As part of his opening monologue, Kimmel tried to explain that, “In Washington, they're holding a confirmation hearing for Joe Biden's Supreme Court nominee. Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee today. Unless something unexpected happens, the vote is expected to go along party lines. These hearings, they give a number of our Republican senators a chance to compete in one of their favorite events, the Subtle Racism Jamboree.”
