Talking Hat Appears on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Wearing Axl Rose

Camille Dodero · 10/25/12 01:35PM

It only took W. Axl Rose 20 years to show up for last night's live televised interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live, which seems about right after the decade the Guns N' Roses lizard required to record Chinese Democracy. Axl's extreme tardiness was apparently the only one of his million idiosyncrasies Kimmel was allowed to mention—and it became a recurring punchline—there was no talk of Slash or the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame or Lana Del Rey or where Our Man Rose dwindled away those missing years. Instead, they talked about Axl's political leanings ("Obama"), his stint managing a Tower Records, and how he's medicating a recent cold ("I'm on a bunch of different things—legal, illegal").

Zooey Deschanel stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live tonight and pushed the very limits of adorkability. There was a story about her "six months years old" nephew, some tales from her childhood and, of course, a ghost hunt. There may have been more but my slingbox couldn't handle it.

Jimmy Kimmel went on fellow comic Marc Maron's podcast-slash-psychotherapy-couch WTF to talk about his unusual career path. But he couldn't resist taking his famously neurotic host on a detour into some of his family issues, including the "very sadistic" mom who used to make him pay her begging homage and who pretended she was dead to make him cry.

Jason Sudeikis Is Not a Belieber

Back in February—when he wasn't cozying up courtside to Rihanna—Justin Bieber participated in the NBA's Celebrity All-Star Game. It seems like SNL's Jason Sudeikis wasn't impressed with Bieber's skills considering he had this to say about his teen opponent on tonight's Jimmy Kimmel Live!: "I didn't even know it was him for the first two quarters, I thought it was a Make-A-Wish situation."

Yesterday, Gary Busey was fired on The Celebrity Apprentice. But fear not, dedicated fans, for he returned to TV screens tonight on Jimmy Kimmel Live! And you know what? His interview with Kimmel—which ranged from a discussion of body language, to "Buseyisms," to Meatloaf-bashing—was just as entertaining as Busey was in The Donald's boardroom.
