“We are back in our studio, which we had to evacuate on Wednesday,” Kimmel began.
Some of our coworkers lost their homes.
Once again, we see our fellow men and women coming together to support each other.
Instead, I want to focus on thanking those men and women — our firefighters from L.A. were the first on the scene.
A somber Guillermo, who nearly came to stay with Kimmel, thanked God that his home was still standing after he and his family nearly evacuated.
Jimmy Kimmel, the first late-night host from Los Angeles to return to the air on Monday, was teary-eyed. Although he briefly criticized President-elect Donald Trump and “his gaggle of scumbags,” his monologue mostly concentrated on the real-life superheroes that have emerged during a “very scary, very stressful, very strange week” in the Golden State.
Kimmel started, “We’re back in our studio, which we had to evacuate on Wednesday.”. following a demonstration of the wildfires’ near-miss with the El Capitan on Hollywood Blvd. “A large number of us had to leave our homes quickly,” he continued. A few of our colleagues experienced homelessness. It’s been awful.
“The winds are back as of tonight, and I think I speak for all of us when I say it has been a sickening, shocking, awful experience,” he said. However, it has also been a lovely experience in many respects. We witness men and women uniting to support one another once more. Tonight, I don’t want to go into all the disgusting, careless, and foolish things our supposed future president and his gang of scumbags decided to say during our darkest and most terrifying hour. People who lost their own homes were out volunteering in parking lots, helping others who lost theirs. Although it’s disgusting, it’s not shocking that they decided to attack our firefighters, who are currently not “white enough” to risk their lives working for us. Rather, I would like to express my gratitude to those L firefighters. a. arrived on the scene first. They went out there right away and did their best to put out the fires. Then firefighters arrived from other states. In addition to our police, National Guard, rescue workers, doctors, nurses, EMTs, and pilots who work 12-hour shifts, we have firefighters and firefighters from Mexico and Canada. I want to thank God for all of you and these courageous people. I also want to thank our local news reporters for reminding us of the value of local newspapers and television. “.”.
As a result of the destruction, Kimmel informed his audience, he and his wife now have 19 people (along with four dogs) living with them. After he and his family almost had to evacuate, a somber Guillermo, who almost came to stay with Kimmel, thanked God that his house was still standing.
After that, there were check-ins with Police Academy star and “national treasure” Steve Guttenberg, an unlikely hero in his fire-ravaged town, and chefs Susan Feniger and Mary Sue Milliken, who are collaborating with José Andrés’ World Central Kitchen to serve firefighters free meals.
