Kanye West Offered Porn Deal After Porn Site Shout-Out on "Jimmy Kimmel"

Kanye West Talks Trump, Kim and (Lots Of) Porn with Jimmy Kimmel
Kanye West sat down for an interview with Jimmy Kimmel on Thursday night, August 9.
And, you may not believe this, but the rapper often rambled, raved and made little to no sense.
During a fascinating/depressing 11-plus minute chat, Kanye discussed nearly everything… from his love for President Donald Trump; to porn; to his Bipolar diagnosis.
This was the first time West appeared and talked in public since he expressed affection for Trump and also said black people chose to be slaves.
When Kimmel asked Kanye how he felt about Kardashian meeting Trump on behalf of a 62-year-old great-grandmother who was jailed for 22 years, the artist said he was proud.
“She’s super passionate about it and it was amazing for her to see that dream come true,” West told Kimmel.
Fair enough.
But was Kanye worried that a hornball such as Trump would make a move on his wife?
Yes, “he is a player,” West said to a round of applause.
Still, he"s a player Kanye respects for some reason.
"When I see people just even like go at the president, it"s like, why not try love," he asked like a moron, adding:
"One by one by one, we can diffuse this nuclear bomb of hate of society by thinking of everyone as our family and how we treat our kids."
Kimmel tried to use simple reason and logic with West in response to the rapper"s nonsense:
"I think that"s a beautiful thought, but just in literal terms, there are families being torn apart at the border of this country… as a result of what this president is doing.
"And I think we cannot forget that, whether we like personality or not, his actions are really what matter.
"You so famously said, "George Bush doesn"t care about black people." It makes me wonder what makes you think Donald Trump does, or [cares about] any people at all?"
To this question, Kanye said… nothing.
For real! Kimmel managed to leave the superstar literally speechless.
After a commercial break, the subject matter shifted from Trump to pornography, with West saying his views on women had NOT changed since becoming a father of some young ones.
"I still look at Pornhub," West confessed.
Kanye then gushed over favorite category of adult videos, which he says are those that feature interracial couples because they reflect his reality.
We"re not joking. This really happened.
Watch the video featured here to see the exchange for yourself!

Jimmy Kimmel Compares Donald Trump to... Taylor Swift?!?
Note to Jimmy Kimmel:
Hasn"t Taylor Swift been through enough of late?
Isn"t it sufficient that her wildly anticipated new studio album sort of tanked? Or that she was snubbed by the MTV Video Music Awards?
Did you really need to drag her name so deeply through the mud by comparing her to President Donald Trump?
This unexpected statement came during Kimmel"s monologue on Wednesday night, as he mocked Trump for how he handled his press conference with Vladimir Putin.
How he"s handled America"s entire relationship with Russia, really.
"It’s all very crazy. And yet, with all of this Moscow madness happening, according to a new poll from Reuters, 71 percent of Republican voters have a favorable view of how Trump has been dealing with Russia," Kimmel said, adding:
"Which is nuts, but I was thinking about this today and I think there’s a simple explanation for it."
This was his explanation:
"They might not like what he’s doing, they might not like him, but they love how pissed off it makes Democrats and so they want it to keep happening," he reasoned.
Kimmel is not the first person to basically say Trump and his base care more about owning the liberals than anything else.
But he is the first person, as far as we know, to then say Trump is akin to Swift.
"Trump kept his base going — by calling out his ‘haters’ today on Twitter," Kimmel said. "He’s the Taylor Swift of treason. He really is."
The Taylor Swift of treason. LOL.
This were the Tweets to which Kimmel was referring:
"So many people at the higher ends of intelligence loved my press conference performance in Helsinki. Putin and I discussed many important subjects at our earlier meeting. We got along well which truly bothered many haters who wanted to see a boxing match. Big results will come!"
"Some people HATE the fact that I got along well with President Putin of Russia. They would rather go to war than see this. It’s called Trump Derangement Syndrome!"
Swift is yet to respond to this semi-dig.
Kimmel, meanwhile, wasn"t done with Trump.
"If it is a syndrome named after Trump, I assume it"s sexually transmitted," Kimmel quipped. "Fortunately help is on the way."
Check out the monologue and Swift reference above!

