Thespians: Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon dramatized a ‘dumb couple fight’ as an acting challenge on Jimmy Kimmel Live! this Wednesday
Jimmy’s employee Benjamin wrote a letter explaining the argument he and his live-in beau Chris had over their dessert preferences.
‘My boyfriend Chris came back from the store with two pints of ice cream: cookies and cream, which we both love, and mint chocolate chip, which he loves and I hate.’
He added: ‘But when I went to serve myself some cookies and cream he insisted on sharing that pint, because it was obvious he was just trying to get more for himself.’
Jimmy read the letter aloud on the at-home edition of his chat show and said dryly: ‘Well, that is certainly a dumb fight.’
