Kimmel: Pope’s Last Wish Was Not Meeting ‘Vice President Maybelline’

KIMMEL: “As I’m sure you know, Pope Francis passed away this morning. No clap for that. You’ll go right to hell.
(Laughter)
The pope, who was very well loved, who seemed to be a kind and humble man, had been in poor health, but he sucked it up, he rallied, he delivered a message at Easter mass, and then he passed away this morning. Is there anything more Catholic than waiting until Monday to die so you don’t upstage Jesus Christ?
(Laughter)
I don’t think there is. It’s the pope version of a mic drop. Really. Hours before his passing, Pope Francis met briefly at the Vatican with, of all people, Vice President J.D. Vance.”

Vance: “So good to see you. (...) I know you’ve not been feeling great, but it’s good to see you in better health.”
Pope Francis: “Thank you very much for your visit.”
Vance: “Of course, of course. And thank you for seeing me.”

KIMMEL: “Oh, man, what a way to go. ‘Holy Father, do you have any last wishes?’ ‘Well, not this. Not this. Not a meet-and-greet with Vice President Maybelline!’ No, thank you. Shortly after his visit, Vance tweeted, ‘Today I met with the holy father Pope Francis. I am grateful for his invitation to meet, and I pray for his good health. Happy Easter!’ So now we know J.D. Vance is bad at praying, too.”
