Jimmy Kimmel will stop at nothing until he gets on that guest list. He’s been on a photoshopping spree ever since Magic Johnson’s Italian summer dropped on Instagram. Over the past week, NBA legends Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson have been luxuriously traveling through Italy. Even Oscar-winning actor Samuel L. Jackson dropped by! While the jealousy towards this iconic trio’s trip is understandable, Kimmel has taken it to a whole new level. The talk show host took to his Instagram, where he posted a photo shared by Magic. Except, something was a bit off.
Seems like Jimmy is ready to shimmy as he’s been on a hot streak with his photo editing skills on Instagram. Let’s shed some light on the most recent one.

The Los Angeles Lakers legend has a summer ritual. When it gets warm outside, Earvin packs his bags and brings his family and friends out to some beautiful part of the world. This year, it’s his family, MJ, and Samuel Jackson and his family, that make up the traveling party. One can only imagine what fun times and conversations are ensuing between the legends. But for Jimmy Kimmel, imagining isn’t enough.
Jimmy’s humorous and numerous threads of making himself part of the all-exclusive yacht party just took a weird turn.

In a post shared by the 5-time champion, he and the Chicago Bulls legend are seen enjoying themselves out in Europe. In the background, a band of local performers can be seen serenading them with tunes at a cafe in Capri, Italy.
With the humorous rage of not being invited even after expressing himself to the 15-time all-star, Kimmel’s retaliation continued. With a hot summer head, Jimmy made his presence felt as he inserted himself in the beautiful moment.

The talk show host could be seen wearing a blue colored beach shirt as he edited himself right between the performers.
The post was captioned “belting out showtunes with my best friends Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson at the world-famous Da Paolino Ristorante in #Capri.”
The fans speak about Jimmy’s antics
Multiple attempts throughout the years haven’t been fruitful for Kimmel as he’s been denied access to the yacht repeatedly. Jimmy has expressed his desire to be among the cool kids of the NBA during their summer time off. Unfortunately, to no avail. Missing out on the invite again this year made the talk show host turn towards such bizarre and humorous antics.
For the rest of us, enviously watching from the sidelines, the salty posts of Jimmy Kimmel have been a welcome addition.
One fan commented, “I look forward to this series every summer so so good.”
Another user posited, “Jordan can’t help himself. Laughing too hard.”
Of course, some fans were a little tired of the veiled complaints. And they let Kimmel know under the post.
“You’re a Dork”
“Dude it just not funny anymore. Let it go”

Thankfully, the general sentiment was very much in favor of the tomfoolery.
“Haters will say it’s fake!”

Joel McHale, also of Hollywood fame, commented, “Time of your life.”
Classic banter. Even if Kimmel couldn’t secure the invite to this exclusive yacht club, he did manage to win a good amount of engagement. What do you think about his photoshopped images? Funny or too much? Let us know below!
