ousted from Congress by his peers following a damning report that alleged he engaged in ethical and financial wrongdoing.He initially started charging $75 per video, with his fee rising to $500 per video.Kimmel, eager to exploit Santos’s story for laughs, announced a new segment during Friday’s show called, “Will George Santos Say It?”In it, he pranks Santos by sending in requests, using anonymous names, for the gay Republican to respond to questions, offer well-wishes, or read various messages aloud.The first video in the series, “Jimmy Kimmel Pranks George Santos on Cameo,” brought in 1.4 million views on YouTube.
In preparation for that segment, Kimmel’s production team submitted requests using fake names asking Santos to congratulate the winner of a fictitious beef-eating contest, congratulate a woman for the successful cloning of her pet schnauzer, and ask an estranged wife to contact her husband, who allegedly had burnt down their shed by setting off fireworks.Kimmel aired the messages from Santos on his show, noting that he had ordered “about a dozen more of these.”In a more recent segment that aired on Monday, Santos was seen offering congratulations and well-wishes to a legally blind woman who allegedly passed a driving test only to subsequently be hospitalized after an accident and congratulating someone for coming out as a “furry.”Santos apparently does have limits on what he will parrot for money, claiming to have rejected over 60 requests.He notes he won’t say “pro-Osama bin Laden stuff” due to the sensitive nature of the 911 terrorist attacks, and won’t engage in anti-Semitic rhetoric.Santos, who has come under fire for fabricating parts of his biography, had previously claimed he was descended from Jews.
