For all his fears about retribution from the US President, it’s a Canadian TV host who now threatens to remove Jimmy Kimmel from power.
A petition to remove Kimmel as the honorary mayor of a town in Canada is gaining steam online.
It was back in 2019 that Kimmel was named to the esteemed position in the town of Dildo, Newfoundland. The late-night host had spent a week on Jimmy Kimmel Live! campaigning to lead the town—simply because he’d heard the name and gotten a kick out of it. Dildo’s local service district committee ultimately agreed to bestow the title upon Kimmel should he commit to making an in-person visit to the town.
The Change.org petition aims to install comedian and actor Gerry Dee, who hosts Family Feud Canada, to the ceremonial position. First reported by the CBC, the attempted coup blasts Kimmel for his absence from Dildo and his lack of Canadian roots.
“It’s time to take action! Our beloved town of Dildo, Newfoundland, has been abandoned by our so-called ‘honorary mayor,’” the petition reads. “Sure, Jimmy had his fun, made a few jokes, and even got some mileage out of our name, but let’s face it-he’s ghosted us harder than an American ignoring the metric system.”
It goes on to argue that Dee “truly embodies the spirit of Dildo” with his “humor… charm, and most importantly, the Canadian-ness that Dildo deserves.”

Kimmel has yet to respond to Dee’s petition, but there is precedent that he won’t take the power-grab lightly. Last year, a Dildo local named Todd Cole ran against Kimmel for the title, spurring Kimmel to defend his position on JKL.
“I assumed I would be mayor for life,” Kimmel explained at the time. “I take my Dildo duties seriously. If this punk wants to come at me, he should know I am well-funded, I am vindictive as all get out, I will do whatever I have to to destroy him, and I’m watching his every move.”
Kimmel then played an attack ad against Cole. “Todd owns and operates a sign rental company that uses illegal dog labor to do spell-check,” Kimmel alleged.
The petition has currently garnered 143 signatures since being promoted on yesterday’s episode of Family Feud Canada.

I think that we should actually make Kimmel & his family…including Cousin Sal & Aunt Chippy honorary Canadians…just in case they have to make a run for it…that way they can bypass refugee status…
Incorrect information on Todd Cole, he is not a local person from Dildo, NFLD but is from Belleville, Ontario
