While Jay Leno did an adorable Susan Boyle sketch, Jimmy Kimmel offered an extremely racy—and some might say inappropriate—skit about the singing phenomenon in his monologue on April 23, 2009.
Taking heart to the revelation that Susan Boyle was joking when she said to Simon she has never been kissed, Jimmy Kimmel revealed a totally different side to Susan Boyle.
Starting around the 1:20 mark in the video, the alleged real Susan Boyle sang while flashing her breasts and took part in a Girls Gone Wild video.
What do you think, was this just silly fun or did Jimmy Kimmel cross the line with his Susan Boyle parody?
