Kimmel Forced to Yank Andy Dick Away from Trump
Never has the word "Andy" been such a game-changer, eh?
At this past Friday's taping of Jimmy Kimmel Live, comedian Andy Dick had to be forcibly removed from the stage when he ignored repeated requests to cease touching/poking/caressing Guest No. 2, Ivanka Trump. (Video here.) Even despite the talker host's warning that, "Donald Trump will kill both of us," the possibly inebriated Dick persisted in pawing the titan's pretty offspring, requiring security guards to literally drag him off stage, down the hall, past hair-and-makeup, and back into obscurity.

Ew. That's all I can say.
Hopefully this will banish Andy Dick from D-list to F-list of celebrity-dom.

I love sweeps. So utterly coincidental how these wacky things happen during February/May/November, eh?

This was all in good, clean fun. Andy loves doing stuff like this, and you can see he was laughing all the way off stage, as was everyone else.
Anyone who makes a big deal of this doesn't watch Jimmy Kimmel much. If this sort of things makes news, JKL should be as "talked about" as The View is these days! This isn't too unusual an incident.
As much as Dave is a late-night god to me, JKL's monologues are always the funniest of all the talk shows! Even his introductions of guests are often very funny! I'm surprised this show doesn't get the respect that Dave and (certainly!) Jay and even Jon and Stephen get.

I have never gotten into Jimmy. He replaced my Bill Maher. I loathed ABC for doing that. I am a huge fan of Rosie. I read her blog every day. I guess Jimmy has been ugly to her. Rosie said that was his job as a comedian. All of these people who whine that Rosie can't take as good as she gives should read and watch what is said BY the person, and not some hack show like ET. I know this is totally off target. Sorry.

I appreciate your comments, ff55, no need to be sorry. I love Rosie, too, but I can't deny that Jimmy can be hysterical! Jimmy's live-in girlfriend was on The View last week, and Rosie was quite nice to her, so I think she's got pretty tough skin.
I completely relate to what you're saying about Bill Maher, too! I don't blame Jimmy for that, though. ABC behaved abominably with Bill. They put a show on called Politically Incorrect, and then cowardly take it off when it lives up to the title!  I still miss Bill!
I stopped watching all the ET Access Extra Garbage Shows years ago, when they truly went tabloid (yes, kiddies, there was a time when ET was a legitimate Entertainment News show)! I can't tell you how much my self-worth improved!  Those shows really can make you feel...dirty!
Sorry Jimmy's not your cuppa NyQuil, but I felt them same way when Letterman replaced Tom Snyder, and I didn't watch Dave for two years! Then, one night, I tuned in...and I have been a Letterhead (lol) ever since!

That was a total show! Anybody that has seen Andy Dick on any of the numerous Comedy Central Roasts that he has done knows that that is how he acts - you should have seem him and Lisa Lampanelli square off knows that this was all in good fun. I am curious how much Ivanko was told ahead of time!!

Yeah, this was totally planned ahead of time, and this type of stuff happens alot on that show. It's called being funny and original, and I'm positive that Ms. Trump knew ahead of time. Jimmy helped drag him away! lol. Pretty funny. And they had been talking earlier how Mr. Dick was stalking Keifer Sutherland, so cmon, totally part of the show!!!!

i have to say, reading that story made me immediately want to click the video and see the scandal...and i was hugely disappointed. that was NOTHING. i've seen people behave worse on trading spaces when they like a design. if it was planned (totally), it was LAME. if it was a surprise (yeah right), someone hella overreacted! very tame. very tame.

It's another Trump Publicity gimmick.

ROFL....that was funny Matt.
Unfortunately the video didn't live up to the headline. I was hoping to see Andy Dick attacking Donald Trump like a wild hyenna for some ignorant crass comment that he made.
