In the context of the previous guest’s segment, it was appropriate. No one knowing the context took it seriously. It was a joke and they took it that way.
Kimmel also talked about Lindsey Graham’s comments about murdering Cruz on the Senate floor. Everybody laughed about that, too, including Cruz.
As I said, joking about murdering someone isn’t funny...
I don’t care if it came from Kimmel, Graham, Cruz, Trump, or anyone...
