In a Truth Social post, former President Donald Trump predicted the imminent cancellation of late-night shows hosted by Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon, claiming they have “absolutely NO TALENT.” Trump expressed a desire to have “played a major part” in these potential decisions, following the cancellation of Stephen Colbert’s show after a legal settlement with Trump. Kimmel previously posted a photo from an anti-Trump protest, which also included a caption that was a direct reference to Trump’s alleged correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein, which he has since denied. Trump also ordered the production of Grand Jury testimony related to the Epstein case after the Wall Street Journal reported on it.

Following the cancellation of Stephen Colbert’s show, Jimmy Kimmel posted a social media message criticizing Donald Trump, referencing the Epstein case with a caption alluding to a phrase Trump allegedly used. Trump responded by celebrating Colbert’s cancellation and disparaging Kimmel’s talent, continuing his pattern of targeting late-night hosts critical of him. Kimmel has been a vocal Trump critic, previously expressing opinions on various issues, and his recent post followed his history of involvement in the Epstein saga where he had threatened legal action against Aaron Rodgers for false claims linking him to the case. Kimmel’s current criticisms also follow Colbert’s comments on a settlement between Paramount and Trump.

Jimmy Kimmel’s monologue covered two incidents of alleged unprofessional conduct within the Trump White House. First, a shouting match between Elon Musk and Scott Bessent reportedly disrupted a meeting with the Italian Prime Minister.

The White House and Pentagon offered denials of these reports, prompting further satirical commentary from Kimmel. Kimmel concluded his segment with ironic observations about the administration’s focus on certain cultural issues amidst these internal controversies.

Jimmy Kimmel, appearing on MSNBC’s *Morning Joe*, argued that disliking Donald Trump is rational, even suggesting that “Trump Derangement Syndrome” should apply to reasonable people. He highlighted Trump’s Manhattan conviction and the upcoming sentencing, emphasizing that the former president is essentially running for president to avoid prison. Kimmel’s comments are part of a broader trend of liberal celebrities increasing their anti-Trump rhetoric in the lead-up to the election, a trend seemingly correlated with Trump’s improved poll numbers following indictments. This surge in celebrity opposition coincides with Trump’s fundraising increases post-conviction.

Trump may be out of office, but he seems to be finding it hard to accept that he is no longer the center of attention. Jimmy Kimmel’s well-timed jab at him during the Oscars was not only humorous but also highlighted Trump’s desperate need for relevance. The fact that he can’t resist responding to every little dig shows just how fragile his ego truly is.
It’s amusing to see how Trump, along with his cronies like Don Jr., consistently fall into the trap of trying to take on comedians like Jimmy Kimmel. They always end up looking like fools, while the rest of us get a good laugh out of it.… Continue reading
I can’t help but shake my head at the latest news surrounding George Santos and his decision to sue late-night host Jimmy Kimmel for tricking him into making videos to ridicule himself. It’s truly a spectacle to witness someone like Santos, who has made a name for himself through dubious means, try to take legal action against someone like Kimmel.
The fact that Santos willingly participated in creating these videos through the Cameo platform, where users pay celebrities to deliver personalized messages, is nothing short of baffling. How can someone who has built a reputation on deceit and trickery suddenly cry foul when the tables are turned on him?… Continue reading
