Jameela Jamil Tells 'Kimmel' She 'Almost Died' Due To Ted Danson's Advice: 'He Tried To Kill Me!'

Jameela Jamil paid a visit to Jimmy Kimmel Live for the first time on Monday night (November 25) and recalled the time Ted Danson‘s advice nearly killed her!

The 33-year-old actress revealed her Good Place co-star taught her how to “act” and “stay alive early on” because she kept getting a fever every time she would film.

“A doctor once told me I’m clinically weak, which isn’t a condition, it’s just sad. But Ted noticed that I was fatigued and yet was running circles around me. And he’s 40 years older than me!,” Jameela said. “I started trying to jog because of him. And the first time I tried, I almost died!”

“I’m jogging, I stop because of the traffic. I’m listening to Beyoncé very loud. And I guess because I’m very tall, I have disturbed a branch on the tree. What I don’t know is—and I find this out as kind of a cloud of black descends upon me—that there’s a beehive on that tree,” Jameela explained. “And I had very much so p**sed off the beehive that are now all over me, so I just start running into traffic. That is my natural instinct to run into six lanes of traffic. I run in, a car hits me. Yeah, I get knocked over by a car. I’ve just started filming ‘The Good Place‘, by the way. But the car’s, thankfully, slowing down because it sees a woman covered in a perm of bees, so they hit me while slowing down.”

Jameela then revealed how she led the bees to a club/taco bar and the smoking area: “There are people standing outside smoking, and I think to myself—and it’s terrible when you’re in a moment of emergency to realize what an awful person you are—but I looked at those people smoking and I was like, ‘You already don’t care about your lives, so I’m gonna run at you with these bees.’”

Jameela said of Danson, “He tried to kill me!”

Jameela Jamil also dished about her new game show The Misery Index, which airs Tuesdays on TBC at 10:30pm EST!
