[/tvshowbiz/jimmy-kimmel/index.html Jimmy Kimmel] was last night blasted for joking about [/news/hunter-biden/index.html Hunter Biden]'s drug addiction in a light-hearted interview on his show.
Social media users branded the pair 'dumb and dumber' after they laughed together about how the president's son used to smoke crack cocaine and then take his clothes off.
'Pants were the problem,' the 51-year-old told Kimmel during the interview to promote his new memoir.
But some viewers were less than impressed by their attitude towards cocaine and, more broadly, how the late night host failed to grill Hunter on his role on the board of Ukrainian gas firm Burisma or the infamous contents of his laptop. 
'You know what's worse than Hunter's stupidity?

It's Jimmy Kimmel's stupidity. He's talking to Hunter about Burisma and the laptop as if it was a lie. Dumb and dumber 2,' one user tweeted.
Another wrote: 'Jimmy Kimmel why are you having a criminal on your show. I have no respect for you or your show.
I understand you are serious liberal but there are fact this guy done something shady and you bring him to hunter Biden makes you looks like an idiot.' 
A third tweeted: 'Watching the media and Democrats trying to humanize him has been something to behold.

Hunter was on f****ing Jimmy Kimmel last night. The stuff we know about how alone is awful but what we don't know is likely so much worse.'

Biden appeared on Kimmel's show to promote his new memoir, Beautiful Things
Kimmel did touch on topics including Burisma and the laptop but he never pressed Hunter for an answer and gave any controversy a wide berth, allowing the president's son to steer their conversation back to his book. 
The laptop became a source of interest during the presidential campaign, not just for the salacious contents including Hunter having sex with women and smoking drugs, but there were also claims it had dossiers which showed that Joe Biden was inextricably linked to his son's business dealings.  
'I saw you talking about the laptop in interviews and it became a big thing and when you are asked if it's your laptop, you say, you don't know,' said Kimmel. 
'And that is hard to believe unless you read the book and then I'm surprised you have shoes on.' 
Biden, who writes in graphic detail about his crack addiction, replied: 'Yeah, I made it today.

Pants were the problem.'
The flippant remark was all the more ironic because one of the photos found on the abandoned laptop shows Hunter standing in his underwear. 
One Twitter user commented: 'Bravo.
This is late night comedy alright. The fact Hunter Biden is on @JimmyKimmelLive joking and laughing about his laptop shows us how much of a joke everything and everyone is out there in make believe land.' 
Another user wrote: 'Does Kimmel ask about the Burisma payments?

50k/mo?'
This tweet refers to Hunter's salary while working for Ukrainian gas firm Burisma, up to $50,000 per month, despite no experience in the energy sector. 
He later told Kimmel that he was an exemplary candidate for the board, which he was invited to join in 2014 while his father was in charge of US policy in Ukraine while serving as vice president. 
Donald Trump famously bashed Joe Biden during the campaign with phrases such a 'quid pro Joe,' to claim that the former VP and his family had profited from his office. 
One twitter user last night wrote: 'Many people are calling Hunter Biden an American Hero for advancing our energy interests in the Former Soviet Union.'
Another said: 'I hate it when comedians think they are reporters - I guess a huge percentage of Americans get their news from late-night comics.'
A third wrote: 'Jimmy Kimmel is cool, but man I wish someone serious would've done this interview.

Hunter's saying some interesting stuff.'  






Kimmel later returned to the subject of the laptop, which was handed in to a repair shop in Wilmington, Delaware, and never collected.
Donald Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani then shopped it around to different newspapers.
'I really don't know,' he said. 
'And the fact of the matter is, it's a red herring.

It is absolutely a red herring. 
'I absolutely think within my rights to question anything that comes from the, from the desk of Rudy Giuliani. And so, I don't know. Is the answer.'
Biden, seen in a photo which was found on his laptop, joked on Thursday night that 'pants were a problem' when he was on crack 
Kimmel asked: 'Do you ever wish you had Apple Care?'
Biden conceded: 'That would have been a good idea.'
Biden also spoke about his controversial appointment to the board of Ukrainian energy firm Burisma Holdings, which critics have claimed he was unqualified for and was only given because his father was Vice President at the time.    
He said: 'Go to the beginning.

I went to Yale law school. I served on a dozen boards before Burisma, I was a vice chairman of the board in Amtrak, and chairman of the board at the World Food Program U.S.,supporting the largest humanitarian organization in the world.
'I had an expertise in corporate governance and I was a lawyer.

Which was how I was first approached. However, what I didn't take in to account was the way in which they would use the perception against my dad. 
'I would not do it again for that reason.'
The California-based father of five spoke after DailyMail.com confirmed that the laptop was indeed his. 
DailyMail.com commissioned top cyber forensics experts Maryman & Associates to analyze its data and determine whether the laptop's contents were real.
The firm's founder, Brad Maryman, is a 29-year FBI veteran Supervisory Special Agent who served as an Information Security Officer and founded its first computer forensics lab. 
Maryman and his business partner Dr.

Joseph Greenfield used the same forensic tools to pick apart the drive as federal and state law enforcement use in criminal investigations, and prepared a report for DailyMail.com.
The report said the data on the drive 'appear to be authentic', and that after an extensive search of its contents for any tell-tale signs of tampering, Maryman and Greenfield found 'no evidence' of fabrication - by Russians or anyone else.
'The data on the system before April 2019 appears to be related to Mr.

Biden, with timestamps appearing to be between 2016 and 2019,' the Maryman and Associates report said.
Hunter on Thursday night thanked his father Joe for loving him and wanting him to get well 
'The operating system timestamps appear to be authentic, and no evidence was found to suggest that the timestamps or data were altered or manufactured.

No indications were found that would indicate the data was manufactured.'
Hunter's new memoir, Beautiful Things, came out Tuesday  and promised to give a candid account of the president's son's addiction 
In a presidential debate in October, Joe Biden referred to the leaks of Hunter's emails as 'a bunch of garbage.'
But in an interview with CBS on Sunday to promote his new book, Beautiful Things, Hunter said the laptop 'could be' his.
'There could be a laptop out there that was stolen from me.

It could be that I was hacked. It could be that it was the — that it was Russian intelligence. It could be that it was stolen from me or that there was a laptop stolen from me,' he said. 
 On Thursday DailyMail.com exposed the secrets of Hunter's abandoned laptop.
Among the 103,199 text messages on the hard drive dating from 2016 to March 2019 are fraught conversations between President Joe Biden and his son. 
The bombshell cache of 103,000 text messages, 154,000 emails, more than 2,000 photos and dozens of videos are packed with revelations conveniently missing from the memoir, including:
How he begged his father to run for president in 2019 to salvage Hunter's own reputationHow he repeatedly dodged police action against him, despite constantly dealing with drug pushers and prostitutes and having multiple run-ins with law enforcementHunter was guarded by a Secret Service agent while on a 2018 drug and prostitute binge in Hollywood, despite not being entitled to protection at the time and amid denials from the federal agencyJoe Biden was afraid his text conversations with Hunter were being hacked even as they discussed his White House bidHow Hunter's laptop is brimming with evidence of apparent criminal activity by Hunter and his associates including drug trafficking and prostitution On Hunter's laptop he had his own profile on porn site Pornhub where there was content of him in bed with two woman with a small dog nearby.

Hunter photographed and filmed himself, often with two prostitutes at a time, in explicit videos