Andy Dick Groped Ivanka Trump in Resurfaced Jimmy Kimmel Footage
Of all of the men named in #MeToo stories, Andy Dick was the least surprising to many folks. Yes, including Harvey Weinstein.
And now, the world can see for themselves in newly resurfaced video from 2007.
On television — on Jimmy Kimmel, in fact — Andy Dick reaches over and gropes Ivanka before getting removed by security.
Andy Dick is a comedian and actor. Unfortunately, he has been accused of groping a number of people.
Despite his dismissive attitude towards those claims, he has been let go from projects because of it.
(Don"t touch people without their consent, folks)
Now, an old clip of Andy exhibiting inappropriate touching has surfaced.
He and Ivanka Trump were both guests of Jimmy Kimmel"s in 2007. And Andy couldn"t — or rather, he simply refused to — keep his hands to himself.
In the clip, Andy can be seen reaching over and running his finger"s along Ivanka"s leg.
Kimmel tells him to stop.
Ivanka, though trying to laugh it off at the time (and clearly looking over to Kimmel to make sure that he has noticed), tries to get him to stop.
Eventually, Andy was removed by security.
Kimmel would later suggest that Andy, who has been to rehab more than a dozen times in his struggle for sobriety, was under the influence.
Andy actually reminded his followers about this incident by posting about it in December of 2017.
"The time I "groped" Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, on Jimmy Kimmel Live," he writes.
"Her legs were sparkling," he says, as if to explain. "And I was trying to see if the glitter would wipe off."
That curiosity is understandable. Acting on it is not excusable.
"I also mistakenly thought she would date me," he says.
Wow.
"I was jokingly carried off by security," Andy says.
Maybe half-jokingly.
"Is anybody going to carry Trump off?" Andy asked in December. "No joke. Confusing times."
This is a transparent attempt to deflect from his own actions.
See, a lot of people would like to see Donald Trump impeached and tried for his misconduct and alleged crimes.
But trying to distract from your own behavior by pointing to someone else"s is called whataboutism.
Ivanka Trump may be her father"s daughter, but that doesn"t mean that it"s open season on any of her body parts.
Andy Dick has been dismissive of allegations against him, saying that he never touched people"s genitals and perhaps licked some people"s faces.
His implication was that it"s all part of his brand.
Folks, "it"s all part of the act" does not fly when we"re talking about sexual harassment or sexual assault.
If the other person does not consent, you are not entitled to touch them. Yes, even if their father is a bad, bad man.
Andy Dick may struggle with sobriety, and we wish him the best on his quest for good mental and physical health.
But everyone has their struggles. No one is entitled to invade another"s body without permission. Even if it"s covered in glitter.

Sean Hannity to Jimmy Kimmel: I Accept Your Forced Apology! Come on My Show!
After making some jokes that many viewed as homophobic, Jimmy Kimmel has apologized to the LGBT+ community.
And it appears that he"s trying to quash his long-running beef with Sean Hannity at the same time. And, as the video below shows, it may have worked.
Hannity appears to have accepted Kimmel"s apology — even though he calls it "forced" — and he"s even inviting Kimmel to his show.
After rehashing the back-and-forth that"s been going on between himself and Kimmel, Hannity says this of Kimmel"s apology:
"On the surface, to be honest, it feels more like a forced Disney corporate apology directed more towards the LBGTQ community rather than about Kimmel’s comments about the first lady."
He seems to be pretending to say "LGBTQ" awkwardly, as if he doesn"t read that acronym all of the time as part of his job, but whatever. His viewers will eat that up.
Hannity continues, saying:
"I believe everyone should accept apologies, that’s how I was raised, that’s what my religion teaches me, and I’m going to assume he’s sincere."
"But, from my perspective, I do really kind of enjoy a good fight, and I do agree with Jimmy in the sense that it’s time to move on."
Of course, Hannity knows where his bread is buttered, so he naturally pivots to a familiar topic for Trump fans.
"For me, it was never about Hannity vs. Jimmy Kimmel. It’s a lot bigger than that for me."
The man who once blasted Obama for ordering "fancy" mustard thinks that the media is being unfair to Trump. Honestly, that"s wild.
"Just the level of hatred, vitriol against this president and his family is frankly unprecedented, as we"ve been talking about all night tonight."
