Arguably the only real winner of Sunday night's presidential debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton was Ken Bone, an audience member who asked a question about energy policy and became instantly famous for his red sweater and mustache. Jimmy Kimmel interviewed him on Monday's Kimmel Live, and the first questions weren't exactly hard-hitting. "Do you have any idea of how adorable you are?" Kimmel asked. "That's a definitive yes," Bone said.
"When did you find out that you'd suddenly become famous?" Kimmel asked. Bone explained that the debate audience wasn't allowed to have phones or other electronic devices inside the debate hall, and "when I turned my phone back on when I got back to my car, at about 10:15 central [time] and I had a few thousand missed messages, I started to think maybe today was going to be a long day." It's when Kimmel asked Bone if he was still undecided over who he will vote for that things got interesting. "Everybody doesn't like it that much, but I think I'm more undecided than I was before," Bone said. "I had to sort of put my head down while mom and dad were arguing over Thanksgiving dinner last night."
