Bruno Mars Pranks Nurse on 'Ellen' [Video]
It's nice to see Bruno Mars has a great sense of humor.
The singer recently stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show and participated in one of her many pranks. On this episode he "has to say whatever I tell him to say," Ellen told her audience. "Bruno when she comes in, first thing say 'thanks for coming and do you mind taking off your shoes?'" And the jokes began.
DeGeneres has had plenty of celeb guest take on his role as they fool an unsuspecting victim, but this was by far one of the funniest. As time went on, he claimed to be unable to swallow and gave outburst of cries.
Does Bruno have a future in acting?

Jeremiah Watkins is heralded as the comedian for making Judd Apatow fall in love with comedy again, and that's a direct quote from Judd himself! You may know him as 1/3 of The Wave from Comedy Central's Roast Battle, as Moshpit (a roadie/hypeman) in The Comedy Jam, or as 1/2 of the musical comedy super-duo Regan and Watkins during Kill Tony, the #1 Live Podcast in the world.

The Comedy Store is also the home for his wildly popular live show Stand-Up On The Spot, which just came off a hit run of shows at Montreal's Just For Laughs Comedy Festival and was named by GQ Magazine as one of the "5 Funniest Nights in America." Since moving to LA from Kansas, he has established himself as one of the most physical stand-up comedians in Los Angeles with his high energy and off-the-cuff style. He placed 2nd in the 2015 Big Sky Comedy Festival, and has performed at Just for Laughs, Bonnaroo, Outside Lands, TBS's New York Comedy Festival, South by Southwest, Riot LA, Moontower, and many other festivals throughout the country. Other film and tv appearances include: Jimmy Kimmel Live, Comedy Central's The Comedy Jam, Big Jay Oakerson's What's Your F@%king Deal?! on Seeso, star of the the film i-Lived (available on HULU), supporting in the film The Bet (available on Prime), and he can also be seen in the season 2 finale of HBO's Crashing with Pete Holmes. He is a graduate of the Second City, has trained at The Groundlings, and has performed improv all over Los Angeles. No matter what size the audience, Jeremiah Watkins guarantees a memorable show experience like you've never seen before.
