Justin Moore’s “Devil Stool” Skit from “Jimmy Kimmel Live” Earns Emmy Nomination [Watch]

If the measure of a man is his sense of humor, consider Justin Moore 10 feet tall.

Justin showed off his zany sense of humor on Jimmy Kimmel Live last year by singing a cautionary tale, “The Ballad of Claus Jorstad (Devil Stool),” about a Norwegian man who claimed he, well, got one of his family jewels stuck in an IKEA shower stool.

The skit, which was written by Jimmy and Gary Greenberg, recently earned an Emmy nomination in the Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics category.

“If you had told me I would be a part of earning an Emmy nod for singing a song about what I did, I would have thought you were crazy,” said Justin. “Nonetheless, it’s very cool to hear. I’m excited for Jimmy and his crew. Hopefully, we can bring it home. They told me this week they would share it with me, so it would be pretty cool to add an Emmy to the mantle.”
