Video: JJ Watt Wipes Out Elmo While Getting Jimmy Kimmel a Latte

Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday and completely clobbered a poor kid dressed as Elmo.

Watt came out to do a shtick about running over to the coffee shop to get Jimmy Kimmel a latte. On the way, he ran into “tackle me Elmo,” as Kimmel joked while watching the mayhem.

The video is obviously scripted but, man, the kid that plays Elmo takes, what we call in the wrestling industry, a bad bump.

More impressively, that coffee shop had Jimmy Kimmel’s exact order ready before Watt even showed up. Lucky coincidence, no doubt.
