00:00From Hollywood, it's Jimmy Kimmel Live!
00:04Tonight, Kiki Palmer, Kareem Rahman,
00:08and music from Kevin Moody with The Klee Tones!
00:13And now, Jimmy Kimmel!
00:31Thank you very much.
00:32Mr. Kareem Rahman, thank you for everything.
00:35Hi.
00:37I'm Jimmy. I'm the host of the show.
00:40As you were watching, we're coming here from Los Angeles.
00:43Thanks for joining us here on another weird day.
00:46There is so much nonsense.
00:47And I mean that in a very literal sense of the word nonsense happening.
00:53At the same time, there are also so many awful and scary
00:56and flat-out unbelievable things going on.
00:58The world has been turned upside down, mostly for no good reason.
01:02And so, today, we got a visitor,
01:05one of the very few people who might actually be able to tip things
01:09even slightly in a positive direction.
01:11The King of England is in the United States.
01:14King Charles and Queen Camilla are here
01:19to visit President Beef on Wellington.
01:22And also, they have quite an itinerary.
01:26They're going to New York.
01:27They're making a stop at the Wisconsin Dells.
01:30They're going to a screening of the Delaware's Prada 2 at the Burbank AMC.
01:35And I guess they're wrapping it up with a Phish concert in Vegas at the Sphere.
01:40Trump has a particular affinity for the royal family.
01:43And so, in Washington, they pulled out all the stops to welcome the King and Queen.
01:47The Department of Transportation lined the streets with what they thought was the Union Jack.
01:51The British flag turned out to be the Australian flag.
01:56So, they had to take them all down and swap them out.
01:59Somehow, they managed to screw everything up.
02:02It was a literal false flag operation going on there.
02:07Yesterday, the royals joined the Trumps for afternoon tea.
02:10And boy, would I love to be a fly on the cucumber sandwiches for that conversation.
02:15No way Trump was drinking tea, right?
02:18I bet they boiled some Diet Coke and put it in a cup for him.
02:23King Charles delivered a speech today before a joint session of Congress.
02:26His goal in this trip is to try to calm transatlantic tensions.
02:31Trump heard this. He said, the Atlantic is trans now, too?
02:35But Charles gave a good speech.
02:41He paid tribute to his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth.
02:45The monarchy is a strange thing.
02:46Imagine getting promoted because your mom died.
02:50You know, there's a story today that suggested that Trump and the King may be distant cousins.
02:54They might be related, which Trump saw and posted,
02:57Wow, that's nice. I've always wanted to live in Buckingham Palace.
03:01I'll talk to the King and Queen about this in a few minutes.
03:04Okay, I'm sure they'll be thrilled to have such a formidable roommate in their home.
03:10You know, this idea that Trump might be the King's distant cousin is exactly the plot of the movie King
03:18Rock.
03:20I mean, look it up. It's spot on.
03:24Trump was very excited about hosting the King.
03:27And a lot of it is because Trump's mom was a great fan of the royal family.
03:31My wonderful mother, Mary McLeod.
03:34She came to America at 19.
03:37Met my incredible father.
03:41We loved him so much.
03:42We all loved him.
03:43We loved her.
03:43We loved him, Fred.
03:46And they were married for 63 years.
03:52And, uh, excuse me if you don't mind.
03:55That's a record we won't be able to match, darling.
03:57I'm sorry.
03:58It's just not going to work out that way.
04:01Wait a minute.
04:03Did he just make a joke about his death?
04:09My God.
04:11You should be fired for that.
04:15Only Donald Trump would demand I be fired for making a joke about his old age,
04:20and then a day later go out and make a joke about his own old age.
04:30Just when you think they've hit peak ridiculous, making a big thing out of this joke,
04:34they then top themselves and charge, criminally charged, former FBI director Jim Comey,
04:40who Trump doesn't like because he did his job and investigated him.
04:43They charged Comey once with obstruction and with making a false statement, which went
04:48nowhere.
04:49It got thrown out of court.
04:49So now they're charging him again, this time with threatening the president's life for this.
04:55This is not a joke.
04:56They charge him with threatening the president's life for this photo of seashells that spell
05:01out 86-47.
05:0386 is an old restaurant term.
05:05It means get rid of.
05:06And Trump is the 47th president.
05:08Trump's pets in the DOJ are claiming this is some kind of threat or call to violence,
05:13which even he should be embarrassed by this.
05:16Put that back up.
05:17That is not a threat.
05:18That is a piece of art your aunt with a beach house would buy on Etsy.
05:26But he's being charged with a crime.
05:29And acting attorney general Todd Blanche said the crime carries a maximum sentence of 10
05:34years in prison.
05:35And I'm guessing it's not the five star Bikram yoga prison he transferred Jelaine Maxwell to.
05:40He also said this wasn't politically motivated.
05:44And they just you know what they just don't like people named Jim is what I've learned.
05:48So last night America's mayor Rudy Giuliani rose from the grave to weigh in on the ongoing drama involving me.
05:56That I want you if you don't have it.
05:58I want you to dig out the the one from from maybe maybe one of the most distasteful human beings
06:08in this country.
06:08Jimmy Kimmel.
06:15I have to say it hurts to be called distasteful by a man who farted his own pants off in
06:21front of Borat's daughter.
