Jimmy Kimmel Claps Back at Trump
Jimmy Kimmel Returns to ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ and Claps Back at Trump
Los Angeles – Jimmy Kimmel made a triumphant return to Jimmy Kimmel Live on Wednesday, following a six-day suspension by Disney-owned ABC. The suspension came after the Emmy-winning host made controversial remarks about conservative influencer Charlie Kirk.
In his opening monologue, Kimmel reflected on the show’s hiatus, saying, “You know, a lot of people watched our show last night. I got so many texts from so many people. It made me realize how many of my friends are never watching the show at any other time.” He added with a wink, “Tomorrow, I’ll hear from no one.”
Kimmel then turned his attention to former President Donald Trump, responding to the social media posts Trump made about Kimmel’s return. “I did hear from one very special friend, moments after we taped our show last night,” Kimmel said. “The mad red hatter wrote, ‘I can’t believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back.’” Kimmel replied with a smirk, “You can’t believe they gave me my job back? I can’t believe they gave you your job back! We’re even.”
He continued, reading more of Trump’s posts: “‘The White House was told by ABC that his show was cancelled!’ No, they weren’t,” Kimmel quipped. “‘Something happened between then and now because his audience is GONE and his ‘talent’ was never there.’”
Highlighting the former president’s tone, Kimmel added, “‘I think we’re going to test ABC out on this. Let’s see how we do. Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 million. This one sounds even more lucrative. A true bunch of losers!’ Only Donald Trump would try to prove he wasn’t threatening ABC by threatening ABC,” Kimmel joked.
Kimmel wrapped up with Trump’s parting shot: “‘Let Jimmy Kimmel rot in his bad ratings.’ And he does know bad ratings. He has some of the worst ratings any president has ever had,” Kimmel concluded to laughter.
