN, PRINCESS FERGIE WAS THERE.
ONE NIGHT I HAD A FULL TABLE, JULIA ROBERTS, KIEFER SUTHERLAND
JUST FINISHED DOING "FLATLINERS."
JOEL SCHUMACHER, WHO JUST PASSED AWAY I THINK A YEAR AGO, WAS THE
DIRECTOR. THEY CAME IN, THERE WAS 20 OF
THEM. I WAS ALWAYS IN THE VIP SECTION
BECAUSE I'M 18 ALRE10TIVE AND THEY KNEW I WOULD TAKE CARE OF
TABLES WELL. AND IT WAS A TOUGH TABLE.
>> Jimmy: OH.
>> THEY KEPT GETTIN UP AND MOVING THEIR SEATS, THERE WAS A
LOT OF BOOZE AT THE TABLE, EVERY TIME THE FOOD RUNNER WOULD COME
OUT WITH MY NUMBER, WHO GETS THE STEAK, WHO GETS THE FISH,
EVERYONE ‐‐ IT WAS THE WRONG PLATES.
IT HAD BEEN A ROUGH NIGHT. AND THERE WERE A LOT OF DEMANDS.
AND THEN I CAME OUT WITH ALL THE DESSERTS.
I HAD FIVE IN EACH ARM, AND HUI, MY FOOD RUNNER, HAD THE OTHER
TEN BEHIND ME. THEY ALL AT THAT MOMENT GOT AND
UP LEFT THE RESTAURANT. AND I JUST REMEMBER STANDING
THERE WITH ALL THESE DESSERTS THINKING, THIS CAN'T BE MY LIFE.
[ LAUGHTER ]
JOEL SCHUMACHER PAID THE BILL. AND WE POOLED OUR TIPS.
THE WHOLE RESTAURANT, ALL THE WAITERS WOULD POOL THEIR TIPS AT
THE END OF THE NIGHT.
>> Jimmy: RIGHT.
>> AND THEY ‐‐ EVERYBODY LEFT, AND TEN MINUTES LATER AS I'M
CLEANING OFF THE TABLE, JOEL SCHUMACHER WALKED BACK IN AND
HANDED ME A 100‐DOLLAR BILL. HE HAD ALREADY TIPPED VERY WELL.
AND HE SAID, I KNOW YOU POOL YOUR TIPS, THAT TABLE WAS REALLY
DIFFICULT, AND I'M SORRY, AND THIS IS FOR YOU.
>> Jimmy: WOW.
>> AND HE GAVE ME 100 BUCKS. AND THAT MEANT ‐‐ I MEAN ‐‐
YEARS LATER, WHEN HE WAS DIRECTING "BATMAN" THAT GEORGE
WAS ON, HE WOULD COME TO THE "E.R." SET TO TALK TO GEORGE
ABOUT BATMAN AND HIS GORGEOUS OUTFIT.
[ LAUGHTER ]
AND HE AND I WOULD KIBITZ THE WHOLE TIME.
I WAS LIKE JOEL, YOU WERE THE ONE PERSON WHO CAME IN AND
ACTUALLY REALLY CARED ABOUT US WAITRESSES, AND I REALLY
APPRECIATED IT.
>> Jimmy: WOW, HOW ABOUT THAT.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
JULIANNA, I DO WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT GEORGE CLOONEY, IT'S HIS
BIRTHDAY TODAY. MANY OTHER THINGS.
THE BOOK IS CALLED "SUNSHINE GIRL."
JULIANNA MARGULIES IS WITH US. WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
>> Dicky: PORTIONS OF "JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE" ARE BROUGHT TO YOU
BY CHARMIN'S BRB, WHEN YOU NEED TO ENJOY THE GO BUT DON'T WANT
ANYONE TO KNOW.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
♪
>> Jimmy: OH, HOW, HOW ABOUT THAT. WE'RE BACK WITH JULIANNA
MARGULIES. THIS IS HER BOOK," SUNSHINE
GIRL." YOU KNOW WHAT I'M WONDERING?
I THINK ABOUT THIS. I REMEMBER THINGS IN A CERTAIN
WAY. THEN I WILL TALK TO OTHER PEOPLE
IN MY FAMILY OR WHATEVER, AND THEY DON'T REMEMBER THINGS IN
THAT SAME WAY. DO YOU HAVE A GREAT MEMORY?
DID YOU CHECK WITH PEOPLE? WERE THERE ANY DISCREPANCIES AS
FAR AS SOME OF THESE CHILDHOOD STORIES GO?
