There’s been a lot of talk about Kanye West (AKA Yeh) and his increasingly bold and hateful anti-Semitic comments. But on “Jimmy Kimmy Live” Wednesday, Kimmel came up with an amusing pun that’s certainly not good enough considering everything else is certainly appropriate for the crime.
So, early Wednesday, AK Kanye West was in the news again when it emerged that he appeared unannounced at the Los Angeles office of the shoe company Skechers. You have certainly been put off by most of the companies he works with, most notably Adidas, which ended his line of shoes and apparently drastically reduced his income he’s not a billionaire anymore,
You had a feeling he might be able to land some kind of new shoe deal with the Manhattan Beach-based shoe giant. No dice. The company kicked him out of the building and issued a statement condemning his recent scathing comments and insisting it “has no intention” of doing business with him.
A strange, ironic thing, Kanye was Photographed while buying food at a bagel shop Just before trying to enter the Skechers office. Which prompted Kimmel’s proper punishment.
“Skecher,” Kimmel said during his monologue, “is owned by the Greenberg family, so they immediately threw him out and made a statement condemning him. Ironically, it’s no joke, sneaking into Skechers. First, he stopped at the bagel shop next door.
“She shouldn’t be allowed to eat bagels anymore, right? At least,” Kimmel joked.
“Lock him up,” Kimmel said, referring to the “lock him up” slogan that Donald Trump used consistently in 2016.
“Not great news for Kanye. Madame Tussauds in London removed his wax figure…they would melt it and make a bunch of little Kevin Hurts, I heard,” Kimmel continued. “And some big-name athletes have been left out – they had a sports management company called Donde Sports, which included two of their biggest clients: the Rams’ Aaron Donald and the Celtics’ Jaylen Brown. The athlete who would be dumb enough to sign with Donde Sports is Herschel Walker.
This certainly led to some jokes about the Georgia US Senate candidate. You can see this, and more, in the full monologue, which we’ve embedded at the top of the page. But If You Want To Skip Straight On Kanye Stuff, Here It Starts
