But of course, [Jimmy Kimmel](http://time.com/5232706/jimmy-kimmel-apology-sean-hannity/) had to go and make it all the more hilarious. During Tuesday’s episode of _Jimmy Kimmel Live!_, the late night host aired an edited version of Zuckerberg’s hearing that included even more on-the-nose questions about Facebook than the actual proceedings did.
