LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jimmy Kimmel didn't miss the opportunity to make light of President Joe Biden's age in a recent episode of his late-night show. In fact, he shared a hilarious segment on Biden turning 81 and compared him with some everyday essentials.
On Monday, November 20, Biden became the oldest president of the US amid ongoing discussions about age in the context of the 2024 election. If he secures reelection, he will be 82 at the commencement of his second term and 86 at its conclusion.
In a survey conducted by ABC News and the Washington Post in September, 74% of Americans expressed the view that Biden was too old to run for another term. This figure marked a 6% increase from May, a month after the POTUS announced his second bid for the White House, per ABC News.
Jimmy Kimmel checks if Joe Biden's younger or older than 'just about everything in the world'
Jimmy Kimmel offered a comically unique perspective on the POTUS' age, saying, "Joe Biden turned 81, which means he's not only the oldest president ever he's older than just about everything in the world."
He subsequently asked the audience to check if the president was older or younger than some items.
He began, "Joe Biden, born November 20th, 1942, is he older or younger than Tupperware?" As the audience cheered, "Old," Kimmel said, "The answer is, he is older than Tupperware."
Then, he asked, "Is Biden older or younger than the Slinky?" "Older," said the crowd, and he confirmed, "That's right, it was 94, older than the slinky."
Kimmel further said, "Is Joe Biden older or younger than cornflakes? Well, you might be surprised he's actually quite a bit younger. They were invented in 1906."
He later asked, "How about the bra younger or older than the bra? Mixed on that one? Biden is younger than the bra."
"Betty Crocker cake mix is Biden older or younger?" asked the host to which the crowd answered, "Old." He responded, "That's right he is older than cake mix."
Kimmel later surprisingly said that the POTUS and two-ply toilet paper "are exactly the same age."
The last question was especially intriguing as the host compared the president's age to that of kitty litter. He subsequently confirmed, "Joe Biden is indeed older than kitty littler, which, in fact, could be a great new campaign slogan for him, 'Joe Biden older than kitty litter'. So, Happy Birthday Mr President."
