We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed.

Jimmy Kimmel is more popular than Donald Trump, a new poll has found, following a public showdown between the two men that resulted in the talk show host being briefly taken off-air.

The survey, conducted by YouGov, asked respondents if they held favorable opinions of both men.

When asked about Kimmel, 44 percent said they had a favorable opinion of the comedian, while 41 percent said they did not. Fifteen percent said they were undecided, giving Kimmel a net favorability of +3.

I bet the 41% have never actually watched the show.

His into monologues are always fun. Most of the late night guys have good shows. Except Fallon. That guy sucks pure ass.

[–] watson387@sopuli.xyz 3 points 10 months ago

Jimmy Fallon is fucking terrible.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I'm kind of lukewarm on Fallon. I dip in every once in a while, but he's just way too "centrist" for my liking. This is the guy that tousled Taco's hair just before the 2016 election, right? So the fact that he still seems to be way too apolitical now is not all that surprising. I'm not sure he sucks ass, I usually just watch everything else and then maybe him if I get to it....

The joke of these polls is that if their rolls were reversed, I'm more than confident that Trump would outpoll Kimmel.

The Jester is always going to be more popular than the King. That's why the job exists.

Not to be a grammar Nazi, but I find your misspelling of "roles" to be hilarious.

Or people just don't like a pedophile, who's also been convicted of what like 30+ felonies, and who is currently trying to destroy the country.

If Jimmy ALSO was like that then I could totally see the roles being reversed and people being in favor of the guy with significantly less power. However even with no power trump is still one of the worst people there is.

Or people just don’t like a pedophile

We know that's not true. Hollywood is choke full of them.

If Jimmy ALSO was like that

Jimmy's entire early career was getting 13 year olds horny and laughing about it. Nevermind the age bracket of "Women Jumping on Trampolines". Kimmel and Carolla walked right up to the edge all the time.

It is, though. I love his monologues.
