@pinknews: Happy birthday, Jimmy Kimmel! In May 2026, Kimmel gave a speech honouring longtime friend and collaborator Adam Carolla during Carolla’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony, joking that the comedian and podcaster became his “life partner” after the pair first met in the 1990s. Recalling their introduction while Kimmel worked on the KROQ radio show ‘Kevin and Bean’, the late-night host explained that Carolla had been brought in to help train him for a boxing match. “We did very little training,” Kimmel joked. “We would box for about eight minutes and then drink Snapple and go to lunch.” He added, “I lost that fight, but I gained a life partner. And if that sounds gay to you, it was. And it is.” Carolla received his Hollywood Walk of Fame star in the radio category, with Kimmel, Dr. Drew Pinsky, and Adam Weissler all speaking during the ceremony. #jimmykimmel

Walk Gay with Me :

The amount of jokes, Jimmy Kimmel, and Adam Carolla made about gay people back in the 90s? These two don’t deserve any recognition from gay media, especially when they’re making us a joke again.

Jason :

yeah Adam carolla is whack. if you need any proof listen to the deep dive on AC that Knowledge Fight Country just did this week.

Rustifer666 :

so are they gay, or is he making a gay joke?

ogjfer :

Dear Pink News. WTF? You now a platform for man affection being called gay?

jake😌 :

PERIOD💜

Balanced Scales :

He’s joking in the most 90s way possible.

Kenji De Sade :

OH AND this is pink news??? Why are you covering this?? Because the word gay was mentioned?? That does not make this gay news in any way. This man is praising a biggot who has a long history of homophobic rhetoric. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
