Jimmy Kimmel’s serious Oscar comment about putting aside differences and talking to one another as Americans

On an Oscar night dominated by politics, host Jimmy Kimmel did offer one serious comment about bridging the divide among Americans.



“I’m not the man to unite this country, but it can be done,” Kimmel said.

“You know, if every person watching this show — I don’t want to get too serious, but there are millions and millions of people watching right now, and if every one of you took a minute to reach out to one person you disagree with, someone you like, and have a positive, considerate conversation, not as liberals or conservatives, but as Americans, if we would all do that, we would make America great again. We really could. It starts with us.”
