- Jimmy turned 50 recently so Katie Couric asked if she could accompany him for his first colonoscopy. While that seemed to be a very unusual request Jimmy knows that this is something Katie is passionate about and it’s an important thing to do when you’re of a certain age. So with that said, let’s watch a camera go where no camera has gone before. #StandUpToCancer

Best meal of your life after
My father passed away from colon cancer, I’m so appreciative of Jimmy for doing this and raising awareness
Sorry for your loss. I lost my 46 year old brother in January. It took him so fast 😢
😂
Sorry for your loss.
It's not the procedure that sucks. It's the prep.
Woody line!!!😅
@Rage Theatre2020 How did it go?
@Rage Theatre2020 o wow thanks for the update! im a bit worried because mines this Friday but im doing both endo and colon. but i have a cold and cough that is not going away..sigh. dont wanna postpone tho too.
so yeah i dont wanna be awake at all or atleast be able to get all the drugs to work as it should. sorry yours didnt take = (
The procedure sucks only when they pump the air up your as* : (
Amen to that Sir!
When Jimmy started to fall asleep they should have had the doctor drop their mask and it was Matt Damon smiling.
Hahahahaha YES!!!!
that would have been so funny
They should have showed Matt damon chilling in there...

No one wants to see that NO talent Hack.
Omg yes
Damon should have walked in with the doctor scrubs on...
Yes Matt should of been the Dr lol
I remember when Katie's husband died back in the late 90s. He was 42 years old. She was 41 & with two little girls. I had a Colonoscopy at 48 because of problems I was having w/ my bowels. Glad I did! Two pre-cancerous growths were found & removed. Now I will be getting a Colonoscopy every two years. It's not fun, but neither is cancer.
not it's not.. watched my husband die from it.
Dee Dee why did you have to mention her husband. You are so insensitive. Just say she was the reason you got a colonoscopy and you are grateful. Nobody gives a damn about your bowel movements. You are trash. I’m sure she is well aware and we know her husband was 42.
@@thezmanchar Chill mate. Sometimes the particulars of the story are important to get the masses stirred up. I for one , see the point of her work after this.
Good for you DeeDee I'm glad to hear they were able to catch it early! Hope they do not come back and you live a long healthy life :)
I didn't know her husband died that way. Makes it all make sense now. Thanks.
who the f honks at 530am in a residential area?
people with jobs?
Comrades across the Cosmos I live in Detroit 35 years it’s a pain in the butt
Bee Bee Schipisch i have never heard of a job that requires you to be up by 5:30. what a shitty way to live.
Sound effect added later. You didn't think the jackhammer noise on Jimmy's colon was real did you?
in uk you might get a fine last time i was in nyc heard it all the time they just love there horn

Doctor: How was the sleep?
Jimmy: GErD, ThENk YEoU
As a recent colon cancer survivor, I'd like to thank Mr. Kimmel and Ms. Couric for this segment. One year ago, unbeknownst to me at the time, I had a huge cancerous tumor in my descending colon. In late April 2017, the tumor completely blocked my bowel, necessitating a trip to the ER, where a CT scan showed the nasty thing. The docs couldn't ethically call it cancer without a biopsy, but this looked like a duck and quacked like duck, so... An extremely skilled endoscopist was able to put in a stent and return function. The tumor was removed in May, along with about a foot (30cm) of colon (I now have a semicolon, and yes, everyone makes that joke) and it was found to be a Stage IIIB (T4a, N1b, M0) adenocarcinoma. In late June I started chemo. In mid July, on my 50th birthday, I was hospitalized for an extreme reaction to the chemo (I changed chemo and that went better). I never got to have my "50th Birthday Present" colonoscopy, as my cancer showed up a few months too early. I wish the recommended age for screening was 45, as my cancer might not have been bad enough then to require chemo. A tumor as large as mine probably took 6-10 years to get that size, so something would have been found 5 years ago. Chemo is done, my first post-chemo CT scan is clear, and I finally got a proper colonoscopy this past February, which was also clear, which makes me "No Evidence of Disease" now, but not "cancer free" for 3 years of clear CT scans. As a cancer patient, I get to enjoy another colonoscopy (and I was awake for mine, and got to watch it all live on TV!) in 3 years, then every 5 years after that. CT scans will be much more regular, but those are easy. Really, the colonoscopy is nothing compared to cancer, and I'm very happy mine wasn't stage IV. I've convinced several friends and coworkers to get their colonoscopies, and, fortunately, none have had cancer. Trust me, get the camera shoved up there, it's much, much, much less grief than the alternative!