06:24But excuse me, you know what?
06:25I'm being rude.
06:26I interrupted the mayor.
06:27Please go ahead with the broadcast.
06:29Kimmel was making believe that he was hosting the White House correspondence dinner, which I think he did once.
06:37I don't know.
06:38Probably only once.
06:39And about four people watched it.
06:42I mean, bomb as usual.
06:44This is supposed to be a comedian.
06:52Am I?
06:53Is there something funny?
06:55Could you play it one more time, Ted?
07:02He went through the he went through the bother of putting up like a little stage and.
07:09Right.
07:10He's also like an incompetent jackass.
07:14I have to say it's confusing to be called an incompetent jackass by a man who accidentally held a press
07:20conference outside a dildo store.
07:25Who doesn't seem to have any understanding of when videos are running and when they aren't and has a gallon
07:32of squidding dribbling off the top of his head.
07:35But do you think does this man have any family members who can come get him already?
07:41Team Trump has been using the attempt and attack at the White House correspondence dinner to get out of paying
07:48for the ballroom, he said would be paid for by private donors as a gift to America paid partly by
07:55him.
07:56But now and this is a classic Trump move.
07:58He wants us to pay for it to the tune of four hundred million dollars.
08:02But keep in mind that even though we would have to pay for it once the ballroom is finished, none
08:08of us will ever be allowed to set foot in it.
08:10And while it may seem crazy to be talking about a ballroom with a war going on, it is.
08:16It is insane to do this again.
08:19Anybody who suggests that we have an event like this in the times in which we live in a facility
08:25like Hilton, that's crazy.
08:29We're going to have to accommodate the times in which we live.
08:33And Eric, you nailed it.
08:35There are people out there that are nuts.
08:38And that is why they have no choice but to barricade themselves inside a solid gold drone proof ballroom.
08:45And I love that Trump put Lindsey in charge of the ballroom push.
08:51We're going to introduce legislation that would authorize four hundred million dollars to be spent to secure the to build
09:01a presidential ballroom.
09:02Underneath there will be a lot of military stuff.
09:05The estimate is three hundred thirty two million.
09:08We're going to do four hundred million because I think it's probably going to take more.
09:12Private donations can be used, but I think they should be used for buying China and stuff like that.
09:19China and stuff like that.
09:20You're going to spend three hundred million dollars on China and stuff like that.
09:23The only thing Lindsey Graham loves more than war is dinnerware.
09:26He just send in the gravy boats.
09:32Lindsey Graham.
09:33Man, does this guy have the finger on the pulse of the average American.
09:37All he wants is to cha cha past the president's bedroom with a limoge porcelain teacup in his hand.
09:44But his fellow Republicans are split.
09:46A funding bill would likely require 60 votes in the Senate, which is unlikely to happen.
09:51Lindsey Graham can't just wave his little mermaid bubble wand and make it so.
09:56And if he could, he wouldn't be constantly begging for money.
09:59I need your help.
10:01I hate to say this, but I've been outraged twice by Democrats.
10:04Please go to Lindsey Graham dot com and help me if you can.
10:07I've been with President Trump at every step.
10:09The Democrats have money.
10:10I don't know where they're getting all this money, but I need your help.
10:13Lindsey Graham dot com.
10:14Please help me if you can.
10:16Please help me if you can.
10:18Lindsey Graham dot com.
10:19Like a hostage video.
10:20It would be less embarrassing if he was selling pictures of his feet.
10:25If you need money, start an OnlyFans.
10:29So this foil shooting at the Hilton on Saturday night has created a lot of waves.
10:33One of them was it took the focus off of FBI director Cash Patel, who is weathering a storm of
10:40stories about drinking on the job, which is something he absolutely positively would never, ever do.
10:47We will analyze all evidence immediately to make sure that we safeguard this country.
10:52Mr. President, Mr. Vice President, thank you for your leadership.
10:54Attorney General, Homeland Secretary Longman.
10:56Thank you for your partnership.
10:58Well, get that man a roadie cup, for God's sake.
11:01And of course, all of this self-inflicted stupidity is it's a distraction from inflation and the price of gas
11:09and the grifting and the Trump Epstein files they claim don't exist.
11:15And the fact that we are still fighting a war that the president declared we won on the first day.
11:22We're now on week nine of the war.
11:24Trump is said to be dissatisfied with the latest proposal from Iran to reopen the strait.
11:29But a spokesperson for the White House told the New York Times that the United States will not negotiate through
11:34the press.
11:35That's right. The United States negotiates exclusively through unhinged social media posts from the president's toilet in the middle of
11:43the night.
11:44But most people, sadly, I guess, aren't paying attention to any of this.
11:50Most people are more interested in the movie about Michael Jackson than the war in Iran.
11:54You know, Michael, Michael made $97 million over the weekend.
11:58It's the biggest opening ever for a biopic, even though it leaves out a lot of stuff.
12:04It starts with him in the Jackson five.
12:07It goes all the way to him becoming a superstar.
12:09But it ends before he becomes an old white lady who lives in an abandoned amusement park with a monkey
12:17in a leather jacket.
12:19It's not a complete story.
12:21Janet Jackson doesn't even exist in the movie.
12:24His only sister in the movie is Latoya.
