She may be just a girl, but Gwen Stefani<\/a><\/strong>‘s Las Vegas residency<\/a> is no solo act. <\/p>\n

So when word got out that she was in need of backup dancers, inspiration struck Jimmy Kimmel<\/a><\/strong>. “It’s a big production and it requires big talent,” he explained on last night’s Jimmy Kimmel Live<\/em>. “When the notice went out, we sent in the biggest little ball of talent we know to try out to be part of the Just A Girl<\/em> tour.” And that lucky person just happened to be his trusted sidekick<\/a>, Guillermo Rodriguez<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Over at the dance studio, Guillermo walked in confident as ever. When Gwen asked if he’s there for the audition, he quickly shut her down. “Honey, I don’t audition,” he quipped. “I’m a legend. Here’s my resume and I hear you like bananas<\/a>, organic.” He handed her a piece of fruit then, with a sweet escape<\/a> out of his sweatsuit, revealed a gold, sparkly “Rich Girl” tank top.<\/p>\n

“He definitely has a different look from anyone in our show,” the understandably confused Voice<\/a><\/em> coach<\/a> said to the camera. “That’s a good thing.” <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Alas, he stumbled through the rehearsal\u2014”I’m dancing like no one is watching,” he said. To which Gwen instructed, “You should start dancing like everyone is watching!”\u2014and didn’t make the cut.<\/p>\n

But Guillermo had no doubt<\/a>. He knows he’s talented!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“That was bulls–t,” he said, walking up to Gwen. “Before I leave, I want to tell you something. I might not be a great dancer, but I have a big heart, a big belly, a big butt. And I think you guys are making a big mistake.”<\/p>\n

His speech did the trick and he inevitably scored a spot in her dance crew. “I cannot believe they fell for that speech,” he laughed in a confessional. “Dumbasses!”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Which then brought us to the Zappos Theater in Las Vegas! “God help me,” he prayed backstage before walking out in a banana costume for for “Hollaback Girl.”<\/p>\n

His performance was, well…allow Guillermo to explain. “That went really bad,” he confessed afterwards. “I think Gwen Stefani is mad at me. But I tried by best!”<\/p>\n

And, really, that’s all we could ask for. See for yourself in the video above!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
