Jimmy Kimmel on Passenger Dragged Off United Flight

AUDIENCE TONIGHT ARE VISITING
FROM OUT OF TOWN, YOU FLEW HERE
TO BE --
>> OKAY, QUITE A FEW.
>> Jimmy: I'M GLAD NONE OF YOU
WERE YANKED OFF YOUR PLANE.
HAVE YOU SEEN THE VIDEO OF THE
GUY GETTING DRAGGED OFF THE
UNITED FLIGHT YESTERDAY IN
CHICAGO?
THEY OVERBOOKED A FLIGHT TO
LOUISVILLE.
I'VE BEEN TO 100 GAMES AND
STADIUMS WITH 50,000 SEATS.
THEY NEVER SELL THE SAME SEAT
TWO TIMES TO ONE PERSON, BUT FOR
SOME REASON, AIRLINES CAN'T
FIGURE THIS OUT.
SO WHEN THEY HAVE MORE
PASSENGERS THAN SEATS, THEY
OFFER INCENTIVES TO GET PEOPLE
TO VOLUNTEER TO NOT FLY, AND YOU
GET A VOUCHER.
IN THIS CASE THEY OFFERED THE
PEOPLE $400 AND A HOTEL.
THEY UPPED IT TO $800 AND NO
TAKERS.
SO THEY RANDOMLY SELECTED FOUR
PASSENGERS TO BE REMOVED FROM
THE PLANE.
THREE OF THEM GOT UP
BEGRUDGINGLY AND GOT OFF.
ONE OF THE PASSENGERS SAID HE
WAS A DOCTOR AND HAD TO BE AT
THE HOSPITAL IN THE MORNING, SO
HE REFUSED TO DEPLANE, AND THIS
IS HOW THAT REFUSAL WENT.
[ SCREAMING ]
>> OH, MY GOD.
>> OH, MY GOD.
NO.
>> OH, MY GOD.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
NO.
THIS IS WRONG.
OH, MY GOD.
LOOK AT WHAT YOU DID TO HIM.
>> OH, MY GOD.
>> Jimmy: THAT'S INTERESTING TO
SEE WHO LAUGHS AT THIS.
THAT'S HOW MY MOTHER USED TO GET
ME OUT OF BED TO GO TO SCHOOL
EVERY MORNING.
THIS POOR GUY, THEY ROUGHED HIM
UP.
THE REASON THEY WERE OVERBOOKED
IS BECAUSE THEY WERE TRYING TO
GET FOUR UNITED AIRLINES
EMPLOYEES ON BOARD.
THEY SAID THEY HAD TO GET TO
LOUISVILLE SO THEY KICKED THE
CUSTOMERS OFF TO MAKE ROOM FOR
THEM, AND ABOUT 10 MINUTES
LATER, THE GUY THEY KICKED OFF,
HE SOMEHOW WOUND UP BACK ON THE
PLANE.
>> I HAVE TO GO HOME.
I HAVE TO GO HOME.
>> HE HAD TO GO HOME.
HE DIDN'T GO HOME.
THEY LEFT HIM IN LOUISVILLE.
THE EMPLOYEES OF UNITED GOT ON
AND THE PASSENGERS BOOED THEM
WHEN THEY GOT ON THE PLANE,
WHICH IS ALL TERRIBLE, BUT THIS
MIGHT BE THE WORST PART.
THE CEO OF UNITED RELEASED A
STATEMENT VIA TWITTER.
THIS IS WHAT THE CEO TWEETED.
THIS IS AN UPSETTING EVENT TO
ALL OF US AT UNITED.
I APOLOGIZE FOR HAVING TO
REACCOMMODATE THESE CUSTOMERS.
HE SAID REACCOMMODATE.
IT'S LIKE WE REACCOMMODATED EL
CHAPO OUT OF MEXICO.
[ APPLAUSE ]
>> Jimmy: THAT IS SUCH SANITIZED
SAY NOTHING TAKE NO
RESPONSIBILITY CORPORATE B.S.
SPEAK.
I DON'T KNOW HOW HE DIDN'T VOMIT
WHEN HE SENT THAT OUT.
WHEN YOU BREAK THIS DOWN, A MAN
WAS FORCIBLY DRAGGED OFF A
FLIGHT BECAUSE THEY OVERSOLD IT.
YOU THAT HAPPENS, I DON'T KNOW.
AND BY THE WAY, THEY ALMOST
CERTAINLY COULD HAVE GOTTEN
VOLUNTEERS BY OFFERING MORE
MONEY.
GO UP TO 1000,000.
WHO CARES.
IT'S NOT THE PASSENGER'S FAULT
THAT YOU SOLD TOO MANY TICKETS
ON YOUR PLANE.
IMAGINE IF THIS HAPPENED AT
APPLEBEE'S.
IMAGINE IF YOU SIT DOWN, ORDER
YOUR THREE CHEESE CHICKEN MEAL,
FINE, 20 MINUTES LATER THE
WAITER COMES OVER AND SAYS
SORRY, WE HAVE ANOTHER PARTY
COMING AND WE NEED THIS CHAIR.
EITHER YOU LEAVE OR WE'LL MAKE
YOU LEAVE.
YOU SAY I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE.
I ORDERED MY FOOD, AND THEY DRAG
YOU OUT.
YOU WOULDN'T EAT THERE AGAIN.
THE NEXT TIME THIS HAPPENS, IF
ONE FLIGHT IS A DOLLAR LESS THAN
THE OTHER ONES, THAT'S THE ONE
WE'LL PICK.
THEY KNOW THIS.
THAT'S WHY WE'RE STUCK WITH
THEM.
THE ONLY OTHER CHOICE IS THE
BUS, SO UNITED DIDN'T EVEN ADMIT
THEY DID ANYTHING WRONG.
IF ANYTHING, THEY SEEMED TO BE
DOUBLING DOWN ON THIS.
>> WE'RE UNITED AIRLINES.
YOU DO WHAT WE SAY WHEN WE SAY,
AND THERE WON'T BE A PROBLEM.
IF WE SAY YOU FLY, YOU FLY.
IF NOT, TOUGH [ BLEEP ].
>> LOOK AT WHAT YOU DID TO HIM.
>> GIVE US A PROBLEM, AND WE'LL
DRAG YOUR ASS OFF THE PLANE.
AND IF YOU DO THIS, WE'LL BEAT
YOU SO BADLY YOU'LL BE USING
YOUR OWN FACE AS A FLOTATION
DEVICE.
YOU NIG
UNITED AIRLINES, [ BLEEP ] YOU.
>> Jimmy: WO
