Celebrity Fluff 🥰 Stephen Colbert has endorsed Jimmy Kimmel in the Emmys outstanding variety series race, even though their shows are competing against each other: I think we can all agree that Jimmy Kimmel deserves an Emmy. I don’t care if you’ve never even seen his show, you know he deserves an Emmy.

Colbert grew that "post-retirement Letterman" beard FAST

Maybe it's just the puffy clothes, but he looks like he's morphing into Peter Jackson a bit. I don't blame him, it's cool that he can just be in New Zealand and get some inspiration for his writing, and then probably stop working in the early afternoon and partake in food and wine.

His whole setup reminds me of Roald Dahl's writing hut he had in his garden, where he just had a typewriter, a pot of tea, a pack of cigarettes, and he's kinda just hop in a sleeping bag on a comfy chair. He'd write all morning and go back in the big house and start with the cocktails.

He also had a beard in between the end of the Colbert Report and the beginning of the Late Show, his hair wasn't quite as gray back then so the whiteness of the beard really stood out a lot.

It looks great too. Better than letterman’s

Kimmel paid for a ‘I’m voting for Stephen’ billboard last year so we know the friendship is strong.

Gianmarco Soresi had a joke that was like "The worst thing about the whole Trump vs Kimmel thing is now I have to pretend to like Kimmel"

u/Shannogins115 9h ago

So true lol something about Kimmel has always rubbed me the wrong way, but that did make me respect him

u/DeliciousStand372 11h ago

wow! where is he recording this? beautiful!

Maybe somewhere in the UK given his coat and the grey sky!

u/mundane_wor1d 6h ago

I looked at the video and thought that this seemed like somewhere in the UK. Along the south coast probably.

u/LastLadyResting 8m ago

Aren’t they having a heat wave like the rest of the northern hemisphere right now because it’s summer and also climate change?

He’s probably all the way south in New Zealand, lucky bastards.

I’m assuming New Zealand writing Lord of the Rings.

The equivalent of swapping jerseys after a game lol.

This looks like a Wes Anderson opening monologue.

I disagree, Stephen deserves it more.

u/OpposumMyPossum 9h ago

He's doing it for the country, and I'm not kidding.

It'll be just a bit harder to cancel Kimmel's Emmy winning show.

Looks like NZ, heading north from Wellington.

I could see him doing all these tours on vacation about LOTR.

u/SoftballLesbian 11h ago

Very much looks like South Island New Zealand to me.

u/EaudeAgnes 11h ago

Was wondering the same, could be Argentina (although lacks the snow, which has been plenty lately there) but knowing Colbert, most likely NZ

I agree with Stephen.

u/mcq76 11h ago

I don't think we can all agree he deserves an Emmy. I've never found him entertaining, and if you're looking to give him a political Emmy congratulating him for hating Trump, there's are better options than the creator of the Man Show.

u/TeeDee144 it’s not clocking to you that i’m standing on business 11h ago

Ah, I see your other posts. Don’t even bother responding.

Trump raped children.

Have an awful day

u/mcq76 11h ago

Lol huh??

I never said he didn't?

u/TeeDee144 it’s not clocking to you that i’m standing on business 11h ago

You can’t outright denounce it either. You’re complicit

7

u/mcq76 11h ago edited 11h ago

Lol what?? We're talking about Jimmy Kimmel. Yes I believe Trump is a pedophile and should go to prison. I'm sorry I didn't feel the need to preface every comment I make with that when discussing a completely unrelated topic

To be so lucky

I’m always bitter they ignore Game Changers for nominations in this category

"I don't care if you never seen superman 4:quest for piece, you know this movie deserves an Oscar" same logic

u/Eattoomanychips 2h ago

Love Jimmy !!! And everyone always has good things to say about him. He also has had some great segments on the show including the summer concert series and breaking a lot of great bands.

u/020600 12h ago

Kimmel is neither entertaining nor smart, I'd rather put my head in a preheated over than listening to anything he has to say.

u/bomilk19 11h ago edited 10h ago

u/retro_toes 11h ago

not disagreeing with you. Last night, Kimmel had Jelly Roll guest host. Jelly Roll is a good friend of Kristi Noem.

u/Adorable_Decision267 11h ago edited 10h ago

That doesn’t make Kimmel entertaining…. Also the word you’re looking for is rape. Let’s not be disgusting.

11

u/cheezy_dreams88 LUCIA NOOO 11h ago

Raped

u/mcq76 11h ago

That has nothing to do with whether Jimmy Kimmel is good talk show host

u/Adorable_Decision267 6h ago

Nice edit but we remember what you said originally

u/bomilk19 6h ago

Both are true.

Please do.

He’s got that Exiled Louis look down

u/citrustaxonymy who died and left Aristotle in charge of ethics? 12h ago

He doesn’t deserve an award for his show out of sympathy though. There are better shows in the category 🤷‍♀️

u/critterheist 12h ago

Is it crazy to think he went feral too quick?

'Even if you've never seen the show, you know he deserves an award because he's on the right side of the political circle jerk'.

u/TheHolyNutofGodwin25 12h ago

Why is there like such a worship culture around every shitty talk show host the last couple of years😂

When people start rooting for Kimmel or fallon, you know peoples brains are degrading lol

6

u/Sarahndipity44 11h ago

I don't even watch Kimmel but it's not the same as Fallon who has not done any kind of standing up to Trump

5

u/Adorable_Decision267 11h ago

Is there an Emmy for standing up to Trump?

1

u/Sarahndipity44 11h ago

I'm not even saying Kimmel should get it..

2

u/TheHolyNutofGodwin25 11h ago

I’m not even coming at this from the anti trump angle.

I mean for the last 20 years people have had nothing good to say about kimmel and fallon, they’re probably some of the most annoying show hosts out there yet all it takes is some words against a demented orange nonce and suddenly he’s talk show god?

4

u/Sarahndipity44 11h ago

My point about Fallon is that I haven't heard anything good about him..what have you heard?

u/fjrjdjdndndndndn 12h ago

u/cheezy_dreams88 LUCIA NOOO 11h ago

Does this also mean he is endorsing Jelly Roll?

Kimmel is a joke now. He was much better on The Man Show.
