(KTNV) -- Baseball's bad boy Bryce Harper sat down with talk show host Jimmy Kimmel Tuesday night to answer a couple of "clown questions."

Harper is coming off a huge season with the Washington Nationals.

Harper grew up in the Las Vegas valley and attended Las Vegas High School and College of Southern Nevada.

Jimmy Kimmel also grew up in the Las Vegas valley.

The two of them talked about some of the myths about living here on the show.

Harper's main reason for being there was to talk about baseball. He is the 2012 National League Rookie of the Year.

And, he is also the youngest person ever named to the All-Star Team after a phenomenal breakout season.

He even coined a catch phrase -- "That's a clown question, bro" -- that made it all the way to Capitol Hill when Sen. Harry Reid used it during a press conference.
