Women have contributed so much to the world. But we often wonder, how much does the average guy know about women’s history? So we went out onto Hollywood Boulevard where all the smartest people line up and we invited men, passing by our studio to take a women’s history mini-quiz.

She is the Vice President of California. a-Whhhaaaaaat?
Well, she was the senator of California first
Sir this is just a replay.
She is vice president of California, along with the rest of the usa. Is it any worse than calling king Charles king of England (a title that officially ended in 1707)?
He was trolling I believe lol
The last guy had those Jake Peralta vibes.🤣
More like Sam Rockwell
Totally agree 😂
Nailed it. Great call
When I first clicked on the video I actually thought that the last guy was Andy Samberg in a wig, lol 😆
Who works for 4 days. Kimmel does
To be fair, some of them didnt seem to know much of anything. I wouldnt expect a guy who thinks california has a vice president to know any women
people who don't like politics often doesn't know anything about the country or historical figures. as for people who often go through politics are far more likely to know all of these figures back to back
look at those women..it's not like they ought to be super famous..I mean what they do? most of them didn't invent the wheel - they were icons mostly BECAUSE they were women Amelia Earhart wasn't the first to circumvent the world by plane - she was an early pioneer and the first woman though Kamala Harris is the first woman VP but there have been plenty more impactful VPs even Jaquie Kennedy is less famous than her husband all things considered ..you CAN know them for what they achieved for women's rights but they were never top of their fields generally and when it comes to historical figures we tend to remember only the top 0.1% of their fields amongst which they mostly just ...weren't most would have recognised Cleopatra, Elizabeth I & II, Marie Curie...they truly changed the world not just women's rights
@johnkirk1772 literally no. A couple yes, but most no.
Idk why we have that when we have a governor…
How tf would you not recognise Malala and Mother Teresa?😭
Ma-who-la??
They're irrelevant....
Malala isn’t that important. I wouldn’t have known about her if I didn’t have a lesson about her in English class or saw her in a book cover
So disappointing
I have never even heard of Malala lol
This is both sad and hilarious😂😂😂😢
Why is it sad? You could ask anyone, man or woman, and they wouldn’t know most of these women
@@MM-jc7uvThat's exactly why it's sad!
The last guy's hair? Yes, very sad and hilarious.
@@MM-jc7uv If you don't know why it's sad I'm so sorry for you, we know people who have done nothing for society and are only famous with their bodies and we don't know scientists and politicians
@@MM-jc7uvAre you kidding me? Those are some of the most heroic, trailblazing, legendary women in the history of the U.S. No wonder incels keep saying ridiculous stuff like “What have women ever invented or contributed to society?!?? Men built this country!!” It’s because they don’t remember what they were taught about the badass women of history. Imagine how far the country could progress if every man spent 5 minutes per day in Women’s History Month, learning about a different woman.
They got all the Porn stars and the Kardashians names correct!?!? The decay of society!
To be fair, women were seen as less significant in the past. This isn't decay.
its 4 guys
The only women men value lol
american society, rip bozo
@@adamblack6867 It's rather sad and pathetic actually.
"Condoleezza Rice...YES. YESH. YESHH." Dude ain't getting a haircut till the damn Rogaine kicks in!
😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
💀💀😂😂
😂😂😂 dude let it go it’s gone 😢😢😢
The thing that’s hilarious about the last guy is that got 1 right and came close on 3 others. He got Rosa Park’s last name, Sally Ride’s first name, guessed someone from the Kennedy/Shiver family for Jackie O, and at least knew Kamala is VP. I’m kind of impressed! And I can’t tell if he’s balding or has white roots.
This is a rerun
The last guy's hair must be from some other planet
What's it's name?
Nah that's not where it's from, that's where it is!
A star is born.
He can not be for real.
It's not a different planet, if he had a scrunchy holding his ponytail together I'd feel like I'm back in school in the 90s/2000s. I hope that man stays awesomely unique.
Vice president of what now??? I'm Nigerian and I could name over 80% of the women.
Yeah, the people who carry the MAGA hat, don’t know anything except hate and intolerant.
"Vice president of what now??" I'm screaming 😂
Melissa Joan Hart 😂😂😂😂
I bet they told him "it's a 3 word name". Otherwise the guess makes no sense at all 😂😂
I can’t believe these guys don’t even know who the Vice President of their own country is 🤦♀️
Only in America...
Because she’s a disgrace to America and responsible for 1000s of people in prison for marijuana
Not like it matters Kamala is a joke.
Most people don't know who any veeps were. Not just the current one. When Obama was president, did you ever think of sleepy Joe?
