AceShowbiz - Jimmy Kimmel will take over the reins on "The Bachelor" from permanent host Chris Harrison for one episode only. The comedian is set to guest host the January 19 episode of the reality dating series.
True to his comedic root, Jimmy will crash an intimate dinner, play a trick on the bachelor Chris Soules and dance instructor Kaitlyn during their date at a high-end club before ushering Chris and one lucky lady into a hot tub.
In the episode titled "Amazing Jar", Chris will take 12 of the remaining girls to compete in a farm-themed race that includes milking a goat, shoveling manure and wrestling a greased pig. ABC teases that "an underdog beats out a brash woman in top physical shape."
Kimmel is hosting "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" which airs weekdays at 11:35 P.M. ET on ABC. He has just unveiled a new opening for his late-night talk show.
