In a wide-ranging interview with The Daily Beast, the Emmy-nominated late-night host weighs in on Trump, Omarosa, Kanye, Hannity, Matt Damon, the Oscars and a lot more.
HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — When I walk into Jimmy Kimmel’s large corner office above the El Capitan Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard, he offers me the customary bottle of water. “Or do you want eight Diet Cokes like the president?” he asks.
The host of Jimmy Kimmel Live! is in a reflective mood but Trump jokes are never far from his mind. As we start our interview, Kimmel is lounging on a large sectional couch, wearing socks, jeans and an untucked shirt. His hair is noticeably less kempt than it will be when he takes the stage downstairs a few hours later. Just a few days away from a two week vacation, Kimmel seems ready for a break. “We’re pounding it out,” he says of this home stretch of shows.
As it has for most late-night hosts, the Trump administration has kept Kimmel on his toes, providing a never-ending stream of hilarious and/or terrifying news stories for him to joke and/or cry about in his nightly monologue. “The show’s never really finished until I’m standing on that stage,” he tells me at one point. “And it’s a pain in the ass, quite frankly, to be writing a monologue an hour before the show starts. But we do it a lot now.”
We begin our interview by talking about his show’s seventh consecutive nomination in the main Emmy category for Outstanding Variety Talk Series. It’s an award Jimmy Kimmel Live! has never won, losing out to HBO’s Last Week Tonight with John Oliver the past two years and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report several times before that....

JIMMY KIMMEL IS A DEMONIC-RAT ASS!
“Jokes”. Using the term loosely.
>> Stewart and Colbert
Two unfunny, nasty bastards.
Kimmel is a moron without conviction.
Said the guy who made his career off of big breasted women jumping up and down on trampolines ...
Not to worry, Mr. Kimmel, your appeal is safely restricted to your group-think groupies.
Strange Fruit Jimmy......you will reap your own windfall my man
Did the author consider the Diet Coke offer as an actual Trump joke? Perhaps he doesn’t know the difference between humor and name-dropping?
He is right, you are two people now, or more than two. With little overlap of interests, or fully incompatible interests, incompatible cultures, basically two fundamentally inimical nations overlain and intermixed.
I hate Late Night Talk Show Nazis.
Yes he is!
He will receive his reward in due time.
I don’t know the rent cost of his corner office on the second floor, but Trump is living rent free in his head. And yes, 8 cokes lined up please.
I wonder what the "terrifying" news stories are? I suspect that the liberals are paying attention to a lot of rumors and innuendo, but not to actual news about Trump, so I am curious.
In any case, I don't watch Kimmel and probably never will. I wouldn't recognize him if I met him in the street.
Wonder if ABC’s affiliates and advertisers feel the same way...?
Agreed...I watched an old Carson clip on YouTube the other night...it would still be a winning formula but mean, nasty, and unlikeable cretins like kimmel can’t do it...you’ve got to be a genuinely nice guy, naturally funny, and love people from all walks of life and political persuasions to pull that off. I don’t understand how the suits at the network can allow any talk show host to dismiss over half of America when they need ratings to sell ads.
Cryin' Jimmy is like a leftist Glenn Beck.
No one cares, Jimmy.
No one cares.
Other than naturally funny, Carson was none of those things. He was able to portray himself as such on the screen, though. Kimmel is just an unattractive, nasty, no-talent jerk, though. How he got the job is beyond me.
