"That's the worst pina colada I have ever drunk," Kimmel admitted. Cumberbatch responded, "There's absolutely no alcohol in that." The host also showed some kitchenware that he prepared as a wedding gift for the Alan Turing of "The Imitation Game".
Talking about his future baby's name, Cumberbatch said his child would take his second name. "Poor child I think it will, have to it's kind of the tradition," he jokingly said. Kimmel later suggested baby name for the newlywed actor, saying, "As long as it starts with a 'Q'. Because then the kid could be Q. Cumberbatch: 'Cucumberbatch.' "