12:26And they don't go into any of the many allegations, which is odd for a movie about someone's life.
12:32But also, would you go to a movie about child molesting?
12:35I don't know.
12:36Seems like it might take some of the attention away from the moonwalking.
12:38But controversy aside, whenever a major blockbuster drops, we send our in-house film critic Yaya to review it.
12:45Here he is once again talking about the movie Michael.
12:52Action!
12:53Hi, it's me Yaya.
12:55I talked about the new movie, Michael Jackson.
12:59Rest in peace.
13:01And he's the cop.
13:03I watch him and I do Jackson five.
13:06I meet him.
13:07He's super nice guy.
13:09He said to me,
13:10Yaya, I like you.
13:12Can I take a picture with you?
13:14Can I take a picture with you?
13:15Say yes, please.
13:16And I take Sylvie by my hand.
13:19And I kiss him in his head.
13:21He have oil too.
13:22Too much oil.
13:23And I meet his two, three brothers, Frido, Jamar, and Peter.
13:29And I meet his sister, Latoya Jackson.
13:33And I got a lot of famous music people.
13:36Alton Jones, Angel Bird, Humberding, Tom Jones.
13:41I saw Frankie Sinatra.
13:42I asked him in Atlantic City.
13:44He told me not right now, next time.
13:47And he died.
13:47What can I do?
13:49Anyway.
13:49Michael, one day he do commission for Pepsi Cola.
13:53And he have too much oil in his hair.
13:55He walk next to the fire.
13:57And his hair got fire.
13:59I swear.
14:01Everything I said true.
14:02You have monkey stay with him in the house.
14:04His name Pablo.
14:07Michael Jackson also, he go to courts.
14:10A lot.
14:10People say Michael do bad sexy.
14:14Dijaj, he say he's innocent.
14:16Innocent.
14:17Innocent.
14:18You understand?
14:20Another guy.
14:21He have problem with sex.
14:22Kevin Spacey.
14:24Bob Daddy, he have a lot of baby oil.
14:27Also, the guy, he do the commission and he's so fat for Subway.
14:32Jesse.
14:33And he's in the jail.
14:34And I don't know what the problem.
14:37Go watch the movie.
14:39Good movie.
14:40Michael, you do moon dance.
14:47Oh!
14:48Oh!
14:49Oh!

16:18What a great audience.
16:20Very good to see you. Well, I'm excited
16:21to see you. I'm impressed that
16:23you're here because you have so many jobs
16:25maybe, like a Ryan Seacrest
16:28level number of professions.
16:29Oh my gosh, yes. I live for it. Love Ryan.
16:31Acting, singing,
16:33hosting, television shows,
16:36um, author,
16:38podcast host.
16:39Pilates instructor.
16:41Pilates instructor? Really a Pilates instructor?
16:43Really. I have an app. Practice by Palmer. Get into it.
16:47You do? Yes.
16:48You do? Yes.
16:49Wow.
16:50Can I ask you a very dumb question?
16:52Yeah, no, no, no question is dumb.
16:54This one is.
16:57What is Pilates?
16:59Oh.
17:00I've always wondered what it is.
17:02Well, Pilates is an exercise practice.
17:05Basically, it's a little bit similar to yoga,
17:08but not really.
17:09It's a little more active,
17:10and it was started by a man named Joseph Pilates.
17:13Oh.
17:13Very modest. That's why he named it after himself.
17:15I still feel like I don't know what it is, though.
17:18Like, it's just, it's kind of, is it,
17:20how is it different from yoga?
17:23Because you're not as in many,
17:24as in as many static poses.
17:27Okay.
17:27So, you know, you're always kind of moving.
17:30It's not as intense as what you would think of
17:32a natural strength training workout.
17:34A lot of it you can do without any other tools.
17:37You can do it right on the mat.
17:38You know, a little ab prep,
17:39a little planking going on,
17:41a little bit of, you know,
17:42double leg stretch, you know.
17:44Yeah, I don't like any of that stuff,
17:45but yeah.
17:47Yeah, no, it hurts my stomach.
17:48It's fun, especially on the reformer.
17:50I'd love to get you on a reformer.
17:52Yeah, I've seen those machines.
17:54Oh, yeah.
17:54Maybe sometime.
17:55I would try it.
17:56Yeah.
17:57I could use some reform.
17:58Yes!
17:59It's good for alignment.
18:00Reformed.
18:01Is it called a reformer
18:02because it reforms your body?
18:03I mean, I think,
18:04I mean, it could be true.
18:05I don't know if that's exactly why,
18:06but it definitely does get you into alignment.
18:09And on top of all these things,
18:10you are exercising,
18:12you're working,
18:12you have a son.
18:14Your son is three years old.
18:16He's the best.
18:17His name is Leo?
18:18Yes.
18:19We call him Leo for short.
18:20His name's Leotis.
18:21Leotis?
18:22Yeah, it's a very old school vibe.
18:23Okay, all right.
18:24And are you having fun with him,
18:26I assume?
18:27I'm having the best time.
18:27Does he do Pilates with you?
18:29He actually does do Pilates with me.
18:31It's the cutest thing.
18:32In the morning,
18:33he'll get on the reformer with me.
18:35Uh-huh.
18:35And then he'll get on the floor
18:36and he'll try to do a little push-up.
