12:05 am
>> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live!" tonight -- jamie foxx. from "blackish," tracee ellis ross. "do you have what it takes?" and music from the new basement tapes. with cleto and the cletones. and now, when all else fails, here's jimmy kimmel! ♪ it's "jimmy kimmel live" [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: hi, everybody. i'm jimmy, i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching, thanks for coming. thank you for everything.
12:06 am
wow. i appreciate that. how many of you are visiting us here in los angeles today? by a show of mouths, i guess? [ cheers and applause ] today might have been the nicest day of the year. it was sunny and 74 degrees today. today is why everyone hates us. at least it's one of the reasons why. 50% of the nation is covered in snow. the good news is the other 50% is covered in delicious melted cheese. [ laughter ] record low temperatures, a very cold autumn so far. but i like to look at the bright side. the bright side, you're all one good ice storm away from being able to get out of thanksgiving with the inlaws. so sorry we can't be there. mreels please give our love to cousin greg, okay? and the national weather service issued windchill advisories. you hear that, wind? you're being advised to chill. don't make the weather service ask again.
12:07 am
buffalo got six foot of snow. they got 5'10" inches of snow. they rounded it up for their tinder profile. you know, we spend a lot of time here at this show scouring local weather reports from around the country for things to share. and this gem, from the local cbs affiliate in kansas city. please direct your attention to the graphics on the screen. >> 27 at noon will feel pretty good. hard to say. hard to believe that 27 is going to feel nice. back down to freezing again. >> jimmy: well, it's not ass cold. that's good. [ applause ] i hate when i come down with an ass cold. this is very surprising. according to a new international survey, germany has overtaken the united states as the world's favorite country. germany is the most popular country in the world. which if you think about it is a hell of a comeback. [ applause ]
12:08 am
are there some germans here? what's going on? united states is now the second-most popular country. we're still the fattest, though, so don't -- [ laughter ] you guys are from germany? oh what's it like to be so popular? >> nice. >> jimmy: it's nice, huh? what part of germany are you from? >> west germany. >> jimmy: it seems like you're having fun. [ laughter ] say hello to everyone back in bonn for us. bonn is name of the place? >> yes. >> reporter: bonjour, everyone. anyway, the survey was based on more than 20,000 people in 20 countries. the u.s. had been number one. we've been number one since 2009. is it make, or does it seem a little bit unfair that they did this survey before the mcrib came back? but congratulations to germany. i guess that's what happens when you get the world drunk for a whole month.
12:09 am
last night on this program, we had the honor of unvaming "people" magazine's sexiest man alive. chris hem shemsworth was the recipient. i did not win this year, because of racism. but i was included in the sexiest man alive issue. i think i was on page 89, which happened to be a topic this morning on "good morning america." >> jimmy kimmel who made the official announcement last night made the list, as well. >> he did. he's in a group of guys that are called geeky to gorgeous. apparently he -- he went ahead and did this thing. ryan seacrest, all these guys, they were just horrible looking. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: horrible-looking? it's not like we had horns coming out of our foreheads. we were kids. what's going on at "good morning america" s america"?
12:10 am
last week, they made fun of my dancing. this week, i'm horrible looking. i'm getting bullied by a morning television show. like high school all over again. here's an important holiday shopping announcement. starbucks has announced they will be open on thanksgiving day. the company says the stores are a gathering place, and they have chosen to keep their doors open. that's nice. when your drunk uncle passes out in your bathroom, you can go to starbucks and use their bathroom. this is pretty great. this is video of two young boys, brothers, the video is very popular online. and listen to it closely, because the best part is the dad trying not to laugh while he reprimands them. >> did you think this was a good idea? who got the paint out? your brother did? no? how did he get it?
12:11 am
do you think i should not give you guys anymore juice? [ laughter ] >> what is funny? >> nothing is funny, bud. how do you think we're going to get this paint off? [ laughter ] >> what's funny? what's funny? >> both of you guys are in big trouble. >> big trouble? >> big trouble. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: it's like "braveheart" in the bathtub. let me tell you something -- [ applause ] thank god for phones with cameras on them, because if that happened in, like, 1982, unless it happened to steven spielberg's kids, none of us would be able to see it. there's a hot new wedding trend i did not know about until today.
