Jimmy Kimmel Gives Howard a Hilarious Birthday Present
Brody Jenner’s ‘Screwy Hollywood Childhood’
Brody Jenner’s ‘Screwy Hollywood Childhood’
Brody Jenner stopped by to promote MTV’s “Bromance” – and Howard speculated that he was good-looking enough to have a significant power over women. Brody said he realized he was good looking when he was only 14 and already doing well with women.
Howard asked about Brody’s “screwy Hollywood childhood,” and Brody explained that his dad was Olympic athlete Bruce Jenner, mom was songwriter Linda Thompson and step-dad was recording industry legend David Foster. Howard wondered if Brody had a hard time growing up with Sara Foster and Kim Kardashian as step-sisters, but Brody, clearly used to the question, deflected nicely.
Howard tried a different angle, asking Brody if he was disturbed, like most people, by all the plastic surgery his father, Bruce Jenner, has had done to his face. Brody opened up: “I thought it. I’ve seen pictures of him back in the day…I’m right there with you.”
A Ladies Man
Brody told the crew that he met his girlfriend, 2008 Playmate of the Year Jayde Nicole, at the Playboy Mansion’s Midsummer Night’s Dream Party, which led Howard to ask how he managed to last in bed with a Playmate. Brody confessed that he had to “clear the pipes” in advance, adding that he was almost ready to settle down: “I’ve had four at one time, to be honest…it’s a lot of work.”
Howard noted that JD had professed his hatred for Brody, so JD came in to say that he just wouldn’t meet the first requirement of a “Bromance” contestant: “You had to be able to get chicks.” JD added that he didn’t know Brody, “but he sounds like the biggest douchebag ever…his life is flaunted in front of every sort of media, like TMZ…” Brody claimed his tabloid coverage was never intentional, so JD referenced a obviously-planted story about Brody having to turn women away from a party. Brody laughed it off: “He sounds jealous.”
An Interruption from Benjy’s Salad
Artie interrupted the Brody Jenner interview to complain about Benjy’s morning meal (“You’re gonna make me throw up!”), so Benjy explained that he only had a salad: “You guys don’t smell it…if I took it out, you guys won’t be able to tell if it’s in or out.” Howard didn’t care to investigate Benjy’s claim, instead he ordered him to just remove his salad from the studio.
