He made a joke about Robert Downey Jr's addiction and said, "This is the highest point of Robert Downey Jr's long and illustrious career. Well, one of the highest points."
And this didn't end there. He then told him, "Was that too on the nose or a drug motion you made?".?
As if this wasn't enough, Kimmel added, "But look at him, he's so handsome, so talented, he's won every award there is to win.?"Is that an acceptance speech in your pocket or do you just have a very rectangular penis?"
