Jimmy Kimmel makes a surprisingly plausible Donald Trump Nobel Peace Prize campaign ad

Some people might consider it ludicrous that Donald Trump has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize, Jimmy Kimmel said on Thursday's Kimmel Live, "but he seems excited about it. I mean, he might be the first person ever to campaign for Nobel Prize consideration." That's the setup for a presidential campaign–style ad that Team Kimmel created, with a spot-on Trump impersonator narrating a remarkably Trump-sounding ad touting his love of peace (and trash-talking rival nominee Pope Francis). "This Nobel season, it's time to honor the most peaceful person in the world, and maybe history," Kimmel's Trump says. "There's no one more peaceful than me." Watch the ad, and its surprise ending, below. Peter Weber
