Kimmel: Impossible Foods’ Defense of Joey Chestnut Being ‘Limited to One Weiner’ Is ‘Very Pinkett-Smith’

EXCERPT:

KIMMEL: "Speaking of elephants, the 16-time champ at the Nathan’s annual hot dog eating contest, guy named Joey Chestnut, he has the world record for eating 76 hot dogs in 10 minutes, has been banned from the competition this year because he signed an endorsement deal with a vegan meat company — 

(Laughter)

— which in and of itself is insane. It’s like if Cookie Monster signed a deal with celery.

(Laughter)

But his sponsor, Impossible Foods, makes non-meat hot dogs. They signed him to an exclusive contract that makes him ineligible to gorge himself at Coney Island this year. Impossible believes he should still be allowed to compete. They released a statement that said, 'Meat eaters shouldn’t have to be exclusive to just one wiener,' which is very Pinkett-Smith of them to say.”
