Kimmel: Late Night Hosts Are All Liberal Because 'It Requires A Level Of Intelligence' | Eastern North Carolina Now

    Publisher's note: This informational nugget was sent to me by Ben Shapiro, who represents the Daily Wire, and since this is one of the most topical news events, it should be published on BCN.

    Following President Trump's State of the Union address last week, CBS late night host Stephen Colbert had on the former Obama staffers of "Pod Save America" to bash Trump. Those same gentlemen welcomed ABC late night host Jimmy Kimmel to the stage for an event on Saturday night, where Kimmel proceeded to explain that all late night hosts are on the Left thanks to their vast intellect.

    Yes, really.

    The tweeter was the wife of Jon Favreau, one of the "Pod Save America" co-hosts.

    This line of reasoning does raise a few questions. First, all of the late night hosts are straight white males. Presumably, Kimmel doesn't think that the requirement for intelligence excludes those who are non-straight, non-white, and non-male. Also, the dean of late night hosts is Jay Leno, a Republican; does that mean he's dumb? If so, Kimmel will have to explain how Leno dominated late night for so many years.

    Finally, when one thinks of positions that require serious intelligence, late night host usually doesn't make the list. Kimmel literally reads lines written for him by others; his intellectual credentials stretch all the way back to being a sidekick on "Kevin and Bean" on KROQ in Los Angeles, followed by a stretch as host of "The Man Show" - alongside Kimmel's longtime friend, libertarian Adam Carolla. Presumably, Kimmel does not think Carolla is a dummy. And presumably, Kimmel wouldn't find his antics on that show indicative of higher intelligence requiring a particular political viewpoint.

    Kimmel's taking his newfound role as pope of the Leftist church rather seriously these days. But despite his rather self-aggrandizing perspective on his own brains, he's no political authority, let alone an authority on smarts. If he were, perhaps he'd talk to somebody who isn't busily feeling his pants, either literally or figuratively.

Maybe Kimmel would be funnier if he was on MSNBC or CNN.
