>> THANKS.

>> Jimmy: I LIKE THAT DRESS.

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

HOW ARE YOU?

>> I'M GREAT, THANKS.

>> Jimmy: YOU REALLY LOOK GREAT,

I LIKE THAT.

IT'S VERY SPARKLY, AND REALLY,

YOU COULD WEAR THAT TO THE

OSCARS, OR IS IT NOT FANCY

ENOUGH FOR THE OSCARS?

>> WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT?

I HADN'T THOUGHT ABOUT IT, BUT

IT MIGHT BE TOO LATE NOW.

>> Jimmy: ARE YOU ALREADY

THINKING ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE, DO

YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO

WEAR TO THE OSCARS?

>> I DON'T, ACTUALLY, HM-MM.

>> Jimmy: SOMEBODY ELSE WILL

FIGURE THAT OUT, THOUGH, RIGHT?

>> I'D LIKE TO BE PART OF THE

CONVERSATION.

>> Jimmy: YOU WON THE SAG AWARD,

THE GOLDEN GLOBE.

I KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO THE

BAFTAS IN LONDON.

>> MM-HM.

>> Jimmy: IS IT TRUE YOU'RE

>> Jimmy: IS IT TRUE YOU'RE

DRIVING YOURSELF TO THE AIRPORT?

>> MM-HM.

DOESN'T EVERYBODY?

>> Jimmy: AND YOU'LL PARK

YOURSELF AND THEN GO IN?

>> THAT'S USUALLY HOW IT WORKS.

[ LAUGHTER ]

>> Jimmy: AT L.A.X., I KNOW TO

MOST PEOPLE IN NORMAL PLACES

THAT SOUNDS LIKE NO BIG DEAL,

BUT THAT'S A REAL COMMITMENT.

>> YEAH, NO, IT REALLY IS.

IT'S A SOJOURN.

YOU'RE ASKING LIKE A MILLION

PEOPLE TO GO INTO ONE CIRCLE AND

BE MIPOLITE TO EACH OTHER.

>> Jimmy: THEY'VE CLOSED OFF

ALMOST ALL THE PARKING.

SO YOU DRIVE IN A CIRCLE, CURSE

AND GO AWAY.

>> YOU KNOW WHAT?

IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU, I GOT AT

THAT GO.

>> Jimmy: YOU WON IN 2004.

>> I CAN'T REMEMBER.

>> Jimmy: FOR "COLD MOUNTAIN".

>> IT WAS 2004?

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

>> Jimmy: I THINK SO.

>> THANK YOU.

>> Jimmy: DO YOU HAVE LIKE

SOMETHING THAT STANDS OUT IN

YOUR MEMORY ABOVE ALL OTHERS

BESIDES WINNING THE OSCAR

ITSELF?

>> IT'S SUCH A WEIRD MOMENT, YOU

KNOW?

THAT YOU JUST REMEMBER THAT YOUR

PLAN TO NOT DO THAT SPIRAL THAT

YOU SEE PEOPLE DO ON TV WHEN YOU

ROLL YOUR EYES, IT JUST GOES OUT

THE WINDOW.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE THE GEEK

PERSON WHO FREEZES UP AND CAN'T

HEAR ANYTHING AND GETS EMOTIONAL

AND THEN SOMEBODY SAYS YOUR NAME

AND YOU HEAR THIS, LIKE, DOOO.

AND THEN, YOU KNOW, YOU DO THE

GEEK SPIRAL.

DO YOU.

YOU DO THE GEEK SPIRAL AND HOPE

YOU DON'T STUMBLE ON THE WAY UP.

AND I COULDN'T HEAR ANYTHING AND

I DIDN'T REMEMBER ANYTHING.

AND I REMEMBER SOMEBODY WAS

TALKING, AND I GUESS IT WAS ME.

AND I WAS LOOKING OUT AT THE

AUDIENCE, YOU KNOW, MY

CO-WORKERS FOR SO MANY YEARS AND

FRIENDS AND PEOPLE I'VE ADMIRED

FOREVER AND EVER.

FAN, YES, GEEK FAN IN THAT ROOM,

BIG TIME.

AND I REMEMBER THINKING, MY

GOSH, IT'S LIKE SERGEANT

PEPPER'S ALBUM COVER.

ALL THESE PEOPLE WERE FROZEN,

STARING AND I REMEMBER SEAN PENN

WAS AT 12:00.