Drew, I'm wishing you a path to good health. From one Cancer Thrivor to another!
Thanks for sharing your story Drew, I´m sure it will convince some additional people in the comments to get screened! Your doctors have probably told you, but just in case you should get a gene-test done to see if you have any genetic markers of increased risk of colorectal cancer as that is quite common in early presentations like yours. Its can be valuable information as other members in your family like siblings or children might want to get the same test to see if they might be at risk (it they so wish) :)
Thanks for sharing Drew! Hope all is well!!
Thanks for sharing your story and I hope you remain cancer free. Your experience is exactly why I'm glad I had a colonoscopy, which just happened to be at 50 by accident. I was in the hospital for a pulmonary embolism and told the doc that I have blood with every bowel movement so they sent me for a sigmoidoscopy and found an adenoma polyp which they later took out with a colonoscopy. Now I've got to get them every 3 years since I'm at higher risk for precancerous polyps. The preparation is awful but I'm glad I'm getting screened regularly.
Thanks for this story. I'm 49 and just had my first colonoscopy. You'll be happy to know, the new recommended age is 45 for everyone.
I also think Katie really likes Jimmy as a son and hates to see something bad happening to him like what it did to her husband. So sweet of Katie.
theabstrakt84 what happened to her husband?
Sarah Lukowski he died of colon cancer in the late 90s, he was only 42
What? Oh! Wow!
Wow! you read a lot into stuff.

I had to fight the Kaiser system for three years to get my colonoscopy. The doctor said I didn't need one. I was 54. I kept switching doctors until I got one three years later. There were precancerous growths. Advocate for yourself.
Kaiser is the worst. They are referred to as Killer Kaiser
@@kmrnnj1I came here just to say Kaiser is the worst. After many years it took switching to a new insurance to get my colonoscopy and endoscopy…having them in 4 days.
wwwwaaaaiitt Jimmy's 50! He looks just like 35!!!
I thought he was in his 40s!!
Ikr
Me too!
I thought he was 15!!!
and his colon looks like a newborn!!!
I was 39 when I had mine done and they found a polyp. I have a family history of colon cancer... I would say if you do have a history of colon cancer, get yourself checked. It’s not as bad as you think! I have another check next year... fingers crossed 🤞
Donna Kerr, its gonna be fine, dont worry
Same here, had my first at age 25. And it's like they said, worst part is the preparation. Best part for me is the nice shot of propofol I get.. good stuff! :)
Had mine at 29 and they only found hemorrhoids. I questioned my doctor on why having one at a young age. You'll be fine good luck.
37 when I had mine. I was apprehensive beforehand but, in hindsight, the worst part was the drink - both trying to drink it all and trying to get rid of it all. The procedure itself was the easiest operation I've had.
Yeaahh.... You're woman, it may be great experience for you.
This is funny. A good way to get the message out there. My father was diagnosed with colon cancer at 45 and died 5 years later. Get screened. It’s seriously such a devastating thing to go through.
imasharky thought you suppose to get them when your 50
@@PhantomKnight37 the American Cancer Society recently updated their recommendation to begin screening at age 45. Colon cancer is becoming increasingly common in younger people. For some people (myself included), genetic risk means screening should start much earlier. It's not fun, but it's much better than cancer! It's a good idea to at least talk to your doctor if you're approaching 45 and/or have a family history.
What if you cant afford it.
@@Tricia13101 will they pay for the screening if you dont have insurance
@@joselusarreta6139 I don't think so. I would contact a local hospital or Gastroenterology office to ask if they have any assistance programs. There's also Colo-guard, which also screens for colon cancer. It's less reliable, but probably much cheaper and better than no screening at all.
