What a beautiful tribute, Mr. Kimmel! Rest easy, Norman Lear!
I love the card Norman sent back.
Jimmy was tearing up at the end. He's a truly appreciative man of those that paved the way for him. I didn't have the pleasure of knowing Mr F'ing Lear but I'll be looking at his works. Signed, A 16 year old White American.
Well said…
@@sirdiealot53 All in the Family and Good Times. Start there. I think those were his two most influential works. As a 57 year-old white American, a kid when those shows were on, I was shocked, entertained, and I laughed at the reality those shows presented - in their own silly way. Lear was a fearless writer who upset people on the left and the right, but he gave us a lot to think about, and he thrived when he wrote about the imperfections in all of us. Like, being a bigot is an awful thing, but even bigots are human, and they deserve love. Somehow he navigated that. It made sense when he told those stories. We are all flawed humans with a lot to learn, and we all deserve a chance, and love.
bro Kimmel is so disappointing. I guarantee at some point in his life he was a cool guy you'd like to be friends with. Or maybe not honestly it's hard to say, because making weird comments and videos like this make it clear he has a hatred for trump. I'm not a trump supporter hating on him. I am an individual who uses my own brain to think and whenever I see ANY person push so hard for one side, it has become more and more clear, it is either become they are paid off, or very ignorant. In his position, he is more than likely paid off.
RIP Norman, I grew up with all those shows, great memories.❤
People that didn't have the opportunity to enjoy new episodes on a weekly basis missed out on the entertainment our generation X had the pleasure of. All In The Family in my opinion is the number one sitcom ever written. And the fact it was recorded live is impressive.
R.I.P. Norman you will be missed.
Lovely tribute to a great talent. RIP Norman Lear. To be continued . . .
What a beautiful tribute. Rest in Peace Norman Lear. 📺😢🙏
We remember him by remembering our humanity. Don't leave home without it.
Ikr!! He made me tear up.
It was beautiful. 🕊️🙏🏽
Rest in Peace Norman Lear. You gave us a glimpse of the better side of American Culture.
RIP Norman Lear! Incredibly talented man... his resume is the proof. He will be forever remembered through his creations.
Loved the Lindell Christmas Special. Wishing everyone Peace during the holidays. Stay safe and sane.
What a lovely tribute to Norman Lear.
RIP Mr. Lear and thank you to Mr. Kimmel for recognizing him. You are doing a fantastic job on your show and in general, calling out truth to power, you are continuing Mr. Lear's work. We appreciate you!
So well said!
So many of Lear's shows would make Fox News scream about woke culture if they aired today. I'm glad they premiered long before Fox News was an idea in Murdoch's head.
@@gamepapa1211Yup! The irony being Fox “News” and the MAGA cult can’t even tell you what “woke” means 😂

Thank you for your excellent opening tribute to The Brilliant & Beloved of Norman Lear. ❤❤❤
Jimmy I thought about you the second that I heard the news of Norman Lear moving on! Thank you Jimmy for all the work you did with Norman, bringing the Live episodes of his legendary Shows. May he rest in Peace and Love forever. 101 isn't a bad run thou! 🕊💞🕯🙏🏻
“From day one” The sad thing is the audience was laughing when Trump said that but he wasn’t joking. Trumps illness doesn’t allow him have a sense of humor. Humor means to them is a disgusting, cruel, vile and hate filled comment told about someone with a smile.
You mean like this? "Federal convicts came up to me, big men, strong men, tears in their eyes, they came up to me and said Sir, DOJ has a 99.6% conviction rate."
Such a lovely tribute to Mr. Norman Lear.
Jimmy Kimmel im proud of you tonight because you honored a Truly one of a kind NORMAN LEAR WAS MAKING AMERICA GREAT FOR US TODAY! Thanks Jimmy Kimmel for that Beginning of the show!
Glad u did this tribute to Norman Lear! I just realized I grew up loving shows he created! Who knows maybe that is why I feel I am more accepting of another person's view and being different. Thanks Norman, rest in peace!
