00:00Tonight, Alan Cummings and Taylor Tiernick with the Glee Tones.
00:06And now, Jimmy Kimmel!
00:10I am the host of the program. Thank you for watching it. Thanks for coming.
00:32Thanks for joining us here at our headquarters in beautiful Los Angeles, California.
00:39It is the one-year anniversary of the fires one year ago today.
00:43The fires that went on to devastate Altadena and the Pacific Palisades ignited.
00:48We remain grateful to the first responders who risked their lives to protect us,
00:52especially the firefighters who got out there.
00:54And, of course, that's right.
00:58We also are grateful to the real hero, our president, Donald Trump,
01:02who turned on that giant spigot to allow all the beautiful water to flow bigly and freely.
01:08From his vivid imagination to save us from the fires only two weeks after they went out.
01:14Thank you, Mr. President.
01:17Maybe next you can turn that spigot to release the Epstein files.
01:22Thank you, Mr. President.
01:28El Presidente is now on day five of his side job running Venezuela.
01:33And in case you were worried that this is some kind of a brazen money grab, Chevron Don would like you to know this.
01:40He wrote, I am pleased to announce that the interim authorities in Venezuela will be turning over between 30 and 50 million barrels of high quality sanctioned oil to the United States of America.
01:51This oil will be sold at its market price and that money will be controlled by me.
01:56Signed, Diddy J. Trump.
01:58This, are we?
02:02Oh, good.
02:03Don't worry.
02:04The oil money will be controlled by him.
02:06That way we know it will be spent honestly.
02:08And I'm sure this has nothing to do with the fact that oil companies spent almost half a billion dollars to get him elected.
02:15I'm sure if the windmill people had just asked, he would have invaded Holland instead.
02:21But Trump, and this is, I think, is interesting.
02:23He, Trump has been obsessed with Venezuela for a very long time and for an obvious reason.
02:30See if you can guess which country won the most Miss Universe titles after Trump bought that pageant in 1996.
02:38I'll give you a hint.
02:39It's not Tunisia.
02:40No.
02:41The winner is Venezuela, Venezuela, Venezuela, and Venezuela.
02:47There you go.
02:48Trump has personally crowned not one, but four Miss Universes from Venezuela.
02:54That last one, the one he's kissing?
02:56Yeah.
02:57Her name is Alicia Machado.
02:58She was 19 when she won.
02:59And the reason she's on an exercise bike in that photo is because she committed the only unforgivable crime in the Trump universe.
03:06She gained weight while she was Miss Universe.
03:09She says he called her Miss Piggy.
03:11He called her Miss Housekeeper.
03:13All of which he denies, but he can't deny this.
03:16When she won it, she weighed about 118 pounds.
03:18Too light for her.
03:19And actually, from what I understand, a little bit heavier.
03:22But I will say, when she won the contest, I had never seen anybody more beautiful.
03:26And she's totally beautiful now.
03:28But I think come contest time, what are you talking about in terms of weight?
03:32Our goal is to get her between 125 and 130.
03:35She will look 118 to you.
03:38That's when I knew he would one day be president of the United States.
03:42You can see why Jeffrey Epstein liked them, right?
03:44I mean, they've got a lot of...
03:45What kind of a pageant has a weigh-in?
03:48Is she fighting Sugar Ray Leonard?
03:50Last night, you know, we showed a clip of Ramble Stiltskin
03:53yammering incoherently to Republicans in the House.
03:56And if you thought he sounded ridiculous in English,
03:59wait until you hear it on BBC Persia.
04:01I didn't know the Persian word for eh is eh.
04:16I mentioned last night that Trump says he's considering military action
04:20to acquire Greenland if necessary by force.
04:24Trump says we need it for national security reasons.
04:27Some Republicans are pushing back on this crazy idea,
04:30and none more forcefully than Mike Johnson,
04:33the squeaker of the House.
04:34So, yes.
04:35Should we...
04:36It's about military action to Greenland?
04:38Look, no, I don't think that's...
04:40Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to my hollowed-out tree
04:43before the cookies burn.
04:44Thank you very much.
04:46He doesn't think it's appropriate to invade.
04:48And we all know how much Trump cares about being appropriate.
04:51Trump says he would prefer to buy Greenland,
04:54but if it's not for sale, we may just take it.
04:57And the dumbest part of all of it is,
04:59we have had an agreement with Greenland and Denmark since 1951
05:03that says we could build military installations
05:06pretty much anywhere we want.
05:08The agreement allows us to construct, install, maintain,
05:11and operate military bases across the country.
05:14We can house personnel.
05:15We can operate ships, aircraft, et cetera.
05:17In other words, why would we invade the cow
05:20when we can get the ice milk for free?
05:22This business of strong-arming other countries, Greenland, Venezuela,
05:27is not very popular.
05:28He ran on the platform of staying out of other countries.
05:32They specifically said, he specifically said,
05:35they will not be a part of regime change.
05:37They don't want any part of that.
05:38And now that's exactly what they're doing.
05:40And so the White House has had to call in reinforcements
05:43to convince Magaland that this is a good thing.
05:46Senator Lindsey Graham has been leading that charge.
05:49He took a break from binge-watching heated rivalry
05:51to put on this dramatic show of support.
05:55There will be regime change in Venezuela through the ballot box.
05:58But who's in charge of Venezuela?
06:00Donald J. Trump.
06:01If you defy him, if you're one of the holdovers
06:04and you try to undercut him,
06:06what happened to Maduro is going to happen to you?
06:08The dictator, the thug is in jail in New York.
06:12Donald J. Trump, in my view, is the greatest president of all time.
06:16He's not going to date you, bro.
06:19He's got a wife.