Thank you Jimmy!!! Just got diagnosed with colon cancer and was looking for you tube videos on the subject. This was made me laugh but also encouraged people to get their screening!!!
In all seriousness, this wasn't as bad as I imagined. Turned on your side, sedated, covered in blankets. I always imagined being in an awkward position. When my time comes I'm definitely going to get a colonoscopy. Thanks Jimmy for sacrificing your rear end!
Alex & Erika i've done it twice already, very easy and fast procedure.
here in central europe, with healthy patients, most doctors will just go with mild sedatives, not a fullblown anesthesia.
Yea it wasn’t bad. But, here in Japan they’re just giving you nothing! You are WIDE AWAKE during this procedure and I’ve done this once and the pain is really weird from the inside, kinda a little awkward pain coz I really felt the camera tube inside my intestines! I hate the feeling of it it gives me trauma lol
Ryle
mild sedative = wide awake also :) the pain comes from the pumped air.
I know. But here, they don’t give you anything to sedate you while doing this procedure. I was all in my normal self while the nurse holding my body so I won’t move on the delicate part of the intestine to see if there’s anything in there. It’s really creepy and scary feeling for me.
Jimmy took it like a champ🏆!! I'm 32yrs and had a colonoscopy done last year, found colon cancer and now treating it, no one should be scared to get checked. It will save your life ❤🙈
I am scheduled this July and I am super anxious. Thanks Jimmy for sharing your experience. This gives me a sigh of relief.
I love Katie, doing great work convincing adults to get a very uncomfortable sounding procedure. I appreciate her helping all of us realize it's not as bad as it seems.
This was actually very sweet to watch. It was lovely to see them together. Im glad they are bringing awareness to something so important.
As a UK citizen, had one done at no direct cost to me. Farted like a trooper afterwards. No real discomfort at all.
Ok
I made like a 3 minutes lasting fart after.... uh...
The farts are the best part 😂
I'm 34 but I had a colonoscopy last year because of a family history and because my mom had it when she was young. First off, I'm in the clear. Second off, it wasn't remotely as bad as people online made it out to be. I've heard different prep methods are easier to handle than others, but my experience was really not that bad. The relief of knowing that I'm in the clear makes it all worth it... and if they actually found something, it would be even more worth it. Don't delay. Go get checked out if you're off age or have a family history.
There needs to be more mini docu-videos like this. It takes away fear, assumptions, stigmas and can literally save a viewers life. Thanks Jimmy and Katie!
I didn't think that something like this could bring tears to my eyes. I love Jimmy and Katie so much for bringing awareness about this to people.
The fact that jimmy did this and publicized it, is going to help SO MANY men and women. Thank you jimmy for doing this, this definitely goes down as one of the coolest and greatest things you’ve ever used your platform for.
Go Jimmy! I"m 50 and I've already had 3 colonoscopies. My grandmother and 2 uncles had colon cancer. My father passed away 6 years ago this month from colon cancer. My mother-in-law even had and beat it. It's a very common cancer that can be detected early if you follow guidelines on being screened regularly. I applaud you doing this on TV to show your audience that it isn't that bad. I think the worst part is drinking that nasty prep liquid and then having to hang out in the bathroom for a while. Like Katie said, it's a lot better than being diagnosed with colon cancer! Great job!!! 😉
So great that Jimmy and Katie are bringing awareness to such an important cause!!
I had my first colonoscopy at age 22. I have chronic ulcerative colitis. I was passing nothing except blood.
At that time, the procedure was relatively new, so they started with the tried and true barium enema.
You haven't lived until you've had the barium enema. Compared to that, the colonoscopy is a picnic in the park.
No polyps, no cancer. Just a long ulcer on my descending colon.
I learned to cope. I discovered, over time, that for me, there are three primary triggers: overeating, overheating and dehydration.
I also have some food sensitivities. Wheat, corn and dairy can all produce various symptoms, so I consume them occasionally and in moderation.
Bread is generally okay, but not so pasta. High fructose corn syrup creates inflammation, so there goes soda pop. And a glass of milk or bowl of cereal is strictly off limits. Also, ice cream is in my past. A bit of cheese and butter is okay, though.
