Jimmy Kimmel intends to deliver some sly wisecracks about disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein when he hosts next year’s Oscars – but he’ll tread warily given that victims of the accused sexual predator may be vying for teh gold-plated awards.
“It’s not really a laughing matter,” the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” host says about the rape and sexual assault allegations pouring out against Weinstein in New York magazine out Monday.
“There’ll be a lot of people in that room who maybe have been through experiences with him, and that’s not something I want them to relive on the night they get their Oscar.”

How brave! Only 25 years too late. Will he do a Monica cigar joke or a funny Bill Cosby Jello riff?
Courageous of Kimmel to confront Weinstein months after this topic has faded from the headlines.
How long until they start accusing Weinstein of being a conservative?
Not a good idea. The Weinstein capers have become a very serious matter. One not fit for prime time family viewing.
I think even the Hollywood folks may prefer a little escapism for a few hours. Somehow, this seems far worse than Bill Cosby and his quaaludes. If even a few of these stories are true, Harvey has committed multiple rapes on multiple continents. Violence was used in many cases. IF, the stories are true. I feel sorry for his children who will one day know what happened.
I can’t stand Kimmel so I won’t be watching. I hope he’s glad he’s made enemies out of half of America.
Of course he’ll still be pontificating about how much liberal democrats are doing everything “for the children” and how republicans are trying to kill the planet.
No thanks.
Indeed
Kimmel is insufferable
Any man who could pork that she rat Silverman ain’t no real man
Probably not as much as he trashes President Trump.
Isn’t Kimmel the one who told Trump supporters not to watch his show?
Yeah he is and I second that motion.
In fact he stated that he didn’t want to even have a conversation with anyone who didn’t agree with his position on healthcare.
F’ him.
Well Swinestein has 3 older (teenaged to adult) kids from his first marriage, who most certainly know something of this now, even if they might try to live in a cave for a while. But yeah, his two young kids are under 10, I believe, and will have to come to terms with it sometime.
Jimmy Kimmel is Harvey Weinstein without the brains or money.
Can’t wait to see him make more of a fool of himself.
On second thought, like a bad turd, I’ll pass him on that night. Will watch Lida’s Kitchen instead.
OMG. Did Kimmel bonk Sarah Silverman? That is a sign of more than desperation. It is the sign of a monk who has been in the monastery too long. He will hit on anything in a dress (female or male or Silverman).
Kimmel plowed Silverman for seven years between his two marriages. Blecch.
FU Hellywood
So he’ll run up, stab the corpse, and declare victory? Super Brave Jimmy.