18:38Okay.
18:38It's really cute.
18:39It does sound cute.
18:40It's so cute.
18:41And is he working yet?
18:43Does he have a job?
18:44Well, you know,
18:44that's what we're working on.
18:45Okay, yeah.
18:46That's what we're working on
18:46because he is very bossy.
18:48I think he could be
18:48a good little baby director.
18:50We've never seen that before.
18:51Oh, he is.
18:52A baby director would be a great.
18:54A little Doogie Howser,
18:55but in the media.
18:57What movie came out
18:59of a three-year-old director
19:00would be pretty great.
19:02Something with monster trucks
19:03and spiders.
19:04Oh, he likes monster trucks
19:05and spiders?
19:06Loves it.
19:06And YouTube.
19:07I got to get them off of there.
19:08Yeah, yeah,
19:08you do have to get them off of there
19:09because there's no getting it.
19:11Once they're in there,
19:11that's it.
19:12They love the flipping.
19:13They don't, yes,
19:13that's what they like.
19:14That's what they like,
19:14the control of going
19:15to whatever they want.
19:16Yes, and I think it's probably
19:18really bad for their brain.
19:20Yes.
19:21And yet we allow it anyway
19:22when we want to sleep.
19:23Well, you know,
19:24everything in moderation,
19:24including moderation.
19:26That's good.
19:29I like that.
19:31Now, your mom.
19:32Yes.
19:33Is she still your manager,
19:34your mom?
19:35Yes.
19:36She is.
19:36She's still a part.
19:37She's the foundation
19:37of the Kiki Palmer business.
19:39And that's not a problem for you?
19:41It's not.
19:42It's not.
19:42It's not a problem for me.
19:43Good, good.
19:44She comes with you
19:45everywhere you go.
19:46She's backstage right now.
19:48Does she live with you?
19:50She doesn't,
19:50but I think that she does feel
19:52that my house is her house as well.
19:54I was actually on the phone
19:56with her the other day
19:56and she's coming up,
19:57you know, to my house
19:58and I think there were like
19:59just trucks blocking the way
20:01and she said,
20:01hold on, Kiki.
20:02I need y'all to move out the way
20:04because I need to get to my house.
20:06Like, this ain't your house though,
20:08Jared.
20:10But I understand,
20:11if you said I need to get
20:12to somebody else's house,
20:13they may say,
20:13no, you're not going.
20:14Exactly.
20:15This is a good point.
20:16So does she make her,
20:17does she act like it's her house
20:18when she's in the house
20:19or just when she's outside it?
20:20She does.
20:21And I think the biggest tell
20:22is that,
20:23and guys, I'm telling you,
20:24this is really not my doing.
20:26She puts pictures,
20:27solo pictures of me
20:28up in my own house.
20:29I swear I'm not doing that.
20:30People come to my house
20:32and they're like,
20:32wow, what is this selfie picture
20:34of you doing up there?
20:35I'm like, my mom put that up there
20:36because she really,
20:37she has this thing
20:38where she's like,
20:38wow, Kiki,
20:39look at how much
20:40you've accomplished.
20:42Look at you.
20:43You remember that?
20:43You look so beautiful.
20:44Then I'm like,
20:44mom, why did you put this here?
20:45It looks like I'm obsessed
20:46with myself.
20:48Do you then take this stuff down?
20:50You follow her?
20:51I mean, I keep it up
20:51because, you know,
20:52it's giving the feng shui, so.
20:55Don't mess up a good thing.
20:57You recently purchased
20:58an Airstream trailer.
20:59Yes.
20:59Is that to put your mother in
21:01or is that for travel?
21:03I literally love this Airstream.
21:05So, you know,
21:05I'm a Midwestern gal.
21:06I'm from the rural,
21:07you know,
21:07suburbs of Illinois.
21:09And I've always loved,
21:10y'all know,
21:11we like the little,
21:11let's go back fishing,
21:12get a little sardines
21:13out the can.
21:14Let's be in the,
21:15you know, RV.
21:16So I wanted this to go
21:17like on a big trip
21:18with my family,
21:19like just, you know,
21:20traveling through America.
21:21Yeah.
21:22And I haven't been able
21:22to do it yet
21:23because I don't know
21:23how to hook it up
21:24to a car.
21:27But you bought it.
21:28And now,
21:29you're not allowed
21:30to put like the family
21:31in the trailer
21:32while you're driving, right?
21:33I know.
21:33Which defeats
21:34the whole purpose
21:35of the trailer for me.
21:37I know,
21:37because it's like
21:38I should have actually
21:38gotten an RV
21:39because these,
21:40you can't even ride
21:41in them when you're
21:41on the road.
21:42So it's like
21:42we're going to be
21:42cramped up in the car
21:43while the RV,
21:44while the thing on the back.
21:45And yet,
21:46can I tell you something?
21:46Because I also have
21:48my whole life dreamed
21:49of having an Airstream trailer,
21:50which I do not have.
21:51But I did buy an RV.
21:52Oh!
21:53And it,
21:54and I couldn't possibly
21:56recommend it less.
21:57Oh!
21:59What's so bad about it?
22:00Everything is bad.
22:01I think we all felt
22:01like we were going
22:02to be National Lampoon.