HE WAS JUST SMILING.

I WAS TALKING, GOING THAT'S SEAN

PENN.

I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT I SAID.

>> Jimmy: YOU GOT SPAKOLI'D IN

THE MIDDLE OF YOUR SPEECH.

>> THANK YOU FOR POINTING THAT

OUT.

>> Jimmy: I ASSUME YOU'VE SEEN

THIS.

BUT YOU WERE ON THE COVER OF

"VANITY FAIR" THIS MONTH WITH

JENNIFER LOPEZ.

AS PART OF THE WORLD'S LEAST

SCARY BIKER GANG.

[ LAUGHTER ]

YOU ARE REALLY ON HIS BACK OR IS

THIS PHOTO SHOPPED?

>> I'M TELLIN' YOU, THAT'S THE

2

WAY TO MEET SOMEBODY.

>> Jimmy: HOW LONG DID IT TAKE

TO DO THIS?

>> IT WASN'T THAT LONG.

>> Jimmy: NOT TOO LONG?

>> IT WAS LONG FOR MY LEFT

THIGH, BECAUSE I WAS BALANCING

ON MY TIPPYTOE.

>> Jimmy: DID YOU SAY I'D LIKE

TO BE ONE OF THE PEOPLE DRIVING

THE MOTORCYCLE?

>> I DIDN'T REALLY CARE.

BECAUSE EDDIE MURPHY WAS GOING

TO BE THERE AND J. LO.

I'M LIKE, WHATEVER.

>> Jimmy: WAS HE FUN?

>> HE WAS SO NICE.

FUN.

JUST PLAYING SOME MUSIC AND

SINGIN'.

HE'S GOT A LOVELY VOICE.

HE WAS FINE.

I WAS JUST TRYING TO NOT PUT ALL

MY WEIGHT ON HIM, BECAUSE YOU

KNOW, LADIES, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M

TALKIN' ABOUT.

I'M TRYING TO BE, YOU KNOW.

>> Jimmy: HE'S A STURDY MAN.

>> I'M SURE HE COULD HAVE

HANDLED THE TASK.

BUT WE JUST MET.

SO I FIGURED, YOU KNOW.

>> Jimmy: DO YOU RECOGNIZE THIS

HOME THAT IS CURRENTLY FOR SALE?

[ LAUGHTER ]

>> WE BUILT THAT HOUSE.

>> Jimmy: THIS IS, THIS HOME

WON'T LAST.

ONCE HOME TO FAMED ACTRESS RENEE

ZELLWEGER.

THIS WAS YOUR CHILDHOOD HOME?

>> IT WAS ONE OF THEM.

THAT WAS MY DAD'S DREAM.

MY DAD IS A SWISS ENGINEER.

SO HE WAS ALWAYS BUILDING THINGS

WITH HIS SOLDERING IRON ON THE

DINING ROOM TABLE.

>> Jimmy: HE BUILT IT WITH THAT?

>> ONE DAY, ONE DAY, HE BOUGHT

THAT LAND FROM ONE OF HIS

CO-WORKERS, AND WE PLANTED SOME

LITTLE BABY PINE TREES.

>> Jimmy: THAT ARE BIG NOW.

>> I DON'T THINK THEY MADE THE

CUT IN THE PHOTO.

BUT WE PUT THE SEPTIC SYSTEM IN.

WE WERE OUT IN THE YARD WITH THE

DITCH WITCH.

DAD WANTS TO DO IT RIGHT.

IF YOU WANT IT DONE RIGHT YOU DO

IT YOURSELF.

>> Jimmy: IS THAT HOW HE?

>> SO WE DID IT.

WE BUILT A SEPTIC SYSTEM

TOGETHER.

HEY.

OH, THE THINGS CAN YOU DO.

>> Jimmy: DOES YOUR DAD, DOES

YOUR FAMILY HAVE A LITTLE PARTY

AND WATCH THE, LIKE THE OSCARS

AND THESE SHOWS WHEN YOU'RE

NOMINATED FOR THEM?

>> YEAH, ACTUALLY.

>> Jimmy: THEY DO?

>> YEAH.

>> Jimmy: AND DO YOU CALL THEM

RIGHT AFTERWARDS?

>> IN 2000 AND --

>> Jimmy: WELL, YOU WON THE SAG

AWARD AND THE GOLDEN GLOBE.

