The Little Caesars Pizza Bowl, Beef \u2018o\u2019 Brady\u2019s Bowl, and the Bad Boy Mowers Gasparilla Bowl, are a few that come to mind. But we have a new contender for the most ridiculous bowl game name \u2014 the Jimmy Kimmel LA Bowl.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The late-night talk show host announced on \u201cJimmy Kimmel Live\u201d Wednesday night that the first edition of the freshly named bowl game will be played at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA on December 18.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The game will select the number one team from the Mountain West Conference against the number five team from the PAC-12.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThis is not a joke,\u201d Kimmel <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/college-football\/story\/_\/id\/31649472\/jimmy-kimmel-title-sponsor-la-bowl-which-debut-december\"><span>said<\/span><\/a><span> during his opening monologue. \u201cThis is a real bowl game named after me, so mark your calendars. \u2026 It\u2019s like an early Christmas gift for all of us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Another lavish Christmas gift for the wealthy elite is always nice to see.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>According to Yahoo Sports, Kimmel signed a multi-year deal with SoFi stadium, which is a first of its kind. The L.A. Bowl has been delayed a year \u2014 originally scheduled to kick off in December 2020 \u2014 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and its inaugural game will be the first college football game played at the stadium.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cJimmy Kimmel L.A.

Somehow, Kimmel has avoided cancellation, continuing to host his late-night show on ABC after apologizing for impersonating NBA player Karl Malone in the 1990s.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cOn KROQ radio in the mid-90s, I did a recurring impression of the NBA player Karl Malone. In the late 90s, I continued impersonating Malone on TV. We hired makeup artists to make me look as much like Karl Malone as possible,\u201d Kimmel <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-jimmy-kimmel-breaks-silence-over-past-blackface-in-statement-taking-swing-at-critics-the-genuinely-racist\"><span>admitted<\/span><\/a><span>. \u201cI never considered that this might be seen as anything other than an imitation of a fellow human being, one that had no more to do with Karl\u2019s skin color than it did his bulging muscles and bald head.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cLooking back, many of these sketches are embarrassing,\u201d he continued, \u201cand it is frustrating that these thoughtless moments have become a weapon used by some to diminish my criticisms of social and other injustices.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>Joe Morgan is the Sports Reporter for The Daily Wire.
