[ cheers and applause ] this is a crazy story. i'm sure most of you know. two prisoners recently escaped from a maximum security prison in upstate new york and police have been looking everywhere for them. they still haven't found them. so, today officials released sketches of what the two men might look like after ten days of being on the run. [ light laughter ] this is real. take a look. there it is. they might look like that after living in the woods, or something. i don't know what they're thinking. >> steve: shaved. >> jimmy: well groomed. yeah, they brought a groomer with them. whatever they brought. >> steve: got a flowbee. >> jimmy: but they're saying who knows what lengths the two are going to go to in order to disguise themselves. some even speculate plastic surgery could be involved. so take a look at the projection of what they might look like after a year on the run. [ laughter ] now that's definitely something wrong there. they definitely had some work done. what's even crazier is the

credit for this one. take credit for this. now it's 'we,' right? interesting." of course, the other big story is that donald trump announced -- [ cheers ] that he's running for president. and during his speech he told the crowd that if elected he would be the greatest jobs president that god ever created. then god was like, "hey, don't drag me into this publicity stunt. that's your thing." [ laughter and applause ] "celebrity apprentice" comes on. yeah, i know what you do. and did you see -- after the interview, after the announcement, he did an interview and he told abc news that if he had oprah as his running mate, he could easily win.

we love you. >> it's a fantasy in one sense, because she plays a landscape gardener who gets hired by andre linotre who really lived to design one of the fountains at the garden of versailles. that's the background. really it's a love story between her. because they didn't have to pay me, i played louis xiv. >> jimmy: that is not true. >> it is true. >> jimmy: no it is not true. you directed the film and you cast yourself as the king of france. [ laughter and applause ] that is exactly what happened. come on! that is what i would do if i directed it. i am the king, baby! definitely. i got who's in it. yeah, we don't have to do any auditions, don't worry about it. of course they have to pay you, you're the king. >> none of you were wearing that costume, and wanted to go to the bathroom. >> jimmy: no, no, no. but it is a beautiful film. also stanley tucci is in it as well. it is called "a little chaos." we have a clip. here's alan rickman with kate winslet in "a little chaos." take a look at this. >> time has come, madame, for us both to face down our past

and live in the present. write a letter from one gardener to another, shall we say in return for seeds sewn that will bring you to the court where my eye will always be on you. i shall not forget our day in the garden, madame.