DO YOU CALL THEM UP?

>> WELL, YEAH.

I DON'T BRING MY PHONE IN WITH

ME, BUT AFTER I DO, YEAH.

>> Jimmy: YOU CHECK IN WITH THEM

IN AND EVERYBODY SCREAMS AND ALL

THAT KIECHBD STUFF?

>> IT'S VERY SWEET.

>> Jimmy: YOU KNOW MAYBE ONE OF

THEM COULD DROP YOU OFF AT THE

AIRPORT.

>> Jimmy: THE MOVIE IS "JUDY."

>> Dicky: PORTIONS OF "JIMMY

KIMMEL LIVE" ARE BROUGHT TO YOU

BY LIPTON TEA.

TAKE A SIP ON THE SUNNY SIDE.

♪ SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW

♪ WAY UP HIGH

♪ THERE'S A LAND THAT I'VE HEARD

OF ♪

♪ ONCE IN A LULLABY

>> Jimmy: THAT IS RENEE

ZELLWEGER IN "JUDY."

IT'S IN THEATERS NOW.

YOU ARE NOMINATED FOR AN ACADEMY

AWARD, AS WELL.

WHAT A SAD LIFE SHE HAD.

TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS

PERIOD OF JUDY GARLAND'S LIFE.

I DIDN'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT HER.

I KNOW SHE WAS IN "WIZARD OF

OZ."

BUT IT'S REALLY A TOUGH GO SHE

HAD, IT SEEMS.

>> WELL, I DIDN'T KNOW MUCH

ABOUT THIS CHAPTER OF HER LIFE

EITHER.

THIS IS TOWARDS THE END OF HER

LIFE.

SHE DID A SERIES OF CONCERTS

OVER IN LONDON.

AND YES, SHE WAS FACING

FINANCIAL HARDSHIPS.

SHE DIDN'T REALLY HAVE A PLACE

TO LIVE AND WAS NOT GETTING WORK

BECAUSE SHE WAS CONSIDERED

UNEMPLOYABLE.

SO SHE WENT OVER AND DID THESE

CONCERTS AND THE MOVIE TOUCHES

ON THAT PART OF HER LIFE WHEN

SHE WAS TRYING TO GET HER NEXT

NEW CHAPTER GOING, YOU KNOW.

>> Jimmy: SEPARATED FROM HER

CHILDREN, WHICH IS VERY TOUGH.

>> YEAH.

JO

>> Jimmy: I HAVE TO COMPLIMENT

YOU ON YOUR SINGING IN THE

MOVIE, NOT JUST BECAUSE IT'S

VERY GOOD, BUT ON TOP OF IT, YOU

REALLY, A LOT OF TIMES IN THESE

MOVIES, THEY'LL RECORD THE VOCAL

TRACK IN A STUDIO, AND YOU GO

LIMB

LIP SYNCH IT, BUT YOU REALLY DID

THE SINGING THERE AECHEACH TIME

FRONT OF EVERYONE ON CAMERA.

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

>> Jimmy: THAT'S SO MUCH BETTER

I THINK.

DID YOU WANT TO DO IT LIKE THAT?

>> NO.

NO, DEFINITELY NOT.

BUT RUPERT, THE DIRECTOR, HE

THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE BETTER,

TOO.

BUT I DIDN'T THINK HE WAS

SERIOUS.

I THOUGHT I WOULD BE ABLE TO

TALK HIM OUT OF IT ON THE DAY.

>> Jimmy: YOU DID.

>> YEAH.

>> Jimmy: AND YOU WERE UNABLE TO

TALK HIM OUT OF IT.

>> YEAH, I COULDN'T TALK HIM OUT

OF IT.

>> Jimmy: DID THAT FRIGHTEN YOU,

SINGING LIVE IN FRONT OF THE

CREW.

>> YEAH.

>> Jimmy: TO AN EXTREME EXTENT.

>> YEAH, THAT'S WHAT A TIGHT

SCHEDULE IS GOOD FOR.

THERE'S NO TIME TO SIT AROUND

AND TRY TO, YOU KNOW, I DON'T

KNOW.

>> Jimmy: THINK ABOUT IT TOO

MUCH.

>> YEAH.

YOU JUST GOT TO GO DO IT.

I WAS LUCKY.
