No one in Jimmy Kimmel’s audience says they’ve signed up for Obamacare

Jimmy Kimmel asked his audience Tuesday night to raise their hands if they’ve signed up for Obamacare. No hands went up — at least none visible to the human eye.

“Really?” Kimmel responded, while cracking up. “Well, they claim that more than 3 million people have now signed up on healthcare.gov website. Maybe they have. I don’t know.”

He then aired a video sketch mocking the government’s Obamacare implementation problems.

It’s possible that Kimmel’s producers asked everyone in the audience to keep their hands down as part of the gag. Who knows? Either way, it’s clear Obamacare continues to be a late night punchline.
