You may have noticed on your way into the theater today,
there's a lot of frenzied--
a lot of excitement outside.
Kids have been camped out in line for days
because the Korean band BTS is here.
[AUDIENCE SCREAMING]
Exciting.
They are here-- look at this line.
They're in town for the American Music Awards on Sunday
and they're going to play music on our outdoor stage.
BTS is very, very popular, and we want
to have some fun with that.
So we went to the line outside and we
found moms who are waiting in line with their daughters.
There are a lot of moms out there.
I don't know what we made up.
We said, come inside, we want to know
what it's like to be the mother of a super fan of BTS.
So anyway, we were going to send the band
outside to the audience, but the police and the fire department
and our lawyers said at least 100 people
would be killed if we did that.
They're very enthusiastic fans.
So we brought the moms inside and introduced
them to the boys in BTS and--
[AUDIENCE GASPS]
[EVERYONE LAUGHS]
If you think you're mad, wait until you find
out how mad the daughters were.
COUSIN SAL: We're talking to moms whose kids are super fans.
Can we talk to you for a second? - Yes.
COUSIN SAL: Great.
Can we borrow her for just a couple minutes?
Come with us. [GIRLS CHEERING]
We're talking to moms of superfans of the day.
Can we talk to you for a minute? - Yeah.
COUSIN SAL: Here, come with us.
Want to talk to you.
[PHONE RINGING]
It's your mom.
It's your moms.
Hi.
COUSIN SAL: Can you say hi to your moms?
Hi mom.
Where are you?
OK.
Whoa!
[GIRLS SCREAMING]
Oh my god.
Hey!
How are you doing?
[GIRLS SCREAMING]
Sucks to be you.
[INAUDIBLE]
[GIRLS SCREAMING]
So there you go.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
Oh there they are.
Hi.
So what happened?
Your moms got to see BTS and then you guys didn't?
Yeah.
JIMMY KIMMEL: How are you feeling right now?
Describe your emotions if you could.
A little jealous.
JIMMY KIMMEL: A little bit jealous?
Did you ask your mom what happened?
Yeah. JIMMY KIMMEL: Yeah?
And are you smelling her to see if they rubbed any BTS--
[EVERYONE LAUGHING]
Are you excited that your moms met BTS?
Or would you rather they had never met BTS at all?
No, I'm really happy.
JIMMY KIMMEL: You were happy for her?
Yeah, happy.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Did she tell you all about it?
- Yeah she did. - Yeah?
And what was your reaction overall?
Did you like them?
Yes.
Very nice.
I'm very excited, very nervous, and very lucky
to be the one.
Yeah.
I will say that you in a way, if you think about it,
you're almost as lucky as your daughter is
unlucky for not meeting them.
[EVERYONE LAUGHING]
Well, it's very exciting for some of you.
Thanks to BTS.
They will be on the American Music Awards on Sunday night,
and you can see them on our show November 29th.
