>> Dicky: FROM HOLLYWOOD, IT'S "JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE"!
TONIGHT, GWEN STEFANI,
AND DR. SANJAY GUPTA, AND NOW, JIMMY KIMMEL!
>> Jimmy: HI, HOW YOU DOING? I'M JIMMY.
THANKS FOR WATCHING. I'M THE HOST OF THE SHOW.
WELCOME TO OUR AFTER THE -- AFTER THE FINAL ROSE IS DEAD AND
STARTING TO SMELL SPECTACULAR. WE'LL GET INTO THAT "BACHELOR"
MESS LATER, BUT FIRST, WHAT A MORNING.
WE HAD RAIN AND DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME.
I'M LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. MY KIDS -- DID YOUR SON BENJI
SLEP LATE TODAY? >> Guillermo: YES.
>> Jimmy: MY KIDS SLEPT LIKE THEY HAD THREE TOO MANY
MARGARITAS LAST NIGHT. WE HAD TO DRAG THEM OUT OF BED.
THE THING ABOUT DAYLIGHT SAVING IS IT'S TERRIBLE.
EVEN WHEN YOU GET AN EXTRA HOUR TO SLEEP THE WHOLE HOUR I SPEND
RESETTING CLOCKS. ALARM CLOCK, CLOCK IN THE GUEST
ROOM, TWO CLOCKS IN THE CAR, THE MICROWAVE, THE OVEN.
AND EVERY CLOCK HAS ITS OWN SPECIAL WAY TO BE SET.
BY THE WAY, IF YOU HATE DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME LIKE I DO, YOU HAVE
THIS MAN TO BLAME. FORMER NEW YORK SENATOR WILLIAM
CALDER. HE DID THIS TO US.
BACK IN 1918. LOOK AT THAT CLOCK SUCKER.
YOU CAN TELL HE'S A MONSTER THE SECOND YOU LAY EYES ON HIM.
YOU KNOW HOW YOU KNOW DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME IS BS?
BECAUSE MORE THAN 50 YEARS AGO, ARIZONA WAS LIKE "YEAH, WE'RE
NOT DOING THAT." AND, FOR THE MOST PART, THEY
SEEM TO BE FINE. HOLLYWOOD WAS UP BRIGHT AND
EARLY. IT IS OSCAR NOMINATION DAY.
THE GRAMMYS IMMEDIATELY GAVE WAY TO THE ACADEMY AWARDS.
THE MOST NOMINATED FILM WITH TEN NODS WAS "MANK."
WHICH IS THE TRUE STORY OF HOW HERMAN MANKIEWICZ WROTE THE
SCREENPLAY FOR "CITIZEN KANE." THAT'S RIGHT.
IT'S A MOVIE ABOUT ANOTHER MOVIE.
BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING HOLLYWOOD LOVES MORE THAN
ITSELF. THE ACADEMY ALSO ANNOUNCED THAT
THE CEREMONY WILL TAKE PLACE PARTIALLY FROM UNION STATION
THIS YEAR IN LOS ANGELES WHICH IS WHERE ALL THE TRAINS
CONVERGE. THAT'S EXCITING.
THAT MEANS THIS YEAR GARY OLDMAN MIGHT ACCEPT AN OSCAR IN A
CABOOSE. DO THEY STILL USE THOSE
CABOOSES? >> Guillermo: I THINK SO.
>> Jimmy: THANK YOU, GUILLERMO. HERE IN L.A., NOT ONLY ARE WE
HONORING MOVIES AS OF TODAY, WE CAN ACTUALLY GO TO SEE THEM
AGAIN. COVID RESTRICTIONS ARE LOOSENING
UP -- [ APPLAUSE ]
JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, HOW MANY YOU HAVE ACTUALLY WILL GO SEE
MOVIES IN THE THEATERS? NONE OF YOU.
I HAD A FEELING. MOVIES AND INDOOR DINING IS BACK
AT 25% CAPACITY. EVEN DISNEYLAND WILL BE UP AND
RUNNING SOON AT 15% CAPACITY. WHICH I HAVE TO SAY ACTUALLY
SOUNDS GREAT. DISNEYLAND AT 58%, THAT SOUNDS
LIKE THE HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH.
GYMS WERE ALSO ALLOWED TO OPEN TODAY AT 10% CAPACITY.
WHICH THAT'S A TOUGH ONE. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GO TO THE
GYM DURING A PANDEMIC WHEN I WASN'T EVEN GOING TO THE GYM
BEFORE THE PANDEMIC? MEANWHILE, THIS IS THE SCENE IN
LAS VEGAS. WHERE THE CASINOS ARE NOW
ALLOWED TO BE HALF-FULL. THAT'S HOW IT'S GOING IN VEGAS.
YOU CAN SEE DONNY, BUT NOT MARIE.
ALL THOSE PEOPLE ARE LOOKING AT THEIR PHONES.
THERE STILL ISN'T ANYWHERE NEAR ENOUGH VACCINE TO GO AROUND.
AND EVEN WHEN THERE IS, THE WORRY IS THAT NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE
WILL WANT IT. 49 PERCENT OF REPUBLICAN MEN SAY
THEY WON'T GET THE VACCINE. SUDDENLY, THEY'RE AGAINST
BEARING THEIR ARMS. AND REPUBLICANS, IN FAIRNESS,
THEY HAVE BEEN FED SO MUCH NONSENSE FROM THEIR "FOX &
FRIENDS." THINK ABOUT IT.
HERE'S WHAT THEY'VE HEARD. THE PANDEMIC ISN'T A BIG DEAL.
IT'LL WASH AWAY. IT'S NO WORSE THAN THE FLU BUT,
IT WAS CREATED BY CHINA TO DESTROY US!
WHICH IS IT? IS TRUMP NOT GETTING THE CREDIT
HE DESERVES FOR MANUFACTURING THE VACCINE OR IS IT HOW
BILL GATES CONTROLS OUR MINDS? NO WONDER THEY'RE HESITANT.
I'D BE HESITANT TOO IF EVERYTHING I WAS TOLD
CONTRADICTED EVERYTHING ELSE I WAS TOLD.
DR. FAUCI HAS STRONGLY URGED DONALD TRUMP TO TELL HIS
FOLLOWERS TO GET VACCINATED LIKE HE DID, WHICH HE DID NOT DO ON
CAMERA. HE SAID IT WOULD MAKE ALL THE
DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD IF TRUMP DID THAT, AND HE PROBABLY WILL.
HE GENERALLY DOES THE RIGHT THING.
BUT THIS IS WHAT OUR FORMER PRESIDENT IS UP TO.
THERE IS A BIG STORY LAST WEEK ABOUT HOW TRUMP'S
DAUGHTER-IN-LAW, LARA, SHE OF THE PLUMP LIPS WAS -- SHE WAS
EVENT CHAIRWOMAN FOR A CHARITY CALLED BIG DOG RANCH RESCUE, AND
THIS CHARITY PAID ALMOST $2 MILLION TO MAR-A-LAGO, WHICH IS
OWNED BY GUESS WHO OVER THE PAST SEVEN YEARS.
