Amy Poehler and Jimmy Kimmel Both Love Bits

by | October 4th, 2012

Last night on Late Night, Amy Poehler and Jimmy Kimmel both bonded over their mutual love of doing bits and how they were each excited to have lost at the Emmys because it allowed them to do the elaborate jokes they wanted to do. Poehler lost to Julia Louis-Dreyfus but got to pretend like they accidentally swapped speeches and Kimmel lost to The Daily Show but got to have his parents escorted out of the awards show in retaliation for believing in him too much. Let's hope these two never win any awards, for the sake of great bits.
