Trump repeatedly attacked Kimmel and his fellow late-night hosts over the summer, warning that their shows were likely to get canceled like ‘The Late Show With Stephen Colbert’
Jimmy Kimmel isn’t holding back when it comes to President Donald Trump’s pointed comments about late-night comedy.
The Jimmy Kimmel Live host, 57, returned from a two-month summer vacation on Tuesday, Sept. 2, and kicked off his first episode back with a bang: an unfiltered monologue over 10 minutes long aimed directly at the president, from his viral health rumors to his controversial White House renovations.
Kimmel’s scathing remarks came weeks after Trump, 79, began repeatedly attacking the most prominent late-night hosts, beginning with his celebration in July that CBS had canceled the top-rated Late Show With Stephen Colbert.
During the monologue, Kimmel addressed the viral online rumor that Trump had died over Labor Day weekend, and made jabs at the president’s “big fat elephant ankles” and bruised hand, which has regularly been masked with a cover-up that was, in Kimmel’s words, “even sloppier than the Epstein one.”
“Trump said he’s in great health, he’s never felt better,” Kimmel continued. “Despite the fact that he looks like a pumpkin that looks like it got left in the hatchback on a 100 degree day, he is definitely not dead.”
“Donald Trump will never die. Forget it! He’s like Dracula,” Kimmel added. “He’s going to keep sucking the life out of us forever.”
Kimmel began the monologue with an edited clip of a Cabinet meeting in Washington, D.C., which featured a slew of over-the-top compliments for Trump from his top advisers, plus an added-in Kimmel, who mirrored the rhetoric of the politicians at the table and professed that Trump’s image made him “sexually aroused.”
Kimmel then began reading from his pre-written list of Trump’s moves this summer, each “crazier than the next,” including planning a UFC fight at the White House, sparring with the Smithsonian for documenting America’s history of slavery, petitioning other world leaders to help him secure the Nobel Peace Prize and going to Alaska “to bend over for Putin.”
Kimmel then responded directly to Trump’s threats that Jimmy Kimmel Live would be the next late-night show to be canceled.
“Oh, you delicate, chubby little teacup,” Kimmel said. “Did we hurt your feelings? You want us to be canceled because we make jokes about you?”
“I thought you were against cancel culture?” he continued. “I thought that was, like, their whole thing? When did you become so woke?”
