JIMMY KIMMEL

The late-night host is trading his dress shoes for basketball kicks for a face-off he promises will be “bigger than the NBA Finals, bigger than the Stanley Cup.” He told “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” viewers Monday that “on Saturday, I will fly to Texas — on a plane — to play Sen. Ted Cruz in a game of one-on-one basketball. The reason this is happening is because after Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals, I likened Sen. Cruz to a blobfish, and he did not like that likening, so he challenged me.”
