Jimmy Kimmel is dishing on the new season of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire,” which will feature a star-studded lineup of guests competing to donate their winnings to charity.
“Extra’s” Paul Costabile spoke with Jimmy, who revealed his dream contestant!
Kimmel commented, “Boy, wound’t it be fun to put Donald Trump in that hot seat, see how much that genius knows?”
He quipped, “I would say, ‘Please, have a seat. I would love to — You know what? Any time you spend on a game show is another hour you’re not being president, so I’m in support of that.'”
Trump aside, Jimmy emphasized, “I admire anybody that does sit down and come on the show because they’re really risking their reputation.”
Jimmy’s long-running faux feud with Matt Damon is also spilling over to the game show, after “Jeopardy!” host Ken Jennings brought Matt along!
Kimmel joked about Damon, while referencing a “Harry Potter” character, “You don’t have to keep saying his name, it’s like Voldemort.”
Trolling Matt further, Jimmy commented, “[Ken] brought somebody with him, who was not invited on the show, was not welcome on the show, who showed up, who has been trying to get on my show for many years and honestly embarrassed himself, embarrassed his family, and should be ashamed of what he did. He’s not a nice person. He’s sneaky and I’m pretty sure he cheated.”
Kimmel also dished on recently becoming a grandpa!
When asked if he had a particular name that he wants to go by, Jimmy answered, “I’m partial to just grandpa. I’m okay with that. A lot of people get weird about like, ‘I don’t want to be seen as old or whatever.’ I’m old. I’m a grandfather and I’m going with it.”
“Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” premieres July 23 on ABC and is streaming on Hulu.
