before you turn in, we have a suggestion. we're wrapping up the first day of spring with the change of seasons comes warmer weather. obviously. eventually flowers and bloom and a whole bunch of holidays to keep track of. so we made it easy with a list of all of the big dates from easter to passover to mother's day, and some information about all of them. that story is one of the top things people are clicking on right now on our website. it's up for you on the top news sidebar at abc seven news.com. >> all right. thank you so much for watching tonight. >> i'm ama daetz i'm dan ashley for sandhya patel larry biel. all of us. we appreciate your time right now on jimmy kimmel, doctor dre, snoop dogg and 56. >> have a great night everyone. >> lou: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live!" tonight -- we celebrate "dre day" with guests dr. dre, snoop dogg and curtis "50 cent" jackson. with cleto and the cletones.

and now, jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: thank you very much. hi, there. hi. very nice. hi, everybody. i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. thank you for the applause i need to stay alive. it's very kind. [ cheers and applause ] today is the first day of spring, everybody. today is the first day of spring. outside, the flowers are in bloom. inside, snoop dogg is lighting those flowers and smoking them. [ laughter ] we have a big show tonight. this afternoon, just outside our studio, dr. dre got a star on the hollywood walk of fame. [ cheers and applause ] that is literal street cred.

tonight, dr. and his friends snoop dogg and 50 cent are here to celebrate. [ cheers and applause ] there are cele-dre-tions going on all around the world. in london, the pubs are full of revelers. [ laughter ] there are fans flood is the streets of buenos aires. in sydney, australia, fireworks are lighting the sky. [ laughter ] india is celebrating with a parade of elephants. in beijing, men are so excited they are punching themselves in the tender parts. in florida, they're doing what they do in florida. [ laughter ] the celebrations have even reached north korea! [ laughter ] where they are sipping on jong and juice. [ cheers and applause ] and here we are, celebrating in person. the world-class wrecking crew will be with us shortly. today was the first day of the

ncaa college basketball tournament. this is that magical time of year, when the co-worker who knows the least about sports wins $900 in your march madness pool. [ laughter ] the top seeds are uconn, houston, purdue, and oppenheimer. [ laughter ] gonzaga is playing in their 25th consecutive tournament. [ cheers and applause ] which is very impressive. particularly when you consider that it's a totally made-up university from a noon-existent place. [ laughter ] those of you who watch the show regularly know that this is the time of year when i question the existence of "gonzaga university." [ laughter ] this is my kate middleton. okay? [ laughter ] and then after the tournament, we go into the nba finals and right into the summer olympics, which are going to be very different this time around. now that the pandemic is behind us, officials running the olympic village in paris have lifted the intimacy ban that was put in place for athletes in 2021. they are planning to distribute 300,000 condoms. there are 14,250 athletes staying in the olympic villages. 300,000 condoms works out to

about 21 condoms per athlete, which -- [ laughter ] you know, if you're having that much sex during the olympics, you're probably going to miss the olympics. [ laughter ] but not only is this the plan, it's a mandate. even the olympic rings are getting a makeover. this is the new logo. [ laughter ] i have to say, i like it. that's a very paris thing to do. every once in a while, the french need to remind the world that being horny is their thing. [ laughter ] the only bad thing about sex during the olympics is when you finish and your partner holds up a score. [ laughter ] meanwhile, here in the increasingly less united states, there were primaries in five states today. florida, illinois, kansas, ohio, and arizona. biden and trump will be the nominees for each party, there's no question about that. the only question really is how much of this we can take. trump went on a swamp creature named sebastian gorka's web show yesterday to make this compelling pitch to jewish voters. >> any jewish person that votes for democrats hates their

religion. they hate everything about israel. and they should be ashamed of themselves. >> jimmy: that's also the opening line of the speech he'll be giving at his granddaughter's bat mitzvah. [ laughter ] do you think he even knows what "ashamed" is? i mean, he's never experienced it. how much do you think he even knows about israel? he probably thinks the capital is baba ghanoush. [ laughter ] he thinks the gaza strip is a gentleman's club. [ laughter ] he doesn't care about anyone but himself. this is what he posted on instagram. "a great honor to have won both the club championship and the senior club championship this week at trump international!" then posted this video. >> jimmy: and then he billed them for the hats.

