Manny Pacquiao and President Bill Clinton, two political pound for pound kingpins, will bring the party to Jimmy Kimmel Live! next Wednesday, April 2, on ABC. This will mark the eighth time Pacquiao has appeared on Kimmel’s popular late-night talk show — more than any other active fighter — in their series of entertaining appearances together dating back to November 3, 2009 (the week before Pacquiao vs. Miguel Cotto).
It was on that night that Pacquiao unveiled his singing chops, belting out a rendition of the Dan Hill-penned hit ballad “Sometimes When We Touch.” Subsequent appearances featured Pacquiao singing duets with Kimmel and Will Ferrell, and an uproarious send-up of HBO Sports’ “24/7” reality franchise, starring Pacquiao and Kimmel sidekick Guillermo. That 2009 appearance also marked Manny’s U.S. network TV debut.
Pacquiao on Kimmel is always a fun combination, as there will surely be some kind of antics, potentially a skit or a song of some sort, and plenty of laughs. As it’s become a regular pre-fight tradition, the two know each other quite well at this point. And then you add in some guy, just President Clinton, into the mix… and it seems like it’s going to be a can’t miss show!
