Veatrice Rice (October 1, 1949 – January 21, 2009) was a nurse turned security guard turned television personality, best known for her appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, where she served as a sidekick for comedian Jimmy Kimmel.[2] Born in Atlanta, Georgia, and raised in Bowling Green, Kentucky, Rice worked as a parking lot security guard in the building where Jimmy Kimmel Live! is taped. With the two other security guards on staff at the program, she performed in a variety of skits and the recurring segment "Worst Team on Television".[3] Veatrice was characterized by her wry, sarcastic demeanor, with quiet moments punctuated by outbursts of obscene language.[4]

Rice died of cancer[5] on January 21, 2009. A montage of some of her funniest moments was played in her honor on Jimmy Kimmel Live! the following day.[6]
