While I like my chickens with Buffalo Sauce, turns out they are more than just yummy in my tummy.
Yesterday on Jimmy Kimmel Live, they brought on an eggcellent chicken who can play the piano. Not only can Jokgu play Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, she can also peck out America the Beautiful. The ABC late night show saw the chick do it on YouTube, and they wanted to know if she could she do it in front of a live audience.
At first it didn’t seem like she could, but then she let her beak tickle the ivories and beautiful music was coming out from the keys.
Who knew chickens were so talented? Rose Nylund, that is who! Remember the episode of The Golden Girls when Rose brought home Count Bessie, another chicken who was pianist eggtraordinaire! I wonder if Jokgu and Count Bessie are hatched from the same egg lineage? That would make Jokgu Count Bessie’s great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great granddaughter.
In case you forgot about that eggciting scene from The Golden Girls below, you can watch it below because it is eggactly what you need today to make the World seem like a much better place!
BTW how did someone realize that chickens can play the piano? I mean do you leave a little one out in the barn and tell them to go play? And why is it the chicks that are musical and not the hens? Don’t the hens need to woo the chicks, so they can make babies? I mean like my eggs, but I like my Buffalo Chicken more. On that note, guess what I am going to go eat now.
Robert De Niro might not be on Twitter, but that doesn’t mean that people don’t Tweet about him. Yesterday on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the ABC late night show gave him his own Mean Tweets segment and the Oscar winner responded to them in his own special way. A way that would make Vito Corleone proud!
So sit back, watch and prepare to laugh as hard as you did with him in Meet the Fockers. He was so hilarious in that! Who knew at that time that he was so funny? Now we know.
The other day Variety said in the title of their article with an interview of Jimmy Kimmel that he was thinking of retiring in 3 years when his contract is up at ABC. Today, Ellen DeGeneres asked him about on her daytime talk show and he said that was a big misunderstanding. He explained what happened, “I did an interview and the guy asked me ‘Do you ever think of about, like, retiring?’ And I said, ‘I still have 3 years left on my contract until 2020 and who knows at the end of that maybe I.’ I definitely didn’t say I was retiring.”
Then the internet went crazy and said that he was. He was touched by all the people who care about him, but then the next articles were who could replace him. The late night host said there were some really good suggestions and maybe ABC should consider them. He was joking, but do you think he should consider it?

Jimmy Kimmel has been hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live for 14 years now, making him the longest running late night host on broadcast television. He recently sat down with Variety and told them he has an end date in sight. The ABC late night host said, “I know I will do the show for another three years (his contract expires in 2019),” adding, “It’s possible that will be it. My wife’s pregnant. At a certain point, I’d like to have a little more free time. I have very little free time as it is.”
He says he spends 70 hours working on the show a week rewriting the monologue and researching guests. Thus, you can’t blame him for wanting to spend more time with his 2 year old daughter Jane and his future child. Although, since his wife is his the co-head writer, can they afford to both be out of work?
When it comes to ABC letting him go, I wouldn’t be surprised if they wanted to change things up. Now that Stephen Colbert has seen an upswing in viewers after the inauguration, Jimmy Fallon is still leading the 11:35p hour and Kimmel has stayed in last place, it wouldn’t be shocking if they decided to try something new. Even though he made viral videos a thing with late night TV, Fallon and Corden now own the market. ABC has a lot of people who could fill his shoes, so would you be surprised if they went shoe shopping?
Granted, that could all change if ABC sees a huge ratings increase with the Oscars this Sunday, but with most of the nominees barely being seen by the average movie goer, I doubt it. I wish him luck with that.
