Jimmy Kimmel Brings 'Lie Witness News' To SXSW, Proves Once Again Cool Kids Are Gullible

She Has No Idea What She's Talking About

Senior Comedy & Viral Editor, The Huffington Post

Jimmy Kimmel wouldn't host his show from the biggest music festival ever without bringing along his "Lie Witness News" team.

Watch above to see Kimmel's team talk to SXSW festival attendees in Austin, Texas about this year's "breakout" acts, including "Contact Dermatitis," "Willie Nelson Mandela," and female DJ "Heavy Flow" and her album, "The Toxic Shock Experience."

Turns out, every one of these artists has "a good sound," "a great following" and is "very versatile," despite the fact that they don't exist.
