This is true. But then again, why should anyone be embarrassed about not knowing something?

For instance, my sister currently lives in England, and it still shocks me that strangers in her neighborhood don't at least wave and smile to one another.
"Columbus reached America in 1942" So, let me get this straight... The year was 1942, WW2 was going on in Europe and Italy was allied to Germany. Columbus was a member of the Italian Resistance and, seeing that UK, France and USSR couldn't do it he sailed over the ocean to reach the USA to ask for help. Is that correct?
right, and then the declaration of independence was signed in 1945, after Pearl Harbor. wait, then the Americans started helping the Brits and Soviets push back Germany in 44, before they're country became independent. also they dropped the nuke on Hiroshima on 6 August 1945, same day they declared independence from...you guessed it, Italy.

Whenever they do one of these "interviewing idiots" segments, I always wonder how many people they interview who get it right vs who doesn't. I'm afraid of the answer.
I think most people get it right and they have to interview lots of people to get these prize idiots. Still, isn't it amazing that there are people like this out there at all?
Almost none actually. People see the camera and are fans. So they know that they should act stupid. And if they don’t then they just don’t get it. A few dozen people and you are done pretty fast
This one's kinda interesting actually, it shows the methods of learning used ie people in the US are clearly taught in a way that they memorise positions on a map rather than actually grasping geographical information about the world, so it's pretty fair to think the majority probably got it wrong, but the hat guy was a gem for the show :) If anyone didn't notice, many of them knew the location they would find India on a standard American view global map, where the US is in the top left. When China is put in the middle of the map (as it is in China, India, all of Asia, Australia etc) they have no clue where to find any country. It's like memorising a childrens book instead of learning to read - will get a good score on a test, but is useless in the real world & a sign of a poor education. Educators in the US should be taking note of segments like this so they can fix the problem
No, no, I'm sure I've read about this Colombus guy and his finding of the continent of America while my country is fighting independence from the Dutch and got invaded by Japanese Empire instead.
Jimmy: “[Columbus] never even got to North America . . . the closest he got was the Bahamas”(0:26). Dang, he’s smarter than some of the people they interview. Not Really
Actually when the Persians came to India long before, they couldn't pronounce "Sindhu" also known as "Indus" now, where they settled. They pronounced as "Indu" or "Hindu".That's how the Sindhu river got it's other name as "Indus" and India. Although India name is popularly used as the name of the country, but we also have two other names for India in Hindi language as "Hindustan" or "Bharat". India got its name long before Buddha or Christ or Mohammed. During the stone age times, while America was discovered in 1492. He discovered South America to be exact. He was Portuguese & he came with Spanish people, therefore the languages remained eminant there.The trade route to India was blocked by British as the three countries wanted to set their foot in India so he figured to take the other way as Earth is round & he can probably get to India by other route.Portuguese first came to India for Spices & tea leaves.Then came French and then the British. By the time French came West Indies was already discovered,so they named their company French East India Company and British East India Company.
I worked with a guy who tried to tell me about something that happened at a private school in Australia "in the 1400s." I assumed he meant the 1940s and just misspoke, so I repeated "the 1400s?" back to him. I figured he'd hear the obvious error he'd made, laugh, correct himself, and carry on with the story. What actually happend is he didn't understand and just got mad at me for repeating it. Then he says, "Fine, maybe it was the 1500s!" and I realized this guy really has ZERO concept of history.
Its very interesting to watch how people act when they know they are being filmed and watched by thousands of people I love these "social study" shows :D
Fun fact: The Dutch were looking for India back then during the 1700s and the ended up in Indonesia. The land still had spices so the Dutch just went with it. They called the Indonesian land (or the people) the "Dutch Indies" back then and they named the sea the "Indian Ocean" (if I'm not mistaken). Soekarno and Hatta eventually gave Indonesia their independence in 17 August 1945 and renamed their country "Indonesia". Correct me if I'm wrong!
actually Columbus had a very good sense of orientation. He knew exactly where he was going. The problem was America, the continent, wasn’t known by the rest of the world
I love how they purposely used a map that didn't center north america knowing this would happen. They don't even know the shape of their country or the direction of California. The texas dude just figured mexico floated off 🤣🤣