[ laughter ] he's now won the club championship, senior championship, and the super senior championship. it's amazing how often you win when you own the club. [ laughter ] and also cheat at golf. [ laughter ] and lying "lie-ger woods" is hitting the links, fox news is focused on joe biden's shoes. >> great for stability. the president does have a history of stumbling. >> president biden's rocking new sneakers. maximum support lifestyle sneakers, that is. and that is causing even more concern over his fitness to serve another term in the white house. >> jimmy: is it, though? is it really? [ laughter ] remember when hillary clinton was running and they said she was too weak to open a pickle jar? these people -- if joe biden paid $130,000 to silence a porn star, they'd be focused on how shaky the handwriting was on the check. [ laughter ] donald trump, meanwhile, his first of what will be many

criminal trials is the stormy daniels hush money case in new york. the judge yesterday ruled that both stormy and trump's former lawyer michael cohen are allowed to testify. which means there's a very good chance the court stenographer will have to type the words "mushroom penis." [ laughter ] it'll be fun to see them all together again. this is the closest he's going to get to an australia cast reunion. [ laughter ] trump is bringing back all the worst best people. remember paul manafort? his former campaign manager who was convicted of multiple felonies? the guy who gave polling data to russian intelligence. then got pardoned by trump. trump reportedly wants manafort to help oversee the republican national convention. which i'm surprised he can do because when manafort was being sentences, he claimed he had too many medical problems to go to prison. but i guess he magically healed up. and who better to run your election campaign than a man who isn't allowed to vote in the election? [ laughter ] donald trump took a brief break from complaining about the financial judgments against him to weigh in on kate middleton.

he says the altered photo kate middleton posted isn't a big deal because everyone doctors their photos. you know what? for the first time this century, i agree with donald trump. [ laughter ] it really isn't a big deal. i don't know why people are going nuts. this week in the united states, there have been more google searches for kate middleton than for joe biden or donald trump. we finally did it, we made america kate again. [ laughter ] kate, or someone who looks kind of like her, was spotted grocery shopping over the weekend with either prince william or someone who resembles prince william. kate hasn't been seen in public since she had surgery back in january, which of course led to all sorts of rumors about her whereabouts and well-being. everyone is putting together clues to find the princess like an international game of zelda. [ laughter ] i bet there's a simple explanation. maybe she got a bad perm and is waiting for her hair to grow out. [ laughter ] this shows you how different it is in the uk. kate goes missing for a few weeks and the whole country goes berserk. meanwhile, we haven't seen melania since 2021. [ laughter ]

[ cheers and applause ] they're not speculating that the palace, that buckingham palace, is working on a top-secret plan for kate to return to public life. i don't know why that would have to be a secret. it's times like these i'm grateful that our royal family is the kardashians. [ laughter ] they don't do anything top secret. they put every bit of everything on hulu for anyone to see it whenever they want, and i appreciate. [ laughter ] as i mentioned earlier, our show tonight is dedicated to a local music legend named dr. dre. [ cheers and applause ] much beloved. dre is a renaissance man. he is a producer, a rapper, a headphone magnate, and coming this fall to abc, he's about to start saving lives too. ♪ >> doctor in the house! help! >> what seems to be the problem? [ cheers ]

>> i've never seen anything like this. >> what the [ bleep ] is this? this man has no penis. >> what? i have a penis. >> not according to what i'm looking at. [ laughter ] dr. brotus? take a look at this. [ cheers ] >> i can't see [ bleep ]. >> try using this. [ laughter ] >> ah. there it is. >> let me have a look. >> i think we're going to need a specialist. dr. jackson? [ cheers ] >> what do you think? >> sorry. >> you guys got to see this. >> holy mackerel. >> all right, guys. i'm going to need you to talk me through this.

