As the host took the pair around her studio lot, she asked tourists and employees to choose between the 48-year-old _Jimmy Kimmel_ _Live!_ star and the 30-year-old actor, resulting in a scorecard that weighed heavily in Eastwood’s favor. “I don’t want to be spiteful,” Kimmel chimed in after an entire tour group swung in Eastwood’s favor. “But I don’t have to travel around in a tram. I have my own car, OK?” Watch the full clip below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4495339/jimmy-kimmel-scott-eastwood-whod-you-rather-ellen-degeneres/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4495339/jimmy-kimmel-scott-eastwood-whod-you-rather-ellen-degeneres/"},"headline":"Watch Jimmy Kimmel Epically Lose to Scott Eastwood in a Game of 'Who'd You Rather?'","datePublished":"2016-09-15T16:37:08.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:36:36.088Z","description":"Poor Jimmy","url":"https://time.com/4495339/jimmy-kimmel-scott-eastwood-whod-you-rather-ellen-degeneres/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","Ellen Degeneres","Jimmy Kimmel","TV","ellen","The Ellen Show","The Ellen Degeneres Show"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","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":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4495339/jimmy-kimmel-scott-eastwood-whod-you-rather-ellen-degeneres/","name":"Watch Jimmy Kimmel Epically Lose to Scott Eastwood in a Game of 'Who'd You Rather?'"}}]}] ```
