Rosie O’Donnell is filling in for Jimmy Kimmel, who has gone fishing for the summer. However, his partner, Guillermo Rodriguez, is still working on that show.
Actually, not only does he have a night job on Jimmy Kimmel Live, but he is also working a day job on Dancing with the Stars.
Now that pregnant Witney Carson has revealed she is dancing with him this season, the two can start rehearsing for the competition.
Yesterday, everyone’s favorite (and only) late night sidekick talked to O’Donnell about how tiring rehearsing has been for him. He even showed off some of what he has learned.
He made it seem like he was excited for the opportunity. However, what he told the producers of JKL was a different story. He sent them a message telling them he wished for another pandemic.
What? Why? “So they can close everything from September and October, so that they can cancel Dancing with the Stars,” he said. “I don’t want anybody to get sick. I just want to close everything so no competition.”
At least he’s honest. If he thinks it is bad now, wait until the show starts filming and he has to learn a dance in a week, instead of a month.
He already has my vote to keep him on as long as possible, and I know I am not the only one. He got several celebrities who were at D23 this weekend to sign a contract that they would do the same.
Watch the video all the way through to hear him do his best Boston accent with Denis Leary.
