Jimmy Kimmel Laughs Over Fox Calling JD Vance ‘Cool’: ‘He Even Sits Backwards in a Chair Sometimes’ | Video

Jimmy Kimmel couldn’t hold back his laughter when it came to Fox News’ praise for Vice President JD Vance.

After days of bloated Vance memes overtaking the Internet, the politician finally responded to the jokes. Last week, conservative reporter Julio Rosas wrote on X that he can confirm Vance “has seen many of the memes/edits of his pictures and thinks it’s a funny trend.” This led to a segment on Fox News where one correspondent called Republicans “the cool party now” and saying of Vance, “He’s like a cool guy.”

“Yeah, he’s a regular Spuds MacKenzie, you know? I hear he even sits backwards in a chair sometimes,” Kimmel joked on Monday night.

It should be noted that these Vance memes were not created to laugh with the Vice President. The first one came after Vance and Donald Trump’s widely covered and criticized meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. After Vance claimed that Zelenskyy has not said “thank you” to the United States for supporting Ukraine during its war with Russia, the first of these memes emerged, featuring a distorted Vance saying, “You have to say pwease and tank you, Mistow Zensky.” That post has been viewed on X 13.2 million times and sparked a trend of people editing Vance’s face.

“It’s depressing to see these non-people in positions of power here in our country,” Kimmel continued. “But I feel like it makes it even more fun when someone like King Charles for instance, who unveiled his Apple Music playlist today, opens his mouth and shows the world how strange he is.”

The comedian then played a clip of King Charles saying that one of his favorite songs — “The Loco-Motion” — is “music for dancing” and that it has “that infectious energy, which makes it, I find, incredibly hard to sit still.”

“We need to get him on ‘The Masked Singer,'” Kimmel joked. Watch the full monologue above.
