Jimmy Kimmel explains how a July 4th barbeque didn’t go exactly as planned during an appearance on Tuesday’s “Ellen DeGeneres Show”.

Kimmel tells the host, “I haven’t told anybody about this but on July 4th I did a very stupid thing. I turned the gas on on the grill and then I went for a little walk for matches. “Then when I came back I thought I should probably open the lid maybe air this thing out, maybe turn it off and start over again.

And then I thought no I’m not going to do that, what I’ll do is light a piece of paper on fire then throw it into the grill. “I did that then there was a massive explosion in my face.
