Kimmel Mocks Mike Johnson’s Creepy Father-Son Porn Habits
“What happens between you, Mike, and your Johnson is your business,” said Kimmel.

When Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) was named Speaker of the House, the question everyone seemed to be asking was: Who? Now that we’ve gotten to know a little bit more about Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) successor, the more popular query seems to have become: Say what?
A newly resurfaced video of Johnson from 2022 certainly has Jimmy Kimmel’s head spinning. In the clip, which was filmed at a church in Louisiana, Johnson talks about how he and his son Jack, who was 17 at the time, keep an eye on each other’s porn-watching habits.
“They use something called ‘accountability software,’ which tracks the internet activity on your computer, your phone, your iPad, etc. and shares it with your accountability partner,” Kimmel explains. In Johnson’s case, said partner is his aforementioned teenage son. “So if his son looks at porn, his dad gets an alert. And if Mike looks at porn, his son gets an alert,” Kimmel continued—noting that “It is possible to be too close with your children.”
Kimmel, clearly concerned about Jack’s future wellbeing, made a very public offer to the new speaker: “If you have nobody else in your life to do this with, I will gladly be your porn accountability partner… I’m very open-minded; whatever weird stuff you’re watching—I don’t know, clown porn, cosplay, foot fetish, stuff with the tentacles—no problem, I don’t judge. What happens between you, Mike, and your Johnson is your business. But let’s get your son out of this, huh?”

For his part, Johnson proudly told the guests in attendance at his speech—which was part of a panel titled “War on Technology”—that his son “had a clean slate.”
