Jimmy Kimmel created a special goodbye book for Ben Carson, who is expected to end his presidential campaign after failing to win a single primary state to date. Kimmel presented the book Goodnight Ben to audiences Thursday night.
“Goodnight scalpel, goodnight brain, goodnight pyramids filled with grain,” Kimmel read, referencing Carson’s profession as a brain surgeon. “Goodnight lion, goodnight crab, goodnight friend he tried to stab…goodnight crazy sh*t he said, goodnight stars, goodnight sky, evolution is alive. So say goodnight and go to bed and make room for Marco, make room for Ted.”
Kimmel said the book was created because he wanted to make sure Carson is remembered by the next generation and called the suspension of his presidential campaign a shame because “America needs a sleepy president.”
The new children’s book, with colorful drawings of Carson in pajamas, ended with a sarcastic warning to America.
“Goodnight tree and goodnight stump, goodnight America – ‘cause here comes Trump,” Kimmel said.
