He pokes fun at them on a nightly basis, but Jimmy Kimmel is questioning whether it's good for Americans to laugh at the country's "terrible" issues and political leaders.
"I don't know that laughing about these terrible problems that we have, and these terrible people that we have is good," the "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" host said in response to a question Thursday from CNN anchor Jake Tapper about whether late-night TV provides escapism for viewers.
"I could probably spend an hour answering this question because I don't know that escapism is a good thing," Kimmel said during the news network's virtual Citizen Conference.

I have never watched him, I have heard a few clips on the radio and I can’t figure out why people call him a comedian?? My old friends Don Rickles and Buddy Hackett were Comedians and another guy I knew was a REAL Late night Talk Show Host/Comedian, Johnny Carson.
These people referred to as comedians or late night talk show hosts are just plain buffoons and you would have to be Brain Dead to think they were funny in any way other than thier looks.
He is concerned about people laughing at Biden. Trump, no problem.
He is a comedian? Gee, I thought he was just a political hack for the dnc. Who knew?
Ok, Jimmy we won’t laugh at you anymore. What a schmuck.
Fallon is better looking.
OK to laugh at Trump but not Brandon?
I remember when he used his show to mock and infantilize the First Lady, an immigrant who speaks 5 languages fluently, for having an accent when she speaks English.
THAT is a terrible person.
“Isn’t he a comedian?”
That’s debatable.
Sleazy leftist worm. His idea of terrible is anyone with morals who values freedom.
I don’t watch any of these sick clowns. Late-night has not been funny since Jonny Carson.
But I like laughing at Alec Baldwin
Liberals are joyless jerks.
Jimmy Kimmel is one of the biggest assholes to ever be given a time slot and he proves it every show.

It is ok as long as the “jokes” are aimed at Republicans and conservatives but not ok when directed at anyone on the left.
Saturday Night Live only purpose is to ridicule Republicans.
Jimmy, a reminder, the 1st Amendment protects speech we don’t agree with, get over yourself.
Kimmel is neither fun, or funny.
Kimmel probably read Rules for Radicals and is scared to death that he might be openly ridiculed.
Most younger liberals, with undeserved superiority complexes I may add, get their news from late night talk show hosts. Rules for Radicals states how important it is to use humor as a weapon. The self hating, non-practicing Jews that run the entertainment business are all extremely liberal. That adds up to what we have today. Jimmy Fallon held off for a while with the Trump bashing, but within a year he succumbed. Since then it is a waste land with the exception of late night on Fox.
He’s right I. never once found and any value laughing at him or for that matter anything he said.

He was kind of funny on “the Man Show”. Libs and Media pretend he never did that show.