>> to the left, to the left. you've got to grab it, squeeze it. >> i'm trying. >> put it in there. there you go, there you go, there you go. [ laughter ] >> i think i found it. >> [ bleep ] look like a piece of bubble gum. >> juicy fruit. [ laughter ] >> could you put that back? i came in for a colonoscopy. i don't know what's going on here. maybe i'll come back later? like tomorrow or something? >> relax, nephew, relax, relax. here. for the next episode. [ laughter ] >> wait, what's that? turn that up. ♪ >> can i have the cart, please? >> more smoke! ♪ >> clear! ♪ [ cheers and applause ]

[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: well, thank you, dr. mcdre-my. we've got a great show for you tonight. we'll be back with dr. dre, snoop and 50 cent.

[ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: hi, there, welcome back. it is dre day here in hollywood and all around the world. snoop dogg and 50 cent are here to help us celebrate. tomorrow night, we'll be joined by jerrod carmichael and janelle james, with music from chicano batman. guillermo, bass bad news for you, snoop is mad at you. >> guillermo: why? >> jimmy: why do you think? >> guillermo: i didn't go -- [ laughter ] i went, they told me he was busy. >> jimmy: you know what he was busy doing? >> guillermo: they told me he

was in the restroom. >> jimmy: oh, okay, all right. so it's his fault. >> guillermo: it's his fault. >> jimmy: i think you're off the hook. >> guillermo: i was ready, i'm ready. >> jimmy: our first guest tonight is one of the most innovative, successful, and influential people in the history of popular music. he's got so many grammys, they named one after him, and today, he was immortalized with a star on the hollywood walk of fame. please say hello to dr. dre. [ cheers and applause ] ♪ [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: thank you for coming. look at you. you really are 6'1", 225 of pure chocolate. [ laughter ] >> you know what, i don't want that right now, stop playing. by the way, just for my -- just a disclaimer. >> jimmy: okay. >> that skit was jimmy's idea. [ laughter ]

just so everybody knows, okay? >> jimmy: congratulations, by the way. >> thank you. >> jimmy: did you ever imagine you'd have a star on the hollywood walk of fame? >> no, i didn't. that was not in my mental rolodex at all. >> jimmy: when you were a kid did you come to hold and look at those stars? >> i didn't see hollywood until i was 16, i think. >> jimmy: you never maud it over here? >> no, nothing north of wilshire. >> jimmy: when you're 16, you got here. what were you up there then? >> i'd rather not say. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: oh. they had to shut down -- >> it was a lot of fun, let me put that it way. >> jimmy: they had to shut the whole boulevard down, there were so many people to see you today. did you imagine that was going to happen? >> no, no i didn't. l.a. showed up. >> jimmy: they really did show up. [ cheers and applause ] >> it was fantastic. that was fantastic. i didn't expect it to be that many people out there to represent. but that was great. >> jimmy: is it weird for you when the cops are there and they're like, "dr. dre!"

[ laughter ] >> sometimes that's weird. >> jimmy: a little strange. do you get surprised by people who are fans, you size them up, "this can't possibly be." >> this happens sometimes. there was one time think -- i can't remember where i was. i was at a hotel in a lobby. a group of nuns came by. [ laughter ] yes. they were like, "dr. dre!" i'm like, get the f -- [ laughter ] right? i'm like, "how do you know my music? "well, we deal with a lot of kids, they love your music." i took pictures with i think six nuns. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: that's great. >> that actually happened. >> jimmy: that's pretty good. you have worked with so many -- you've launched so many careers, worked with so many people. nwa, snoop dogg, 50 cent, eminem, anderson paak, mary j. bli blige, warren g., g union it in, mc scat cat -- [ laughter ] wait a minute. that may have been an error.

i mean, that -- >> that's a tremendous amount of work. >> jimmy: that's a lot of work, that's quite a list. [ cheers and applause ] >> thank you. thank you, thank you. >> jimmy: i would imagine the answer to this is yes, but do artists from other genres often approach you and ask you to work with them? >> yes, all the time. but you know, my love is with hip-hop. it really depends on the relationship. if i meet somebody that we, you know, we click, what have you, then i'll go in the studio and get down. >> jimmy: even if it's not your type of music? like if it was -- let's say dolly parton wanted to -- >> i love dolly parton. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: that's something you would consider? >> yes. absolutely. "jolene" is one of my favorite songs. >> jimmy: oh, there you go. >> yes. >> jimmy: you could produce anybody, right? it's not about what the music is, it's -- >> absolutely, i could do that. but hip-hop is my love. >> jimmy: it's your love. when you make a song with an artist, you -- the artist comes in. do they come in with a whole --