He also refers to "the media" as "wholly an extension of the Democratic Party," which is almost funny for a few reasons, saying:
"What"s even worse, we have this corrupt media industrial complex. We see it all working tonight."
Uh-huh.
Hannity then decides to extend and invitation.
"You seem sincere when you talk about healthcare. You seem sincere when you talk about the country."
Kimmel certainly is. The healthcare issue really touches him, as he"d never be able to afford care for his son if he weren"t rich.
"I want to extend an invitation. You wanna come on the show, I"ll promise: no name-calling, no anger."
That will be incredibly off-brand for Hannity. Also, it implies that he can reign in his anger.
"No rehashing of the Twitter fight. You want to have a serious discussion. We can talk about the President, his policies, healthcare, comedy, political correctness. …"
That would be … interesting.
As you may recall, Jimmy Kimmel and Sean Hannity have had some back-and-forth banter.
Hannity is sometimes regarded as the "last man standing" among long-running, big-name conservative mouthpieces at Fox News.
Kimmel has his late-night talk show on NBC and, like many Americans, blows off steam by poking fun at the endless three-ring circus known as the Trump Administration.
However, Kimmel sometimes would poke fun at Melania"s accent, something that many feel should be off-limits. She never asked to be First Lady, after all.
This sparked a crude back-and-forth between Hannity and Kimmel.
The very back-and-forth that escalated, with Kimmel"s jokes becoming homophobic and Hannity comparing Kimmel to an alleged rapist. Yikes.
When Kimmel suggested that Hannity and Trump were in a sexual relationship, he certainly intended for it to inflame and embarrass Hannity, who is not exactly known as a friend of the LGBT+ community.
But the results are homophobic. Calling someone gay to upset them is pretty blatantly homophobic, regardless of your intentions.
So it"s good that Jimmy apologized.
For the record, though, Sean Hannity used Jimmy Kimmel"s appearance on that gross and sexist The Man Show (and yes, it was, even at the time) to compare him to Harvey Weinstein.
Those women on that show signed up to be there. That"s a far cry from, you know, the women who accuse Harvey Weinstein of harassing, threatening, and raping them.
One worries that Hannity doesn"t understand the distinction between gross behavior (for a television role) that has been unlearned and unforgivable acts of predation.
Will he accept Hannity"s invitation? Some would wonder what the point could be. Hannity"s politics speak for themselves. Anyone still watching his show isn"t likely to be swayed.
The only likely result is the normalization of Hannity"s radically pro-Trump views and an undeserved ratings boost for Hannity.
Kind of hard to see what Kimmel has to gain from that. But he might go for it.
It"s worth noting that Hannity also threatens to further embarrass Kimmel if the latter decides to reignite their feud.
He apparently tasked producers to come up with, we"re guessing, a lot of dumb statements and awkward moments of him goggling at women on The Man Show.
Like Hannity, I agree that it would be nice to see fewer people take shots at Barron Trump, Melania Trump, and things like Trump"s typically American diet.
(I"m a guy who eats kale-and-chicken burgers when I "get a burger," but if someone wants to eat a bucket of KFC or whatever, more power to them)
There are so many totally fair targets for ridicule. For example, almost everything else about Donald Trump.

Jimmy Kimmel Apologizes to LGBT Community, Aims to Squash Beef with Sean Hannity
All Jimmy Kimmel is saying to Sean Hannity is…
… let’s give peace a chance.
Of course, this is not ALL Kimmel has been saying to Hannity, which is why the talk show host issued a lengthy statement on Twitter over the weekend.
Over the past several days, Kimmel and Hannity have been embroiled in quite a feud.
It started when the former made a few cracks about Melania Trump’s accent, which prompted Hannity to call Kimmel an “ass clown.”
(Kimmel had quipped about the First Lady pronouncing “this” as “dis” and setting a poor example for some school kids to whom she was reading.)
Kimmel made some jokes online in response, calling out Hannity for never exactly defending women or immigrants in the past, to which Hannity replied by playing clips of Kimmel as host of The Man Show many years ago.
He referred to Kimmel as “Harvey Weinstein Jr” and as a “pervert” for the way in which he interacted with women on this program back in the day.
