Jimmy Kimmel Shares Why He Giggled At Fergie’s National Anthem

Jimmy Kimmel couldn’t escape the laughter on his face when Fergie took the stage and sang the national anthem at the NBC All-Star Game.

“I feel like I need to address something that happened Sunday night at the NBA All-Star Game,” he said on his show. “Somehow, I became a part of a national anthem fiasco. Fergie, the singer from the Black Eyed Peas, gave an unusually sultry version of our National Anthem. And I wound up in the middle of it. I just want to say, the reason I was smiling is because I love the national anthem so much. That’s the face I make when I really love a song.”

“That was some arrangement though,” he said, joking, “In hindsight, trying to work in the words ‘my humps my humps, my lovely lady lumps’ may have been a mistake.”
