Eric Andre’s brand of comedy has reached new levels as he recently pranked unsuspecting Beyoncé fans during a segment on Thursday (March 5) night’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!. The future Rapper Ninja Warrior host took his talents to speak with Kimmel about his upcoming prank movie, Bad Trip which hits theaters, April 24. But it wouldn’t have been a quality Eric Andre late-night sighting if he didn’t participate in some pranks of his own utilizing the Jimmy Kimmel Live! production team.

The high-energy comedian discussed Tiffany Haddish’s participation in the upcoming film before making an impromptu coronavirus joke, stating:

“I’m actually Patient Zero. I gave the coronavirus to the entire country. And Zika and H1N1. Let’s not forget about all the great diseases!”

The Lion King voice actor also revealed that during the filming of the movie a knife was pulled on him and Lil Rel Howery. At about the 2:55 second mark, Andre details how an Atlanta barber brandished a knife on him and the Chicago-bred comedian after they entered his barbershop attached at the genitals a Chinese finger trap. Fortunately, both parties were able to escape the scene without being harmed. 

At the seven-minute mark, Kimmel debuted the prank segment featuring Eric Andre dressed as Beyoncé, where he provided himself with the moniker “BeAndre.” The sequence entitled Beyoncé or BeAndré? featured multiple fans of the Grammy Award-winning songstress delivering heartfelt messages to her in a backstage production room. What they didn’t know was that they were going to be surprised by a disguised Eric Andre who concealed his identity only using his hands, dressed in a gown and lace front wig.  

Eric’s prank was able to bring some of the unsuspecting fans to tears as they thought they were really meeting their idol. Unfortunately, while they were ultimately disappointed that he wasn’t Beyoncé, Andre provided the fans with some must-watch entertainment, smashing a vase to smithereens and dropping a box of “bees.”

The Weeknd shared a teaser for a short film titled After Hours, announcing that it will be dropping today. It appears as though the film, which bears the same name as The Weeknd’s upcoming album dropping on March 20th, will follow his journey over the past few months as he navigates his current musical revival. The brief trailer features shots of The Weeknd donning his signature “After Hours” era outfit while one of the album’s singles, “Blinding Lights,” plays sporadically.

One of the clips near the end of the teaser shows Jimmy Kimmel shaking The Weeknd’s hand following his performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! back in January. “That was great, thank you so much,” Jimmy says to him. “The Weeknd, everybody!” he exclaims to the crowd. Despite the seemingly positive energy of the post-performance moment, the trailer cuts to a close-up shot of The Weeknd looking concerned and in shock, setting the tone for what’s sure to be a wild ride of a film.

The superstar has been a very busy man since kicking off his current era, and he’s showing no signs of stopping. The After Hours album will drop in just a few weeks following the release of the short film today, and to support the project, The Weeknd has announced that he’ll be hitting the road. He’ll kick off the tour on June 11th in Vancouver, traveling around Canada and the United States for a few months. After a quick break in September, the After Hours tour will pick up again on October 11th in London, after which The Weeknd will make several stops around the UK and Europe. He’s definitely got a lot to look forward to, and, luckily, so do we.

Mark Wahlberg appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Thursday promoting his Netflix movie “Spenser Confidential” and gave his take on Tom Brady’s NFL future.

“If Tom goes somewhere else, I’ll support him. He’s given us so much joy in six Super Bowls. I can root for him,” Wahlberg told Kimmel.

“I think he has an idea of what he wants to do, and I want him to do what’s best for him and his family. He’s brought us so much joy. I think hopefully the Patriots will be smart enough to pay him. I think if not, the Raiders are obviously an option,” said Wahlberg. “He’s gonna want to go somewhere where he can win.”

Wahlberg worked with Brady on his film Ted 2, where Brady made a cameo as himself during the movie.

Kimmel asks whether Brady likes him or Matt Damon more, to which Wahlberg responds, “Me. I actually put him in a movie. We immortalized him in Ted 2.”

Recent reports from ESPN’s Jeff Darlington suggest Brady is likely to leave New England: “Tom Brady is currently operating under the belief that he will enter free agency to play somewhere other than New England next season,” he said.

With Super Bowl LIV just a few days away, that means Jimmy Kimmel is back with another NFL edition of his hilarious segment “Mean Tweets,” where NFL players read disrespectful tweets about themselves.

This time around, Jimmy has called on some superstar names to participate, including Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Joey Bosa, and others. Brady kicks things off reading about being a crybaby and having a “butthole chin,” while Mahomes gets made fun of for his haircut.

“Hi I’m Tom Brady. Im a crybaby and I have a butthole in my chin,” Brady reads. Meanwhile Mahomes reads, “I imagine Patrick Mahomes barber is a superhero who has to run and save the world every time he gets half way through Mahomes hair cut.”

Later, Todd Gurley joined in on the fun, and was called a “fucking snowflake loser bitch,” before his teammate Jared Goff gets ripped on for throwing the ball like shit. “Jared Goff throws a football like he got a shit in his pants,” his tweet read.