THAT DOESN'T SOUND SUSPICIOUS AT ALL.
THEY HAD AN EVENT THERE ON FRIDAY AND GUESS WHO STOPPED BY
TO SAY HOW MUCH HE LOVES DOGS? >> SO I DIDN'T EXACTLY PREPARE
FOR THIS, BUT I HEAR EVERYBODY SCREAMING AND WHAT'S GOING ON?
WE'RE GOING HELP THE DOGS. THAT'S OKAY WITH ME.
THANK YOU ALL FOR LETTING ME DO THIS AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.
WE HAVE MANY MEETINGS IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND THE OVAL OFFICE
HAVING TO DO WITH THE SAVING ELDERLY DOGS.
AND THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO DO. AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE.
>> RIGHT. HE HAD MANY MEETINGS AT THE
WHITE HOUSE AND LAW OFFICE HAVING TO DO WITH SAVING AND
HELPING DOGS, SPECIFICALLY MIKE PENCE.
AND AFTER TRUMP POP UPPED TO HELP DOG, HIS SYCOPHANTS GOT TO
WORK POSTING PRESIDENT TRUMP LOOKS BETTER THAN EVER BEFORE.
HE IS GETTING IN SHAPE FOR 2024. THE LIBERALS ARE FREAKING OUT.
HERE'S ANOTHER ONE. "PRESIDENT TRUMP LOOKS FANTASTIC
AND STRONGER THAN EVER." OKAY, LISTEN, I GET THAT YOU
SUPPORT DONALD TRUMP. PUT THAT PICTURE BACK UP FOR A
SECOND. BUT HE DOESN'T LOOK STRONG AND
HE DEFINITELY DOESN'T LOOK FANTASTIC.
HE LOOKS LIKE AN OLD MAN WITH HIS BELT PULLED UP TO HIS NIPS.
HE LOOKS LIKE A BOWL OF MASHED POTATOES IN PANTS.
OKAY? THIS IS A HECK OF A STORY FROM
"THE NEW YORKER." IT INVOLVES THE CHIEF FINANCIAL
OFFICER FOR THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION, A GUY NAMED
ALLEN WEISSELBERG. THIS HAPPENED YEARS AGO,
ACCORDING TO WEISSELBERG'S THEN SO WEISSELBERG'S MOTHER PASSED
AWAY. HE WORKS FOR TRUMP, AND THE
FAMILY IS SITTING SHIVA, WHICH IS A JEWISH TRADITION, A PERIOD
OF MOURNING. EXPLAIN IT, GUILLERMO.
NEVER MIND. IT'S WHERE PEOPLE COME TO THE
HOUSE. THEY EXPRESS CONDOLENCES.
THEY BRING FOOD AND THEY HAVE A LITTLE REMEMBRANCE.
SO DONALD TRUMP SHOWS UP. HE GETS OUT OF THE LIMO, AND THE
FIRST THING HE SAYS AT THIS SOLEMN EVENT, THIS IS WHERE MY
CFO LIVES? THIS IS EMBARRASSING.
THEN HE GOES AROUND TO SOME OF THE MOURNERS AND STARTS SHOWING
THEM PICTURES OF HIMSELF WITH A BUNCH OF NAKED WOMEN ON A YACHT.
WELL, WE ALL GRIEVE IN DIFFERENT WAYS.
AND THEN HE HIT ON THE DAUGHTER-IN-LAW- WHO WAS ENGAGED
TO THE CFO'S SON AT THE FUNERAL. TRUMP HAS DENIED THE
ALLEGATIONS, CALLING THEM "FAKE JEWS."
THIS WOULD BE A BAD ONE TO BRING TO THE WEISSELBERGS.
YOU KNOW HOW THESE RIGHT WINGERS ARE SAYING IT WAS ANTIFA WHO
ATTACKED THE CAPITOL? IT WAS ANTIFA IN DISGUISE?
WELL, ACCORDING TO A COURT FILING, ONE OF THE STORM
TRUMPERS IS AN ARMY RESERVIST WHO WORKED ON A NAVY BASE AS A
SECURITY CONTRACTOR AND IS A KNOWN NAZI SYMPATHIZER.
NOW, HOW DO YOU BECOME A KNOWN NAZI SYMPATHIZER?
WELL, ONE WAY TO DO IT IS TO LOOK LIKE THIS!
HIS NAME IS TIMOTHY HALE-CUSANELLI.
IT'S ALWAYS THE ONES YOU MOST EXPECT, YOU KNOW?
WE HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS ON THIS PLANET, AND SO SCIENTISTS
AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA ARE WORKING ON WHAT THEY'VE
DESCRIBED AS A SOLAR POWERED MOON ARK THAT WOULD STORE
FROZEN SPERM AND EGG SAMPLES FROM MILLIONS OF HUMANS AND
ANIMALS TO BE STORED ON THE MOON.
WOW. THE MINUTE MIKE PENCE STEPS AWAY
FROM THE SPACE FORCE, IMMEDIATELY START BLASTING THE
MOON WITH SPERM. IT'S UNBELIEVABLE.
SO STEP ONE UP FOR THIS PROJECT IS TO COLLECT SEMEN SAMPLES FROM
6.7 MILLION SPECIES ON EARTH. THIS IS THE PART OF THE MOVIE
WHERE THE HELICOPTER LANDS AT FORT WORTH FEDERAL PRISON AND AN
OLD COLONEL FROM THE PENTAGON GETS OUT AND TELLS JOE EXOTIC WE
HAVE A SPECIAL MISSION FOR YOU. WHAT A PLAN THIS IS, THOUGH.
FORGET THOSE STUPID STAR REGISTRIES.
GUILLERMO, NEXT YEAR FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY, I'M SENDING YOUR SPERM
TO THE MOON. >> Guillermo: SURE, WHATEVER YOU
WANT. >> Jimmy: TONIGHT WAS BVP"BACHE"
FINALE NIGHT HERE ON ABC. THIS REALLY HAS BEEN THE MOST
DRAMATIC SEASON YET EVEN CHRIS HARRISON GOT VOTED OFF.
AND IN THE END, BACHELOR MATT DID NOT GET DOWN ON ONE KNEE.
>> I'VE SEEN WHAT PROPOSING A MARRIAGE IN MY FAMILY IS UGLY,
AND IT'S NOT SOMETHING I WANT FOR YOU AND FOR US.
AND THAT'S WHY I CAN'T PROPOSE TO YOU TODAY.
>> Jimmy: SO MATT DID NOT PROPOSE, BUT HE DID GIVE RACHAEL
A ROSE AND HE TOLD HER HE LOVED HER, WHICH IT TURNS OUT DIDN'T
LAST LONG. >> IT'S NICE TO TELL SOMEBODY
THAT YOU LOVE THEM. AND EVERY TIME I SAY IT, IT
FEELS MORE REAL, AND IT DOESN'T GET MORE REAL THAN THIS.
>> I LOVE YOU. >> Jimmy: YEAH, AND WE'LL DO IT
AGAIN. WE'LL DO IT AGAIN.