06:20Who is this person?
06:22I mean, is that the same weird old lady
06:25who 10 short years ago said this?
06:27I want to talk to the Trump supporters for a minute.
06:29I don't know who you are
06:31and I don't know why you like this guy.
06:32I think what you like about him,
06:34he appears to be strong when the rest of us are weak.
06:37He's a very successful businessman.
06:39He's going to make everything great.
06:41He's going to take all the problems of the world
06:43and put them in a box and make your life better.
06:46That's what he's selling.
06:47Here's what you're buying.
06:49He's a race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot.
06:53That's right.
06:54And that's what they like about him, you know?
06:57And now that seems to check every box on your Tinder profile, too.
07:01Lindsey Graham, he really has fallen in love.
07:03It reminds me of the movie How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, you know?
07:06They hated each other first.
07:08Trump's Matthew McConaughey.
07:10Lindsey's Kate Hudson.
07:11And let me tell you, Kate is all fired up.
07:14To the Ayatollahs, you need to understand,
07:17if you keep killing your people who are demanding a better life,
07:21Donald J. Trump is going to kill you.
07:23That's right.
07:25And he won't stop killing you until he gets that Nobel Prize.
07:29What is happening?
07:31He's going to kill...
07:32Maybe they're...
07:33You know what?
07:34Maybe they're trying...
07:35I know what they're doing.
07:36They're trying out a new slogan.
07:38Donald J. Trump is going to kill you.
07:41It's pretty good, right?
07:44This maniac, he isn't just killing people overseas.
07:50An ICE agent today shot and killed an unarmed 37-year-old woman
07:55during an ICE operation in Minneapolis.
07:57They're there under the guise of protecting us.
08:00And, of course, our president weighed in with compassion.
08:03He wrote,
08:04I've just viewed the clip of the event which took place in Minneapolis.
08:07It is a horrible thing to watch.
08:08The woman screaming was obviously a professional agitator.
08:12And the woman driving the car, this is the woman who was killed,
08:15was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting,
08:18who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE officer
08:23who seems to have shot her in self-defense.
08:25Now, I saw this video.
08:27It didn't look like anybody got run over to me.
08:30It looked to me like a woman got scared and tried to drive away,
08:33and they shot her.
08:34That'll be for the court to decide.
08:36The mayor of Minneapolis, though, had this to say.
08:39They are already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense.
08:46Having seen the video of myself, I want to tell everybody directly.
08:50That is bull****.
08:53This was an agent recklessly using power that resulted in somebody dying,
09:01getting killed.
09:03And I have a message for ICE.
09:06To ICE, get the f*** out of Minneapolis.
09:10You know, that is the shirt I want to see.
09:17To ICE, get the f*** out of Minneapolis.
09:22Get the f*** out of Minneapolis for me.
09:27Now, in fairness, I also feel like I should mention
09:31the Trump administration did something good today.
09:33Kind of.
09:34They did something as close to good as they can possibly do.
09:39Our Secretary of Health and Human Services
09:42declared war on unhealthy processed foods.
09:45It's shocking that our own government helped to drive
09:48these cataclysmic changes in our diet.
09:51The damage is real.
09:52It is preventable.
09:53And President Trump has ordered it to end.
09:56He has?
09:58Are you sure he has?
10:00Because I, the Donald Trump that I know was the one who said this.
10:04Everyone loves something at McDonald's.
10:07There's always something to have.
10:10I like the fish.
10:13I like it.
10:15You could do a little bit more tartar sauce someplace.
10:18That's right.
10:19Just a little, just another dollop would be wonderful.
10:21Remember when Michelle Obama suggested we eat more vegetables
10:24or Republicans acted like she was the Babadook or something?
10:27Maybe he'll stop blowing up fishing boats if he tells them they're catching fillets.
10:32And then it was time for Dr. Oz, who that's right, he's in our government,
10:36to unveil our new and looser guidelines for drinking alcohol.
10:41So alcohol is the social lubricant that brings people together.
10:46In the best case scenario, I don't think you should drink alcohol.
10:49But it does allow people an excuse to bond and socialize.
10:53And there's probably nothing healthier than having a good time with friends in a safe way.
10:56There is alcohol on these dietary guidelines, but the implication is don't have it for breakfast.
11:05Don't have it for breakfast?
11:07What do you think about that, Guillermo?
11:10Guillermo.
11:16Dr. Oz, Dr. Oz said don't have it for breakfast.
11:21What do you think about that?
11:22F*** that.
11:26Hold on, be honest, how does that taste?
11:34Terrible!
11:43Our historically healthy president does not drink, and that is definitely a good thing,
11:48because he already has enough trouble staying awake.
11:51Teddy Docevelt told the Wall Street Journal that, you know those videos, many videos of him nodding off during meetings?
11:59He says he's not sleeping, he's blinking.
12:02That's right.
12:03He has the rare ability to hold a blink for minutes at a time.
12:07And to showcase that ability, we put together this video montage of some of the many times he most definitely wasn't falling asleep on live TV.
12:19And to showcase that ability to watch his face is not sleeping on live TV.
12:22That's why I have nothing to scare you.
12:24I know the spirits are not asleep on the other side.
12:25Tell me I have nothing to scare you.
12:27It's so beautiful.
12:28It's so beautiful.
12:29It's so beautiful.
12:30It's so beautiful.
12:32It's so beautiful.
12:33It's all so quiet
12:37It's all so still
12:43It's all so quiet
12:49I'm so peaceful
12:55Until
12:57We have a good show for tonight

14:23How are you?