>> A LOT OF ALL OF THAT. SO ONE IS, WHEN YOU HAVE A LOT
OF DRAMA IN YOUR LIFE, YOU REMEMBER THOSE THINGS. YOU KNOW?
THINGS STAY WITH YOU WHEN IT'S TRAUMATIC.
BUT ALSO, I ALSO KEPT JOURNALS SINCE I WAS 9 YEARS OLD.
SO I ‐‐ AND I HAVE THEM ALL.
>> Jimmy: OH, WOW.
>> BECAUSE I WAS AWAY FROM MY FATHER FOR SO MUCH OF MY YEAR,
DURING THE YEAR, I ONLY SAW HIM TWICE A YEAR, I WROTE HIM
LETTERS. AND HE HAD EVERY SINGLE ONE OF
THOSE LETTERS, AND HE HAD GIVEN THEM TO ME.
SO I HAD A LOT TO GO ON ANYWAY, ASIDE FROM MEMORY.
THERE WAS ONE MEMORY THAT, YOU KNOW ‐‐ I REMEMBER THINGS REALLY
VIVIDLY FROM 5, 6. BUT 3 IS A LITTLE BLURRY.
AND WE LIVED IN PARIS WHEN I WAS 3. AND MY MOTHER WAS QUITE
ECCENTRIC AND QUITE STUNNING AND SHE HAD A LOT OF BOYFRIENDS.
ME AND MY SISTERS LIVED WITH HER ON THE LEFT BANK.
AND MY FATHER LIVED ON THE RIGHT BANK AT THE TIME.
AND I REMEMBERED A STORY, I WASN'T QUITE SURE IF IT WAS
SOMETHING THAT WAS REAL OR HAD I DREAMT IT.
SO I DID CHECK IN WITH BOTH MY OLDER SISTERS TO SAY, HEY, GUYS,
I REMEMBER IN PARIS WHEN WE ALL SHARED A ROOM TOGETHER THAT MOM
CAME HOME WITH A BOYFRIEND, AND SHE ‐‐ THE BOYFRIEND HAD A
MONKEY? AND SHE OPENED THE DOOR AND PUT
THE MONKEY IN OUR ROOM, SHUT THE DOOR, THEN WENT TO HER ROOM WITH
THE BOYFRIEND? AND I REMEMBER WAKING UP WITH
THE MONKEY ON MY FACE. HE WAS HOLDING MY FACE IN HIS
HANDS AND I STARTED TO SCREAM. AND THEN HE JUMPED ONTO RACHEL'S
BED, AND YOU STARTED SCREAMING. I WAS LIKE, THAT IS ‐‐ IS THAT
TRUE?
[ LAUGHTER ]
BOTH MY SISTERS ‐‐ I WAS IN TORONTO SHOOTING "THE HOT ZONE."
BOTH OF THEM EMAILED ME BACK WITH DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF THE
EXACT SAME STORY.
[ LAUGHTER ]
AT WHICH POINT I WENT, I'M WRITING MY VERSION.
IT OBVIOUSLY HAPPENED.
>> Jimmy: YEAH.
>> I CAN ONLY TELL IT FROM MY PERSPECTIVE.
BUT I'M GOING TO WRITE THAT DOWN.
AND SO MY MOTHER, TO THIS DAY, SAYS THAT, "GIRLS, THAT NEVER
HAPPENED, I NEVER WOULD HAVE DONE THAT."
[ LAUGHTER ]
BUT HOW CAN THREE DAUGHTERS ALL COMPLETELY ‐‐ SO I'M 3, MY
MIDDLE SISTER IS 6, MY OLDER SISTER IS 9.
HOW CAN WE ALL REMEMBER THE SAME STORY, AND IT NOT BE TRUE?
SO YES, THERE WAS A MONKEY IN OUR ROOM.
MAYBE MY MOTHER'S BOYFRIEND WAS AN ORGAN GRINDER?
[ LAUGHTER ]
I DON'T KNOW WHY HE HAD A MONKEY.
>> Jimmy: IT SOUNDS LIKE MAYBE HE WAS, YEAH. WOW. THAT IS CRAZY.
EVEN JUST THE IDEA THAT YOUR MOM WOULD GO HOME WITH A GUY WHO WHO
HAD A MONKEY IS UNBELIEVABLE.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> YEAH, THERE'S A COUPLE OF STORIES LIKE THAT, JIMMY.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: ALL RIGHT.
>> BY THE WAY, I JUST HAVE TO SAY THIS.