22:03You know,
22:03we thought we were
22:04going to be like,
22:04yay!
22:05Well,
22:06in some ways,
22:06it's good
22:07for everyone
22:08other than the person
22:09driving it
22:10and repairing it
22:11every five minutes.
22:12Ugh.
22:12But if you're
22:13the one driving it,
22:15which I'm guessing
22:16you might be...
22:17Uh-uh.
22:17No.
22:18Oh.
22:18No, that's the problem.
22:19I've got to find somebody
22:20with the car
22:21and the driver.
22:22Oh, yeah.
22:22Well, then you're
22:22going to be fine.
22:23Yeah.
22:23Yeah,
22:24if you don't have
22:24to drive it,
22:25it's fine.
22:26No, but stick
22:27with the Airstream.
22:27I think it's
22:28probably better.
22:29Yeah, I like it.
22:29And my mom uses it
22:30at her office.
22:31It's right in front
22:31of my yard.
22:32Oh, she does?
22:32Oh, yeah.
22:33I come out there
22:33and see her.
22:34She's like,
22:34I'm just in a trailer.
22:37Just in her trailer?
22:39Just in her trailer.
22:39That's right.
22:40Are there pictures
22:40of you in the trailer, too?
22:42Tons.
22:43And my son.
22:44Gigi Bomber's here.
22:45Her movie is called
22:46I Love Boosters.
22:47It comes out
22:48on May 22nd.
22:57What's your color?
22:58You're not here for me.
23:01Okay.
23:02Yo, yo.
23:02Get the f*** back.
23:05Oh, Christy.
23:06Christy.
23:06What are your thoughts
23:07for the Velvet Gang?
23:08Christy Smith
23:09knows we exist.
23:10Low-class urban bitches.
23:14With all due respect
23:16to urban bitches.
23:24Did she just call us
23:25urban bitches?
23:27It's so early.
23:282000s.
23:29That is Kiki Palmer
23:30and Demi Moore
23:31in I Love Boosters,
23:34which is not about
23:35COVID shots.
23:37It is, well,
23:38explain, this is,
23:39this movie's a crazy movie.
23:41It is.
23:41Please explain
23:42what's happening.
23:43It is.
23:43So a booster
23:44is someone who
23:45steals clothes
23:45and sells them
23:46at a discount price.
23:47So, you know,
23:47it's kind of community service.
23:50And it's Poppy Liu,
23:51Naomi Ackie,
23:52Taylor Page,
23:53and myself,
23:53and then great people
23:54in the cast,
23:55Lakeith Sandsfield,
23:55Don Cheadle,
23:56so many,
23:57Demi Moore.
23:58Don Cheadle is,
23:59like, you wouldn't even know
24:00it's Don Cheadle
24:01in the movie.
24:02Even when we got on set,
24:03we were like,
24:04I can't wait to meet Don,
24:05I can't wait to meet Don,
24:05and they were like,
24:06that's Don.
24:08Really?
24:08It was crazy,
24:09because he really went
24:10into just an extreme
24:12character look for the role,
24:13which was,
24:14it's fabulous.
24:15Seeing him in that,
24:15you, you know,
24:16you'd be like,
24:16dang, Don.
24:17I can't think of
24:18a better compliment
24:19than your co-stars
24:20not realizing it's you
24:22when you're playing
24:23a character.
24:23He must have been thrilled.
24:25Yes,
24:25he's really cool, too,
24:26and I've always loved him.
24:27He is a lot of fun.
24:28Fresh Prince of Bel-Air days.
24:28That was your first time
24:29working with Don?
24:30Yes.
24:31Or whoever that was,
24:32and that, yeah.
24:34Yes,
24:34first time working with Don,
24:35first time working with Boots,
24:37and what an experience.
24:38You had,
24:39it was fun making the movie?
24:40It looked like it was
24:41fun making the movie.
24:42Very fun making the movie,
24:43the visuals,
24:44and then also just being
24:45with the girls all day,
24:46you know what I mean?
24:47So we were just all gagging,
24:48talking, laughing,
24:49and it was a short shoot,
24:51so a lot of long time,
24:52you know,
24:52we was there for hours and hours.
24:53because it looks really good.
24:54It looks like you guys
24:55spent a lot of time
24:56on this movie.
24:57How short was it?
24:58I mean, what,
24:59maybe like just a month?
25:00Oh, wow.
25:01I think.
25:02I could be wrong.
25:02Now I see how you're
25:03doing all these jobs.
25:04You did the whole movie
25:05in a month.
25:06Yeah, that is true.
25:08They got us on a strict program.
25:09You have another job.
25:11Is this tomorrow night?
25:12You're hosting the...
25:13Billboard Women in Music.
25:15The Billboard Women in Music.
25:16Yes, I'm looking forward to that.
25:19Not only are you hosting the show,
25:21you're performing at the show.
25:23Yes, I'm so excited
25:24because, so Boots,
25:25Boots Riley,
25:26even before he was directing
25:27and writing,
25:27he was a great musician.
25:29So he had this idea
25:30of us doing this EP
25:31that his daughter Alina
25:32also wrote on.
25:33So I get to perform
25:34one of the songs,
25:35Text Message Unsent,
25:36which is on the soundtrack
25:37of the EP for the movie.
