All right.
This is something that doesn't have anything
to do with anything, but every summer,
we have a pedestrian belly flop competition.
We have people on the street take off their clothes
and jump into a pool.
But this year, we decided, why wait?
So we set the pool up, and it's time
to invite some strangers who are passing by our theater
to-- that's the pool.
Let's go out to cousin Sal who's out on Hollywood Boulevard.
There's cousin Sal. - What's happening, Jimmy?
What's going on? [APPLAUSE AND CHEERING]
JIMMY KIMMEL: Sal, the weather is good?
Oh, it's a polar vortex out, Jimmy.
But we'll get through it.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Have you been wrangling people?
Have you found-- - Yes.
JIMMY KIMMEL: --anyone walking by?
I got this guy. JIMMY KIMMEL: All right.
Hold on. Are you-- are you a cop?
I have to ask.
No, no, just going for the "Magnum PI" look.
OK. JIMMY KIMMEL: All right.
I like the look.
It's very-- it's retro.
What is your name?
James, Jimmy, whatever you like.
JIMMY KIMMEL: All right. - Don't make it confusing.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Well, obviously I like Jimmy.
All right.
JIMMY KIMMEL: What do you do for work, Jimmy?
I do security for a company called CIT,
and I also work at a vape shop. JIMMY KIMMEL: [LAUGHS]
Just staying afloat.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Really?
Well, those are Guillermo's exact qualifications.
JIMMY: Oh yeah?
Well, tell him to come on down to Florida, man.
JIMMY KIMMEL: A vape shop, huh? OK.
Yes.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Well, great.
Well, did you want to flop your belly?
You don't have much of a belly, but you make the most of it.
I'll let him borrow some. JIMMY KIMMEL: OK, yes.
All right. Let's come on through.
And let's see if we have anybody else out there, Sal.
COUSIN SAL: Come on in. JIMMY KIMMEL: OK.
Oh, hello. - Hi there.
JIMMY KIMMEL: What's your name? - Dina
JIMMY KIMMEL: Dina, where are you from?
Newport Beach.
JIMMY KIMMEL: And what do you do for work, Dina?
I'm actually a biology student at USC.
JIMMY KIMMEL: You are a--
oh, did your parents pay to get you in there?
No, they did not.
JIMMY KIMMEL: No?
Not that I know.
JIMMY KIMMEL: All right.
Well, keep in mind, we're going to do a little background
check on you after this.
Yeah.
JIMMY KIMMEL: All right.
Would you like to belly flop tonight?
I would love to belly flop. JIMMY KIMMEL: All right.
Come on through then. - Nice.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Sal, find a few more bellies--
COUSIN SAL: OK.
--and send them all through, and we'll have
a big competition.
Our competitors tonight will be judged
on style, skill, and most importantly,
water displacement.
So this is gonna be good. Oh, OK.
Good. All right.
We have more floppers. Very good, Sal.
[APPLAUSE AND CHEERING]
GUILLERMO: Oh yeah.
Look at that.
Oh yeah.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Hi, everyone.
Yes, yes.
Oh good. We got some good bellies there.
Guillermo, you going out there, too?
GUILLERMO: Yeah. I'll go with them.
All right. Very good.
All right.
It's like the least spectacular parade ever.
All right.
Let's go to our back lot, where our
13th annual pedestrian belly flop
competition is about to begin.
It is about to begin.
That is our official belly flop security guard, Guillermo.
How you feeling tonight, Guillermo?
Feeling great, Jimmy. JIMMY KIMMEL: Pretty great.
OK.
I would also like to introduce you to our judges tonight.
First up, this gentleman won an Olympic bronze medal
in 2018 for the United States.
He is a Mirrorball-winning champion
from "Dancing with the Stars."
Please say hello to Adam Rippon.
Adam, hello, Adam.
Adam, you are a professional athlete.
What is the primary difference between figure
skating and belly flopping?
Honestly, I don't really feel like there is a difference.
I'm really looking for a lot of passion.
And more than anything, I want to get [BLEEP] wet.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Nice.
All right.
Thank you, Adam.
That's the attitude we like to see.
Next up, she is the official scorekeeper on the ABC show
"To Tell the Truth," which is hosted
by her son, Anthony Anderson.
Please welcome Doris--
Mama Doris.
Hey.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Welcome. it's good to see you.
You too, Jimmy.
JIMMY KIMMEL: I'm doing well.
If you are here, who is at home watching Anthony right now?
Did you get a sitter? - Yes, I did.
JIMMY KIMMEL: You did? OK.
