[ light laughter ] he's had, like, ten chances to respect the gag order. [ light laughter ] that's right. at this rally, trump talked about "the silence of the lambs" character hannibal lecter and said he was a, quote, wonderful man. first of all, hannibal lecter isn't real. he's a character played by anthony hopkins, a wonderful man who is real. second, the character hannibal is not a wonderful man. he's a cannibal who murdered a bunch of people. and, third, please tell me this is not your v.p. announcement. [ laughter ] a man waiting outside the courthouse today for former

president trump's criminal hush money trial said that he used professional line sitters to hold his spot so he would get a seat in the courtroom. said the line sitter, "i made 20 bucks." [ laughter ] michael cohen testified today that former president trump once said he wouldn't be single for very long if former first lady melania trump were to leave him. so, yeah, he wrote his own vows. [ laughter ] that's right, michael cohen testified today that trump once asked him how long he would be single if melania were to leave him and said, quote, "how long do you think i'd be on the market for? not long." on the market? you're a 78-year-old psychopath with massive debt. that's not a market. [ light laughter ] that's a lost and found bin. [ laughter ] during his testimony today, cohen also said that he was never paid for early legal work he did for trump. of course not. he doesn't pay his lawyers. he doesn't pay his contractors. there's really only one way to get paid by donald trump, and it is not worth it. [ laughter ]

elon musk's start-up neuralink announced last week that its first ever brain chip implant has malfunctioned. well, what actually happened is it was eaten by a brain worm. [ laughter ] he's trying hard to be the craziest one, but he's not quite there yet. still buried at the bottom of the monologue. you'll get there. the biden campaign is reportedly targeting older voters with commercials on "the price is right." are you sure you want to be on a show where people guess the price of stuff? [ laughter ] a zoo in china is facing criticism for displaying dogs that were painted to resemble pandas in a panda exhibit. and you can tell right away they weren't pandas because they were constantly humping. [ laughter ] not -- i'm going to say

something. not a bad job. [ light laughter ] when i read this story, i didn't think -- they did a pretty good job painting dogs to look like pandas. amazon has announced -- you know why that dog's happy? kristi noem was at the zoo. [ laughter ] [ audience oohs ] oh, it's just a panda. [ light laughter ] amazon has announced that next year it will launch a dedicated website for ireland, and it's pretty much the same except for the section titled "you may also regret." [ light laughter ] the westminster kennel club show began over the weekend despite kristi noem's best efforts. [ laughter ] i guess that joke wasn't helped by my call forward. [ light laughter ]

i don't know. i can't be expected to know what's comin'. and finally, a man in texas recently went skydiving at the age of 106. and fortunately before he could pull his chute, his balls had already landed. [ laughter ] there we go. there we go. that was the monologue, everybody. we're off and running. [ cheers and applause ] we got a great show for you tonight. he's the host of "jimmy kimmel live!" one of the best, my friend, jimmy kimmel is on the show. first time. [ cheers and applause ] for mr. kimmel. first time. and she's a fantastic actress you've seen in "barbie" and "derry girls." now she's starring in "bridgerton," whose third season premieres on netflix may 16th. nicola coughlan will also be joining us. [ cheers and applause ] thrilled she's going to be here. a lot of first timers tonight. before we get to all that, michael cohen took the stand as the prosecution's star witness in donald trump's hush money trial and revealed private conversations he had with trump about that hush money payment. and trump held a rally in new

jersey where he attacked the prosecutor, slammed bruce springsteen and praised, let me see here, oh, hannibal lecter. for more on this, it's time for "a closer look." [ cheers and applause ] ♪ you know, i'll admit when i first heard about trump's rally in new jersey, i thought, hey, maybe the guy's finally chilling out a little because this is the headline i saw from "the new york times." "away from the confines of a courtroom, trump rallies beachside at the jersey shore." [ light laughter ] why does every "new york times" headline about trump sounds like an old timey newsreel? away from the confines of the courtroom, trump rallies beachside at the jersey shore. watch your french fries, donald trump. those seagulls are mighty hungry. [ laughter ] seriously, "new york times," what are you doing? that headline sounds less like a description of a wannabe dictator who's been indicted four times and more like one of carrie's columns from "sex and the city." [ light laughter ] away from the confines of the manhattan dating scene, i was able to recover myself beachside at the jersey shore. much like the oysters i had for lunch, i was finally coming out of my shell.

[ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] so the headline -- the headline made it sound pretty innocuous. let's see what trump was talking about at this picturesque beachside rally. >> i've come here from new york, where i'm being forced to endure a biden show trial, all done by biden. carried out by -- that's right, all being done by him. hot dogs. let's talk about hot dogs. i just had one actually. i just had one. it was very good. i just had a hot dog, and it was very good. if some of these wackos came along, you know, these liberals, thing is, they'd actually vote for me. you know they all vote for me. they say, "oh, trump, i don't know." you know, like bruce springsteen. we have a much bigger crowd than bruce springsteen, right? much bigger. i've been indicted more than the great alphonse capone. scarface. "silence of the lambs." has anyone seen "the silence of

the lambs"? the late, great, hannibal lecter, he's a wonderful man. [ laughter ] >> seth: i know we take chunks of his speeches and put them in "a closer look," but is he taking chunks of "closer looks" and just putting them in his speeches now? [ laughter ] the whole time i was watching that, i was thinking is that a [ bleep ] bit we did? [ laughter ] the late, great hannibal lecter? we [ bleep ] did that about him. all right. well, let's see if we can get him to say this the next time out. "the late, great hannibal lecter. he came up to me once. big cannibal, strong cannibal. [ laughter ] tears pouring down from his eyes onto the face he was eating. and he said to me, mr. trump, sir, i would never take a bite out of you because you have too much gristle. [ laughter ] so if you're keeping track, though why would you, springsteen and the district attorney are bad, but scarface, hannibal lecter, and hot dogs

are good. [ laughter ] seriously, who the hell goes to new jersey and attacks bruce springsteen? what's next on your cross-country insult tour? are you going to go to boston and attack ben affleck while you drink starbucks in a yankees hat? [ laughter ] but as far as singers go, that was not the only weird thing trump said at his rally. >> frank sinatra told me a long time ago, never eat before you perform. i said, i'm not performing. i'm a politician if you can believe it. [ laughter ] >> seth: no, i can't believe it because -- and here's why. because frank sinatra died in 1998, and you became a politician in 2015, so that conversation didn't happen. and what would the context be for that anyway? under what circumstances would frank sinatra be talking to donald trump, and his main advice for trump, who, again, was neither a politician nor a tv personality when sinatra was alive, would be "don't eat before you perform?" [ laughter ] maybe trump was offering sinatra food, and that was his excuse. "hey, frank, do you want some fast food?

it's been piled on this table for three hours." [ laughter ] "thanks, donny, but frank doesn't eat before he performs." [ light laughter ] "hey, get this [ bleep ] guy away from me." [ laughter ] "what am i paying my security for here?" [ applause ] "trying to get to stage, and the guy with the sandwiches on a table." but that was not the only story trump told that might make you wonder about his cognitive health. he also tried to criticize jimmy carter but could not remember his name. watch him stall until he finally comes up with the name he's grasping for. >> the worst president by far, jimmy connors, is -- jimmy -- jimmy connors is good. he's also happy. jimmy is a very happy man, both of them, because you know what? they want him out. jimmy carter -- >> seth: jimmy, jimmy -- [ laughter ] it's like watching a guy trying to start a lawnmower. "jimmy!"

[ laughter ] "you remember our president jimmy, come on! jimmy!" [ light laughter ] so just to recap, hannibal lecter flows right off his tongue, but he couldn't pull up former president jimmy carter. and can we just agree to leave jimmy carter out of this? the man's 99 years old, has spent his post-presidency being quietly charitable with organizations like habitat for humanity. to put it in simpler terms, he's built more homes than hannibal lecter has eaten faces. just take his name out of your mouth, which shouldn't be hard because it's barely in your brain. [ laughter ] also, for those of you too young to remember, jimmy connors is a former world number one tennis player who did not serve as the 39th president. [ laughter ] connors is remembered for many things, including his rivalry with john6mcenroe, which is appropriate because when trump couldn't remember jimmy carter's name, i bet his aides were all like -- >> you cannot be serious! [ laughter ] >> seth: but beachside vacations can only last so long, and for trump, it was back to the

