The sketch began with the late-night host descending from a tour bus that had written on the side: “Kimmel for vice president”.

There’s a fresh face on the US political scene: Jimmy Kimmel, who last night announced he was running for Vice-President of the United States under the slogan, “I don’t need a #1 to make a #2”.
“It’s time to take our country back”, Jimmy declared. “The promise of America has been broken, the future of our democracy is slipping through our fat buttery hands. Millions of people are scared. but no one ever has to be scared again, because tonight, I am humbled to announce, that I’m officially running for Vice President of the United States”.
Kimmel then took questions from the studio audience. But Kimmel said: “It’s too late for anyone to do that”.
Asked if he would build a wall, Kimmel said he would, but on the northern border to ‘keep the Mexicans out of Canada’.
To make the joke even more legit, Kimmel had CNN anchors Jake Tapper, Dana Bash and Wolf Blitzer interrupt his show with “breaking news” of Kimmel’s candidacy. After answering several questions about policy and his lead in the polls (since there’s now no VP competition) Blitzer asked the most important question: “Do you think you’re making a mockery of this election?”

“I love this country so much, if it was a woman, I would have sex with it”, Kimmel replied.
