Jimmy Kimmel Says TikTok Ban Would Be ‘iPhone Footloose’ With ‘No Kevin Bacon to Save Us’ | Video

Jimmy Kimmel had a stark warning about “a disaster looming” in his monologue on Wednesday — the potential TikTok ban.

Kimmel noted that it would have a particularly big impact on kids, joking that it would be “like an iPhone ‘Footloose’, and there’s no Kevin Bacon to save us.” Watch the clip above. 

“There is a disaster looming, a potentially earth-shattering event,” Kimmel began. “Could have a devastating impact on tens of millions of Americans – especially young Americans.  And I’m not talking about climate change, or AI, or, diarrhea on planes. I’m talking about The House of Representatives today, with an overwhelming majority passed a bill to ban TikTok in the United States.
