The best month of the year came to its thrilling conclusion earlier this week, bringing with it the beginning of the worst month of the year. Seriously, no one likes November. Thankfully, the timing of Jimmy Kimmel's annual Halloween prank compilation allows us to step back into October for a few brief moments of respite.
Guest host and mother! star Jennifer Lawrence introduced the 2017 edition of Kimmel's I Told My Kids I Ate All Their Halloween Candy challenge, which this year garnered more entries from parents willing to lie to their children on camera than ever before. We could act like people actually want to read multiple paragraphs detailing a video they could just as easily just watch for themselves, or we could just shut up.
