Sexual harassment this week. But astronomers, you know those guys who have been over doing this all time . Astronomers have discovered a previously unknown planet only 11 light years from earth that could possibly support human life. They call it ross 128b. Which sounds like a friends spinoff where david sha miller is divorced from rachel and forced to live alone in a sad apartment. But its not, its a plan tet. It might have water which would make it possible to sustain life. As far as they know, donald trump is not president there. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] anyway. Do you know nasa didnt even start looking for new planets until after donald trump was elected president . [ laughter ] so the plan, they have a plan to test whether this new planet is habitable. This is interesting. Theyre going to send Harvey Weinstein and kevin spacey up there. [ laughter ] just to check it out. Meanwhile, here on earth, the house passed the gopbacked tax plan today which is very good news for billionaires and also just your average run of the millmillionaires too. The bill would shift the tax burden from the wealthy to people who really should be paying more, like college students. Time for those little punks to start eating bottom ramen for a while. The president is also about to reverse a law that made it illegal to import elephant parts from african trophy hunts. Thats right. Thats right, struggling families of america, you asked for it and the president delivered. We can finally bring our Elephant Tusks back home from zimbab zimbabwe. Meanwhile, in alabama, there is roy moore is still running for senate in alabama. Even though more women have come forward to accuse him of making unwanted advances. Many at the mall. Which raises the question, where was paul blart when we needed him . [ laughter ] he was off on his thing. What do they call those . Segways . [ cheers and applause ] roy moore has been accused of Sexual Misconduct and worse by nine women, seven of whom were teenagers when the events allegedly happened. But when Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell called for him to step aside, this is how he responded on twitter. He wrote, dear Mitch Mcconnell, bring it on. Now im not an expert in pr, but when youre accused of putting moves on high school girls, maybe dont reference the title of a movie about high school cheerleaders. [ cheers and applause ] dont reference bring it on. Or 13 going on 30. Neither of those. There are a bunch of new accusations made today against a wide variety of people, including sylvester stallone, the first pbs, and senator al franken whose story was amplified because it had a visual aid. This photograph of leann tweeden, whos a radio and tv host, she used to be on the best damn sports show. In 2006 they did a uso tour together. This was taken while she was sleeping. Fortunately she was wearing her gropeproof vest as you can see. She said al franken forced her to kiss him while rehearsing a sketch. Senator franken apologized today twice and she accepted that apology. There is so much of this. I mean, at this point i know it sounds extreme but it might be time for guys i think we might all need to hand our penises over to the police for a few months [ laughter ] until we can get a handle on it. Im going to need the men in the audience to liberia line up, pull them out, and lets get it over with, okay . Pat robertson, the 5,000yearold religious show host, was a little creepy this morning on the 700 club. Im a great fan of the total gym. It is so easy to use.

[ applause ] and happy thanksgiving to you too. Any of you planning to see Justice League this weekend . [ cheers and applause ] i was going to say, thats bad news for them. [ laughter ] but Justice League is the movie that asks the question, can five superheroes with wildly different costumes come together to agree on one overall Color Palette . The answer is yes. Its expected to be number one at the box office. Its getting mixed reviews but in my opinion, they did something historic. They turned aquaman, the aquaman from my childhood, from this into this. And that is quite a [ cheers ] jimmy we might even find out what the hell aquaman does. [ laughter ] there are a lot of superheroes in Justice League but im excited to see the oldest one, whose origin story began in the Supreme Court. The time has come. For heroes to unite. Batman. Wonder woman. Cyborg. The flash. Aquaman. And Supreme CourtJustice Ruth Bader ginsburg. [ cheers ] what are your super powers again . It helps sometimes to be a little hard of hearing. We are not enough. I still have to this day a supply of Strom Thurmond key chains. Justice just got supreme. Cyborg its ginsburg Justice League. You cant handle the ruth.

Im guessing the people at the farm bureau dont shop at whole foods. [ laughter ] i spid 50 for a sack of potatoes there. The cost of dinner is down which is good. Unfortunately the emotional cost of spending three hours with your family this year is higher than ever. [ laughter ] [ applause ] president trump, by the way, his thanksgiving plans, the trumps are spending thanksgiving at his maralago estate in palm beach, florida, with family and fox and friends. [ laughter ] thats got to be some scene, all the trumps gathered around the table, the way donald carves a bucket of kfc, cuts himself an extra bigly piece of pumpkin pie. Pumpkin pie is Donald Trumps secret service code name, did you know that . [ laughter ] they say, you know, that the typical thanksgiving dinner checks in around 4,500 calories.

