2019 has gone on forever.

So much has happened that it's hard to keep track of it all! Jimmy Kimmel, who's been joking about the news every night, knows this better than most and decided to highlight it during a year-end edition of his man-on-the-street segment "Lie Witness News."

In the segment, random people were approached on the sidewalk and asked to respond to made-up events from 2019. Many of them had some pretty fascinating insights!

In vivid detail, people remembered watching Donald Trump make friendship bracelets with the Taliban.

They recalled when North and South Korea reunited.

And when Kellyanne Conway re-opened the government with a bucket of McRibs.


It was definitely a shock when Kanye West stole Greta Thurnberg's microphone at a climate change protest.

But at least we all have these cherished memories to look back on.




If anyone doubts how long 2019 has been, they can always take a glance back at some of the year's other "Lie Witness News" segments.

These laughs got us through many hard times in the year.



Happy 2020, everyone, may it be a little less crazy than we're used to!

And just remember, in the 20th century they were the Roaring 20s.

Can we recapture that again?

Even Trump's NASA Director Had To Set Kim Kardashian Straight After She Said The Moon Landing 'Didn't Happen'

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy—who is also NASA's Acting Administrator—issued the weirdest fact-check ever when he corrected reality star Kim Kardashian after she revealed herself to be a moon landing conspiracist.

Conspiracy theorists have long alleged the moon landing was fabricated by NASA in what they claim was an elaborate hoax—and Kardashian certainly made it clear where she stands in a video speaking to co-star Sarah Paulson on the set of the new Hulu drama All’s Fair.

MAGA singer Kid Rock was called out by Loretta Claiborne, the Chief Inspiration Officer of the Special Olympics, after he used the "r-word"—a known ableist slur—to describe his Halloween costume this year.

Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, was speaking with Fox News host Jesse Watters when he donned a face mask and said he'd be going as a "r**ard" for Halloween. Watters had guessed he was dressed as Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases who spearheaded the nation's COVID-19 pandemic response.
