Anyway, back to Kimmel.
“Queen Elizabeth II passed away today at the age of 96. I hope you are not the only one finding out about it. She was queen for 70 years, longer than any monarch in British history,” he said, beginning the monologue.
“For Americans to put this into perspective, it would be as if Kris Jenner died here. The Queen is known as the rock of England. And we have no rock in America. Of a rock in America. The closest thing is The Rock,” he continued.
“But 96—that’s a pretty good run. I feel like if you die anywhere on the FM radio dial, it… my goal is to make it to Hot 97 or maybe Power 106! Who knows,” Kimmel Said referring to some very large radio stations.
“When you think about all the people the Queen has met over the past 70 years, it’s really remarkable. She’s met anyone from Lady Bird Johnson to Lady Gaga. From Bill Clinton to Will I Am. She’s met JFK and J-LO. She’s met The Beatles and the Spice Girls. She’s met The Iron Lady and The Iron Throne. Ol’ Blue Eyes and the Blue Man Group. The President Truman and The Truman Show. She Stands Before the Fascists Done…and she stood behind them,” Kimmel said, as photos of her various meetings displayed on the screen.
“And then, after all those years, this week, he saw Harry Styles spitting on Chris Pine,” Kimmel joked. And said ‘Okay. I’ve had enough.'”
“So, we send positive thoughts to our friends in the UK, and also to all the American aunts who are obsessed with the royal family, for reasons I will never understand,” concluded Kimmel.
