Jimmy Kimmel on Monday called “bullshit” on Vice President JD Vance, who last week tried to claim the government wasn’t involved in Kimmel getting pulled off the air earlier this month.
Disney brought Kimmel back after less than a week, but two companies that own dozens of ABC affiliates continued to block the show.
Vance said those stations refused to carry the show not due to censorship, but because Kimmel’s “not funny and his ratings aren’t very good.”
Shortly after Vance made those comments, both companies announced they would resume carrying the show, and Kimmel was ready with a fact-check for Vance as a result.
“I have some good news for you, J-Dog,” Kimmel fired back. “We’re back on all the stations, at every home, every bar, every strip club, and every prison in America.”
The audience erupted, cheering wildly for about 10 seconds.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt your bullshit,” Kimmel said as he rolled more footage of Vance insisting “nothing happened” to Kimmel.
“He’s currently on the air, and to the extent that he’s not, it’s because advertisers don’t like him because his ratings aren’t very good,” Vance said.
Kimmel offered Vance a reminder on “ratings.”
“My ratings aren’t very good? Last time I checked, your ratings were somewhere between a hair in your salad and chlamydia,” Kimmel fired back.
