"I will feast on stupid comments," Kimmel said with glee about his upcoming gig, noting that out on the campaign trail "there seems to be a glut of dumb things being said."
Having said that he was not sure HOW to joke about the President.
"It's hard to make fun of Obama in general because he's a cool character," Kimmel said. "Outside of his ears, there's not a whole lot."
Interestingly enough though he has trouble finding anything to tease the President about he has little difficulty making jokes at the expense of the past, and current, contenders for the GOP nomination. But to be honest, who DOESN'T find them laughable?
And when it comes to poking fun at the biggest joke to come out of the Republican party in decades?
On former candidate for vice president Sarah Palin: "Now she is stationed up in Alaska all the time, she doesn't have a professional hair or makeup artist any more, she is starting to look like a mom on 'Toddlers and Tiaras'. Her hair looks like bees are doing it for her."
Of course I am not sure if that is actually a joke, or just an astute observation?
I have to say I am REALLY looking forward to the White House Correspondents Dinner. These things are always a blast, and the President can be quite the comedian himself.
Of course I would be falling down on the job if I did not provide a link to perhaps the most AMAZING White House Correspondents Dinner of them all. The 2006 dinner hosted by Stephen Colbert.
"On Glenn Beck's radio show yesterday, Sarah Palin accidentally said, 'We have to stand with our North Korean allies.' Then Palin was like, 'Wait. North Korea's the one in the south, right?'" - Jimmy Fallon
ReplyDelete"A new study says that radiation from Wi-Fi is hurting trees. Environmentalists are calling it the worst assault on trees since George W. Bush and Sarah Palin became authors." - Jimmy Fallon
"Palin's book just came out. It has just over 300 pages and just under 900 made-up words." - Jimmy Fallon
"Sarah Palin's new autobiography doesn't come out until November, but it is already number one on Amazon. And if you go to the website, it says, 'People who bought this book also bought no other books in their entire life.'" - Jimmy Fallon
"The book costs $24.99, but it has a $5,000 jacket." -Jimmy Fallon
"Sarah Palin's 400-page memoir is going to be released on November 17th, and it's called 'Going Rogue: An American Life.' And critics say that it starts out okay, it gets really exciting and then confusing, and then the last 100 pages are blank." - Jimmy Fallon
I know that Jimmy has plenty of material. I wonder if Sarah or Bristol are on the guest list this year. Maybe someone should bring Levi as a date.
Jimmy Fallon, you duh man!
DeleteAs a happily married father of three I'm not ashamed to say I have a serious man crush on Jimmy.
Deletewhat, you mean brisDULL wasn't invited this year? lol step down...
ReplyDeleteFYI:
ReplyDeletePresident Obama is on Jimmy Fallon TONIGHT.
Here is a short youtube clip:

btw gryphen, that screen shot of palin might be the best yet. sez it all...
ReplyDeleteAgreed! That pic should be her legacy!
DeleteNo doubt on Colbert. The conservatives still haven't figured out that he is mocking them nightly.
ReplyDeleteThere was also an amazing speech by John Hodgman at the Radio & TV dinner - he takes all the "Obama is different" shit on a big fat spin.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yW7OPByRGDY
"Her hair looks like bees are doing it for her."
ReplyDeleteHe knows about the Bee Hive gal that had a quickie reality show or did she just get bristoled. In the trash and forever 'greenlighted'..... ? ? He must read Shailey Tripp... hot Toddy and the hair salon business. Tooooooo funny!
I bet he reads here, and other blogs (PG, MF).
DeleteHe, he, I was going to say the same thing, sounds
DeleteIke Jimmy reads IM, since it seems like we are the only ones that joke about Sarah's many hair Don'ts .
Bees....awesome.
You betcha!
DeleteOoops, Gryphen. When I heard that President Obama was going to be on Jimmy Fallon's show tonight, I got all excited and posted a number of Fallon jokes about Palin. Sorry, I mixed him up with Kimmel, or as Letterman calls them, "The Two Jimmy's."
