On a recent episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, the talk show host didn’t hold back as he delved into a variety of topics. From the release of the JFK files to Elon Musk‘s plea for sympathy, Kimmel had plenty to say.
Starting with the highly anticipated release of the JFK files, Kimmel didn’t seem too impressed. Despite reading all 64,000 pages, Kimmel noted that not much new information was revealed. In fact, the files only seemed to confirm the widely held belief that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. Kimmel even jokingly mentioned that Ted Cruz’s father is now off the hook. However, what seemed to amuse Kimmel the most was the chaotic disorganization of the files. Apparently, Trump surprised his own team by announcing the release just 24 hours beforehand, leaving National security officials scrambling to make sense of it all.
But the JFK files were not the only conspiracy on Kimmel’s mind. He also shared his fascination with an imaginary college called Gonzaga University. Kimmel humorously pointed out that the only evidence of this supposedly real school is its basketball team. A video from 1984 was shown to prove that Gonzaga University may not be as real as it claims. Kimmel questioned why the school only seemed to come to life during basketball season and why a Google search only yields basketball videos. All jokes aside, Kimmel admitted that he was falling for the charade once again.
Moving on from conspiracy theories, Kimmel addressed a more serious matter – the measles outbreak. With over 300 reported cases in Texas and New Mexico alone, Kimmel highlighted the importance of vaccination. He even brought out two individuals diagnosed with measles to emphasize the seriousness of the situation. Despite their illness, the two individuals remained in good spirits, demonstrating the resilience of the human spirit.
Elon Musk also made an appearance in Kimmel’s monologue, but not for positive reasons. Kimmel discussed instances of Tesla vandalism, including swastikas painted on Teslas and even incidents of arson. Kimmel expressed his concern, emphasizing that such actions not only harm the environment but also put lives at risk. He urged Musk to recognize the impact of his actions and urged others to denounce this behavior.
Switching gears, Kimmel turned his attention to Steve Bannon, who seemed to be advocating for Trump to run for a third term. Kimmel playfully engaged in a conversation about the possibility of Trump’s face being added to Mount Rushmore. He sent a team to the Florida Panhandle to gauge Trump supporters’ opinions, and the responses were varied. Some were enthusiastic about the idea, while others felt it was unnecessary. Kimmel injected humor throughout, highlighting the absurdity of the proposal.
As the monologue came to a close, Kimmel ended with a final jab at Trump’s presidency, expressing his skepticism about making it through four years or potentially longer. The audience was left pondering how the next few years would unfold, hoping for some relief from the constant dramas that seemed to dominate the news.
In true Jimmy Kimmel fashion, this lively and entertaining monologue covered a range of topics, from conspiracies to serious health issues and even a touch of political satire. Kimmel’s sharp wit kept the audience engaged, offering a fresh perspective on current events and leaving viewers eager for more episodes of Jimmy Kimmel Live with its signature blend of humor and commentary.
