00:00From Hollywood, it's Jimmy Kimmel Live!
00:04Tonight, Johnny Knoxville, Chase Infinity,
00:08and music from Ed Sheeran and an all-star bass with the flea tone.
00:13And now, Jimmy Kimmel Live!
00:30Thanks very much, guys. I appreciate that.
00:33Welcome to our show. I'm Jimmy.
00:36I'm the host of it.
00:38Thanks for watching. Thank you for joining us here.
00:43It's very nice.
00:45Thanks for joining us here in sunny Los Angeles,
00:48home of the 2028 Summer Olympic Games.
00:51Today, well, I don't know if you know this, Gary,
00:53but today was the first day you could register to get tickets,
00:56even though the games aren't happening for another two and a half years.
01:00You could register today.
01:01And let me tell you something.
01:02Any tickets I buy today, there is no...
01:05There's not a chance in hell I'll be able to find those tickets in two and a half years.
01:10I'd have a better chance of making one of the Olympic teams.
01:13This is interesting.
01:14Not all the events for the Olympics are going to be held in L.A.
01:17Two of them will be held in Oklahoma City.
01:19Canoe slalom and softball will be held...
01:23Well, you know the old saying,
01:24only two things come out of Oklahoma City.
01:26Canoe slalom and softball.
01:29Well, what a great time for us to be hosting the Olympics.
01:32All the other countries love us right now.
01:35It's, uh...
01:37Net migration in the United States is down for the first time in 50 years.
01:42In case you're wondering why Stephen Miller got a boner
01:44in the middle of his staff meeting this morning.
01:46Last year, we had around 300,000 more people leaving the country than coming in.
01:52And that's before this morning when the State Department announced
01:55they will suspend processing immigrant visas from 75 countries.
01:59What happened to us?
02:00We used to be the cool nightclub everybody wanted to get into.
02:03Now we're in abandoned Hooters.
02:05Nobody's...
02:06The president's new crusade to turn, um...
02:12To turn the nation of Greenland into Orangeland is not helping.
02:18The foreign ministers from Greenland and Denmark
02:21met with J.D. Vance and Marco Rubio today
02:24to discuss this situation.
02:26What they had to discuss, I don't know.
02:28It's, you want to take us?
02:29We don't want to be took.
02:30That's pretty much it.
02:31And that's basically how the meeting went.
02:33But the Danish foreign minister said they have a fundamental disagreement
02:36and agreed to disagree.
02:38But the prime minister of Greenland was a little more blunt.
02:41Trump said, he said,
02:43I'm going to take action on Greenland whether they like it or not.
02:45According to their prime minister, they most certainly do not.
02:50Greenland does not want to be owned by the USA.
02:53Greenland does not want to be governed by the USA.
02:56Greenland will not be part of the USA.
02:58Why didn't Venezuela think of politely saying no?
03:01I mean, the guy in the hoodie figured it out.
03:06Listen, Trump's not really an ask for consent kind of a guy.
03:10He doesn't have to ask.
03:11When you're a star, they just let you.
03:13And of course they don't want to be part of the United States right now.
03:16Nobody wants to be...
03:18People from the United States don't want to be part of the United States right now.
03:23It is...
03:25It's like being, um...
03:27It's like being cast in a movie that already has Bill Cosby as the lead.
03:32People don't want it.
03:33This prime minister of Greenland, the guy in the blue thing,
03:37is Jens Frederick Nielsen.
03:38He's 34 years old.
03:40Before becoming prime minister, he played for their national badminton team.
03:44He said, hey, maybe we can settle this with a game of racket sports.
03:48We put this guy up against this guy.
03:53Just Roger Will Federer and see what happens.
03:56Winner takes all.
03:58Maybe Greenland should own us.
04:00They seem to be doing a better job than we are.
04:01On the World Happiness Report, Denmark has the second highest score behind Finland.
04:06Denmark controls Greenland.
04:08To find us, you have to scroll all the way down to 24th place.
04:12We're under Slovenia.
04:14The country Melania wishes she never left.
04:18Trump's...
04:18Donald Trump's secretary of real estate, Marco Rubio,
04:23has reportedly been put in charge of coming up with some kind of a plan to purchase Greenland.
04:28He wants him to go there and buy the country.
04:30It's like when you're sending your kid to the store to buy cigarettes.
04:33Make sure they give you change, okay?
04:35My guess is at the end of this, Trump's going to make some kind of deal to add more troops
04:39and military bases,
04:40even though we already have a deal in place.
04:43We've had this deal for almost 75 years now.
04:46It's so nuts.
04:47You know, they did a poll.
04:48Only one American in five supports this idea of taking Greenland.
04:53But sometimes I feel like Trump is trapped in some kind of a weird, horrible curse.
04:58Like, maybe he hates being president, so he's doing crazy things to try to get out of it.
05:04But because of the curse, it backfires.
05:06Like, it's like, what if we defund all the cancer research?
05:10They love it, Mr. President.
05:12They do.
05:13All right, what if I pardon a bunch of scumbags because they gave me money?
05:16What would that...
05:17No problem at all.
