Jimmy Kimmel's attempt to sway Republicans with a 19 minute anti-Trump monologue has backfired with viewers.
The talk show host delivered a special plea to those thinking of voting for the former president, in which he promised to avoid, 'liberal virtue signaling'.
But the almost 20 minute rant ended up irritating some viewers so much they pledged to vote Trump anyway, just to spite Kimmel.
The comedian used clips from the former president's speeches, interviews and rallies to try and illustrate several aspects he believes make Trump unfit to lead.
'Am I biased against Donald Trump? Yes,' Kimmel admitted. 'Do I think I have good reasons for being biased against him? Yes.
'And I'm probably wrong, but I think when you hear some of those reasons, you might agree with me, even just a little bit.'
However, many viewers were left alienated by Kimmel's sermonizing, with some even suggesting they were now voting Trump to spite him.
'I was on the fence, but since Hollywood elites like Jimmy Kimmel are supporting Harris, I’ll cast a vote for Trump,' one person wrote.
'Kimmel fell off and has gone woke,' another added.
''Remember when Johnny Carson and Jay Leno were hosts and it was all about class and entertainment? Jimmy is a clown,' one person wrote.
'All this MF does is every flipping night! Rip off on Trump. Do you have any other material? Yikes. Switch channels,' one viewer fumed.
The segment saw Kimmel attack Trump over his 'concepts of a plan' for healthcare, his obsession with transgender children and his Chinese-made 'God Bless the USA' Bible.
'Now those Bibles weren't even made in the USA they were made in China,' Kimmel joked. 'That's how tough he is on China, he forces them to make his Bibles for him.'

Jimmy Kimmels speech poll
won me over...........................: 9% 611 votes
makes me want to vote trump: 91% 6107 votes
Jimmy Kimmel’s allowed to have a different opinion of Trump than we have - and WE have the right to point out he’s a jerk and vote against him with our TV clickers and against Harris with our votes.
It’s still a free country in spite of what the jerkoffs in the FBI, DOJ and Homeland say...
That’s right.
This why late night is dead. The left has no sense of humor, they are angry and spiteful and simply want everyone else to feel the same way. They lack self reflection and are casement hypocrites.
When you can’t laugh at yourself everyone else will laugh AT YOU.
Greg Gutfield now owns late night, they severed it up to him on a silver platter.
Free ad for her but actually we pay for it IMHO
Could he also have visited a certain someone(who did not kill himself)'s island?
🧐🤔
Jay Leno got fired for hitting 0bemba with powder puffs. This rat can say all of those things and retain his job?
What has this country become?
When I went onto youtube early this morning to look at an automotive video, this Kimmel rant was at the very top of my suggested viewing (interesting, isn’t how they’re willing and able to target the very Trump voters that Kimmel was aiming at?). I watched a couple minutes... and it was incredibly boring and unfunny. Same old, same old orange man bad shtick. They just keep thinking that if only they compare him to Hitler one more time, we’ll all cry uncle and say, “Oh! *Now* I see. Orange man bad. Got it.”
I don’t know who I despise more, Kimmel or Morning Shmo.
I don’t like either one of them, but Fallon can sing and do impressions.
Kimmel can suck a liter of beer in under a second.
Well that’s a toughie, but at least Kimmel doesn’t pretend to be a ‘conservative’.....................
I miss the days when the late night shows were A) hosted by comedians, and B) worth watching from time to time.
The only good Late Night talk show host since Carson was Craig Ferguson.
Jimmy Kimmel is whoring himself out for his remaining paychecks in a dying industry.
No Republican watched him since Man Show. Back then I was more libertarian socially. I also listened to Stern back then. I grew up and these clowns are MORE insecure and immature.

frequent flyer status on epstein’s lolita express may be jimmy’s main reason to be biased against trump
was he on diddy’s A list, too?
And he’s a typical liar to boot.
Can’t even take a joke. What does PR have to do with all Latinos?
I don’t have to hope. It’s going to be bad for them.
Gutfeld's taken over late night TV - you're right - and he keeps getting stronger and better. Never thought I'd see a late night conservative comedian top the ratings. Or even see a conservative in that spot. Good for FOXNews to expand their reach too.
It's still amazing.
I wonder how the goons in the FBI, DOJ and Homeland feel about that? We have a voice in Gutfeld and THEY can't lie about us like they use to - Gutfeld's reach is past 'just conservatives'. Also thanks to Trump and Tucker on that one too...