office, aka, the courtroom today where he was confronted by reporters who wanted to know what the hell he was talking about at that rally. >> mr. trump, who's with you in the courtroom today? >> why hannibal lecter? do you plan to testify? >> seth: i mean if you didn't see trump's rally, you'd think from that line of questioning that he was calling hannibal lecter as a witness in his trial. [ laughter ] "dr. lecter doesn't know anything about the case, but he told me he'd be willing to eat michael cohen, so we are -- [ light laughter ] "why hannibal lecter?" is such an amazing question to yell at a presidential candidate. by the way, that question nestled between two other questions about his criminal trial for defrauding voters by paying hush money to a porn star. for any other presidential candidate, getting asked question "why hannibal lecter" would mean you're in a five-alarm [ bleep ] storm, but for trump, just a normal monday. [ laughter ] yet what was happening outside the courtroom was still not as damning as what was happening inside the courtroom, where trump's former fixer, michael cohen, was detailing the arrangement to conceal trump's

affair with stormy daniels from the voters. the testimony began with a dramatic moment in which the two former allies came face to face with one another, and cohen was asked to identify trump. >> michael cohen has taken to the stand. he actually was -- had to stand up and identify what donald trump was wearing. so the two men did come face to face, vaughn. >> right. because of where the witness box is, the view is obstructed between being able to see donald trump and whoever's in the witness stand. so when he was asked by the prosecutor to identify donald trump in the room, that's when he stood, and that's where they were able to make their eye contact. >> seth: all right. first of all, you can't make direct eye contact with trump, or you'll turn to stone. that's what happened to mike pence. [ laughter ] second, why did cohen have to identify what trump was wearing? in addition to his financial crimes, is trump also accused of a fashion crime? "mr. cohen, what is mr. trump wearing?" "uh, i believe the suit is from joseph a. bank big and baggies men outlet." [ laughter ] "the tie is crazy dave's floor-length ties for evening."

[ laughter ] "and i'm pretty sure those are my shoes." funnily, if there was ever a trial where we didn't have to identify the defendant, it's this one. is the fear a juror is going to say, "i don't think stormy daniels knew which one he was." [ light laughter ] "i think she's making it all up." part of why the prosecution called cohen today was to establish his credibility as trump's former fixer because cohen's account is central to the case. for example, cohen was the keeper of all of trump's contacts. >> cohen is saying he was, quote, spending a significant amount of time with mr. trump, and trump ultimately agreed to his contact numbers being synced to cohen's cell phone. that way when he traveled, if he needed to get somebody on the phone, cohen had the number. more than 30,000 contacts in that phone account. >> seth: wow, he had more than 30,000 contacts in his phone, and still no eric. [ laughter ] i'd ask, how do you get 30,000 contacts in your phone, but i bet most of the people trump hangs out with have like seven different numbers. "okay, boss, this is work. this is home.

this is the guy at the otb. this is a guy who knows a guy who will know where i am. this is my cell number. and this is my cell number for when i go to jail." [ laughter ] but the most crucial testimony came when cohen relayed his conversations with trump about the hush money payment, and he made it clear trump was concerned about the election. cohen testified, "he said to me 'this is a disaster, total disaster.' women are going to hate me. this is really a disaster. women will hate me. guys may think it's cool, but this is going to be a disaster for the campaign.'" and that's where trump was wrong. it wasn't just any day who thought it was cool. it was devout christians. "i may have fundamental disagreements with president trump regarding the outcome of the 2020 election, but i will defend to the death his right to get spanked on the ass by a porn star." [ laughter ] seriously, what guys did trump have in mind? "guys will think it's cool like my best friends, sinatra, connors, and hannibal lecter." [ laughter ] we're going out later for hot dogs." cohen also revealed that trump was not concerned about any potential fallout for his marriage if the story became

public. when cohen raised melania to trump regarding stormy daniels fallout, trump said, "don't worry. how long do you think i'll be on the market for? not long." cohen said trump wasn't thinking about melania. this was all about the campaign. it's unbelievable what this guy gets away with. he says the worst [ bleep ] about his own family and faces no consequences. the worst thing i've ever said to a friend about my wife is, "she doesn't watch this show." and i'd be terrified if she found out until i remembered she never would because she doesn't watch the show. [ laughter ] so if trump really thought if he ended up getting divorced for a third time after an affair with a porn star, he'd crush it on the dating scene. what would his tinder bio said? "loves hot dogs. hates springsteen. will definitely cheat." [ laughter ] cohen's testimony today cut to the heart of the case. it was all about the election. trump defrauded voters so he could conceal the affair from them and become president. the only thing he was wrong about was the backlash. it turns out his base didn't care. the maga crowd ate it up like -- >> the late, great hannibal lecter. [ laughter ] >> seth: this has been "a closer look." [ cheers and applause ] ♪ we'll be right back with jimmy kimmel, everybody.

