Sen. Ted Cruz will face off against late-night host Jimmy Kimmel in a game of one-on-one basketball Saturday, with the proceeds to benefit two Houston-based charitable organizations, the comedian announced Monday night.
The Texas Republican challenged Kimmel to a charity match after the comic mocked the Texas senator for tweeting a photo where Cruz “looked like a blobfish,†at the NBA’s Western Conference finals.
“So let’s settle this man-to-man: one-on-one, hoops (or ‘ring-ball,’ if you prefer). The loser gives $5k to the (non-political) charity of the winner’s choice,†Cruz tweeted late last month.
Kimmel agreed to the match Monday night on his program, sharing a brief promotional video while launching into some pre-game trash talk.