05:18No one even cares.
05:19Damn it.
05:19All right, I know.
05:21I'll invade Greenland for no reason at all.
05:25And even that doesn't work.
05:27Nothing works.
05:28The curse is too strong.
05:29Or maybe he's just focused on Greenland to take our attention off a different island, perhaps.
05:35We are still waiting on those Epstein files.
05:39Meanwhile...
05:41Oh, don't get excited.
05:44Those are coming about when we get his tax returns, so...
05:48We are operating at peak hypocrisy right now as we violently stifle protests while simultaneously warning other countries not to
05:57violently stifle protests.
05:59The idea that Trump now has us involved in all these other countries toppling regimes is exactly the opposite of
06:06what he ran on.
06:06He let Ukraine hang out to drive because of this idea, ran on a platform that was basically, who cares?
06:13America first.
06:14That's what he promised.
06:15And now that he's gone completely in the other direction, he leaves a trail of loyal supporters to try to
06:20explain it, including Oklahoma Senator Mark Wayne Mullen,
06:24who we are very fortunate to have on the Armed Services Committee in this country.
06:28Mark is either for or against what they call regime change.
06:33But you just said you are for regime change here.
06:35No, I said I'm for the strikes.
06:37I didn't say...
06:38You said before that you're for taking out the regime.
06:40Yeah, absolutely, because they're the ones murdering their own people.
06:42That's different than regime change.
06:44The regime change is up to the Iranian people.
06:48We didn't...
06:48We're not going actively to remove the regime.
06:52We're going after the people that are killing their own people, and that happens to be the regime.
06:59Well, when you put it that way, it makes a lot less sense.
07:03Mark Wayne Mullen uses his brain the way most people use a fondue pot.
07:07Once, maybe twice a year.
07:10You know, he...
07:11Did you know when he went to college at Jiffy Lube?
07:13That's true.
07:16Yesterday, President Trump was in Detroit where he got a tour of the Ford plant.
07:20I mentioned last night, he got heckled by a worker who called him a pedophile protector.
07:25He responded by saying, F you, and giving the guy the finger.
07:28They got a great picture of him.
07:30That's a real picture.
07:32Hey, zoom in on that weird little hand, will you?
07:34Because...
07:34Oh, my goodness.
07:37I think we had to blur that, but what a twist.
07:41You know, it's funny.
07:42This morning, I read that Trump was holding an MLK event in the Oval Office.
07:46It turned out it wasn't an...
07:49It wasn't about MLK.
07:51It was about M-I-L-K.
07:53You see that beautiful milk?
07:55That's what we're here for.
07:57We're discussing milk and whole milk.
07:59We have some milk here.
08:01It's been sitting here for five days.
08:02Ben Carson, my friend, for a long time, he drinks a lot of milk.
08:06They like whole milk.
08:07Whether you're a Democrat or a Republican, whole milk is...
08:10Right?
08:10Whole milk.
08:11It's actually a legal definition, whole milk.
08:14And it's whole with a W, for those of you that haven't grabbed him.
08:19That's right.
08:20It's not whole milk.
08:22It's whole milk.
08:24Does he think that we think...
08:28that milk comes from a hole?
08:32I mean, if there's milk coming from your hole,
08:34you either need to give it to a doctor or a farm and quit.
08:38So then, after a nice glass of warm milk that was on his desk for five days,
08:43it was time for a little nap.
08:44Congressman Thompson and all the wonderful men to the right who worked so hard on this.
08:50Peter Welsh, it is a bipartisan issue.
08:53And understanding where we are in this country
08:56and how important the health of certainly our children are is so important.
09:01He's getting good at nodding at the right times, right?
09:05Maybe this might wake him up.
09:06But this is...
09:07You know, in any other presidency, this might be the story of the year.
09:10According to transcripts reviewed by the New York Times,
09:13after Trump lost the election in 2020,
09:15Lindsey Graham, the senator from South Carolina,
09:17had to testify in front of a grand jury in Georgia.
09:19So Graham gave swamp testimony saying he repeatedly told Trump
09:24he lost the election in 2020, but Trump refused to accept it.
09:29He said about Trump,
09:30if you told him Martians came and stole votes,
09:33he'd be inclined to believe it.
09:35Of course, of course he would.
09:37And by the way, there is a Martian who would like to steal our votes.
09:40There he is, Grok Tua.
09:43Single-handling, keeping hot coffee in business.
09:47But Lindsey Graham, this guy knew all along Trump lost the election,
09:52even though he was on TV saying just the opposite.
09:55Trump has not lost.
09:56Do not concede, Mr. President.
09:58Fight hard.
09:59And text me back, please.
10:00I miss you.
10:01See, that's the thing about Lindsey Graham.
10:03He's like the movie Parent Trap.
10:06They may look like the same person, but there are two Lindseys.
10:10On the big issues, you need both sides.
10:12Fox News presents Graham Counter-Graham.
10:15This endless, endless attempt to label the guy as some kind of kook.
10:21I think he's a kook.
10:22Lindsey Graham faces off against his equally passionate opponent, Lindsey Graham.
