Jimmy Kimmel spoke to comedian Hannibal Buress on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Wednesday night, asking how he felt to be the person to kickstart the backlash against Bill Cosby.

"It's definitely a weird situation — I get a lot of messages about it," Buress said during the episode that was filmed in Austin. "The weirdest thing about getting a death threat from a male bodybuilder-slash-stripper on Facebook is when you click on his profile and see that you have one mutual friend."

"Having to hit your friend up and saying, 'Hey man, can you tell your buddy to stop saying that he's gonna murder me?'" he continued. "I didn't really think he was gonna kill me, I just rather not take that information into my head if I have to.
