What Is This Thing?

There is a thread on Reddit called “What Is This Thing?” which exists “for the identification of mysterious objects.” People post photos of an unidentified thing and ask the hive mind of the internet to help them figure out what it is. Jimmy likes this sort of thing, so we took some of the objects from Reddit and asked folks on Hollywood Boulevard to help us identify them.

I've just decided that I like Mike and I want him as a regular on the show, sharing commentary on everything and anything.

[tcbizz]

That guy should have his own segment/show!!!😂

[MLSMiss]

Mike was pretty spot on with the coconut fluid extractor.

[KnightmarelXXvII]

Bring Mike back! I've never heard Jimmy's staff get annoyed. It was refreshing to hear them get frustrated instead of them making other people frustrated.

[christina]

You have to bring Mike on the show! He is hilarious!

[ccroyalty]

The way he explains everything it sounds like he invented it for multiple purposes

[Scorpio_]

I can see see the seasons changing behind Mike

[danthegeetarman]

Those detailed breakdowns that were COMPLETELY wrong 😂😂😂

[desmawalker]

Give this man an infomercial spot already. 👀😀😂😂

I’m pretty sure I sat next to Mike on a greyhound bus from Seattle to Fresno about 15 years ago. I didn’t say a word to him that whole trip but the guy next to me talked at me the entire 23 hours. Even after everyone turned their lights out and I closed my eyes. I haven’t taken a bus since.

5:00 the first time in his life Bob has been speechless. His wife said thank you

[sharim]

OMG if Mike is married his wife deserves some kind of award!

He’s just as precious as can be, but Lordy, that boi can talk! ❤

[laura-maejames]

Mike was rendered speechless. Yall shjould've asked him what his job

[lmbmacalister]

I agree with the 8, 000 others who think Mike deserves a segment. That kind of talent for thinking on his feet shouldn't be wasted.

[_just_looking_thank_you]

Mike’s quite the thinker. Jimmy should give him a recurring guest spot.

[hfield]

I need more of Mike!!!! What an amazing guy.

[asus.dios.]

Mike is the world's greatest Grandpa

[mazena.s.]

Do more segments with mike he’s hilarious 😂 😂😂

[timothyweers]

I like the fact that before he found out what the last item was he had a super description for what it could be, once finding out what it was, he was speechless. I wonder if this guy is an instructor, or even an auctioneer for how well he rambles on and on and on. LOL

[luciusoglesby]

I’m glad they found that guy again, they need to get him for every what is this segment
