Kids while hes away. Hold on. Hey, billy i told you, dont touch the stove, boy when you burn yourself, just put some tussin on it. Anyway, dont worry, loyal jimmy kimmel viewers. Tonight you are in good hands. Good, chapped, overlysanitized hands. Id like to also say hello to my virtual sidekick. Are you there, guillermo . Hi, how are you . Im doing all right, brother. Tell me this, why didnt jimmy take you on vacation with him . Because hes a cheap son of a bitch. That we both know. Im here for free, and you get what you paid for. I hope you all had a nice holiday weekend. Although this was probably the worst fourth of july ever. This year instead of fireworks we all watched our summer plans explode. Here in los angeles, mayor garcetti actually cancelled all firework displays in the interest of covid safety. So instead the people of los angeles did this. These are illegal fireworks going off in the city of los angeles. Our helicopter has been flying for the past 10, 15 minutes or so. There are massive fireworks going off pretty much in every direction you see here. Our local Fire Departments and Police Departments have been begging people not to do this. But it seems theyre not listening to those calls. Maybe they just cant hear those calls because an m80 blew out their eardrums. You know, l. A. Has a reputation of being full of rich people with dogs in their purses. But i was born here and thats the l. A. That i know. This weekend we saw lots of maskless people out partying as if theyve never even heard of the coronavirus. And the scene at diamond lake in michigan on saturday was particularly infectious. Oh you guys are so amazing out there. Yes, theyre amazing. And now also hospitalized. By the way, you know who has the worst job in america . This brother right here who had to stand kneedeep in covid juice listening to a bunch of drunk white people sing guns n roses. Get that man a raise and a vaccine. President trump also had a rager outside the white house on saturday. And this kind of tells you everything you need to know about america right now. In 2015, president obama had bruno mars perform at his fourth of july party. And trump had this. Uptown funk you up uptown funk you up now you sing it we got to do that again. Uptown funk you up uptown funk you up come on, okay, i like this, lets keep going. Keep what going . Wow, major embarrassment. Thats the name of the lead singer. Speaking of president s, the 2020 election has an exciting lastminute candidate. On saturday, kanye west tweeted, we must now realize the promise of america by trusting god, unifying our vision, and building our future. I am running for president of the united states. 2020vision. Wow, president kanye. Thats right, yeezy wants to be preezy. And, you know, laugh all you want, but this would be historic, because while this country has had a black president , weve never had a crazy black president. It should be pointed out that kanye still has to register with the federal election commission, collect enough signatures to get on the ballot, create a campaign platform, and hes already missed the deadline to file as an independent candidate in a bunch of states. But other than that, he good. All right, id like to switch gears and get serious for a moment. Im going to speak directly to all the white people out there. You know who you are. Listen, i know with all the turmoil going on in this country it isnt easy to be white right now. You have positive intentions, you love your fellow man, and you want your Black Brothers and sisters to know youre one of the good ones. But how do you do that besides tweeting how much you love hamilton . How do you tell the world, i am so woke, i feel like i just mainlined a super big gulp sized coffee . Black coffee. Its easy to say you arent racist, but how do you show it . What you need is a bff. A black fictional friend. This is a new Business Venture of mine that connects white people with the africanamerican acquaintance they so desperately need. For just 50 a month, your black fictional friend will take a photo with you every month to post on instagram. And for an extra 89. 95, hell like it.

Good to see you, too. I have a question for you. Both you and i have guest hosted jimmy kimmel before. This is my second time. Correct. What is your approach and technique when you host shows like this . I dont think i bring anything different than i would to a conversation. I feel like hosting is about being the guide to the party. You know . To kind of guide the scenario. And then i like to just listen. You know . And be present. Which is all the things you do really naturally. So, yeah, yeah. Thats what i do. Thats what you do . You notice they didnt ask me to come in and guest host. So [ laughter ] maybe whatever my tactic is, it didnt work. No, no, no, no. They just know youre busy. They just know youre busy. Now, how are you holding up during this quarantine time . What do you do to kill time every day . Honestly, ive been really busy. I have pattern, that we had a launch recently for phase two. All of our styling products. Its been a lot of zooming, a lot of cooking. Its really interesting that cleaning, laundry, cooking, kimmel, calling your mom, like, all these things are the same level. Deciding on packaging, pitching a project. Theyre all the same level of importance. Right. You mentioned calling your mom, which is something i have to do almost every other day with my mother. Both of our parents are from the same generation. Is your mother technically savvy . Can she facetime, do you do Group Facetimes and chats . My mom is actually great. Shell pop up on a zoom, and im like, why do you look so gorgeous . Shes like, im just in my sweats. Shes like, gorgeous. So my mom is really technically savvy. Shes great. My dad on the other hand, this is what doing a facetime with my dad hes like, can you see me, sweetheart . Im like, no, dad, i cannot see you. I can see you, sweetheart. No, dad, just move the camera. My dad is not as technically savvy. My mom calls it facegramming and instabooking. She confuses the two. She confuses the two. Now, lets talk about your pattern hair line for a second. You relaunched on juneteenth. We did. Are you making product for men . Tracee, i have facial hair. I need pattern beauty for my facial hair and my back hair. Can you help me out . We have a nice brush for you to use on your back hair. The mens products are coming. But all of the products that exist now can be used for men. So all of the shampoo, conditioner, you can use those on your beard. The styling products like the gel, you got your little twists. You need some product in there. Make sure youre moisturized, hydrated. I dont know if you need the edge tamer, because ive never seen you do baby hairs. But maybe youre going to start a trend. Okay. I will start using the product, because i have two boxes at that you gave me, and ive been meaning to take a picture and send it to you. Because every time im in the shower or soaking in the tub, theres just a picture of your face staring at me. [ laughter ] i win i win. Tell her i said im sorry. No problem, no problem. Can we talk about the high note for a minute . Please, did you watch it, anthony . Yes, i did. Oh, i dont know, that felt like a lie. No, i watched it. Of course i watched it. Because i knew we would be talking about it on this. Okay. How was it for you . How did they approach you to do this movie . And how nervous were you to sing and act in a feature film . Well, first of all, i love this movie and especially now, its like a feelgood movie. Theres no bad guy. Im kind of the bad guy in the movie. But its really a movie about the fact that theres no place, no time in your life when you should give up on your dreams. Which i loved. Im playing this icon superstar singing sensation. I had to sing. I chased this project. I went after this. They did not come after me, i went after them. I was like, i met with anyone and everybody to make sure they knew i was the one. It was terrifying for me to sing. Jennifer lewis still tells me i cant sing. Every time i start singing, shes like, la la la, so terrible. But i loved it. I recorded on the soundtrack, i have five songs. And anthony anderson, are you ready for this bit of information . Talk to me. I may know it. Okay.

