Jelly Roll came with the receipts on night two of his stint guest-hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday night (July 17). In his monologue, the “I Am Not Okay” singer gave thanks for the opportunity and had a bit of fun by debuting his new “single,” a song he said was comprised of hateful comments about him from the internet.
“Can I sing a song?/ I said, can I sing a song?/ About these hatin’ a– b–ches on the internet,” he crooned, assuring the studio audience that all the disses were real. “Being forced to listen to Jelly Roll against my will and it sucks,” he growled, followed by, “I used to hate Jelly Roll. I still do,” “Bro! It’s way too Go–amn early to be listening to Jelly Roll,” “Bro Jelly Roll sucks so much butt,” “Jelly Roll is an embarrassment to society,” “Jelly Roll looks like a meth addict grabbed a microphone” and the capper, “Jelly’s just Lizzo for white people.”
Frankly, he concluded, you can clown him all you want because, as he confirmed, “I don’t give a f–k.”
Once again showing off his smooth, comfortable hosting skills, Jelly joked that he had “single-handedly turned Jimmy Kimmel Live! into the most white trash show on television. I think we can all agree that I have truly over-delivered for my community.” His prime example was the iconic night one hosting bit where he dramatically chokeslammed YouTuber-turned-wrestler Logan Paul into a break-away host desk in a promotion for their upcoming WWE SummerSlam tag team showdown.
The prodigiously inked singer who has been on a well-documented weight loss journey also celebrated National Tattoo Day on Thursday’s show, joking that his favorite ink — a teardrop on his face — was to commemorate “the first time I killed an entire box of donuts.”
He then played a game called “Do You Have a Bad Tattoo,” heading out to Hollywood Blvd. to uncover some truly terrible images. Among them was one of a man’s child floating on a “sperm cloud,” another on the inside of a man’s lip that read “poop” and the pièce de résistance: a man with what he described as a “meth tattoo,” drawn, he said, by someone who is “super high on meth… they usually put meth inside of the ink and proceed to tattoo you with it, so you might get high.”
The episode also featured comedian/actor, and Jelly friend Kevin James strumming a guitar and hyping up a new unnamed country-themed movie he’s filming with the singer after the Paul Blart: Mall Cop star was recently spotted making surprise appearances at recent shows by Jelly, Nate Smith and Thomas Rhett. NASCAR driver Joey Logano also dropped by along with the All-American Rejects.