From there, Kimmel made cracks about Hannity leaving lipstick on President Donald Trump’s rear end and wondering whether Hannity was a “top” or a “bottom” in his relationship with the Commander-in-Chief.
It was these jabs that, at least in part, have caued Kimmel to put an end to his back-and-forth with Hannity.
“By lampooning Sean Hannity’s deference to the President, I most certainly did not intend to belittle or upset members of the gay community and to those who took offense, I apologize,” wrote Kimmel, adding that he did “have fun” exchanging barbs with Hanniyu.
HOWEVER…
“After some thought I realize that the level of vitriol (mine and me included) does nothing good for anyone and, in fact, is harmful to our country.”
The comedian also touched on “vile attacks” against his wife and “wishes for death” on his infant son that he had received as a result of the exchange, expressing hope that the instigators would “give their words and actions thought.”
Tongue firmly planed in cheek at times, Kimmel got in a few shots at Hannity while still seeking to calm tempers, writing:
I will take Sean Hannity at his word that he was genuinely offended by what I believed and still believe to be a harmless and silly aside referencing our First Lady’s accent.
I am hopeful that Sean Hannity will learn from this too and continue his newly-found advocacy for women, immigrants and First Ladies and that he will triumph in his heroic battle against sexual harassment and perversion.”
Hannity did not respond to this statement with one of his own.
Not yet at least anyway.
“Just had this pop up. I am at a tournament with my daughter. I’ll have a full and comprehensive response tomorrow on Hannity. 9 EST FOX,” the Fox News veteran Tweeted on Sunday.
Even before this argument with Hannity, Kimmel was often a target of disdain from conservatives.
He has used his platform often of late to advocate for various causes, breaking down in tears at one point over a failure of Congress to pass gun control legislation.
Kimmel also pushed hard and emotionally for universal health care after his newborn son had to undergo emergency heart surgery last year.
You can watch Kimmel and his child together in the following video while the world anxiously waits to see if Hannity responds to Kimmel’s statement with class and maturity or…
… LOL, who are we kidding?
While we wait to see just how Hannity brags about how he clearly won this ongoing debate.

Ellen DeGeneres Gifts Jimmy Kimmel a Hospital Room Named in His Son"s Honor
There"s more to Jimmy Kimmel than interviews with Stormy Daniels or with The Bachelor favorite Bekah Martinez. He"s a husband and a father.
He"s opened up on his show about his son Billy"s serious congenital heart problems that require multiple surgeries.
As you"ll see in the sweet video below, Ellen DeGeneres has found a beautiful and meaningful way to honor his son"s health battle.
Jimmy Kimmel and Ellen DeGeneres affirm their friendship.
The two then discuss Jimmy Kimmel"s young son"s ongoing health battle. He was born with genetic heart disease.
Congenital heart problems can often be serious or even fatal, but Billy has undergone surgeries in an attempt to save his lie.
It"s hard on Jimmy Kimmel and his wife. It"s harder still on Billy.
When Ellen shares that she"s about to spring one of her famous surprises on Jimmy Kimmel, he looks genuinely surprised.
(Here, we see Jimmy Kimmel pinching his hand in an attempt to use acupressure to prevent himself for crying. Ellen tells him that the pressure point is for headaches. He"s so goofy)
As it turns out, the wonderful surprise that Ellen has for Jimmy and his family is that she"s had a hospital room named after Billy.
It is named in honor of him, not in memory — Billy is alive, folks.
It"s a sweet move. Cynical critics might describe it as an "empty gesture," but it"s not like Ellen can just magically heal Jimmy"s son. This is a sweet thing to do.
And Ellen had another surprise for Jimmy Kimmel — she had some of his son"s nurses from the hospital in the audience.
Jimmy Kimmel has brought his son onto the stage with him as he continues to share Billy"s health battle with audiences.
His candid sharing of that part of his life has made him one of the most vocal supporters of health care reform.
Many point to his moving, tearful monologues when they talk about the need for universal health care — that no one and especially no child should be condemned to die because they aren"t rich.
Jimmy Kimmel of course, is rich enough to afford his son"s treatments.
Any other family would have to try crowdsourcing or bankruptcy in an effort to save their baby"s life.
