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!

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.
