Kimmel Says Losing Twitter Blue Check Is Like Losing His Virginity: ‘I’ll Just Be Happy I Didn’t Have to Pay For It’ (Video)
Verified Twitter users have until this weekend to fork over eight bucks to the richest man in the world if they want to keep their blue checkmark. Jimmy Kimmel told his audience during his monologue on Tuesday night he’s not sweating it and compared losing his verification status to losing his virginity – he’s happy he didn’t have to pay for it.
“And oh, speaking of chatbots Elon Musk just announced that starting April 15th that if you want to keep your blue check mark you have to pay Twitter $8 a month,” Kimmel said. “Which will enroll you in an exclusive club of people dumb enough to pay Twitter, eight dollars a month.”
Kimmel added, “Those who got their check marks for free – will start losing them starting April 1. That includes me, I guess. I’ve had a check mark for many years. I’m not sure how I feel about this.