During his interview with Ellen, Jimmy Kimmel opens up about how emotional he gets.
As we mention, he shares that he sometimes pinches an acupressure point on his hand as an effort to hold back tears.
Ellen corrects him — acupressure points can sometimes have multiple purposes, but the point that he pinches to no avail is supposed to help with headache relief.
So, you know, no wonder that doesn"t work for him.
Also, his teary eyes are a refreshing dose of emotional honesty in a society that tries to tell men that they"re not supposed to cry.
As you can see in the video below, both Jimmy and Ellen are delights.
But you probably already knew that.
(Of course, people who think that Ellen DeGeneres is part of the "deep state" that the US doesn"t have in the first place probably think that Jimmy"s part of the same nonexistent organization)
Watch this sweet video — and hear Jimmy Kimmel"s anecdote of crying at someone else"s wedding when he worked as a DJ.

Stormy Daniels Discusses Her Trump Affair on Jimmy Kimmel
In what would have been a huge scandal for a normal presidency, Donald Trump is accused of having had an affair with a porn star and then paying her hush money out of his own campaign fund.
Stormy Daniels, however, is not at liberty to speak on what may or may not have happened. But that doesn"t prevent her from talking to Jimmy Kimmel.
You might think that an interview with someone under an NDA would be boring. As you"ll see in the video below, this interview is anything but.
The alleged affair took place in 2006, just months after the birth of his son, Barron. He had been married to Melania for a little over a year.
Though initial reports described only one sexual encounter, a later report on the details of "generic" sex with Trump revealed a lot — including that their relationship went on for months.
Also, Trump is terrified of sharks. Allegedly.
Stormy Daniels, who was born Stephanie Clifford, allegedly had to sign a non-disclosure agreement in exchange for $ 130,000 which was reportedly paid to her by Trump"s lawyer using funds from his 2016 Presidential campaign.
So, though she reportedly spoke about this years ago, she is not at liberty to confirm or deny … anything.
Despite that, this video below is one hell of an interview.
Fans of Trump who believe that this is all some sort of conspiracy to discredit Trump like to portray Stormy Daniels as some Leftist concoction.
(Which is silly. Discredit Trump? Anyone still giving credit to Trump is fine with everything he"s said and done since day one of his campaign, and probably cannot be reached by anything or anyone. He could eat a live puppy on television and they"d go "And YOU thought he didn"t like dogs!")
The reality, however, is that Stormy Daniels is someone who promoted Trump businesses (attending the launch of Trump Vodka, for example; one of his many failed enterprises).
She"s also — unbelievably — a big fan of Sarah Palin"s. Remember when Sarah Palin almost being Vice President was the worst thing that we could imagine? It turns out that she was just foreshadowing.
So she doesn"t quite fit the mold for a left-wing hero.
That said … she appears to have a great sense of humor.
We suppose that you have to know how to laugh if you"re one of the humans cursed with the knowledge of what Trump"s penis looks like.
And Stormy Daniels really shows off her sense of humor and wit in her interview with Jimmy Kimmel.
(Some may say that Jimmy Kimmel or someone else coached her with funny, non-disclosing replies to his questions ahead of time. Even if that"s the case, keeping her cool like she does is still impressive)
We can see why she says that her favorite show is Saturday Night Live. She"d be pretty good on an improv show.
And before you say that she"s not an actress, remember that she was a porn star, that she"s also a porn director, and that she was apparently able spend time with Trump without him being clued in to disgust.
And, in this video below, Stormy expresses some definite disgust.
One of the cutest moments is when Jimmy Kimmel holds up a Trump doll that looks like it belongs in a Chucky film, asking her to show him what she and Trump did together.
Rather than complying, she holds up a Stormy Daniels doll with tape over its mouth. Very cute.
Another funny moment is when Jimmy lays out three carrots of different sizes and tries to get Stormy to choose one (by which he means that he"s trying to get her divulge details about Trump"s penis).
Stormy abstains, replying: "Who wants a carrot?!" That"s a big mood.
On a sad note, she mentions the lies that have been concocted about her on the internet. She doesn"t single out the stuff about Trump as lies, just conspiracy theory stuff about her that people make up. That"s not cool.
