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 number two was scheduled for this evening but instead we got two dueling town halls—Joe Biden on ABC, Donald Trump on NBC,” explained Kimmel on his late-night show. “NBC pulled a very sneaky move. After […]

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 host explained. “So because there was no debate, Biden agreed to do a town hall on ABC that night.” Then came the announcement that Trump would also be doing a town hall on NBC at […]
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 disease and both failed spectacularly at what they were hired to do.” Kimmel began by taking on the “contaminator-in-chief’s” first big “maskless” rally in Florida since contracting the coronavirus just a couple of weeks ago. […]
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, where he’ll be hospitalized for the next several days. “Just when you thought 2020 couldn’t get any 2020ier…” offered Kimmel at the top of his show, adding, “He’s high-risk because of his age and his […]
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 earlier in the day if he believes “justice was served” in the Breonna Taylor case and to offer a “message to the Black community, who believe that perhaps justice was not served by the decision […]
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, you can’t vote,” he told viewers. “And if you don’t vote, you won’t get a sticker. And also, there’s a psychotic individual in the White House who could use some removing right now.” “It’s hard […]

Jennifer Aniston had to use a fire extinguisher during this year’s Emmy Awards: the fire happened when the actress came to the stage in-person to present the award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. Before the winner was announced, ceremony host Jimmy Kimmel set the winner’s envelope on fire, saying it will burn off all the “bacteria”, thus […]
Since the killing of George Floyd on 25 May, an anti-racism movement has occurred worldwide and many companies and individuals are facing up to racist actions in the past. Jimmy Kimmel’s apology is one of many and comes as the entertainment industry confronts its offensive depictions of black characters. Late night tv host Jimmy Kimmel has apologised after receiving complaints over his use of blackface makeup while impersonating black celebrities such as basketball player Karl Malone, Oprah Winfrey and Snoop Dogg in past sketches. The 52-year-old television host issued a statement on Tuesday saying, “I have long been reluctant to address […]
Megan Fox has addressed a recently resurfaced interview clip from 2009, which has sparked widespread calls for apologies from Michael Bay, Jimmy Kimmel, and the broader entertainment industry for its treatment of the actress and her career. During an appearance on Kimmel, Fox described her experience as an extra on the set of Michael Bay’s Bad Boys II when she was 15 years old. She said that when Bay realized she couldn’t be seated at the bar or appear to be drinking alcohol due to her age, “His solution to that problem was to then have me dancing underneath the waterfall […]
Jimmy Kimmel has become incredibly annoying in recent years. He spends more time working out his Trump Derangement Syndrome than trying to be entertaining. Now he has a serious problem on his hands. FOX News explains why: TRENDING: “Tear Them Down”: Race Activist Shaun King Calls for Removal of All Statues, Murals and Stained Glass Windows of “White Jesus and his European Mother” Jimmy Kimmel used ‘N-word’ in imitation Snoop song in 1996, impersonated comic George Wallace in 2013: audio EXCLUSIVE: Jimmy Kimmel, who urged actor Tom Arnold to release an alleged “N-word” tape of President Trump in 2018, admitted years […]
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 of the side effects of the hydroxy?” Kimmel joked. “What is up with his hand? Did he hurt it holding the Bible upside down? Let’s look at that again because there’s clearly something going on. […]
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 from his house. “And I get that. And I don’t disagree with that. But I’m the only one here and it’s a talk show.” So he decided to share some of what he has been […]
“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 was far more concerned with the substance of Trump’s tweets claiming mail-in voting will lead to widespread fraud. “This new kick he’s on, this trying to stop voting by mail, is actually very scary,” Kimmel […]
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 Kayleigh McEnany didn’t find that joke very funny. “Have you been watching the Hydroxy Horror Picture Show?” Kimmel asked Wednesday night. “The president this week claimed he has been taking hydroxychloroquine to stave off the […]
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 named Fred Willard.” The host told viewers that as a kid growing up in Las Vegas, one of his favorite shows was Fernwood 2 Night, in which Willard played “oblivious second banana” to his longtime […]
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, who said he was doing “pretty well” but going through a “funny moment” right now. “I’m drawing my tub now, and I’m having a little difficulty because getting the right temperature is always a problem […]
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 Dr. Anthony Fauci is warning that re-reopening the country too soon could lead to “needless suffering and death.” “So I guess it just comes down to who you believe: the doctor who is one of […]
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 some empty boxes in the back of the van,” Kimmel explained. It turns out Pence was “joking” when he asked if he could just carry the empty boxes for the photo op. “How anyone can […]
Jimmy Kimmel, host of ABC’s late night show Jimmy Kimmel Live, issued a half-hearted apology to Vice President Mike Pence Friday for airing deceptively edited video on Thursday night’s show that made it appear Pence was delivering empty boxes of coronavirus supplies to a nursing home. Kimmel called Pence “a big box of nothing, delivering another box of nothing.” Pence delvered FEMA PPE supplies to the Woodbine Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center in Alexandria, Virginia on Thursday. A liberal activist reposted the video which has over 5 million views as of this report. Mike Pence caught on hot mic delivering empty boxes […]
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 PPE from FEMA to the front of the facility. “Here he is, with no mask on, wheeling boxes of PPEs into a health-care center, and doing his best to lift them,” Kimmel said, narrating over […]
