Jimmy Kimmel Tries to Weather Stormy Daniels and Get One Straight Answer Out of Her
January 31, 2018Jimmy Kimmel Tries to Weather Stormy Daniels and Get One Straight Answer Out of Her
The porn star's highly anticipated late-night debut was entertaining, but not very enlightening.
Stormy Daniels is very clever and savvy, which meant it was especially difficult for Jimmy Kimmel to get anything meaningful out of her on Wednesday night, and we're still not sure if he did.
The porn star may or may not have had an affair with Donald Trump and may or may not have signed a non-disclosure agreement forbidding her to talk about it. After Kimmel's in-depth interview — complete with carrots for her to choose from, representing the First Penis — we still don't know much. Or do we? Maybe she was just trolling him, and us.

The very first thing Kimmel did was discuss the official denial released just hours before the taping of "Jimmy Kimmel Live." He pointed out that the signature on this new statement doesn't match her signature on a previous document, nor does it match headshots she has signed over the years.
"Did you sign this letter that was released today?" he asked her.
"I don't know. Did I?" she responded coyly. "That does not look like my signature, does it?"
When asked if she knew where the statement came from, Stormy said, "I do not know where it came from." She then added, "It came from the Internet. I also work for the FBI and I'm a man, according to the Internet."
So, does this mean she's telling us not to believe the statement? Because obviously those other things are not true. Hmmm…

Kimmel tried some verbal gymnastics of his own to try and get an admission, telling Stormy, "If you didn't have a non-disclosure agreement, you most certainly could say, 'I don't have a non-disclosure agreement.' Yes?"
"You're so smart, Jimmy," was her only response. Reading between the lines would seem to indicate she must have one, then, because she didn't say she didn't … but perhaps she's just playing with Kimmel and the audience.
Finally, he decided that if Stormy Daniels couldn't talk to him, maybe Puppet Stormy Daniels could. So he brought out a doll for Stormy to use in a game of "Never Have I Ever." Her answers are perhaps telling, or perhaps not. We have a headache now from trying to figure it out.

"I actually don't know the answer to that," Daniels responded to the last one.
"Wait a minute, you wanted to be on 'Celebrity Apprentice' and you never even saw it?" Kimmel marveled in response.

This final statement Stormy had no problem agreeing to with laughter. But if that much is true, then perhaps the rest of the story is true, as well. Perhaps we're just getting lost between the lines here.
A Buzzfeed reporter, where the statement was originally sent, tweeted after "JKL" that Stormy's lawyer told him that was her signature on the new statement and that "she was just having fun on 'Kimmel' and being her normal playful self." Stormy's rep told TMZ the porn star signed both documents, as well.
So we're back to square one.