THAT WAS A WEIRD ONE. AFTER THE SHOW WRAPPED, ONCE
THEY GOT BACK TO REAL LIFE, WE LEARNED THAT RACHAEL WENT TO
SOMETHING CALLED A PLANTATION PARTY AND COULD SUBSEQUENTLY NOT
UNDERSTAND WHY MATT WOULD BE UPSET ABOUT THAT, SO THEY BROKE
UP. AND NOT EVEN THE PRESSURE OF
TELEVISED DISCOMFORT COULD GET THEM BACK TOGETHER.
>> WELL, IF YOU ALL WANT TO SHARE ONE FINAL EMBRACE.
[ SIGH ]
>> I DON'T KNOW IF IT EVER NOT HURT HEARING THOSE THINGS.
>> Jimmy: IT WAS A NIGHT OF MANY SIGHS.
IT WAS A NIGHT THAT ALMOST MAKES YOU QUESTION THE SANCTITY OF
"THE BACHELOR" FRANCHISE ITSELF. [ SIGHING ]
>> Jimmy: AND LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, BREATHING LIKE THAT
IS AN ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS THING TO DO DURING A PANDEMIC.
OF COURSE, THEY COULDN'T END THE SEASON ON A DOWN NOTE SO FILL IN
HOST EMMANUEL ACHO DID HIS BEST TO PUT SOME MYSTERY IN THE MIX.
>> WHEN WE RETURN, WE'RE GOING TRY TO TURN THE CORNER HERE.
WE'RE GOING TO MEET OUR NEW BACHELORETTE.
AND IF YOU THINK YOU KNOW WHO IT IS, YOU MIGHT BE WRONG, BUT YOU
MIGHT NOT BE. >> Jimmy: BUT YOU ALSO MIGHT BE.
COVER ALL THE BASES. SO THEN THEY CAME BACK WITH THE
BIG REVEAL WHICH WAS WHO WILL BE THE NEXT YOUNG HOPE TO FEEL TRY
AND ULTIMATELY FAIL TO FIND LOVE?
>> SHALL WE TELL "BACHELOR" NATION?
>> WE'RE THE BACHELORETTES. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
TWO SEPARATE SEASONS, TWO SEPARATE WOMEN, TWO SEPARATE
JOURNEYS, HOPEFULLY ENDING UP IN TWO SEPARATE ENGAGEMENTS.
CONGRATULATIONS, LADY. >> Jimmy: TWO?
TWO IS TOO MANY. I DON'T WANT TWO.
I WANT ONE. I WANT NONE IS REALLY WHAT I
WANT, BUT -- SO NOW WE HAVE THE NEXT TWO BACHELORETTES.
ONE IS MICHELLE WHO WAS MATT'S ALTERNATE, AND KATIE, WHO YOU
MAY REMEMBER AS THE GAL WHO SHOWED UP WITH A SEX TOY THIS
SEASON. SO CONGRATULATIONS, LADIES.
YOU ARE ABOUT TO EMBARK ON A JOURNEY THROUGH EMOTIONAL HELL.
I ALSO WANT TO MENTION THAT, ONCE AGAIN, MY WIFE MOLLY
CORRECTLY PREDICTED WHO THE BACHELOR WOULD PICK.
TURNED OUT TO BE THE RACIST ONE, BUT SHE PICKED HER.
MOLLY HAS NOW CHOSEN NINE OF THE LAST 12 WINNERS ON "THE
BACHELOR" AND "BACHELORETTE." THAT'S 75%.
THAT'S MORE EFFECTIVE THAN THE JOHNSON & JOHNSON VACCINE.
ONE MORE ITEM. SHOULD WE JUST MARK THE FIRST
ANNIVERSARY OF THE COVID LOCKDOWNS.
WE SENT A CAMERA DOWN TO THE FIRST STREET FARMER'S MARKET TO
ASK PEOPLE WHAT THEIR LIVES HAVE BEEN LIKE OVER THE PAST YEAR.
AND THEN SINCE EVERYONE HAD THEIR MOUTH COVERED- WE SWAPPED
THEIR VOICES IN A NEW EDITION OF "MASKING QUESTIONS."
>> WE'RE TALKING TO PEOPLE ABOUT THE PANDEMIC.
LAUREN, WHAT HAS BEEN THE TOUGHEST PART PANDEMIC?
>> THE NEW WAY OF LIVING. EVERYTHING IS CHANGED NOW.
>> HOW ABOUT YOU, ISAIAH? WHAT IS THE TOUGHEST PART OF THE
PANDEMIC? >> I CAN'T GO ON DATES LIKE I
USED TO. EVERYTHING IS CLOSED.
THE STUFF I WANT TO DO, I CAN'T DO.
I HAVE TO STAY AT HOME, FOR THE MOST PART.
>> ISABELLA, WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING OVER THIS PAST YEAR TO
KEEP YOURSELF BUSY DURING THE LOCKDOWN?
>> WELL, I'M ACTUALLY A MENTAL HEALTH THERAPIST.
SO I HAVE BEEN SEEING CLIENTS THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE TIME.
>> TATI, WHAT DO YOU DO TO KEEP YOURSELF SANE DURING THE
LOCKDOWN? >> PLAY WITH MY DOLLS AND DRAW
RANDOM THINGS, REALLY. SO I JUST RUN AROUND IN THE YARD
TO KEEP MY ENERGY UP. >> WHAT'S BEEN THE TOUGHEST PART
ABOUT LOCKDOWN FOR YOU? >> I DON'T KNOW.
JUST NOT SEEING ENOUGH PEOPLE, YOU KNOW.
NOT THE INTERACTION. >> WHAT'S BEEN THE TOUGHEST PART
ABOUT THE LOCKDOWN FOR THE LAST YEAR FOR YOU?
>> I'LL JUST SAY THIS. BEING AN OLDER SINGLE BLACK
WOMAN AND COMING THROUGH BLACK LIVES MATTER AND AN
INSURRECTION, THIS HAS BEEN THE HARDEST TIME THAT I HAVE EVER
LIVED IN LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA.
EARTHQUAKES INCLUDED. >> LET ME ASK YOU THIS, DANA.
WHAT IS SOMETHING KWEZ HAS BEEN DOING?
>> DANA GREW UP WITH HER GRANDPARENTS.
THEY HAD HER CLEANING THE HOUSE LIKE A SLAVE.
NOW SHE IS RELEASING THAT TRAUMA ON TO ME.
>> ANYTHING THAT DANA DOES THAT KIND OF ANNOYS YOU?
>> HE LIKES TO LEAVE LIKE LITTLE HAIRS ON THE BATHROOM FLOOR.
AND I THINK HE SHOULD KIND OF SWEEP THEM UP, BUT THEN HE
DOESN'T ALWAYS HAVE TIME, BUT IT'S KIND OF ANNOYING.
>> I KEEP THE BATHROOM CLEAN, THOUGH.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND. I CLEAN THE BATHROOM.
>> WHAT I'M SAYING, KEEP THE BATHROOM CLEAN AND WE WOULDN'T
HAVE ISSUE. >> HAVE I GREAT CLEANING HABITS.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND. >> BUT YOU DON'T CLEAN IT THAT
THOROUGHLY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS IS
SO CONFUSING. >> THAT'S THE THING.
