In a recent episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, Nikki Haley, who is currently running for office, faced criticism for using one of the show’s popular segments, Mean Tweets. Kimmel expressed his surprise and frustration at Haley’s use of their content without permission, particularly because she added a fake laugh track. Kimmel jokingly threatened to take legal action and even mentioned the possibility of hiring Rudy Giuliani as his lawyer.
The conversation then shifted to the topic of Donald Trump‘s eligibility to run for president. The Supreme Court heard arguments on whether Trump should be disqualified from running due to his involvement in the insurrection on January 6th. Trump defended himself by claiming it wasn’t an insurrection and that he didn’t incite it. Kimmel humorously pointed out the irony of Trump accusing Nancy Pelosi of plotting the insurrection.
Next, Kimmel discussed Ted Cruz‘s proposal of new legislation that aims to make it harder for politicians to get stopped at airports. Cruz suggested that lawmakers should receive security escorts and expedited screening when traveling due to serious security threats. Kimmel sarcastically remarked that Cruz must be concerned about someone taking a picture of him without shoes at security and discovering his hooves. Kimmel also mentioned Cruz’s previous scandal of going to Cancun during a major power outage in Texas.
The article then took a lighthearted turn, discussing a peculiar crime in Morganton, North Carolina, where a man was charged with “molesting a fire extinguisher.” Kimmel found the charge absurd and jokingly questioned whether the accused had the face of someone who would do such a thing.
Moving on to the upcoming Super Bowl, Kimmel mentioned the San Francisco 49ers being favored over the Kansas City Chiefs. He also highlighted the famous prognosticating pugs, Ella and Patun, who have accurately predicted seven winners in a row. However, this year they remained silent on their prediction.
Kimmel humorously talked about Taylor Swift‘s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, who plays for the Chiefs. He jokingly suggested that there might be a bet for their wedding during the Super Bowl. He then shifted to the 49ers quarterback, Brock Pie, who was the last pick in the NFL draft but is now starting in the Super Bowl. Kimmel jokingly connected him to Lee Harvey Oswald, pointing out their similarities in age and statistics.
The article then mentioned some funny moments from Super Bowl media night, including a reporter named G asking unusual questions to players and coaches. G asked Travis Kelce about Disneyland and Christian McCaffrey about sleeping without underwear. These light-hearted interactions added humor to the article.
Overall, this episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live provided entertainment, insightful commentary, and a dose of humor, making it a must-watch for talk show enthusiasts.
