    This is jimmy’s strength when he does skits and musical parody’s(minus the bob Dylan one) this is when he shines above the rest of the late night hosts. In an entertainment atmosphere polluted with low hanging trump bashing jokes and unfunny political rant snoozfests it’s nice to get some good ole fashion humor and entertainment. Very refreshing.

    • @ShawnLH88

    • @evanrasmussen6572
      @evanrasmussen6572 6 років тому +2

      Shawn, aw im so sorry, was my comments theme to hard to grasp? It’s not what type of joke but it’s the same joke being repeated over and over that’s the problem. If you recall which I doubt you do cause your comment suggests you’re 12 years old or you wrote your comment on the short bus on the way to bag groceries, the same thing happened with George W. He was lampooned nightly and it got old and now trump jokes are old. Sorry I didn’t dumb my initial comment down for you I’ll keep people like you in mind next time.

      jack nick. ugh a comment nay a paragraph long was so predictable I could hardly bare to humor to read it before being overcome by exhaustion (hand goes over the forehead as jack faints). I didn’t know comment sections were where you sought bastions stimulating philosophical nuggets and where bathed in the well springs of creative intrigue that enveloped you into pure mental ecstasy. Ya jackass.

    • @HudaefCares
      @HudaefCares 4 роки тому +1

      I might be 2 years late to your comment, but I agree. It does get tiring to watch night after night of political jokes and rants, makes you think that it's all there is to late night shows. It's not about IQ unlike what that other comment said, it's about a diverse entertainment experience. What's wrong about wanting something else?