10:27I don't know if we can ever do business with Zelensky again.
10:31You're the ally I've been hoping for all my life.
10:33From impeachment to Supreme Court justices to election fraud to Donald Trump.
10:38Donald J. Trump is the greatest president of all time.
10:41I think he's unfit for office.
10:42No one fights more fiercely for both what he believes.
10:45He's a race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot.
10:49And for the exact opposite.
10:51No, I don't think he's a xenophobic, race-baiting, religious bigot.
10:53He is a problem.
10:54One man, two sides, no middle ground.
10:58Graham.
10:58I am all in.
11:00Keep it up, Donald.
11:01Counter-Graham.
11:01All I can say is count me out.
11:05Followed by Mean Lady Witch.
11:07Only on Fox News.
11:15I would watch that.
11:18The real takeaway, besides the fact that the president is delusional, is that Republicans
11:22like Lindsey Graham, privately they know he's full of it, but they're so selfish and scared
11:26they're willing to let him undermine the most basic foundations of democracy to stay in his
11:31good graces, like freedom of speech, for instance.
11:34This morning, Brendan Carr, the chairman of the FCC, Mr. We Can Do This The Easy Way
11:39or The Hard Way, who tried to bully me off the air, testified in front of the House Energy
11:44and Commerce Subcommittee.
11:45Not one of the Republican congressmen or women asked about that little spat we had in September,
11:50but some of the Democrats did, including this golden nugget from Congresswoman Yvette
11:54Clark of New York.
11:55And most notably, the overt threatening of licenses of broadcasters for carrying Jimmy Kimmel live
12:03show.
12:04To the last point, Senator Cruz, who I rarely agree with, aptly described Chairman Carr's
12:10threats as akin to something out of a mafia movie.
12:13And let me just say, I don't see any Michael Corleones in this room today.
12:18Only a Fredo.
12:22I know it was you, Brendan.
12:24You broke my heart.
12:26The Malfredo's godfather, Donald Corleone, has also been working hard to kill PBS, the corporation
12:33for public broadcasting, which is the organization that funds PBS, voted to dissolve itself last
12:39week after Trump pushed Congress to cut off funding, which led a lot of people to believe
12:43PBS is going off the air, which it is not.
12:46Poor Oscar the Grouch is now living in an actual garbage can, but PBS is still with us.
12:52The PBS social media team has been responding to a lot of posts like this to say, after 58
12:58years, PBS is officially shut down with posts like this to say, hey, uh, actually, we're
13:03still here.
13:04And their PR team just put out a video to let everyone know that even though the situation
13:09is bleak, they're still going.
13:11Masterpiece Theater, Sesame Street, News Hour, Austin City Limits, 22,000 hours and counting
13:21of Ken Burns footage, the show where people bring in s**t from their garage, and the one
13:29where white people find out they're black.
13:32PBS, check your local listings.
13:36We're still here, bitch.
13:39I hope you are here for a long time.
13:42We have a fun show tonight.
13:44Jason Kennedy is with us tonight.
13:46We have music from Ed Sheeran and an all-star band.
13:50And we'll be right back with Johnny Knoxville.
13:52Just stick around.
14:02Hi, I love it back tonight.
14:04An award-winning actress you can see in an award-winning movie.
14:07From the Apple TV movie called One Battle After Another, Chase Infinity is with us tonight.
14:11And then later, from the Apple TV movie, this is F1, the album, with help from an all-star
14:18band, including Blake Slatkin, Rami Jaffe, Pino Palladino, Dave Grohl, and John Mayer.
14:24Ed Sheeran is here with us tonight.
14:27Tomorrow night, old Chris Pratt and Jesse Buckley will join us tomorrow, so please join us for
14:33that.
14:33Our first guest tonight is an unstoppable amalgam of scar tissue, titanium, and nuts.
14:39He hosts Fear Factor, House of Fear, Wednesday nights on Fox, and you can watch it the next
14:44day on Hulu, too.
14:45Please welcome Johnny Knoxville.
15:05Wow, how handsome.
15:07I feel like it's New Year's Eve or something here.
15:10Well, Jimmy, it's my 20th visit in 20 years, so I thought I would dress up.
15:14That is right.
15:15It is your 20th visit in 20 years.
15:17Happy anniversary to us.
15:19Well, thank you.
15:19Whatever you want.
15:23I was a brunette during that time, and you were a little more Rubenesque.
15:29A little more.
15:30Although, tell my pants.
15:31I think they're feeling pretty Rubenesque right now.
15:33I'm having trouble staying in the...
15:35Yeah, you were a brunette, but you...
15:37No, your hair didn't like...
15:38Like, my beard is very gradually turning white.
15:42You were like...
15:42Yours was like you saw a ghost in the middle of the night or something.
15:45Well, you know, I dyed my hair for years.
15:49I see.
15:49Yeah.
15:50And then you stopped.
15:51And then it was, hello, Louise.
15:53Uh-huh.
15:53Yeah.
15:54Did your dad have white hair?
15:56He was white-headed at 19.
15:58Oh, wow.
15:59Yeah.