ReplyDeleteI actually enjoyed reading your Jimmy Fallon's quotes - Funny is Funny no matter who's telling the jokes.
DeleteGryphen, agree, the Stephen Colbert dinner will never be topped. Do you remember how it got panned by the critics - most of whom were attendees at the dinner? I can't remember who said this about the criticism, but they made an astute observation: "You had to not be there to get it."
ReplyDeleteDid you see the look on Shrub's face? It was clearly obvious they flew over his head.
DeleteSteven really set the bar high with that one!
Gryph, I remember that Stephen was panned after the correspondents dinner because the morons did not understand his brilliant satire of them. Just like he does every night on his show. That's why he won the Peabody recently for his take on PACs. As to Kimmel, he is bang-on abour Sarah, but of, course, we knew that she is looking like a typical reality show creature for a long time. Glad to see that others are aware.
ReplyDeleteBTW, tonight on LOD, he will be playing the video of the Santorum Aborts Campaign video. LOL.
Bees....lol. So true.
ReplyDeleteWhy has no one been successful in helping the Palin kids in the Valley?
Delete....... a complaint from her hairstylist that the mother of 14 allows her kids to live in horrendous conditions.
http://www.tmz.com/2012/04/24/octomom-nadya-suleman-police-report-childrens-services-kids-unfit/#.T5d2NauviAY
That's why Sarah doesn't go to hairstylists.
Delete"Last night was possibly the last show ever of 'Sarah Palin's Alaska,' for several reasons. She might run for President and would have to abide by the equal time rules. Also, she just likes to quit things." —Jimmy Kimmel
ReplyDelete"Three finalists on 'Dancing with the Stars,' two of whom can dance and Bristol Palin who cannot, but her mother has an army of Eskimo robots calling in votes day and night. The Palins dream of a future in which no one will ever be disqualified from a job simply because they are unable to perform that job." –Jimmy Kimmel
"Sarah Palin's book is number one on Amazon.com right now. Stephen King actually has the number two book. Very scary new book called 'Sarah Palin Becomes President.'" - Jimmy Kimmel
In case you forgot, Jimmy Kimmel made the wonderful spoof of "Life is a Tripp"
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/02/jimmy-kimmel-spoofs-brist_n_1316111.html
The video is now listed as "private"? Another way to link it?
DeleteOf course, Sarah is going to say she doesn't give it a thought, she lives this [crucification by lamestream lefty hollywood media types] everyday, but she'll have her lobster hands clawed up and pawing the air like a puppy. Her tongue darting inside and out. Having Track and Bristol Google facts about Jimmy so she can try and joke about him eating dog as a child.
ReplyDeleteHer refudiation of Kimmel's jokes are going to be as cringe-worthy as her Gibson/Couric interviews.
Daily Show Jon Stewart tonight is hitting at the Secret Service including the Chaney SS dude facebook pic 'checking out' Palin.
ReplyDeleteHmmm - wonder if that pic was taken before or after his 'Todd setting him up with Shailey'?? FYI - Malia wrote a post a day or so ago about it.
thanks to the poster who contributed the jokes by the jimmy's. they're all good, but especially great are:
ReplyDelete"Sarah Palin's new autobiography doesn't come out until November, but it is already number one on Amazon. And if you go to the website, it says, 'People who bought this book also bought no other books in their entire life.'"
The Palins dream of a future in which no one will ever be disqualified from a job simply because they are unable to perform that job."
lol excellent!
Hi emrtsa, So glad that Gryphen has provided a way to reply. Here are more jokes about Sarah Palin by more comedians: http://politicalhumor.about.com/od/sarahpalin/a/palin-jokes.htm
DeleteAnd more: http://voices.yahoo.com/new-sarah-palin-jokes-1964089.html?cat=60
I've enjoyed your comments too also.

ReplyDeletecould you pl. post her many crazy wigs.