14:39You look great
14:40Thank you
14:40Thank you very much
14:43Yeah
14:43This is a fantastic outfit you have here
14:48Thanks, Jimmy
14:48I'm actually jealous of this outfit
14:50You are?
14:51Though I could never wear it
14:52It wouldn't work
14:53It would be unacceptable
14:54In my circles
14:55But here it looks great
14:56Sounds like your skyline
14:57Yeah, you look like the night sky
14:59You do
15:00You're filled with stars
15:01You're not the first gentleman
15:02To have said that
15:02Let me tell you
15:03I'm wondering
15:05I don't even know
15:06If you're aware of this
15:07Well, I know you're aware
15:08Of part of this
15:08But first of all
15:09I want to thank you
15:10For filling in for me
15:11And guest hosting
15:12The program over the summer
15:13This summer
15:14And last summer
15:15So you filled in
15:19For one night here
15:20And this
15:21I think it was this morning
15:23We learned
15:23You were nominated
15:24For a GLAAD award
15:26For hosting that show
15:28I know
15:28Thank you
15:30Thank you
15:32It's one for one
15:33That's pretty solid
15:34Right?
15:36I know
15:36It's so lovely
15:36Yeah
15:37I wonder if
15:38I wonder who will get
15:39To keep the trophy
15:41Because
15:41We'll have to fill it
15:41To joke it out
15:42Yeah, I feel like
15:44You know, it's our show
15:45We should have it, right?
15:48Yeah, it was me
15:49Hosting that night
15:50It was you hosting
15:51And yet the name
15:52Is still Jimmy Kimmel
15:53Right, that's true
15:54But the name on the desk
15:56That night
15:56Was Alan Cummings
15:57It was
15:58It was
15:58It's going to be
15:59Interesting to see
16:00If you win
16:01If I win
16:03If one of us
16:06Or both of us win
16:07If we win
16:08Yeah
16:08Maybe we could
16:09Split it in half
16:11Chop it down the middle
16:12Yeah
16:12Maybe we could
16:13Split it
16:13That would be
16:14The Solomon-esque way
16:15Yeah, yeah
16:16When you were here
16:17You interviewed
16:18The cast of
16:19The Fantastic Four
16:20Of the movie
16:21Yes, yes
16:22Which is the hardest
16:22Thing to do, I think
16:23Well, they were
16:24Pretty jet-lagged
16:26Oh, that too
16:26Okay
16:27Yes, they were cute
16:28But they were a bit tired
16:29Well, just even
16:30Interviewing a group
16:31Of people
16:32Is like feeding pigeons
16:33Well, there were
16:33Sort of layers
16:34There were sort of
16:35You know
16:35There were chairs behind
16:38The things
16:39That a baseball team match
16:40Yeah, rafters
16:42And then you have to
16:43Worry about people
16:43Being left out
16:45You want to make sure
16:45Everyone gets
16:46A little bit of time
16:47It was like herding cats
16:48Yeah, it is
16:49But it was
16:50But yes, they were
16:51But they're poor things
16:51It's like those
16:52Press tours on those
16:53Big films
16:54You go around the world
16:55In a week
16:56And then
16:56So you arrive back here
16:58And you're just
16:58Oh, I nearly swore
16:59You're just
17:00Bamboozled
17:01Yeah, we get them
17:02Well, you know
17:03Because you are
17:05Part of the new
17:06Avengers movie
17:06I am
17:07Playing Nightcrawler
17:08And that whole cast
17:13Is part of
17:13Yes, all of them
17:15Are in it, too
17:16So you went right away
17:17And then shot
17:18With them there
17:19Yeah
17:19But what was funny
17:21Was my first
17:23Scene with Pedro
17:25He hurt his neck
17:26And had to go home
17:28Really?
17:28I broke Pedro
17:29Mr. Fantastic hurt his neck
17:33I thought he was
17:33Made out of rubber
17:34That doesn't make
17:34Any sense at all
17:36Did you hurt his neck?
17:37He was just a tan tan
17:37Were you fighting
17:38With him at the time?
17:39No, I wasn't fighting
17:40No, no
17:41I was just sort of being
17:43Were you fighting
17:44Alongside him?
17:45Are you trying to get
17:47Yeah, yeah
17:47I would like to know
17:48A little bit of something
17:49What's going on in the movie
17:50Yeah, no, no
17:51It wasn't
17:51We were just together
17:52In a scene
17:53And I wasn't fighting
17:54No, but
17:55And also
17:56He's got these
17:56Big long arms
17:57And everything
17:58So it's quite complicated
17:59And you've got the tail
18:00Though, right?
18:02I do have a tail
18:03Yeah
18:03But I didn't
18:05Have my tail on
18:06At the time
18:07Yeah
18:08You didn't have your tail on
18:09At the time
18:10Maybe if you had your tail on
18:11And Pedro didn't have
18:12His arms on
18:13He wouldn't have
18:13Broke his neck
18:14You know
18:14Do you comic book fans?
18:17He got cupped
18:18Do you know that thing
18:18The cupping?
18:19Yeah
18:19He showed me
18:20A couple of nights later
18:21At the hotel
18:21Have you had that happen?
