Jimmy Kimmel Sings A Farewell Song To Oprah With Boyz II Men (See If You Can Guess Which Song!)

video
» 2 comments

Jimmy Kimmel has always had a deep, abiding love for Oprah Winfrey. Why else would he have played the truly horrifying creation “Oprah Jimfrey” on The Man Show 12 years ago? So, with Oprah’s show finally heading to that Favorite Place in the sky, it’s unsurprising that he’d want to give her a little tribute. However, last night, Kimmel went all out, bringing in Boyz II Men to sing their touching farewell (and parody farewell) staple, “It’s Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday.”

After a funny video featuring slow motion shots of Oprah shaving Dr. Phil and slightly altered lyrics (it’s been a while, but I don’t think the original song made any mention of giving out cars), the band and Kimmel took to the stage for a big live finale. Unsurprisingly, while the boyz are all very definitely men at this point, they still have nicer singing voices than Kimmel.
