Jimmy Kimmel got choked up during the opening monologue of his late-night show, telling his audience it was "terrible" that Donald Trump beat Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.
The comedian came out onstage Wednesday evening for "Jimmy Kimmel Live" one day after Trump beat Harris at the polls, delivering a somber speech that nearly made Jimmy cry.
Jimmy said it was a "terrible night for women, for children, for hundreds of thousands of hard-working immigrants," briefly pausing to fight back tears.
He went on to say it was a terrible night for poor people, seniors, the middle class, the media, the justice system and Ukraine, again stopping to collect himself before moving on to Trump's voters.
Jimmy said it was a bad night for them, too, but they didn't realize it yet. He then cracked a joke about Melania, noting it was an "absolute disaster of a night" for her.
Trump was also top of mind for the 3 other late-night hosts: Seth Meyers, Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon.
On "Late Night With Seth Meyers," Seth implied that Trump would never leave office now that he was back in the White House.
Seth said, “Well, Donald Trump has won the 2024 election and will be president again for four more years, or eight or 12 or whatever."
On the "Late Show With Stephen Colbert," Stephen began by sitting at his desk and addressing his audience in a serious matter about the Trump win.
He said, “Hey there, how are you doing? If you watch this show regularly I’m guessing you’re not doing great. Yeah, me neither.”
Stephen then tried to make light of things by talking about his comedy show before displaying TV clips of various news stories talking about Trump's second term with zany reactions from other countries.
Over on "The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon," Fallon began his monologue by reminding everyone "America decided to get back with a crazy ex and elect Donald Trump as the 47th President of the United States."
He added, “No matter who you voted for I think we can all agree that it’s going to be a rough Thanksgiving.”
Safe to say Kimmel, Colbert, Meyers and Fallon ain't taking the loss well.
I was pointing out that living in a bubble that excluded "red America" is indeed being surrounded by Nazis.
They want an all powerful socialist government, think sex is mutable, children all belong to the state, you are judged completely by your ancestors, every worker must belong to a union that will control them....
Inside the bubble it is Nazi's all the way down.
Good. Cry baby, cry. Never could stand the creeper.
I never knew that schadenfreude could be so much fun. But I’m getting it now.
“I was pointing out that living in a bubble that excluded “red America” is indeed being surrounded by Nazis.”
I was pointing out that you were trolling me.
I’m really looking forward to Thanksgiving
> You must have forgotten his “hellhole” episodes in Haiti. <
Yeah, O’Brien did nothing honorable there. That’s why I added the “pretty much” qualifier. But for most of his career I think O’Brien took the middle road, especially when compared to the trash that’s on now. I’ll give him that.
Got it.
He has an animated show through the Daily Wire: “Mr. Birchum”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdBODSx8GMY
Can’t help it.
I see mouthy celebs like Kimmel lately and wonder:
Do wah Diddy?
Diddy Dum?
Diddy Do?
Exactly.
Not me!
It seems that the states Kamala won went to a system of giving their electoral votes to the national popular vote winner.
Trump gets ALL EC votes.
Jimmy must love that.
Jimmy, maybe, just maybe, you were wrong
His corporate masters won’t let him say that.
I left Jimmy my favorite clip I have posted all over today:

Excellent Carson as Reagan bit! Have never seen that one.
As for Kimmel, I used to think he was kind of funny (but lazily crass at times) — now he’s just pathetic