I don't go to all you can eat buffets.
There are advantages. As I can't overeat, I maintain a healthy weight. I work outdoors in Florida, so avoiding overheating and dehydration becomes a bit of an issue. I have learned to cope. I pay attention to my body to avoid problems.
I still have an attack from time to time, however, I haven't had an ulcer in years.
There are hundreds of thousands of us coping with this condition, and it's different for everyone.
Please, get the colonoscopy. My mother didn't, and the lack of this simple, yet uncomfortable procedure contributed to demise. She developed diverticulitis, which caused her navel to abscess. She had to have her colon rescetioned and her navel removed. For the lack of one simple test, her life was shortened by years.
A couple of days of discomfort and a bit of embarrassment is a small price to pay for years more of life.:)
Jason Bean. Been there with the barium enima totaly agree.
Jason Bean doing one in 2 days since I most likely have ibd. Barely 18
TMI
Thanks for sharing. I’m going through some stomach issues too and need one also...I have it in 2 days...😬😕😟
I am 27 and had this procedure done. Turns out I have pouches on my sigmoid section. When I had diverticulitis attack I couldnt pass anything gas neither. I was overweight and carbs and meat were my main foods. This diagnosis changed my life for the better. I get mild attacks from time to time but nothing serious. I eat lots of fruits, veges and nuts. And I avoid diary if I can. I lost 36lbs. I feel great now. Thanks for sharing your story.
Talk about perfect timing I'm getting mine done on Wednesday and I was a little nervous now not so much thanks Jimmy. 😁
It's really great what you did to encourage people to get screened. Good for Couric for doing this, it is so important!
This one is really important. U r brave to share
This is great. I remember when Katie had hers done on live TV. RIP to her husband.
Katie couric u made this clip more interested
By the way u so nice to everyone thanks and thanks again
Jimmy long life buddy
Jimmy wakes up & alert, puts on a great face, & so professional. Thank You Katie Curic for bringing awareness to this very important topic. & Thank You Jimmy for allowing the cameras in...... that was personal & brave to share.

That was a very admirable bit. Thank you, Katie!
I'm scheduled for my procedure this afternoon. I found this video helpful. I'll check back when it's over.
This actually really helped, I’ve got my first colonoscopy in the morning and am so nervous!
Rebekah J i hope your colonoscopy went well rebekah!
I Love you Jimmy , so glad your okay ! Thank you for all the laughter . LOVE , PEACE ,JOY ,AND HAPPINESS JIMMY 🍍💛🧡💜❤💚💙
That's a beautiful colon, Jimmy!! I think it's pretty great that Jimmy and Katie did this together as a "public service message". People love to freak out about colonoscopies and get into what they perceive is the grossness, but colon cancer is one of the most preventable/treatable cancers (when diagnosed early). I'm kind of an evangelist for colonoscopies, having had my first one several years ago at 55. In the grand scheme of things it's really not that bad at all, people!
The bowel prep is KEY: there are MANY different "recipes" (every gastroenterologist has a preference for the one they feel does the best cleansing), but most are not hard to tolerate and only slightly unpleasant. The best thing to do is to follow the instructions your doctor gives you for the prep; don't freestyle it!! That will greatly reduce the chance that you'll have "inadequate bowel cleansing", which means they couldn't clearly see everything they need to and will want to repeat it. (I used to work for an academic gastroenterologist, and occasionally "inadequate bowel cleansing" would be on the colonscopy report, which basically meant it was all for naught). The procedure itself is sort of "meh", since you'll only be aware of things at the very beginning, when they administer the sedation, and after it's done, when you're in recovery. Conscious sedation is a beautiful thing!! Honestly, the most unpleasant aspect of a colonoscopy is the bloating you have afterwards, 'cause they generally have to pump up the colon a bit with CO2 to get good visualization. My reaction when I was finished and in recovery was "What?? I missed it?!!" Pretty funny...
I loved everything about my colonoscopy. The prep made me feel so clean inside and after the procedure I woke up giggling from the anesthetic! Then they offered me a cup of tea and a sandwich and cookie! Lovely. Everyone should have one and no one should be afraid of having one.
