Coming out wearing a jewel-studded tracksuit to give a minor congrats to himself for being on a night show for the first time. Domingo talked about growing up in West Philadelphia, going to the same school as The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Will Smith, and how they were in different social circles.
Kimmel then moves to a conversation talking about Domingo’s past projects. One of the shows they discuss in-depth was a sketch comedy show with Kate McKinnon, called The Big Gay Sketch Show. He did a few sketches on a few celebrities like Morgan Freeman, Nick Cannon, and Maya Angelou. You can hear his hilarious impression of Maya Angelou and Oprah in the video below.
The conversation then switches to talking about his current project, Euphoria, where he talked about his character, Ali. “I play a character…he’s holding everyone to their truths. He’s a real steady guy who’s also a recovering addict. He’s sort of that quiet in the storm of all these kids doing wild things, but he sort of grounds and anchors the show.”
The interview concludes with Kimmel asking Domingo, which fan base was more animated, Fear the Walking Dead or Euphoria. Domingo answers the Fear of the Walking Dead was more passionate because he plays the villain in the show, and when fans would see him, they would shout, “I hate you!”
Domingo’s interview with Jimmy Kimmel was such lively and engaging fans can’t wait to see him in more late-night shows.
