#DreamBig: I want to live the Hollywood life for a month and appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live

Joe Harrington

Where the magic happens.

Okay, I watch clips of Jimmy Kimmel Live every morning when I wake up and I’ve watched the TV series Entourage at least 13 times so I’ve decided to combine the two for my big dream.

Kimmel is the king of late night talk shows in America (IMO) and my overall goal is to appear on his chat show.

€50k would be just enough money for my plan.

It won’t be easy so I reckon spending a month immersing myself in Hollywood and the lifestyle will set me up for the appearance.

By immersing myself, I mean living like a rockstar, dressing like a movie star and living in a massive apartment in the Hollywood Hills where I’ll put my plan in place to get my big Irish mug on Kimmel.

Once that’s all sorted and I’m well settled, I’ll kick off my plan which is… #GetJoeOnKimmel

I want to rent out a 5.0 litre Ford Mustang, paint it in the Irish tricolour, emblazon the hashtag #GetJoeOnKimmel on the side and spend my time spinning around Hollywood.

I’ll drive around Venice Beach, Santa Monica, Hollywood Boulevard, Rodeo Drive and all the LA hotspots as well as taking a trip to Jimmy’s hometown in Las Vegas to get the message out there. Road trip!

I’ll rent out a plane to fly over Hollywood Boulevard carrying a #GetJoeOnKimmel banner while the show is taping in the afternoon, that should grab their attention.

The lifestyle I mentioned above isn’t solely for me to have a great time over there, honest.

I want to meet as many new people as possible to tell them about my plan and get them on Twitter and everywhere else talking about it.

In the space of a week, the hashtag #GetJoeOnKimmel will be on the show’s radar and the call will come. I’ll be ready for Jimmy in my brand new Armani suit and my epic story of how Hollywood helped me Dream Big.

At the end of the month, I’ll invite everyone I’ve met and everyone that helped me along the way to a massive party in my swish apartment in the Hollywood Hills.

I’ll call the #WeGotJoeOnKimmel Party and hopefully Jimmy and his staff will come along and grab some Buds with us.

That’s my dream, what’s yours?
