Jimmy Kimmel, 47, recently featured Manny Pacquiao's new song "Lalaban Ako Para Sa Pilipino (I Will Fight For The Filipino)" on his late night show "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"

"To inspire himself to get himself fired up for the fight, Pacquiao just released his own walkout song," Kimmel said as he introduced a 15-second clip of the song.

Kimmel then joked, "I humbly submit this for consideration to next year's Grammy awards."

After showing a clip of Pacquiao singing the song, Kimmel quipped, "What a great song. I've never heard a song that summed up my emotions completely."

Also, Kimmel recently denied being behind the viral video showing Dennis Quaid, 61, having a meltdown.  The late night show host said, "I have to say it's disappointing because, you play 50 pranks and all of a sudden people don't trust you anymore."

After watching Quaid's meltdown video about 14 times at night, Kimmel said he woke up in the morning with the new that he was being blamed for it. He said, "There are two dozen articles online, thousands of comments suggesting that this is a prank video and I'm responsible for it."

Kimmel went on to joke that Quaid was probably doing a voiceover for a new cartoon in the meltdown. The host then aired a video of Daffy Duck wigging out to Quaid's censored rant.

In the viral video, which runs 44 seconds, Quaid loses it after somebody off screen breaks his concentration during a scene.

When asked by a TMZ reporter about the meltdown video outside a media event for his new Crackle series titled "The Art Of More," Quaid simply said, "Come on, man."

A spokesperson for the production company Mythology Entertainment, which is behind Quaid's recent film project "Truth" that finished production in 2014, told The Wrap that the meltdown did not take place on the set of their film.

It turned out, however, that the meltdown video was a Funny Or Die film.
