You won’t believe how calm the host was when riding atop Dragon.
Jimmy Kimmel’s road to the Emmys was a tough one. First he found himself in the backseat of OJ Simpson’s bronco car during a car chase with the police, a nod to FX’s hugely successful and acclaimed miniseries The People vs O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story. He then joined the Modern Family cast in the car and later joined James Corden for a Carpool Karaoke session. (Cue Wham’s Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go, including a brief tribute to the classic 1985 video!)
Veep’s Julia Louis-Dreyfus (as Selina Meyer) refused to give him a lift and, in the bit’s most jaw-dropping cameo, previous GOP presidential hopeful Jeb Bush played a chauffeur.
“I’m in between jobs right now. You know you can make $12 an hour driving for Uber?” Bush said. “Here's what I know. If you run a positive campaign, the voters ultimately will make the right choice.”
After being denied the presidential ride, Jimmy made a quick prayer to the Goddess of Television, Oprah, to get him to the Emmys on time. His prayer was answered when Daenerys Stormborn arrived on her dragon, Drogon.
