Jimmy Kimmel Behind 'Worst Twerk Fail Ever' Viral Video
Jimmy Kimmel answered the question Monday as to who was behind a recent viral YouTube video.
By Carrie Frillman
Jimmy Kimmel took to news outlets Monday, publicizing that the woman featured in a viral "twerking" video was granting him an exclusive interview.
And she did. But the woman—who catches herself on fire in the YouTube sensation while imitating one of Miley Cyrus' favorite dance moves—outs herself on Jimmy Kimmel Live as a stunt woman.
Kimmel featured the sought-after guest Monday night to kick off his new season. He begins interviewing who he says is Caitlin Heller, the young woman who describes the YouTube clip as a video for her boyfriend. The "twerker" is actually a stunt woman named Daphne.
The fact is revealed after Kimmel shows the "editor's cut" in which he breaks through the door with a fire extinguisher.
He says the two shot the video two months ago and "let the magic happen." The original video had generated more than 9 million views as of Monday.