25:39What does that mean,
25:39Text Message Unsent?
25:41Unsent.
25:41You know,
25:41so it's like
25:42when you want to say
25:43the things that you,
25:44you know,
25:45to this person
25:45that you love,
25:46but you just know
25:47it's never going
25:48to go anywhere,
25:48so it just stays
25:49in a text message unsent.
25:51Now, are you nervous
25:52about doing this,
25:54about performing?
25:55Because it's quite
25:55a lineup you've got there.
25:57You've got,
25:57I mean, really,
25:59Mariah the Scientist,
26:00LeVay,
26:01Tate McRae,
26:01Tiana Taylor,
26:02a whole bunch
26:03of different stars.
26:04The K-pop Demon Hunters.
26:06Oh, my gosh.
26:07Huntrix is there.
26:07That took my house
26:08by storm.
26:09Oh, did it?
26:11Did it really?
26:11Those Demon Hunters
26:12were with us.
26:14Really?
26:14That song?
26:15Leo likes
26:15the Demon Hunters?
26:16Yes,
26:16that one tune
26:17that is in my head.
26:19They're performing, too.
26:21Oh, they, yeah, right.
26:21Yeah, that's,
26:22congratulations,
26:23they got the Academy Award,
26:24too.
26:24Will you bring Leo
26:25along with you
26:26to the show
26:27to see Huntrix,
26:28the Demon Hunters?
26:29He doesn't want
26:29to be there.
26:30He doesn't want
26:30to be there.
26:30He tells me all the time,
26:32Mama, you bother me.
26:33Oh, really?
26:35I think he gets tired
26:36of my life a little bit.
26:37It's a little too much
26:37for him.
26:38Does he,
26:38is he independent?
26:40Very independent.
26:41Oh, really?
26:41Oh, yeah.
26:42We've just spent a lot of,
26:43so he goes to school,
26:44but just recently,
26:45we were in Toronto,
26:45so we were spending,
26:46like, you know,
26:47more time than usual
26:48because he didn't get
26:48to be with his friends.
26:49When we get back home
26:50to LA, he's like,
26:51Mommy, I need to go
26:53to school by myself.
26:55Yeah, so apparently,
26:56TikTok says he has
26:57a secure attachment.
26:58Oh, really?
26:58You know, so I feel
26:59that, you know,
26:59we're doing the right thing.
27:01I see.
27:02You psychoanalyzed him
27:03on TikTok.
27:04And I don't know
27:04if that's the right thing,
27:05but you know what?
27:06No, it is.
27:06They say that's the best
27:07way to handle kids.
27:10Well, it's great to see you.
27:11Congratulations on all
27:12this stuff and the movie.
27:14It's called I Love Boosters.
27:15It's in theaters May 22nd,
27:16Kiki Palmer, everybody.
27:17We'll be back
27:18with Kareem Rahma.
27:24Welcome back.
27:25Kareem Rahma
27:26and Kevin Morby
27:27are on the way,
27:28but first,
27:28we take a moment
27:29to answer the questions
27:30no one would ever ask.
27:32It is time for
27:32Three Ridiculous Questions
27:33with Elizabeth Banks.
27:48Would you rather have
27:50one very long arm
27:52or one very short leg?
27:56I have a question.
27:57Mm-hmm.
27:57Follow-up question.
27:59Okay.
27:59Can I wrap the arm
28:01around myself?
28:02I'll say yes, you can.
28:03Then I think
28:04a million percent the arm.
28:07Like, the leg,
28:08I can't get around like that,
28:10go half-cocked.
28:11Yeah, yeah, no, yeah.
28:12You need two short legs.
28:13But the arm,
28:14I could save kids
28:15up in buildings,
28:17on bridges,
28:17so I would use it for good.
28:20Okay.
28:20And not to steal things.
28:22Do you think that deep down,
28:25airbags want to be deployed?
28:27Yes.
28:28Yeah.
28:29Don't we all want
28:29to have purpose
28:30and be useful?
28:31But they're kind of dead
28:32once they do get deployed.
28:34Well, they can get stuffed back
28:36and do a thing,
28:37can't they?
28:38They're just done.
28:39They're one and done.
28:40Mm-hmm.
28:40Yeah.
28:41I still think they want it.
28:42I think they want it bad.
28:44What are your thoughts
28:45on the high five?
28:47I'm generally pro
28:48the high five.
28:49You are?
28:50Yeah.
28:50You're making me feel like
28:53it's been appropriated
28:54incorrectly from something.
28:56No, it just makes me
28:57very uncomfortable
28:58for some reason.
28:59I don't know.
29:00I don't know why it is.
29:01I love to high five a child.
29:03You high five other adults?
29:05Not in earnest.
29:06In jest.
29:07There you go.
29:08All right.
29:08So the high five.
29:10Oh, come on.
29:12You can do it.
29:15I didn't feel great about it.
29:16It was in jest.
29:18It's okay.
29:18Oh, it was in jest?
29:19Yeah, it's in jest.
29:20Excellent.
29:21Casa Migos Tequila,
29:23the answer to all of life's
29:24ridiculous questions.
29:33Kevin Morby is on the way
29:34on his show,
29:35Subway Takes.
29:36Our next guest
29:37built a career
29:38doing the thing
29:38that most New Yorkers
29:39hate to do,
29:40which is talking
29:41to strangers on the train.