And how can i come make sure youre okay . Jimmy she was alone . No. She had an entourage of security and people. [ laughter ] who should be fired for letting her forget her fanny pack. Jimmy when you were a kid, lets say moms driving to school or something, one of her songs comes on the radio. Did that ever happen . I dont have memories of that but i have some really awkward memories as i got older of fooling around with someone, and like i remember this one specifically, like endless love came on.

Your life is so much more interesting than mine. I dont know that i agree. Jimmy trust me. Agree. Okay, okay. Jimmy i mean, the most exciting thing that would happen at our family thanksgiving would be smoking. That would be like, you know my aunt chippy breaking open a new pack of marlboros. At the table . Jimmy of course at the table, yeah. That sounds pretty exciting, that would not happen at my house. Jimmy oh, really . No smoking in the house . You do not smoke around my mom, if youre a smoker, outside. My mom was a singer no smoking around my mom. Jimmy that makes sense. My aunt chippy is more of a screamer.

Jimmy it might be worse than hooker. [ laughter ] it was one of the two, jimmy. But it was, you know it sort of became the thing that i was good at for some reason. Just like inhabiting these 18yearold voices. Jimmy oh, you would imagine id meet with the kid and id interview them. Theyd say, i made a computer from scratch or something. Id sort of formulate it into an essay. When i was in the writers room for smilf i got a call asking me to write another essay. Because the last time i did it was maybe three years ago. So i got the message and i called them back, sure, ill do it. But i now charge 10,000. [ laughter ] and he didnt call me back. Jimmy yeah, he didnt. Yeah . Would you like would you follow up and see if the kids got into school . Yeah, april 1st, whenever people get their acceptance letters, that was a more important day for me than i think for the kids because it was like, did i get in . [ laughter ] or did they get in . Jimmy isnt that the worst day to send letters . Youre opening yourself up for an april fools prank right there. Thats a good point, i know. Jimmy so wow, did your kids go into like yale or anything like that . I think my proudest moment, i had one student get into the grad school for architecture at harvard. Jimmy architecture . I know nothing about architecture. [ laughter ] jimmy was the essay about architecture . Yeah, it was about his influences, which it was like jimmy that is really something. Anything a way youre writing characters. It was the first time i probably got paid to write, right . Jimmy i guess so. Illegally, though. Jimmy the actor who plays your mom on the show is rosie odonnell. How did you know rosie . How did you get her to do that . No, so my casting director Deanna Brigidi suggested her name, we facetimed. Rosie had watched two of my shorts that i made. So we facetimed and rosie just said she wanted to disappear into the character. She said, i dont want to be rosie, i want to do something where i can fully immerse myself into somebody else. So we cast her. Shes fing amazing. Jimmy did you feel like shes really capturing your mom . I feel like shes so tapped into my mom and to the character, and she gives such an emotional nuanced performance. And she did say, like what did you need from me, frankie . Before we started the pilot. So i brought my mom up one night, they went out. At first i should say my mom was very skeptical. Jimmy oh, really. Oh, yeah. To anyone i suggested. It wasnt rosie. Every single woman i suggested, no, she cant do it. Shes like, dont even try. So then they went to dinner and they drank two bottles of wine, then theyre Walking Around boston falling over each other. And then shes like announcing to the world my mom, theres no one else id rather have play me shes all excited about it. Even to the point we were shooting the pilot, and rosie had a scene. And my mom came to visit her. And rosie was done with her scene. My assistant went and got them a bottle of wine. Its now a thing. They drink together. Jimmy yeah, yeah. And so i go on to shoot another scene. Im in the bakery. Im in the middle of a take. And my mom comes wandering in with her big glass of wine. Frankie, whos going to drive me home . [ laughter ] as if she owns the place. She didnt care about watching me. Jimmy yeah youve not gotten a report on her, how she thinks rosies handling her . All i know is she thinks rosies her best friend. Jimmy i see, i see. Yeah. Jimmy well, whatever youre doing over there seems to be working out very well. The show is called smilf. It airs sunday nights at 10 00 on showtime. Frankie shaw, everybody be right back with manchester orchestra. Dicky the Jimmy Kimmel LiveConcert Series is presented by mercedesbenz.