SHE LOVES TO USE THE WORD CONFUSING.
>> HE DOESN'T HAVE GREAT CLEANING HABITS.
IF HE DID, WE WOULDN'T BE HAVING THIS DISCUSSION.
SO I DON'T GET WHAT'S SO CONFUSING ABOUT THIS.
>> NOW I AM CONFUSED. >> YOU ARE CONFUSED.
>> Jimmy: WANDERED INTO SOMETHING THERE.
HEY, WE GOT A GOOD SHOW FOR YOU TONIGHT.
DR. SANJAY GUPTA IS WITH US. AND WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH
GWEN STEFANI. SO STICK AROUND.
♪ >> Jimmy: HELLO THERE.
TONIGHT IS THE CHIEF MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT FOR CNN.
DR. SANJAY GUPTA IS WITH US. LATER THIS WEEK, WE'VE GOT NEW
SHOWS WITH LIONEL RICHIE, ANTHONY MACKIE, EDGAR RAMIREZ,
JEFFREY DEAN MORGAN AND OUR FORMER FIRST LADY,
MICHELLE OBAMA WILL BE WITH US TOMORROW NIGHT, AND WE WILL HEAR
MUSIC FROM BRITTANY HOWARD, TUNE-YARDS, AND CHESCA FEATURING
DE LA GHETTO & OFFSET. PLEASE JOIN US FOR THAT.
OUR FIRST GUEST IS AN ENORMOUSLY TALENTED SINGER, SONGWRITER,
DESIGNER, AND PROBABLY THE ONLY ARTIST EVER TO APPEAR ON BOTH
THE COUNTRY MUSIC AND SKA CHARTS.
HER BRAND-NEW SINGLE IS CALLED "SLOW CLAP."
IT'S OUT NOW. PLEASE SAY HELLO TO GWEN
STEFANI. HI, GWEN.
>> HI! >> HOW ARE YOU?
>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. >> IT'S VERY GOOD TO SEE YOU.
WAIT A MINUTE, YOU'RE NOT IN OKLAHOMA IN THAT DRESS, ARE YOU?
>> NO, I GOT MADE UP FOR YOU. NO, L.A.
I'M IN L.A. I JUST GOT BACK.
>> Jimmy: YOU LOOK FANTASTIC. HOW IS IT IN OKLAHOMA?
I ALWAYS IMAGINE LIKE GREEN ACRE, YOU BEING OUT THERE.
>> IT'S NOT THAT GREEN RIGHT NOW.
BUT IT IS -- IT'S PRETTY MAGIC, I HAVE TO SAY.
I HAVE HAD NO IDEA MYSELF THAT IT WAS SUCH AN AMAZING PLACE.
BUT IT FEELS LIKE YOU KIND OF GO INTO A PORTAL AND YOU'RE LIKE
ALL OF THE SUDDEN IN NATURE. AND I GET TO BE LIKE
FACE-TO-FACE WITH BLAKE SHELTON EVERY DAY.
>> Jimmy: OH MY GOD. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE.
I DREAM ABOUT IT AT NIGHT SOMETIMES.
AND I LOOK UP AT HIM AND I GO THERE YOU ARE.
AND THEN MY EYES OPEN AND HE IS NOT THERE ANYMORE.
>> YOU SHOULD SEE THOSE EYES UNDER THE OKLAHOMA STARS.
>> Jimmy: OH, ONE CAN ONLY IMAGINE.
BLAKE DOES SEEM LIKE A VERY, VERY GOOD GUY.
AND YOU ARE A GREAT PERSON TOO. AND LIME GLAD YOU GUYS ARE
TOGETHER. AND IT DOES TICKLE ME.
BECAUSE I KNOW, YOU KNOW, I REMEMBER BACK WHEN I WAS
STARTING OUT HERE ON THE RADIO, ON KROQ LIKE IN THE EARLY VERY
EARLY '90s, WHEN YOU GUYS WERE JUST WITH NO DOUBT, YOU WERE
JUST PUTTING THINGS TOGETHER. NOW YOU HAVE A SONG, TWO SONGS
ON THE COUNTRY MUSIC CHARTS. >> I KNOW.
>> >> Jimmy: WHO HAVE EVER IMAGINED THAT?
>> I WOULD HAVE NEVER IMAGINED THAT, COME ON.
IT'S SO FAR OUT THERE THAT I JUST -- IT'S HARD TO -- IT'S
HARD TO EVEN REMEMBER MY OTHER LIFE BACK THEN, YOU KNOW.
BUT HONESTLY, BEING ACTUALLY OPENED UP TO THE COUNTRY MUSIC
GENRE HAS BEEN REALLY COOL. BECAUSE I KIND OF DEFINE
MYSELF -- WHAT I FEEL LIKE MAKES ME FEEL GOOD ABOUT MYSELF IS MY
SONGWRITING. THAT WHAT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I'M
ACTUALLY CONTRIBUTING TO THE WORLD.
AND SOME OF THE SONGWRITING IN COUNTRY MUSIC IS JUST, YOU KNOW,
MASTERFUL. AND IT'S STORYTELLING.
AND IT'S VERY FAMILIAR IN A LOT OF WAYS IN THE SENSE THAT LIKE
THE STORY IS GETTING ACROSS. THE HEART IS GETTING ACROSS, AND
THE MESSAGE. AND SO I JUST LEARNED A LOT.
I'M JUST SO HAPPY I TO BE OPENED UP TO THE WHOLE GENRE.
>> Jimmy: NOW, DOES BLAKE FEEL THAT WAY ABOUT SKA?
>> NOT QUITE. >> Jimmy: NOT QUITE.
>> NOT QUITE. BUT I THINK HE -- I THINK HE IS
VERY CURIOUS ABOUT IT. AND HE'S A MUSICAL JUKEBOX.
SO I FEEL LIKE HE IS ALWAYS CONSTANTLY ASKING ME.
WE'LL GET ONLINE. HE'LL LIST ALL THESE RANDOM SKA
BANDS THAT I'VE NEVER HEARD IN MY LIFE THAT I DON'T EVEN KNOW
REALLY EXISTED OR NOT. AND HE'LL BE WHAT ABOUT -- THIS
IS ACTUALLY WHEN YOU PROBABLY KNOW.
LET'S GO BOWLING. AND HE'LL PICK THESE BANDS THAT
ARE FROM THE '90s. AND HE'LL ASK ME ABOUT THEM.
I THINK WE PLAYED WITH THEM? HE'S INTERESTED.
>> Jimmy: YOU PROBABLY DID, I WOULD SAY.
ACTUALLY, BLAKE TWEETED SOMETHING THE OTHER DAY THAT I
WANTED TO ASK. LET'S PUT THAT UP ON THE SCREEN.
HE WAS TALKING ABOUT YOUR SINGLE.
"WELL, I THOUGHT IT WAS COMING OUT TOMORROW, BUT IT'S OUT.
NOW SLOW CLAP, CONGRATULATIONS GWEN STEFANI.
