Jimmy Kimmel has lately noticeable he’s been rehearsing his jokes for the Oscars 2024 with a distinct visitor, Messi, the canine from Anatomy of a Fall.
In a rib-tickling video posted to Instagram on Sunday, Kimmel requested Messi, “What do you think of this? Casting is a huge part of any film. Without casting directors, how on Earth would Bradley Cooper have thought to cast Bradley Cooper as Leonard Bernstein in Maestro?”
When Messi didn’t display any response, Kimmel stated, “Okay, let me try another one: Casting is a delicate art. When you get it right, actors disappear into their roles. When you get it wrong, your audience asks questions like, ‘Why do all the teenagers in Grease look like they’ve got kids and a reverse mortgage?’”
Messi regarded unimpressed with this one as neatly, then which the Oscars host discussed, “Okay, maybe this one you’ll like: If you think the show feels overly drawn out to you, imagine how Messi feels right now. In dog years, this show is five and a half months long!”
Alternatively, this future the dog megastar barked, to which Kimmel responded, “Oh good, okay, we got a winner.”
Within the caption, he wrote, “Running jokes before the #Oscars…”
Previous in an interview with PEOPLE, Kimmel, who’s internet hosting the Academy Awards for the fourth future this pace, said, “I need to start working on my ‘explosiveness,” including, he were having “sad salads and a lot of pathetic boxed meals that are delivered to my home” today.
He quipped, “I feel like the Kansas City Chiefs going into this Oscars. Like you’ve been there before, but it doesn’t make a difference. It’s still exciting and you still have to do well.”
In the meantime, the 96th Academy Awards is are living now on ABC from the Dolby Theatre on March 10.
