This week, Jimmy Kimmel Live filmed in Austin, Texas, and the host teamed up with Willie Nelson for a musical number. As a tribute to the city, the duo sang “To Austin, I Can’t Love You More,” to close out the show. Some memorable lyrics include, “to all the Lone Star Beers I drank” and how “traffic didn’t flow” but they couldn’t “love Austin more.”
Willie Nelson and Kimmel highlight the unique people of Austin, Texas from the “bearded men” to the “freaks on 6th street” that enjoy a variety of unusual foods, including breakfast tacos to deep fried deviled eggs. Jimmy Kimmel mostly wanted to convey his gratitude for all the kindness he received while working in the beautiful city of Austin.
Many talk show hosts including Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert have also hosted their shows in Austin to inform the public of certain political and social issues that are ongoing. While most of the state of Texas has a higher population of Republican voters, Austin is very Democratic in viewpoint.