I HAVE HAD MY MOTHER'S COMPLETE BLESSING TO WRITE THIS BOOK.
>> Jimmy: YEAH. AND THE MONKEY STORY I GUESS,
HUH?
>> WE'RE GOOD. YEAH. SHE ACTUALLY ‐‐ SHE'S READ IT,
SHE GAVE ME HER BLESSING, AND AFTER SHE READ IT SHE SAID, "I
LOVE YOU AND I'M SO SORRY."
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: GEORGE CLOONEY, YOUR OLD PAL, TURNED 60 YEARS OLD
TODAY. DID YOU CONTACT HIM DID YOU SEND
HIM ANYTHING?
>> I DID. WELL, I WANTED TO WRITE ‐‐ I
WROTE TO HIM YESTERDAY. BECAUSE I WANTED TO WRITE TO HIM
ON THE LAST DAY OF HIS 50s.
>> Jimmy: AH.
>> I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUN TO SAY, DEAR ‐‐ WELL, I CALL HIM
DOUG, HE CALLS ME CAROL, IT'S SOMETHING WE'VE ALWAYS DONE.
[ LAUGHTER ]
AND I SAID ON THIS, YOUR LAST DAY OF BEING 50, I JUST WANT YOU
TO KNOW THAT WHEN YOU'RE 90 AND YOU LOOK BACK AND SEE HOW YOUNG
60 WAS, YOU WILL CURSE THE DAY YOU WASTED TIME THINKING YOU'RE
GETTING OLDER, OR THAT YOU'RE TOO OLD.
SO ALSO, WHAT'S YOUR ADDRESS, I WANT TO SEND YOU MY BOOK.
[ LAUGHTER ]
SO YES, TODAY I SENT HIM THE BOOK.
BECAUSE ‐‐ I HAVE TO GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE.
AND GEORGE ‐‐ I GIVE HIM TREMENDOUS CREDIT FOR HELPING
LAUNCH MY CAREER. BECAUSE HE HAPPENED TO MAKE A
PHONE CALL AND WENT OUT OF HIS WAY TO TELL ME NOT TO TAKE
ANOTHER JOB, BECAUSE HE THOUGHT THEY MIGHT KEEP ME AS A SERIES
REGULAR. AND BECAUSE OF THAT PHONE CALL,
I ENDED UP ON "E. R."
>> Jimmy: WOW.

THAT'S AMAZING. HIT ACTIVATE. AND SAY, BE RIGHT BACK, BYE‐BYE!
>> HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
>> DON'T BE SO HAPPY ABOUT IT.
>> Guillermo: OH, PEACE AND QUIET.
>> YOU SHOULD COME OVER AND RUB MY FEET, BECAUSE THAT BUNION
IS ‐‐
>> Guillermo: GAME TIME! GOAL!
>> MY SCIATICA IS KILLING ME.
>> Guillermo: YES!
>> THIS TOENAIL IS INGROWN, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO CUT IT
OUT.
>> Guillermo: YES, OKAY, GOOD.
>> YOU THINK IT'S GOOD?
>> JUST HANG ON, MOM. I'M JUST WALKING IN THE DOOR.
>> Guillermo: SHH!
>> DON'T SHH ME, I CAN SEE YOU, GUILLERMO.
>> Guillermo: GOOD POINT. THAT'S VERY INTERESTING.
WHAT HE SAID.
>> Dicky: ENJOY THE GO WITH THE CHARMIN BRB BOT.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Jimm: WELCOME BACK TO THE SHOW.
MUSIC FROM AMETHYST KIAH IS ON THE WAY.
YOU KNOW OUR NEXT GUEST, OF COURSE,FROM "LOST" AND "HAWAII
FIVE‐0," BUT NOW HE MOVES FROM THE ALOHA STATE TO OUTER SPACE
IN "STOWAWAY," IT'S ON NETFLIX NOW.
PLEASE WELCOME DANIEL DAY KIM.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
HEY, DANIEL. HOW ARE YOU?
>> JIMMY, JIMMY, SO GOOD TO SEE YOU, IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME.
>> Jimmy: IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME. CAN I TELL YOU SOMETHING?
I KNOW THIS IS WEIRD. BUT I THINK OF YOU AS AN OLD
FRIEND, EVEN THOUGH WE REALLY DON'T KNOW EACH OTHER.
[ LAUGHTER ]
I REALLY DO, BECAUSE OF "LOST."
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
DO YOU STILL HEAR ABOUT THAT ALL THE TIME?