Im your temporary host, anthony anderson. Now, as the mayor of washington, d. C. , our next guest renamed a street in front of the white house black lives matter plaza, but just to be safe, in case trump didnt get the message, she had this giant mural visible from space painted there, too. Please say hello to mayor Muriel Bowser. Hi, anthony. Thanks for having me. Thank you for being a part of this. How are you . Im doing fantastic. Were going to just jump right into the mural. And the renaming of the street. Why did you do it . Well, anthony, i think you saw, like so Many Americans saw, Peaceful Protesters in front of the white house after a horrendous murder witnessed by the world, attacked by their government. And what we saw here in washington, d. C. , was federal forces, national guards, police that were unidentified, slowly moving on to d. C. Streets, away from the white house and out into our city and into local washington. We really felt that we had to push them back. We did all that we could, using all of our arguments and persuasion and going to the media. And we were able to push those guards back and reclaim our street in front of the white house. Which was so important to us. And sending an affirming message at a very pivotal time in the nations history, we think, is also a good thing. This is your second term as mayor of d. C. Has this been your most challenging year thus far . I will tell you, we didnt think 2020 would bring a global pandemic. And we certainly could have never thought about having to shut our city down and economy down, and businesses and so many people being out of work because of covid. Sustained demonstrations, as well, have been very challenging. No, we couldnt imagine it. And it has been incredibly challenging. But i will tell you, all the people who work for us in d. C. , 37,000 d. C. Government workers, our businesses and residents, have done exactly what weve asked. Weve been able to blunt the curve of covid. Hopefully that means we can have a safe reopening of our economy in the very near future. Okay, switching reels, lets talk about d. C. Statehood. Yes, lets. Lets talk about why its so important for the District Of Columbia to become a state, and why has it taken this long, and hasnt happened yet. Im so glad youre talking about this on late night tv so millions of americans will know that the residents of their Nations Capital are not treated equally. They will know that our congresswoman doesnt have a vote. They will know we dont have two senators. And thats just unamerican. We pay taxes. We go to wars. We do everything that is asked of us as american citizens. But were not represented. So the roots of our lack of statehood go back and we think are rooted in slavery. We know and weve heard from the highest levels of office in our land that people are against us becoming a state because they think that we will elect two democrats to the senate. But we all know that our american citizenship is not based on whether were a democrat or a republican. And statehood shouldnt be based on whether were democrats or republicans. Just that we pay our full share, and we want our full representation. And of the 700,000 residents of the District Of Columbia, you guys pay more taxes, more than 22 states in the country. And because you are not a state, you missed out on 750 million in the stimulus package that could have helped the District Of Columbia and its residents. Right. So sometimes people think, youre just a little district. The fact is, we have more residents than montana and vermont, and a similar number of residents than two other states. And we give more to the federal government than we get back. So theres a misconception out there that everything that we do is paid for by the federal government. But the last time i checked my pay stub, i pay federal taxes. Right. And thats the same for every taxpayer in the District Of Columbia. We pay federal taxes, but we dont get our fair share back. Okay. Ladies and gentlemen, there you have it. Mayor Muriel Bowser of the District Of Columbia, hopefully soon to be, and were going to change the name of the city as well if that happens . We will be the 51st state, and well be washington, d. C. , but this time, its the douglas commonwealth. There you go. On that, well be right back, ladies and gentlemen. Looks like they picked the wrong getaway driver. Theyre going to be paying for this for a long time. They will, but with accident forgiveness allstate wont raise your rates just because of an accident, even if its your fault. Cut sonny. Was that good . Line the desert never lies. Isnt that what i said . No you were talking about allstate and insurance. I just. When i. Lets try again. Everybody back to one. Accident forgiveness from allstate. Click or call for a quote today.

Now go wash your damn hands, america. Oh, hey, who is the dude he always forgets about at the end of the show . Yeah, him. Im not going to say his name this is nightline. Tonight, pandemic wave warning, for a bruised and battered cruise industry, trapped aboard the very first floating epicenters last spring. His fever is now 103 again. Hes burning up.
