Ken Bone Continues to Steal the Spotlight on Jimmy Kimmel Live

Hear the hilarious story behind his iconic red sweater

Only one person truly won the second presidential debate: Ken Bone, the undecided voter whose red sweater made him an instant star on Sunday.

Bone appeared on Monday's Jimmy Kimmel Live wearing the same outfit he wore at the debate -- a look he credits his wife for styling. "I would love to say that I was born this way," Bone said. "The short answer is that my wife dresses me, like all great Americans."

As it happens, the red sweater wasn't even Bone's top pick to wear to the debate. He initially wanted to wear his favorite olive-colored suit that his grandfather helped him pick out, but some unexpected issues forced a last-minute outfit change.

The presidential debate was basically the worst Real Housewives reunion

"I thought, 'Wow, grandpa would be so proud if I wore this suit.' But apparently I have gotten somewhat more fat since then, and when I got into my car, I split the seat out of my pants and destroyed my olive suit and I had to do an emergency wardrobe change," Bone recalled.
