"I guess the first thing I want to say is I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make your life hell, I really didn't," Kimmel said," to which Kibble replied, "Oh, it's OK. I forgive you."
When asked if the similarity with their names was something that was brought up a lot through his life, the football player admitted, "More than you would know. Every single first day of class, I was Jimmy Kimmel."
"It's exciting to, for me, to watch you play because I just imagine that the announcers have a cold and it's me catching those touchdowns," the late-night host joked.

Kibble, born in 2003, does not share a middle name with Kimmel, as the wide receiver shared his middle name is Ashton, after his mother's love for actor Ashton Kutcher.
Kimmel then asked, "You graduate in the spring, right? Do you have any interest in hosting a late-night talk show? We'd barely have to change the logos."
To that, Kibble shared, "If you're ever sick, I would gladly fill in," prompting Kimmel to joke, "Oh, that would be nice. And vice-versa, by the way."
Ultimately, Kimmel offered to sponsor Kibble, which is allowed now at the college level, to which the college football player enthusiastically accepted.
