Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert discover that 'Bigfoot porn' is a real thing, not just a campaign scandal
The U.S. House race in Virginia's 5th congressional district has gone national because, well, who can resist a story about Bigfoot erotica? On Twitter over the weekend, Democrat Leslie Cockburn accused her opponent, Republican Denver Riggleman, of being "a devotee of Bigfoot erotica," posting (safe for work) images from Riggleman's Instagram feed. In the captions, Riggleman alludes to a book he's writing, The Mating Habits of Bigfoot and Why Woman Want Him.
"Now, Riggleman says the images were a joke, he insists he's not into sexy Bigfoots, he says the book he's working on — the one he posted the cover art for — is a legitimate study of people who believe in Bigfoot, and he didn't know there was such a thing as Bigfoot erotica," Jimmy Kimmel said on Tuesday's Kimmel Live. "I didn't know that, either. But I looked it up — turns out, there is."
