- Host Jimmy Kimmel quizzed “Bad Guy” singer Billie Eilish on her music knowledge during Thursday’s episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” and the 17-year-old didn’t know who singers like Van Halen or Huey Lewis were.
- After joking about their birth years, Kimmel asked Eilish if she knew who Madonna was, to which the singer said yes.
- But when Kimmel asked, “Can you name a Van Halen?” Eilish responded, “Who?”
- “I’m gonna start crying,” Kimmel joked.
- Eilish knew of Cyndi Lauper, but not Huey Lewis nor Run-DMC “What is that?” the teenager said when asked about the iconic hip-hop group.
- However, the singer was the most confused when Kimmel asked her if she’d ever “played with a Cabbage Patch Kid.”
- “A Cabbage Patch Kid? Like a sour patch kid? Is it a candy?” she asked.
- And Eilish was also lacking in her knowledge of “Ghostbusters” (“I don’t think I’ve seen it”), Mr. T, and “Gremlins.”
- “The point that I’m trying to make is that you’re younger than I am,” Kimmel said, to which Eilish said, “You’re making me look so dumb!”
