Gabourey Sidibe Reveals How She Pranked Jimmy Kimmel at His Wedding

Gabourey Sidibe dropped by Jimmy Kimmel Live on Thursday to reveal that she walked down the aisle during Kimmel’s wedding. She claimed that she married him — and the claim was not far off.

Jimmy’s now wife, Molly McNearney, asked the Oscar nominated actress to prank Jimmy by walking down the aisle in a full wedding gown as if she were going to marry Jimmy. The prank was so secretive that even McNearney’s parents didn’t know and, upon seeing Sidibe, thought the wedding venue had been double-booked. Sidibe walked down the aisle to the confusion of Kimmel and his guests. Sidibe recalled, “I thought somebody was going to jump me. I thought someone was going to tackle me and be like, ‘Not Molly’s day!’”

Luckily, she wasn’t tackled and pulled off the prank in style. Jimmy remembered it fondly: “And you got to the front and you said a few words. I was crying but I was crying from laughing so hard … It really was a spectacular moment.”

Jimmy Kimmel Live airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. on ABC.
