Jimmy Kimmel isn't as cuddly as Jimmy Fallon, as smart as Stephen Colbert, as beloved as Jon Stewart, as respected as David Letterman, or as surreal as Craig Ferguson. But he is really great at making fun of Fashion Week attendees. Kimmel continued his tradition of making strangers who want to be on camera look like frauds when he sent a crew down to Lincoln Center for Fashion Week. And he proved once and for all that if you put a camera in people's faces, they will pretend they know about a make-believe Antonin Scalia fashion line.
"Chandler Bing I have heard of, and you know what, I do follow," one fellow says. "It's all about social media as well, so I really follow the brand as well." Check out Kimmel's Fashion Week trolling video from last year below.
