Hi. Im jimmy. Im the host. Thank you for watching. Thank you for coming. [ cheers and applause ] i dont know whats going on. But right before i came out, you know, right before the show theres a guy who goes like like right as the theme goes and dicky announces me this guys like go out. As if i havent done this 14,000 times. But there was a big blob glob of something in my hair. I dont know what the hell it was. And i just pulled it and its gross. And i dont know what it was. Did you leave some of your hair gel back there . Guillermo i think it was the station manager. Jimmy was he wearing a lot of hair gel . Guillermo yeah. Jimmy how would he have gotten it onto my head . Guillermo because he say go and then he touch your head. [ laughter ] jimmy thats what it was. Thank you for clearing that up, guillermo. I tell you something. Its a beautiful summer day here in l. A. And suddenly i was on google searching ways to survive a nuclear attack. [ laughter ] fyi, there are no ways, it turns out. President trump today took a break from his vacation to issue this extraordinary threat to north korea. North korea best not make any more threats to the United States. They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen. He has been very threatening, beyond a normal statement. And as i said, they will be met with fire, fury, and frankly power the likes of which this world has never seen before. Thank you. Thank you. Jimmy so as you can see, the vacation is really relaxing him. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] fire and fury and listen. Were sorry we made fun of you. Go back to golfing before you kill all of us. [ laughter ] i watched that clip about a dozen times today. And after viewing number 8 i noticed this. Look at this. Watch as it goes over. The camera pans over to kellyanne that right there, that is the face of someone who just realized she has to get up at 4 00 a. M. Tomorrow to defend this all day. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] by the way, hes saying this. Hes making this crazy threat. From a golf course. Theres probably a little shop that sells range balls in the next room. [ laughter ] hes making threats from nuclear war. U. S. Intelligence, by the way, assessed that north korea has successfully produced a miniaturized Nuclear Warhead that could potentially reach california, oregon and washington, three states that didnt vote for guess who, by the way. [ laughter ] its times like this im glad all our top scientists and engineers are working on instagram filters. Because cnn keeps showing this map that is making me very nervous. Basically, were one trump toilet tweet away from being the United States of florida. [ laughter ] north korea responded today by saying theyre carefully examining a plan to strike the u. S. Territory of guam. So they responded to the president s threat about not making any more threats with another threat. And you wonder whats going on, but theres a lot of history between the United States and north korea. And theres history between trump and kim jong un. Kim jong uns issues with donald trump go back to something that happened in 2009, when the now president did something that the north Korean Leader can never forgive. Dennis, youre fired. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] jimmy you see, he fired his best friend in the whole world with no severance pay. But heres the thing. Donald trump and kim jong un both seem like reasonable men. Im sure everything will work out fine. Trump is of course claiming that hes away from work because the white house is undergoing longscheduled repairs. The workers are replacing ac system which is 27 years old in the west wing which has been on the fritz causing the president to repeatedly overheat. And so far they say the repairs are on schedule for the president s return. Construction workers have started a 3. 