What's up guys? Nikki Novak here for Young Hollywood on the newly refurbished Jimmy Kimmel Live set. We are about to reel in Jimmy Kimmel. Great to see you. Congratulations. Thank you first of all for having us on your show prior. That's so sweet of you.
Oh, my my pleasure. Yes. It's it was it's kind of a big white elephant in the room because we did try to steal from you.
Yeah, why would you do that? I mean, do you go around stealing things from people? The host is a very attractive woman named Nikki Novak. And maybe you can explain to us what was going on here. Come on back here. We have some tequila. Oh, here's the remote for the TV. You don't have to do that sweetie. I'll do it for you. It's it's not right. We typically do I actually really like your tie. I'd love to steal that.
You what would you do with it? It's oh, you are wearing a tie.
I'm dressed up like you. I dressed up in in the spirit of things. So the show is moving to 11:35. We're what are you typically doing? What's happening in the Kimmel household at 11:35 on any given night. Are you T-voing? Are you watching are you going to be watching yourself?
You know, usually I have my head in the refrigerator like a bear. And I'm rooting around looking for something to eat and uh I'll usually just empty a jar of peanut butter with a spoon.
Is that per favorite? Is anything off limits or is it sort of a free for all?
I try to be careful about what I what I allow in my house so that I don't because I will eat anything and everything and this is a dangerous time because the gift baskets come in and it's like, oh, caramel corn. I think I'll eat that.
So you're not able to say no.
Uh yeah, no, I have trouble with no.
So Jennifer Aniston first guest has she not been a big enough celebrity to have on the show in the past?
We've asked her many times. I wasn't a big enough celebrity in the past. So the 25 minutes made a difference for her.
I guess so. Yeah, I guess so. So I know you interviewed Letterman back in Brooklyn a few months ago. Yes. And I know you're a huge fan of his and you sort of put out there that you wanted to go fly fishing with him. Has that date happened yet?
No, I have a feeling that's never going to happen. I think that would wind up being uh very uncomfortable for him and probably for me too.
Why? Why for both of you?
Well, you know, a forced uh, you know, you don't really want to have to ask somebody to do something on television, but, you know, I also wouldn't ask him off the air, so I don't maybe one day in our old age, it will be a fun thing to do.
Well, we would love to go fly fishing with you at Young Hollywood. So if he says no to you. Let me see how you throw a fly. Let me see your casting motion.
All right, you definitely can't come. What is that regular fishing? That was just bad.
Oh, we can see yours. We can see yours. Here's how it goes, ready? It's as simple as that. Try again. You're getting better. You're getting closer, but there's a little too much wrist action. We'll work on it. Take some lessons and a little a little less wrist action. Yes, exactly. So I know back when you were 18, you had a David Letterman license plate. What does your license plate say now?
It's just a random series of letters and numbers.
Is it obnoxious at this point to sort of have?
Yeah, I think that's that's you don't want that necessarily. I do see people driving around town and they'll be like TV guy, you know, and that's that's really kind of my nightmare. And it's usually the guy that's not on TV that says that.
Yeah. It's the guy that would like to be on TV that becomes TV guy. So you've refurbished the studio. Major major changes. Have you refurbished Guillermo? Have you overhauled Guillermo?
We polished his mustache, but otherwise he's the same. I'm excited to see him. I haven't seen him for a couple of weeks and usually he gains a lot of weight over the holidays. So the fatter he is, the cuter he is and I like it that way.
Give him lots of hugs. Cause we gave him lots of hugs when he came into our.
I like to pinch his earlobes. They're very fat little earlobes. They're really fun to squeeze. And they're soft and cushiony. They're the softest, cushiest earlobes you could ever imagine.
What guest in the past has sort of shocked you the most? I'm sure things happen in the green room sort of off set. You don't have to name names, but has has there been anything really shocking or anything really like who's been sort of like the wildest guest?
Oh, there, you know, a lot of times you come in and uh the uh there's I mean there's, you know, there's all sorts of shenanigans going on and it's funny because there a lot a lot of times like if you have like a good-looking male guest, uh you you get a lot of women who really I don't know if they think that they're going to be pulled out of the audience to have sex with that person or what.
They're hoping.
Yeah, or what what is going through their heads, but it's funny they'll all come dressed up and I look at the audience and go, what's going on here? And they're like, oh, Justin Timber like's on the show. Oh, okay, well, that makes sense.
Are they going to do it for you now that you're on 11:35?
I doubt it. Yeah, it seems very unlikely.
