One winner nearly everyone can agree on from Sunday night’s presidential debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton is Ken Bone, the 34-year-old coal plant operator from Illinois. As an undecided voter, Bone was selected to ask the candidates a question.
During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Monday night, Bone once again showcased his unassuming demeanor, plain-spoken style, and trademark red sweater that won him internet fame in the first place. He and Kimmel talked about endorsement deals, what his family thinks, and whether he’s picked a candidate yet, and Bone had an amusing one-liner ready for nearly every one of Kimmel’s questions.
On the fact that his internet fans are calling themselves “Boneheads”: “That’s fantastic, I’ve been calling my family that for years.”
On how his wife and son are handling his meme-ification: “Heather is maybe a little tired of dealing with me in general after 12 years. … Logan says Dad is the best kind of famous: internet famous.”
On whether he’s received any endorsement offers: “No, but feel free to pass them along.”
Although Bone told The New York Times that he was leaning toward voting for Hillary Clinton, he told Kimmel that he’s “more undecided than I was before,” adding that he was probably more economically aligned with Trump, but the idea of a Supreme Court justice appointed by Trump rolling back marriage equality was unconscionable.
Finally, Kimmel had a man in the audience dressed exactly like Bone ask him how he got “such a fresh and cool style.”
“I think the short answer is that my wife dresses me,” Bone responded. “Like all great Americans.”