Are you ready for this, Doris? - Yes.
Yes.
And in the anchor position, he is the front man
for the band Sugar Ray.
He almost won this season of "Celebrity Big Brother."
Please welcome Mark McGrath.
Hello, Mark.
Hit 'em with a hey!
JIMMY KIMMEL: Mark.
Jimmy.
JIMMY KIMMEL: You famously just wanted to fly.
What do you look for in a belly flop?
Jimmy, like life, it is commitment
to what you're doing. JIMMY KIMMEL: Yes.
If I don't see full commitment,
you're gonna get a 0 from the guy, the douche in Sugar Ray.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Aw.
Well, don't be hard on yourself, Mark.
That's unfair.
But listen, I like this team of judges we have here.
GUILLERMO: Me, too.
They're taking this seriously, and I hope
our contestants will, as well.
Guillermo, bring out flopper number one.
Oh.
Oh, we almost-- [LAUGHS]
- How's it going? - Hey.
- That was nothing. - [LAUGHS]
- You didn't see that. - Oh, all right.
Neither did that camera.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Jimmy, we almost lost you before you even
got to the edge of the pool.
Shh.
JIMMY KIMMEL: [LAUGHS] Right.
All right, Jimmy.
You're looking good.
You chose the speedo, or the speedo chose you?
The speedo chose me.
JIMMY KIMMEL: [LAUGHS]
Speedo life chose me.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Are you having any regret about your decision
to do this right now?
Not yet. JIMMY KIMMEL: Not yet.
Not yet. JIMMY KIMMEL: Very good.
All right. You ready to do this?
Again, we're looking for passion.
We're looking for commitment.
And most of all, we're looking for a lot of water, all right?
You're gonna get a lot of passion.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Here we go. - Lot of passion.
JIMMY KIMMEL: And it's Jimmy.
Guillermo, count him down.
Three, two, one.
[SPLASH]
Oh.
[SHRIEKING]
JIMMY KIMMEL: All right.
Well done.
I got wet.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Let's take a look at the slow motion
instant replay so we can really examine Jimmy's work here.
And yeah.
Pretty good. Pretty good.
He got a lot of belly in there.
But let's let the judges be the judge.
Adam, what do you say?
You know what?
I think for the vape king from Florida, definitely a 9.
JIMMY KIMMEL: All right.
He got a 9.
Solid.
Doris?
I gave him a 9 for getting me wet.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Doris says a 9, too.
Yeah. JIMMY KIMMEL: And finally, Mark.
Lot of banana, lot of commitment.
I'm giving a 9.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Oh, you've earned a 27.
How do you feel, Jimmy?
That's a pretty good score.
Oh, I feel alive, Jimmy. JIMMY KIMMEL: OK.
Well, you look- - I feel alive.
JIMMY KIMMEL: --alive. All right.
Well, cousin Sal has a little something for you-- a hot dog.
Enjoy.
And we'll go-- let's go back up.
Should we go back up to the platform?
Guillermo?
Oh, yes. It is Dina.
Hello, Dina. - Hi.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Hi.
Welcome.
Thank you.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Now, Dina, you are at a disadvantage.
You seem to have no stomach whatsoever.
[LAUGHS] Yeah.
I am.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Is there anything you want to say to the haters
before we begin?
I'm gonna belly flop this thing.
JIMMY KIMMEL: OK, well, you know what?
You've gotta get a perfect score.
Well, you got a 27 to beat.
Jimmy got three 9s, so let's see what you got.
Guillermo, count her down.
Three, two, one.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Here goes Dina.
[SPLASH]
[MIXED CROWD REACTION]
[LAUGHS] All right.
Well, let's take a look at that again in slow motion here.
And see Dina-- she got a--
yeah.
She got a little above her belly there.
And really, well, let's go to the judges now.
I know you ain't giving a--
JIMMY KIMMEL: Yes, the judges.
Adam, what do you say?
I feel like my wig is getting more wet than Doris' right now.
[LAUGHS] I don't think so.
But that was good.
I'm impressed.
I give it an 8. JIMMY KIMMEL: 8.
All right. Adam says 8.
Doris?
She was cute, but I gave her that.
[LAUGHTER]
JIMMY KIMMEL: Doris, are you really wearing a wig?
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Oh, you are. OK.
I wasn't getting my hair wetter.
[LAUGHS]
JIMMY KIMMEL: Hey, Mark, I don't think there's any way
Dina can win this anyway.
But what score do you give her?
Well, commitment, fulfillment, and a fellow Trojan, and I
didn't pay to get in, either.
