Kimmy Kimmel gave an update on just how much he loves betting on \u201cDancing With the Stars\u201d.<\/p>\n

In April 2024, the ABC late-night host stunned DWTS season 16 runner-up Zendaya by revealing that he made five figures by betting on her to win the ABC celebrity ballroom competition back in 2013.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what you need to know:<\/p>\n

Jimmy Kimmel Won $12,000 By Betting on Zendaya to Win \u2018Dancing With the Stars\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Zendaya<\/p>\n

Zendaya was just 16 years old when she competed on \u201cDancing With the Stars\u201d more than a decade ago. The future \u201cEuphoria\u201d star finished in second place with pro partner Val Chmerkovskiy that season. Singer Kellie Pickler was the mirrorball trophy winner with pro Derek Hough.<\/p>\n

But even though Zendaya \u201clost\u201d that season, Kimmel won. On the April 18, 2024, episode of \u201cJimmy Kimmel Live!\u201d, Kimmel recalled that Zendaya\u2019s impressive run on the ABC dancing show helped fatten his wallet. \u201cI bet quite a bit of money on you and won quite a bit of money on you,\u201d Kimmel told the actress.<\/p>\n

After Zendaya noted that she \u201cdidn\u2019t win\u201d but \u201cgot pretty far,\u201d Kimmel dropped numbers.<\/p>\n

\u201cCan I tell you, I think I won $12,000?\u201d Kimmel laughed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat??\u201d Zendaya replied. \u201cWell, you\u2019re welcome!\u201d she told the late-night host.<\/p>\n

Jimmy Kimmel Regularly Makes Predictions About Who Will Win \u2018Dancing With the Stars\u2019<\/strong>
\n\"Jimmy<\/p>\n

Kimmel has worked for ABC since 2003, but that doesn\u2019t mean he has any inside information on who will win \u201cDancing with the Stars.\u201d The comic has been vocal about his love for predicting who will win the ABC dance-off, but he\u2019s not always right. On his late-night show, he regularly shares his picks in a monologue segment with his sidekick, Guillermo Rodriguez.<\/p>\n

As \u201cDancing With the Stars\u201d season 24 began to air in 2017, Kimmel told his viewers he was \u201cgolden\u201d when it came to his DWTS betting bracket. He then correctly predicted that Rashad Jennings would be the winner.<\/p>\n

In season 25, Kimmel began a bit of losing steak again when he predicted that Los Angeles Lakers star Derek Fisher would win. Kimmel admitted the basketball player was a \u201clongshot,\u201d but stood by his pick. \u201cI am counting on D-Fish to deliver one more championship to the city of Los Angeles,\u201d Kimmel said. \u201cAnd Derek, I know you will not let me down.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fisher lost DWTS to another Fisher: Broadway actor Jordan Fisher. D-Fish was the third contestant eliminated that season.<\/p>\n

In 2018, Kimmel predicted who would win the all-athletes edition of DWTS. \u201cI bet real money on it, and over the years I\u2019ve correctly guessed the winner 10 out of 20 times,\u201d he said of his track record. \u201cIt\u2019s one of my greatest\/saddest accomplishments.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kimmel noted that predicting the winner of the all-athlete season was the toughest one because all of the contestants had athletic ability. Kimmel ultimately bet on former Washington Redskins cornerback Josh Norman, but he was wrong. Norman, who was partnered with pro dancer Sharna Burgess, landed as the runner-up that season. Olympic figure skater Adam Rippon won the mirrorball trophy that year with Jenna Johnson.<\/p>\n

For season 27, Kimmel picked former Dallas Cowboys linebacker DeMarcus Ware. But the football star didn\u2019t even make the finals and was the 7th contestant eliminated.<\/p>\n

And for season 28, the ABC host predicted James VanDerBeek would win the DWTS competition. Unfortunately, the \u201cDawson\u2019s Creek\u201d actor fell way short, landing in fifth place on \u201cBachelorette\u201d Hannah Brown\u2019s winning season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
