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."

Someone buy this doofus a dictionary so he can lookup the word ‘funny’.
Florida is more like Taiwan.
I pretty much quit late night when Leno, Ferguson and even Letterman all left. The rest who stayed on were a joke.
and... Kimmel is America’s throbbing anus vent.
The difference:
People trying to escape commie hellholes like ‘North Korea’ or Cuba are shot... if they survive being shot they’re tortured and murdered and often so are family members (of the escapee.)
People trying to escape democrat hellholes like New York. Chicago and California to move to sane Red States - like Florida and Texas... are still allowed to leave.
If democrats had their way they would shoot people trying to leave New York, Chicago, and California... it makes them look like what they are: totalitarian thugs.
If they were honest, and not complicit, all ABC affiliates in Florida would drop his program!
It’s idiots like Jimmy that screwed up comedy beyond all recognition. Only politically correct “joke” allowed. A robot is funnier than he is.
Fear indeed they know what’s coming after them.
