The Jimmy Kimmel Live! host, 54, gave fans on Instagram an inside look at how his Thanksgiving is going so far… and it appears things got a little too hot for him to handle.
“Happy thanksgiving everyone. try not to burn your hair and eyebrow off lighting the oven!” the talk show host and father of four captioned a photo of himself squinting at the camera, with chunks of black ash scattered across his eyebrows, arm and hairline under his baseball cap.
Though he didn’t elaborate any further, it seems the star had a mishap in his outdoor kitchen, as the photo appears to be taken in front of a brick oven.
Several of Kimmel’s famous friends commented on the hilarious post, like DJ Khaled, who wrote, “Take it easy my brother love and blessings to you and your family, happy holidays.”
“Yep,” Kimmel replied to his daughter, whom he shares with ex-wife Gina Kimmel. “It’s now a holiday tradition.”
Indeed, this is not the first time the comedian has burned a bunch of his body hair while cooking. Last November, Kimmel went on the Ellen Degeneres Show and explained a scary incident that happened on the Fourth of July, during which he caused a “massive explosion” to spew from his barbeque.
“I haven’t told anybody about this but on July 4th I did a very stupid thing,” he explained on the episode. “I turned the gas on on the grill and then I went for a little walk to look for matches. And then when I came back I thought, ‘Hmm, I should probably open the lid and air this thing out, maybe turn it off and start over again.'”
He continued: “And then I thought, ‘No, I’m not going to do that. What I’ll do is I’ll light a piece of paper on fire, then throw it into the grill.’ I did that, and there was a massive explosion in my face. I burned my beard off and my eyebrow off and my eyelashes off.”
Kimmel added that everyone told him he was lucky nothing worse happened, “But it didn’t feel like a lucky stroke when it happened, that’s for sure,” he joked. He also added that, prior to the Fourth of July, he also once lit his tie on fire while starting up his barbeque.
In addition to his daughter Katie, Kimmel has three other children: son Kevin, 28, whom he also shares with his ex Gina, and daughter Jane, 7, and son William, 4, whom he shares with his wife, Molly McNearney.

Having taught high school Chemistry for 20 years, Kimmel reminds me of some of my goofy stundens that were dangerous with a Bunsen Burner.
lol couldn’t happen to a better person
You mean he can’t afford a decent stove that he doesn’t have to light?
The leftist elitist anti-American puke should have poured a can of gas over his head before he started the turkey that would be worthy news
That would be a great Christmas gift to the rest of us.
Yup…. Reduce his head to a cinder for all of the Trump bashing he did on the air…
Is anyone really surprised?
Lets all just start a rumor that he was freebasing, and see if the Left’s ‘we said it, so it’s true’ thing works for the Right too.
It’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt…
AND THEN IT’S HILARIOUS!!!!
C’mon jimbo ….. make us really laugh…. capture these magical moments on video and share with us!!!
stupid is stupid
ROFL!!! It’s common knowledge that Kimmel isn’t the brightest bulb around. He really proved it here.
Wsh the gods had done a little more thorough job with JK, or as the inimitable Maxwell Smart said, “ missed it by that much’!
Attention getting idiot!
Maybe his tongue next time.
He is an IDIOT on stage,he is an idiot around the bbq stove.
