Jimmy Kimmel's people on the street have mixed views about new Supreme Court Justice Christopher Columbus
Monday was Columbus Day, and despite the good people of Los Angeles officially celebrating Indigenous Peoples Day instead, Jimmy Kimmel Live marked the occasion by pestering people on Hollywood Boulevard about Christopher Columbus, sort of.