12:12 am
many couples are including exotic animals in their wedding ceremonies. for real. wedding planners say they've been sourcing everything from elephants to monkeys to pythons for weddings. one great thing about having an elephant at your wedding is that you look very thin next to it. python seems like a bad idea, right? cue the flower girl. where's the flower -- [ laughter ] i'm torn on this, because i don't think having exotic animals in a wedding is a good idea, but i'm very much looking forward to seeing youtube videos of it going wrong. [ laughter ] weddings and monkeys do not mix. as you know, there are many reality competition shows on television right now. there's "american idol," "the voice," "project runway." what are some of the other ones, guillermo? >> "american idol." >> jimmy: there's an echo in this room. anyway, all these shoes a s this room. anyway, all these shoes ahows a looking for the same thing. that's talent. that's why i decided to create my own show, where talent is not
12:13 am
a factor. we put out an ad asking people a simple question. what asked, do you have what it takes? we gave no details about the show other than that, and 100 people showed up to audition. they had no idea what they were getting into. they had no idea who the judges were. so fair, we aired the first two rounds. tonight, things are about to get real. it's episode three of "do you have what it takes?" >> previously on "do you have what it takes?" >> we are looking for someone who has it. >> it's not a performance competition. >> what do you have in xhoon with a shooting star? >> a powerful personage. >> if we could only choose one of you, which one should we choose? >> me. ♪ do you have what it takes
12:14 am
>> two grueling days of auditioning had taken its toll on the judges. in order to get through day three, they decided to pick up the pace. >> jimmy: what we're going to do is, we're going to give you 30 seconds to prove to us that you've got what it takes. set the clock. let's begin. >> i'm going to make you remember why i came in this -- [ yelling ] >> jimmy: time's up. wow. that was -- ridiculous. >> following intense
12:15 am
deliberations, the judges selected this guy, this guy, not this guy, but this guy and this guy. >> everyone just seemed so talented, but this is a talent competition. it's more of a personality. >> in total, 12 lucky contenders had moved onto the quarterfinal round. >> jimmy: you're all here because you might have what it takes. you know what the truth is? each one of you may have what it takes, but we have to narrow it down. so, i'm going to ask carter and taylor, please switch positions. matt, go stand next to swaggy-t. rhonda and carter, please switch positions. maria and erika, switch
12:16 am
positions. back to the original position. kennedy, will you go stand right by that true for a second, right there? yeah, right in between those trees. separate the two groups into groups of three. carter, rhonda, nadir -- i'm very sorry. >> it's all right. >> jimmy: but you're moving onto the next round. [ applause ] >> taylor, kennedy, t.s., it's over, i'm sorry. maria, matt, swaggy-t, you're moving onto the next round. amber, erika, ronald, please exit the premises immediately. thank you all. >> with that, the quarterfinals came to an end. e motions ran high. >> hello? >> dad. i'm going to be on a tv show
12:17 am
called "do you have what it takes" and i made it through. and i really want to thank you for everything. and i love you so much. >> okay, son. >> thank you, dad. >> yeah. why are you crying? >> and then -- there were six. >> jimmy: unfortunately, we can only take four. that means two of you are going to have to go home. it's time to find out if you have what it takes. each one of us is going to pick one of you. we will be your mentor going forward. malcolm? >> carter. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: what do you think, carter? you're the first picked. >> believe me, the honor is all mine, not yours.
12:18 am
this is a jaw-dropper in every capacity. definitely. >> jimmy: ali? >> based on what i've seen today, i'm going to have to go with nadir. >> thank you so much. >> jimmy: chilli. >> it's very important to me that this particular person gets a chance to show the world that they have what it takes. maria. >> thank you. >> jimmy: there are three of you left. and the person that i'm going to pick is the person i believe in this whole group wants it and appreciates it more than anyone. and that's swaggy-t. [ laughter ] >> thank you so much. >> max, rhonda.
12:19 am
thank you so much, matt and rhonda. we wish you the best. >> bye-bye, guys. >> maybe i don't have what it takes. [ laughter ] ♪ i will remember you ♪ will you remember me ♪ don't let your love >> i didn't get my backpack. [ laughter ] ♪ i will remember you >> jimmy: all right, well --
12:20 am
only four of you remain. and now this becomes a competition, not just between the four of you, but between the four of us. >> yeah. >> jimmy: we've all made our picks. >> uh-huh. >> jimmy: guys? let's do this. >> woo! >> jubilation. triumph. >> am i right? >> one of these four people has what it takes. >> on the next "do you have what it takes?" -- >> i love you so much. >> all right. ♪ do you have what it takes >> jimmy: join us one week from tonight for the home visits and mentoring sessions with our final four contestants and the live finale right here on
