By Bethy Squires
Jimmy Kimmel has been avidly following MyPillow creator Mike Lindell’s descent into madness. The latest manifestation of which was a 48-hour livestream launch for his “free speech network,” Frank. The clips are pure insanity, more so than a 48-hour livestream merits. On Wednesday night, Kimmel’s video team pulled a supercut of Lindell trying to pronounce the name Ursula for a full minute. At one point, he may have called her Zillow, which, let’s be honest, will become a popular baby name once millennials decide it’s financially safe to have kids.
But that’s not all! On Tuesday night, Kimmel offered to have Mike Lindell on his show. He had some conditions, however: He wanted it to be in person and on a bed surrounded by MyPillows. Well, it would appear Lindell agreed to the terms, because he is booked for the April 28 show. Kimmel noted that the avowed conspiracist seemed weirdly eager to hoof it to Hollywood, saying, “For a guy who’s convinced that this town is full of celebrity baby cannibals, [he] seems to have no reservations about coming out whatsoever.”

Comedian James Adomian engages in some pillow talk.

James Adomian has channeled George W. Bush, Bernie Sanders and Michael Caine. But it's his sidesplitting impression of Mike Lindell that's given him the biggest boost of his career. Over the past few weeks, the comedian has been popping up on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" as the Minnesota-based MyPillow founder, spewing conspiracy theories like a kid begging to stay up past his bedtime. "Rarely do I have trouble keeping a straight face while hosting the show," Kimmel wrote in an e-mail. "But James eating packing peanuts and going all out as a maniac pillow salesman makes me laugh hard." Adomian, who was last in the Twin Cities five years ago with "Trump vs. Bernie: The Debate!," broke down his red-hot impersonation last weekend from his Los Angeles home.
Q: How do you decide who you want to tackle?
A: I don't really force it. Whenever I see certain people on the news or in real life, an echo starts bouncing around in my head for a few weeks, sometimes a few years. When it comes to Lindell, I first saw his commercials five or 10 years ago. I think he was wearing pajamas. I thought his whole get-up was funny. I found myself talking back to the TV. I've been doing him in my stand-up for years. And then he sort of transitioned from TV commercial fixture to this grand Trump supporter.
Q: You also do impressions of Jesse Ventura and Al Franken. Did that make it easier or harder to take on Lindell?
A: Yeah, that's sort of by accident. But when Lindell came along, I knew it was time to open up the Minnesota file again. The trick is trying to differentiate him from Ventura. They both have thick Minnesota accents, but Jesse sounds like a wolverine who has been living outside for a while. His voice is kind of low and blown out. Lindell's register is higher and more pleading.
Q: Beyond the voice, you also look a lot like Lindell on the show. What are the physical challenges?
A: They have a really great makeup team. They take care of the skin tone, the mustache, that floppy sandy hair he's got. In terms of his facial expressions, I try to mimic that grimace that he has. At the same time, he's very happy about his pillow. Once you wind him up, he doesn't stop talking. He keeps going, even if he doesn't know what he's going to say next.
Q: Did you read his book?
A: I did not subject myself to reading the whole thing. I read enough to get what I'm doing. I'm currently reading Virgil's "The Aeneid." I'm into ancient books and classics.
