Jimmy Kimmel has a request for Kanye West when he appears on his show on Friday.

He'd love Yeezus to read some mean tweets!

"I wonder if we've ever asked him," Kimmel told me on the Austin set of Jimmy Kimmel Live (he's doing all of his shows from SXSW this week). "We'll definitely ask him."

But then again, we all know how unpredictable Mr. West could be.

"Maybe we'll run it by Kim first," Kimmel said. "She seems more relaxed with that sort of thing."

Kimmel actually isn't sure if Kim is jetting to Texas with her husband.

"I don't know who's coming along but they do have the baby," he said. "I brought my baby. It's one thing to hang around Austin and stay out late. It's another thing when the baby wakes up at 6:45. I don't know if you could hear, but it's already taken a toll on my voice."

Other guests for his SXSW week include Matthew McConaughey, Brad Paisley, Tony Romo, Kevin Hart, Willie Nelson and more.

It was just last Thursday when Sean Penn made headlines after he admitted that he and Charlize Theron are Bachelor fans during an appearance on Kimmel.

"He suddenly, in the middle of our interview, asked if I'm Team Britt or Team Kaitlyn," Kimmel said. "I was like, 'What? What's going on?'…I didn't realize how many people watch the show until I was on it. A lot of people are very caught up in a random farmer from Iowa's love life."

And while Kimmel recently told Entertainment Weekly that Ben Affleck comes to house for TV nights to watch Game of Thrones, he's not too sure Penn will be doing the same with The Bachelor.

"He's certainly welcome to come over," Kimmel said with a laugh. "I can't imagine anything more embarrassing than sitting there watching The Bachelor with Sean Penn. I think I'd be ashamed of myself. I'd be ashamed of him. I'd just be disappointed in everyone."
