>> DOING WELL, THANK YOU. GOOD TO SEE YOU, JIMMY. >> Jimmy: I WILL TELL YOU, I -- [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] >> THANK YOU, THANK YOU. >> Jimmy: I APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE, BECAUSE I KNOW YOU'RE KIND OF ON VACATION NOW. >> THAT'S OKAY. THAT'S GOOD ABOUT VACATION. I GET TO GO AND BE A GUEST, WE DON'T EVER GET TO BE GUESTS. >> Jimmy: IT'S RARE, BUT ONCE IN A WHILE. IT'S NICE TO SEE HOW OPERATIONS WORK. >> WE KNOW THE THING, I FEEL AS INVESTED IN YOUR SHOW AS YOU ARE. THERE'S MOMENTS WHEN I'M BACK STAGE, CAN I MOVE THAT FOR YOU, IS EVERYTHING WORKING THE WAY IT SHOULD? ARE WE ON TIME? WHEN THEY WERE DOING THE DESK IN THE BREAK, I WAS, SHOULD I BRING THE DESK? >> Jimmy: YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO ANY MANUAL LABOR HERE. THERE'S GUYS THAT DO EVERYTHING. IS THAT HOW IT WORKS AT THE DAILY SHOW? YOU HAVE GUESTS CHIP IN AND MOVE THINGS AROUND? >> NEVER THE GUESTS, BUT THERE ARE SOME GUESTS WHO WILL DO THINGS THEY SHOULDN'T BE DOING. >> Jimmy: LIKE WHAT? >> OPRAH CAME TO THE SHOW. >> Jimmy: CONGRATULATIONS. THAT'S A BIG DEAL. >> FIRST OF ALL, SHE DIDN'T COME IN THE GUEST ENTRANCE. SO WE'RE ALL WAITING FOR OPRAH THIS WAY, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN SHE'S LIKE, HELLO! AND EVERYONE TURNS, AND WE'RE LIKE, NO, NO, THE GUEST ENTRANCE. BUT OPRAH DOESN'T CARE. SHE WALKS AROUND THE BUILDING TELLING PEOPLE HOW IT'S GOING TO GO BUT IN THE NICEST WAY. NO ONE'S LIKE NO, EVERYONE'S LIKE, YEAH. THAT IS A BETTER IDEA. SHE'S IN THE CONTROL ROOM, IN MAKEUP WITH ME, DO THIS, DO THAT. ARE YOU READY FOR THE INTERVIEW? NO, I'M NOT READY. >> Jimmy: WE HAD A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE THE FIRST TIME OPRAH WAS HERE. WE WERE ALL NERVOUS. EVERYONE WAS DRESSED UP, WHICH WAS KIND OF FUNNY. SHE GOT HERE, WE SHOT SOMETHING AND IT WAS LIKE 6:00 IN THE MORNING AND OPRAH WAS HERE WELL BEFORE I, I ARRIVED, AND SHE REALLY MADE EVERYONE FEEL SO, AND IT WAS LIKE ONE OF THOSE THINGS, HONESTLY, I NEVER GOT IT, I WAS LIKE, YEAH, OPRAH'S GOOD ON TV, BUT WHY ARE WE NAMING OUR BABIES OPRAH AND PRAYING. >> SHE HAS THAT THING. >> Jimmy: IT MADE COMPLETE SENSE AFTERWARDS. >> EVERY BABY SHOULD BE NAMED, AT LEAST A SECOND NAME, OPRAH. JIMMY OPRAH KIMMEL. TREVOR OPRAH NOAH. >> Jimmy: EVERYONE WOULD BE IRISH. THAT'S THE SIGN THAT YOU MADE IT THAT OPRAH COMES TO YOUR SHOW. YOU DON'T HAVE A HSHOW UNTIL OPRAH COMES TO YOUR SHOW. >> I DIDN'T HAVE A SHOW UNTIL A COUPLE WEEKS AGO. >> Jimmy: YOUR SHOW WAS ILLEGITIMATE UNTIL SHE SHOWED UP. THAT'S CERTAINLY HOW WE FELT AROUND HERE. >> OH, MAN, OH. >> Jimmy: NOW YOU, I WAS SAYING TO YOU, YOU ARE ON THE ROAD RIGHT NOW. >> RIGHT. RIGHT. >> Jimmy: YOU HAVE A PODCAST THAT YOU DO. >> YES. >> Jimmy: AND YOU HAVE THE DAILY SHOW, OF COURSE, WHICH IS A LOT OF WORK. >> YES. >> Jimmy: AND YOU ALSO DO A LOT OF STAND-UP COMEDY. >> IT'S DIFFERENT FACETS. A LOT OF PEOPLE GO, YOU WORK ALL THE TIME. I DON'T THINK OF IT THAT WAY. I LOVE IT, IT'S A GIFT. I LOVE ENGAGING WITH THE PEOPLE, IT'S THE HEART OF EVERYTHING I DO. >> Jimmy: THAT'S A BAD ATTITUDE. