Jimmy Kimmel wants the celebrity prom proposals to stop. For years, high school boys have been formulating these elaborate “promposals” to try and convince their celebrity crush to attend their senior prom with them. Although it may sound like a sweet idea, Kimmel says it’s inappropriate and obnoxious.

During a recent episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Jimmy called out the teenagers for basically harassing celebrities, and explained to them that no woman will want to attend a high school prom. Kimmel’s monologue stemmed from a recent La La Land themed promposal to actress Emma Stone from a 17-year-old in Phoenix.

Kimmel said: “Listen, kid: Emma Stone, whether she is in London or not, doesn’t want to go to the prom with you. At all. It’s probably the last thing that she wants to do, and not because she’s in London working. She doesn’t want to go to a dance with you because she’s 28, and 28-year-old people don’t want to go on dates with 16-year-old children because it’s creepy.”

Kimmel went on to bring up a very good point about gender roles, and how it would be taken if a young girl was accompanied by an almost 30-year-old celebrity. He pointed out that it wouldn’t be acceptable, so why should it be acceptable for boys to ask the women celebrities on a date?