5 million renovation at the west wing. The oval office among the rooms being refurbished. The walls now bare. The historic resolute desk removed so that the floor can be refinished. The buildings nearly 30yearold heating and airconditioning system is also being replaced. Very big job where you have to install wiring, ducting, micropho microphone, i mean not microphone. I dont know why i say this. [ laughter ] [ gunshots ] jimmy well, that ought to stop the leak. Well, with all the madness going on right now, with all the very serious things we have to worry about, this clip makes a lot of sense to me. This is from the bbc, where they have an anchor, a gentleman by the name of simon mccoy, who did not do a great job of hiding his distaste for a story he had to cover. Youre watching bbc news. Just bear in mind it is august. This does not look like a walk in the park. Dog owners and their pets in california have hit the waves in the Second Annual world dog surfing championships. Here are the pictures. The competitors main challenge is to stay afloat on the board. This is in the pacific near san francisco. But there are also prizes for the best dressed and tandem surfing dogs. The winner of course being crowned top dog. Thats a shame. Weve run out of pictures. Weather. Lets get the latest. [ laughter ] jimmy i guess hes a cat person. [ cheers and applause ] id watch that. Id love to see that guy read his kids a bedtime story. [ laughter ] meanwhile, youd think that with all thats happening with our neighbors to the north people in south korea would be on edge right now, but if this clip starring steph curry and his brother seth is any indication, they are not. [ speaking Foreign Language ] [ applause ] jimmy theyre having fun. Back to north korea. Which is the bigley story of the if not the year. People are understandably worked up about this. According to a new poll, and this poll was taken before the president s threat today, a majority of americans, 75 , believe that north Koreas Nuclear program is a critical threat to the United States. What i wonder is how Many Americans even know where north korea is. So we went out onto hollywood boulevard, while its still h e here, ch this is what we learned. Do you think the United States should consider military action against north korea . I would say yes. And where exactly is north korea . Its in what, as far as on the map . I dont know. Im horrible at geography. You can take a guess. Up here somewhere . And where exactly is north korea . Oh, god. Here we go. Let me guess, somewhere near here. That is the middle east. Yeah. So no. [ laughter ] i think its up top. I dont know. I really dont remember. Can you take a guess . I know this is africa. Is it somewhere up here . Ooh, thats europe. That is europe. You know, im really good at geography but this is very embarrassing because i dont even remember where the [ bleep ] north korea is. Excuse my language. Take a guess. Take a guess . Somewhere out here . Should we consider military action against north korea . I believe so. And where is north korea . Uh. North korea. Uh. Hold on. Its somewhere over in this area, i believe. Its in asia. Absolutely. Unless they moved it. Yeah. General vicinity. Is it over here somewhere . Oh, no. Thats the arctic. Where is north korea . Oh, shoot. I want to say somewhere in that area. Thats the middle east. Were already there. Here . Thats canada. The scariest part about north korea is it could be anywhere. Anywhere in here . Brazil. Mm. This is its not over here . Australia. Theyve done nothing to us. Right there. No. Wrong again. Thats india. Dang it. That one right there . No. I think thats mongolia. I dont know. Like maybe on here . Restart the vietnam war . I have no idea. Hey, in order to make an omelet youve got to break a few eggs, right . Im not a jeeg rafr. There. No. You want a hint . Its right above south korea. Australia. You just started world war 3. Can you at least point to where you are right now . Yeah. Over here. Nailed it. Im going to say right there. Thats it. Is it really . No, its not. Its right there. Jimmy all right. Well, you know, its [ cheers and applause ] by the way, we spotted a celebrity in our audience. Where are you from . Or do you even know . Im from virginia. Youre from virginia. And youve never seen north korea on the map. Aparentally not. Will you be able to get home do you think or no. Actually no. Did you finally figure out the i did. And do you think now you could remember where it is . Yeah. You do. Okay. Well, well find you again in a year. And well test you then. Okay . Well, there you go. We have a good show tonight.