[ laughter ] >> and i've found that the worst-smelling guests are the best-looking guys. >> seth: oh. >> and i'm not joking. they are. some of these guys who have been on the cover of "people" magazine, sexiest man alive, they have an odor, like an "i don't need to wear deodorant because i'm that attractive." it's like, i think they do it to try to tamp it down a bit, the attractive factor. like in the way like porcupines have quills to keep the

predators from eating them. >> seth: yeah. >> and the best -- >> seth: i like -- to keep the predators from having sex with them. that would be in this analogy. >> but some guys are so good-looking. like you're a good-looking guy, but not so good-looking that you could afford to not bathe. >> seth: thank you, yeah.

[ light laughter ] and just to make it clear, he will not shave his beard for any of these, correct? >> well, he would think about it. he would think about it. and this is your new york state governor, kathy hochul. >> seth: yeah. [ laughter and applause ] okay. so i mean i guess, like -- first of all, incredible wig. [ laughter ] yeah, i guess they're just -- >> he did that himself. >> seth: they're just -- oh, he does his own wigs? >> yeah, he does his own wigs. >> seth: we don't have money for an extra wig person. [ light laughter ] if he could bring his own wig guy, that would be really good for us. >> so i'll tell him he can call? >> seth: yeah, he can call. >> i can give him your number? >> seth: no. give him a number, just not mine. [ laughter ] feel free to give him a number. we were -- you know, we were talking. this is about a year anniversary from the writers' strike. and it's been -- we've been back for seven months, which has been

great. >> yeah. >> seth: it was obviously a terrible time, but you had a really wonderful, thoughtful idea, which is you and i and three of the other hosts would start doing a podcast to sort of take care of our staffs and get through that tricky time. >> every week we'd have this zoom where we'd talk. and the first few weeks, it was serious. we were talking about things that -- how we're going to handle this stuff. and then it became just nothing. it became just nonsense like what's going on, and people were drinking on the pod -- on the zoom. and so -- >> seth: early in the day too. we were not doing it late at night. >> and then we started running out of money. [ laughter ] >> seth: yeah. >> and i started looking at this zoom and thinking, "we got to monetize this somehow." [ light laughter ] >> seth: yeah. >> and i said, "yeah, why don't we make this a podcast?" and then we all felt kind of stupid that we hadn't thought of that before. >> seth: yeah, right. >> and we did it. i think people loved it. >> seth: it was really nice. and i mean -- you know, look, we didn't overstay our welcome. it was 12 episodes. >> mm-hmm. >> seth: and i think for people who, like, are interested in this kind of thing, it was good showbiz of how stuff gets made. >> and we made a promise during the course of that podcast.

we promised that we were going to do it again for stephen colbert's 60th birthday. >> seth: yes. >> which is today. >> seth: which is today. >> which happens to be today. [ cheers and applause ] so i sent a text to my strike force five brothers and said, "hey, guys, remember we promised our listeners that we could get together and do a podcast for stephen's 60th birthday." not one of them responded. >> seth: no. [ laughter ] >> and i called seth, and i said, "should i take the silence as a message of some kind?" he said, "it's just really hard to schedule." [ light laughter ] >> seth: you also -- speaking of monetizing, you had the idea -- you were like, let's make gear. >> yeah. that wasn't my idea. that was stephen's idea. >> seth: okay. oh, are you saying that because it was a bad idea and we didn't make any money? >> we did. we made a lot of money. >> seth: did we, on the merch? >> we did six printings of the merch. >> seth: oh, i take it back, then. i didn't think the merch went well. somebody -- i don't know. did you get these sent to you as well? >> i did, yes. >> seth: okay, so i thought this was from you because it was such -- i was like, "oh, this is so irritating," i thought you did it.