29:42Now he is talking
29:43to cabbies
29:44on Keep the Meter Running.
29:45It premieres May 13th
29:47on YouTube.
29:47Please welcome
29:48Kareem Rama.
30:05So for those who don't know
30:08what you do,
30:09which has become
30:09very, very popular,
30:10so I think most people
30:11probably do,
30:12you are on the subway,
30:14takes our people's opinions
30:16on various subjects,
30:18and you debate it,
30:19you argue with them.
30:20Yeah, for a living,
30:20I get to sit in the subway
30:21and talk to strangers.
30:23It's quite a nice experience.
30:25And it's a really good idea,
30:26I think.
30:27And I find myself,
30:28when I watch it,
30:29wanting to join in the argument
30:31or the agreement
30:32or whatever it is.
30:33Well, you have an open invite.
30:34Okay, thank you.
30:35Anytime you want to come
30:36on the show.
30:36Well, we're right here right now,
30:37so we might as well,
30:38like, so for instance,
30:39some of the takes
30:40that you will debate
30:41with people,
30:42more men should wear lip gloss.
30:44Now, where do you stand on that?
30:46100% agree.
30:47100% agree.
30:48There are only two options,
30:49100% agree or 100% disagree.
30:51There's no middle ground,
30:52especially in America.
30:53It's just,
30:54100% agree,
30:56100% disagree,
30:57move on.
30:57This one I love,
30:58if aliens landed on Earth,
31:00people would stop caring
31:01after two weeks.
31:02100% agree,
31:03but it's because
31:05we would want to
31:07f*** them.
31:10That's what we would,
31:11we would,
31:11we would go,
31:12oh, that's cool,
31:13and then immediately,
31:14the next day,
31:15it would be on Pornhub.
31:16Yeah, I'm sure
31:17it would make its way there,
31:18but for me,
31:19I don't feel like
31:20it would be my first inclination.
31:21No?
31:22No, I'd probably,
31:23like, just feel them out
31:24and see if they're...
31:25Feel?
31:25Yeah, well, yeah,
31:26you're right.
31:26You want to,
31:27exactly,
31:27everyone wants to feel an alien.
31:30Bath mats are disgusting.
31:32See, this one,
31:33I'm, it's tough,
31:34because,
31:34because they're there.
31:35There's no tough,
31:36there's only agree
31:38or disagree,
31:39I think.
31:41Can't have it tough.
31:43100% disagree.
31:45Disagree.
31:45Yes.
31:45Okay, all right.
31:46How about you?
31:47I'm with you on disagree.
31:49I mean, listen,
31:49it's better to have a bath mat
31:51than to not have a bath mat,
31:52right?
31:52I agree.
31:53Okay.
31:53What's the dumbest opinion
31:55you've heard
31:55in these arguments?
31:56One that comes to mind
31:57is that only gay people
32:00should be allowed
32:00to own dogs
32:01in New York City.
32:05100% agree.
32:06100% agree.
32:09It kind of makes sense.
32:11There are too,
32:11there are too many dogs
32:12in New York.
32:13And you know what?
32:13If you love dogs that much,
32:15be gay.
32:18Right?
32:20Totally, yeah.
32:21Do you have people
32:22now coming up to you
32:23and hitting you
32:24with their thoughts
32:25and takes?
32:26Yeah, and it happens
32:27in the most unexpected place.
32:29Like where?
32:30Recently, I was peeing,
32:33as we all do,
32:34at the airport at JFK,
32:36and I'm standing
32:38at the urinal
32:39enjoying myself.
32:40Right.
32:41And then I feel
32:42someone looking at me.
32:44They're right next to me.
32:45Uh-huh.
32:45And they keep going like that.
32:48And I'm like,
32:49okay, this guy's either
32:50a real creep
32:50or he's gonna tell me
32:52his take.
32:53Yeah.
32:53For sure.
32:54Did he have a dog?
32:58We didn't get that far
32:59into the conversation.
33:00All right.
33:00But he did have a take.
33:02Okay.
33:02And it was as perverted
33:03as he was.
33:04Oh, what was it?
33:05It's that because
33:06there's already
33:07a seven-year itch,
33:08we may as well
33:09make it a rule
33:10that every seven years,
33:11everyone gets to cheat
33:13on their partner.
33:14And it's like
33:15the purge for sex.
33:16Oh, interesting.
33:17What's the period of time?
33:19Just a day.
33:20Just a day?
33:20Yeah, it's like the purge.
33:22I mean,
33:22and I,
33:22let me tell you
33:23what would happen to me
33:25and it goes seven years
33:26and then nothing
33:27would happen
33:27all day long
33:29and I'd be right back
33:30in for another seven years.
33:31You just watch it?
33:33You just watch a movie?
33:34You watch Titanic?
33:36I can't do that.
33:37And he,
33:38and I was like,
33:39oh, that's a good one, man.
33:40Like, give him one of these.
33:41And he goes,
33:41wait,
33:42are you gonna disagree
33:42or agree?
33:43Oh.
33:44I go, oh my God.
33:45I go, 100% disagreed.
33:46And then I just
33:47walked out of there.
33:47Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
33:48You can't get in
33:49a whole thing with a guy.