Jimmy did you stay up early to watch the nominations . Were you nervous about it, thinking about it . . I wasnt nervous so much as i had a busy day, a busy morning. They start the announcements like 8 30 in the morning. I got out of my house at 8 25. I threw some headphones on to cancel out some noise, and as i was on the freeway my phone starts ringing. And im like its probably my friend russ saying it didnt happen, i got kicked in the teeth. Is russ the one that would break it to you . He is. Hes one of my closest friends and my producing partner. Hes always the one thats like buddy, it didnt happen. Im sorry, it didnt happen. Jimmy you look at the phone and its like oh, its russ. [ laughter ] no, he gives good news too. Jimmy okay. Anyhow, it was 8 35, and im like thats it. I let the phone call go. Then the phone rang again and again. And im like i should probably pick this up. So i pulled my motorcycle over and i hit hello and it was russ. And he was crying and he was excited. Buddy, you got nominated. Buddy, you got fing nominated. And i was like, what . What . And then it was like okay, ive got to get back on the freeway and get to work. So i got back on the freeway. Then by the time like i got from the news to the studio, it had maybe been about 35 minutes, and i had 200 and like 72 text messages. Jimmy for real . For real. I didnt know i knew tham people. Jimmy really. You give your phone number out too much. [ laughter ] i guess so. And then there were also like 50 voicemails and about 97 emails. So anybody that i knew jimmy your family was excited, i assume. Yeah. My parents, they were very proud, very excited. Although my father jimmy you brought something. Your dads instagram account. I had to share this. God bless my mom and dad for always keeping me in the world of creativity and being supportive. You know, thank you, mom and dad. But my dad, that wasnt the news of the day. Jimmy this was posted on the day of your nomination. On the day of the nomination. It also happened to be National French fry day. [ laughter ] [ applause ] jimmy this is your dads. This is my dads. And he says, i have missed a few National Celebrations in my day, but i wont miss this one. Today is National French fry day. [ cheers and applause ] but the best was even the day after. The day after was National Chili mac day. So my dad took this beautiful photograph of chili mac. And then the following day was National Ice Cream day. And my dad was like god, these National Days are killing me. Jimmy is your dad a pot smoker . Whats going on here . [ laughter ] no, hes not. Jimmy hes just an intense snacker. Hes an aficionado of snacks. Hes the guy who when he gets on set okay, wherescraft services . Craft services is the place where theres snacks and food. Jimmy lu bring your parents to the emmys . You know, my mom and dad declined. They said theyre holding out for an academy award. Jimmy oh, no. I was like, i made it in tv and im going to the big show for tv. Theyre like no, were going to wait for the academy awards. Jimmy wow. Yeah. They declined. Jimmy i dont know what to make of that. Ill be honest with you. Me neither. Jimmy hey, you know what . I want to mention because i read in the news that Sylvester Stallone is going to be on your show next season. He is. Jimmy how did that happen . So i was in the writers room and im hearing all the stories about whats going to happen for this coming season. And the producers say to me, they have this idea for this big movie idol icon for justin hartleys character, for kevin. And theyre like we want someone like Sylvester Stallone. And i said, thats rad. And then they say to me, do you think hed do it . And i go, well, i dont know. And then they just stare at me. And i go jimmy because you worked with him. Because i played his kid in balboa. And it dawned on me. Oh, you want me to call him. Okay. Yeah. Ill put on my producer hat and ill call him. Jimmy so you made that call. Yeah. Jimmy how did you pitch it to stallone . I mean, i called him. Then when i got on the phone, hey, sly, its milo. How are you doing . [ laughter ] things are well . Hows your father . Yeah, things are well. How but . You know, just writing. [ laughter ] so then i pitch him this idea, this storyline of kind of what his involvement would be and you know, if you watch the show if you dont watch the sloe show plug your ears. If you watch the show you know basically justin hartleys character kind of made this transition he gets a big movie and his costar is stallone. And that was his movie idol. So when i kind of pitched it to sly, i said, you know, listen, my son, you are his movie idol but youve got to wonder where he gets it from. He gets it from dad. So his involvement was a very big part of my characters storyline, of jacks storyline. Which meant a lot to me because sly is one of my idols and i got to work with him. Jimmy this is a good pitch so far. Yeah. It was way more eloquent and took a lot longer. Jimmy its a solid pitch. Did he immediately say yes . He said it sounds pretty good. Send me some pages. So i sent him some pages. And then he wrote me the coolest email back where hed said something along the lines of this sounds this sounds what did he say . This sounds very cool. Ill be back in the states soon. And dare i say it, intriguing. [ laughter ] oh, man. I wish i could remember the exact email. Oh, this sounds this this sounds very worthwhile. Dare i say, it intriguing. [ laughter ] and i thought to myself, i said, i think hes going to do it. I think hes going to do it. Intriguing. So he agreed to do it. He never does television stuff. I think stallone loves you more than your real father does, ill be honest with you. [ laughter ] yeah. It was also one of those things where every time i saw sly thr