I LOVE YOU." I'M COUNTING 14 EXCLAMATION
POINTS THERE, WHICH I BELIEVE MEANS HE SCREWED UP.
IS THAT CORRECT? >> I DON'T KNOW.
I THINK THAT WHEN WE WERE AWAY, WE WERE IN OKLAHOMA.
AND JUST TIME SLIPPED AWAY. AND THE NEXT THING WE KNOW, OH,
MY GOSH, IT'S TOMORROW. IT'S COMING OUT, AND IT'S A BIG
DEAL. THAT'S WHAT IS SO GREAT ABOUT
THESE DAYS. I'M STILL WRITING AN ALBUM RIGHT
NOW. HAVE I TONS OF MUSIC THAT I'VE
ALREADY DONE, BUT I'M GOING TO KEEP WRITING UNTIL IT FEELS
RIGHT. AND PEOPLE, I'LL SLIP SOME SONGS
OUT WHICH IS JUST INCREDIBLE. WE NEVER USED TO DO IT THAT WAY.
>> Jimmy: I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT THAT.
I REMEMBER WHEN TRAGIC KINGDOM CAME OUT.
IT WAS ONE OF THE BIGGEST ALBUMS OF ALL TIME.
BUT IT DIDN'T -- I MEAN, I THINK WE GOT -- WE GOT THE SINGLE
FIRST. AND THEN YOU GET THE WHOLE
ALBUM, BUT YOU DON'T GET THE ALBUM IN LITTLE PIECES.
DO YOU LIKE IT THIS WAY? OR DO YOU LIKE IT THE OLD WAY?
>> I THINK I -- WELL, I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT AREN'T EVEN
PUTTING RECORDS OUT AT ALL. >> Jimmy: RIGHT, SURE.
>> THEY'RE NOT WRITING MUSIC AS A CHAPTER OF THEIR LIVES OR THIS
IS THE COLLECTION OF SONGS THAT GO TOGETHER.
AND I FEEL LIKE THAT'S JUST THE WAY WE DID IT BACK THEN.
AND WHAT I'M DOING NOW, I LIKE THAT IT'S LESS PRESSURE.
I THINK THERE IS SOMETHING COOL ABOUT JUST BEING ABLE TO PUT
SOMETHING OUT RIGHT AWAY. LIKE I COULD WRITE A SONG AND
PUT IT RIGHT NOW. >> Jimmy: LET'S DO IT.
LET'S DO IT RIGHT NOW. >> OKAY.
>> Jimmy: LET'S BANG ONE OUT. >> OKAY.
ACTUALLY WROTE MOST OF THIS RECORD ON ZOOM.
SO I FEEL LIKE COY DO, IF YOU JUST CHALLENGED ME RIGHT NOW.
>> Jimmy: DID YOU REALLY? YOU WROTE IT ON ZOOM.
YOU GET TOGETHER WITH A COUPLE OF PEOPLE AND FIGURE IT OUT AND
WORK THROUGH IT? >> YEAH, THERE WAS ONE POINT.
ONE OF THE FIRST SONGS I WROTE, I WAS IN OKLAHOMA AND GREG
KERSTIN WAS IN HAWAII AND MOZELLA WAS IN L.A. AND WE ALL
GOT ON A PHONE AND WROTE A SONG. WHAT DID I DO.
I DIDN'T FEEL IT WAS POSSIBLE BECAUSE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU NEED
TO BE IN THE ROOM, BUT YOU DON'T.
YOU ACTUALLY DON'T. >> Jimmy: WHAT WAS IT LIKE
RECORDING THOSE FIRST NO DOUBT ALBUMS?
I IMAGINE YOU OBVIOUSLY WEREN'T OVER ZOOM.
WHERE WERE YOU? WHERE DID YOU RECORD THOSE?
>> THAT'S FUNNY. WELL, THE FIRST DEMO THAT WE
EVER DID WAS ACTUALLY MY DAD DID US A FAVOR.
HE HAD A FRIEND AT WORK THAT HAD A RECORDING STUDIO AT HIS HOUSE.
SO WE WERE AT HIS HOUSE. AND WE DID THIS DEMO.
I TEXTED HIM BEFORE THIS TO ASK HIM WHAT SONG IT WAS.
I THINK IT WAS "BOUNCING SHOES" OR SOME SONG THAT NEVER CAME
OUT. BUT THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME EVER
BEING IN A STUDIO. BUT WE REALLY -- WE WERE REALLY
HURTING FOR MONEY. WE DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY TO GO
EVEN BARELY TO GO TO REHEARSE. I WOULD GO TO MY DAD, OKAY, CAN
I HAVE $5 SO I CAN RENT A MICROPHONE?
AND THE CHORD IS 50 CENTS. CAN I HAVE $5.50 SO I CAN
ACTUALLY SING IN THE REHEARSAL. >> Jimmy: WOW.
>> IT WAS LIKE WE WOULD SAVE EVERYTHING TO BE ABLE TO GO IN
THE STUDIO. IT WASN'T UNTIL INTERSCOPE
SHELVED OUR FIRST ALBUM AND STUCK US IN THE STUDIO.
WE ACTUALLY BUILT OUR OWN STUDIO IN THE BEACON STREET HOUSE,
WHICH IS MY DAD'S HOUSE THAT HE GREW UP IN.
IT WAS ACROSS THE STREET FROM DISNEYLAND, AND THEY BOUGHT US
AN 8-TRACK RECORDER. AND THAT'S WHEN WE FIRST REALLY
LEARNED LIKE HOW TO RECORD OURSELVES.
SO THEN THE PROCESS REALLY BEGAN THEN, I THINK.
>> Jimmy: WOW, THAT'S PRETTY CRAZY.
>> I KNOW. AND THAT WAS A SUPER LONG TIME
AGO. >> Jimmy: YOU'VE GONE FROM
ALMOST NO TECHNOLOGY IN A RENTED 50 CENT MIC CABLE TO RECORDING
WITH PEOPLE AND VARIOUS PARTS OF THE WORLD.
I DO WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT NO DOUBT WHEN WE COME BACK.
AND LATER ON, GWEN IS GOING TO SING FOR US A SONG.
IT'S CALLED "SLOW CLAP." GWEN STEFANI IS WITH US.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK. [ APPLAUSE ]
♪ >> Jimmy: WE ARE BACK WITH GWEN
STEFANI. DR. SANJAY GUPTA IS COMING UP.
GWEN, YOU POSTED AN OLD SHOT. I ASSUME THIS IS A YEARBOOK
PHOTO. THEY ASKED WHAT DO YOU THINK
YOU'LL BE DOING IN TEN YEARS. YOU SAID I'LL BE OUT OF COLLEGE
AND HOPEFULLY SINGING FOR KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN
COMMERCIALS OR EVEN BETTER, McDONALD'S COMMERCIALS.
THAT'S WHAT I'LL BE, THE KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN GIRL.
. >> AND YOU KNOW THAT, I WASN'T
JOKING. THAT WAS NOT A JOKE.
>> Jimmy: IT WASN'T? >> NO.
