Jimmy Kimmel enjoyed seeing his “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” sidekick Guillermo Rodriguez test out his moves on “Dancing With the Stars,” but he’s pretty adamant he himself won’t be following suit on the show.

“No, no, no,” Kimmel, 58, said, speaking exclusively to Page Six at the LA Loves Alex’s Lemonade Stand event on Saturday in Los Angeles, when asked if he would ever enter the ballroom. “I would not.”

That said, Kimmel told us he was “very proud” of Rodriguez, 55, who was eliminated during Week 5 of the “Dancing With the Stars” current season.

“I’ve never seen him work harder at anything. Or I’ve never even seen him work hard before,” Kimmel quipped, adding that it was “exciting” to watch.

Rodriguez and his pro partner, Witney Carson, were sent home during the show’s first-ever “Super Bowl Night” on Oct. 13, after dancing a salsa to “Tití Me Preguntó” by Bad Bunny.

Their performance received a total score of 22/40 from judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli — plus guest judge Joe Buck — putting them at the bottom of the leaderboard.

“I had a lot of fun. It was great,” Rodriguez said after his elimination. “Witney, I love you for teaching me how to dance.”

Carson, who is pregnant with her third child, thanked Rodriguez for “making this season just so fun, so enjoyable,” and praised him for taking care of her “throughout this entire season.”

Kimmel gave us his thoughts on appearing at the Alex’s Lemonade Stand event, noting that the foundation, which works to raise money for childhood cancer research, has his full support because “this is an organization that really does a lot to help those kids and their parents, and there’s nothing more important than that.”

Kimmel has been involved with the charity for years. He is no stranger to the challenges of childhood illnesses, as his own son, Billy, 9, has battled health issues, having overcome a congenital heart condition and undergone numerous surgeries at his young age.

Kimmel told us that Billy is currently “doing great” and was having fun at a cousin’s birthday party at the time of the interview.

New episodes of “DWTS” air Tuesdays at 8 p.m. Eastern on ABC and Disney+, and stream on Hulu the following day.
