Sunday was supposed to be all about the Oscars on Jimmy Kimmel Live but, really, it was all about Batman v Superman. The host had Ben Affleck on to talk about the movie, premiered a new clip, and showed this special “deleted scene” from the film.
This, of course, was not an actual “deleted scene,” but instead a skit based on a scene from the trailer. In the actual movie, Bruce Wayne arrives at a Lex Luthor benefit and is interviewed by Daily Planet reporter Clark Kent. This recreation inserts Kimmel into the proceedings with Batman v Superman stars Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, and even Jesse Eisenberg. Make sure you stay until the end for a surprise guest!

I’ve got to admit— from an European perspective, this talk show style skit is terrible. Goes to show how humor is all in the editing, here there’s a slowness of pace that’s cringe-worthy, and the fact that it’s just one joke repeated for five minutes...
I don’t get you Americans. Improvised talk shows are atrocious and fine we let you have that but come on, that thing was scripted. What is wrong with your tastes.
