I never heard of Jimmy Kimmel before that first video was posted 2 days ago..

I don't watch late night TV. Most importantly, his videos have informed hundreds of thousands of people about what liars the Republicans are. It is so easy to understand the way he presents it with his son's condition. He does not talk down to the audience, he talks with the audience. He is sharing, not talking down. His help on this fight is terrific. A +++++++ for Jimmy Kimmel and an award for helping millions to keep their health insurance.....

Its reboot by the new hosts...well, sucked. It deserved to be canceled and it was a frat boy show.

Adam and Jimmy made it a satire on frat boy hi-jinks, going by memory, but they even had an "applause sign" for the audience that said "applause you idiots"..or was it dumb fucks?

Many Dumper types didn't pick up on the fact they were being made fun of.

She is Thai and you never know what English language shows will make her laugh. Man Show ranked up there with Benny Hill and Mr. Bean. I couldn't stand Adam Corolla but now when we watch Kimmel she says "I told you he was a genius", something that would be a revelation to Kimmel himself, lol.

I've been a long-time fan of Kimmel's political comedy, along with Colbert's. Kimmel has a sincere heart.
I don't care for Jimmy Falon's silly late night, funfest (yawn).

Not just because of his own son, but because that weasel Cassidy used the term "the Jimmy Kimmel test." Once he started saying that his health plan would pass that test, Jimmy Kimmel almost had to jump in or risk appearing that he agrees with Cassidy.

And it can't be hammered home enough that there's no adult in the world less knowledgeable about anything than Donald Trump. Though a great many members of Congress are giving it a try.
