I feel pretty certain it's a work, after all why would they have to be "live" from an empty stage? If he really went meaningfully off-script they could have cut it. Still cringe af.
Oh, I definitely think it was scripted and rehearsed. Kimmel has lost his soul. He looks totally demoralized and depressed all the time. Why would he allow himself to be used by this racist?
100% scripted. They think this is "funny" in the sense that it elicits "clapter" not laughter. You laugh and clap along b/c you agree with the underlying sentiment not because it actually made you laugh.
It's the formula for all late-night and award shows these days. It has infected stages across America too. I can tell you here in Chicago, The Second City Theater, iO, and the Annoyance are all infected with this type of "comedy".
