Tearful Jimmy Kimmel Praises Emergency Workers & People Of LA Amid “Very Scary” & “Terrible” Week


Jimmy Kimmel has been working on Hollywood Blvd for over 20 years and he returned today to give a heartfelt thanks to everyone who has helped amid the devastating wildfires in LA. The comedian opened his show, fighting back tears, by calling it a “very scary, very stressful, very strange week here in LA” but […]

He also paid tribute to chefs Susan Fenifer and Mary Sue Milliken for feeding people, as well as actor Steve Guttenberg, who has been helping put out fires and clearing cars so emergency vehicles can reach the affected areas in the Palisades. He closed by saying a few things that Angelinos had learned over the last week including the names of every local news reporter, that there’s such a thing as a “boiling water advisory”, that Steve Guttenberg’s a goddamn national treasure, that most of us are useless in an emergency situation, new words such as “Slopover” and “Phos-chek”, that there is a socially acceptable use for the word “retardant”, that there was a Bunny Museum in Altadena, that none of our out-of-state family members – know the difference between Santa Monica and Santa Clarita and that whoever was sending out those emergency notifications to evacuate – should not be doing that job. Joining Kimmel on the show tonight is LA icon Snoop Dogg and comedian Roy Wood Jr. as well as the band Dawes, who have been hit hard by the fires, coming from Altadena.
