The ousted Current TV host was not amused by Kimmel's jokes; compares him to Bill O'Reilly.

Jimmy Kimmel's half-hour speech at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner Saturday evening had a few targets -- Kim Kardashian, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, Newt Gingrich, Lindsay Lohan and Mitt Romney, to name a few -- but it seems not everyone can take a joke.

Kimmel had joked that he’d “like everyone to look under your seats, under each one you will find a copy of Keith Olbermann’s resume.”

“Is Keith here tonight? Limo wouldn’t pick him up?” Kimmel asked — a reference to the former Current TV host’s reported complaints about his drivers. “The thing about Keith Olbermann is, he’s so likeable. Al Gore launched Current TV in 2005 and it took off like a North Korean rocket. To be honest I didn’t even know Current TV was still on the air, but then I don’t get channel 1,000,000.”

Kimmel:

“Democrats would like you to stick to your guns. And if you don’t have any guns, you can ask Eric Holder to get some for you.”