Love the disclaimer from 'All in the Family" after the lovely tribute. Very classy and RIP Norman.
Ok thank you, that show predated me so I didn't know where that disclaimer came from.
" no more -tator, just Dic" Those writers really earning their raise 😅
Yes, they should
That was wonderful, Jimmy, thanks for sharing! .... RIP Norman, you were a mainstay of laughter in our lives and your legacy will live on in our memories and reruns forever. Thank you!!
Thanks, Jimmy, for the tribute to Norman Lear, along with the amazing remembrance of the holiday card.
You are correct. He was a somebody that helped create the fabric of my youth. Gifted to the end. Journey well sir. Journey well.
RIP Norman. What a legacy. Wow. Thanks for everything.
Rest in Peace, Mr. Norman Lear. Thank you, for the amazing memories. To be continued...over and next 🙏❤️
That was an amazing tribute to Mr. Lear. He was one of the most creative and talented persons around. Thank you for doing that.
Norman Lear ❤ rest in peace. You were fighting for equality and changed the word for the better.
Agree and thanks for the memorable TV shows we grew up watching may he RIP🙏🙏
RIP Norman amazing legacy
I grew up watching Norman Lear's shows on TV. My family would sit down and watch All in the Family, and Sanford and Son and laugh through every episode. RIP, and thanks for the laughter you gave us.
Awesome sharing Mr Kimmel. I grew up with Norman F. Lear in my living room. I think his writing & productions helped me survive the gloom of the teen ages by causing me to laugh even when I was a gloomy gus that hated living. Rest in Peace Norman. Cant help but see you & Carroll sitting in the All the Family chairs with stogies discussing this * up world.
Thank you for speaking for Norman Lear. Thank you for learning well from him and for your service to making the atrocious funny.
Well said!
By the he thank-you note at 100 years you can tell all he was a fuckin genius!
Best sitcoms in history. All In The Family won a ton of Emmy awards.
F#@% yeah!
He did an amazing job of teaching morality and how to spread kindness and be respectful to each other and just be a good person. Archie flushed the first toilet to ever be heard on a sitcom. 😅 What a great teacher and loving man who taught us to love each other through both laughter and tears.
Beautiful tribute for a beautiful man. Thank you, Jimmy Kimmel. 🩷
That was the best skit, the lap sitting dialogue. Balanced. On point message. Lear would be proud.
That Lindelll bit had me howling. Good Job Jonny Kramer!
Grew up with all those programs. Thankful for the memories.
Very classy pre audience announcement, Jimmy! Thanks!
Thank you for your tribute to Norman Lear Jimmy! I grew up watching all those shows. He was a brilliant guy! Rest In Fuckin' Laughter Mr. Lear ❤
Wow. That tribute was just beautiful. From doing it without the audience, to the review of his career, and through the poignant way Jimmy presented this, clearly emotional, you’ve simply nailed the respect and reverence you intended to convey. Thanks, Jimmy. And a very big thanks to Norman.
Jimmy….you are genuinely human. Thank you for being so…..you give credit where it is due and it is refreshing. Please keep up the good work.
Even after his passing, Norman Lear knows how to make people laugh. Thank you, sir, and rest in peace.
My all time favorite sitcom is All In The Family the show is classic.
Amen 🙏
I swear, all the greats are dying this century! It sucks!
@@sadiestoltzfus9798 I think MASH is mine, but All in the Family is right up there. I should like it more because I was 8 and a half when the show began, and my mom made me go to bed at 7:30. But after seeing a couple of episodes, she thought that show was so good, with such a good message, she let me stay up and watch.
Norman had way too much to live for.
Jimmy just made me cry with his tribute to Norman. Definitely a special genius that essentially touched the life of millions without most even noticing. May he rest in peace and absolute thanks for his influence creating beautiful television. I loved a lot of the programs mentioned.
Me too
Thank you Norman!!! For making me laugh through out the years! ❤
Lock trump up!!!