It"s no exaggeration to say that Stormy Daniels made us laugh or at least chuckle with almost everything that she said.
Part of that is Jimmy being a good host, but a lot of it is just Stormy being charismatic and likable.
Even if we don"t see eye-to-eye with her politics, we can agree that she"s a charming person.
Also, she doesn"t deserve the lies that people concoct about her. Especially because she"s a mom.
Perhaps, one day, she"ll be free to tell all about Trump. That will be quite an experience.

Jimmy Kimmel Makes Emotional Return... with a Surprise Guest!
Jimmy Kimmel made a triumphant, emotional and tear-filled return to late-night television on Monday.
After taking last week off because his child had a heart procedure, the comedian came out for his opening monologue yesterday with a very special guest:
His son, Billy!
“I was out last week – because this guy had heart surgery," Kimmel told his audience, his seven-month in his arms and tears in his eyes.
"But look he’s fine everybody, he may have pooped but he’s fine. Daddy cries on TV but Billy doesn’t… it’s unbelievable.”
Kimmel shared the story of Billy"s health problems with viewers back in May.
He then became an advocate for universal health care, making it his mission to make sure kids everywhere – regardless of their parents" wealth – could afford the best care possible.
In this case, though, the only message Kimmel sent was about little Billy and how he"s holding up these days.
“Billy is doing great, by the way. He has one more surgery – this is amazing – he had an operation a week ago," the host said, adding:
"They say he’ll probably on track to win at least a bronze medal at the Olympics in 2036.”
Billy was born in April.
He underwent his first surgery just days later because he wasn"t getting enough oxygen, the doctors explained at the time.
After giving a heartfelt speech about his son and pushing for a better health care system, Kimmel found himself at the center of a political debate.
But he held his ground. He continued his fight.
And, most importantly, so did little Billy.
Watch the adorable toddler and his father make all late-night viewers cry now:

Kim Kardashian Reads a Kanye Mean Tweet to Jimmy Kimmel!
We all love those "celebrities read mean tweets" segments that Jimmy Kimmel does. Honestly, we sometimes wonder if some of the hateful tweets are really just attempts to get on TV.
Well, to celebrate Jimmy Kimmel"s birthday, the show put together mean tweets about Jimmy Kimmel — giving him a taste of his own medicine — and had his various celebrity friends read them to him.
There are a lot of gems, here. But what might be the best one is Kim Kardashian reading a mean tweet about Jimmy … written by Kanye West.
Ray Romano is Kimmel"s birthday guest, and the tweet that he read was:
"Jimmy Kimmel needs a kick to his d–k hole."
That would take some impressive aim.
Michael Keaton, one of those rare actors who"s played both a superhero and supervillain (Batman and also The Vulture), read the first of many tweets that shame Jimmy"s appearance.
"I thought I saw Jimmy Kimmel @ Home Depot. Turns out it was just a sloppy dude with big dimples."
That"s not actually one of the meaner ones.
Halle Berry, who is looking jaw-droppingly gorgeous as always, reads:
"@jimmykimmel you are a jackass d–k sucker keep your mouth shut and do your little Tv show or get the f–k out of our country."
That bit of nuanced opinionating sounds political in nature.
Blackish star (and former Law & Order star) Anthony Anderson shared a strangely introspective hateful tweet:
"@jimmykimmel you represent everything I hate about myself. You bloated douche bag."
Controversial radio host Howard Stern jumps in, after wondering how he managed to get roped into doing this bit:
"Is Jimmy Kimmel crosseyed or just ridiculously ugly?"
He dismisses that particular mean tweet as "stupid." He"s right.
David Spade seems a little too enthusiastic as he reads:
"@jimmykimmel go suck a gorilla d–k u dumb fatass."
Honestly, all that we can think about when we see David Spade is his feud with Danielle Bregoli.
Chris Hemsworth reads a backhanded compliment, though he"s distracting in his handsomeness … and in that he trips over one word.
"@jimmykimmel is a comedy god. Like a deformed, lame, hideous god, such as ancient Greece"s Hephaestus. But that ugly bozo was still a god."
As you"ll see in the video below, Chris really struggles with the name Hephaestus. Way more than anyone should, since most people learn about the Olympians in elementary school. Maybe not in Australia?