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO FIT IN AROUND HERE. >> IT REALLY IS FUN, I'LL TELL YOU THAT MUCH. AND THEN YOU'RE LIVING IN THIS WORLD WHERE EVERY DAY YOU GET TO HANG OUT WITH THIS DUDE, JIMMY. I LOVE THAT. AND THEN OF COURSE, I'VE GOT THE PODCAST WHICH I DO ON WEEKENDS LIKE ON A SUNDAY, HANG OUT AND TALK ABOUT OLD NEWS THAT YOU'RE NOT EMOTIONAL ABOUT ANYMORE. >> Jimmy: WHAT DO YOU TALK ABOUT ON THE PODCAST? >> ANYTHING. WE HAD ONE EPISODE ABOUT EDUCATION, WHY ARE TEACHERS GOING ON STRIKE? WHY AREN'T THEY GETTING AS MUCH MONEY AS THEY SHOULD, IT'S NOT LIKE RANDOM KIDS, AMERICAN KIDS AND AMERICAN TAXPAYERS' MONEY ISN'T GOING TO IT. >> Jimmy: AS LONG AS NOTHING HAPPENS, HEY, THEY'LL LEARN TO READ EVENTUALLY. YOU KNOW? >> WE HOPE. >> Jimmy: I DON'T KNOW WHY, IS IT LIKE THAT IN YOUR HOME? >> IT IS, AND THAT'S WHAT'S INTERESTING TO ME. A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL BE OH, SOUTH AFRICA'S A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY, BUT THEN YOU GO NO, WE'RE A DEVELOPING NATION, AND HERE YOU HAVE AMERICA THAT HAS THE SAME ISSUES THAT ONLY HAD DEMOCRACY FOR LESS THAN THREE DECADES. THAT SHOULD BE WORRYING TO ME. SO I WANT TO LEARN ABOUT HOW YOU CAN CHANGE THESE THINGS. SO I TALK TO PEOPLE MUCH SMARTER THAN I AM WHO HAVE STUDIED THESE FIELDS. SCIENCE, EDUCATION, RELIGION, EVERYTHING PEOPLE TALK ABOUT, BUT NOT WHILE IT'S HAPPENING, BECAUSE A LOT OF TIME I FEEL LIKE THE NEWS, WHEN IT HAPPENS LIKE NOW, EVERYONE'S EMOTIONAL AND SOCIAL MEDIA HELPS YOU BE EMOTIONAL. THERE ARE SOME THINGS YOU SHOULD BE EMOTIONAL ABOUT, FOR INSTANCE IF THEY SAY ABORTION IS CRIMINALIZED IN ALABAMA YOU SHOULD GET EMOTIONAL ABOUT THAT INSTANTLY. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] >> Jimmy: ARE YOU SURPRISED BY HOW NUTTY THINGS HAVE GONE? REALLY, SINCE YOU ARRIVED. [ LAUGHTER ] I MEAN, I DON'T WANT TO DIRECTLY BLAME YOU, BUT THINGS WERE OKAY A LITTLE WHILE BACK. >> I KNOW YOU'RE NOT BLAMING ME, BUT IT SOUNDED LIKE YOU WERE BLAMING ME. >> Jimmy: I'LL LET EVERYONE DRAW THEIR OWN CONCLUSION. JUST SAYING THE TIMING'S A LITTLE SUSPICIOUS. >> YEAH, YOU KNOW, IT'S SO FUNNY, WHEN I TOOK OVER THE DAILY SHOW EVERYONE WAS LIKE, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE JOKES ABOUT? AND THEN PEOPLE SAID, ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS PEOPLE SAID TO ME WAS YOU'RE JUST NOT ANGRY ENOUGH, TREVOR, WHERE'S YOUR INDIGNATION. AND I WAS LIKE, WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO BE ANGRY ABOUT? THINGS ARE GOING GREAT RIGHT NOW. YOUR ECONOMY IS GROWING, YOUR PRESIDENT IS LOVED. YOUR FOOT PRINT AROUND THE WORLD IS CEMENTED AS THE SUPER POWER, WHAT ARE YOU ANGRY ABOUT? AND THEN PEOPLE HAD ALL THIS FAUX ANGER. THERE'S NOTHING TO BE STRESSED ABOUT. >> Jimmy: WE'RE ALWAYS ANGRY ABOUT SOMETHING. IF IT'S NOTHING IMPORTANT TO BE ANGRY ABOUT WE'LL FIND SOMETHING DUMB TO BE ANGRY ABOUT. SOMEBODY WILL PUT PINEAPPLES ON A PIZZA AND WE'LL LOSE OUR MIND. >> I POSTED THAT ONLINE AND PEOPLE SAID, ARE THOSE PINEAPPLES ON A PIZZA? >> Jimmy: THOSE ARE THINGS THAT HAPPEN IN CERTAIN PARTS OF THE WORLD AND WE CAN'T TOLERATE IT. >>N >> THAT'S WHAT CHANGED FOR ME. THEN WHEN DONALD TRUMP WAS ELECTED AND PROCEEDED TO DO THE THINGS THAT HE PROMISED, IRONICALLY, IT WAS FUNNY THAT DONALD TRUMP WOULD BE THE FIRST PRESIDENT TO -- >> Jimmy: TO ACTUALLY DELIVER? HEY, I'M MAILING YOU A BOX OF [ BLEEP ]. DON'T WORRY, IT WILL BE THERE IN THREE DAYS, AND THEN THERE IT IS. >> THERE IT IS. IN THE BEGINNING PEOPLE WERE LIKE, HE'S NOT GOING TO -- HE DOESN'T MEAN BUILD A WALL. HE DOESN'T MEAN BAN ALL MUSLIMS. NO, HE TOTALLY MEANS THAT.
