Kathy said of the Martin Bashir show, “You know what I loved about that special? Every moment was insane.” Kimmel said, “One thing I like was the foreign guy who pretended to be his best friend for eight months and nailed him to the cross.” Read on for a transcript.
Jimmy: Wasn’t that good?
Kathy: You know what I loved about that special? Every moment was insane. It’s not like you watched a special. There was this one part that was really weird. Every minute was like in — he’s got to go to jail or jump off the balcony. He has to do something tomorrow.
Jimmy: One thing I like was the foreign guy who pretended to be his best friend for eight months and nailed him to the cross.
Kathy: The brits don’t screw around. They’ll put you on the cover.
Jimmy: It’s great. If you watch the thing, he and Michael are shopping. They’re riding the Ferris wheel. They’re holding hands. And the last thing, you’ve had plastic surgery. You’ve raped little boys. At: They weren’t say hey were shopping in Las Vegas.
Jimmy: No.
Kathy: All they were doing was buying insane urns that he doesn’t pay for.
Jimmy: He got those for free?
Kathy: Yeah, but Sotheby’s is suing him, for paintings he bought. What’s shocking, too.
I’m on stage and I do a joke about him being a child molester people go boo. How dare you imply such a thing.
Jimmy: Those are probably people he molested.
Kathy: Yh.H.
Jimmy: Allegedly, of course.
Kathy: Of course. I’m making a joke.
Jimmy: His defense is he’s — see? Me and the boy. It’s really unbelievable
Kathy: I want you to reenact the face work with me. Ask me about my surgeries?
Jimmy: All right. Have you had plastic surgery?
Kathy: I had a lift. I had a nose job. I get my Botox every three months. How can you deny that? He’s saying — that’s ridiculous.
Jimmy: He’s shaking it off.
>> Kathy why don’t they ask him why he’s white.
Jimmy: Oprah asked him.
Kathy: They’re very blotchy looking.
Jimmy: He’s not blotchy. We have to thank for him because he really
is a national treasure. I find him much more entertaining now than when he had hits out, you know? His dad has produced — his parents have produced — think of that house. They have Tito and Janet —
Kathy: Latoya. Latoya is money in the bank.
Jimmy: She is.
Kathy: Always crazy.
Jimmy: And the underestimated Rebe. And this is — screw the Osbournes. That’s the father right there. Joe Jackson. Wow, look at that. He’s a Dracula figure.
Kathy: Does Michael come clean about the dad being a freak?
Jimmy: I didn’t see the whole thing. I just saw select highlights.
Kathy: It’s time for the parents to hold their own press conference and say “we stuck stuff up their butts. Sorry.” I don’t know what they put up there. God only knows but, kids aren’t just naturally that freaky.
Jimmy: They’re not at owl. I think that is the reality show of the year right there.
Kathy: So good.
Jimmy: It really is. That was a great, great show. If you missed that show, you have to get a tape from a friend. It is absolutely spectacular. It’s better than the super bowl. Let’s look again at Joe Jackson, Michael’s father, if you could. He looks like the joker or something, right?
Kathy: Yeah. Yeah. It’s so good.
