Jimmy Kimmel is well known for his outlandish ideas, given expression in his comedy. Ideas which can lead to hilariously funny TV, but which at times have gotten him into hot water.
It's the nature of what he is, and what he does.
Now he has it seems, if the huge viral popularity of this idea has got anything to do with support for the idea from the public, taken a hold and has become a strain of that that huge numbers of fans on social media are talking about. Right now his Facedbook likes on top web magazine TMZ, alone, are showing a thumbs up count of over 4,500 likes, all built-up in less than a day.
Jimmy Kimmel: I'm Rooting for Hackers to Take Down ISIS
Count Jimmy Kimmel is among the people suddenly cheering for the once hated hacking group, Anonymous ... since it's decided to target the terrorists.
Jimmy was heading out of Craig's and we asked if he thinks the people condemned for exposing financial and personal information of average citizens ... can really take down ISIS -- as it vowed to do in the wake of the Paris terror attacks.
Anonymous claims it's already dismantled thousands of social media accounts for ISIS followers. Check out Jimmy's reply -- he's a believer in the whole zero to hero thing.
Yay, hackers?
There is no doubt that although ISIS may be pretty cute at using social media as a publicity vehicle, the sorts of computer types that can patiently set-up computer systems securely and keep them closed from attack from knowledgeable hackers, as unlikely to be many.
Then also, there is clearly huge scope for even the newest trainee hacker to close down social accounts, presumably that can be done simply by clciking on those links you see which enables anyone to "report abuse", when in this can "abuse" is any use of their social media accounts for anything illegal at all.

Kimmel's Disturbing Kids Table’ Show Episode
I was very disturbed by Jimmy Kimmel’s ‘Kids Table’ show. It was aired on ABC recently and talked about killing all the Chinese so that the states do not need to pay back their debts to China. The kids might not know anything better.
However, Jimmy Kimmel and ABC’s management are adults. They had a choice not to air this racist program, which promotes racial hatred.....
The parties involved have already apologized independently. Jimmy Kimmel has apologized on-air, and issued a written apology. ABC has removed the skit from future broadcasts, taken the clip down from online platforms, and detailed several changes in its programming review process in response to this incident.

Jimmy Kimmel Live! "Preposterous" Ideas
On last night’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, we were treated to a solid sketch featuring Jimmy Kimmel showing up on the set of Shark Tank to pitch a few outlandish ideas. Now because both shows air on ABC, Kimmel didn’t have to use stand-ins a’la Saturday Night Live. On the contrary, he actually got to present his preposterous ideas to the show’s real stars (or sharks, as they like to be called), including Mark Cuban.
In somewhat dense 6-minute segment, we see Kimmel, appropriately of Kimmel Laboratories, spoof many of the more ridiculous items one can sometimes see on Shark Tank. The first idea Kimmel presented was designed with child safety in mind, namely an oversized traffic cone kids can put on their heads to keep them safe when crossing the street.
