The show featured an appearance from the ex-Grey’s Anatomy leading man, 57, while the cover of the issue was shown.
In a segment on the late night show, Kimmel used ‘cutting-edge hologram technology from our friends at proto’ and disguised the identity of the person named Sexiest Man Alive, later revealed to be Dempsey.
In a 20 questions format, audience members asked the mystery man questions in trying to pare down the possible candidates for the honor.
The questions revealed that the person was an actor who is older than 50 and is married with three children.
