Jimmy Kimmel (watch below) quipped on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”: “Apparently the reason they’re getting divorced is she talked about ‘Fight Club’ and he specifically asked her not to do that.” The host also took a jab at the public to maintain perspective: “It’s always hard when two people you don’t know and have no personal connection to split up,” he said.
“Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon (watch below in the same clip) said, “It’s pretty scary when even Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are like, ‘Eh, we can do better.’”
Conan O’Brien chimed in as well, saying that the two mega-stars will “share custody 50-50. He’ll take 50 kids, and she’ll take the other 50.”