>> I DO, I DO. AND BY THE WAY, I THINK OF YOU
AS AN OLD FRIEND BECAUSE YOU ARE LITERALLY IN MY HOUSE EVERY
NIGHT.
>> Jimmy: OH, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WHERE ARE YOU RIGHT NOW?
>> I'M IN TORONTO. I'M SHOOTING, ACTUALLY, THE
SECOND SEASON OF "THE HOT ZONE." JULIANNA, YOUR PREVIOUS GUEST,
SHOT THE FIRST SEASON.
>> Jimmy: HOW ABOUT THAT.
>> FOLLOWING IN HER FOOTSTEPS.
>> Jimmy: WHY IS THERE A PIECE OF DRYWALL BEHIND YOU, RANDOMLY
PLACED?
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> I THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE SUPER ARTISTIC.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: IT IS, KIND OF.
>> I'M STAYING IN AN APARTMENT, I'M ON LOCATION, IT'S NOT MY
HOUSE. I LITERALLY SPENT FIVE MINUTES
WITH YOUR TECH FOLKS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE I SHOULD MOVE
MY ZOOM CAMERA.
[ LAUGHTER ]
WE CAME UP WITH THIS. I DON'T KNOW. NOW I FEEL BAD.
>> Jimmy: NO, DON'T FEEL BAD AT ALL.
I WAS JUST CONFUSED BECAUSE IT LOOKED LIKE YOU WERE AGAINST A
WALL, SUDDENLY YOU'VE GOT A PANORAMA BEHIND YOU.
>> IT FEELS LIKE IT IN TORONTO, I'VE GOT TO SAY.
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL CITY BUT I WOULD NEVER KNOW BECAUSE IT'S
BEEN SO COLD HERE. AND WE'VE BEEN IN LOCKDOWN FOR
LIKE THREE MONTHS.
>> Jimmy: OH.
>> SO, YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN SHOOTING IN THOSE KIND OF
CIRCUMSTANCES. BUT I'M TOLD IT'S A FANTASTIC
CITY.
>> Jimmy: IT AS FANTASTIC CITY. MAYBE IF IT WARMS UP AND THEY
LET YOU OUT OF YOUR ROOM. YOU'RE SHOOTING RIGHT NOW?
ALL RIGHT, YOU'RE WORKING ON THAT. YOU LIVE VERY FAR AWAY FROM
TORONTO, YOU'RE STILL IN HAWAII, RIGHT?
>> YEAH, REALLY COULDN'T BE FURTHER, AND I'M HOMESICK.
HAWAII IS LIKE 80 DEGREES. IT'S NOT SO MUCH THAT HERE.
>> Jimmy: LET'S TALK ABOUT "STOWAWAY" IF WE COULD, SET ON A
SPACESHIP. A DRAMA, VERY TENSE, ABOUT A
STOWAWAY, I CAN SAY THAT THAT'S THE TITLE OF THE FILM.
BUT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT OBVIOUSLY IS VERY DIFFERENT THAN
THESE OTHER PROJECTS THAT YOU'VE DONE.
BUT YOU POSTED SOMETHING THAT I WANTED TO ASK YOU ABOUT.
BECAUSE IT WOULD SEEM THAT SPACE IS SOMETHING YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN
INTERESTED IN. BASED ON THE FACT THAT THAT'S
YOU. WHERE ARE YOU GUYS, ON THE MOON?
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> YEAH, YOU KNOW, IT WAS A SHORT TRIP TO THE MOON.
BUT IT MIGHT AS WELL HAVE BEEN. WE WERE ACTUALLY ‐‐ IT WAS A
FAMILY TRIP TO THE AIR AND SPACE MUSEUM IN WASHINGTON, D. C.
>> Jimmy: AH.
>> WE WERE SO HAPPY TO BE THERE. WHEN WE FIRST GOT TO AMERICA, MY
PARENTS WERE SO HAPPY AND PROUD TO BE LIVING IN AMERICA THAT
THEY WOULD TAKE US TO ALL THE BIG CITIES, LIKE NEW YORK,
WASHINGTON, D. C., PHILADELPHIA, TO SEE THE LIBERTY BELL, JUST
BECAUSE THEY WERE SO PROUD TO BE HERE. AND SO ‐‐
>> Jimmy: WOW.
>> AIR AND SPACE MUSEUM ‐‐ YEAH, WE WERE PROUD IMMIGRANTS.
AND THE AIR AND SPACE MUSEUM WAS PART OF THAT.
