Despite his efforts, Ramsay was far from impressed, tossing Kimmel’s failed scrambled eggs on the floor of the set in a profanity-laced moment. Given that Kimmel has three children, including newborn Jane, born on July 10, it could be assumed that he would be experienced in basic cooking. But according to the chef, this was not the case. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3029186/jimmy-kimmel-food-cook/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3029186/jimmy-kimmel-food-cook/"},"headline":"See Which Foods Jimmy Kimmel Can't Cook","datePublished":"2014-07-24T15:50:19.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T09:19:47.784Z","description":"The late night host attempted to show off his eggs for the world class chef.","url":"https://time.com/3029186/jimmy-kimmel-food-cook/","keywords":["Late Night Highlight","Late Night","entertainment"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Video","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-video/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/late-night-highlight/","name":"Late Night Highlight"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3029186/jimmy-kimmel-food-cook/","name":"See Which Foods Jimmy Kimmel Can't Cook"}}]}] ```
