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

[@mohamedsudheer9163]

"Look its Chris Christie...GET HIM!!" LMFAOOOO

[@AlmostaFlipinSkater]

Holy shit. I can't believe they actually played the Unnecessary Censorship *at* the dinner. That's hilarious.

[@johnkuelling9571]

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

[@yasisoufi]

Me too! Kimmel is crazy 🤣🤣🤣

[@AlmostaFlipinSkater]

@@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.

“It’s one thing to oppose gay marriage, it’s another altogether to do it in a sweater vest.”

[@Anna-ql9gl]

david mcdavidson hahaha!

[@DoN253]

+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?

[@annacornykova9023]

+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. ( :

[@SteelersRule1011]

+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.

[@1994jhg]

Jimmy did a really good job on this one.

I hate it when people can't laugh at themselves at these kind of events. You would look much more dignified and a lot less uptight if you at least cracked a smile at your own expense.

[@DreamsGoneToDie]

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

[@AmericanHoney88881]

Jimmy Kimmel crushed his delivery....he was authentic and confident...with witty material...and he read the room well. Some others appear to just be reading a tablet left on top of the podium whereas Jimmy seemed to know his material inside-and-out, and was very comfortable in the spotlight.

[@shmoeg]

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

[@TheDairack]

Kimmel absolutely SHREDDED this one. The best host in my opinion.

[@saksit247]

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

[@HalfLifeHalfDead]

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

[@SetzerII]

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.

[@totalbliss1]

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

[@carlplz00001]

[@Nordikaventurier]

One of the smartest comedians EVER right there. I enjoy every minute of hearing him think outloud

[@Balin93]

Great Chris Farley tribute there!

[@TheOutlanderReport]

Wow he did a Ricky Gervais at the Emmys. He roasted everyone. I'm binge-watching correspondence dinner speeches and Kimmel is definitely the most "edgy".

[@newwavenancy]

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.