I'm giving you a 10.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Oh, I see.
Oh, perfect.
All right.
Right on. JIMMY KIMMEL: All right.
Let's-- Dina, what do you think?
What happened there?
I don't know.
I just went for it and--
JIMMY KIMMEL: Yeah.
Yeah.
I didn't-- I tried to eat.
I had like six cookies before I came on this.
JIMMY KIMMEL: You were a good sport, and cousin Sal's gonna--
This is a hot dog.
JIMMY KIMMEL: --get you a head start
on the belly for the next time. - OK.
JIMMY KIMMEL: There you go. Eat that hot dog.
Thank you.
JIMMY KIMMEL: It's full of delicious fat.
Are you a-- have you--
are you a-- I would imagine you don't have a lot of belly
under that shirt.
But are you a belly flopper in any way?
I was-- I was watching the belly flop
competition from backstage.
JIMMY KIMMEL: You want to check one out?
You want to be part of one?
I mean, well, this is the thing.
That girl got robbed.
Her belly flop was definitely superior to the guy.
JIMMY KIMMEL: You thought so? - Yeah, clearly.
Well, because there's a technical reason.
Her-- the guy like put his elbows and knees down first.
That doesn't hurt as much.
She went pure belly flop.
She shoulda won.
OK.
You're saying you're focused on technique, rather than results,
I think.
I'm focused on pain--
I see.
How much pain are you enduring?
That guy did-- he put his elbows down at the last minute.
That doesn't-- that doesn't hurt.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Interesting. Interesting.
But you are not a licensed belly flop judge like--
That's true. That's true.
--Adam is, like Doris is, like Mark is.
You know? - Can I judge one, though?
- Yeah, sure. - OK.
Let's go. Let's go out there right now.
This is not gonna be any-- JIMMY KIMMEL: All right.
OK. Here we go.
Now, this is-- this is great.
What's your name?
Keep your elbows up!
Kerry King.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Kerry King.
Where you from, Kerry?
Lake Providence, Louisiana.
JIMMY KIMMEL: All right.
Very good.
So you've probably jumped in the swamps and stuff, right?
JOSEPH: [LAUGHS]
Shoot 'em, Elizabeth.
[LAUGHTER]
Now, Joseph Gordon-Levitt has some advice for you.
I don't know if you heard his advice, but--
I want a pure belly flop.
None of this elbows down, knees down like the mustached guy.
I got the belly for it.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Yeah.
I knew this baby was gonna come in handy.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Yeah. All right.
All right.
Are you ready to do this? - I'm ready.
JIMMY KIMMEL: All right.
Guillermo, count him down.
Three, two, one.
JIMMY KIMMEL: And--
[SPLASH]
[APPLAUSE AND CHEERING]
That was-- yeah.
That's the way.
That's the deal right there.
[LAUGHS]
[APPLAUSE AND CHEERING]
Well, let's see what our judges think.
That's-- that was a belly flop.
Look at, dude! Look at that!
JIMMY KIMMEL: Well, let's look at that again in slow motion,
as we have been known to do.
And here it go--
OK. JOSEPH: See?
JIMMY KIMMEL: Yes. You're right.
JOSEPH: He didn't put his elbows down.
JIMMY KIMMEL: You're right. He took--
JOSEPH: That's a pure belly flop.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Yeah, he took it full-on.
Judges, what do you say?
Adam?
You know what?
[LAUGHTER]
JIMMY KIMMEL: Adam's so--
They make 'em dense in Louisiana.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Uh-huh.
That's right. - 10.
JIMMY KIMMEL: That's on the license plate.
JOSEPH: Yes. Yes.
JIMMY KIMMEL: OK, Adam gives him a 10.
Doris?
I like him.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Uh-oh.
And I like the belly flop.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Doris, this is not a dating show.
Yes, it is.
And--
JOSEPH: Yes.
JIMMY KIMMEL: --finally Mark.
Mark, what do you say?
Jimmy, that man was born to flop.
And Joseph, thank you for recognizing technique.
That man gets a 10 from me.
JOSEPH: Yes.
First of all, I'd like to thank my mama for blessing me
with all his beauty.
[LAUGHTER]
JIMMY KIMMEL: Yes, you get two hot dogs.
Oh, I got all the hot dogs. JIMMY KIMMEL: There you go.
All right.
[LAUGHTER]
That's like a Nathan's.
Well, you're right. You're right.
Well done.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Oh, wow.
Look at that.
Kerry is the champion.
Kerry is the king of the belly flop competition.