For laughs.
Tune in this sat to MSNBC to watch the White House Correspondents Dinner.
ReplyDeleteAdditionally, it will be on C-SPAN on TV and online.
DeleteBloomberg:Sarah Palin's Secret Service Blunder
ReplyDeletehttp://www.businessweek.com/videos/2012-04-20/sarah-palins-secret-service-blunder
I was so uncomfortable watching that Stephen Colbert roasting that I could only watch a couple of minutes. I'd like to see that done with a Bush stand-in-- I felt bad for the former President. I know-- he wasn't any good, but it was uncomfortable, none the less.
ReplyDeleteThink of how all the poor dumb kids who lost a limb or a face or their mind in Iraq feel because Bush lied us into war. Feel bad for someone who deserves it, not war criminal Bush.
DeleteFollow the money. 9/11 was an inside job.
DeleteI was uncomfortable, too, but it had to be done. And such things are so rare. I am sure I will never witness again such a thoroughly elegant and devastating takedown of a person in such high power. Up to and including Colbert bowing politely to Bush after telling the Emperor He Wasn't Wearing Any Clothes...damn.
DeletePeter King Says Three More Employees Out
ReplyDeleteWASHINGTON — Three more Secret Service employees have been forced out of the government, bringing to nine the number of people who have lost their jobs in the prostitution scandal roiling the agency. President Barack Obama said the employees at the center of the sordid episode were "knuckleheads," but not representative of the agency that protects his family in the glare of public life.
Obama acknowledged Tuesday that the scandal was "a little distracting" and pressed for perspective.
"These guys are incredible. They protect me. They protect Michelle. They protect the girls. They protect our officials all around the world," the president said on NBC's "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon."
"A couple of knuckleheads shouldn't detract from what they do," Obama added. "What these guys were thinking, I don't know. That's why they're not there anymore."
check comments....
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/24/secret-service-scandal_n_1450448.html
So nine have been kicked out of their jobs this week. How long did it take Bush to do ANYTHING when AbuGraib broke, when Brown screwed up Katrina, when any scandal came to light? The GOP whines ablout accountability, which they know nothing about, while this adminstration holds people accountable, and quickly.
DeleteDamn Gryph, that has to be my new favorite picture of the "Grifter." Shows her drug ridden, clueless mental illness in full glory. Can't wait for the Correspondents dinner.
ReplyDeleteLove the picture. Just took a look at C4P and they are still hoping for a brokered convention and seeing Palin win. WTH does it take to wake these people up.
ReplyDeleteI'm about to watch President Obama on Jimmy's show. Should be great.
Palin can NOT win anything at the Repub Convention. Mitt has it in the bag. Sarah didn't run in the primary and didn't take the number of states required, so she can not run for Office of the President!
DeleteThe C4P group is so damned uneducated it isn't even funny!
Does anyone know if this will be televised?? I can just see the BITCH crashing this gig!!
ReplyDeleteC-Span covers it. Also livestreams on C-Span.org and probably on the Whitehouse.org site too.
DeleteThe Colbert speech at the WHCD was the best ever. The media ignored it until videos of it started going viral. I'm so grateful to live in an age where bloggers and others have assumed the responsibilities that journalists used to perform.
ReplyDeleteThe butt of all jokes...
ReplyDeleteThe Last Half Hour Of Cabin In The Woods Was... Perhaps the grossest thing I've seen since Sarah Palin's candidacy.
http://blogs.villagevoice.com/dailymusto/2012/04/the_last_half_h.php
my hero, Stephen Colbert nailed it that night, his finest work. It was brilliant, in your face comedy that went over the heads of most there and the ones who were shocked, too funny to see their faces....loved it!!!
ReplyDeletebtw, that picture is spot on, revealing the real truth about our drug-addled Queen of Mean. Seriously, can't think of a worse picture. Yikes!
