Hillary Clinton: Too busy with world peace to worry about who gets the TV remote
The Democratic presidential candidate appeared on Thursday night.
Democratic hopeful Hillary Clinton has been making the late-night rounds. She stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! Thursday night — “I know you’ve done all the late-night shows, I just want to thank you for doing us last,’’ Kimmel said — to talk about her busy days, how Republicans have said nice things about her, and attending Donald Trump’s wedding.
Kimmel asked how the Clintons’ domestic lives would change if they were back living in the White House, this time with Hillary as president.
“Will you have the head spot at the dinner table now that you would be president? Will the remote for the television be on your side of the bed?’’ Kimmel asked.
“That is too big an issue for me to take on,’’ Clinton replied. “I gotta do world peace and get the economy going and take care of people.’’

After the crowd’s cheers died down, Clinton leaned in to the joke even further.
“I’d like maybe the National Institute of Health, or maybe it’s Mental Health, to try to figure out what is it about a remote and a man?’’
“Well, I think I could explain it, but it would be inappropriate,’’ Kimmel said.
“Yeah, maybe we better take it offline,’’ she said.
Kimmel and Clinton then moved on to discussing tougher questions, like what the heck would Bill be called as the first male spouse in the White House?
“Would he be the first man, would he be the first gentleman, would he be the first mate?’’ Kimmel asked. “Who decides that?’’
Clinton didn’t yet have that figured out, but she did have a concrete answer to Kimmel’s next question: Yes, she would win if she were running against her husband.
