i want to begin by sending special well wishes to our viewers in oklahoma who are in a state of emergency. did you hear about this? in oklahoma last night they introduced an emergency bill to keep transgender people from using the bathroom. that's right. this is the bill. it declares, quote, for the preservation of the public peace, health and safety, an emergency is hereby declared to exist. this would be a good time to call your family members in oklahoma to make sure they're okay. [ laughter ] how can this be an emergency? how many transgender people can there even be in oklahoma? four? who do you call when a man dressed as a woman walks into the ladies' room? the fashion police? i want you to know that wherever you live, i am here to help you during this time of bathroom emergency. what is going on? let me tell you something. i have had bathroom emergencies. this is not one of them. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: i once had to abandon my car in the left lane of traffic, get out, and run into a casual asian restaurant called pickup sticks by the way. that was a bathroom emergency. this is -- i'll tell you something. this will all change when i'm vice president of these united states. please, bring out the podium.

[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: very popular. i was talking to bryan about president obama. you were on broadway at the same time bryan was doing his show. >> i was. we were a few streets over. the president came to our show first. >> jimmy: yeah, the president came to see your show. you were doing "a raisin in the sun." when there's a very famous person in the audience at a show you're doing on broadway, do you want to know they're there, prefer not? >> no. i actively tell people do not tell me. there was steve mcqueen came to our show, and that show happened to be a not great show for me. like we couldn't -- our energy was bumping against each other and i was like that wasn't a great show, and i walked downstairs and there was steve mcqueen, and i -- i died the death of 10,000 doves in my heart. >> jimmy: really. >> so i don't want to know while it's happening so then i can continue to do my show and not be on stage thinking -- >> jimmy: can you see the people? >> i can't see them. i can see you almost. >> jimmy: the president and the first lady both came to the show. >> yes. >> jimmy: when they come to the show it's got to be a very big deal, secret service, all that stuff. >> there is no surprise. don't bring an extra snack. your bags and you are being searched. you're being searched. the blocks were blocked off before you got to our street. you had to go through secret service. there was nothing secret about it. it started very, very late, and the audience was so amped, and i think if i'm remembering correctly, sophie was the first on stage, then denzel came out and there was this huge burst of applause. and i was like, they're really loving denzel tonight. they were loving president obama. >> jimmy: did he walk in midway through the play? >> no. i think a lot of people all of a sudden realized he was there. there was this huge burst of applause. >> jimmy: they didn't know why they were being searched? on the way in? >> here's one thing that you need to know. if the president is coming to you or you're going to them, you never know if it's really going to happen. >> jimmy: i see. >> for security. it might happen, or it might be you and your friends with each other. >> jimmy: overall a positive experience? >> very positive. >> jimmy: and now you're in "rots." this is a reimagining. a reimagining of "roots." what's the difference between a remake and a re-imagine. >> the remake will try to stay the course of the original thing. this is something that, because it's 40 years after the original, we just -- because of research were able to have a lot more information about particularly what happened in africa before he was brought to these shores. we now know where he came from was an extraordinarily developed area with universities, scholarship, libraries, a huge city. people on horseback who were warriors. it was not the small, a couple of huts. >> jimmy: yeah, that's what it was. >> the spot we thought that it was. not because alex halex didn't do the research, he just didn't have the skills that we have now with dna and carbon dating and google, all the stuff that we have. >> jimmy: you're probably too young to remember when that mini series was on. it was, i think, 130 million people watched it. i remember everyone was watching that, and it was such -- did you watch the mini series? >> i was too little to watch it. >> jimmy: i mean later on. >> yes. i've seep it. i saw it with my family. i saw it in junior high. i had an amazing conversation. i was in cannes. there was a group of people from japan interested in possibly bringing the new one there. they said the term roots was coined from the movie. so when in japan they speak of searching for roots or your roots, they use that word -- it is now in their language because of the original movie. >> jimmy: that's crazy. that movie was a huge deal. congratulations on the mini series. [ cheers and applause ] >> thank you. >> jimmy: it's called "roots." premieres may 30th at 9:00 on history. anika noni rose! be right back with joanna newsom. >> dicky: the jimmy kimmel live concert series is presented by samsung. >> dicky: the jimmy kimmel live concert series is presented by samsung. >> jimmy: thanks to all my special guests. apologies to matt damon, we ran out of time for him.
