Jimmy Kimmel spoofs California governor Gavin Newsom vs MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell debate in hilarious skit
MANHATTAN, NEW YORK CITY: Jimmy Kimmel is excited about an upcoming debate between California Governor Gavin Newsom and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, jokingly comparing it to a showdown between Mario and his evil counterpart Wario.
Kimmel points out that while DeSantis is running for president, Newsom is not, making the debate seem unusual.
He humorously likens it to the random challenges between Mario and Wario in a go-kart race.
Skit imagines how the Lindell vs Newsom debate would go
A couple of minutes into the show, Kimmel mentions in his monologue the GOP debate scheduled on Fox News and hints at other debates that Newsom has scheduled.
He said, "Tomorrow night is the...um....big night!"
"The debate nobody asked for; our governor here in California, Gavin Newsome, versus Florida Governor Ron DeSantis..."
Jimmy Kimmel adds a humorous twist, revealing that while the mentioned debate is happening, Governor Newsom is currently in Minnesota debating another GOP figure, Mike Lindell, the CEO of My Pillow.
Kimmel playfully suggests checking in on the Lindell vs Newsom debate, creating a comedic scenario of multiple debates involving the California governor.
Not only that, Kimmel presents a satirical snippet of the Lindell vs Newsom debate, humorously portraying Mike Lindell suggesting extreme measures to make voting more difficult, like having a single voting poll in a remote forest with only one pen chained to an old wrench.
Meanwhile, Governor Newsom responds sarcastically, emphasizing California's focus on accessibility, listing absurd methods of voting, and highlighting the diversity of approved voting approaches.
The comedic exchange adds a lighthearted touch to the serious topic of voter fraud accusations. Kimmel concludes by remarking on the apparent chaos of the debate, moving on other topics before circling back to C-SPAN.
'Stop the steal'
Jimmy Kimmel's skit took a humorous turn as parody debate raged on.
The speaker portraying Mike Lindell, expresses frustration with Gavin Newsom and Silicon Valley, accusing them of manufacturing vaccine microchips and fake enhancements for exotic dancers.
The actor humorously boasts about California's diverse industries, including weed gummies, Chihuahua farming and artisanal pornography.
The mention of "Trump wants us to stop the steal" is a playful nod to a political slogan, linking it to conspiracy theories about voting machines.
The actor then comically claims to be magnetic, attributing it to a plate in their head that interferes with table buzzers and fun Ruckers, humorously explaining their decision to skip the booster shot.
Closing the show on a humorous note
Jimmy Kimmel playfully wraps up the parody debate, highlighting the comedic dynamics between the fictional characters portraying Gavin Newsom and Mike Lindell.
The satire includes Lindell's humorous obsession with eating during the debate, promoting My Pillow products, and comically mispronouncing "bottle caps" as "bottle craps."
The closing statements add to the humor, with Governor Newsom praising the diverse individuals in California, including healers, therapists, and "botox shamans."
Meanwhile, actor portraying Lindell promotes his products and engages in playful banter.
Kimmel breaks the illusion, bringing in a surprise appearance and joking about building bridges and preparing for the debate with Governor DeSantis.