33:50People seem to think
33:51that they can just
33:51throw all sorts of things.
33:52So you're saying
33:52you prefer people
33:53keep their penis in
33:54when they ask you
33:55these questions.
33:57I think that's reasonable.
33:58Look,
33:59I don't mind
33:59if the penis is out.
34:00I am doing this
34:01on the train.
34:02Oh, right, right.
34:02There are penises
34:03all over.
34:04Like, you know,
34:05there's penises,
34:06there's people playing bongos,
34:07there's guys jumping around
34:08doing dances,
34:10there's, like,
34:10you know,
34:10we're giving money away.
34:11It's a whole,
34:12it's a live audience.
34:13Yeah.
34:14It's very much like this.
34:16So you now
34:17will bring celebrities.
34:19It started with
34:19you were just interviewing
34:20people who happen
34:21to be riding the train.
34:22Now you're bringing
34:23various celebrities in
34:24to get their opinions
34:26on this show.
34:27And you've had,
34:27like, who's been on the show?
34:29Bateman was on the show.
34:30I know that.

34:33Okay.
34:34Spike Lee.
34:34Great.
34:35Wow, great.
34:36Uh, Woody Harrelson.
34:37Do you ever run into them
34:39coincidentally on the train
34:40or is it always pre-planned?
34:42You know,
34:42Ethan Hawke,
34:43he was just sitting there.
34:44He was.
34:44Yeah, he was just sitting there
34:45being a cool guy.
34:46I said,
34:46hey, man,
34:47you look really familiar.
34:49And he was like,
34:49you look familiar.
34:50Are you the guy?
34:51I'm, of course I'm the guy.
34:52That's fun.
34:53And then we got,
34:53we got into it right away.
34:54That's fun.
34:55And, um,
34:56now you've got a show
34:57where you get in cabs
34:58and you talk to cab drivers.
35:00Why did you decide
35:01to switch to cab drivers?
35:03Well, my, my father,
35:05this is a relaunch of the show
35:06and my father was a cab driver
35:07when he moved to America
35:08in 1969
35:09and passed away
35:10when I was young.
35:11And I always had
35:12this kind of like,
35:13you know,
35:14weird attraction
35:15to older gentlemen
35:16that aren't peeing
35:18next to me.
35:18Uh-huh, uh-huh.
35:19And every time
35:20I get in the cab,
35:20I just have the most
35:21amazing conversation
35:22with the cabbies.
35:23So I decided
35:24to get in the car
35:25and say,
35:25take me to your favorite place
35:26and keep the meter running.
35:28And we go on
35:29the wildest adventures.
35:30Where have you gone?
35:31I've been to the Russian bathhouse
35:34with Eugene and Igor
35:35and there,
35:36the depression
35:37was beaten out of me.
35:39You know,
35:39they beat the depression out of me.
35:41Yeah, they beat the depression out of me.
35:42They hit me with branches, right?
35:42They hit me with branches.
35:43I went fishing
35:44with a Korean guy
35:44named Young.
35:45I had Bear Mountain,
35:46which is an hour away
35:47from New York.
35:47And I did the night shift
35:51with a guy named Mark.
35:536 p.m. to 6 a.m.
35:55Just the whole time?
35:56Yeah.
35:56Wow.
35:57It was the first time
35:57I got to sit in the front seat
35:59of the cab.
36:00What was that like?
36:00And then you just pick people up.
36:02I mean, it was hedonistic.
36:04When your dad was a cab driver,
36:06did you ever ride with him in the cab?
36:08I don't remember,
36:09but I rode with him in the car
36:11and we sat in silence.
36:12Well, that's good.
36:12We sat in silence
36:13as he smoked cigarettes
36:14and thought longingly
36:16out the window
36:16about all of the mistakes
36:17he's made.
36:18Really?
36:19Interesting.
36:20That's what it felt like.
36:20I don't know.
36:21He wasn't close.
36:21Yeah.
36:22Well, yeah.
36:23Yeah, dads don't really talk.
36:27They really don't.
36:28It's kind of a dad thing.
36:30And as I've become a dad,
36:31I've also become quite silent.
36:34Have you?
36:34Yeah.
36:35Yeah.
36:35My wife's always like,
36:36what are you thinking about?
36:37I'm like,
36:38I wonder if that bolt is loose.
36:41What bolt?
36:42The one on the upstairs bathroom.
36:45Is it loose?
36:46And does she 100% agree or disagree?
36:50Most of the time,
36:51she agrees.
36:52Is the next step for this
36:53you riding around in a Waymo alone
36:58talking to yourself?
36:59That would be a very special episode.
37:01Maybe thinking about the bolt.
37:03Yeah.
37:03Are you worried about Waymo's
37:05wiping out this show?
37:08No.
37:09No.
37:09No, I think we're going to be okay.
37:11I mean, you can't talk to a Waymo.
37:12And I don't want to,
37:13I spend enough time alone.
37:14You can talk to a Waymo,
37:16but they'll put you in a home
37:17if you do.
37:19And I just escaped from one.
37:20I don't want to go back.
37:21You're never bringing me back.
37:22You're never going to get me back in there.
37:23Well, it's a very fun idea.
37:25And it's called Keep the Meter Running.
37:27It premieres May 13th on YouTube.
