Jimmy Kimmel, whose job title is "host of a late-night comedy show," explained to listeners that he is not paid to do comedy.

"I don't know where people get the idea that comedy shows are supposed to be funny," said Kimmel to podcast host Michelle Obama. "People have this weird misconception that because I receive a salary to be a comedian, that somehow it's my job to make people laugh. Then, when I spend the entire show screaming and weeping, they say, 'Hey! You're not doing your job!' It's absurd."

Kimmel assured listeners that it's not his job as a comedian to make people laugh, just like it's not a plumber's job to fix a toilet. "If I pay a plumber to come fix my sink, it's not the plumber's job to fix my sink," explained Kimmel. "What if he wants to go bowling, or just cry on my couch for a while? That's his prerogative."

At publishing time, the band for Kimmel's late-night show had decided it was no longer their job to play music.

Still defending a child rapist, convicted criminal, adulterer and twice impeached failure with dementia who’s been bankrupt half a dozen times?

Jimmy Kimmel is very funny comedian.

Cry it out yourself to Putin, Yuri

Guess what, folks?

It's TACO Tuesday again! (still Tuesday in the US, by the way).

TACO Trump Gives Iran an Indefinite Ceasefire

The president’s about-face came hours after he declared he did not plan to extend the two-week ceasefire with Tehran.

Seriously - this is getting as predictable (and boring) as all those reruns on TV.
