“These are the late night wars,” Jimmy Kimmel said.
However, the host of ABC Jimmy Kimmel Live! was not referring to ratings or the accommodation battle The show tonight.
He was talking about pizza.
A few days ago, Fallon posted a three minute video of himself making his own pizza on Instagram and the video has had over 1 million views.
The former SNL-er said he was inspired by watching Stanley Tucci’s CNN series in search of Italy to make his own pizza. Although he almost set off his fire alarm, Fallon rolled his dough, picked up his San Marzano tomatoes, and placed his creation in his Breville pizzeria.
“It’s the best we’ve ever had, it’s amazing. Kids, we have dinner and lunch for tomorrow, ”he said as his wife Nancy Juvonen filmed him.

Kimmel took offense at this and decided to release his own rival pizza video.
“Hey Jimmy, it’s Jimmy. I saw your pizza making video on Instagram, it was very cute, you are very cute. Heard you describe the pizza you made as the best pizza ever and didn’t have it, but I don’t agree with that. There are some mistakes, ”he said. “Stanley Tucci is a friend of mine and you, my friend, are not Stanley Tucci.”
Kimmel called Fallon’s use of a rolling pin “outrageous” and said the raw pizza needs to be stretched, not rolled, otherwise it will take out the air. He called the San Marzano tomatoes “complete nonsense”, instead of using Bianco DiNapoli tomatoes, added if you “order extra cheese you’re an animal, go eat at Dominos” and called out the “little one”. adorable Fallon’s waffle maker as he put his version in his outdoor pizza oven. “So much better than yours,” he added.
The battle for late-night viewers may heat up – Fallon’s show has touted its earnings to 18-49 viewers in recent weeks while Kimmel’s show is ahead of total viewership – but Kimmel used the pizza battle to raise money for charity.
He called on viewers to donate $ 5 to No Kid Hungry – a nationwide campaign to end child hunger in the United States – to help them decide which pizza was best.