@Kurt Rustle India had well established civilization then.They weren't primitive.Indian civilization is one of the oldest in the world. Apart from that I agree with you

@Kurt Rustle lmao u are typical white trump supporter......I still ,infact nobody in India subscribe to the Indo Aryan theory......it is also infamously known as the Aryan invasion theory...... according to it Dravidian where the architect of the Indian civilization then the Aryans came pushed them to South....intermixed and you get the modern day brown Indians ....and those statistics are from wiki not mine......Indo aryans and Dravidian are a language group rather than a racial group......I can show you Indians lighter skin than you speaking a Dravidian language living in the southernmost part.....this Aryan theory is bullshitt that was built by white British historians to divide Indians for colonization....I was just pointing out that the mythical Aryan Dravidian theory you were quoting you don't even know it yourself......it doesn't means I believe in it.....go read stuff ....you are just too ignorant........India had established empires when there were wild pigs running across the north American continent.....Indians are a unique group of people on our own......
Yea except no... Columbus knew he found a different continent, he just didn’t know that the continent previously existed. People back then actually knew the circumference of earth as well as the approximate distance between europe and india and china. Disclaimer: i’m not white, i just hate misinformation for the sake of comedy or pc
He had no idea he had discovered a continent at all when he arrived because he didn't set foot on the continent. He landed had a good look around Cuba and didn't hit South America until the 4th voyage. He never once set foot in North America.
Brem ok he never landed on north america, vikings did and you can see that it doesn’t change a thing, there is not a previking America but there is a precolumbian america, Columbus made all europe aware that there was something ripe for taking in the west so he could even have discovered only the Barbados the feat is the same, he was the first european to have the balls to navigate on unknown seas with almost unknown winds and with almost unknown stars movement and precession, so it doesn’t matter where you land but the fact that he had the balls to stay 3 months in the sea and exploit them to arrive somewhere instead of just dying there, and believe me if you read about his voyages you will see that you can’t just put anyone in his role, doing 2nd and third travels after you know the path or are certain that there is a continent after X miles is a completely different job than moving on completely unknown waters and for that you need the best sailors who know the rules of navigation to find the path without a map and only with stars that move while you navigate for thousands of miles on the surface of the earth
@@Feanorlike He wasn't the only one with the balls, he was the only one with the money behind him. He didn't make anyone aware that there was anything for the taking, he just made people more aware of the possibility of something else out there. If those small islands were there, perhaps something bigger was. You can't put anyone in his role but there were dozens of European captains who made the same voyages out into uncharted waters in the following years using unknown winds. Caboto, Lavrador, Ponce de Leon to name a few. They all did the same thing sailing uncharted waters through unknown winds towards unknown destinations. They didn't sail the same voyages again, they sailed their own to different places discovering the north and south continents and navigating through the Keys to the gulf and first setting foot on what is now the USA. They did the same as what Columbus did not knowing if anything else was out there or not.
@Kurt Rustle Kimmel is wrong in saying Columbus thought he was in India. He thought he was somewhere in China. India was just a name Europeans used for the far east. It basically meant asia for Columbus. But he did die thinking he had arrived to asia, not to a new continent.
What I find interesting about this video is that Kimmel said Marconi. That's honestly flattering: Marconi is one of the greatest minds of the whole history but he's often overlooked. Way to go Jimmy!

