Like other celebs, Charlie was asked to come up with a rider request for items to help him feel comfortable backstage at concerts and while he waits to appear on TV shows. Since he loves dogs, he always asks for a"medium-sized dog" complete with leash and dog bowl, along with water, string cheese and other edibles, snacks and essentials. But the request is usually ignored and passed off as a joke item by those responsible. However Jimmy Kimmel thought it would be fun to grant his guest his backstage wish, and he asked a production assistant to bring his dog, Henry, to work for the day.
Charlie was thrilled as he hung out with the bulldog, telling the host, "You're actually the only show that's ever gotten me my rider dog. I throw it on there (rider list) just because, you know, what the hell... You go the extra mile."
But Jimmy made it clear Charlie wouldn't be able to take Henry with him when he left the show.
