Lindsey Graham, Sen. Joe Lieberman, Larry Fitzgerald and Cindy McCain, paying tribute to American war hero Sen. John McCain; Hank Azaria and Benedict Cumberbatch celebrating physicist and pop-culture icon Stephen Hawking.

"I totally agree with what Robin said," concludes Jimmy Kimmel, host of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"
