Tonight on Jimmy Kimmel Live, it was an Oscars edition that broke the news and had everyone talking. The talk show host wasted no time in getting straight to the point, jokingly telling the “sad wretched normals” in the audience to clear out, making way for the glamorous and beautiful people of Hollywood.
One of the highlights of the show was a hilarious segment where Jimmy asked celebrities about the movies they didn’t see and what that says about them. Of course, the color purple came up, with one guest praising the film as brilliant.
But it wasn’t just about the Oscars and the red carpet hits and misses. Jimmy couldn’t resist pulling off his famous Hollywood hot dog prank. This classic joke involved an uncooked hot dog topped with pickles, sardines, and tartar sauce, served to unsuspecting celebrities as an “award wiener.” It’s safe to say that some took the prank better than others.
As the night went on, Jimmy had the chance to interview some incredible stars, including the legendary Tony Bennett, right-wing extremist John Boy, the late great Ed Asner, Annette Benning, and Snoop Dogg. The lineup was star-studded and offered a wide range of interviews with some of the industry’s most notable names.
Jimmy also took a moment to honor the real stars of the industry – the audience. He acknowledged that while we celebrate the celebrities, it’s the people who go to see these movies that truly make them successful.
To end the show on a high note, Jimmy brought out uranium as a playful nod to the Oppenheimer film. The audience was encouraged to lift their uranium and say “Oppenheimer” as a lighthearted way to celebrate the movie.
Overall, tonight’s Oscars edition of Jimmy Kimmel Live was filled with laughter, surprises, and unforgettable moments. The talk show host once again proved his ability to entertain and engage both his guests and the audience.
