On Thursday night, Jimmy Kimmel escalated his feud with NBC over their questionable decision to give in to President Trump’s demands and air a town hall with him at the same time as Joe Biden’s over on ABC. Given that Trump’s interview would also air on MSNBC and CNBC, the ratings-obsessed commander-in-chief would surely garner bigger ratings and also siphon viewers from his opponent. “Presidential debate […]

During his late-night monologue on ABC Wednesday night, Jimmy Kimmel waded into the brewing controversy over dueling town hall events happening Thursday on both his network and NBC. “You know, there was supposed to be a debate tomorrow night, but since Trump would not agree to the virtual format that they wanted to have because he tested positive for the coronavirus, he backed out altogether,” the […]
As the only major late-night host to air a new show Monday night, Jimmy Kimmel had one of the more laughable Trump stories in recent memory all to himself. Noting that today is both Indigenous Peoples’ Day and Columbus Day, the host said, “Our president, though, is a big supporter of Columbus Day. He and Christopher Columbus actually have a lot in common. They both spread […]
On Friday night, Jimmy Kimmel was one of the few late-night hosts on to address the total chaos that’s transpired in the last 24 hours—wherein the president, the first lady, several of their advisers, a number of Republican senators, a trio of White House journalists, and Kellyanne Conway all came down with COVID-19. President Trump is currently at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center under observation, […]
Late in his monologue Wednesday night, Jimmy Kimmel brought up the bare minimum charges that were filed against the police officers who killed Breonna Taylor. “Many are upset. There are protests in Louisville and elsewhere as well,” the host said. “So the president, as he is known to do, took a moment to offer words of healing and unity and condolences to the Taylor family.” Asked […]
After taking the summer off and hosting the virtual Emmy Awards on Sunday, Jimmy Kimmel is back in his Hollywood theater this week. And the late-night host has a theory about why the Republican Party is so eager to replace Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg before the 2020 election. Kimmel began his monologue on Tuesday by recognizing National Voter Registration Day. “If you don’t register, […]
Earlier this week, President Donald Trump demanded an apology from Bubba Wallace for supposedly perpetrating what he falsely labeled a hate-crime “hoax” after what looked a lot like a noose was found in the Black NASCAR driver’s garage stall. Wallace responded on social media with a message of positivity and love, but he had a bit more to say when he appeared as a guest on […]
Jimmy Kimmel spent the bulk of his monologue Monday night on the “historic” speech President Trump delivered to cadets at West Point over the weekend. “No president in the history of this country has ever taken a weirder drink of water than this,” the host said before showing viewers the clip of Trump using two hands to lift the glass to his mouth. “Is that one […]
Jimmy Kimmel opened his monologue with some expected jokes about President Trump’s tear-gas-fueled photo-op Tuesday night. But things really got interesting when he shifted gears and looked at himself. “Over the past week, I’ve been hearing and reading very thoughtful posts and words from very smart people, some of whom say white people shouldn’t be talking now, they should be listening,” the late-night host told viewers […]
“This is what our penny-colored president is up to,” offered Jimmy Kimmel on Thursday night. “While racial injustice is tearing our country apart, he’s going to war with Twitter.” Indeed, instead of calming the nation in the wake of the death of George Floyd—an unarmed black man suspected of committing the high crime of allegedly trying to pay for groceries with a counterfeit bill—by Minneapolis police […]
“It’s been an all-caps kind of week for our dear misleader,” Jimmy Kimmel said in his monologue Wednesday night. He was referring to President Donald Trump’s ongoing freakout over Twitter’s unprecedented move to label just two of his tweets “potentially misleading.” Kimmel joked, “I guess it was only a matter of time before Donald Trump would be in a Twitter feud with Twitter.” The late-night host […]
Earlier this week, Jimmy Kimmel shared a hypothesis with viewers about why President Donald Trump would take an unproven drug to prevent the coronavirus but refused to wear a mask. “I thought about it for a long time last night and I’ve come to what I think is the only reasonable conclusion,” the late-night host said. “He’s trying to kill himself.” Apparently White House Press Secretary […]
Few people made Jimmy Kimmel laugh harder than Fred Willard. So on Monday night, the late-night host dedicated his entire show to the legendary comedic actor, who died over the weekend at 86. “Tonight’s show will be a special show,” he began. “It will be a sad show. But we will also laugh a lot as we pay tribute to a lovely and genuinely funny man […]
Bill Murray is an all-time great late-night talk show guest. He might be even better from home. On Wednesday, the comedy legend joined Jimmy Kimmel from the bathtub at his house in Charleston, South Carolina. The host was delighted from the jump. “If there’s anyone who can shake us out of this pandemic doldrum, it is my guest tonight,” Kimmel said before revealing a fully-clothed Murray, […]
One night after taking down the haters who threatened his family over a misleading Mike Pence joke, Jimmy Kimmel was back at it Tuesday night. And he didn’t miss a beat when it came to hammering the Trump administration for its continued failures around the COVID-19 crisis. As the late-night host pointed out, President Trump is declaring that America has “prevailed” on the very same day […]
Last week, Jimmy Kimmel apologized for airing a deceptive clip that appeared to show Vice President Mike Pence delivering empty boxes to a nursing home. The vice president’s office apparently demanded an “on-air” apology as well. They got a lot more than that Monday night. “The trouble started because at one point in the video, after awkwardly lugging heavy boxes to the door, Mike Pence finds […]
ABC late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel on Friday half-heartedly apologized for a deceptively edited clip of Vice President Mike Pence supposedly admitting to carrying empty boxes of personal protective equipment to a nursing home in Virginia as part of a publicity stunt. During his Thursday night broadcast, Kimmel mocked the vice president over the press event which showed a maskless Pence helping other workers deliver […]
