00:00We have named one of the rooms of the Heart Institute floor in honor of Billy.

00:05Alan DeGeneres surprised 2018 Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel with a special gift on her Monday show.

00:10Since first announcing that his son Billy was born with congenital heart disease last May,

00:14Kimmel has continued to publicly discuss his child's health on his late night show.

00:19In doing so, Kimmel often gets emotional, especially when making pleas for health care reform in Billy's name

00:24or thanking the doctors and nurses who treated him.

00:27Kimmel has also teared up while delivering monologues about a number of tragedies,

00:31most recently the school shooting in Parkland, Florida.

00:33Kimmel told DeGeneres,

00:37Now, DeGeneres and her viewers had previously raised $1 million for Children's Hospital Los Angeles

00:42when Kimmel's son was undergoing heart surgery.

00:44On her Monday show, the daytime host revealed she had a surprise for him, saying,

00:52DeGeneres then announced they had named a room on the Heart Institute floor in honor of Billy.

00:57This was Kimmel's reaction.

01:03Kimmel also spoke about hosting Sunday's Oscars during the appearance, saying,

01:07This is a weird year because there are a lot of very serious things happening.

01:11Of course, the Oscars are still several days away.

01:13Who knows what's going to happen between now and then?

01:15He also clarified once again that the whole envelope thing was not his fault.

01:19In an appearance on Good Morning America on Tuesday,

01:21Kimmel admitted that he still doesn't know how the mix-up even happened.

01:25And while he thinks it would be funny if it happened again,

01:27Kimmel said Oscars showrunners are taking precautions this year.

01:31Pricewaterhouse's Coopers will literally have to go out of business if they do it a second time.

01:36So I think they're going to be very, very careful.

01:38The same could be said for how Kimmel plans to approach topics such as the Me Too movement

01:42and Time's Up initiative.

01:43When ABC News' Paula Faris asked if he would address the movement, he said,

01:47Kimmel continued by saying that any jokes he makes are not going to stop any bad behavior.

02:10And as for his joke writing process, he revealed this.

02:13I have now whittled it down to probably 500 jokes.

02:17So by hopefully the end of next week, I'll have whittled that down to 100 jokes.

02:22The host said he'll likely narrow the list down to 30 jokes by showtime.
