What this episode covers

00:00 Well, it's quitting time. You folks are headed home from work and I know maybe anybody out there that likes to wind down their evening just before they go to bed. 00:13 watch a good late night comedy show uh... like the jimmy kimmel show i got some bad news for you jimmy kimmel fans out there jimmy kimmel is going to be taking a little bit of time off let's take a listen to what he said about it here we go over paying attention of the summer this time i would take the next two months off this time voluntarily but we have assembled a potent group of hosts to fill in for me beginning with tiffany haddish colman domingo 00:43 I've only heard of one of those people. I've only heard of one of those people and that was Jelly Roll. And I've only heard of Jelly Roll and his weird relationship with his wife now. But anyway, there's another person that Jimmy Kimmel wants to point out is going to be guest hosting for him during his hiatus. As a special treat for our commander in chief, I asked one of his all time favorites, Rosie O'Donnell, to be here. 01:14 yeah in return mister president is that you don't do anything stupid while i'm gone okay uh... i'd jimmy kimmel asking rosey o'donnell that let me tell you what that show is as it stands with jimmy kimmel as the host and they're losing money hand over this is same thing with steven colbert they're losing money 01:42 That show is unwatchable. It really is. mean, gone are the days of Carson. Gone are the days of the old David Letterman. Gone are the days of Jay Leno. Now we've got these activists out there. And to put Rosie O'Donnell as a fill-in host, listen to what this woman said. It's amazing. I don't think it happened. I think Kamala won. I do. Interesting. 02:09 and i think that we're going to find all this out it's going to come out and it's i'm not the first person to say this there are all these researchers who are saying it i read it online again today and you know that elon musk of it all what did he do for donald that was a nice uh... so we will have a little while while while while while while while i thought being an election denier 02:40 was a bad thing.

In what way did he cheat? In what weird, strange universe did Kamala Harris win? Man, I'm glad. 03:09 I'm glad that didn't happen because you know what July 4th would be like, our 250th anniversary? It would be full of diversity, equity, and inclusion. It would be full of critical race theory. It would have been, and now they're even denying that July 4th is our birthday, 1776.

That is, you want to talk about revisionist history, that's a perfect example. Perfect example of revisionist history. But to put Rosie O'Donnell on there, it's going to be nothing.

I Carson used to give it out to both sides equally. He gave it out to Reagan. He gave it out to Biden. He gave it out to everybody. But you knew. 04:53 that it was gonna be funny, and it was funny.
