Foo Fighters’ leader Dave Grohl guest presented the Jimmy Kimmel Live show last night for a Halloween special

Grohl dressed up as TV host David Letterman for the occasion and after interviewing actor Kristen Bell, who appeared with Magnum PI-style moustache and chest hair, Bell sang her song Do You Want To Build A Snowman? from Disney movie Frozen.

Grohl then appeared behind a drum kit and the pair launched into a cover of Metallica classic Enter Sandman with Kimmel’s house band.