16:00That's crazy.
16:01Yeah.
16:01That's good.
16:01Go early, and it seems like nothing ever happened, right?
16:04Yeah, I'm pretty happy with it.
16:05You should be.
16:06You are...
16:07How are the kids?
16:08Because now, 20 years, when you started coming to this show, you had no children.
16:12Well, you had one child.
16:14Yeah, chicken butt.
16:14She's 30 now.
16:15Right.
16:16Oh, yeah, she's 30 now.
16:17Holy cow.
16:18It's great.
16:19Oh, can I show?
16:20She's a real estate...
16:23She got a real estate license in Austin, and I got a billboard for her that's coming
16:28out on the 19th.
16:32And our last name is...
16:34Is it real?
16:35All right.
16:35That's your real last name.
16:36Okay.
16:37And she kept your real last name.
16:41That comes out next week.
16:44Wow.
16:48You know, this is the first time I'm realizing your real last name is a venereal disease.
16:57So, that's exciting.
16:58And how about the little ones?
16:59What's going on?
17:00Oh, my God.
17:00Rocco's bigger than me now.
17:01Oh, he is.
17:02Yeah, and Arlo's 14.
17:03Rocco is getting his license next week.
17:08Driver's license?
17:08Yeah.
17:09Wow.
17:09It's frightening.
17:10Wow.
17:11It's frightening.
17:12It was even more frightening thinking about you teaching him to drive.
17:15Did you teach him how to drive?
17:16Can I share a story about...
17:18Yeah, please.
17:19Okay.
17:19I don't even know if you know this story, because it's something I observed.
17:22You were at my house, parked, parallel parked in front of my house, and I came, you know,
17:28at the end of the day or whatever, we said goodbye.
17:31I went out to the porch to, you know, wave farewell, and you backed up into my neighbor's
17:37car, boom, went forward into my neighbor's car, boom, backed up again into my neighbor's
17:44car, and again, and you made, like, an eight-point turn each time hitting my neighbor's car, and
17:51at about time number four, I was like, I better get in the house.
17:57I think something was wrong with my depth perception, because I hit stuff constantly.
18:02And you're hearing, maybe, because there was a loud sound each time that happened.
18:08So go teach Rocco that.
18:11Are you a bad driver?
18:14Terrible.
18:14Yeah.
18:15It's terrible, and, like, Rocco is a better driver than me right now, and he's just learning.
18:20That's good news.
18:21Yeah.
18:22Although, we were driving home the other night, I'm like, get in the right lane, you
18:25need to make a right turn.
18:27Zoom!
18:28Just straight from the far lane right into the right turn.
18:32I'm like, well, you need to, you can't do that.
18:34Are you cool about it, or do you flip out?
18:37No, I'm, I'm, I just, no, I'm pretty cool about it.
18:39My dad was, when he was teaching me to drive, he would just yell and yell.
18:44My sister's like, wait till dad teaches you to drive.
18:46Yeah, yeah, I had the same thing.
18:48My dad was like, he was like, he had an imaginary, um, brake that he kept stepping on when he
18:53was in the bathroom.
18:55My, my dad taught, taught me on a stick shift, so it made it harder, and he would put me
19:00on
19:00a hill and just scream when I screwed up.
19:03And, of course, I'm like, we're going back and forth.
19:05Now, you're, now, the difference between us and our dads is that your children, their
19:11dad is Johnny Knoxville, which is a person who, like, got in a port-a-potty that had
19:17rockets attached to it, and has done who knows how many other insane things.
19:23How do you even tell them, like, drive safe?
19:26I, well, I know, it's a do as I say, not as I do type of conversation.
19:30And they buy into it?
19:31I think.
19:32You know, I hope.
19:34You made a big announcement.
19:35You're going to do another Jackass movie.
19:37Yes, yes.
19:38That's a fire.
19:40When is that going to shoot?
19:42We're going to start shooting in February.
19:45Is the whole gang coming back?
19:47Yeah, we got everybody coming back.
19:49That's a fire.
19:51And we're not writing the smartest ideas ever, either.
19:55I noticed when I said, is the whole gang coming back?
19:57I looked at your hand, and you started kind of going like this.
20:00Oh, yeah, yeah.
20:00I get a little.
20:01Who do you feel is going to be the most problematic of the old gang, the guys coming back to
20:06do
20:07it all over again?
20:09They're, well, I don't, I think maybe I'm the problem for them.
20:12Are you?
20:13Yeah.
20:13Because you do take kind of the role of, like, the responsible adult in these situations.
20:18Oh, what, no, on the set, on the set, I'm not, like, I'm just trying to annihilate
20:24them.
20:24Yeah, well, yeah.
20:25Yeah.
20:26Yeah.
20:26The irresponsible adult, maybe I should have said.
20:28Yes.
20:29So you will try to annihilate them.
20:31Are, Dan, what, are your kids excited about you being a part of this?
20:34Uh, well, I talk to the kids, like, I can't do anything where I have another concussion,
20:38so I'm like, Daddy can break an ankle or a wrist, but don't worry about it.
