Jimmy Kimmel had no faith in Charles Barkley
The NBA giant Barkley has always been one of the most talented entertainers. Whether it’s his brutal opinion and hilarious mimicry of other celebrities, fans, and viewers always find Barkley’s presence on the show amusing. Even TV show host Jimmy Kimmel agreed that Sir Charles is one of the most entertaining guests. Then why did he have no faith in the legend?? In his congratulatory message, he said, “Many said it wouldn’t make it to 10 actually I’m the one that said that, um after being on it, but it did… you’re at a 100 congratulations here’s to 10,000 more!”
To which his co-host Ernie hilariously replies, “You know I don’t want to do 10,000 more.”
While the 11x NBA All-Star is extremely good at his job, Kimmel’s comment was certainly intended to infuse some humor into the show. Despite admitting that the 56-year-old is his preferred guest, the Philadelphia 76ers legend once recalled consistently declining one particular invitation from him. Why do you think he rejected the invitation?

As he recalled, Barkley doesn’t like Idaho because there’s nothing to see except potatoes. He emphasized he wouldn’t visit Idaho, even if invited by friends or favorite people. However, it will be interesting to watch if Kimmel and Barkley get together again.