I FEEL LIKE I BACK IN HIGH SCHOOL HAD ZERO IDEA WHAT I
WOULD BE WHEN I GREW UP. AND I BASICALLY LIKE I CAN
REMEMBER LISTENING TO THE COMMERCIALS AND THINKING, IT
DAWNED ON ME, OH, SOMEONE HAD TO SING THOSE.
SOMEONE SINGS THOSE IN A STUDIO. I BET I CAN DO THAT, YOU KNOW.
AND SO I KIND OF FANTASIZED ABOUT IT.
AND I ALSO USED TO FANTASIZE ABOUT WE USED TO GO OVER TO THE
DISNEYLAND HOTEL WAS ACROSS THE STREET.
WE'D GO OVER THERE, AND THERE WAS A LADY THAT WOULD BE THAT A
BOA FEATHER DRESS. WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
AND THEN SHE WOULD SING. I KNEW I COULD DO THAT.
IF MY PARENTS WOULD JUST LET ME STAY UP LATE, COY WORK AT THE
HOTEL. WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
THOSE WERE LIKE MY BIG DREAMS THAT I HAD WHEN I WAS IN HIGH
SCHOOL. >> Jimmy: DO YOU REMEMBER EVER
GOING INTO A RECORD STORE AND BUYING ONE OF YOUR CDs, ONE OF
YOUR OWN ALBUMS OR CDs? >> DEFINITELY.
I DEFINITELY REMEMBER DOING ALL THE STUFF, CALLING UP KR ROQ AN
PLAY JUST A GIRL, PLAY JUST A GIRL!
>> Jimmy: I WAS A DJ AT THE TIME.
>> DO YOU REMEMBER ME CALLING YOU?
>> Jimmy: YES. YOU CALLED.
IN AND THE PHONE SCREENERS SAID YEAH, GWEN STEFANI CALLED IN AND
WE NEVER BELIEVED IT WAS YOU. WE NEVER BELIEVED IT.
SOMEBODY IS SCREWING AROUND. >> I WOULD DO THAT.
AND I ALSO REMEMBER I CAN REMEMBER GOING TO TOWER RECORDS
ON I THINK IT WAS BEACH BOULEVARD, THEY HAD THE BIG ONE
DO. .
DO YOU REMEMBER THAT? >> Jimmy: OH, YES.
I REMEMBER IT WELL. >> I REMEMBER GOING IN THERE AND
YOU WOULD FEEL IT WAS SCENE, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?
AND I WOULD WONDER IF SOMEONE WOULD RECOGNIZE ME.
AND THEY WOULD. YEAH, THAT'S THE GIRL FROM NO
DOUBT. >> Jimmy: I REMEMBER SEEING YOU
IN 1995 OR RIGHT AROUND THERE IN ORANGE COUNTY.
WE HAD A BIG RADIO SHOW, AND YOU GUYS DID A CONCERT ON OUR
MORNING SHOW. AND I REMEMBER YOU PERFORMING
AND CLIMBING UP 100 FEET IN THE AIR.
AND JUST THINKING WOW, SHE IS UNBELIEVABLY GREAT.
AND NOW HERE YOU ARE, STILL DOING IT.
SO MANY YEARS LATER. [ APPLAUSE ]
AND I WONDER, DO YOU TALK TO THOSE GUYS, TOM AND TONY AND
ADRIAN? DO YOU GUYS EVER SAY MAYBE IT
WOULD BE FUN TO GET THE GROUP BACK TOGETHER?
I KNOW YOU GUYS DID IT SOME TIME BACK.
BUT I THINK IT'S LIKE THE 30th ANNIVERSARY OF YOUR FIRST ALBUM
COMING UP SOON. >> YEAH.
YOU KNOW, IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE WHEN THE TRAGIC KINGDOM HAD
ITS -- I THINK IT WAS 25th ANNIVERSARY.
THANKS FOR TRYING TO AGE ME MORE.
LIKE IT WAS QUITE NOSTALGIC TO WATCH EVERYBODY POSTING.
I DIDN'T KNOW I WAS GOING FEEL LIKE.
IT WAS KIND OF WEIRDLY -- IT WAS KIND OF DEPRESSING.
IT WAS KIND OF NOSTALGIC. IT WAS A VERY STRANGE FEELING.
AND I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF WRITING THIS RECORD.
SO I DID HAVE WEIRD FEELINGS WHEN THAT HAPPENED.
AS WE ALL DO. I THINK THAT THIS YEAR HAS JUST
BEEN SO REFLECTIVE AS WELL. >> Jimmy: RIGHT.
>> YOU LOOK BACK ON THE LAST YEAR, THIS YEAR BOTH.
BUT I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE FUTURE IS WITH THE BAND, YOU
KNOW. I NEVER WOULD HAVE IMAGINED THAT
WE WOULD HAVE PUT THE 30 YEARS INTO IT THAT WE DID IN THE FIRST
PLACE, YOU KNOW. IT WAS A VERY -- VERY
INTERESTING SITUATION, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE IT STARTED WITH ME AND
MY BROTHER IN THIS BAND TOGETHER.
>> Jimmy: YEAH. >> AND SLOWLY DIFFERENT MEMBERS
COMING AND ONE OF THEM BEING MY BOYFRIEND FOR ALL THAT TIME THAT
ENDED UP BEING THE WHOLE PURPOSE FOR THE TRAGIC KINGDOM IS THE
BREAKUP, THE HEARTBREAK. >> Jimmy: RIGHT.
RIGHT. >> SO THERE IS A LOT OF
FEELINGS. EVEN IN THAT RECORD, WHEN YOU
SAY THE WORD "TRAGIC KINGDOM," MY HEART IS STILL SORT OF BROKEN
BECAUSE THOSE SONGS WERE ABOUT A REALLY SAD TIME FOR ME.
YES. >> Jimmy: WOW.
ALL RIGHT. THAT'S A NO OR IS THAT A YES?
I DON'T KNOW. >> I HAVE NO IDEA.
IF I COULD PREDICT THE FUTURE, I WOULD TELL YOU.
>> Jimmy: I JUST REMEMBER, I REMEMBER THERE WAS SOME EVENT,
SOME MTV SHOW. AND AFTERWARDS YOU GUYS WERE ALL
THERE. AND ADRIAN GOT NAKED COMPLETELY
AND STARTED CLIMBING ON THINGS. AND I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT AGAIN.
ALL RIGHT, GWEN, YOU ARE VERY KIND TO PERFORM FOR US THE NEW
SINGLE. IT'S CALLED "SLOW CLAP."
WE'RE GOING HEAR AIT A LITTLE BT LATER ON.
GWEN STEFANI, THANK YOU. WE'LL BE BACK WITH DR. SANJAY

IT'S MY FIRST LOVE. SO I GOT THIS GREAT LIFE NOW
WHERE I WAS OPERATING ALL DAY TODAY.
I GET TO SPEND TIME WITH YOU TONIGHT, BUT ALSO GET TO REPORT
ON STORIES THAT ARE IMPORTANT. IT'S PERFECT.
>> DO YOUR PATIENTS EVER NOT PUT TWO AND TWO TOGETHER AND SHOW UP
IN TO YOUR OFFICE AND GO OH, HAY, WHAT THE HELL?
