So Much Bizarre Stuff Happened In 2019 That Jimmy Kimmel Made Some Things Up And People Were Still Convinced

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.

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.

Now, unfortunately, the journey continues, as Coulier revealed during an interview with TODAY after Thanksgiving weekend that just seven months after being declared cancer-free, he's since been diagnosed with a "P16 squamous carcinoma," which is a form of cancer that concentrates in the head and neck, and in Coulier's case, in his tongue.

Matrix co-creator Lilly Wachowski has opened up about what it's been like to see her magnum opus The Matrix be co-opted by the far-right.
