The show focused on her flipping abilities and her tour with other gymnasts. However, they discussed a pizza that Kimmel wasn’t particularly a fan of.

Head over heels for his meal, Jimmy thanked Biles, making a hilarious promise as a token of appreciation for her suggestion.
He said, “I am going to shower you, there are gonna be pizzas stacked up, I’d say higher than you but that’s not that many pizzas.”