20:44I'm not going to get any more concussions, so they're all right.
20:46Okay, all right.
20:47As long as you don't get concussed, you're going to be okay.
20:49Yeah.
20:49Well, that's comforting.
20:50I'm sure there won't be any concussions on that set.
20:53Oh, no.
20:54And you guys are writing it right now.
20:57Yes.
20:57Is that how it works?
20:58You write in, like, in separate groups so no one knows what the other one's thinking
21:02of?
21:03Well, Jeff and I will write, and Jeff and I know, like, 98% of the stuff.
21:09Jeff Tremaine, the director, yeah.
21:10Uh, we know, like, 98% of the stuff that's happening, but I don't tell him 2%, and he
21:15doesn't tell me 2%, and the cast doesn't know anything.
21:19Uh-huh.
21:19So they're really in the dark, and they don't like it.
21:22How old were you when you guys started doing this?
21:24I was over the hill when we started.
21:26I was, like, 29.
21:28I was old.
21:29Yeah, but now you're old.
21:31Yeah.
21:31Right?
21:32Did you ever imagine that, what are you, like, 54?
21:3550, uh, a handsome 54.
21:3854.
21:3854, okay.
21:41Did you ever, in your, just, did you ever imagine that you would still be with these
21:47guys doing this stuff in your 50s?
21:49It's crazy.
21:50It's like, uh, when the Three Stooges got old, you know?
21:54I really, I hope it goes into your 80s.
21:57Like, I really, really hope that is the case, because as funny as it is to see a bunch of
22:02young guys, it keeps, it gets funnier the older you get.
22:06Yeah, yeah, colostomy bag bingo.
22:11Yeah, colostomy bag bingo.
22:12It's good.
22:13And now are your, is, like, is your son Rocco?
22:15Like, hey, Dad, I'd like to be a part of this circus?
22:18No, no, no.
22:19He's, like, you're not doing stunts.
22:21Okay, all right, all right.
22:24And, of course, Fear Factor.
22:25Well, let's take a break.
22:26Johnny Knoxville is here.
22:27We're going to talk about Fear Factor, House of Fear, when we come back.
22:35Hey, Lance, how you feeling?
22:37I'm a little nervous, Johnny.
22:39Nervous is good.
22:40It'll drive you.
22:43I feel like I'm about to fall.
22:44Yeah, I feel like it's a good school.
22:47Lance and Blake.
22:48Are we doing just one or one, two, three?
22:50What do you want to do?
22:51Let's just do one.
22:52You ready?
22:53Wait, wait, wait.
22:54After you say one, or...
22:55You should stop.
22:57My God.
22:59Go!
23:01Oh!
23:04Oh, my God!
23:06We are back with Johnny Knoxville.
23:08He's the host of Fear Factor, House of Fear.
23:12Of course you are the host of Fear Factor.
23:14It's like it was your destiny.
23:16Fear Factor was waiting for you.
23:18Each of you were waiting for the other to eventually embrace.
23:21Yeah, it makes a lot of sense.
23:22It's nice to be the one just watching all the things happen.
23:25Yeah, I'm just talking.
23:27Yeah.
23:27And, uh, yeah, but...
23:29Are you involved in the ideas to torture the contestants?
23:33By the time I came onto the project, everything was written.
23:36Oh.
23:37But when we got a little late in the season,
23:39there was an episode where people had to stay up for 48 hours.
23:44And I'm like, well...
23:46And they filmed them at night to make sure they don't fall asleep.
23:48I'm like, you should put those shocking dog collars on them.
23:53So if their head goes down, and it really worked.
23:59They were not happy.
24:01I can think of a president who might need one of those.
24:06He's getting a little sleepy.
24:10So, yeah, so they know in a pinch that they can go to you.
24:13Have you been disturbed by any, even for you?
24:16Have you seen anything that you thought, oh, that's unpleasant?
24:21Oh, man.
24:21Oh, yes.
24:22There was a...
24:23They did this bit with, uh, uh, a part of the bit
24:28where they had crickets in the helmet.
24:30And that was just a part of it.
24:32But after the bit was all done, we were done filming,
24:35I hear the guy...
24:37I'm doing the interview for something else,
24:38and I hear the guy that was in it screaming bloody murder
24:42and, like, screaming and rolling around.
24:44And the cricket had got into his ear canal
24:47and started to eat into it.
24:51He was really bothered by it.
24:55When you hear somebody screaming like that,
24:58do all the cameras,
24:59does everyone just run toward him with the cameras
25:01to make sure you get it on?
25:03Yeah, everyone was running.
25:03I'm like, God, what?
25:04I mean, that's a little much.
25:06I didn't know what was happening, you know, but...
25:09Cricket was eating his ear.
25:10I didn't even know crickets ate human flesh.
25:12I had no idea.
25:13That was one mean cricket, I'll tell you that.
25:17Tell me about Paul Giamatti.
25:20I know you have the story about Paul Giamatti...
25:22Yeah, that nice try.
25:23...to share.
25:24What?
25:24Okay.
25:25I...
25:25Okay, I get an email from Paul Giamatti saying,
25:30oh, I have this movie I want to do with you.