a lot of time, i think dolly parton will write all her songs, she'll show up, she has the song all kind of ready to go, and they record it. you, though, lay the -- set the table, right? you really are much more involved in the song than most producers? >> well, usually the track is laid out. every now and then, an artist comes in with the lyrics first, and that has only happened a couple of times in my drear. one time was eminem, a song called "forgot about dre." [ cheers and applause ] yes, yes. >> jimmy: nothing comes out when they move their lips, right? >> eminem wrote that he had the entire song written before the track. we had to make the track work with his lyrics. he wrote that entire song. >> jimmy: is it true that you don't like the artist to write the lyrics down on paper? >> no, that's not true. that happens. i mean, these days. it just feels -- a little bit borg, as a producer, to sit in the studio and wait for an artist to go away.

go in another room and write the lyrics while you're sitting there waiting. i like it to be a collaborative effort. once the track is done, we're collaborating with the lyrics and that's how -- how i prefer it. >> jimmy: in the movies, sometimes in television, producers don't do anything. [ laughter ] >> i'm learning that now. >> jimmy: they do nothing, yeah. >> you know. >> jimmy: their name is on the thing. >> "executive producer" in the movies, it means absolutely nothing. i'm starting to learn that. >> jimmy: yeah. you, i know, listen to a lot of music. going through old records. do you go to yard sales? where do you get all your records? >> i used to. pawnshops and what have you to find different sounds for music. back in the day i had, say, one or two keyboards to make an entire album. i had to figure out ways to make the sounds different. so i would go in pawnshops and find guitar pedals and what have you to

this one particular keyboard sound different. >> jimmy: do you still do that? >> no. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: the next episode, a huge, huge hit. this is where you got the music track? >> yeah. >> jimmy: this album. you go to a pawnshop and this is h1n1 you take home? [ laughter ] >> you know what i collect records. i been collecting albums -- >> jimmy: not this one. [ laughter ] >> that was a part of it. international records. milo stiff rin and all these types -- >> >> jimmy: this guy was on "ncis." >> i didn't know that. >> jimmy: he was, yeah. >> it happened to be a song that was in one of my crates, you know, and it worked out. >> jimmy: you went through every track on this album and found that. >> yes. >> jimmy: you're like," that's great." you never looked at the cover and said, "man, maybe not"? [ laughter ] >> no, no. to be honest with you, i sampled this song before i knew who the artist was. >> jimmy: did you ever meet this guy? >> no, i never met him,

unfortunately. >> jimmy: he's passed away, so it's not going to happen. >> [ bleep ]. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: you also sometimes will create sounds that instruments don't make. >> yes. >> jimmy: so -- like they do in the movies kind of, right? >> yeah. >> jimmy: what are some sounds you've crated? >> we used to have to bring trash cans and boxes and just different things that would make sounds, a snare drum, a kick drum. that was just part of the creative process at that time. which, to be honest with you, was much more fun. >> jimmy: yeah. >> now you can just turn the computer, you can find all the things that took us hours to find. you could find that in 2 seconds. >> jimmy: you bring in a trash can and bang on the trash can? >> sometimes, yes. >> jimmy: would you ever record like a children's album? like redo "baby shark" or something like that? [ laughter ] >> not "baby shark" but a children's album, maybe. >> jimmy: you would? >> yeah. >> jimmy: that would be something else. >> yeah, the parents might be a little bit upset about it. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah, yeah. you'd have to put a sticker on

it for sure. all right. are you ready for this? because it can be kind of like "this is your life." you remember that old show? >> let's go. >> jimmy: we bring out characters from your life? >> let's go. >> jimmy: let's take a break. dr. dre is here, snoop dogg is here, 50 cent is here.