18:23I haven't
18:23And I sort of
18:24Think I'm one of these
18:25People who should
18:26I do enjoy
18:27You know
18:27An alternative therapy
18:29But I
18:29It looks like
18:31Have you seen it
18:32When they did the big
18:32I've had it done
18:33One time
18:34And I had spots
18:35On my body
18:36For like a month
18:37Or something
18:37Yes
18:38Yeah
18:38They're big
18:39It creates big suction spots
18:40It goes all the way up
18:41Like that
18:42Yeah
18:42Yeah
18:42You're polka dotted
18:43For like a while
18:44After
18:44I mean I'm all for it
18:46But it's the aesthetic
18:47Part of it
18:47I don't think
18:48I don't think it does anything
18:49I'll be honest with you
18:50I think it's an excuse
18:51For the massage therapist
18:53To go take a break
18:54Anyway
18:56We're getting off track
18:57Now that you're in
19:00This world
19:01This Marvel
19:02Sony
19:03Whatever world
19:03You're in
19:04Yeah
19:05Do you
19:06Are people
19:07Like chasing you around now
19:10For autographs
19:11And that sort of thing
19:12Well
19:13I mean
19:14Well
19:14It's the thing
19:15I've noticed
19:16That's a new phenomenon
19:17In general
19:18I just
19:19Is that
19:20Well because I did
19:20I did Nightcrawler
19:21A long time ago
19:22And
19:23But now
19:24There's these things
19:25Called Funko Pops
19:27Yes
19:27Do you know them
19:28Yeah
19:28The little boxes
19:29With your sort of
19:29Wobbly head
19:30Bane of my
19:32Oh really
19:33Really
19:34That's the thing
19:36People want you to sign
19:37Because
19:37Well they have
19:38Yes
19:38But it's not the actual box
19:40They have it sort of
19:42Flat
19:42And there's like
19:43About 12 of them
19:44In a thing like this
19:45And little vinyl things
19:46And so you sign
19:47The little plastic thing
19:48That I guess
19:49They put into the box
19:50I'm not quite sure
19:51But it means that
19:52Instead of just one photo
19:54In the old days
19:55You know
19:55There's a photograph
19:55You'd say
19:56Yeah
19:56Right
19:56There's like 12
19:57Vinyl things
19:58And
19:58And you will stand there
20:00And do it
20:00And sign all of them
20:01I mean
20:01Sometimes
20:02Sometimes
20:03Yeah
20:03But I just think
20:05Oh they're bloody
20:06Funko Pops again
20:07I just think
20:09It was
20:09You know
20:10I quite liked
20:11Old photos
20:12Because
20:12Oh there's me
20:13In a film
20:13Oh there's me
20:14In this film
20:15No
20:15It's just a vinyl thing
20:17That's going to be
20:18Attached to a box
20:19With a wobbly head
20:20Of you
20:20Yeah
20:21And it's going
20:22Right on eBay
20:23Right
20:23Yes
20:24Yeah
20:24I mean
20:25I'm all for comment
20:26But you know
20:26Where's the fun in it
20:27What is the
20:28Most unusual thing
20:29Someone has asked you
20:30To sign
20:31Well
20:32Well
20:32Once years and years
20:34And years ago
20:35I was making a film
20:36It's actually
20:36Nearly 20 years ago
20:37I did this film
20:38In Minnesota
20:38And it's
20:39Because it's about
20:40To be the 20th anniversary
20:41It's called
20:41Sweetland
20:42In which I play
20:43A 1920s
20:44Minnesotan farmer
20:45And father of ten
20:46I can butcher up
20:48When I have to
20:48Jimmy
20:48Yeah
20:49And so I was there
20:52And my wife was played
20:53By Alex Kingston
20:54You know Alex
20:55Who used to be in ER
20:56And she and I were there
20:57And we were
20:59We were at this party
21:00The midway through
21:01The film party
21:02It was in this
21:02Very rural place
21:03In Minnesota
21:03And this lady said to us
21:05Oh it must be
21:07Very boring for you
21:07You know
21:08After your New York life
21:09To come here
21:09And we were like
21:10Oh no we love it here
21:11Tomorrow we're driving
21:12An hour to go to Target
21:14And then later
21:15We may be going
21:17To a restaurant
21:18And I heard myself say it
21:19I thought
21:19I've got to get out of here
21:21And so
21:22Next day
21:23We drove the hour
21:24To the Target
21:25And it was sort of
21:26It really caused
21:27A bit of a scene
21:28And this lady
21:29Came up to me
21:29And went
21:29I can't believe you're here
21:31And I went
21:31I can't either
21:33And then
21:34This other lady said
21:35Would you sign this
21:36For my brother
21:37I was like
21:37Yes
21:38And she signed the thing
21:39I said
21:39What is this
21:40And she went
21:40Oh it's the prescription
21:41For my brother's pink eye
21:43And I was like
21:46Oh
21:46So I think that
21:49That is definitely up there
21:51I've signed a couple of boobs
21:52And a few
21:54And a few bums
21:55Nice
21:55In my life
21:56You were just in Las Vegas
21:57I understand
21:58I was
21:58You know
21:59I grew up in Las Vegas
22:00Yes
22:00And so I'm interested in
22:02What you're working on
22:03A play about Liberace
22:04I'm directing
22:05I run this theatre now
22:06In Scotland
22:07Putlockery Festival Theatre
22:08And so this summer
22:08It's the first year
22:09Of my programmed work
22:11And I'm directing
22:11A play about Liberace
22:14So you made
22:14A pilgrimage
22:15To Las Vegas
22:16Yes
22:16Because
22:17Well the Liberace Foundation
22:19Are there
22:20Obviously
