On Monday, Kimmel revealed that he was the evil genius behind the staged video and interviewed the young star of "Twerk Fail," Daphne Avalon. She's a stunt woman and Jimmy Kimmel is Keyser Soze.

Jimmy Kimmel explains that they filmed the video months ago and uploaded it to YouTube. But, instead of tweeting it out or sending it to people, they just let it sit there and waited for the Internet to get its grubby hands on it. Then magic happened.

We're not worthy, Jimmy. We're. Not. Worthy.
