I think if it was just the biographical lies he'd have gotten away with it, but the federal crimes start getting to be a bit much.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

Yup, that’s exactly it. It’s getting into Nixon resignation mode, where he knew he was going to go down, so you start figuring out how to cut a deal.

He's like Richard Nixon and Abe Simpson rolled into one.

Hmm, pathological liar "says" he's off of committees, I guess we'll have to wait and see if he's turned over a new leaf and is telling the truth.

Kimmel loses any credibility (to the degree that he had any) to be a critic of politics by validating these assholes in any way. Putting them on the air to interview them, even in a mocking way, does normalize them.

Agreed it provides legitimacy that he doesn't deserve. No doubt some people watched that and soon found themselves descending into a rabbit hole of conspiratorial nonsense and came out as believers. It like a version of that asshole messing up Trump's hair on his talk show. The host got played.

Lindell knew he was going to be laughed at but didn't care. The point is staying in the conversation. If you've got a forum, you're in the game. But that's the profit motive at work. Kimmel et al don't give a fuck about validating these people, only the ratings.

Yeah, making these shitheads seem harmless and funny is not a great thing. They know the value of appearing on a platform and being enticing to a few deranged weirdos and come off as harmless to everyone else.
