The Kimmel Resistance Comes to Fort Greene

Inside, a DJ played classic Motown songs while VIP guests enjoyed Nathan’s hot dogs and negronis. Large screens showed video clips, including Jimmy wearing a Sia wig, Jimmy and Bill Murray canoeing in Newtown Creek, and Jimmy’s head popping out of a toilet in a funny public service announcement for the Department of Environmental Protection. Later, Don Barris, a seasoned comedian with a distinctive mustache, warmed up the crowd with a few rounds of applause. It became clear that the best way to get the Brooklyn audience excited was to make the event feel like a small political rally, mentioning “a little thing now with the president.” However, the only thing being launched like projectiles was T-shirts.
