Jimmy Kimmel is back in California after a week spent taping his show in New York and hes back to focusing on a familiar comedic target: Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).

Cancun Ted is hitting the campaign trail on a 17-state Take Back America bus tour, Kimmel said. What exactly hes taking American back from, only Ted Cruz knows.

Cruz filmed himself at a Buc-ees gas station buying beer and Beaver Nuggets corn puffs in an attempt to seem relatable.

What a video, Kimmel said after playing the footage. What a totally regular and not-at-all pretending-to-be-an-average-Joe dude he is. Let me just stop by the Buc-ees for some beer and Beaver Nuggets and wash it all down with a healthy helping of stepmom porn.

He was referring, of course, to the 2017 incident in which Cruzs Twitter account liked a hardcore porn video something the senator later blamed on a staffer.

But the video did make Kimmel feel something for Cruz... almost.

If he wasnt so horrible, Id feel sorry for him, Kimmel said. You know, no one wanted to go on that bus with him, right? Everyone on his staff suddenly tested positive for COVID.
