    Jimmy Kimmel : “Lie Witness News” Provides Answers to the Question

    Thursday, April 25th, 2013 @ 8:15 pm | Entertainment, You Think So

     

     On April 28, 2012, comedian, tv personality and writer, Jimmy Kimmel said and did this at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, D.C. when he was the featured act:
    “I also want to thank Mr. Mills, my 10th grade high school history teacher, who said I’d never amount to anything if I kept screwing around in class. Mr. Mills, I’m about to high-five the President of the United States.”    Kimmel then high-fived the President, Barack Obama,  returned to the podium, and concluded with, “Eat it, Mills.”

    Around here, at YouThinkWhat, our staff often pose the question in jest, particularly after conversing with someone who doesn’t know what they do not know:

    “Do two people who do not know what they’re talking about know more or less than one person who does not know what he is talking about?”

    Jimmy Kimmel, one of our favorite late night comedians, provides the answer to the question in his regularly featured comic segment, “Lie Witness News”; it’s a series of comic video sketches which spoof the news format, Eye Witness News, created in the 1960s by teevee news executive Al Primo.  He’s also the innovative  genius who brought to the world of television news, “happy talk”. “Happy talk”, as Primo named it is what news anchors and weather or sports presenters are doing when they chit and chat with one another like old friends at a cocktail party or other social events, before, during and after delivering the news of the day . (We think “Lie Witness News” is what viewers are getting everyday from the mainstream media. All the networks serve daily lies created by and promulgated for the governments.)

    In a two to three minute video featured in Kimmel’s “Lie Witness News” segment, a question is asked of the man/woman on the street being interviewed; typically the person(s) has no clue, however the respondent forges ahead with a made up answer in order to appear hip, happenin’, informed, and socially acceptable, while not realizing they’d be better off being socially awkward, admitting they are uninformed on the topic, rather than looking the total fool as they endlessly bloviate about a topic of which they know absolutely nothing. The result is two to three minutes of great comedy.

    In the following example we see people telling us about bands they enjoy at this year’s Coachella Music Festival held annually in Fornicalia. On the face of it their responses sound credible…except the bands are made up! They do not exist. Jimmy Kimmel explains as he introduces the piece.

    Now that’s ^^^^ comedy, folks!