Mmm, let's see, who else locked up their political opponents? Oh yes, that's right, Apartheid SA locked Mandela, Mbeki, Zuma, Thambo and all the rest up on Robin Island. Then there was Stalinist Russia that sent everyone to Siberia. Dietrich Bonhoeffer was locked up by the Nazis. Polpots just sent everyone to labour camps. So have the Kim dynasty for nearly 50 years. And he is the dictator... cool story.
Yer gey
Convict him first!
OMG YES!!!
@@mariannerivera2720 it must suck to know the Bidens will go to jail before trump!
So many of his shows gave life lessons on prejudices, racism, being a good neighbor, women's rights, and so much more. The humor helped us to see that many of those who spout hate, often do so in ignorance, from every race, color, and creed. He had and will continue to have an impact through his shows and characters. He lived to 101, that says a great deal about who he was and how he lived. A pioneer who is now a legend. Rest in peace until the rapture.🕊️
If only I could have said it as perfectly as you did. Isn't it strange to have to explain him ❤❤ Except rapture. He didn't believe in that At All
Yes it's people that we never hear of until it's too late that make the biggest difference in our lives and once they're gone we don't have the opportunity to thank them. Norman Lear was one such person. He made a difference in my life and the little sketches still play through my mind 50 years after I've seen them he put a bug in our ears that lasted our lifetimes
He has beautiful eyes
I learned about Norman's passing yesterday evening and immediatelly looked forward to Jimmy's reaction knowing their beautiful relationship. Thank you Jimmy. RIP Norman and thank you for the laughter and the memories.
What a beautiful and perfect tribute to Mr. Lear. And OMG! The Lindell Christmas special was gold!
RIP 😔 Norman Lear a great human being and genius 🙏💙🕊️
As Dictator on Day 1, Trump will declare that single day will last for 100 years.
Makes sense. That's why Trump kept saying his "beautiful healthcare plan" is coming in two weeks since 2017.
@@gamepapa1211 Glad we didn't hold our breaths
His whole life has been one long day. 😂😂😂
You mean a thousand years.
He's planning the 4th Reich... take a number, the world seems to be taken over by narcissistic grifting criminal dictators!
The last video segment was such a great involved production and SO FUNNY!! Thank you Team of Jimmy Kimmel!!!
Mr. Lear. What a sweet, gifted man. I grew up watching the shows he created and will always have a deep respect for him. He lived a good long life. He will live forever in my heart. RIP, a friend to all.
Thank you for a sincere and beautiful remembrance.
The only "right thing" that Kevin McCarthy has done is quit Congress.
It speaks volumes about McCarthy's character when the biggest cheer he got was the day he quits.
With so much that's been reported and said by GOP MAGA saying one thing but doing the opposite, I admit feeling suspicious waiting for the proverbial shoe to drop. I'll believe McCarthy is leaving when he does. But there's this nagging thought McCarthy and the orange orangutan may be joining forces for the top two positions in the WH. I won't be surprised. Nothing the GOP surprises me anymore.
IKR good riddance
Agreed 👍💯
@rottweilerfun9520 The Dummy Looked Smarter Than Kevin...
Jimmy! Thank you for the beautiful tribute of Norman Lear. He truly blazed a path into a world where others feared to tread! Jimmy, continue the great work keeping all of us informed with the truth! PEACE OUT ✌!
That was such a touching tribute to a great man that made our Televisions come alive every night during my childhood. Thank you for that Jimmy
A beautiful tribute, to a beautiful man, from a beautiful man! R.I.P. N.Lear. How can you not love Jimmy Kimmel, what a class act always! ❤
That was a lovely tribute to Norman Lear. Thank you so much for sharing that.
Great show ! Lovely triibute to Norman Lear💜
That was a great tribute to Norman Lear. I grew up watching all those shows. He was ahead of the times and treated serious issues with a sense of humor. Wish all people would do that now. It's up to the 2 Jimmy's and Stephen now.
Norman Lear brought the best in the sitcom world that made comedy tv special and memorable. Make them laugh Norm!
The tribute was perfect. It reminded me of better times. Back when we could laugh and not take everything so seriously. Then reality hit. We are close to possibly having a dictator in charge.
