Summary
Darline Graham was sworn in Tuesday to finish her late brother's Senate term, becoming South Carolina's first female senator, as guest host Ike Barinholtz used the appointment for crude jokes on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!".
Barinholtz mocked the succession by saying he thought Lindsey Graham "was Lindsey Graham's sister" and added a vulgar line about Darline Graham's pledge to support the president.
Monday's show had already featured Barinholtz joking that "Mitch McConnell is alive, Lindsey Graham is dead," while referencing fears the program could be "pulled off the air again."
Lindsey Graham, 71, died Saturday night; an autopsy on Sunday said the cause was aortic dissection due to arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