25:33I think we have the email here, yeah.
25:34Yeah.
25:35Mr. Doxville, Paul Giamatti speaking here.
25:37I got your email through channels.
25:39I'm dropping you in out of the...
25:40I'm dropping you out of the clear blue sky to say hello.
25:42I'm making you a humble proposition.
25:43I trust it all is not disagreeable to you, sir.
25:46That sounds very Paul Giamatti to me.
25:49And I was like, we were doing Prank Panel at the time
25:51and Jimmy, you know, producing it.
25:55And I was like, no, no way.
25:57I'm not falling for it.
25:59And so I wrote Paul Giamatti back.
26:01Uh-huh.
26:03Said, if this is Paul, I'm a huge fan.
26:05I appreciate you writing.
26:06If this isn't Paul and I think it isn't, nice try.
26:08I saw this one coming from a mile away.
26:10You covered all your bases.
26:11Yeah.
26:12OK.
26:13Now, you then get the following photograph.
26:17Yes.
26:18From Paul Giamatti.
26:20He sent me a picture of him with his license.
26:25But even still, I was like, yeah, Paul Giamatti wants to do a movie with me.
26:31Nice try, Jimmy.
26:33So I didn't really get back to him about it.
26:36Oh, great.
26:36Oh, good.
26:36I wasn't falling for it.
26:38Your paranoia is preventing you from being in a film with Paul Giamatti.
26:42That's great.
26:43By the way, I cannot think of a worse idea.
26:46And Paul, if you're watching this, there is no worse idea than sending all your personal
26:50driver's license information to this individual.
26:54I'm the one who censored it.
26:58You're really growing up.
26:59You really are.
27:01I have something else I want to show here.
27:05This is from the Knoxville News Sentinel in December of 1976.
27:12And this little boy right here with the giant head.
27:17Is you.
27:18Is me.
27:18And that's Wendy Rutherford and Mark DeBusk.
27:21His nickname was Trouble.
27:23And you could go to his house and cuss.
27:26Oh, really?
27:27Yeah, yeah.
27:28The DeBusks would let you cuss, huh?
27:29Oh, yeah.
27:30And his brother, A.B. DeBusk, was like a champion roller skater.
27:34And he had to wear these, like, Johnny Weir-type ice skating outfits.
27:40And no one said anything to A.B. DeBusk about wearing those outfits because he was tough.
27:45Really?
27:45Yeah, yeah.
27:46Tough roller skater, huh?
27:47Yeah.
27:47And me and Mark, one time someone had went big bathroom in their pants in Mrs. Karn's class.
27:55So Mark and I went around inspecting everyone's, uh, you know, bathing suit area for, and we
28:02found the offender.
28:03It was his cousin, Tommy DeBusk, had soiled himself that day.
28:08And what became of Tommy DeBusk?
28:10Did you reveal it?
28:11Oh, yeah.
28:12We both sold him out.
28:16It was him.
28:17It was Tommy.
28:22What are you up to over there?
28:25I'm kind of in deep to Sal.
28:27Oh, my cousin Sal.
28:28Yeah.
28:28You've been betting with him.
28:29Yeah.
28:29I'm not doing too good this season.
28:31It's weird because I thought Eugene Levy had just walked out on it.
28:35Is he here?
28:36Oh, kind of.
28:37Yeah.
28:37No, no.
28:38No, Sal.
28:39Oh, Sal?
28:40Cousin Sal?
28:41No.
28:41No.
28:42Neither Sal nor Eugene Levy are here.
28:43You can be out.
28:44You're all right.
28:45All right.
28:45You got money going this weekend on Sunday?
28:48Well, I'm going to have to to get out of this pit.
28:50Well, you know what?
28:52Luckily, you have a couple of jobs, including Fear Factor.
28:55House of Fear.
28:56It's Wednesday nights, 9 o'clock on Fox and Watch It the Next Day and Beyond on Hulu.
29:02Johnny Knoxville, everybody.
29:03We'll be back with Chase Infinity.
29:05We'll be back with Chase Infinity.
29:08We'll be back with Chase Infinity.
29:10We'll be back with Chase Infinity.
29:10Tomorrow on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Chris Pratt and Jesse Buckwick.
29:15Join us next week with guests Martin Short, Rachel McAdams, and from American Idol,
29:21Luke Bryan, Lionel Richie, and Carrie Underwood, plus music from The Temper Trash and Men at Work.
29:36All right, welcome back.
29:37We have music from Ed Sheeran.
29:38Coming up, our next guest stars alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in the critically acclaimed One Battle After Another.
29:45I don't want to be your babysitter.
29:47I don't want to worry if you wrapped your car around a telephone pole.
29:49Well, I didn't wrap my car.
29:50I didn't ask for this.
29:51That's just how the cards were rolled out for me.
29:55It's dice, sweetie.
29:56What?
29:56It's not cards.
29:58You don't roll cards.
29:58It's dice.
29:59F*** off, Bob.
30:00Just f*** off with that, okay?
30:01Grow up.
30:03One Battle After Another is in theaters.
