Jimmy Kimmel wound up his stint in Brooklyn on Friday after a blockbuster week of shows featuring such guests as Eddie Murphy, Sen. Bernie Sanders, Bill Murray, Alicia Keys, Bruce Springsteen and more.
Friday’s show saw the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” host introduce a new Broadway musical based on a bizarre video shot in a Bagel Boss outlet in Long Island that went viral after a diminutive customer — dubbed Bagel Boss Guy — went on an unhinged rant that wound up with him challenging a fellow diner to a fight, only to get instantly knocked on his butt.
After playing a clip from the notorious viral video, Kimmel shared footage shot in midtown Manhattan in which NYC pedestrians are presented with a poster for a fake Broadway show, “Bagel Boss: The Musical”, and happily shared their opinion of the show — despite having not seen it, or the fact that it doesn’t actually exist.
Taking the bit to its logical conclusion, the show’s writers hired some Broadway actors and created an opening number for the faux musical, with “Seinfeld” star Jason Alexander in the lead role of the small-statured, obnoxiously angry guy.
Joking about Bagel Buy’s guy’s size, Alexander’s fellow actors wear stilts, while dancers costumed as bagels swirl around him while he laments in song, “The ladies just see my lowly height, and never, ever, ever swipe right.”
The number takes a surprising turn when Bagel Boss Guy receives a visit from God, played by Tracy Morgan, who tells him to “quit your [bleep]ing peewee, I got to solve climate change and cure chlamydia.”
The number ends on a triumphant note when Bagel Boss Guy cuts a deal with the Almighty. You can watch the entire spectacle in its entirety above.
