Zaila Avant-garde got surprised by Bill Murray in a delightful 'Jimmy Kimmel' segment
This is fun.
Zaila Avant-garde has wowed the world with her spelling and basketball skills in the past few weeks, so of course when she appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live with Phoebe Robinson this week, she ended up combining the two: doing some unreal dribbling drills while spelling tough words.
Naturally, she knocked it out of the park. But then there was another amazing thing: after she shouted out Bill Murray in her Spelling Bee-winning moment to spell Murraya (see below), the actor/comedian showed up virtually to test her.
This whole thing is just delightful, especially when she balances on a foam roller, dribbles and spells “portmanteau” correctly.
