Late night host Jimmy Kimmel says he is a big fan of Uber, the ride sharing smartphone app. But instead of always experiencing his Uber rides in the backseat, Kimmel said he wanted to move up to the driver's seat.

Kimmel registered as an Uber driver and began picking up people in Los Angeles.

One lucky Uber passenger, Eric, got the "best Uber ride ever" from Kimmel. Eric is a dental student from Gabon and he was planning on heading back home to Africa. Kimmel decided to take him shopping for some tacky Hollywood souvenirs for his family members before dropping him at home.
