As if Jimmy Kimmel hasn’t ruined enough things for American children. The ABC late-night host has a new YouTube Challenge for parents, and Kimmel has his sites set on super-popular video game, “Fortnite.”
“‘Fortnite’ is the reason kids — especially boys — no longer need feet,” Kimmel said during his Monday monologue. “They don’t leave their homes anymore.”
“Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to surprise your kid — or friend, or roommate — by turning off the television while they’re playing ‘Fortnite,’” Kimmel explained. “Sneak up on them right when they seem to be at the most dramatic moment. At that moment, turn the television off, record the whole thing, and post it to YouTube with the title, ‘Hey Jimmy Kimmel – I Turned Off the TV During ‘Fortnite.’”
“Together, we are going to give these kids a ‘Fortnite’-mare they will never forget,” the “Jimmy Kimmel Live” host promised.