MY MOM LITERALLY JUST SENT ME THAT PHOTO, COINCIDENTALLY, THE
OTHER DAY. IT BROUGHT BACK A LOT OF
MEMORIES. TUBE SOCKS.
>> Jimmy: DID YOU AND YOUR BROTHER ALWAYS DRESS THE SAME,
WAS THAT A THING THAT YOU DID?
>> I HAVEN'T SHOWN YOU THE VELVET SUITS THAT MY MOM SEWED
FOR US.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: REALLY?
>> IT GOT WORSE, TUBE SOCKS AND BOWL HAIRCUTS, IT WAS THE THING.
>> Jimmy: DID YOUR PARENTS LIKE THE IDEA THAT THEIR SON WANTED
TO BECOME AN ACTOR?
>> YOU KNOW, THEY ACTUALLY WANTED ME TO BE A DOCTOR OR A
LAWYER. AND SO, YOU KNOW. I PLAYED BOTH NOW ON TV.
SO THAT'S SOMETHING.
[ LAUGHTER ]
YOU KNOW. MY DAD DIDN'T WANT ME TO BE AN
ACTOR, BUT NOW, YOU KNOW, HE'S COME COMPLETELY AROUND.
NOW HE LIKES TO GIVE ME CAREER ADVICE.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: IS THAT RIGHT?
>> NO, IT'S GOOD. I GET OFFERS SOMETIME ‐‐ INSTEAD
OF BEING, I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU. HE'LL BE LIKE, HOW MUCH DO THEY
PAY?
[ LAUGHTER ]
WHERE DOES IT SHOOT? YOU KNOW, JUST KIND OF ALL THIS
INSIDER INFORMATION.
>> Jimmy: DO THEY WATCH EVERYTHING YOU'RE IN?
>> THEY DO. EVEN THOUGH, LIKE SOME OF THE
STUFF THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND VERY WELL.
BECAUSE SOMETIMES I'M SPEAKING REALLY FAST AMERICAN, ENGLISH
DIALOGUE. SO THEY REALLY LIKED IT ON
"LOST" BECAUSE I WAS SPEAKING THEIR FIRST LANGUAGE.
>> Jimmy: RIGHT.
>> THAT WAS REALLY CONVENIENT.
>> Jimmy: YEAH. BOY, YEAH. DID YOU GET PEOPLE WITH ‐‐ AS
FAR AS "LOST," WHEN YOU'RE ON THE PLANE, THEY'RE LIKE ‐‐ UH ‐‐
[ LAUGHTER ]
> YOU KNOW, YES, YES. THERE WERE A COUPLE OF TIMES, I
REMEMBER WHEN WE WERE GOING BACK FROM, YOU KNOW, HAWAII TO L. A.
FOR A PRESS EVENT, ALL OF US WERE HEADING ONTO THE PLANE.
WE WERE ‐‐ WE DIDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT HOW SUCCESSFUL THE SHOW
HAD BEEN. WE WERE ALL FILING ONTO THE
PLANE. THE ENTIRE CAST. PEOPLE STARTED LOOKING AT US.
STARTED LOOKING DOWN NERVOUSLY.
[ LAUGHTER ]
YOU KNOW, IF WE WERE ALL ON THE PLANE, THEY WERE IN TROUBLE.
[ LAUGHTER ]
BECAUSE WE SURVIVED.
>> Jimmy: I'D BE MORE WORRIED ABOUT GET ON A SUBMARINE WITH
YOU, TO BE HONEST, I THINK.
>> THAT'S TRUE. DID YOU KNOW, ACTUALLY, JIMMY,
THAT THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE EPISODE WHERE MY CHARACTER DIED
WAS LITERALLY TWO DAYS AGO. BECAUSE TWITTER TOLD ME.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: IS THAT RIGHT? WOW. HOW MANY YEARS WAS IT, THE
ANNIVERSARY OF THAT, 11?
>> 11 YEARS, IT WAS 11 YEARS. I LITERALLY GOT A BUNCH OF
TWEETS SAYING, 80 REMEMBER THIS SCENE." "HAPPY ANNIVERSARY."
>> Jimmy: I'LL NEVER FORGET. I HOPE YOU REMEMBER IT, I DO.
YOU LOOKING THROUGH THAT ‐‐ OH, YEAH.
THAT WAS CLASSIC TELEVISION. WE JUST DIDN'T REALIZE IT.
BECAUSE WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT BACK THEN.
