Jack Byrd is so hilarious....can't believe the fact that he can stay in character and don't cracked up LOL

[@carlosmatos9848]

@ Lol, I think hes probably just ate so many shrooms in his lifetime all he can do is sit back and laugh at our modern day idiocracy.

[@tomriddle8933]

His character is already pretty cracked up.

[@craigmosley]

His real name is Tony barbieri. Hes a writer. Did mad magazine for quite awhile than went into writing comedy sitcoms. Hes funny af. Love this guy.

[@monkmell]

You know what? Perhaps it’s not such a good thing to “out” him publicly by posting his real identity like you have done here. I’m not for one second suggesting you’ve done this with any sinister intent! but considering the work he does for Jimmy Kimmel, “mocking” people for our entertainment, I know “I” wouldn’t appreciate my true identity to be floating around the net, just waiting for some lunatic to get it into their head that they’re going to get some sort of “justice on behalf of their “slighted” hero.” Perhaps you could remove your comment?…just in case! Take care and be happy. 😊

[@artistathlete6525]

He totally is Mad Magazine.

[@collinadams3680]

Everytime I see Jake byrd in my feed I get soooooo excited. Then I look at the date it was published and wished byrd was every week on Kimmel.

[@nakianiteshade]

Mirrors? LOL to make it look like there are more people there than the actual amount."Its a very classy touch." - Trump

[@HEARTNHUSTLESTUDIOS]

Yes LOL at mirrors. Obviously a stunt by Trump 2020

[@richardbaker2120]

Trump is going to win again. 😂

[@jonathanduplantis1403]

[@lowlycalvin5644]

I'm still not sure if he's actually a Trump supporter.

[@isatetreault]

i mean i'm like 95% sure its satirical but who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@rhapsody85]

No its a character. His real name is Tony Barbieri, he works as a writer on Jimmy Kimmel most of the time, also stars in cult classic Windy City Heat

[@vjmappy]

2:04 "Mr. Trump understands that we have power through might..." --- is like saying we have heat through warmth.

[@wisconsinfarmer4742]

He never loses character.

[@SP3NC3RXD]

I want to see him get noticed by Trump again lol

[@the4eyecat]

Mole play!

[@joshbee5901]

2:09 “wonderful negotiator” *just started ww3 with Iran after tweeting*

[@alexj7440]

Knowing trump supporters they probably think it’s a negotiating technique

[@alexj7440]

Rexknopf 007 Only because of Iran showing restraint

[@michaelpierce2018]

@J Hobo, your a fukin moron, we took out the man who was designated by our intelligence community to be the number 1 terrorist in the world, a man who is responsible for killing over 600 americans. Stop watching CNN and spreading your propaganda you fukin idiot

[@Zec123ify]

world war with iran, so much wrong in 1 sentence

[@alexj7440]

Michael Pierce by that logic should trump not be killed?

[@hannahrae927]

Jake gives me Bill Murray 'What About Bob?' Vibes lol

[@monkmell]

I wish I had his nerve! What an incredibly articulate, fast thinking, funny as hell guy! 😂❤

[@kwanwonchung]

they should have sent Guillermo lol

[@Henry8757]

There are Mexican Trump supporters believe it or not.

[@whatajerk]

What's his name?

[@amethyst0285]

No, Guillermo doesn’t deserve that just for the sake of laughs. He’s a human.

[@Megan80]

4:44 Peter Griffin is a Republican?

[@dylanjones268]

I would assume the creators had Republican in mind when they created the character.

[@kamranmirza3969]

lmao

[@nunchucktaylor3488]

He is a catholic. One thing Catholics and republicans have in common is they hate fun.

[@greysonwayne1741]

[@Henry8757]

Considering that criminal Hilary won the nomination. Yes it will be hilarious seeing all the SJW's screaming, "Pokemon lives matter!" at the convention. The corrupt media only covers good things about Hilary and Bad things about Trump. Which is why we have the two most hated politicians in the U.S. candidates for president. #Bernieorbust #JillStein2016
