We're back with Jimmy Kimmel, and so you've
written and illustrated it.
It says there, right there, "Jimmy Kimmel, The Serious
Goose."
And first of all, I didn't--
you are an excellent drawer.
Oh, thank you.
I've been drawing since I was a boy,
and I did the lettering as well, which really was
the hardest part of the book.
I used to think children's books were easy.
I was like, oh, this is dumb.
This is easy.
Anybody could do this.
I was wrong.
Well, it's a very popular book because I saw
that your daughter endorses it.
Jane endorses it.
My daughter did endorse it.
There's a mirror in there.
Yeah, that's the great thing.
It's like, look everybody, Ellen's in the book.
[LAUGHTER]
So you look in the mirror, and you
try to turn the serious goose into a silly goose--
or the kids do-- and they have to make funny faces
and do silly things.
And I don't want to spoil it, but at the end, guess what.
It turns into a silly goose.
Oh, no, does it?
Yeah, it does.
That's fantastic.
Thank you.
And you did that because you--
I did this because I am donating all the money
I make to Children's Hospital here
in Los Angeles and children's hospitals across the country.
[APPLAUSE]
And again, I want to thank you and your audience
for donating a couple of million dollars to Children's Hospital
in my son Billy's name.
And he's doing great, and we're very happy with everything
they've done.
He really is adorable.
He is doing great.
He is a cute kid.
Yeah.
Oh, there he is.
Yeah, there he is at Easter time.
[APPLAUSE]
[CHUCKLES]
I mean, what a scary thing to have happen and to go through,
and it's so great to see.
And there's Jane.
There's your daughter.
Now Billy talks about T.rex nonstop.
He likes to run around the house half naked waist-down.
He's a funny kid.
All right, so you brought--
because all the money, as you say,
is going to children's hospitals.
So tell me what we're doing now.
So I made a couple of original drawings of someone
who's very special to you.
In fact, we've seen him a couple of times already today.
And I think this is something that we could potentially
auction off.
And so this is how it works.
So that's Serious Andy, all right?
You know Andy.
And this is Silly Andy.
So you could see, Serious Andy and Silly Andy,
they're not really different at all.
[LAUGHTER]
But you get the idea.
You get the gist of it.
That's fantastic.
And you really did that--
I drew these in my office today, on the way over.
All right, so we are going to auction these off.
Let's do it.
All right, so we're going to auction this off.
All right, let's auction it off.
What are we going to start the bidding on?
A million dollars, who has a million dollars?
All right, a million dollars, who?
Anybody want to start the bidding?
There's Silly Andy, and there's Serious Andy.
All right.
All right, let's start the bidding at $500.
$500.
Oh, very good, wow.
For Children's Hospital, $500.
$700 for Children's Hospital, $700 for Children's Hospital,
$700.
We have two ladies right here. $800, yes?
$800.
All right.
This is the cheap side of the audience.
Yes.
[LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE]
It's like basically everyone but these two ladies.
[LAUGHS]
This row-- hey, how about this?
I don't know if they'd be interested, $900 anyone?
$900?
$1,000.
OK.
I don't want to really break the bank on these ladies.
But what if we give you each one of these for $1,000?
Is that--
Sure.
--acceptable?
Then you have to decide who wants Silly
and who wants Serious?
All right.
All right!
[BAM]
Sold to the ladies for $2,000--
[CHEERS, APPLAUSE]
$2,000.
--to Children's Hospital.
[LAUGHS]
All right.
What else should we sell?
Hold on.
Let's sell the flowers.
[LAUGHTER]
Andy just said he's matching it, so $2,000 from Andy
for Children's Hospital.
All right!
Thank you, Andy.
[CHEERS, APPLAUSE]
[CHUCKLES]
All right.
Jimmy's book is called The Serious Goose.
It's available today everywhere books are sold,
and you're all going home with a copy.
Jimmy you'll be back a little later in the show.
[CHEERING]