22:21And they kind of
22:22You know
22:23You have to sort of
22:24Get their blessing
22:25To do a thing
22:26Oh you do
22:26Beforehand
22:27So I went to this house
22:28That is where
22:30The Liberace collection
22:31I've got the pictures here
22:32Now here you are
22:33Now this
22:34Was this Liberace's house
22:36No
22:37It was a house
22:38It's actually called
22:39Thriller Villa
22:39Because it was
22:40Michael Jackson's house
22:42Oh
22:42So you come in
22:43There's huge pictures
22:44Of Michael Jackson
22:45And then Liberace's
22:46It's showbiz
22:47Wow
22:48And then you go downstairs
22:50And there's all
22:50Liberace's things
22:51It's amazing
22:52Okay so here we have
22:53That's me
22:54That's Jonathan
22:55Who's the man
22:55From the Liberace Foundation
22:57He was asking me questions
22:57And there's Lee
22:58On the shelf
22:58There's me
22:59There's you
23:00There's loads of these
23:01Wow
23:01Were they small
23:02How big were the outfits
23:03Did they seem small to you
23:05No actually
23:06They seemed sort of
23:07I mean he didn't
23:08I mean
23:08Well they're a bit
23:09Sort of floaty
23:10Do you know what I mean
23:11They're sort of like
23:11Wearing a cape
23:12Did you ever meet Liberace
23:14I did not
23:14Did you
23:15Yeah kind of
23:16It looks like I'm meeting him there
23:17But I didn't
23:18Oh there's my dog
23:19Where's Lala
23:19When I was 16
23:20When I was 16 year old
23:23Here's another one
23:23I was 16 years old
23:24I was at the
23:25Oh no wait
23:26That's Donald Trump's
23:27Sorry
23:28I don't know how
23:28I got in there
23:29When I was 16 years old
23:32I was at the Mayfair Market
23:33Which is a supermarket
23:34On the Las Vegas Strip
23:35And I saw Liberace
23:37In the supermarket
23:38Wearing a hairnet
23:39And buying meat
23:41True story
23:43Is that a euphemism
23:44Nope
23:45He was buying meat
23:46That was
23:46Literally
23:48And then finally
23:49This is my favourite thing
23:51It says
23:52It's Liberace's cookbook
23:54I don't have my specs on
23:54I have to go close
23:55It says what
23:55Hundreds of delicious recipes
23:57For you
23:57From his seven dining rooms
23:59That's right
24:00That's why he had to
24:01Go buy more meat
24:02He's cooking hundreds
24:04Of delicious recipes
24:05And look at the
24:06The ex-Belere things
24:08Are all pianos
24:09Oh that is beautiful
24:11Amazing
24:11He's unbelievable
24:12Liberace
24:13I'm
24:14Well I'm
24:15Obviously I'm directing
24:16This play
24:16So I'm kind of
24:17Researching him a lot
24:17But I'm really fascinated
24:18By him
24:19And just
24:20Everything about him
24:21And just his legacy
24:22And you know
24:23He was such a pioneer
24:24In many many ways
24:25He was
24:26And his signature
24:27Is I believe
24:27We actually have
24:28This is Liberace's
24:30What he would sign
24:30Now imagine getting
24:31This on a Funko Pop
24:33There would be no room
24:35Look at that
24:36How great
24:37That must be
24:37The best signature
24:38In the history
24:39Of celebrities
24:39That is tremendous
24:41He commits
24:42We're going to take a break
24:43When we come back
24:44We'll talk about
24:44Your big hit show
24:45The Traders
24:46Alan Cumming
24:47Is here with us
24:47We'll be right back
24:48Hi there we are back
24:56With Alan Cumming
24:58He's the host of
24:59Season 4 of The Traders
25:01Which premieres tomorrow
25:03Tomorrow
25:03And people are
25:04Absolutely
25:04For those who haven't
25:05Seen the show
25:06Explain the idea
25:07Of the program
25:07A lot of celebrities
25:09And reality stars
25:11Go to a castle
25:12In Scotland
25:13Where I play
25:14This person
25:15Who's sort of
25:15This laird
25:16In crazy costumes
25:18Lala my dog's in it
25:19And I make them
25:21Do this
25:22Psychological torture
25:24And make them
25:25Fall into
25:26Very cold lochs
25:27And each night
25:29There's three
25:29Traders are chosen
25:30I tap them
25:31On the thing
25:31And then
25:32They kill a person
25:34Not literally
25:35Of course
25:35And then also
25:37They banish a person
25:38So it starts
25:39With quite a lot of people
25:39But it goes down
25:41Very quickly
25:41And if the traitors
25:42It's actually great
25:44Because you have
25:45You get to watch
25:46People being forced
25:47To lie
25:48And also
25:49We know who
25:50The baddies are
25:51From the start
25:51Right
25:52Yeah
25:52It's sort of
25:53A sociological
25:54Psychological
25:55Who do you have
25:56On the show
25:56This season
25:57Oh
25:57We have
25:58Lisa Rinna
26:00Lisa Rinna
26:01We have
26:02Dorinda
26:03She got put out
26:05Straight away
26:06Last time
26:06And so she's
26:07Coming back
26:08So you brought her back
26:09Okay
26:09Brought her back
26:09From the dead
26:10You have some real
26:12Housewives
26:13A lot of them
26:14Quite
26:14There's four real
26:15Housewives this time
26:16Portia
26:16And we have
26:18Oh and the Kelsey mom
26:19Travis and
26:20Casey Kelsey's mom
26:21Donna
26:21She's a lady
26:22Yeah Donna
26:22Such a sweet lady
26:24Yeah
26:24I really liked her
26:25Did she enjoy
26:27Her experience
26:28I hope so
