Jimmy Kimmel: 'I Would Give My Life For Oprah' (VIDEO)

We always had a feeling that Oprah was magic, and after seeing last night's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," we're pretty much convinced.

During his monologue, Kimmel gabbed about the queen of daytime talk joining his 7th annual post-Oscars special Sunday. But when he started dishing about a sketch they pre-recorded together, Kimmel admitted that upon meeting Oprah, he instantly felt like he'd do anything for her.

"About 20 minutes in, I decided that I would give my life for Oprah," Kimmel said. "If Oprah needed my lungs, she could have both of them. She's like a magic person, she really is."

Kimmel also bragged that she was funny, enthusiastic, and even indulged him by saying his name "the Oprah way." And when Oprah later tweeted that Kimmel was adorable? You can tell that the feeling is definitely mutual:

"I don't know what happened, but I love her."

The French must not feel that way, which is why no one at Hermes in Paris let her in while they were hosting a private party. Or maybe they just weren't watching daytime American tv in France. Oprah is only a deity in the United States.

She's a great woman.

She's a deity only in your head.

He certainly looks better since he shed the flab. It was kind of him to say nice things about Winfrey as no one seems to be able to find OWN on their cable provider....

Careful Jimmy, she might take you up on that offer... She'll neuter you like she did Dr. Phil.... ;-)

I think Dr Phil's wife neutered him when his 15 mins. of fame went to his "head". Is she liscensed? Why is she highly featured on the show?

Ok, that was funny. "Magical." Giving both lungs. I LOL'd and I'm soooo somewhere where anything OL (out loud) is forbidden. So, like I said, that was funny.

And who are the young people watching - Kimmel, Fallon, Stewart, Cobert - the truth tellers. Fox News - not so much - reserved for the l*mp d**k old white men!

I feel like we've all given Oprah enough of our lives already. She's magic alright. Like all magic, it is merely an illusion; a slight of hand trick.