Whenever they do one of these "interviewing idiots" segments, I always wonder how many people they interview who get it right vs who doesn't. I'm afraid of the answer.
I think most people get it right and they have to interview lots of people to get these prize idiots. Still, isn't it amazing that there are people like this out there at all?
Almost none actually. People see the camera and are fans. So they know that they should act stupid. And if they don’t then they just don’t get it. A few dozen people and you are done pretty fast
SleepDa Mouse They want to be on national TV as an idiot? Rightio! Just a different kinda stupid then.
M J Sure, let’s make broad generalizations about 300 million people. 🙄
This one's kinda interesting actually, it shows the methods of learning used ie people in the US are clearly taught in a way that they memorise positions on a map rather than actually grasping geographical information about the world, so it's pretty fair to think the majority probably got it wrong, but the hat guy was a gem for the show :)
If anyone didn't notice, many of them knew the location they would find India on a standard American view global map, where the US is in the top left. When China is put in the middle of the map (as it is in China, India, all of Asia, Australia etc) they have no clue where to find any country.
It's like memorising a childrens book instead of learning to read - will get a good score on a test, but is useless in the real world & a sign of a poor education.
Educators in the US should be taking note of segments like this so they can fix the problem
In the midst of a World War Columbus sailed the ocean blue
War was over in 1918... so interwar period

Jimmy had to tell audience beforehand that Columbus sailed in 1492 because that 1920 joke would have gone straight over our heads without it.
To stupid people, they just hear "1942" and think "a long time ago."
My favourite part of this is that even the audience doesn't really know when to laugh... The American education system is bonkers
Is no one going to talk about the fact that Jimmy Kimmel says Columbus "never even got to North America, the closest he got is Bahamas"???
I mean, he clearly meant the mainland, but yes that could've been worded better.
Thats true, columbus actually never even set foot in america

Dang, he’s smarter than some of the people they interview. Not Really
Actually when the Persians came to India long before, they couldn't pronounce "Sindhu" also known as "Indus" now, where they settled. They pronounced as "Indu" or "Hindu".That's how the Sindhu river got it's other name as "Indus" and India. Although India name is popularly used as the name of the country, but we also have two other names for India in Hindi language as "Hindustan" or "Bharat".
India got its name long before Buddha or Christ or Mohammed. During the stone age times, while America was discovered in 1492. He discovered South America to be exact. He was Portuguese & he came with Spanish people, therefore the languages remained eminant there.The trade route to India was blocked by British as the three countries wanted to set their foot in India so he figured to take the other way as Earth is round & he can probably get to India by other route.Portuguese first came to India for Spices & tea leaves.Then came French and then the British. By the time French came West Indies was already discovered,so they named their company French East India Company and British East India Company.

I worked with a guy who tried to tell me about something that happened at a private school in Australia "in the 1400s." I assumed he meant the 1940s and just misspoke, so I repeated "the 1400s?" back to him. I figured he'd hear the obvious error he'd made, laugh, correct himself, and carry on with the story. What actually happend is he didn't understand and just got mad at me for repeating it. Then he says, "Fine, maybe it was the 1500s!" and I realized this guy really has ZERO concept of history.

Fun fact: The Dutch were looking for India back then during the 1700s and the ended up in Indonesia. The land still had spices so the Dutch just went with it. They called the Indonesian land (or the people) the "Dutch Indies" back then and they named the sea the "Indian Ocean" (if I'm not mistaken). Soekarno and Hatta eventually gave Indonesia their independence in 17 August 1945 and renamed their country "Indonesia".
Correct me if I'm wrong!
Id be Amazed if that guy knows his Arse from his Elbow!!
how'd he even get his clothes on?!
As a 15 year old taking AP World this is hilarious but also scary
actually Columbus had a very good sense of orientation. He knew exactly where he was going. The problem was America, the continent, wasn’t known by the rest of the world
I wonder if these people are for real?
I have a feeling most of them are staged for entertainment just for the Kimmel Show, to act as if they are stupid. But sometimes I really wonder...
Jose Vinicio Conde the sad thing is they are
Maybe a mix of both
They're real, but who knows how many were asked to create the video.
They're real.
I'm surprised Italians get so defensive about Columbus. I would've thought they disowned him to the Spanish or something lol

