Default Jimmy Kimmel being sued for skit

More China trouble for Jimmy Kimmel as complaint filed in court

An Edison, N.J., man is taking ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel and the network’s parent company, Disney, to court over a skit in which a 6-year-old boy suggested killing everyone in China as a solution to the U.S. debt problem.

As a result of the segment, Cao says he “suffers substantial and enduring emotional distress including, but not limited to, nervousness, anxiety and loss of sense of self-worth.” He is suing for unspecified damages.
Anyone see the skit? I'm wondering if the skit was pre-recorded and if they ever thought it would land them in this much trouble. Also crazy to me that buddy sues him because his feelings are hurt over what a 6 yr old thought.

(just watched it......still seems stupid)
