On Tuesday, Donald Trump said that he's "the worst thing that's ever happened to ISIS," and Jimmy Kimmel wondered how many Americans share that sentiment. So, for Wednesday's Jimmy Kimmel Live, he sent a crew out to Hollywood Blvd. to ask random pedestrians to fill in the blank: "Donald Trump is the worst thing that ever happened to...." You may not be surprised that "ISIS" wasn't the first word on many people's tongues. But the Kimmel crew did meet one foreign-sounding Trump supporter (who obviously didn't sign a release form), and finally found two people who either follow Trump or watch Barbara Walters, maybe both. Watch below to see the other responses. Peter Weber
