Jelly Roll Makes His Late-Night Hosting Debut, Jokes His Name Is Post Malone In Case He 'Really Sucks'
NEED TO KNOW Jelly Roll guest-hosted the Wednesday, July 16 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! He jokingly told the audience his name is "Post Malone," but only if his jokes "really suck bad" "Thank you again to Jimmy Kimmel for taking a chance on my fat, white trash ass," said JellyJelly Roll can now add late-night talk show host to his resume. On Wednesday, July 16, the country star stepped in as the guest host of Jimmy Kimmel Live! and delivered a hilarious monologue to kick off the episode. He did have a plan, however, for if his jokes didn't land with the audience. "I need y'all to be patient with me tonight," said Jelly, 40, whose real name is Jason Bradley DeFord. "This is my first time doing something like this, and I'm going to try my best. I am. But if I really suck bad, y'all just remember — my name is Post Malone." Luckily, there was no need to hide behind his fellow Big Ass Stadium Tour performer's identity for the evening, as Jelly was a natural. "Do not adjust your TV — Jimmy did not join MS-13. I am your guest host, Jelly Roll. Tune in, baby," he exclaimed at the top of his monologue. "Now y'all know every guest gets on here, and they say it's great to be here. But I want to talk to y'all. Speaking as a guy who has been to prison before, it really is great to be here," said Jelly, who's been incarcerated around 40 times in his life. "Actually, it's kind of great to be anywhere. Hell, I walked into a DMV yesterday, and I was like, 'This is fucking awesome. God, this is great.'" In addition to his late-night hosting debut, the "Save Me" singer spoke about his upcoming match at WWE SummerSlam, where he'll team up with Randy Orton against Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul. The sporting event will air via Peacock in the U.S. and Netflix internationally on Aug. 2 and 3. "Don't clap for Logan Paul. You don't clap for Logan Paul," Jelly told the Jimmy Kimmel Live! crowd. "I decided to do it because truthfully, there are three things that I'm always mistaken for. I'm either mistaken for a wrestler, a tattoo artist, or a member of the Insane Clown Posse who just got sober." He added, "I know you're probably thinking, 'Jelly, how the hell are you going to fight in a pro wrestling match?' But I do have a lot of qualifications. As a fat guy, I've broken several folding chairs." The Grammy-nominated musician further detailed why SummerSlam will mark a "big moment" for him. "I faced my share of struggles in life, y'all. I faced adversity. I've overcame and I never thought, but I am going to have a moment that every American has dreamed of," he said. "And that is the moment of slapping Logan Paul in his face." "Thank you again to Jimmy Kimmel for taking a chance on my fat, white trash ass," quipped Jelly, who later gave silly nicknames (like his own) to Kimmel's staff and presented a few "Jelly Awards" to the subjects of some outrageous viral videos. Jelly and Post recently wrapped the U.S. leg of their Big Ass Stadium Tour, and they're now gearing up for the Big Ass World Tour in Europe, which kicks off next month. "Dear Austin, I say this on stage in some way every night, but man, being on this tour with you has been unreal. I have never had more fun in my life," wrote Jelly on Instagram last month.