@Kurt Rustle India had well established civilization then.They weren't primitive.Indian civilization is one of the oldest in the world. Apart from that I agree with you
@Kurt Rustle as an Indian I can tell you everything you are saying is complete bullshitt....you know nothing abt Indian history and mostly india is linguisticaly diverse but ethnically it is pretty homogeneous
@Kurt Rustle and Indian civilization began in the Indus River valley....by then INDIANS and spread to other parts
@Kurt Rustle lmao u are typical white trump supporter......I still ,infact nobody in India subscribe to the Indo Aryan theory......it is also infamously known as the Aryan invasion theory...... according to it Dravidian where the architect of the Indian civilization then the Aryans came pushed them to South....intermixed and you get the modern day brown Indians ....and those statistics are from wiki not mine......Indo aryans and Dravidian are a language group rather than a racial group......I can show you Indians lighter skin than you speaking a Dravidian language living in the southernmost part.....this Aryan theory is bullshitt that was built by white British historians to divide Indians for colonization....I was just pointing out that the mythical Aryan Dravidian theory you were quoting you don't even know it yourself......it doesn't means I believe in it.....go read stuff ....you are just too ignorant........India had established empires when there were wild pigs running across the north American continent.....Indians are a unique group of people on our own......
Texas, Texas everywhere!
I could watch an entire TV series of geography stuff with Kimmel. It is, in fact, the only Kimmel content I do watch at the moment. (sorry Jim Jim)
Yea except no... Columbus knew he found a different continent, he just didn’t know that the continent previously existed. People back then actually knew the circumference of earth as well as the approximate distance between europe and india and china. Disclaimer: i’m not white, i just hate misinformation for the sake of comedy or pc
I was about to comment the same thing, it's rather ignorant of people to think he didn't know he had found the new world
He had no idea he had discovered a continent at all when he arrived because he didn't set foot on the continent. He landed had a good look around Cuba and didn't hit South America until the 4th voyage. He never once set foot in North America.
Brem ok he never landed on north america, vikings did and you can see that it doesn’t change a thing, there is not a previking America but there is a precolumbian america, Columbus made all europe aware that there was something ripe for taking in the west so he could even have discovered only the Barbados the feat is the same, he was the first european to have the balls to navigate on unknown seas with almost unknown winds and with almost unknown stars movement and precession, so it doesn’t matter where you land but the fact that he had the balls to stay 3 months in the sea and exploit them to arrive somewhere instead of just dying there, and believe me if you read about his voyages you will see that you can’t just put anyone in his role, doing 2nd and third travels after you know the path or are certain that there is a continent after X miles is a completely different job than moving on completely unknown waters and for that you need the best sailors who know the rules of navigation to find the path without a map and only with stars that move while you navigate for thousands of miles on the surface of the earth
@@Feanorlike He wasn't the only one with the balls, he was the only one with the money behind him.
He didn't make anyone aware that there was anything for the taking, he just made people more aware of the possibility of something else out there. If those small islands were there, perhaps something bigger was.
You can't put anyone in his role but there were dozens of European captains who made the same voyages out into uncharted waters in the following years using unknown winds. Caboto, Lavrador, Ponce de Leon to name a few. They all did the same thing sailing uncharted waters through unknown winds towards unknown destinations. They didn't sail the same voyages again, they sailed their own to different places discovering the north and south continents and navigating through the Keys to the gulf and first setting foot on what is now the USA. They did the same as what Columbus did not knowing if anything else was out there or not.
@Kurt Rustle Kimmel is wrong in saying Columbus thought he was in India. He thought he was somewhere in China. India was just a name Europeans used for the far east. It basically meant asia for Columbus. But he did die thinking he had arrived to asia, not to a new continent.
0:42 I liked for this. Freakin' hilarious
What I find interesting about this video is that Kimmel said Marconi. That's honestly flattering: Marconi is one of the greatest minds of the whole history but he's often overlooked. Way to go Jimmy!
When Columbus arrived in Hispaniola there were 300,000 natives. When he left, there were only 500.
Fix News It’s called diseases. The Europeans brought diseases unheard for the Native Americans, so the diseases killed them easily and quickly, as their inmune systems had never been exposed to that bacteria/virus before, selecting the people with the most adapted inmune systems
Columbus was a true alpha male.