That was a wonderful tribute, both in his own words and the text scroll. Thank you, Mr. Lear.
Norman Lear a great man of entertainment! A man of the highest standards! RIP SIR NORMAN LEAR YOUR AMERICAN ROYALTY!
Very sorry to hear of Mr. Norman Lear's passing. The shows you mentioned were always entertaining and brought up social issues in a family friendly way. Mom approved. What a legacy he has left.
All in the Family wasn't exactly family friendly. It was direct and savage. It was controversial for its time. Best show ever.
I was inappropriately young watching AITF and The Jeffersons. Their open mockery of racism and misogyny made me a better person. A great tribute from Jimmy!
@@ferox965I suppose the same could be said for Sanford and Son.
Just like Trump, McCarthy will not give up by giving up.
Never stop never stopping
Thank you Jimmy for the wonderful tribute to Norman Lear. Somehow Kevin McCathy's announcement caught the attention of the traditional media instead of the loss of this incredible giant.
What a beautiful tribute to Norman Lear! I grew up watching many of his shows on UHF, the world is a better place for him being in it and will be terribly missed. Rest in peace Norman!
"UHF"!! That knob on the right. Harder to turn. Lots of tiny clicks. Sometimes our favorite channel would come in fuzzy to the right or left of the 'click'. The knob was so full of tiny numbers that it definitely wasn't precise. Remember that the knob on the left had to be on the "U"!!! And wiggle the rabbit ears every time we changed the channel. I bet cumulatively: our generation spent a month of our lives trying to adjust the knobs and antenna.
R.I.P. Norman Lear, I grew up watching most of your shows. You will be missed 💔 😢
Joe Biden 2024! Democracy!
NAH
@@zapperrr100 You mean "NEIN!"

🇺🇸1865 Civil War racists fail… 1945 fascist fail… 2016 orange is the new stupid. 2020 Orange fails 2024 orange in jail. A great cheer of joy and good tidings with this magnificent news that all democracy loving people around the world will embrace. Buh-bye to “the art of the steal.“🇺🇸
no to Donnie Diddler and no to Genocide Joe
Thank you for the beautiful tribute to Norman Lear!
All in the Family may be the greatest comedy in American history. Brilliantly written, acted, and produced. A time capsule of its time but also relevant for all time. RIP Mr. Lear. Great words honoring Mr. Lear.
Agreed. All in the Family is a timeless classic. 👏👍.
Norman Lear fueled all our appetites for funny and reason! ❤. This hurts.
Like N Korea the only reason Trump wants a closed and secure border is to keep us in. The American iron curtain.
The USA 🇺🇸 iron curtain.
I want to thank you for saying that and giving me a new perspective! I never thought of his extreme border policies like that. I just thought of him trying to keep people out not keep us in, which is scarier! Thanks again😊
Nope. Canada 🍁has welcomed political refugees from USA for hundreds of years. British Loyalists, slaves, gays, commies, draft dodgers...
Jimmy it took some years for me to come around to you. I’d argue though that it took a few years for you to deserve our attention. But Jimmy, you’ve really come into your own and have shown what is in you. You are a good human being. ❤
Wait until he is retired and tells everyone he was only acting like this for the money. Every single person Jimmy is friends with, and I mean his real friends, is for trump.
Norman Lear will definitely be missed.
Thanks for sharing your friend and mentor’s story, it was beautiful. And thanks for what you do Jimmy. It’s easy to forget the importance of the court jester. In reality, it was quite the responsibility. Keep up the good work.
So many great shows Norman.💙
Thank you Norman Lear for making us laugh. Rest in peace🙏🏽👏🏽❤️
A beautiful tribute to Norman. I was wondering if anyone would mention his passing. Thank you. I'm old enough to have seen All in the Family during the original airings. Loved all his shows.
I grew up watching Norman's shows! He changed the faces of television! 💋💖😄😄
Thank you Jimmy for your tribute ❤ Through the years I have enjoyed all the shows he helped create.
