EX-GOVERNOR ROD BLAGOJEVICH TO SELL SEAT

On Thursday night’s Jimmy Kimmel Live, Jimmy asked the former Governor of Illinois to sell the seat in which he sat during his late-night talk show appearance.  Blagojevich agreed to allow Kimmel to sell his seat if the proceeds would go toward putting three unemployed people to work.  Watch clip here.

Blagojevich appeared on Kimmel to promote his memoir, The Governor.  During the interview, Blagojevich acknowledged he may have picked up some enemies over the course of his political career and questioned the motives of his accusers. “Do you think it had to do anything with your hair?” joked Kimmel.

Following the show taping, Blagojevich autographed the seat which will be available to the highest bidder on eBay at:
