A recent episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday, November 23, 2023, the always witty host, Jimmy Kimmel, turned the spotlight on President Joe Biden’s age, transforming a potentially serious topic into a side-splitting game that left the audience in stitches.
Known for his diverse roles in entertainment, Kimmel, a TV host, comedian, writer, producer, and political commentator, took on the additional role of a game show host during the episode.
He cleverly weaved jokes about Biden’s age into a guessing game, challenging the audience to decide whether everyday items were older or younger than the 81-year-old president.
Kimmel’s humor not only provided laughter but also brought attention to the ongoing debates about Biden’s age, especially following his recent birthday celebration.
Every time Joe Biden has a birthday, it feels like a political misstep. Why would you do that? You’re old enough! joked Kimmel, capturing the essence of the public discussions surrounding Biden’s age.
As discussions about a maximum age limit for presidents gain momentum, Kimmel playfully claimed that Biden not only holds the record for the oldest president but is practically older than just about everything in the world.
The highlight of the show was Kimmel’s quiz show segment, where he asked the audience to guess whether certain items were older or younger than Biden.
With questions comparing Biden’s age to inventions like Tupperware, the Slinky, cornflakes, Betty Crocker’s cake mix, and even two-ply toilet paper, the audience enjoyed a hilariously educational ride.
According to Fox News, Kimmel threw out questions like, Is Joe Biden older or younger than Tupperware? and Is Biden older or younger than the Slinky? The audience successfully guessed that Biden was older than Tupperware and the Slinky but surprisingly younger than cornflakes, invented in 1906.
Kimmel continued the comparisons, revealing that Biden shares a birth year with Betty Crocker’s cake mix (1949) and even two-ply toilet paper.
The playful banter and quirky comparisons sparked laughter, with Kimmel skillfully blending humor and historical facts.
In a surprising twist, Kimmel presented the audience with a final item: kitty litter. To everyone’s amusement, the audience guessed that kitty litter was ‘younger’ than President Biden, leading Kimmel to jokingly propose a campaign slogan: Joe Biden, older than kitty litter!
Kimmel’s clever and entertaining game turned a potentially sensitive political topic into a light-hearted, comical affair, showcasing his talent for merging entertainment with current affairs.
