Jimmy Kimmel makes transparently desperate plea to Trump to save his tanking show after audiences vanish
UK Daily Mail ^ | October 9, 2025 | Jenson Bird

Outspoken Donald Trump critic Jimmy Kimmel said he would 'love' to have the President on his show amid his tumbling ratings.

The late night host was discussing his return to the screen after his show was temporarily axed over his comments about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

The remarks prompted an outcry, followed by celebrations from Trump when it was announced that Kimmel was being yanked off air.

Seems like Kimmel’s strategy should be....bring on Joe Biden/Jill, or maybe Obama...to get the better numbers.

He could have stayed out and been thought of a martyr for the cause, instead he cried to return and proved to be a loser. Maybe he could do ads for Bud Lite, I hear their looking….. 🤣🤣🤣

I half expected this to be The Babylon Bee.

President Trump should tell this weasel if he wants to talk to him he’s invited to the WH or Mar-A-Lago......Once Bill Maher did he had his little liberal pea brain expanded and changed his tune.

Kimmel thinks he has a win-win here. If Trump comes on he has the interview of a lifetime and his ratings DO improve.....if DJT refuses Kimmel gets to say “see, he doesn’t want free speech”.

Yeah, President Trump is a little busy. This pissant thinks he is important. That fart i just sent into the wind gives me more relief than knowing Disney is still losing money with this jerk.

I wouldn’t trust the weasel... it’s not in Kimmel’s nature to be anything other than what he has already displayed. He’s a type of Keith Olbermann only a bit less of a psychopath.

I agree. Should have stayed out. He would have capitalized it.

I’m worried Trump will take the bait. Let the show die.

Just replace him with reruns of F troop. The ratings would double

“Should have stayed out. He would have capitalized it.”

These people don’t see that Trumpmactually won the election. Well maybe now it starts to sink in.

"...'It was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man,' he said...But Kimmel said during his interview on October 8 that his comments about Kirk had been 'intentionally and maliciously mischaracterized'..."

So in addition to not being funny while spewing 100% Liberal drivel 100% of the time, he's also a liar. That doesn't sound like a successful plan for any programming.

Late night has been losing the broadcast news millions for years.

They didn’t and don’t care until recently.

Because this wasn’t about entertainment or making a profit.

These guys were/are modern day Lord Haw-Haws...