(Since Thor: Ragnarok was absolutely incredible and probably the best MCU film to date, we"ll give Chris a pass on that)
Speaking of stars of excellent media, Kristen Bell reads a tweet that body-shames Jimmy Kimmel in more ways than one:
"@jimmykimmel R u kidding me w that flabby body? What the f–k – get 2 the gym man. Do u really shave ur pits??? Scary!"
That"s rude. Also hair-removal doesn"t have to be gender-based.
(You know she"s starring on The Good Place, which was so good that I binged the first season in one day … whoops)
Jon Stewart, who"s not doing much recently other than getting roasted by Kathy Griffin on Twitter over his response to the Louis C.K. revelations, reads:
"Jimmy Kimmel is that same fat kid from Win Ben Stein"s Money who grew up to become that fat kid from Win Ben Stein"s Money."
Ouch!
Larry David"s might be the funniest (as you"ll see, he just about loses it) but also one of the meanest:
"This is going to sound fantastic, but I forgot Jimmy Kimmel"s name so I googled "Ugly late night talk show host" and I got him, top link."
There are plenty of others, including actors Liam Neeson and Jennifer Lawrence and convicted rapist Mike Tyson.
But who really got our attention was Kim Kardashian.
Most of these stars were reading tweets from random, quasi-anonymous internet strangers.
Kim Kardashian, however, was reading a tweet from a fellow celebrity … who is also her husband.
Kanye West"s words, as read by Kim:
"JIMMY KIMMEL PUT YOURSELF IN MY SHOES … OH NO THAT MEANS YOU WOULD HAVE GOTTEN TOO MUCH GOOD P—Y IN YOUR LIFE."
Kim seems to think that it"s a fair point.
Watch the full video below!

Jimmy Kimmel Cries, Slams Congress, Pushes for Gun Control
Jimmy Kimmel better be careful.
He"s in danger of becoming more known for his heart than his humor.
Several days after the comedian dedicated multiple monologues to slamming a proposed health care bill, the talk show host once again grew emotional on stage while talking about this week"s massacre in Las Vegas.
Kimmel hails from that city.
And a shooter opened up late Sunday night on attendees at a country music festival, killing nearly 60 people and injuring over 500 others.
“Here we are again in the aftermath of another terrible, inexplicable, shocking, and painful tragedy, this time in Las Vegas, which happens to be my hometown,” Kimmel said to open his show on Monday, tears forming in his eyes immediately.
“It’s the kind of thing that makes you want to throw up or give up. It’s too much to even process, all of these devastated families who now have to live with this pain forever.”
He then asked:
"Why is that allowed? I don’t know why our so-called leaders continue to allow this to happen. Or maybe better question: why do we continue to allow them to let it happen?"
In response to White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders saying this was NOT the time to discuss gun control, Kimmel shot back:
"I don’t know, we have 59 innocent people dead, it wasn’t their time either, so I think now is the time for political debate.”
Seth Meyers and James Corden also called on politicians to put lives before money last night, but Kimmel stands out for the emotion he conveyed and the surprisingly important voice he has become in these difficult times.
Earlier this year, Republicans in Congress voted to make it easier for the mentally ill to purchase guns.
They will soon vote on legislation that makes it easier to purchase and use silencers. At one point, politicians pushed for alleged terrorists on the No Fly List to legally own guns.
All of this despite the extreme majority of Americans being for background checks and other gun control measures.
Mere thoughts and prayers are hollow and meaningless at this point, Kimmel said.
Referring to Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell, he added:
“They should be praying – they should be praying for God to forgive them for letting the gun lobby run this country because it’s so crazy… lawmakers won’t do anything about this because the NRA has their balls in a money clip.”
“I want this to be a comedy show, I hate talking about stuff like this,” Kimmel concluded on Monday.
“I just want to laugh about things every night, but it seems to be becoming increasingly difficult lately.
"It feels like someone has opened a window into hell. What I’m talking about tonight isn’t about gun control – it’s about common sense.
"Common sense says no good will ever come from allowing a person to have weapons that can take down 527 Americans at a concert…
"Something needs to be done already. Tell your Congress people to do something. It’s not enough to send your love and prayers."
Impressive stuff. Watch the full monologue now:
