The snowballing controversy over Latin singer Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime performance just made its way to Jimmy Kimmel’s talk show, Jimmy Kimmel Live. In the latest episode, the host did what he does best. He went on to mock MAGA over their outrage over Bad Bunny headlining the event, which is scheduled to take place in February next year.
In the latest episode, Jimmy Kimmel touched upon the big news of the week, among which was obviously the Bad Bunny controversy. According to The US Mirror, Jimmy Kimmel made a joke about Speaker Mike Johnson, who had suggested 82-year-old singer Lee Greenwood’s name as a replacement for Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl halftime show.
“The only name he could come up with is Lee Greenwood,” joked Jimmy Kimmel. “Lee Greenwood is 82-years-old! Mike, besides God Bless The USA, name one Lee Greenwood song. Name one and we’ll let him do the half-time show, I promise!” Jimmy Kimmel added, per The US Mirror.
For context, if needed at all, NFL’s choice of Bad Bunny has been flagged as controversial by US President Donald Trump, the MAGA and media outlets such as Fox News, who have been calling the body’s decision to feature a Spanish-speaking artist on Super Bowl Halftime as “un-American.”