The trbute to Norman Lear was touching. To be continued, Norman.
A beautiful tribute! Thank you, Jimmy! ❤
Jimmy I can feel the hurt in your tribute......DEEPLY. Your aura reeks of the pain of losing a loved one. However, this moment of adoration for Norman Lear was pure gold. Thank you for saying what we all feel. Thank you. ❤️
Reeks?
Hey its a time of joy the man had a wonderful life lets celebrate it!
Norman Lear is the Goat of TV and Comedy! I am old (74) enough to have been privileged to have watched many of Lear's great shows! His genius was amazing. Thank you for the laughs and the and the smarts. RIP
Great job, Jimmy. Peace and Respect to Norman. I grew up with everyone of the characters that he created and they will always be with me. I learned something from all of those characters throughout my life. Those characters taught me, what to be, and what not to be. RIP Norman F. Lear
That was such a lovely tribute. I have tears in my eyes because his sense of humor matches my late mom’s. She would’ve found that sweatshirt hilarious. 101 years was definitely not long enough. Rest in peace, sweet Norman.
I grew up watching every Norman lears t.v programs, even the 1st time all in the family aired.
Norman Lear was a national treasure.
I worked with Norman on the 100th episode gathering of a couple winning a weekend in Los angles,I was part of the P.R. That took care of the people,we went to Disneyland followed by a great filming reguarding the 100 episodes,It was something I will never forget ❤️
Norman Lear had the BEST programing ever. I am 80 years old and grew up on the genius of his programs. Rest In Peace Sir
I’m sorry you lost your friend. You’re a little speech was very touching. I was very moved and I’ll look into this man and watch some of his stuff. Thank you and I’m sorry for your loss.
I seriously don’t get all the hype over Taylor Swift. 🤷🏾♀️
These Mike Lindell sketches are the best 😂
Sorry for your loss Jimmy. And what a national treasure he was. It's hard to see the great ones leave us. Love and prayers to his dear family.
Jumping Christ in a Green Hat; a real stunner from Mr. Kimmel and his uber-talented writing team. And your heartfelt, gracious nod to the late Norman Lear was beyond reproach. You're a right bloody little treasure with your wonderful late night show. I salute you, Mr. Kimmel!!!
I can't tell if you're being serious or sarcastic. Is that what you meant to do?
Norman Lear shows were my entire childhood. The world won't laugh the same again.
Such a sweet tribute to Norman Lear. He was an amazing man who gave the world so much.
Another great Lindell skit! Kickass JimmyK
My HEART'S Condolences to this CREATIVE Man's family. ❤
One sentence uttered by Taylor Swift and Trump LOSES!! Please, please, please Taylor... tell everyone to vote 💙💙💙💙💙🙏
That comment is as profoundly sad as it is true. If young Elvis was alive ... he would be the important political voice for Trump.
@@donofon1014 You're kidding right? Elvis was a rebel. He is 100% opposite what the GOP is. As a matter of fact, the GOP equivalent back then tried to shut him down.
@@runnergo1398 He was friends with Nixon, dude
She needs to tell her swifties to vote Democrats and never for donnie chump
I remember him trying to charm Richard Nixon into a getting a federal marshall's badge. See the movie. Col Tom killed the rebel and put him in a non stop parade of god awful movies. Girls Girls Girls, He became an establishment figure head... or have you not seen him give the Vegas treatment of The Battle Hymn of The Republic. Through Vietnam and the civil rights struggle ???? AWOL because he was a right wing Republican.. or his audience was. Symbiotic. Sorry being a sex symbol when you splash on the scene is marketing ..not rebellion. He was daring in high school.. eye make up and too fashionable clothes for Tennessee.@@runnergo1398
for those too young to remember, the opening "disclaimer" was an almost verbatim homage to the disclaimer CBS ran before All in The Family's first episode, a great homage to the legendary Norman Lear. Well done, Jimmy...
Beautiful tribute to Mr. Lear. He was important even if you were just a kid watching all his shows after school. Im grateful, i didnt realize how he helped me become an open minded human ❤