26:29There's a really
26:30Cute moment
26:31When I
26:32In the first episode
26:33When I asked them
26:34All
26:34And sort of
26:35Interview them
26:35And I said
26:36How are you feeling
26:38Or how are you feeling
26:38Donna
26:39And she went
26:39A little weird
26:41Like that
26:41It's so cute
26:44Were you at all
26:45Intimidated by the idea
26:46Of perhaps having
26:47To banish
26:49Taylor Swift's
26:50Future mother-in-law
26:52From
26:52I mean that could
26:53Get you killed
26:54Well the thing is
26:55A lot of the
26:56I wasn't
26:57But the contestants
26:59The players
27:00Talk about it
27:01Quite a lot
27:01Right
27:01Because they will
27:02Feast on you
27:03They will swarm
27:04They will attack you
27:05I'm a bit worried
27:06About the Swifties
27:07What they'll do
27:07If we
27:08So that's quite fun
27:10It's another
27:10Added layer of menace
27:11Now this outfit
27:12That we mentioned
27:13Earlier
27:14Would be a great
27:15Outfit for you
27:15To wear tomorrow
27:16Because you're
27:16Getting a star
27:17On the Hollywood
27:18Walk of fame
27:18Tomorrow
27:19I know
27:19This is a fun thing
27:23Right
27:23Pretty good
27:25Yeah
27:25It's like nuts
27:28Do you know
27:28Where the star
27:29Will be located
27:30I do
27:30It's
27:31I know
27:31Who I'm next to
27:32I'm next to
27:33Tab Hunter
27:34Humphrey Boger
27:35Steve Irwin
27:38Crikey
27:38That's a great crook
27:39And
27:40Johnny Cash
27:43Oh Johnny Cash
27:44Wow
27:44That's a pretty good
27:46Quarter to be on
27:47Yeah
27:47I think it's on
27:48Hollywood and Vine
27:49I'm not quite sure
27:50But I thought
27:51You don't get to choose
27:53It's just the luck
27:54Yeah
27:54They put you
27:54Where they want to put you
27:55I actually had
27:56A sort of weird fantasy
27:58That I wanted to be
27:58In the kind of
27:59Skankiest
28:00You're not far off
28:03That might be
28:05The most famous
28:06Intersection
28:07In at least
28:08In the country
28:08I don't know
28:09Hollywood and Vine
28:09Yes
28:10Yeah
28:10Hollywood and Vine
28:10It's a good place
28:11To be
28:11Well yeah
28:12Until you find
28:13Somebody sleeping
28:14On you
28:14Right
28:14Or like dogs
28:16Will pee on me
28:17So for those
28:18Who don't know
28:18How it works
28:19A crowd will gather
28:20Your fans will come
28:21To see it happen
28:22And then you have
28:23A couple of people
28:24That you choose
28:25To speak
28:25And who do you
28:26Have speaking
28:26For you
28:27I have speaking
28:27For me
28:28Monica Lewinsky
28:28And Brian Cox
28:29Now that is
28:30Together at last
28:32Interesting
28:33And seemingly
28:34Very random
28:36Yes
28:37Brian Cox
28:39Of course
28:39Was Logan Roy
28:40On Succession
28:41He's this great actor
28:42He directed you
28:43In a film
28:44He directed me
28:45In a film
28:45Which actually
28:45I'm going to
28:46On Sunday
28:46It's closing
28:47The Palm Springs
28:48Film Festival
28:48Called Glen Rothen
28:49So we played
28:50Brothers in it
28:50And he directed it
28:51And I've known him
28:52For centuries
28:53You have
28:53He seems
28:53Absolutely great
28:55He's a darling
28:56He's a real hoot
28:57And how do you
28:58Know Monica Lewinsky
28:59I know Monica
29:00Because we met
29:01At a party
29:02Years and years ago
29:03Like you know
29:03Quite sort of
29:05Early on
29:06In her
29:06Being known
29:08And there was
29:08A party
29:11That she was
29:12Invited to
29:12And we just
29:12Got on
29:13Like a house on fire
29:13And it was just
29:14It was crazy
29:15Like it was
29:16The days when
29:16You know
29:17It was like
29:17It was like
29:18Leaving the party
29:19With Elvis
29:20It was just
29:20People were like
29:20Ah
29:21And so I've
29:23Seen her
29:23You know
29:24Over the years
29:25Be kind of
29:26Reclusive
29:26And try
29:27And sort of
29:27Find her way
29:28And then have
29:28This incredible
29:29Resurgence
29:30And become
29:31This amazing
29:32You know
29:32Powerhouse
29:33Woman
29:33And be so
29:35Successful
29:35And it's
29:35A really
29:35Beautiful thing
29:36And when you
29:37Look
29:37I'll be honest
29:38I looked at
29:39The piece of
29:39Paper that said
29:40I was talking
29:41About the star
29:43And it said
29:43Cox
29:44Lewinsky
29:45And coming
29:46On the
29:46And I thought
29:49Maybe
29:50Knowing you
29:50Because I remember
29:51Your cologne
29:52Yes
29:53I thought
29:54Maybe you did
29:54That on purpose
29:55Is that not
29:56No
29:57I just can't
29:57Help it
29:58I used to have
30:01This fragrance
30:01And it was called
30:02Coming
30:02I remember that
30:04And the body lotion
30:06Was called
30:07Coming All Over
30:07And my favourite thing
30:11I still have these
30:12Because it was a long
30:12Time ago
30:13Is that the soap
30:14Was called
30:15Coming in a bar
30:16Well you are
30:19Going to fit in

31:54Welcome
31:56Thank you
31:56You're all sparkly too
32:12I'm sparkly too
32:13I know
32:13Sparkle night
32:14I think we're kind of
32:15Matching almost a little bit
32:16This is kind of weird
32:16Right?
32:17Really trippy
32:18Yeah
32:18How long have I known you?
32:20How old were you
32:21When we met
32:22Would you say?
