Jimmy Kimmel commented Thursday night about his Twitter war with Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore and accepted the former judge’s invitation to visit Alabama so they could meet “man to man.” 

“Maybe that means you’re challenging me to fight ... which if you are, I accept,” Kimmel said. 

“I’ll wear a Girl Scout uniform so you have something to get excited about,” Kimmel added, referencing accusations that Moore sexually assaulted and preyed upon teenage girls when he was in his 30s. 

Earlier on Thursday, Moore tried to taunt Kimmel after a writer from the host’s late-night show heckled the former judge at a campaign event Wednesday night.

Watch Kimmel’s full response in the video above.
