[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
THIS IS MY THIRD AND FINAL NIGHT FILLING IN FOR JIMMY, AND WE'VE
BEEN HAVING SO MUCH FUN, A LOT OF FUN.
AS YOU KNOW, I STARTED A RUMOR THIS WEEK THAT JIMMY IS IN REHAB
FOR STEROIDS.
[ LAUGHTER ]
I WANTED TO SEE IF WE COULD GET IT GOING.
AND IT GOT GOING PRETTY GOOD.
[ LAUGHTER ]
LAST NIGHT, I CALLED ON YOU TO SHOW JIMMY YOU CARE BY USING THE
HASHTAG #JACKEDUPJIMMY.
[ LAUGHTER ]
AND MANY OF YOU ANSWERED THE CALL.
"SENDING THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS TO YOU IN REHAB, KIMMEL!"
[ LAUGHTER ]
"JACKED UP JIMMY, I KNOW IT'S TOUGH, BUT YOU CAN GET OFF THOSE
STEROIDS. JUST KEEP WORKING THE PROGRAM.
LOVE YOU!" "SORRY ABOUT YOUR BALLS."
[ LAUGHTER ]
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
I THINK WE'RE ALL SORRY ABOUT HIS BALLS.
[ LAUGHTER ]
UNFORTUNATELY, I DO HAVE A SAD UPDATE TO SHARE.

INCIDENT.

YOU PROBABLY SAW IT ON THE NEWS.
>> IF YOU'RE JUST TUNING IN, WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT IS
FOOTAGE OF DISGRACED TALK SHOW HOST JIMMY KIMMEL LEADING POLICE
ON A ROOFTOP CHASE IN NOTHING BUT HIS UNDERWEAR.
ACCORDING TO RECORDS, EARLIER THIS EVENING KIMMEL TOOK A
MASSIVE AMOUNT OF STEROIDS AND RIPPED THE DOOR OFF THE REHAB
FACILITY HE'S BEEN STAYING IN. AUTHORITIES URGE THE PUBLIC TO
REMAIN VIGILANT UNTIL HE'S TRANQUILIZED.
[ LAUGHTER ]

AND I.
>> Wanda: RIGHT, THAT'S AWESOME. MAN, NOT ONE BUM IN YOUR FAMILY
AT ALL.
>> NO, WE DON'T ACCEPT THAT, NOT AT ALL.
>> Wanda: AND THE NIGERIAN CULTURE IS VERY IMPORTANT IN
WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND WITH YOUR UPBRINGING TOO?
>> YEAH, NIGERIAN HERITAGE IS VERY IMPORTANT TO US.
WE ALWAYS SAY WE'RE VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE THE BEST OF
BOTH WORLDS. BEING NIGERIAN AND AMERICAN,
EXPLORING BOTH AVENUES OF OUR HERITAGE.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Wanda: THAT'S VERY GOOD. I GOT TO TELL YOU, I LOVE YOUR
DOCUMENTARY. "144." IT WAS SO GOOD.
IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT, CHECK IT OUT. I MEAN, TO ME IT JUST
ENCAPSULATED WOMEN. WHEN YOU PUT US IN CHARGE, YOU
KNOW? AND YOU GUYS ‐‐ EVERYONE HAD A
VOICE.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Wanda: YOU ALL JUST CAME UP WITH THESE DECISIONS ‐‐
>> NICE TO SEE A WOMAN IN CHARGE HERE TOO!
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Wanda: YEAH, BUT I'M SORRY, TELL THEM ABOUT THE DOCUMENTARY.
>> YES. I DID NOT KNOW ‐‐ I AM A
BASKETBALL PLAYER, I'M ALSO AN NBA ANALYST AND HOST ON THE ESPN
RADIO SHOW. NOW ADDED ANOTHER TITLE,
EXECUTIVE PRODUCER OF "144," THE DOCUMENTARY THAT JUST AIRED
BEFORE THE WNBA SEASON STARTED. EVERYONE KNOWS 2020 CHALLENGED
ALL OF US IN WAYS WE DIDN'T IMAGINE.
WE SAW FROM THE WNBA, I WAS NOT ABLE TO PLAY BASED ON HEALTH
CIRCUMSTANCES. BUT I WAS COMMITTED TO UPLIFTING
THE WOMEN OF THE W TAMPA BAY IN THAT MOMENT BECAUSE I KNEW
SOMETHING SPECIAL WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.