32:23Maybe nine
32:23Maybe nine
32:24Yeah
32:24Something like that
32:25I know your mom and dad
32:26And you went to high school
32:27With my son Kevin
32:28Yeah
32:28And we played baseball
32:29Together when we were younger
32:30You guys were on a
32:31Little league team together
32:32That your dad was the coach of
32:33That's right
32:34You had the ponytails
32:35Sticking out the back
32:36Always
32:36Yeah
32:36And um
32:37Yeah
32:38And you
32:38When you guys were
32:39My son
32:39And you
32:40Kevin
32:40He was in the plays
32:41With you
32:42And you guys
32:42Were at the
32:43High school plays
32:44And all that
32:44And you were always
32:45Really great
32:46In those plays
32:47And then it turned out
32:49That you were an actor
32:50It's crazy right?
32:53It's weird
32:54How that worked really
32:55I guess so
32:56And also
32:56I should mention
32:57You worked here
32:58For a summer
32:59I did
33:00I was a PA
33:00Between my junior
33:02And senior year of college
33:03Yeah
33:03PA is a production
33:04So what were your jobs?
33:05Explain what your jobs were
33:06As the PA
33:07Like runner
33:07Essentially
33:08And also
33:09For anything on the street
33:10We had to try
33:11And gather people
33:12To do the answers
33:14And stuff
33:14Right
33:14When we trick people
33:15Into saying stupid things
33:16Yeah
33:16Exactly
33:16Yeah
33:17Right
33:17So you had to go out there
33:18And go get those people
33:19Yeah
33:19Yeah
33:20And that's no fun at all
33:21Is it?
33:22It's so hot
33:23Yeah
33:23Did that make you think
33:24That maybe this wasn't
33:25A great job
33:26A great business
33:27To go into?
33:29No
33:29It felt very like
33:31Yeah
33:31I gotta earn it somehow
33:32And
33:32I see
33:33I see
33:33And it was a good experience
33:35Overall
33:35Would you say?
33:36Absolutely
33:37Yeah
33:37No incidents
33:37No problems
33:38Nothing like that
33:39No
33:39Just Guillermo always
33:40Tried to make us
33:40Drink with him
33:41Is that true
33:47I don't remember you
33:48I don't remember you
33:49Because you were drunk
33:52Is why you don't remember that
33:54Wow
33:55And so now
33:56Oh and you guys
33:57Just got nominated
33:58For what they call it
33:59The actor award
34:00It used to be called
34:00The SAG award
34:01You got nominated
34:02For best ensemble cast
34:03And congratulations on that
34:10Thank you
34:10Do you get approached now
34:12By doctors everywhere you go?
34:15Not as
34:16Not approached as much
34:17As I
34:17We do get like
34:19Emails
34:20Or Instagram messages
34:21And stuff
34:22It's pretty incredible
34:23Yeah
34:23Yeah
34:23Do you find that
34:24If you wear
34:25You don't wear glasses
34:27Typically
34:27Right?
34:28Yeah
34:28It's glasses
34:29And it's the braid
34:30Really
34:31If I don't have the braid
34:32It's hard
34:32I'm like the only one
34:33That doesn't get
34:35Recognized all the time
34:36Yeah it's weird
34:37Because it's like
34:37Superman
34:38In a lot of ways
34:38Yeah oh it's great
34:39Right?
34:39Full on Clark Kent
34:40But reversed
34:41And so
34:42When you are
34:44Approached by a doctor
34:46Who does recognize you
34:47Or whatever
34:47Do they want to
34:48Talk about the show
34:49And how realistic it is
34:51And all that kind of stuff?
34:52Yeah
34:52There'll be all sorts
34:53Of things that
34:54Have come up
34:55That have been
34:56Wonderful about
34:57Like how they can
34:58Finally talk to their
34:59Families about what they
35:00Do or specific
35:01Diagnoses
35:02Really?
35:03Yeah
35:03People who are doctors
35:05Don't talk to their
35:06Families don't want
35:07To know what's going on?
35:09Yeah they don't want
35:10To burden them
35:11With like how hard
35:12Their day could be
35:13And a doctor reached
35:15Out from New Mexico
35:15Who said that
35:16For the first time
35:17His family gets
35:19What a hard day
35:20Means for him
35:20And they're able
35:22To talk about it
35:22Wow that's pretty great
35:24Pretty cool
35:24Wow
35:25Because I find it
35:27Interesting too
35:28Because when I go home
35:31I do nothing
35:32But complain
35:32Yeah yeah
35:33My family is well aware
35:35Of any little
35:36Anything that bothers me
35:38During the day
35:39Is recounted in full
35:40Yeah I feel like
35:41I feel like their families
35:42Used to hear just like
35:43Weird butt stuff
35:44But after that
35:45You know it's like
35:46Good stuff too
35:47Yeah
35:47It is true
35:48When you meet a doctor
35:49It's like you almost
35:50Have to stop yourself
35:51From because you know
35:52Like you want to get to
35:54Like the third question
35:54Will be
35:55So what's the weirdest thing
35:56You've seen up somebody's butt
35:57Yeah
35:57That's actually a note
35:59A doctor gave
36:00One of the writers
36:00Was you don't have
36:01Nearly enough butt stuff
36:03On the show
36:03Really
36:04All right
36:06Oh so that's
36:06Driving the medical industry
36:08In a lot of ways
36:09Yeah it's a lot
36:09So people should keep
36:10Putting things in their butts
36:12Yeah yeah
36:12The weirder the better
36:13We'll feature it
36:14Have you had a situation
36:16Where you have
36:17Had to act
36:18Had to call upon
36:20Your
36:20What you've learned
36:21On a medical show
36:23To help somebody
36:25Yeah I mean I think