She is high on meth or something in that picture. What a evil idiot,
ReplyDeleteWhen I look at this picture of her, it is hard to doubt that Trig is her child. ;)
ReplyDeleteWAY out of line. Gryphen: that's one that ought to be removed.
DeleteIt is hard to understand why you said that.
DeleteI concur with Edie. Why is that still here? Anon 3:42, you're a putz.
DeleteTrig has Downs Syndrome, Sarah Palin is retarded. BIG difference.
DeleteWhy don't you like Sarah Palin? You apparently share her same glee for making spiteful and cruel comments.
DeleteTodd is a perverted pimp.
DeleteBristol is an uneducated no talent hoe.
Tripp and Trig are props for money.
It is going to be hard for Obama to top last year's roasting of Trump. That dinner was HISTORIC. I still get goose bumps of glee watching Trump squirm!!
ReplyDeleteYes! And consider what was going on behind the scenes as well. (Bin Laden)
DeleteSarah and Bristol Palin are heart broken that they did not win this title after all the money they spent on their cosmetic surgeries, wigs, chin implant, fake breasts, lipo, botox and all their other attempts to look young and pretty.
ReplyDeleteSarah and Bristol.... BOO FUCKING HOO!
"People magazine has named Beyonce as this year's most beautiful woman - and she's sharing the spotlight with her infant daughter, Blue Ivy."

HA HA HA LOL
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin's endorsement brought down Newt Gingrich. He was doing so good before Sarah put the "Sarah Palin Curse" on him.
Add another notch onto Sarah's endorsement failure belt!
I mailed a copy of "Boy Will be Boys" (re: Todd the pimp and Sarah knowing about it/probably involved in it!) to Kimmel. Know he'll get it after the fact, but want him to be aware of more information on the Palins.
ReplyDeleteNothing more fun watching than the Correspondent's Dinner - President Obama did a hell of a job last year (anti Trump!). Can hardly wait. He was outstanding last night on Fallon's show!
Kimmel is the most underrated nighttime comic. His routines are light years more entertaining than Leno or Letterman.
ReplyDeleteColbert's take off on Palin's Paul Revere
still brings tears of laughter to my eyes.
Palin is the ultimate political strip-tease, thrusting and rubbing her self all over a White House column. The dollars rain down and she gives them another sneak peek at what’s under that dress. See just how nasty America’s Top MILF will get for the cash at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/06/ecstasy-of-sarah-palin_15.html
ReplyDeleteBrandt ~ You are an AMAZING artist! I especially liked your rendition of Governor Haslam (R-TN) making free speech his bitch.
DeletePalin is the ultimate political strip-tease... don't forget sex addicts who doesn't know when to wear a raincoat.
ReplyDeleteDaughters like mother!
Son like father!
Mother like mother!
Tease Bristol is out there dry humping on national tv, telling her son's future friends how she conceived Tripp in a canvas tent with her friends listening outside, televising her trial marriage to Sadie Johnston's rejects, having a statue of her chon chon displayed for all to see in front of Wasilla High School....
What do you expect from that family?
Tradition means a lot to the Palins:
Sally Heath impregnated before marriage.
Sarah Heath impregnated before marriage.
Bristol Palin impregnated several times before marriage.
Willow Palin is said to have her own pregnancy scares and may be with child and forced to get engaged before getting her GED.
Track impregnated a pastor's daughter before marriage and forced her to have a roadside marriage in the snow because she wasn't pure enough to be married in her father's church.
They aint through folks, there's more Palins to follow their Palin Christian Family Values Breeding tradition. Should be a doozie seeing that they have good examples to follow.
I KNEW it! Jimmy Kimmel reads this blog! His astute observation was stolen from Gina M., but she'll take it as a complement. I loved the part that says "like bees do it".
ReplyDeleteSomeone's gonna be pissed! This WILL be worthy of a Rebecca of Stoned Fridge Farm's writing skills, explaining it's part of the attack on Conservative Women who can't control their tongue- like the loon in that photo.
