Jimmy made his return last night, and held his adorable baby boy close to him. “I was out last week – because this guy had heart surgery. But look he’s fine everybody, he may have pooped but he’s fine,” he told the viewers and audience as he held back tears. “Daddy cries on TV but Billy doesn’t… it’s unbelievable.”