Can’t wait for Jimmy Kimmels prostate exam video.
Thank you for this video. It helps as mental prep!!
Very informative. Thank you guys!
Actually, you have to drink a gallon of the clear liquid stuff to make you clean....that is the worst part of it. The actual procedure was actual pretty easy. The preparation for it was difficult to swallow. I would recommend to have your colonoscopy procedure in the morning because this way you can eat right after. The colonoscopy itself was pretty easy. No pain people!!! Go get it done it is a life saving procedure. If you are 50+ you need this done.
Tony Stark
How would describe the taste/consistency?
Roland Wartenberg
I want to go to your Doctor. I had to drink 64 oz of Gatorade mixed with 8 oz of Miralax. Oh don’t forget the Dulcolax. The taste was horrendous.
Jimmy likely got "Suprep," which is taken the night before, followed by a liter/quart of water, and then again the next morning. More common is "GoLYTELY" (or, "GoHeavily" as I call, it, having had it 3 times), which is the gallon/3.8l stuff you drink all the night before, taking 16 oz every 10 minutes. The taste isn't great, but you can put in sugar free lemonade mix to make it easier to tolerate (just nothing with red coloring!) It can start working within 20 minutes, but most people wait an hour, so I doubt that was the real stuff in the clip, as Jimmy could have had a very unpleasant trip home.
Tony Stark what did Jimmy drink anyways?
+Lev Low OMG it's bitter AF...I've drank one that was "lemon" flavored but it was so NASTY!!! The stuff makes you literally poop all night too...UGH...hated every minute of it. But the procedure itself is easy and quick :)
3:00
Jimmy - Oh it’s not sexual, then what am I doing here....
Your lucky to have a friend that cares that much and that she would go with you. I'm happy for your good health. I just had mine and it's not really that bad.
Thanks, Mr. Kimmel, for sharing !!!
lmao the doctor's face: "I actually have other patients to see."
This is a great message to show people. I just had a colonoscopy 3 days ago still feeling some discomfort in my abdomen but hopefully it works it self out and I just turned 34. As a nurse I suggest for people to get it down as early as possible especially if colon cancer runs in the family. I am see more and more younger people in their 30 and 40s diagnoses with colon cancer.
congrats Jimmy. Glad you're ok. You're brave.
Glad he's creating awareness!
I remember when Katie's husband passed away. It's amazing she is still raising awareness. She had little kids. He was so young.
This episode is great!! I loved how you allowed the cameras in (no pun intended LOL) to educate others on the importance of colon cancer screenings!! And yes!! Great bowel prep!!! LOL!!
I will be having my first so this is a good prep video. Thanks Jimmy and Katie!
Good for you Jimmy! That takes a brave person!
Matt Damon called he said it couldn’t happen to a nicer person.
Tf he's 50? I would of thought he was in his 30s
Bigshows93 LOL you must be under 16
no u didnt
Bigshows93 yea wtf he just had a kid.
Tony H he does look to be around his mid to late 30s tho lol
I’d say 40s lol do you see the white In his beard
This is excellent!!!!!! Thank you Jimmy and Katie!!!!!!
This is amazing!!! Everyone should get screen.. This test should be passed way before 50.. Especially since everything we eat is transformed... you are awsome thanks for sharing..
dang he took ''Chug'' to a whole other level i didn't think possible
I have one coming up and I'm happy that they did this it really Eased my tensions
Great post! Kudos!
Thank you for raising awareness against this type of cancer. My husband is 34 he battled colon cancer for 2 years thank god we were fortunate and he beat it. Others aren't so lucky that's why I stress if you notice something isn't right press on and makes those doctors listen.
2:35 that dress 👗 is beautiful 👍
Wow awesome 50!!
Thank you Jimmie and Katie for raising awareness.
