With Dr. Mehmet Oz on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' (weeknights, 12:05AM ET on ABC), the host thought he'd treat his sidekicks Guillermo Rodriguez (the parking lot security guard) and Yehya Mohamed (the celebrity stalker) to checkups by Oprah Winfrey's fave doc.The doctor weighed them onstage. Jimmy was quick to note he was wearing shoes and had "my gun in my holster right now." At 250 pounds, Yehya proudly "won" that, er, contest.
Having taken their blood pressure and cholesterol, Dr. Oz revealed Yehya was "pre-diabetic" and gave Guillermo a diagnosis for his having "Raisinets for testicles." To Jimmy, he said, "Everything is perfect, except..." You'll have to watch the clip to find out.

Jimmy Kimmel makes employee Guillermo Rodriguez suffer through all kinds of stunts on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' (weeknights, 12:05AM ET on ABC). But acting out a fantasy with Eva Mendes was no big sacrifice.In the skit, Guillermo appeared (dressed as a bullfighter, of sorts) to damsel-in-distress Eva. Rolling her r's, Eva says dramatically, "Guillermo, you're so strong, so brave, so masculine ... Take me, Guillermo, I am yours! Do with me what you will."
But the fun was soon over, as the security guard was then called upon to make out with a boom mic.

Sure, Anamika Veeramani correctly spelled the word "stromuhr" to win the Scripps National Spelling Bee. But Jimmy Kimmel and his staffers tested the bee queen again -- this time adding some confusing pronunciation to the mix.The spelling bee panel on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' (weeknights, 12:05AM ET on ABC) included "Uncle Frank" Potenza and Guillermo Rodriguez, the latter in a bee costume. Guillermo's Spanish pronunciation of the word "juxtaposition" meant the more difficult job for Anamika was to first figure out the word she had to spell.
When asked to use it in a sentence, he said, "Yu-hut-ta-poz-i-tee-on is a really long word." And when she sweetly inquired as to whether someone else on the panel could pronounce the word, Jimmy replied, "Guillermo is the only official pronouncer."
So did the 14-year-old figure it out? Check out the video clip.
What red carpet couldn't be improved by tequila? - VIDEO

I don't know how most of you watched the Emmys, but I watched it in a conference room with my colleagues, working on features for AOL Television's Emmys coverage. It was just like being at an Emmys party -- we even had jambalaya! (OK, there was that whole "work" thing, too.)But Guillermo on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' -- well, he had the right idea. He took a bottle of tequila to the red carpet and convinced a ton of celebs to do shots with him. Then, if he was still conscious (and after 20 shots, I honestly don't see how), he got the opportunity to watch the Emmys drunk. Hey, that's one way to make the reality-show hosts seem funny.
Check out this clip of Guillermo on the red carpet. It's hysterical (particularly the faces the celebs make after they've done their shot -- that ain't apple juice, folks). Once again, Ricky Gervais proves the funniest man standing by a mile; and I love how Cheryl Hines comes back for seconds. That's my girl.
