Later, Jimmy reveals hidden camera footage of the animal friendly but frightened NBA superstar when he is faced with some very exotic animals.

"Jimmy Kimmel Live: Game Night" also showcases a music video in which the late night host collaborates with R&B artist Usher in an original song dedicated to the men on the basketball bench who often get overlooked -- the "Benchwarmers." Don't miss the debut of this duet on ABC.
