Why Jimmy Kimmel ‘Can’t Get Enough’ Of Bill Belichick’s Relationship

You had to know the Jimmy Kimmel monologue experience wasn’t going to go well for Bill Belichick when the crowd broke out into laughter before the late-night host even really made a joke.

Belichick’s now-infamous CBS interview continues to be the subject of ridicule across just about every media platform. The awkward encounter, which aired on “CBS Sunday Morning,” has transcended sports, as evidenced by its prominent placement in Kimmel’s monologue Monday night.

(The Belichick talk begins at the 10:45 mark of the video.)

After touching on President Donald Trump’s appearance at the pope’s funeral over the weekend and his declining approval ratings, Kimmel shifted gears to take aim at Belichick, specifically his relationship with 24-year-old Jordon Hudson. It was Hudson’s involvement in the interview that really stole the headlines, and ensuing reporting hasn’t painted either in a great light.

After setting up the clip, it cuts to CBS’ footage of the interview, and when the camera gets its first shot of Belichick — in his inexplicably ripped-up Navy sweatshirt — Kimmel’s live studio audience can be heard laughing at him.

Then, Kimmel dug in.

“So I’m guessing not at church then?” Kimmel joked after hearing Hudson shut down any questions about where she and Belichick met.

“I gotta say,” Kimmel continued, “I love this relationship. I can’t get enough of those two. They need a reality show. It’s like the ‘Golden Bachelor’ meets the regular ‘Bachelorette.’

“They met at the daddy-daughter dance. No, no, they met on the swing set.”

It’s possible the Belichick-Hudson duo is playing chess when everyone else is playing checkers, as they try to promote Belichick’s new book. Quite frankly, the Kimmel reality show idea probably isn’t very far off. One has to imagine it’s at least been discussed.

However, if this sort of thing keeps happening, the Belichick camp is going to put the idea that “any publicity is good publicity” to the test.
