Jimmy Kimmel is remembering a real night to remember.
The late-night talk show host recently sat down for a chat on SiriusXM’s Howard Stern show, and opened up to host Howard Stern about a wild, star-studded party he attended alongside some of the biggest names in show business.
“It was a party at Paul McCartney’s house,” Kimmel recalled, eliciting a sound of admiration from Stern. “We were invited to a dinner that night and then the host of the dinner was invited to what party and said, ‘Why don’t we all go to the party?’ So we went to the party.”
Kimmel spoke earlier about the party during an interview with Austin Butler about Jimmy Kimmel live!who was also at the event, and Butler remembered that fellow guest Taylor Swift “I was DJing at one point.”
“When they said Taylor Swift was DJing, she just had her iPhone and kind of plugged it into the house system,” Kimmel clarified to Stern, laughing. “But it wasn’t like she was hired to work there.”
According to Kimmel, Swift was at the event alongside her boyfriend Travis Kelceand he got a chance to chat with them during the superstar event — which included somewhere around “100 people.”
Kimmel was joined by his wife, Molly McNearney — who also serves as an executive producer on his show — and the comedian recalled, “People were dancing in the kitchen, including Molly.”
“I was in the corner with Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox, which I was so relieved to see, because it was one of those parties where I didn’t know how to hold my body. I didn’t know where to look. I didn’t know what to do,” he recalled. McNearney — who is a longtime friend of the Friends alumni. “It was like one famous person after another.”
Although Kimmel admitted he was too nervous to talk to Mick Jagger, he struck up a conversation with Bruce Springsteen.
“I talked to Bruce. He’s funny. You know, we had a good conversation,” Kimmel recalled. “We talked about Elvis and we talked about, I don’t know, being in L.A. and we even had that moment like, ‘Can you believe this party?’ I mean, even Bruce Springsteen said, ‘This is a party!'”
Speaking to Butler last weekKimmel recalled, “The last time I saw you was maybe at the craziest party I’ve ever been to in my entire life.”
“That was crazy,” agreed Butler.
“It was like a party where Tom Hanks was going, ‘Oh my God, can you believe who’s here?!’” Kimmel joked.
He went on to name some of the attendees, including living members of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, Springsteen, Steven Spielberg and many others.
However, Butler said he was most impressed with Meryl Streep.
“She’s just the best,” he gushed. “I felt like, you know, in high school, when you have a crush on someone and they’re across the room and you don’t really know how to say hello to them? I can’t believe I was in the same room.”
The actor was too “nervous” to perform, so he excused himself to McCartney’s kitchen and “ate some of his vegan pizza” at the buffet. An unidentified friend, realizing that Butler was alone at the time, offered to make an introduction.
“I couldn’t believe I was meeting Meryl Streep with Paul McCartney’s vegan pizza in my mouth,” he joked.
