TwitterFacebook

Less than a day after Oprah’s powerful speech at the Golden Globes had everyone calling on her to run for president in 2020, at least one celeb known to get political, Jimmy Kimmel, is on board.

Speaking at the Television Critics Association (TCA) winter press tour, Kimmel said he had no plans to run for office himself and then addressed his pal amazing Oprah’s speech.

Noting the friendly audience Oprah got to play to, Kimmel indicated he’d be all about supporting an Oprah 2020 run — with one caveat. Read more…

Jimmy Kimmel slams ‘absolutely despicable’ decision to end net neutrality

TwitterFacebook

First, Jimmy Kimmel slammed the government over not funding children’s healthcare. Now, like many Americans, he’s angry about the death of net neutrality

“The FCC did something absolutely despicable today,” he said Thursday on Jimmy Kimmel Live! “They voted to put an end to net neutrality.”

“Internet service providers will be allowed to slow down or block web traffic to any website or streaming service they like,” he explained, “which benefits the big telecom companies, and does the opposite for all of us.”

He then urged lawmakers to pass legislation restoring net neutrality — which might not be in the cards considering ISPs donated $101 million to sitting members of Congress, according to The Verge.  Read more…

2017 was the year late night grew up, and we did too

TwitterFacebook

In an earlier, better time, late night was the place where smart comics got to write mostly meaningless jokes about transitory crap. 

Ah, what an era. 

2017 didn’t change all of that — there will always, sadly, be space in our culture for James Corden sing-a-longs — but it did force late night comics to lean in one two directions. Either they could take the easy breezy hair-fluffing Jimmy Fallon road and be ridiculed by rose emojis on Twitter, or they could go the Jimmy Kimmel route and wonk it out on national television.

Most chose the latter, to the benefit of their profit margins and ratings and sometimes, even, get ready for it — the American people.  Read more…

George Clooney has a very good reason for wanting a moose for a pet

TwitterFacebook

Moose don’t tend to make popular pet choices, but George Clooney is here to fight their corner.

“Think of all the things you get from a moose,” Clooney tells Jimmy Kimmel in the clip above. “It’s a mobile coatrack; ‘Hey moose, bring me my coat’.”

For context, Clooney isn’t just randomly waffling on about moose — it’s all part of Kimmel’s “3 Ridiculous Questions” segment, which sees Clooney talking about everything from moose to which other famous George he’d most like to be.

His deadpan expression throughout the entire thing is what makes it. Read more…

Jimmy Kimmel returns with his little son Billy, after his second heart surgery

TwitterFacebook

Jimmy Kimmel’s son Billy, who was born with congenital heart disease and who has been at the center of the talk show host’s arguments around U.S. healthcare, had his second open heart surgery last week. So, Kimmel brought him on Monday’s show.

Kimmel has taken time off during Billy’s surgery, instead inviting guest hosts Chris Pratt, Melissa McCarthy, Tracee Ellis Ross and Neil Patrick Harris to keep the seat warm.

Billy’s surgery was a roaring success, and Kimmel thanked the doctors and nurses at the Children’s Hospital LA for his son’s treatment. “Daddy cries on TV but Billy doesn’t,” said a tearful Kimmel during his opening monologue. Read more…