36:26A lot of it is
36:27You know I'll run
36:30Towards something
36:31And I don't really know
36:33Why I have run towards them
36:35Like what kind of thing
36:36I feel like
36:36Actually recently
36:37There was a guy choking
36:38In a restaurant
36:39And I just sprinted
36:41Right to him
36:42And I just stood there
36:43And kind of went
36:44I'm an actor
36:45I don't think
36:46I
36:47I shouldn't
36:49Line
36:49So sorry
36:50Sorry the doctor
36:52Didn't teach me yet
36:53So I gotta
36:54I don't know
36:55So did he die
36:56How did that end
36:57Yeah it was a shame
36:58He perished
36:58It was a real shame
36:59Have you had any
37:00Like did they give you
37:01Any real training
37:02Have you had any real training
37:03Yeah
37:04We do a boot camp
37:06Every year
37:06And this year
37:07Was more of a
37:08Refresher boot camp
37:09Kind of going through
37:10The procedures
37:10We'll be going through
37:12Uh huh
37:12Um and I actually
37:14Had some training
37:15Before too
37:15Which is random
37:17You mean in real life
37:18Training or acting
37:19Training
37:19Yeah
37:20Real life
37:21But a long long time ago
37:22I went to this weird
37:24Camp
37:25That was
37:26You went to wound camp
37:28I went to wound camp
37:30I went to
37:31Owieville
37:31Um
37:32And it was
37:34It was this bizarre
37:35Camp in eighth grade
37:36Where we
37:37Pretended to be
37:39EMTs
37:39And were trained
37:40And did
37:41Unbelievably ridiculous
37:42Things
37:43And the hook was
37:44Because like
37:45I'm going to tell you
37:46Something and it may
37:46Make you mad
37:47I sent my son
37:48Kevin a space camp
37:49He didn't go to
37:51People or bleeding camp
37:52I'd love
37:53I'd love to see
37:53Kevin fit in
37:55Any of those
37:56He's big yeah
37:56No he was smaller
37:57Back then
37:58He was much smaller
37:59But yeah
37:59So you went to
38:01Who sent you to this
38:03It was
38:03It was my school
38:04My middle school
38:05It was mandatory
38:06And um
38:08We got trained
38:09In the gym
38:10And we
38:11No one was
38:12Really told us
38:13What this camp was
38:13And then we went
38:14Away to this camp
38:15And I remember
38:16The first
38:16Trauma
38:18Um
38:19We were at lunch
38:20And we noticed
38:20Like one of the people
38:22From my group
38:22Ben
38:23Ben Henderson
38:23Actually
38:24Um
38:24Was missing
38:25And we were
38:26Kind of like
38:26What's going on
38:27And we were
38:28Given radios
38:29And then we just
38:30Hear like
38:30And it's like
38:32There's a kid
38:33Who's been mauled
38:34He's beyond a fence
38:36Some
38:36Some mountain lions
38:38Got to him
38:39Run
38:40And we're just
38:40Like oh my god
38:41And we just
38:42Grab our gear
38:43And like our
38:44Backboard
38:45And we just
38:45Kind of run
38:46And we find
38:47Ben
38:47Who is by the way
38:49A broadway actor now
38:50And he has full on
38:55Like prosthetic makeup
38:57His guts are out
38:58We're
39:00By the way
39:00We're 13 years old
39:02We're all brace faced
39:05With acne
39:05And just the odor
39:06Is just
39:07It's bad
39:08And he's screaming
39:10Again Broadway
39:11Um
39:12And we just have to
39:14Go underneath
39:16This fence
39:17And like
39:18Army crawled
39:19To grab him
39:19Pull him through
39:20And then treat him
39:21And it was
39:22So scarring
39:24Immediately
39:25And
39:25And every single day
39:27And every meal
39:28Would have a new trauma
39:29Afterwards
39:30What kind of a crazy
39:33Campus
39:33Did you make s'mores
39:36Uh
39:37No
39:38No
39:38Well I mean
39:39There was fire
39:39But
39:40Not for s'mores
39:41Really
39:42They had fire
39:43They had fire
39:44What kind of fire
39:45Happened
39:45Well everything got
39:47Bigger and bigger
39:48And worse and worse
39:49And then the final
39:50The final one
39:53Was
39:54We were at dinner
39:55And
39:55More than half
39:56Of the students
39:57And teachers
39:58Were gone
39:59And we all just
40:00Kind of looked at each other
40:01Like
40:01Oh no
40:02I don't
40:04I don't want to do this
40:05And we all went back
40:07To our bunks
40:08And it was like
40:0811.30 at night
40:09And we hear
40:10The radio
40:11And they put so much
40:12Production value in this
40:13I'm from L.A.
40:15So
40:15Yeah
40:16Right
40:16And they said
40:18There was a plane crash
40:19What
40:22And we're like
40:27I don't think there was
40:28But we all had to just
40:32We kind of sprinted
40:33Through this campground
40:34And I'm not kidding
40:36They had like
40:37The fuselage
40:38They had an entire wing
40:41They had real seats
40:43And like
40:43The cabin
40:44And also
40:46A ring of fire
40:47Around it
40:48But it was just like
40:50Two Duraflames
40:51And then like
40:52Six feet
40:53And then two Duraflames
40:54And six feet
40:54So we could just
40:55Walk around
40:56But it was
40:58The most intense
40:59Thing ever
40:59Our principal was in a tree
41:00With a pole
41:01Through her
41:02And it was just
41:07It was bizarre
41:08Do you feel like
41:08You learn anything
41:09That would be useful
41:10In your later life
41:11At that camp
41:12Crippling anxiety
41:13Yeah
41:13And no more camp
41:17Well it paid off
41:19Kind of
41:20I guess a little bit
41:22Maybe
41:22I guess it kind of worked
41:23Yeah
41:23Well season two
