Video: Jimmy Kimmel Celebrates The Year In Unnecessary Censorship

One of the regular segments on Jimmy Kimmel Live is “This Week in Unnecessary Censorship,” in which JKL pays tribute to the FCC by adding censorship to clips from interviews, news programs and TV shows. The result is making innocent words and phrases seem dirty. The segment relies on our ability to fill in the beeps with something very wrong, so I suppose a dirty mind and vocabulary is necessary for the gag to work.

Last night, rather than focusing on one weeks worth of clips, Kimmel introduced “The Year in Unnecessary Censorship,” which looks back at the whole year of unintentional filth. This includes segments featuring Oprah, Leonardo DiCaprio, America’s Got Talent contestants, and Dora the Explorer. Check it out ahead!



Jimmy Kimmel Live airs weeknights at 12/11c on ABC.
