Jimmy Kimmel called Florida "America's North Korea" during a recent broadcast of Jimmy Kimmel Live! on ABC.
The comedian went after the Sunshine State, and particularly Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, for the state's recently announced "python challenge," where participants win prizes for capturing large snakes in an effort to protect the Everglades wetlands.
"In America’s North Korea, the Sunshine State, from time to time, we enjoy taking a look at what’s going on, and tonight, we are doing it again in a Gov. DeSantis edition of 'This Week in Florida,'" Kimmel said before playing a clip of DeSantis announcing the challenge, prompting the comedian to joke that "all the prizes are pythons."
DeSantis praised the python challenge as instrumental in "protecting, restoring and preserving the Everglades for future generations."
"At my direction, the state has taken unprecedented steps to increase python removal, including hosting the Python Challenge annually, and expanding access for python hunters to 134,000 acres of state parks and the Big Cypress National Preserve," he continued. "As a result of our efforts, [Florida's Fish and Wildlife Commission] had a record year for python removal in 2020, and has now removed more than 13,000 pythons since 2000. I’m proud to be here today to kick off registration for another Python Challenge, and I look forward to seeing this year’s results."
Kimmel’s logic escapes me. He’s about 3/5 of a comedian or humorist, if that.
Dear Comrad Kimmelman:
Avoid Florida at all costs.
Carry on.:
Fair is fowl, and fowl is fair…
Late night tv is pathetic now a days. Every freaking show says the same “jokes” and they all literally follow the same format and talking points.
Kimmel ironically has done harm to his industry than good by being a loyal lap dog. Hard to believe this was one half of the man show.
Imagine calling Florida, the state that opened and LIFTED RESTRICTIONS on its citizens North Korea.
No logic or comedy involved. He got the talking point from the DNC. Bet on it! This is a trial balloon floated to see if it plays in commie Peoria, i.e. every city!
Is this the same Jimmy Kimmel that was the star of “the man show”?
I love it when the left is in fear. 🤗
Idiot!
the populations of California (land of rolling blackouts) and New York are decreasing while Florida’s continues to increase, IN SPITE OF THE RISK OF HURRICANES. That people would rather deal with hurricanes than leftists pretty much tells you all you need to know..
What kind of drugs is this idiot on?
Only someone profoundly stupid or ignorant would say such a thing.
Guess which state people are flocking too and which they are fleeing Comrade Kimmel.
LOL, like people are flocking to North Korea?
That would make California and it’s homeless encampments America’s African shanty town.
Or someone who gets their marching orders from the DNC.
Aren’t comedians, by definition, supposed to be funny?
Mild disgust and offense are not even close to humor
Kimmel, his Leftist atheist comrades and the serpent pythons are all in league of their own.
Who would we rather watch at night? This late night fool on TV or our bed pillows? Not even close.
Like I said: Profoundly stupid and ignorant.
