MATCH-UP 1: JIMMY PRANKS THE INTERNET

Worst twerk fail EVER


The joke was on the internet this time. In 2013, a video of a woman who twerked so hard she caught fire went viral. When Jimmy had her as a guest on his show, he revealed he was in on the fake fail the whole time. Watch the original video.

Wolf roams Olympic village


Athletes had to put up with some hotel problems while in Sochi for the Winter Olympics, but a wolf? After Kate Hansen posted a video of a wolf in her hallway, it went viral. Should we have known Jimmy was behind it? Probably.


Watch the original video that fooled the internet here.

Jimmy surprises Justin Bieber fan


Who says pranks can't be nice? This viral star got the surprise of her life when she thought she was talking to Justin Bieber on the phone, only to have him walk into the room!

Jimmy the pig


Jimmy, dressed as a talking pig, befriends two young girls at the State Fair. But just because they believe in talking pigs, that doesn't mean they'll let him boss them around.

MATCH-UP 3: JOKE'S ON DAD

Hey Jimmy Kimmel, I unplugged the TV during the Big Game


This type of Super Bowl black-out only affects houses with pranksters. Viewers were encouraged to unplug the TV at a crucial moment in the game, and many were up to the challenge. Jimmy promised that only 30 people were hospitalized over this.

Hey Jimmy Kimmel, I sprayed my dad with a hose


If dad is usually the one pulling pranks in your family, Jimmy gave you the perfect opportunity to get him back for Fathers' Day. He wasn't expecting, though, that it would backfire on him.

MATCH-UP 4: TRICKING YOUR KIDS FOR A LAUGH

Hey Jimmy Kimmel, I told my kids I ate all their Halloween candy


What could be meaner than tricking your kids into believing all their Halloween candy is gone...because you ate it? Jimmy first asked parents to pull this prank in 2011, and it's been a hit every year since.

Hey Jimmy Kimmel, I gave my kids a terrible present


OK, we thought of something that might be meaner than stolen Halloween candy: getting a half-eaten sandwich for Christmas. We'd say they should go on Santa's nice list for putting up with this, but some of these kids had pretty major meltdowns.

MATCH-UP 5: POOR AUNT CHIPPY

Aunt Chippy falls for April Fools' Day prank


Jimmy's favorite prank subject agreed to do an interview with her local ABC affiliate. Too bad Jimmy and Cousin Sal knew exactly how to turn it into a disaster and make Chippy go into full crazy Italian aunt mode.

Cousin Sal and Jimmy Aunt Chippy sonogram prank


It's cruel enough to call Aunt Chippy "as sweet as a shot glass full of gasoline," but Jimmy took advantage of how gullible she can be, too. In her very first sonogram viewing, the "baby" made a pretty rude hand gesture...and did some jumping jacks.

MATCH-UP 6: THAT'S NOT JIMMY!

Matt Damon's revenge


For 10 years, Jimmy "ran out of time" to have Matt Damon as a guest on the show. When the actor finally got his revenge and took over the show, it made us laugh out loud...but also squirm in our seats.

Take a photo with "Jimmy Kimmel"


People claiming to be fans of the show lined up to get a photo with Jimmy. The catch was that they were greeted by a guy who only kind of looks like him. That didn't make a difference for most of them.

MATCH-UP 7: ON THE STREET

Jimmy asks pedestrians for their password


Does it count as a prank if the person knows what's going on? People on the street were asked for their passwords, and they gave them up without much of a fight.

I Witness News - Fake Drake


Would you admit that you aren't a Drake fan to his face? These unsuspecting pedestrians gave all kinds of criticisms of the rapper ... without realizing they were being interviewed by him.

MATCH-UP 8: TAKEN FOR A RIDE

Jimmy gets hired by Uber


Jimmy really did go through the Uber hiring process, all for the sake of confusing one poor guy who just wanted a cheap lift.

Jimmy's prank battle with John Krasinski and Emily Blunt


Sometimes the prankster becomes the prank-ee. Jimmy's long-running prank battle with his neighbors, John Krasinski and Emily Blunt, was taken to a new level last Christmas when the couple gift-wrapped Jimmy's car...three times.
