Jenny, the beloved animal star of "The Banshees of Inisherin," made a surprise guest appearance alongside host Jimmy Kimmel. Kimmel escorted Jenny out on stage, complete with a glitzy gold "support animal" vest, to a chorus of awwws from the audience. Kimmel also pointed out Jenny's costars Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson, who were sitting in the front rows and seemed delighted to see their most adorable colleague.
There was a twist to this cute tale, though: the donkey on stage wasn't actually the "real" Jenny. Martin McDonagh, the director of "The Banshees of Inisherin," revealed to the Los Angeles Times backstage that they used a Jenny double, saying they "never would have allowed" the real Jenny to be flown out from Ireland. It was a sweet moment nonetheless!
