Jimmy Kimmel has addressed a viral video which captured Dennis Quaid having a meltdown on a movie set. There were speculations that the comedian was the mastermind behind the viral video and that the outburst was a prank he filmed for "Jimmy Kimmel Live!".

"I watched it a bunch of times last night - and when I woke up this morning - I was being blamed for it," Kimmel said on his show Tuesday, April 14. He added, "There are two dozen articles - and thousands of comments online - suggesting that this is a prank - and I am responsible for it. And I have to say - that's disappointing. You play like fifty pranks and all of a sudden people don't trust you anymore."

Kimmel continued responding to the speculations that arose along with the viral video by making fun of it, saying that Quaid's words "Dopey the D**k" were suitable for a children's book's title. "You know, I promised we'd get to the bottom of this Dennis Quaid video controversy. The truth is - the reason Dennis released that video - is to promote his new children's book. 'Dopey the Dick'. I read it to my daughter last night. She loved it," he said.

Meanwhile, Quaid's rep declined to comment on the video. When asked by paparazzi, Quaid coyly responded, "Come on, man," and rushed to get into a car.