NOW MY BIG SIS IS PRESIDENT OF THE PLAYERS ASSOCIATION, THE
GIRL HERE IS VICE PRESIDENT. SO YEAH, THAT'S HOW WE DO THINGS
AS A FAMILY.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
AND SO WE WERE ALWAYS TALKING TO OUR UNION AND OUR PLAYERS, YOU
KNOW, THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PANDEMIC. WE TRIED TO PROVIDE AN
ENVIRONMENT FOR THE PLAYERS TO HAVE A PLATFORM TO SPEAK.
AND IT'S AN AMAZING EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE THAT WE HAD.
YOU KNOW, BEING OUTSIDE OF THE BUBBLE AND SEEING EVERYTHING
GOING ON, I JUST WANTED TO LEVERAGE MY PARTNERS.
BECAUSE THERE WAS A SPECIAL STORY GOING ON.
SO I WAS GRATEFUL THAT ESPN ALLOWED ME TO SHEPHERD THAT
STORY, BRING IT TO LIFE, ALONG WITH AN AMAZING CREW OF THREE
OTHER WOMEN, OUR EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS.
PEOPLE SAW WHAT HAPPENED IN 2020 AND THE WNBA HELPED TRANSFORM
THE LANDSCAPE OF THIS COUNTRY.
>> Wanda: IT REALLY DID, YES, YES, ABSOLUTELY.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
MY OPINION, MY OPINION, THE WNBA, IT SAVED OUR DEMOCRACY.
IT REALLY DID. I MEAN, WHAT YOU ALL DID IN
GEORGIA WITH, YOU KNOW, WITH SENATOR WARNOCK, AND JUST ALL
THE ‐‐
>> AND SOME T‐SHIRTS.
[ APPLAUSE ]
>> Wanda: YES, YES. IT WAS JUST INCREDIBLE,
INCREDIBLE. SO NOT JUST WHAT THE LEAGUE DOES
OFF THE COURT. I MEAN, THE GAME. I LOVE IT. IT'S FUN TO WATCH.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND, LIKE HOW DO WE GET MORE PEOPLE INVOLVED IN
THE GAME AND SHOW UP TO THE GAME TO SUPPORT THIS LEAGUE?
>> YEAH, I THINK THERE ARE A LOT OF PRECONCEIVED NOTIONS WHEN IT
COMES TO WOMEN IN SPORT. WE NEED TO STOP DOING THAT.
>> Wanda: RIGHT.
>> WE SEE THE CONVERSATION HAPPENING WITH THE OLYMPICS AND
ESPECIALLY BLACK WOMEN IN THE OLYMPICS.
WE NEED TO GET RID OF THAT, STRIP THAT DOWN.
THERE'S A LOT OF HESITATION THAT KEEPS PEOPLE FROM THINKING,
SHOULD I GO TO A GAME OR NOT? GET RID OF THAT.
INSTEAD OF HESITATION, FOLLOW THROUGH ON YOUR SHOT.
FOLLOW THROUGH. LET'S BE REAL. OUR TICKETS ARE A LITTLE MORE
AFFORDABLE THAN THE NBA TICKETS.
[ APPLAUSE ]
IF YOU'RE ABLE, IF YOU'RE REALLY ABLE TO GO, JUST TAKE A CHANCE
AND YOU'LL FALL IN LOVE WITH THE PLAYERS BECAUSE YOU'LL GET TO
ENGAGE WITH THEM. I PROMISE YOU, WHEN WE'RE
PLAYING, WE HEAR YOU. WAN DA, I HEAR YOU.
I HEAR VIVICA A. FOX WHO'S ALWAYS WITH THE L. A. SPARKS.
THAT'S THE BEAUTY, WE HAVE CHAMPIONS OUT THERE, AND THIS
LEAGUE EMBODIES WHAT CHAMPIONS SHOULD BE BOTH ON AND OFF THE
COURT, SO WHY NOT?
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Wanda: RIGHT. I NOTICE THERE ARE A LOT OF NBA
PLAYERS IN SUPPORT OF THE LEAGUE ALSO.
I SEE THEM WEARING THE ORANGE JERSEYS, LIKE LeBRON WAS WEARING
ONE.
>> ALVIN KAMARA. IT'S BEEN GREAT TO SEE THEIR
SUPPORT. I TELL PEOPLE, IT'S NOT LIKE WE
NEED THE VALIDATION, BUT IT'S GREAT TO DIVERT AUDIENCES THAT
pMIGHT LOOK PAST US, TO BRING THEM TO OUR CENTER COURT.
