'Kimmel' Guest Host Anthony Anderson Drops F-Bomb In Urgent Plea After Trump Attack
HuffPost
The actor/comic had a serious message before he dove into the night's jokes.
Actor Anthony Anderson earned a couple of bleeps from ABC on Monday night as he filled in for late night host Jimmy Kimmel just days after Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt.
“All weekend, I kept thinking, ‘I wonder what Jimmy Kimmel’s gonna say about this on Monday,’” he said, then got his first bleep: “And then I was like, ‘Oh shit! I am Jimmy Kimmel on Monday.’”
But before he got started with the jokes, Anderson ― who is hosting all week ― had a message.
“In all seriousness, I do wanna say that our thoughts are with the families of the victims,” he said, before getting his second bleep: “And that hopefully, this will be a moment that we can all take a step back from the hatred and vitriol in our politics and maybe chill the fuck out.”
He also had some advice for coping with the current climate.
