Jimmy Kimmel - Street-Walkin'

One of the things I have always enjoyed about Jay Leno's version of the "Tonight Show" is the "Jay Walking" segments, where he goes out on the streets and asks seemingly innocent questions, that all too frequently serve to point up the incredible ignorance of the 'man or woman on the street' in the US.

After viewing this particular segment, I don't think there is any question that this fine tradition will be in good hands once Jimmy Kimmel takes over the Tonight Show reins (nor sadly, is there any end to the depths of the average American's ignorance about their country or current affairs).