[ laughter ] >> no, this is -- dre is like a complete inspiration for me. like, i've been listening to his music before it was even a serious idea for me to get next to him. and then when i got to the studio, even that first record, it was four days but it was like -- i think we did eight joints -- >> no, seven days. let me tell you the story. [ laughter ] let me interrupt it for a second, just for a second. so i did the "get rich or die trying." it was supposed to be me producing half of the album, eminem producing the other half. i was in studio with 50 seven days for my entire half of the album. he came in there went crazy. writing, put up another one.

writing, put up the entire one. we got the entire thing done in seven days, at least my half. that's what happened. >> it was. i felt we was done in four. [ laughter ] you know what i mean? because he had ideas and things that -- he's very meticulous, he wants it to be perfect. you got to -- you know, "say this like this." i'm like, okay. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah. eminem introduced you? >> yeah, yeah. i mean, if -- i know em to get to him. >> jimmy: you took less money to work with dr. dre than you could have received from others? >> i got a lot of money, though -- >> that's not true. [ laughter ] >> they gave me a lot of money. >> jimmy: how much money did he give you? >> made a million dollars. >> jimmy: a million dollars? >> oubd in the neighborhood that's a lot of money. >> jimmy: that is a lot. what did you do with the million when you got it? >> jimmy, jimmy, stop asking the man what he did with his money, man. [ laughter ] [ bleep ]. >> the first thing i did, i got my grandmother a car. >> jimmy: that's -- all right, that's good, that's good, nice.

[ applause ] >> i had opportunity, like i had smaller amounts of money before, like when i got it, it burnt a hole in me. and it never got a chance to do nothing that really affected anything. >> jimmy: did dre give you advice? "listen, here's how you should handle your money, here's what you should, should not do"? >> he didn't. [ laughter ] >> i did not. >> he didn't tell me -- it was like, "you'll be all right." [ laughter ] >> jimmy: you guys -- you played the super bowl together. that was quite a show. [ cheers and applause ] this photograph is not upside down, you were upside down. that looks unpleasant. >> jimmy, i was like 30 pounds heavier at that point, too. i was not ready for that. [ laughter ] i was playing an institutionalized guy on abc.

it was as big as possible. he wasn't supposed to be like 50 cent. >> jimmy: uh-huh? >> i gained a little weight. then i decided i was going to come in, i wanted to have an intro like the music videos. i was upside down. and i really didn't think that out. [ laughter ] because we had hare for like seven days i was upside down. i'm like, did i fall on my head? risk versus reward? what do i get? [ laughter ] everybody else was coming in, snoop doing his thing. [ laughter ] >> 50 crazy, i don't know what made you want to go upside down. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: i've been there many times. "oh, this turned out to be a bad idea." >> it was one of those things. my weight shifted the other way, so it made me feel a lot bigger than i was. [ laughter ] i just wasn't -- that combination, that could have went a little different. >> jimmy: we got a little bit of news about the album that's coming out. "missionary." are you on the album? >> i got one with snoop. [ cheers and applause ]

>> yes, yes, yes. >> jimmy: oh, really? wow. >> i'll tell you thousand that works. >> jimmy: tell me how it works. >> i get a text message from dre, a text from em, almost simultaneously. oh-oh. stop what you're doing, i don't care if you're producing a television show, i don't care what you're doing, stop and figure out how to get this done right now, it's that urgent. i went and wrote my part -- because to me, that's what it feels like. >> jimmy: right. >> because of those other people, don't mean the same thing to me. >> jimmy: uh-huh, right, sure. >> when i get it done, i send it back, i get the fire emojis back. [ laughter ] >> i usually do something for him, it's different. he'll go like this. he won't even say, "i like that one." ill he'll go like this. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: so you're telling me dr. dre uses emojis?

[ laughter ] that's something i never imagined. >> well -- >> jimmy: tell me about the text chain. who's on the text chain? >> it was two -- me and dre. >> jimmy: you guys, when something happens that you think is funny, let's say a famous hip-hop artist finds himself in a very embarrassing situation, like you guys immediately start texting each other about that? >> that's 50 and snoop. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah? >> i'll be watching instagram all time. i'll see it and i'll repost what he just did. >> jimmy: i know you lik that kind of stuff, lyeah.