[ laughter ] >> thank you. >> seth: i feel like we had unsold merch, and they sent it, and i was like so excited. i'm like, oh, i'll hand this out to people. >> we did. we had about 40 unsold shirts, and they asked me "what should we do?" i said, "just split them up between everybody and give them -- send them to the show." >> seth: the problem is all they were were xxxls and extra smalls. [ laughter ] they're like unwearable shirts. i'm going to give this to my italian greyhound. [ laughter ] >> i'll hold this one up. you really can't quite tell how tiny this shirt is. it's -- >> seth: here, would it help to see it next to this one? [ laughter ] >> here's the thing that's very, very unfair. same price. [ laughter ] makes no sense. anyway, we'll find a tiny and a giant person in the audience. maybe we'll -- >> seth: we'll throw them out there. we'll even do it without the cannon. what a delight to have you. [ cheers and applause ] >> thank you for having me. >> seth: thank you for celebrating stephen's 60th with me. >> yeah. >> seth: i think this would mean a lot to him. >> yeah, and congratulations on your -- >> seth: congratulations to you as well. i'm so glad we -- >> your new run, and i hope it

whistledown. was this something you knew going into it when you were cast? >> yes, i found out in a super professional way. i found out on a reddit fan forum. >> seth: okay. [ laughter ] >> because i googled it. >> seth: you googled it. >> i googled it. and then i arrived day one. i was like, "i was like, this is amazing. am i her? like, is that me? do i get to?" and they were like, "yeah, it's you." and then i proceeded to tell everyone. so it was a surprise for nobody -- >> seth: yeah. >> -- in the cast because i wouldn't stop talking about it. >> seth: so it turns out you were terribly cast as someone who is good at keeping a secret. >> absolutely rubbish, yeah, yeah. [ light laughter ] but also i'm like -- like technically i job share with julie andrews. >> seth: oh, you do job share? >> right. if someone doesn't know, like me and julie, we split the work. it works for us. it works for us, yeah. >> seth: is it true that people are disappointed when they realize you are not british? >> oh, absolutely, yes. yes. but they should be more excited because i'm irish. >> seth: yeah. >> yes. [ screams and applause ] >> seth: i almost feel like that's someone who's never met an irish person. >> exactly. i'm like -- >> seth: how -- at what age did you learn to have a british accent for professional work? >> for professional work?

i was about 14. i used to do a lot of voiceovers, so if there was a tiny frog or a little princess, i was like, "i will do that voice." >> seth: yeah. >> yeah. >> seth: and were you really good at frogs, princesses? >> very -- especially in a frog/princess crossover. are you kidding me? [ laughter ] >> seth: you couldn't do better. >> there was no one else in the west of ireland that could do that better than me. yeah, yeah. >> seth: was it -- it is such a joyful show. >> yes. >> seth: i just want to quickly say about "derry girls." >> yes. >> seth: was that just -- [ screams and applause ] >> thank you. >> seth: even though obviously you thrive in any accent, it must have just been so fun to do a show that was so irish and so beloved by everyone. >> the accent is so much harder than the british one because i say the word g-i-r-l -- i say girl. >> seth: yeah. >> they say geerl, which is like there's so many more vowels in that than exist. [ light laughter ] it's so difficult. >> seth: yeah. >> and like, yeah, they say things like, you know, eight-haher paher shaher and things like that. that's eight-hour power shower. sorry, i just realized i said sounds that maybe didn't -- yeah. >> seth: one more juggernaut. you were lucky enough and we were lucky enough to see you in "barbie." >> yes. >> seth: that must have been

such a cool experience. [ cheers and applause ] >> it was crazy. it was crazy. i mean i auditioned for it, and they were like, greta gerwig likes your tape, and i just fell on the ground. >> seth: yeah. >> lie on the ground for a time. and then they were like, "but, you're filming 'bridgerton,' so you can't be in it." i was like, "please a little bit." and they were like, "maybe it will work." i was like, "a small, tiny little part." so i emailed greta, and i was like, "i will clean the floors. i will make the tea, but i would love to be there." so they let me, like, pop in. but the day i went to set was the day ryan gosling had no top on. it was very overwhelming. [ laughter ] >> seth: yeah. >> that is hard, and people don't give me enough sympathy for how hard that was to deal with. [ laughter ] imagine the first time you met him, you're like, "why's no top? no top." [ laughter ] yeah, it's a lot. >> seth: i thought that was in your rider. you're like, i'll do it -- >> yeah. >> seth: -- but when i get there, gosling better have his top off. >> i know. i was like -- i was like, "not again, ryan. for god's sakes, cover it up."
