Jimmy Kimmel Live

Time magazine today unveiled their Person of the Year for 2019, and that person is Greta Thunberg. The 16-year-old activist is the youngest woman -- youngest human -- ever to be named person of the year. And to honor this young woman who's dedicated her life thus far to saving our environment, Time will cut down thousands of trees to print two million copies of the magazine.

 

In my opinion, the person of the year has to be this guy -- his name is Bruno Cardinali, he's an executive at an American restaurant chain, and he is also the man responsible for the Popeye's chicken sandwich.

Weekend Update

According to a new poll, 37% of registered Republicans say that Donald Trump is a better president than George Washington. Now that sounds ridiculous, but then I remembered George Washington owned slaves. So I guess I would say Trump's better than that?

 

The group "One Million Moms" is boycotting the Hallmark Channel for airing a commercial featuring a same-sex couple getting married and kissing. Ladies, relax. If your kid is watching the Hallmark Channel, he's already gay as hell.
