Mike Lindell, CEO of MyPillow, is currently involved in a 48-hour livestream marathon to promote his new ‘social media’ ‘platform’, and when he wasn’t take out to several writers for The Daily Beast, he expressed disappointment with late-night host Jimmy Kimmel.
“Thank you for joining us on what, I have to admit, was one of the least productive days we’ve had here in our office in quite some time,” Kimmel said at the top of his monologue Monday night and admitted that he’s complete. obsessed “with the Trump-loving pillow salesman. “You know, a lot of people said the CEO of a pillow company couldn’t successfully launch a big social media site – and those people were 100 percent right.”
“I highly recommend it,” said Kimmel of Lindell’s “yell-a-thon,” adding, “It’s quite a spectacle. When you’re high, I recommend it. It’s like the Jerry Lewis -telethon when Jerry was on a public access channel and cracked. “
From there, the presenter played a montage of Lindell in which he repeatedly complained that he was trying to “joke” about his big launch event, before claiming that he was “praying” for him. “Thanks for all the screaming,” Kimmel replied. ‘Do you think he is really praying for me? Do you honestly think that when he said his prayers before bed, he really mentioned me? “
“What Mike Lindell doesn’t seem to understand is that I’m his biggest fan,” added Kimmel. “I have no idea what he’s doing, but I love it.” He even invited Lindell to come to his show in person for an interview in bed surrounded by pillows. “Just me and Mike snuggled side by side in a California king, surrounded by goose feather bags.”
“How is he going to do this for another thirty hours?” Kimmel asked later. ‘I hope he has a doctor on hand. I’ve looked up some of the long-term effects of crack cocaine use. Crack cocaine abuse can cause the following mental or emotional problems: aggression, extreme depression, delirium, hallucinations, irritability, mood disorders, panic attacks, paranoia, psychosis … and launching your own social media site. “
Finally, the host shared the main highlight of the day: when Lindell thought he was handling a live call from Donald Trump before quickly realizing it was a joke. “Hopefully the real Trump will come along,” said Kimmel. “Hopefully a dozen fake Trumps and then the real Trump will call. And by the way, if you come through with Mike Lindell and he thinks he has Donald Trump on the phone, join us! Don’t just scream your website, milk it out. You put the hook, bring him in! “
Kimmel decided by wishing Lindell “good luck with Delusion-Palooza”.