Not like she does anything
The difference between knowing those who made history and knowing those who made porn…
And that's sad
Well it's top tier porn workers vs peripheral historical figures.
There is making a difference and making history. I refuse to care for those of the second.
Well now we know what they do on their spare time lol
Right 😂
*in not on
"George Washington Carver"😐
😅😅😅😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
That's so unhinged 😂😂😂
Lmfaooooo
That's a tuff looking woman
Kimmel ate you just being lazy reposting videos?
The last guy 😂 epic
So glad he got Amelia Earhart!! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥Very proud of him!! 😂
"We're going to ask about famous women" Guy: "George Washington Carver?"
the last guy is killing it 🤣
2:33 Condoleeza Rice? 😂😂😂
I died at 0:52 when he said India Maria my fellow Mexicans would understand 😂🤣
“lily gladstone” is crazy😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
This is not ignorance for womens achievements, this is an indictment of the school system.
And of people's desire to continue their educations past school, versus jerk it. I mean they knew certain pics very well, too well some might say.
Nah. Not being able to ID historic figures by sight doesn't mean they don't know anything about what they did. Also if their fame is they're "the first woman to..." then there's not really much reason to remember them. "The first person to..." is what will be remembered. Most of the non-porn/pop icon women pictured are notable because of what they did regardless of their gender but I don't expect anybody who doesn't study history to know Harriet Tubman by sight and even Sally Ride, while more modern, is only going to be known by sight by people who were alive at the time which rules out anybody younger than 50. They're also only going to show the people interviewed who are entertaining to the show's audience. Idiots are entertaining.
Right who let you out the kitchen? 😂 just kidding
They actually teach us about this, I remember learning and having to make reports to hang in the hallways. Maybe it’s kids who don’t pay attention, because many will also say that they don’t teach us how to do our own taxes and I remember being passed out forms and having to learn.
As another poster mentioned, this is taught in schools, and at an early age. This is an indictment of our culture, where ignorance, which is a choice, is accepted. One is born stupid, intelligent, or just average, but ignorance is a choice, meaning you decide whether to know facts or not. And the most responsible? The parents. Every parent needs to first encourage and then even demand excellence from their children, long before the children enter the school system. You stated your opinion, which is incorrect, so does this make you stupid, or just ill-informed? So, is YOUR ignorance an indictment of the school system? Rocks, glass houses, yada, yada.
Would've been more interesting if they asked women as well.
You know for a fact they would do just as poorly 😆
only women over 50 would know 😊
I'm over 50 and wouldn't know many of them. But, tbf, I'm English, too, and they seemed to be American women. Although I did know Rosa Parks and Amelia Airhardt. (I think I've not spelled her name right, sorry).
i see some fragile masculinity here😉
y'know you're right. they should've done that and now i'm mad that they didn't.
That last man hair cannot be real 😂😂😂😂
They do a lot more men than they show, it is a set up.
I like him.
Yooooo!!! I laughed so hard my neighbors got worried looool. Sad but funny! Thanks KIMMEL TEAM.
Ok but how do you not know Harriet Tubman, Kamala Harris? Seriously lmao
Got all the plastic ones right
0:21 the switch up 😂
One word “ Idiocracy” 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
I laugh then I cry!
💯
The hell is on that guys head?
It's called male pattern hair loss.
A longer version of the Trump do.
Stupidity.
@@ge2623 Nah. The kid's ok.
“Harriet Tubman” - Rosa Parks 😂😂😂
THAT was a brilliant bit. Nice job guys. 😂
Sally FIELDS...
Well, maybe the Flying Nun made it to space? 🤷🏻♀️
@@ninalehman9054 ha ha...very good!
To be fair, he was half right... ...I think he knew her name at one time, and was starting to recall it, but couldn't quite get there... ...because her name WAS Sally Ride... maybe in another 60 seconds, he would've got her last name correct too 🤔
@@Bunkerdwarfputin the guy was hilarious..
The Vice President of California 🤣🤣
Last dude is a vibe 🤣
☑️ ☑️ ☑️ ☑️
The guys knew all the porn stars lol
They didn’t know any women from more than a decade ago. 🤦🏻♀️
No one does they’re mostly unimportant and not talked about, plus they’re dead.
Of course, none of these pictures should be confused between E Jean Carroll and Marla Maples (cough cough Donald)
He knows who the Kardashians is, and don´t know the legends, what a shame.
i easily knew every woman that none of them knew, and knew none of the women they easily knew. you can guess who i am.
A woman over 50?
Condoleezza Rice?
@@roberto1697😂😂😂
A woman
A Redditor who reminds everyone of their IQ multiple times a day?