30:05It's on HBO Max and more.
30:07Please welcome Chase Infinity.
30:26That's quite a dress you have on there.
30:28Wow, that is a lot of work.
30:30Just something very subtle for today, obviously.
30:32So subtle.
30:33Well, congratulations on the success of the movie.
30:37The individual accolades that you've been receiving are all very well-deserved.
30:42I mean, it's got to be somewhat overwhelming, I would think.
30:44It's really surreal.
30:45I honestly can't even wrap my head around it 90% of the time.
30:49And I just feel fortunate that, like, my entire One Battle family has been so supportive
30:54and just uplifting me this entire time.
30:56So it feels a bit easier to do it.
30:58When I saw the movie, which is great, and you're great in it, I was like, wow, she's
31:01really great.
31:02And then I wanted to watch the credits to see what your name was.
31:06And I was like, wow, Chase Infinity is for sure the best name of the year.
31:11I mean, is that going to give him?
31:15And, you know, poor Johnny Knoxville is named after a venereal disease.
31:21And so he had to change it to the name of the town that he lives in.
31:25Is yours your birth name?
31:27Yeah.
31:27It is.
31:28It's my first and my middle name.
31:29Oh, OK.
31:30They're from two different movies.
31:32So Chase comes from Batman Forever.
31:34Nicole Kidman played a character named Chase Murdian.
31:37And my middle name, Infinity, comes from Toy Story to Infinity and beyond.
31:40Oh, wow.
31:42Really?
31:43OK, that's funny.
31:45So your folks are like, yeah, that's good.
31:47We'll take that one.
31:48We'll take that one.
31:48Like, do Nicole Kidman and Tim Allen know that you're named after them?
31:53I'm not sure about Tim Allen, but I know that Nicole Kidman knows that.
31:56But I haven't met other one of them.
31:58Oh, all right.
31:59Well, you know, maybe that'll happen at the Academy Awards or something.
32:02So One Battle After Another is your first movie, first of all, which is just nuts.
32:08I mean, that's, I don't know if that's good.
32:11I mean, it's like hitting the lottery the first time you buy a ticket, right?
32:14I got very lucky with my first film.
32:16Yeah.
32:17I mean, that's so good.
32:18Were you intimidated going into this situation?
32:20Paul Thomas Anderson and two Oscar winners.
32:23You got Sean Penn and Leo DiCaprio.
32:25Don't forget Benicio.
32:27Don't forget Benicio.
32:27Benicio Del Toro, of course.
32:29Yeah.
32:29I mean, it was really crazy.
32:31I was, I remember my first auditions.
32:33I, I was definitely a bit nervous going into it, but around the time that I was getting
32:37to my last callbacks and chemistry reads, one of the things that Paul had me do to kind
32:41of have me and Leo bond was I ended up shaving his face in a, Leo's face.
32:48Leo's face.
32:48Leo's face.
32:49Because we were trying to figure out, or Paul was trying to figure out what his facial
32:51hair was going to look like.
32:52And he just was like, here, Chase, go in and shave, shave his face.
32:55And I was like, I've never used an electric shaver before, so I don't know what I'm doing.
33:00And I ended up making it crooked.
33:03So somewhere there's a video of me shaving his face.
33:05Really?
33:06Yeah.
33:06That's a weird thing to do, isn't it?
33:08That's a lot of responsibility.
33:09That face is, is like a national treasure.
33:12Oh, trust.
33:13I was like shaking the entire time.
33:14I was like, I'm so sorry.
33:15I hope I don't do anything wrong.
33:17Did Leo get a vote on an amateur face shaver doing that to his face?
33:21Or was it just, is Paul completely in charge?
33:24It was definitely Paul.
33:26Yeah.
33:26And nobody at any point said about Sean Penn, hey, maybe trim his hair up a little bit?
33:33No.
33:33No, really?
33:34No, definitely not.
33:34Okay.
33:35Yeah, because he's got that, you know, although in the movie, I guess, yeah, he was pretty tight
33:39there.
33:40Did you, did you know about Sean Penn?
33:41Or is this somebody that's just like not part of your, I'm sure you heard his name and
33:46everything, but.
33:46Yeah, I knew who Sean was.
33:47And I actually like hadn't met him beforehand until we were shooting.
33:51So my first time meeting Sean was in the scene, which was when Willa flips Lockjaw.
33:58And I was like, whoa, okay, what an introduction to meeting Sean Penn.
34:00That's how it's, is that intentional that they would not have you meet beforehand?
34:04It was intentional, but I ended up, at first I was like, I'm jealous.
34:08I want to see what, what Sean is doing with Lockjaw because everybody else was seeing it.
34:12And then once I actually got to the point, I was like, okay, I'm glad that I didn't meet
34:15him beforehand.
34:16Oh, yeah, yeah.
34:16He was, that was, he was really, that was some performance there.
34:19Yeah, I'd never seen him do anything like that before.
34:22Yeah, okay.
34:22So you're on the set with all these, and did you, do you hang out with them?
34:26Or is it like, do you hang around with like the younger people on the crew?
