Jimmy Kimmel's 'Fat Baby Bingo' Features 12 Adorable Kiddos
These 12 babies featured on the late-night show are just too cute! Patch speaks with one family about the experience.
Coming in at 24 pounds at just 7-months-old, baby Jackson Stewart isn't necessarily what one might call 'petite.' In fact, late night host Jimmy Kimmel went as far as calling him fat.
But that's okay, because all two dozen pounds of the healthy Beaumont, Calif. baby are adorable, and his smile is simply contagious.
Jackson was selected out of hundreds, or perhaps thousands, of entries from across the United States and Canada to be featured on Jimmy Kimmel's 'Fat Baby Bingo' segment, which aired Tuesday night.
His mom Tiffany says it was a month-long process to land the segment, after she found out about it on Facebook.
"A friend of mine tagged me in a post from the Jimmy Kimmel show," she tells Patch. "I sent in the picture of my twins and they asked for Jackson to be a part of it. It was about a month process. Interview after interview... They fell in love with Jackson."
Jackson and Tiffany participated in the segment from the comfort of their home, via a webcam. And though they weren't one of the few to be selected in 'bingo,' Tiffany says the experience was a great one.
"It was just exciting being able to do something like this," she says. "The process wasn't bad and I thought jimmy and the cast were going to make fun of 'fat' babies. But he didn't and I'm glad. Each baby is different in size but they're all beautiful just the way they are."
