Jimmy Kimmel Live! guest host Ike Barinholtz made an unpleasant joke about Lindsey Graham’s sister, Darline Graham, while hosting the show on Wednesday, July 15. Notably, this was the second night in a row Barinholtz made jokes connected to Graham’s death.
Ike Barinholtz joked about Darline Graham Nordone replacing Lindsey Graham in the Senate
Jimmy Kimmel Live! guest host Ike Barinholtz made a crude joke about Lindsey Graham’s sister Darline Graham replacing him in the Senate. Notably, Darline was sworn in on Tuesday to take over her brother’s Senate seat. For those unversed, she became the first female senator from South Carolina.
He said: “But the big political story today is that we officially have a replacement for Lindsey Graham in the Senate. And it’s Lindsey Graham’s sister, which is very confusing because I always thought Lindsey Graham was Lindsey Graham’s sister.”
Continuing further, Barinholtz shared: “Darline Graham Nordone, she was sworn in this afternoon on Capitol Hill and will finish her brother’s term in office. And Darline said she’ll work very hard over the next several months to support the president and she pledges to suck his t*** even harder than her brother did.”
Moreover, he joked that his sister was going to replace him as the temporary host of Jimmy Kimmel’s show. The comedian quipped: “In fact, I’m going to use it myself. I hereby decree that in the event I am unable to fill my duties here at the Jimmy Kimmel show, the remainder of my term as guest host will be served out by my sister, Ikena Barinholtz.”
The camera panned to the audience where Ike Barinholtz was seated, dressed as a woman, masquerading as his own sister. The studio audience may have laughed, but the internet was not pleased with the crude humor. One user commented: “Disgusting. Good grief.” A second user wrote: “Pure trash, nothing remotely funny.”
A third user chimed in: “What a degenerate!” Finally, a user questioned: “Was that supposed to be funny?”