34:29Or are you hanging around with these actors?
34:31I mean, I was kind of the youngest person on the set, cast, crew combined.
34:35But I felt very fortunate because everyone on set let me observe.
34:39And I, anytime that I wasn't shooting, I would hang around Paul as much as I could and ask
34:44him any questions or hang around Leo when I could and just ask and, and poke their brains
34:48about anything possible.
34:49Yeah.
34:50And they answer, they willingly will answer all these questions?
34:52Or is Paul like, I'm trying to make a movie right now?
34:55There was a couple of moments where he was like, can I please just finish this shot?
34:57And I was like, okay, I'm sorry.
34:58I'll, I'll remember the question and then I'll come back.
35:01And then you ask them the questions.
35:02Is that something you want to do?
35:03You want to direct?
35:04Is that why you're asking all those questions?
35:06I was asking questions because I mean, Paul Thomas Anderson is the director who wouldn't
35:10ask him any kind of questions.
35:11I see.
35:11And you weren't intimidated at all by any of this?
35:15I was like at the beginning, but once we started, I was like full steam ahead.
35:19I'm ready to go.
35:20I prepared for this.
35:20I shouldn't be scared now.
35:22What movies do you know Leo from?
35:24Catch Me If You Can.
35:25Oh, really?
35:26Okay.
35:26That's like my, one of my favorite movies of all time.
35:29I think most people would say like Titanic, right?
35:32Have you ever seen Titanic?
35:33I actually watched Titanic really late.
35:35Like I watched it just last year.
35:37Oh, you did?
35:38Yeah, I did.
35:38But like Leo is Frank Abagnale Jr.
35:40Like that's, that's Leo in my mind is him in that film.
35:44Okay.
35:44All right.
35:44That's your, yeah, your vision of Leo.
35:47And did you tell him that?
35:48I did.
35:48And I ended up, it was so random how it happened.
35:51We kind of happened to cross paths while we were shooting in Eureka and like went to
35:57grab ice cream.
35:58And then I was telling him how much I loved the film because there's also a musical version
36:02of it as well.
36:03And so I was talking about how much I love both of those.
36:05Did Sean Penn teach you how to smoke?
36:08I can't say that he did.
36:11He didn't offer you any cigarettes?
36:13No.
36:13Okay, good.
36:13No, they're all his.
36:15There's a great scene where you're driving and is that, are you actually driving the car?
36:21Yeah.
36:21And that you are.
36:22Okay.
36:22I am.
36:23I did all my own stunts in the film.
36:24You did all your own stunts?
36:25That's good.
36:26Did you know you'd be doing all your own stunts going in?
36:30Ish.
36:31I mean, I had an idea, but.
36:33Where are you from originally?
36:34I'm from Indianapolis.
36:35Oh, so you have to know how to drive, right?
36:37It's like, it's like in your blood.
36:39Exactly.
36:40It's the 500.
36:40Yeah.
36:41Exactly.
36:41But as soon as you're born in Indy, they're ready to go.
36:44You're like prepping for the 500.
36:45Did your parents come to the set?
36:47I don't think that they did.
36:49I think they were honestly like, we'll let you do this on your own.
36:52We believe in you.
36:53If you need us, just call us.
36:54Was it a totally wild experience?
36:56I know it's for you, it's a wild experience, but it's always, I think, weirder for the people
37:01who know you to be sitting at the movies and just see their daughter's head on the screen
37:08really hanging with these great actors.
37:11I mean, that had to be unbelievable.
37:14Definitely.
37:14And the first time that I saw the film was at our LA premiere, but I remember I went
37:19back to Chicago, because that's where I live, and I went with my friends to see a screening
37:23at my local theater, and I kind of snuck in at the very end and sat kind of close to
37:28the screen, and then it finished, and then nobody really noticed until I was leaving.
37:34And then people were seeing me being like, you're not in the movie, are you?
37:37And I was like, no, I am.
37:38And I would just keep walking.
37:40You're like, have fun, enjoy it.
37:43Well, that's a fun experience.
37:44Well, congratulations.
37:46I mean, I hope it stays right up here from there on.
37:50That's right.
37:51The movie's one battle after another.
37:53It's in theaters and on digital platforms right now.
37:56Chase Infinity, everyone.
37:57We'll be back with Ed Sheeran and an all-star band.
38:06Thanks to Johnny Knoxville, Chase Infinity, and apologies to Matt Damon.
38:10Nightline is next, but first with the song Drive from F1 The Movie.
38:15Together, for the very first time, Rami Jaffe, Pino Palladino, Blake Slack, and Dave Grohl,

40:10Out of the city, now we're switching for lanes
40:13Got our eyes on a fresh start
40:16The world as we knew it never was going to be the same
40:19Getting ready for the next part
40:21You know I'm good and I'm back in the good mood
40:24Cause this life is just never a problem with my money
40:27I don't know, I don't know, I'll be fine
40:30Who will tonight? Gotta get out of here
40:34My Saviour
40:39I love you love, we can flow
40:42I love you love, just take me anywhere
40:45I love you love, my Saviour