YOU'RE THE GUY FROM TV? >> YOU KNOW, IT'S REALLY -- I
THINK THERE ARE THREE TYPES. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO
IDEA. THEY DON'T EVER WATCH
TELEVISION. THEY JUST DON'T KNOW.
THE SECOND TYPE ARE PEOPLE WHO WILL ACTUALLY SEEK YOU OUT
BECAUSE YOU'RE ON TELEVISION. WHICH I ALWAYS THOUGHT WAS KIND
OF STRANGE. I THINK I'M -- I THINK I'M
REALLY GOOD AT WHAT I DO, BUT I DON'T THINK I'M ANY BETTER
BECAUSE I'M ON TELEVISION. BU SOMEHOW THAT'S THE
PERCEPTION. >> Jimmy: RIGHT.
>> AND THEN THERE IS THE THIRD TYPE, WHICH I THINK IS WHAT I
WOULD BE, WHICH IS I GET YOU'RE ON TELEVISION.
I WANT YOU THINKING OF NOTHING ELSE BUT ME WHEN YOU'RE TAKE
CARING OF ME. >> Jimmy: YES.
THAT'S WHY I GO TO DR. PHIL FOR ALL OF MY MARRIAGE COUNSEL LING.
YOU KNOW, THE THING ABOUT BEING A BRAIN SURGEON, IT'S ONE OF
THOSE THINGS LIKE ROCKET SCIENTIST.
OH, THIS GUY IS A BRAIN SURGEON. I THINK IT FELT SO MUCH MORE
IMPRESSIVE BEFORE WE FOUND OUT BEN CARSON WAS ONE.
>> I SHOULD HAVE ANTICIPATED THAT ONE.
I TELL YOU IT'S A FUNNY THING. I KNOW BEN CARSON.
I TELL YOU, HE IS A VERY WIDELY REGARDED NEUROSURGEON, YOU KNOW,
SEPARATED CONJOINED TWINS, DID ALL THESE OPERATIONS.
BUT I THINK, YOU KNOW, JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE GOOD AT ONE
THING, DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE GOOD AT EVERYTHING, TO YOUR POINT,
RIGHT? >> Jimmy: UH-HUH.
>> I THINK IN SOME WAYS YOU GET REALLY HYPER SPECIALIZED.
NO DISRESPECT TO BEN CARSON. >> Jimmy: I HEARD THOSE TWINS
DIDN'T WANT TO BE SEPARATED. THEY WERE PERFECTLY HAPPY
TOGETHER. THIS BOOK IS INTERESTING BECAUSE
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU TALK AOUT IS THAT IT DOESN'T MATTER
HOW OLD YOU ARE, YOU CAN CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN AND
IMPROVE YOUR BRAIN, WHICH IS NOT SOMETHING THAT I KNEW.
I THOUGHT ONCE YOU HIT A CERTAIN AGE, YOU'RE HEADED DOWNHILL.
>> YOU KNOW, IT'S INTERESTING. IN JUST OVER THE LAST 10 OR 15
YEARS, THIS IDEA THAT YOU'RE NOT JUST BORN WITH A CERTAIN NUMBER
OF NEURONS. THAT WAS THE PREVAILING SORT OF
IDEA, YOU KNOW. YOU'RE BORN WITH A CERTAIN
NUMBER. YOU DRAIN THE CASH AS LIFE GOES
ON. SOME DRAIN IT FASTER THAN OTHER,
AND THAT'S IT. YOU DON'T GET ANY MORE NEURONS.
AND WE KNOW THAT'S NOT TRUE. WHAT WE'VE KNOWN FOR SOME TIME
YOU CAN ACTUALLY USE OTHER PARTS OF THE BRAIN TO DO THINGS.
BUT NOW -- AND PART OF THE REASON I WROTE THIS BOOK, IT'S
BECOME INCREASINGLY CLEAR THAT YOU CAN GROW NEW BRAIN CELLS AT
ANY AGE. AND I JUST FOUND THAT SO
INSPIRING. I WAS LEARNING ABOUT IT FROM ALL
THESE NEUROSCIENTISTS. AND I SAID A, THAT CAN HAPPEN.
B, HOW DO YOU DO IT, C, I WANT TO PUT IT IN A BOOK.
>> Jimmy: IT ALSO MEANS YOU CAN DRINK MORE BECAUSE WE KNOW IT
KILLS BRAIN CELLS, IF YOU READ THIS BOOK YOU CAN KILL EVEN MORE
BRAIN CELLS THAN YOU WERE ALREADY PLANNING TO KILL IF YOU
REPLENISH THEM WITH THESE ACTIVITIES.
>> RIGHT. THAT'S HOW SOME PEOPLE WOULD
LOOK AT THE BOOK. >> Jimmy: RIGHT.
>> WAS IT WASN'T NECESSARILY MY INTENT.
BUT THE IDEA, THE IDEA THAT YOU CAN -- ALL KIDDING ASIDE, THIS
IDEA THAT THINGS BECOME PREORDAINED IN YOUR BRAIN,
THAT'S IT. YOU KNOW, AFTER AN INJURY,
TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY, AFTER A STROKE, WHATEVER IT MAY BE, YOU
KNOW, I JUST FIND IT SO INSPIRING THAT OFTENTIMES PEOPLE
THINK THE DYE IS CAST AND IT'S DONE.
YOU CAN GROW NEW BRAIN CELLS AND REGAIN FUNCTION.
YES, I HAD A STROKE, YES, I HAD A TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY, BUT
WHAT WE'RE LEARNING MORE AND MORE IS THAT YOU CAN HAVE
SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS DESPITE THAT.
>> Jimmy: THE BODY IS AMAZING. IT REALLY IS.
YOU'VE HEARD OF THIS COVID, RIGHT?
>> A LITTLE BIT. A LITTLE BIT, YEP.
>> Jimmy: SO WHAT I WAS WONDERING IS THE VARIANTS THAT
WE'RE HEARING ABOUT. ARE WE OPENING THE COUNTRY UP
TOO QUICKLY RIGHT NOW? IS WHAT'S GOING ON IN PLACES
LIKE TEXAS OR FLORIDA OR EVEN IN SMALL WAYS THAT WE'RE REOPENING
HERE IN CALIFORNIA, SHOULD THAT BE HAPPENING?
>> YOU KNOW, I REALLY DON'T THINK SO.
AND, YOU KNOW, I AM LIVING THROUGH THIS WITH EVERYONE ELSE.
I UNDERSTAND THE PRESSURES AND THE COVID FATIGUE THAT PEOPLE
HAVE. BUT FIRST OF ALL, WE'VE SEEN
WHAT'S HAPPENED IN OTHER PLACES AROUND THE WORLD.
WE WERE FOLLOWING ITALY LAST SPRING THINKING WE'RE NEVER
GOING TO BECOME ITALY, AND THEN WE SURPASSED ITALY IN TERMS OF
NUMBER OF CASES AND THINGS LOO THAT.
ITALY IS STARTING TO SHUT DOWN AGAIN BECAUSE THESE VARIANTS ARE
JUST MUCH MORE TRANSMISSIBLE. I WOULD SAY TWO THINGS.