SO YEAH, I MEAN, SUNDAY WE GOT A GAME, WANDA.
>> Wanda: I'LL BE THERE, MY WIFE AND I WILL BE THERE SUNDAY.
[ APPLAUSE ]
WE'RE GOING TO BE THERE. AND KOBE.
KOBE WAS A HUGE SUPPORTER OF THE WOMEN'S GAME TOO.
>> YEAH.
>> Wanda: DID YOU EVER MEET KOBE?
>> I DID. I WAS ABLE TO MEET KOBE, MAY HE
REST IN PEACE.
>> Wanda: YES, ABSOLUTELY.
>> ALSO GIGI, WHO EMBODIED THE FUTURE OF OUR GAME.
THERE WAS A SPECIAL MOMENT THAT I DIDN'T THINK ABOUT ‐‐ YOU KNOW
AFTER YOU START LAYING IN BED AT NIGHT. WHEN I WAS AT STANFORD, A
FRESHMAN AT STANFORD UNIVERSITY, YOU KNOW YOUR GIRL ‐‐ I'M A
MIDDLE CHILD, I ALWAYS DO THE MOST.
WE ACTUALLY PLAYED IN THE PAC‐10 TOURNAMENT AT STAPLES HERE IN
L.A. SO I WAS A FRESHMAN, ALL RIGHT,
GUYS, I'M GOING TO BE THE CORNY ONE, IF WE WIN THE TOURNAMENT,
I'M LEAVE AGLER FOR KOBE. THE TOP TEAM WAS ABLE TO HAVE
THE HOME LOCKER ROOM. AFTER WE WON, WE'RE ABOUT TO
LEAVE, THEY'VE LIKE, YOU FORGOT ABOUT YOUR LETTER.
THE GAME SCOUTING REPORT, WROTE A LITTLE NOTE, DEAR KOBE, THANKS
FOR LENDING US YOUR LOCKER ROOM, WE'RE ROOTING FOR YOU, SIGNED.
SO I SLIP IT INTO THE ‐‐ ACTUALLY, I DON'T.
MY HANDS ARE TOO BIG, I'M A CENTER.
[ LAUGHTER ]
I GET OUR POINT GUARD TO SLIP IT INTO HIS LOCKER.
[ LAUGHTER ]
YOU KNOW, IT'S A NASTY LETTER FROM A GAME SCOUTING REPORT.
ABOUT A WEEK LATER, WE'RE AT STANFORD UNIVERSITY.
SHOUT‐OUT TO HALL OF FAMER TARA VANDERVEER, ALL‐TIME WINNINGEST
COACH IN WOMEN'S BASKETBALL. SHE GOES AFTER PRACTICE, HEY,
EVERYBODY! TODAY I GOT A CALL FROM THE
LAKERS, KOBE SENT A MESSAGE SAYING HE GOT YOUR LETTER, HE
WISHES US GOOD LUCK FOR THE NCAA TOURNAMENT.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Wanda: OH, MAN. WOW.
>> THAT TRULY WAS THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL THAT KOBE BRYANT HAD.
HE SAW US. HE SAW GREATNESS IN US BEFORE WE
EVEN KNEW IT IN OURSELVES. I WAS A FRESHMAN.
YOUR GIRL WAS NOT A NUMBER ONE PICK OR ANYTHING.
BUT THAT'S WHAT HE BROUGHT TO THE GAME THAT AUTHENTICITY.
HE DID NOT JUST TALK THE TALK, HE SHOWED UP THROUGH HIS ACTIONS.
I REMEMBE THAT, AND IT HONESTLY GIVES ME THE ENERGY TO KEEP
DRIVING FORWARD.
>> Wanda: WOW.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> SO THANK YOU.
>> Wanda: CHINEY'S WEEKLY PODCAST IS CALLED "CHINEY," AND
THE SPARKS PLAY THE MINNESOTA LYNX THIS SUNDAY AT THE L. A.
CONVENTION CENTER. I WILL BE THERE, YES, YOU WILL.
>> Wanda: THANK YOU, CHINEY. WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH MUSIC
FROM MACY GRAY AND THE CALIFORNIA JET CLUB.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Dicky: THE "JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE" CONCERT SERIES IS
PRESENTED BY MERCEDES‐BENZ. THE BEST OR NOTHING.
>> Wanda: IT'S TIME TO PUT ON SOME MUSIC AND CHILL.
WITH THE SONG "THINKING OF YOU," MACY GRAY AND THE CALIFORNIA JET
CLUB!