AND NOW, JUST ON A TOTALLY DIFFERENT TOPIC, YOU'VE STARTED
A CHARITABLE FOUNDATION THAT IS OFF TO AN INCREDIBLE START,
REALLY. TELL US ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE DOING
AND WHAT YOU'VE DONE SO FAR.
>> TO BE CLEAR, I'M ONE OF THE COCHAIRS OF THE ADVISORY COUNCIL.
THERE ARE PLENTY OF PEOPLE WHO ARE DOING MUCH MORE IMPORTANT
THINGS IN THIS ORGANIZATION THAN I AM.
BUT WE ‐‐ I'WE'VE STARTED AN ORGANIZATION CALLED THE
ASIAN‐AMERICAN FOUNDATION. IT IS THE FIRST ORGANIZATION OF
ITS KIND THAT IS SET OUT TO EDUCATE AND BRING OTHER
COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS TOGETHER, AND ALSO MAKE A
CONCERTED EFFORT TO STOP THE VIOLENCE AND HATE AGAINST
ASIAN‐AME ASIAN‐AMERICANS.
[ APPLAUSE ]
IT'S AN ORGANIZATION THAT'S BEEN FUNDED WITH $250 MILLION.
AND WE JUST LAUNCHED A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO.
>> Jimmy: UNBELIEVABLE. THAT IS TRULY UNBELIEVABLE.
I ALSO WANTED TO MENTION A FRIEND ‐‐ I ASSUME HE'S A FRIEND
OF YOURS, BECAUSE THIS IS SOMEBODY WHO YOU ADMIRE AND WHO
I KNOW YOU KNOW. THIS IS SOMEBODY WHO WE ALL
KNOW, WHETHER WE REALIZE WE KNOW HIM OR NOT.
PUT THE PHOTOGRAPH UP THERE FOR A SECOND IF WE COULD.
THAT'S JAMES HONG. WE'VE SEEN HIM IN A MILLION
DIFFERENT THINGS. AND HOW DO YOU KNOW JAMES?
>> YOU KNOW, I FIRST MET JAMES ON THE SET OF "CHARMED."
AND ACTUALLY, IT'S IRONIC. I'M SHOOTING A SHOW RIGHT NOW
THAT DEALS WITH 9/11. I WAS SHOOTING THIS SHOW WITH
JAMES DURING 9/11. AND SO ALL I HAVE ‐‐ I'LL ALWAYS
HAVE THOSE MEMORIES OF US TOGETHER.
BUT I'D REALIZED THAT HE HAD
BEEN IN A GAJILLION THINGS BEFORE THAT, HE WAS A GUY THAT
HAD ALWAYS JUST KIND OF FLOWN UNDER THE RADAR.
HE'S DONE OVER 700 TV AND FILM PROJECTS.
IF YOU TALK TO HIM, IT'S ACTUALLY MORE THAN THAT, BECAUSE
IMDB DOESN'T TRACK SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS HE DID.
SO HE'S BEEN AROUND FOR 70 YEARS. HE'S NEVER REALLY BEEN
CELEBRATED. SO I GOT IT IN MY HEAD THAT I
THOUGHT HE DESERVED A STAR ON THE HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME.
>> Jimmy: YEAH.
>> SO ‐‐
>> Jimmy: LET'S GET HIM A STAR ON THE HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME,
RIGHT?
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> YES, JIMMY KIMMEL, YES!
>> Jimmy: IT'S RIGHT OUT HERE. BY THE WAY, WE COULD GIVE HIM
DONALD TRUMP'S STAR.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
PLUCK THAT RIGHT OUT OF THERE.
>> WELL, YOU KNOW, I THINK HE MIGHT HAVE APPEARED IN A FEW
MORE THINGS THAN DONALD TRUMP, I'M NOT SURE.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: IT'S GREAT TO SEE YOU. THANKS FOR BEING WITH US.
DANIEL DAY KIM, EVERYBODY. "STOWAWAY" ON NETFLIX NOW.
GOOD TO SEE YOU. BE RIGHT BACK WITH AMETHYST KIAH!
>> Jimmy: THANKS TO JULIANNA MARGULIES AND DANIEL
DAY KIM. APOLOGIES TO MATT DAMON. "NIGHTLINE" IS NEXT BUT FIRST I
BELIEVE YOU WILL LIKE THIS. THIS IS HER ALBUM "WARY AND
STRANGE." IT COMES OUT JUNE 18th. WITH THE SONG "BLACK MYSELF,"
AMETHYST KIAH!