I WOULD SAY WE HAVE LEARNED JUST HOW HOW EFFECTIVE MASKS CAN BE.
AND I KNOW THAT THAT WAS A POINTED DEBATE EARLY ON.
BUT IF PEOPLE WORE MASKS IN PUBLIC SETTINGS, I THINK YOU
COULD LARGELY STILL BE OPEN. OBVIOUSLY CERTAIN THINGS LIKE
INDOOR DINING WOULD STILL BE TOUGH, BUT YOU COULD STILL
PRIMARILY BE OPEN IF PEOPLE WERE REALLY DILIGENT ABOUT MASKING.
SO THE IDEA THAT YOU ROLL BACK MASK MANDATES AS VARIANTS ARE
SPREADING, THAT DOESN'T MAKE A LOT OF SENSE.
WE'RE SO CLOSE TO THE FINISH LINE.
I REALLY BELIEVE THAT. WHY FUMBLE THE BALL NOW.
>> Jimmy: WILL YOU BE SURPRISED IF PEOPLE WHO ARE VACCINATED,
FULLY VACCINATED STILL CARRY THE VIRUS AND CAN TRANSMIT THE
VIRUS? >> I WOULD BE SURPRISED IF THAT
WERE THE CASE. AND THIS IS A REALLY FASCINATING
DISCUSSION POINT. I DON'T THINK THAT WE WILL --
THAT WE WILL FIND THAT PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN VACCINATED WILL
STILL BE TRANSMITTING THE VIRUS, BUT WE HAVEN'T PROVEN IT YET AT
THE SAME TIME. SO THIS IS ALMOST LIKE ONE OF
THOSE THINGS, JIMMY, WHERE HOW DO YOU ASSESS RISK?
I THINK IT'S TRUE, BUT AM I WILLING TO TAKE THE RISK UNTIL
I'VE PROVEN IT? THAT BASIC SORT OF WAY OF
THINKING, I THINK THAT'S INFORMED HOW WE THINK ABOUT THIS
PANDEMIC OVERALL. WHAT IS OUR TOLERANCE OF RISK ON
BEHALF OF THE WORLD? THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO
FIGURE OUT. >> Jimmy: HAVE YOUR PARENTS BEEN
VACCINATED? >> MY PARENTS DID GET
VACCINATED. AND IT WAS -- THEY LIVE IN
FLORIDA. IT WAS QUITE SOMETHING.
MY MOM IS -- MY PARENTS ARE IMMIGRANTS, VERY TENACIOUS,
THEY'RE GOING GOAT THINGS DONE, MY MOM IN PARTICULAR.
SHE WENT ON LINE AND FOUND THE LOW LIBRARY IN LEE COUNTY WAS
GOING TO HAVE 300 SHOTS, AND THEY WERE GOING START GIVING
THEM OUT AT 9:00 IN THE MORNING. SO SHE DRAGGED MY DAD AT 1:30 IN
THE MORNING WITH LAWN CHAIRS AND CAMPED OUT FOR VACCINES, KIND OF
LIKE PEOPLE CAMP OUT FOR CONCERT TICKETS.
THAT WAS MY PARENTS OUT THERE. AT 1:30 IN THE MORNING UNTIL
ABOUT 10:00, THEY WERE OUTSIDE. THEY'RE IN THEIR LATE 70s, BUT
THEY DID THIS BECAUSE THEY WANTED THE VACCINE.
300 SHOTS. THEY WERE NUMBER 288 AND 289.
>> Jimmy: OH WOW. THERE WERE ALREADY A LOT OF
PEOPLE THERE WAITING. >> EXACTLY.
>> Jimmy: UNBELIEVABLE. WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THE PEOPLE
WHO DON'T WANT THE GET VACCINATED, WHO EITHER THINK OH,
I CAN WAIT AND IT WILL BE HERD IMMUNITY AND I WON'T HAVE TO
DEAL WITH IT, OR JUST ARE FEARFUL FOR WHATEVER REASON OF
GETTING IT? >> WELL, YOU KNOW, I THINK ON
THE SECOND POINT, THE VACCINE WENT THROUGH THESE TRIALS.
MOST SIDE EFFECTS IF THEY'RE GOING TO OCCUR OCCUR WITHIN THE
FIRST 40 DAYS. THAT'S WHY THEY WAITED TWO
MONTHS FOR SAFETY DATA. I THINK IT'S A SAFE VACCINE.
MY PARENTS ASKED ME SHOULD THEY GET IT.
I RECOMMENDED IT TO THEM. I'VE BEEN READING EVERYTHING,
JIMMY. I'VE BEEN READING THINGS FROM
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD. I'VE BEEN TALKING TO THE VACCINE
MAKERS FROM THE BEGINNING. I'VE DONE MY HOMEWORK, AND I GOT
THE VACCINE ITSELF. BUT THE OTHER PART OF IT IS THAT
YOU HAVE A VACCINE NOW THAT IS BASICALLY 100% PROTECTIVE
AGAINST SOMEONE DYING OF THIS DISEASE, A DISEASE THAT WE
HADN'T EVEN DEFINED A YEAR AGO. WE NOW HAVE A VACCINE THAT'S
BASICALLY 100% EFFECTIVE AGAINST DEATH.
95% EFFECTIVE AGAINST GETTING REALLY SICK.
IT'S A PRETTY INCREDIBLE THING. SO THE BIGGEST CONCERN I THINK
GOING INTO THIS WAS THAT IT WOULDN'T WORK.
IT WOULDN'T GET IT DONE. I'M NOT AS CONCERNED ABOUT THE
SAFETY. I'D SAY GET THE VACCINE.
WE ARE PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE A VERY GOOD SUMMER, BUT IF MUCH
PEOPLE ARE VACCINATED, WE'LL ALSO HAVE A GOOD FALL, BECAUSE
BY THAT POINT ENOUGH PEOPLE WILL ACTUALLY CREATE THIS HERD
IMMUNITY. >> Jimmy: WELL, THANK YOU, DR.
GUPTA, FOR BEING WITH US. I THINK IT'S INTERESTING HOW
LITTLE WE KNOW ABOUT CERTAIN THINGS, EVEN THOUGH WE'VE HEARD
SO MUCH ABOUT THIS CORONAVIRUS. AND I'M GLAD YOU'RE ON TV
TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT IT. THIS IS THE BOOK.
IT'S CALLED "KEEP SHARP." IT IS AVAILABLE NOW.
DR. GUPTA'S PODCAST ON CNN IS CALLED "CORONA VIRUS:FACT VERSUS
FICTION." WE'LL BE BACK WITH MUSIC FROM
GWEN STEFANI. >> THANK YOU, JIMMY.
>>> THE JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE CONCERT SERIES IS PRESENTED BY
MERCEDES-BENZ. THE BEST OR NOTHING.
>> Jimmy: WELL, YOU CAN SEE HER FULL POWERED BY WOMEN CONCERT AT
PANDORA LIVE ON MARCH 30th, BUT RIGHT NOW SHE IS WITH US WITH
HER NEW SONG "SLOW CLAP," GWEN STEFANI!