Check out all that and more in the hilarious, NSFW-segment (below). Look for other mean tweets read by Michael Irvin, Terry Bradshaw and others.

Lakeith Stanfield has blossomed into one of Hollywood’s premier and most sought-after talents over the past half-decade. His lead performance in the “Teddy Perkins” episode of Atlanta was an unforgettable experience and he proved he has the ability to carry an entire film with his performance in Sorry To Bother You (2018). Now, with some major film credits under his belt in the form of Uncut Gems, The Knives Out, and The Photograph, the actor/rapper believes that he has the acting chops to embody Batman’s archnemesis, The Joker.

During a recent sit down with late-night television legend, Jimmy Kimmel, in promotion of his upcoming film, The Photograph, starring Issa Rae, Lakeith Stanfield spoke on his experience of ditching acting school for modeling school, his experience working with Adam Sandler and Kevin Garnett on their film Uncut Gems, love, and more. However, things got really interesting when he revealed that we would be interested in playing his own version of the Joker after praising Joaquin Phoenix‘s performance in, Joker (2019). 

When asked about showing up to the premiere of Joker dressed as the DC Comic villain, the Atlanta actor had this to say:

“I just like dressing up and I also love the Joker, so there you go. You got both things.”

Kimmel then asked if Stanfield would be up for the challenge to play the popular villain stating:

“I’d love to play the Joker. That’d be beautiful.” Stanfield continued revealing he makes his home movies proclaiming, “That makes me go ‘Wait till they see me do it.’ Also, I make my own Joker movies at home with my own personal camera. All you gotta do is dress up and make your own. Why not? I still had the makeup on so I was like, ‘Let me just keep going with it.'”

As a creative introvert, Lakeith Stanfield is one of the greatest runs in recent entertainment history. Check out Lakeith’s interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live! below and check out The Photograph starring Lakeith Stanfield and Issa Rae in theaters this Valentine’s Day, Feb. 14. 

To promote her new memoir Open Book, Jessica Simpson made her way by the Jimmy Kimmel stage this week and spoke about some of the topics in the book. One particular part in which Jess decided to talk about was an old kiss with Justin Timberlake, which she says was part of a bet between him and Ryan Gosling however.

“After divorce and he was out of a relationship, he was, like, over at my house, we shared a nostalgic kiss, but I thought, ‘Oh, this is interesting,'” she recalled. “And he took his phone out and started typing. And I was like, ‘Okay, I hope that’s not, like, another girl. Like, did I, like, stick my tongue out too much or, you know?’” she laughs.

She continues saying that Justin had a bet with Ryan Gosling from years ago on the Mickey Mouse club about who could kiss Jessica first, and he was apparently telling Gosling he won.

“But apparently him and Ryan Gosling had a bet on who would kiss me first when they were 12-years-old,” she continued. “And so, he texted Ryan and said he won the bet. And I was like, ‘Oh, okay. Um…So we don’t kiss again. That’s done.’”

Despite the nostalgic kiss with Timberlake, Jessica says she had more of a crush on Ryan Gosling than JT. “Ryan was the one that I was, like…when I was 12, I was, like, ‘This guy is so cool and he’s from Canada,” she dished. “I don’t know where that is on the map, but I really think that that’s amazing.’ And there was something so cute about him. But Justin won the bet.”

After recently finding out that her dad is an Eritrean Jew, famed comedienne Tiffany Haddish took the liberty to completely embrace the religion of her patriarch as any newfound Jew would: have a Bat Mitzvah! She went a step further though and had herself a "Black Mitzvah," which she was more than happy to break down during her most recent visit to Jimmy Kimmel Live! yesterday night (Jan 6).

Last night was one of the best days of my life. I had so much fun. Thank you to everyone that came out to support one of my Dreams. Thank you @netflixisajoke for being a great partner and helping to my dream come true. #SHEREADY

A post shared by Tiffany Haddish (@tiffanyhaddish) on Dec 4, 2019 at 12:15pm PST

While the entire night looked pretty lit to say the least by the looks of her Instagram post on the night of (seen above), there was one special moment that stood out for her, and of course it involves none other than Beyoncé — well, more like Beyoncé's mom, Tina Knowles-Lawson, but still. While speaking with Kimmel on the subject of gift-giving, Tiffany said, "Beyoncé’s mom gave me the most beautiful Bible. Ms. Tina gave me the most beautiful Bible with this cross on it and everything, and I was like, is she trying to say, ‘Hey! You know you black, right?’"

Of course, many of you might be wondering how a person who birthed the biggest pop star in the world at the moment could be so off in terms of the religions, but the Bible did come with a diamond-clad crucifix so we guess it just balances out overall. Tiffany did make light of the gift from Ms. Tina, joking stating, "I read from that and the Torah everyday. I read from both. They start out the same." If it works for you, it works for us, too!
