Jelly Roll recruits kids for chaotic songwriting on Jimmy Kimmel Live

Sep 2, 2026

In this August 27, 2026 segment of Jimmy Kimmel Live, guest host Jelly Roll brings a group of young children onstage to collaboratively write his "next single." He offers them candy (then jokes about his sobriety and addiction), hands out toy instruments for an immediate failed jam session, and elicits random words and stories through Mad Libs-style prompts and free association. The children share anecdotes about cannibal fish, punching their father, aspiring to be astronauts, and ridiculous rhymes; Jelly Roll ties them together into a deliberately silly, scatological song performed on the spot. He ends by having them "sign" a contract (then tells them not to) and concludes the song with the line that next time he'll just use AI. The bit closes with one of the kids playing an instrument to play them out.
