Lil Rel Howery Talks Police Accountability, Double Standards in 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' Guest Hosting Gig
Lil Rel Howery passionately took on police shootings and budgets, the recent NBA and WNBA protests, and a discrepancy in treatment between America's white and Black teens during his guest hosting stint on Jimmy Kimmel Live! "I mean look, either I was gonna do this, or go on my Instagram Live," Howery said of his nearly nine-minute opening monologue on Thursday night. "I was gonna talk about this either way." In a segment that covered a wide range of timely racial justice and political subjects, the actor-comedian mixed light humor with serious calls to examine double standards surrounding deadly interactions between police officers and protesters.
