Kimmel to cut Weinstein a break at Oscars

According to Page Six, Jimmy Kimmel will go easy on sexual predator Harvey Weinstein when hosting the Oscar's next year, because he believes that "It's not really a laughing matter."

Of course he's correct, but apparently nothing happens to be a 'laughing matter' to the comedian anymore. In fact, I'd be surprised if he had any nose hairs left in his honker after pulling one out each time he needs to get himself to cry over some political issue.

Kimmel said he's going to tread warily with the Weinstein scandal because there may be Weinstein victims receiving the self-congratulatory award.

"It's not really a laughing matter," Kimmel said on his show, "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" referring to the rape and sexual assault allegations against Weinstein, who dismisses them as simple "mistakes" [he's] made.

"There'll be a lot of people in that room who maybe have been through experiences with him, and that's not something I want them to relive on the night they get their Oscar."

It is expected that Kimmel will surprise us by not crying at this appearance, but his fans are hoping for some tearful dramatics with the help of Chuck Schumer.
