Hillary Clinton Performs Feat of Strength on Jimmy Kimmel Live

In the past week, a lot of speculation has been made about the health of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. While in California, she stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live to dispel the rumors that she’s in poor health. Those rumors were fueled by the Republican nominee Donald Trump and his surrogate, former America’s Mayor and current America’s loud crazy neighbor who screams a lot, Rudy Giuliani. Jimmy Kimmel gave Hillary Clinton a strenuous test of physicality by challenging her to open a jar of pickles. A test every American knows can sometimes require Herculean strength. Watch the video below to see if the former Secretary of State could beat the pickle jar challenge.

Kimmel’s interview with the candidate then took a really awkward turn when he gave her a second challenge – to see if she could read actual Donald Trump quotes with a straight face. What started out as a fun idea with a Trump jar adorned with an orange wig filled with Trump quotes soon turned really uncomfortable as Hillary Clinton read out loud a Donald Trump quote about Rosie O’Donnell including his comments about that “fat ugly face of hers”. You can watch below to see the one Donald Trump quote that Hillary Clinton couldn’t bring herself to read on national television. Jimmy had to jump in and read it for her. Without spoiling it, just know it’s a Trump classic.

After Jimmy was done offering fake laughter to cut through the tension of Trump quote bit, he wanted to know where he landed in the Secretary’s running mate vetting process. Jimmy Kimmel had been trying to get a grass roots campaign going to become the next Vice-Presidential nominee of either party. He offered arguments on why Hillary Clinton’s choice, Senator Tim Kaine should not be her VP. The reasons ranged from his ringtone and dance choices to how he would handle meeting foreign dignitaries. Kimmel suggested, “It’s not too late to dump Timmy and get Jimmy”. He was finally offered a brand government position designed just for him by Hillary.

And in trying to keep up with the tradition of the great party conventions held during election years, the interview ended with probably one of the weakest balloon drops in political history. Ease up on the purse strings ABC, Jimmy Kimmel Live obviously needs a bigger budget.