Not George Washington Carver 🤣🤣🤣
Fwiw, my great-great-grandfather was his lawyer. (And a segregationist politician who was threatened by even worse racists for representing him. The birth of MAGA.) And, yeah, I'm old.
Vice President of California? Wow
It's funny at first then you wonder- are these tbe kind of people who vote? I hope not
It still is the USA lol
@@poorthingEvery vote counts 😊
@@foodie4138 that's true, he should vote, it should be required that every citizen register & vote. I think I understand how Italy elected a former 'adult' actress into office a few years back- from the 'Love Party'.
Please someone tell me these are paid actors in a skit 😭😭😭
Condaleeza Rice 😂😂😂 he was so close on most of them ha!!!!
Susan Parks lol 😆
Rosa. 😂😂
That’s My Boy From the Block at the End Lol Doin Big Thang Homie 169 and the V !?
NOT GEORGE WASHINGTON CARVER 😂😂😂
I think the second choices are more hilarious subtle trolling due to the fact of assuming they'd know them🤣
Longhair dude has his heart in the right place ❤
The ghost of Zappa…dayum.
Shocking that the crazy hair guy knew all the porn stars.
You make me giggle, Jimmy!😂❤👍
Ok that was fun ;) Not glorious obviously, but fun.
Tells more about how much people know about history than about how much men know about women
Well...They tried! LOL...... 🤣🤣😂
"TOOKIN HISTORY" - sigh!
But not grammar.
“George Washington Carver” aye man, FU 😂 😆
This was hilarious 😂
The last guy was hilarious.
The last one is like a Mad TV character 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm sure if these people had been shown men of similar roles (male activists, writers, athletes from the 70s, astronauts etc) they would not have known them anyway.
No wonder our country has gone to hell. Absolute stupidity.
They swiped the history away smooth
If fairness to that first dude, Rosa Parks does look a bit like Kathrine Johnson from Hidden Figures.
😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣 😂 OMG I'VE LAUGHED SO HARD. all the men know all the points stars 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣 😂. EPIC😅😅😅😅
The second guy was SO HIGH 😂
last dude was just THIIISSSS cose to all these wonderful women names!!!!
Hilarious 😂
Ask any women 18-25, they don't know either sooo
that guys hair at 3;00!!! Only in LA! He was at least in the ballpark....
Long hair Dude looks like Andy Samberg
India María is crazy 😂
You know what, imma let the last guy slide. He was endearingly earnest
I don't think any other guy is gonna get much further 🤣
They have to be joking come man what 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
andy samberg is so funny at the end
So we blame people for knowing what the media exposed them to instead of blaming the media...
The last guy got everything like half right. I like his energy.
last ones effortlessly cool
India Maria 😂😂😂
Jimmy Kimell, Dude, I got this notification, & immediately clicked. I hoped it was your actual LIVE show. But, it's not, sadly. I guess you're off this week? Anyway, Hurry up, & We miss you!! We need your hilarious jokes, We need some comedy relief!! 💜💜
I was also looking 🫤
@@casscart1, Hopefully He comes back soon. 💜💜
Women's history month!! Now I've heard it all!
They just about had every female historical figure 😂
First guy seemed to have a moment of humility. So, this wasn't only funny, but some good came from it.
To be fair, most women would fail the test too.
At least they knew the important ones.
That last guy may be the only person on the planet with that particular hairstyle
That last dude is just an Andy Samberg character.
This was freaking hilarious and sad hahaha
Was that Jake Peralta 😂
Dang one guy said George Washington for Harriet Tubman. Another said Abdullah for Malala - those are male names!
I’m ashamed 😂
I’m shure someone knew all of the “historical” women and didn’t recognize one of the “non historical”. It just didn’t get to the final cut because it isn’t good television.
thank you mr. kimmel
I thought i was smart but then realize ..... why i know so little about womens history ... whats wrong with me ? Time to learn centuries of women history 😊
Fist pumps for those dudes , they sure know their art films
Kathy Williams the vice president of California 💀
I knew at least half of these women. So I’m pretty disturbed that our education system failed THIS MANY people!!!
STEP PAPA FRANK???
As a woman I am "proud" to announce that the only women (outside of the entertainment industry) I recognized were Rosa Parks, Malala Yousafzai, Kamala Harris and Mother Teresa
Really? No BJK?!
@@1998rg Unfortunately no. It's not just in American school that womens' achievements are being ignored. There was a lot that I (as a non-American) didn't know about the US, until AFTER I left school. The good thing is that it's never too late to learn new things
@@Benovip You don't know anything about American education.
that last dudes hair makes me want a drink
