Howard Stern Was Impressed By Jimmy Kimmel's "Composure" When Dakota Johnson's Dress Fell Off During An Interview

Dakota Johnson is Howard Stern's biggest celebrity crush

Jimmy Kimmel is a better man than Howard Stern. At least, this is what the radio legend was implying about Jimmy's reaction to Dakota Johnson's wardrobe malfunction on his late-night chat show. During the June 2024 interview, Dakota Johnson's dress strap fell apart, exposing part of her top half on the show. Fortunately, it happened during the clip from her movie, Daddio, and not while she was on camera. But Jimmy Kimmel did get some heat for calling attention to it, unlike Stephen Colbert who dealt with a similar incident around the same time.

Stephen Colbert was praised for an interview he did with Sarah McDaniels, a model and Playboy star, due to constantly keeping eye contact despite her ample cleavage.

Instead of stopping the interview, Jimmy encouraged Dakota to power through the rest of the interview while she held her dress together. Still, both Dakota and Jimmy appeared to have a sense of humor about things and continued on with their conversation. This is what his Hollywood bestie, Howard Stern complimented him on.

During a June 26th, 2024 interview on The Howard Stern Show, the radio legend sat down with Jimmy, his wife, Molly McNearney, and his own spouse, Beth Stern. All of whom were more than aware of Howard's major crush on Dakota Johnson.

"I do want to compliment Jimmy. During the interview [with Dakota Johnson], her dress became damaged and almost fell off. And you kept your concentration. I would not have. I would not have kept my concentration."

It's clear that Howard Stern is so attracted to Dakota Johnson that he wouldn't be able to keep his composure if she had a wardrobe malfunction in front of him.

"I was determined to keep the interview going and not stop and fix it because it was kind of interesting and a little bit different."

Jimmy Kimmel's wife, Molly McNearney, who is a writer and producer on Jimmy Kimmel Live! admitted that she believed he should have stopped the interview in order to allow Dakota to fix her dress. Ultimately, she believes her husband did the right thing.

"It was more interesting," she admitted.

Jimmy also explained how he was confused by Dakota Johnson's dress.

"You should have seen me trying to figure out how that dress worked," Jimmy Kimmel said to his friend on The Stern Show. "It was very confusing because nothing was connecting it in the front. And I couldn't figure out how it was connected at all."

Howard Stern then asked Jimmy Kimmel if he felt that Dakota Johnson had a wardrobe malfunction on purpose.

"Do you ever think, because show business is an interesting business, that it was contrived? That she made it so it would break apart in the interview.?"

Howard Stern's wife, Beth, immediately supported the theory. The radio legend then claimed that he too believed that Dakota Johnson had a wardrobe malfunction on purpose in order to get ratings and help promote her film, Daddio. But Jimmy Kimmel doesn't think there's any legitimacy behind the thought.

"No," Kimmel said.

While this may have been enough to convince Howard and Beth, the radio legend's longtime co-host, Robin Quivers, thought Dakota did it on purpose.

"It was contrived," Robin stated without hesitancy.

Whether Dakota Johnson's wardrobe malfunction was fake or not, there's no question that Jimmy Kimmel thought it was great television. It's even more obvious that Howard Stern sure enjoyed it.
