It’s only a matter of time before someone gets seriously hurt thanks to one of Jimmy Kimmel‘s pranks.

Two years ago, Al Michaels was not getting ready to take a turn doing play-by-play for the Super Bowl. But he got to enjoy the next best thing, as he recalled this morning on “The Dan Patrick Show.”
