While “Jimmy Kimmel Live” isn’t necessarily known for its sweet approach to babies or children (Kimmel routinely exhorts parents to prank their kids and capture it on camera for yuks), on Thursday night he managed to blend a spoof of “The Bachelor/The Bachelorette” with a clutch of toddler actors that was, well, downright adorable. Or sick. Whichever you prefer.
“The Baby Bachelor,” in which Wesley, a very young man just looking for a play date has to choose between a collection of similarly youthful ladies. And they’re just as much of a handful as their grown-up counterparts, as demonstrated by the lovely blonde who just can’t stop crying. Wesley not only gives her a hug but a peck on the cheek, to no avail.
Then of course there’s always one: 35-month-old Jesse is a “stay-at-home daughter” who is “looking for a sugar daddy.”
The deck might initially seem stacked for Ashley, the dental hygienist, because our baby Bachelor really showed his hand early by revealing that he’d “like to get the big girl.” But we’ve seen enough seasons of this franchise to know that it’s still anybody’s game at this stage. But enough about babies. You get the picture.
