Former Rep. George Santo isn't laughing about pranks late-night show
host Jimmy Kimmel has pulled on him. Kimmel acknowledged the possibility
of legal action by Santos as part of his pranking, saying it would be a
‘dream come true.'
Santos is making Kimmel's dream come true. He is suing Kimmel, Disney,
and ABC over a series of pranks Kimmel has pulled on Santos to humiliate
Santos and use as material for his television show.
Santos was kicked to the curb by the House in December, a little over a
year after he was elected. He was surrounded by charges of fraud, among
others, and a House Ethics Committee report found that Santos spent
campaign funds on things like Hermes, Botox, and OnlyFans.
Once he was out of office, he began offering himself up on the Cameo
app, where celebrities are paid to do personalized videos. Kimmel paid
$500 per video, at least 14 times. Kimmel made pseudonymous requests,
providing scripts asking Santos to offer congratulations or whatever to
the recipient. Kimmel was the recipient.
Among Kimmel’s scripts for Santos were videos congratulating a woman for
successfully cloning her schnauzer named Adolf, as well as a man for
winning a competitive ground beef eating contest, court papers noted.
Santos filed a lawsuit on Saturday that claims Kimmel deceived him into
making the videos to ridicule him on his late-night show. The lawsuit
was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New
York. The lawsuit includes ABC and Disney, besides Kimmel. Disney is the
parent company of ABC.
Kimmel turned his pranks into a segment on his show.
Starting in December the videos were played on a segment, “ Will Santos
Say It? ” the suit says.
In one of the clips, Santos offers congratulations to the purported
winner of a beef-eating contest, calling the feat of consuming 6 pounds
(2.7 kilograms) of loose ground beef in under 30 minutes “amazing and
impressive.”
“Frankly, Kimmel’s fake requests were funny, but what he did was clear
violation of copyright law,” Robert Fantone, an attorney for Santos,
said in an email.
Santos is seeking at least $750,000 in damages for the five videos that
were aired on Kimmel's show. He also asks for other damages to be
determined at trial.
It's more than a little ironic that Santos is suing over fraud, given
his history in politics.
“At the heart of this dispute lies the deliberate deception and wrongful
appropriation of the Plaintiff’s digital content by the Defendants,
orchestrated through the platform Cameo.com, where celebrities and
public figures are meant to connect with their fans through personalized
video messages,” declares Santos’ jury seeking complaint filed Saturday
in federal court in the Empire State.
“Defendants openly admitted to deceiving the Plaintiff under the guise
of fandom, soliciting personalized videos only to then broadcast these
on national television and across social media channels for commercial
gain—actions that starkly violate the original agreement and constitute
clear copyright infringement.”
Santos said he is standing up for himself in filing the lawsuit.
I think Santos is a garbage human as a politician. He's a fraudster.
He's out of office, though, and Kimmel is cashing in on Santos'
gullibility. Or, even if he knew he was being played, he did it anyway
and collected the check. Either way, Kimmel opened himself up to legal
action.
Kimmel is a garbage person, too, if you ask me. He and the other
late-night hosts killed late-night shows for at least half of the
country. They don't offer up comedy anymore, it's all about politics and
the DNC talking points. It's not entertaining unless the viewer is a
partisan Democrat.
His show is popular. Fortunately for the other half of America, Fox News
Channel launched Greg Gutfeld's early late-night show. It airs in the
late primetime slot and is immensely popular. Jon Stewart's return to
The Daily Show didn't surpass Gutfeld in ratings. People want to be
entertained after a long day. There is a market for comedy in late-night
television and Fox is filling that void.
