When Jenna Dewan was 19, she got her dream job as a touring back-up dancer for Janet Jackson. The World of Dance host gushed about the experience during a recent interview with Jimmy Kimmel.

"She was a great boss, she was a very generous boss. She would give us, like, amazing gifts," she recalled. "I have a blinged-out diamond watch, which, by the way, should everything go away, I'm like, 'I could sell this watch!'"

However, there was one particular gift that made the young dancer raise an eyebrow.

"On Valentine's Day—and mind you, I'm 19, on tour with Janet, so I'm like, baby, baby, baby naive—she gives you, like, a box of vibrators," she remembered. "Like, a pleasure chest. All the dancers [got a box]. But still, I was like, 'What is this??' I was, mind blown."

Dewan went on to explain how she got the job of a lifetime.

"I came out to L.A. I was going to college, and then I auditioned for her video, and then she came into the room one day, and was like, 'Um, everyone can leave. Jenna, can you stay?' And I was like, 'Uhhh, am I being fired? Like what's going on here,'” the 37-year-old explained. “She walks in, she was like, 'Do you wanna go on tour with me?' And I just freaked out. You know, that was my dream job."
