"When I am vice president, I will be working not for me, but for you," an optimistic Jimmy Kimmel said on Thursday's Kimmel Live. "There is no 'I' in Jimmy Kimmel... there's no 'me' in Jimmy Kimmel — oh wait, actually there is a 'me.' You know what I mean, I'm a real nice guy, is what I'm trying to say, and I'm going to be good at this." Not everyone thinks he is qualified to be vice president, Kimmel said, but he has watched all the TV shows and movies about being vice president, "and I have tons of experience not telling the truth." And to those people who still think he's not qualified, he had one thing to show them: Joe Biden, on a stage. He could also have shown footage of Dan Quayle misspelling 'potato' or Dick Cheney after he shot a hunting companion in the face. Really, being vice president isn't that hard. Watch Kimmel make his latest pitch below. Peter Weber
