Nobody's Opinion

Nobody Now Knows Jimmy Fallon VS Jimmy Kimmel

Nobody Knows

—that I used to watch Ben Stein’s “Win Ben Stein’s Money” show. Ben had a sidekick named Jimmy Kimmel who nobody could beat at ad-libbing. The guy was quick. When I heard about ” Jimmy” playing a rather cruel and tasteless joke on Michelle Bachmann when she came on his show, I was a bit confused.

If you haven’t heard about it, the band played “Lyin Ass Bitch” as she walked out to the stage, and Michelle was completely unaware that they were laughing at her…But wait, it wasn’t Jimmy Kimmel, but another Jimmy named Jimmy Fallon that played that rude and despicable introduction. Kimmel is on ABC, Fallon is on NBC, and not only do they look a bit alike, they are both Irish boys from New York.

Jimmy Fallon is from Saturday Night Live, and Jimmy Kimmel is from “Win Ben Stein’s Money.”

I get them mixed up.

Nobody wants to say right here: I don’t watch late night TV, and if I do, it’s usually Craig Ferguson, because the Brit’s (Scottish in this case) humor is usually way more insane and fun than our American comedians, who seem to be always trying to make some clever ‘point.’

Here’s what Glenn Beck said about Jimmy Fallon’s stunt on his website:

“Really, Fallon, really? Really? Unbelievable. You people make me sick. I would never, ever even consider doing that,” he said. “I wouldn’t do that to George Soros. I would never do that, I would never invite someone onto my — she didn’t inflict herself on you. You invited her! You invite her into her own space, you treat her like that? You’re a despicable, reprehensible human being. You really are.”

Well  said Glenn.

It seems to get ratings you also can do some other despicable things, which is what Jimmy Kimmel did. He asked parents to tell their kids that they ate all the Halloween candy, and then film them as they busted out crying, and send their video’s to him.

First off: After watching the video, you are amazed that anyone in the world would find this amusing. The joke is cruel. Does he need ratings that badly? I can’t imagine any parent doing that to any kid, let alone their own. What the hell is wrong with these people?  If some older kid did this just as a joke to a younger one, a decent parent would be furious. Not only is it cruel, someday those kids will turn around and do the same to another poor kid. The parents have already sanctioned it.

Where is all the “liberal” outrage? Don’t bully they say. Oh…it’s okay if you are liberal and you do it for Jimmy! These parents pretty much tortured some of these kids, and obviously were very proud that they milked the joke for all it’s worth.

The fault lies with Jimmy Kimmel. What he did was every bit as bad, no…worse than what they did to Michelle. These were kids. Who trusted their parents, who had just spoiled one of the happiest memories of their lives. They may not ever trust those parents again. Some kids…at the end we see, understand it’s all in fun. But…too many do not.

Nobody Thinks the competition is steep. Look what happened to Conan. The reason Johnny Carson lasted so long was because he had respect for every guest he had on. Have we changed so much as a nation that we find cruelty funny now?

 

Jay Leno seems to be doing well.

David Letterman is no longer funny, he stopped being funny after he had a heart attack, and screwed all his interns.  But maybe that’s because nothing seems to be funny lately.

It’s time like this when I miss Benny Hill. The good news is: I will no longer get these two mixed up ever again, and neither Jimmy is going to miss me…in this Nobody’s case: ignorance is bliss!

What was the word Glenn used? Despicable. Yep.That’s it.
