Kimmel asked Benedict Cumberbatch to try out different names and while he struggled to hold back laughing, the Oscar nominated actor (he’s up for Best Actor for The Imitation Game this year) did make his way through over a dozen new names including our favorites Bane/Batman, Queen Latifah, Groot, Inigo Montoya, and $5 Footlong.
