ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel welcomed actor Ethan Hawke to his Wednesday show to promote his new TV show, The Lowdown. However, before that, Hawke compared Kimmel’s recent suspension to being sent to a Russian gulag. Kimmel agreed with the sentiment, claiming it is “hard to tell the difference” between the gulag and the United States.
After some joking about how Kimmel is taking the show to Brooklyn next week and the Brooklyn-based Hawke flew out to Los Angeles for this interview, Hawke recalled he was supposed to do it earlier, “Then there was, like, some weird delay. I didn't get to go on when I was supposed to go on… I don’t watch the news much. I don't know what that was about.”
Kimmel replied, “Yeah, you were a victim of the preemption. Well, I’m glad to have you out here.”
