C-SPAN: Jimmy Kimmel at the 2012 White House Correspondents' Dinner 

Holy shit I can't believe that you are ignorant

Holy shit, you should go back to the 2006 when Steven Colbert was invited and bashed Bush for an awkward 30 straight minutes

Drew SHUT THE FUCK UP

Me too! Kimmel is crazy 🤣🤣🤣

@@HighBrowComedy yeah. I know. Colbert spoke truth to power. Kimmel was just making crude jokes. Acknowledging both things are not mutually exclusive from one another.

david mcdavidson hahaha!

+david mcdavidson can you explain it to me? i'm german. i dont get the joke although i can understand the words. he is against gay marriage but whats the thing about the sweater vest?

+DoN253 Heterosexual men generally dont wear sweater vests, not in the U.S. anyway. So it was funny he was opposing gay marriage in a sweater vest. ( :

+DoN253 Jimmy Kimmel is implying in a humorous manner that it is odd that Rick Santorum opposes homosexual marriage when he himself looks like a homosexual.

@@dropndeuces82 oh wow... what an idiotic comment

Makes me think of Donald Trump. If you watch some of the videos from the 2011 dinner, he gets ripped to shreds by the President and Seth Meyers. You can't see his face too clearly, but what you can see suggests that he is pissed. Which makes it that much funnier. :D

DreamsGoneToDie and, spoiler alert, he did not even show up in 2017 😃 (Yah, I just watched that and came back to watch every year corresponding dinner.)

Right. Everyone’s literally getting grilled. I have a hard time with jokes & I’d even laugh because in the same moment everyone else in the entire room is gettn it too lol

I beg to differ. With all due respect- Jimmy Kimmel a shallow man and not really funny, just a liberal with a bloated ego.

@@drinkmoreorganicplants9459 Well you're entitled to your opinion. Even if its wrong

The first lady laughing her ass off just made it better.

Semilore Olusa this is better than conan

OmNomNomNomNom Not in my opinion but you're entitled to yours.

Semilore Olusa no shit.

OmNomNomNomNom Alrighty then. Have a good day I guess.

+Semilore Olusa Craig Ferguson is much better than Conan.

Erik Axzell I

Great Chris Farley tribute there!

+Derek Rogers ....see Colbert. He ripped Bush right in front of his face non stop.

+Derek Rogers Yeah, IMO nobody can touch Colbert's roast.

Colbert did have an amazing set, but I think it's in a set of its own - being the only one to play against the crowd. For the rest of them, Kimmel was excellent, and check Craig Ferguson's for another great Correspondent's Dinner.

Hell no. Craig Ferguson, Conan, Colbert. Kimmel would be close to last.

U must Seth Meyers

+AmethystEyes Same with me :)

+AmethystEyes Nothing beats Colbert in my opinion.

+jfaulsti10 Except for the 4 that Amethst listed.

AmethystEyes Colbert

Definitely. I didn't know how to put it but you summed it up perfectly. His cadence was natural and not stiff. Which makes it a lot funnier and less forced

I think a lot of commenters are really underestimating the level of seemingly life and death political tension and general uncertainty post 9/11. As a liberal you could ostracize yourself by not being openly patriotic. The word "patriot" was used more than "snowflake" is now. Even MSNBC fired 3 different hosts because they didn't support the Iraq war. In context and in content, Colbert exceeded edginess. It wasn't a clever roast like this, or like Gervais at the Emmys (who I love), it was shocking, true satire, and people still ask him about it on a regular basis. With Obama, it was totally different political climate, and thank god for that. If Trump would actually show up to one there might be another shot at being truly subversive.

Cicely Strong

His adorable kids were still in the cabbage patch.

Erm... Colbert?

Wait until you get to Wolf

Sounds good.

+Applehead feather Terrible idea, John Oliver is a fucking idiot. His thick-rimmed hipster glasses and radical liberal agenda don't make him intelligent, right, or wanted.

+Maloney Bologna agreed!

+Maloney Bologna shut the fuck up

+Maloney Bologna His Cambridge university degree does though.

It is really good in terms of the roasts! However, in my humble opinion, Kimmel rushes a bit with the delivery. Colbert was (to me) in that regard better, Conan also.

+Dabket3araB Colbert

+Baxa KK Mchale

Dabket3araB Conan!!

Seth Myers dude hilarious

Dabket3araB conan was better but still he was very funny

It took me out!!!

Barbwa Wawa didn't seem to like it, haha

@@lordemed1 She was smiling. She can take a joke.

I've never even seen Scooby Doo and that was funny. It also cracked Obama up pretty hard.

Kimmel is a brainless Zombie.

Could u explain it?

black basketball players and kardashians.

+MrSting17 totally disagree kimmel was great but conan was even better

wanda sykes was awesome to

Lol ya ok . Horrible compared to Letterman or Carson

Yet he fucking nailed it.

Funny and true! 17:34😂😂

miklas1911 that's why we love him

miklas1911 never criticizes Democrats....so ballsy

He was in the audience once and the host (Seth Myers, i think) tore him a new one. Trump just radiated seething rage and hatred.

@@shadowcat1606 only a hateful person will say such a thing. The greatest President TRUMP, ( I am a democrat )has done more for this country than any of the Bushes, Clinton or Obama. President TRUMP radiated true form and courage , changing our economy that is the envy of the world, the only President who did not take a paycheck - the only President almost crucified by the media and the lying democrats in Congress for doing his job. Your eyes and your heart walking deadman19 is the only one seething in rage and hatred...these dinners are a waste of time, only serves the egos of attendees like the Romans of old before their fall. Democrats for TRUMP 2020!

@@drinkmoreorganicplants9459 that's the saddest, most pathetic attempt at a trolling i've ever seen. And on youtube that really says something. Unless you're serious, in which case you're an obvious example as to how medicare under Trump fails horribly, because you're what happens when people can't afford their medication.

Drink More Organic Plants telling the truth isn’t a great thing here...

He sat there at Obama's 2011 Dinner, took it with composure, and then he went took that man's job, the most powerful position in the world. If that's not the biggest dick swinging move, idk what is; he doesn't have to attend after earning that Xbox Achievement

That scumbag has a good poker face huh?

I think he did it in 95

Agreed, one of the safer monologues, a lot of cheeky one-liners but nothing 'savage' as some commenters are saying. The best performances are those that make the crowd shuffle in their seats

@@pattypaan because more than half are algorithm comments Any real human will acknowledge which are the real deal like conan

Kim Håkansson well now he’s never gonna do it 😶 John Oliver would absolutely murder this !

Louis C.K. doing this gig would have been like that episode where he opened up for Seinfeld at the benefit in the Hamptons

Kimmel is a brainless Zombie.

Eh, I think they are close. Wanda had the best joke, but Jimmy had far more good ones.

Lla Ming Jimmy did.

Phillip Guetterman Yeah, but he got a high-five. That counts for something!
