Jimmy Kimmel didn’t host the Oscars on Sunday — that job went for the second year in a row to the fantastic Conan O’Brien — but in presenting the documentary categories, the “Jimmy Kimmel Live” host still had a few sharp things to say.
In coming out to present the documentary short and documentary feature Oscars, Kimmel joked that O’Brien had gone out and accidentally “exposed his face to the sun and was incinerated. So I will be finishing out the rest of the program.”
But turning serious, he noted that with documentaries, “We hear a lot about courage at shows like this but telling a story that could get you killed for telling it is real courage. As you know there are some countries whose leaders don’t support free speech. I’m not at liberty to say which. Let’s just leave it at North Korea and CBS.”
That of course, is in reference to the recent decision by CBS to not allow “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” features Texas State Representative James Talarico as a guest, due to threats from the FCC. (CBS had also earlier iced a “60 Minutes” segment that had been promoted.)
Of course, Kimmel also knows a thing or two about free speech: The host was abruptly yanked off the air last fall after coming under fire from FCC chairman Brendan Carr, an act by Disney that became a rallying call for free speech proponents.

Here is the acceptance speech for this oscar in which the director takes shots at Trump:
‘Mr. Nobody Against Putin’ Wins Best Documentary Feature | 98th Oscars Speech (2026)
Rent free, 24/7, 365.
Hey Kimmel - how about your beloved Democrats threatening people and companies with retribution for supporting Trump? How about YOU saying people’s rights should be revoked when they don’t agree with you?
Free speech means keeping painfully unfunny, low-rated, liberal propaganda spewing no-talents like Colbert and Kimmel on the air with huge budgets even though their programs hemorrhage money.
It’s their money.
Kimmel isn’t bright enough to realize libs snubbing Conservatives for their little awards and magazine covers is a badge of honor for us.
Not surprising considering what a mental midget he is.
No one has bothered to tell Kimmel that Melania Trump’s documentary isn’t eligible until next year.
Gee, I guess that was one good reason to (again) avoid watching the Oscars, lol.
Kimmel has squinting eyes because he masturbate’s to goat porn
“No one has bothered to tell Kimmel that Melania Trump’s documentary isn’t eligible until next year.”
I’m sure he’s aware of that he just couldn’t resist attempting to insult the Trumps.
The fact that isnt eligible until next year makes his attempt at humor that much more lame.
Kimmel the Human Toenail
And it’s pedophile goat porn.
I never knew turds could read a teleprompter until Jimmy got a show.
Jimbo is just another useful idiot.
If Donald Trump was truly a tyrant and a dictator, the idiots in Tinseltown wouldn’t be allowed to shoot their mouths off with no consequences.
Free Speech? From the group who won’t give an Oscar unless the movie promotes ‘woke’ ideology.
This man really needs a life.
The Oscars was on?
