Jimmy Kimmel bid an official farewell to the COVID National Emergency on Tuesday night, and admitted it was bittersweet, because the pandemic taught him a lot. For example, it taught the late night host that the people who are “most resistant” to government mandates are the people who actually need it the most.To kick off the monologue on his namesake ABC show, Kimmel noted that it was “the dawn of a new era” now that President Biden has officially declared the COVID national emergency to be over.
