Jimmy Kimmel Challenges Audience With ‘Hipster or Hasidic’ Beard Game (VIDEO)

Wrapping up his “Back to Brooklyn week,” Jimmy Kimmel on Thursday tested the audience of his late-night talk show by having them distinguish between different bearded men.
After describing Brooklyn as “by far the most bearded spot in New York,” the Jimmy Kimmel Live! host introduced a segment called: “Hipster or Hasidic?”
This involved Kimmel showing a close-up photo of the bottom part of a man’s face, and the audience had to guess if it belonged to a hipster or a Hasidic Jew.
Some of the pictures were tricky, such as that of a Hasid wearing hipster glasses, and another of a Hasid smoking a cigarette. Kimmel joked about the latter, “He smokes salmon and cigarettes.” After one man identified himself as “kind of both,” Kimmel dubbed him “Hipsidic.”