Jimmy & Katie (Thanks!!!!!) I had mine done 4 the 1st time Friday the 13th, 2020. I scheduled on Friday the 13th (on purpose) because of my sense of humor. I wore "all black" that day. I'm a 53 year old Black male. I was in a 1970's "HapPy Place" when they put me "under" Everything was fine. I'll not have to go back for 5 years. The roughest part was drinking the solution and staying on the "throne" LOL!!! Another fun side note *since we have to wear masks, when mine came down I sport a huge moustache that I used to wear handlebar style. One of the surgeons said "Wow! Look at that moustache!" and called a another surgeon over to see it.
This is an amazing idea for a public health campaign!! Thank you!
I've had this done to check for Celiac's Disease and I had an ulcer once they found...it's not that bad actually! The doctors I've had are usually pretty nice and one even said to me before "Sweet dreams" before putting me out. Haha, the sedation is actually quite nice lol. But yeah, get screened guys! It's so important!
The way that MD maneuvered that thing around....... one must think she was looking for nuggets (gold nuggets of course )😂 👍
Congratulations Jimmy Kimmel on turning 50! Yes I know that was over a year ago but I just found out so happy birthday!
" Colon cancer is the 2nd cancer killer for men and women. " Be save, guys. Much love to Jimmy and all of you.
He looks good for his age.
Loved this
Thank you for bringing a very real and silent killer of many many people to light, granted that you made a comic piece of your procedure you still increased the awareness of this silent killer!!! Thank you soo much!!!

Ms Kuric my adult children and I still lol at Shark Tales & other cartoon movie scenes.
Thanks for keeping it current. Heaven bless you queen K 💜💋✨
So proud of you Jimmy!! 😂
pearlexi why would you be proud of some man doing a normal and simple exam??? Millions of peoe do it. Are you proud for all of them?
"you're going to feel relieved" I thought part of the preparation process was spending half the night on the toilet relieving yourself?
I feel so proud of Jimmy and so grateful to God that will allow us to have Jimmy for a long time! We need more people like him in this country... in this world! God bless! Jimmy, Dios te permita vivir otros 50 años!
this video is one of the my fav vids all time ıı love you jimmy !!!!
The bowel prep is definitely the worst part. But Ladies, make sure you do not use the bathroom just before they check you in, because you will have to pee in a cup to prove you are not pregnant before they will do the procedure. They didn't tell me that until AFTER I used the bathroom next to the waiting room, so I had to wait for another 45 minutes before I could produce a sample for them - threw off all our schedules.
I had a malignant colon polyp at the age of 24 and a colon resection. It hadn't spread so I was lucky (It runs high in my family). That was almost 27 years ago and many colonoscopies later (one yesterday), she found six polyps but said they all looked good, so still cancer free. It saved my life and is definitely worth it!
Get mine done tomorrow. This will be my 4th one and i'm use to the prep.
What a great friend
It actually didn't look bad at all. When I am 50 I will make sure to get mine. Seriously! Thanks Jimmy and Katie!
Probably the best thing that I have seen since the man show !
As part of the Cedars-Sinai family, this makes me very happy 😊
Aaaaaw Katie...!!! 1:50 🤣🤣🤣 Honking your horn that loud..!! 😆😆😆
jimmy is such a daddy
I’m 19 years old and I’ve already had 2 colonoscopies so far because I have Crohn’s disease.
My brother passed at age 40 of colon cancer just fifteen days ago. He was 35 when he was diagnosed with stage IV cancer; at that point it is treatable but not curable. We have no family history of this cancer. PLEASE get a colonoscopy if you have chronic GI issues, no matter your age. Thank you so much to Jimmy and Katie for bringing attention to colorectal cancer. Early detection is critical.
Thank you!
He looks like he’s in his mid 30s I need the water Jimmy’s drinking
I was absolutely petrified when I got my first colonoscopy, but it's really not that bad at all. A little tiny bit of pain in my stomach as the tube was going in but like 1/10 on the pain scale.
The only bad part about it was drinking the solution and the not eating. The prep was the only mildly annoying part, the procedure itself was absolutely nothing.
the prep was quite traumatizing for me :O
Nicole - Yes, I chose minimal sedation and was fully lucid the entire time. It’s not a big deal.
I'm glad he made good humor out of this procedure as I was dreading to have it done. I now feel much better about moving forward!
It's not bad at all. The worst thing is the prep. It could save your life.
Great job!
