Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel admitted "repulsive" liberal voices are scaring people away from the Democratic Party during an appearance on the "Sarah Silverman Podcast" on Thursday. The comedians discussed cancel culture persisting on the left since President Donald Trump returned to office. They criticized those who continue to shun Trump voters who are now expressing regret for supporting the president. Silverman brought up how podcast host Joe Rogan has been attacked online for criticizing Trump's second term after supporting him in the 2024 election. She called it "ironic" that the party of "inclusivity" was "incredibly elitist." Anti-Trump Kimmel, who campaigned...

The comedian sat down with ex Sarah Silverman to discuss politics and possible means of escape. Jimmy Kimmel might be the next American comedian to flee to Europe to escape President Donald Trump. Kimmel, who has hosted the ABC late-night comedy show Jimmy Kimmel Live! for 22 years, shared his thoughts on Trump and the state of American politics with his ex-girlfriend, Sarah Silverman, on her podcast. “A lot of people I know are thinking about where are they going to get citizenship?” Silverman said. “I did get Italian citizenship,” Kimmel replied. According to the Italian news agency Ansa, Kimmel...

Jimmy Kimmel is a desperate man looking for a way out, he revealed in a recent interview. The late-night host sees the writing on the wall, including the likely evisceration of his own ABC show. Rather than bear it, Kimmel said he’s giving serious thought to fleeing the U.S. Such a move would be driven by Kimmel’s desire to “escape Trump,” he said on the Sarah Silverman Podcast last week. “I did get Italian citizenship, I do have that. What’s going on is as bad as you thought it was gonna be,” the 57-year-old comedian said about his own career...

For mentally ill leftists, fake is real, and real is fake. Social media sherpa “The Chief Nerd” posted a video clip of “entertainers” Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman discussing their anxiety over President Trump’s return to the White House. Kimmel says he obtained citizenship in Italy so he can escape America. Silverman thinks that is “amazing” and describes how she searches online for “Trump regrets or MAGA regrets” in the hopes that Americans’ shared misery “will bring people together.” They both agree: “As bad as you thought it was gonna be, it’s so much worse.” Celebrity therapy sessions such as...

Jimmy Kimmel took a break from taking a break for something he normally does at work: trolling President Donald Trump. Kimmel, who is on vacation from “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” through Labor Day, posted a photo on Instagram showing himself and his family holding signs while attending a protest against the president. “Summer family vacation! #goodtrouble,” he wrote. “May every day be another wonderful secret.” That’s a reference to a birthday message Trump allegedly wrote in 2003 to his then-friend Jeffrey Epstein, who would later be convicted of sex crimes

President Donald Trump weighed in on CBS’s announcement that it is canceling Stephen Colbert‘s late-night talk show — and the president is hopeful Jimmy Kimmel will be next to get axed. CBS said Thursday that it plans to end “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” in May 2026, calling it a “purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night.” “I absolutely love that Colbert’ got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Friday morning. “I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next. Has even less talent than Colbert!”

Disney-owned ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel downplayed the violent, destructive, insurrectionist L.A. riots Tuesday night and said he was “very angry” that immigration officials were arresting murderers, drug dealers, and rapists. During Tuesday evening’s Jimmy Kimmel Live monologue, Kimmel blasted the Trump administration for “abducting” people off the streets for deportation and for sending the National Guard to break up what Kimmel called “peaceful demonstrations” occurring in Los Angeles. “I’m very angry, I have to say. I cannot believe what’s going on. I knew it was going to be bad, I did not know it was going to be this...

Here’s a question for ya: is anyone under 40 still watching late-night talk shows? And even more to the point: is anyone under 40 who isn’t a flaming liberal still tuning in to Kimmel, Colbert, or Fallon? We’d bet the answer is probably “NO.” Sure, media is changing. Podcasts are exploding. Legacy formats are fading; just look at how X has exploded. But the real reason late-night is dying is multifaceted, and one big reason is Stage 5 Trump Derangement Syndrome. These shows aren’t just outdated; they’ve become downright insufferable. It’s the same tired punchlines. The same smug sneering. The...

Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, the latest crush of the left-wing resistance to President Donald Trump and a potential 2028 Democratic presidential contender, appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live Thursday night and found himself on the receiving end of a barrage of jokes about his weight. Kimmel played video of President Trump mocking Pritzker’s weight, saying: “He’s too busy eating, he wants to eat all the time. ‘Would like a hamburger? How many do you want? Five,’” Trump said, imitating the billionaire Hyatt hotel heir ordering food. “He loves to make fun of people any way he can,” Pritzker nervously replied, adding...

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! host Jimmy Kimmel seemingly justified the recent string of vandalism and arson attacks against Elon Musk’s Tesla dealerships and vehicles across the country while spreading a debunked Nazi salute hoax. “Poor guy,” Kimmel sarcastically said of Musk and his company facing attacks, adding, “You do one, maybe two, Nazi salutes, everybody gets all bent out of shape.” “Someone lit a bunch of Teslas on fire,” Kimmel said during his monologue. “And here’s the thing, I get that people are upset, [but] burning a car might not be great for the environment. I don’t think that’s what...

Late-night comedians Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, and Jon Stewart used their shows on Monday to attack President-elect Donald Trump and Republican leaders over the raging fires in Los Angeles — even though neither Trump nor the GOP is in charge of the Democrat-controlled county or state. Jimmy Kimmel even accused Trump of being racist against firefighters — a laughably ridiculous claim that the comedian made by disingenuously conflating opposition to DEI with racism. During their respective broadcasts, the comedians made no mention of California’s Democrat leaders who are ultimately responsible for managing the unfolding catastrophe.

After nearly breaking down in tears following President-elect Donald Trump’s victory last week, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel has quickly reverted to his old self by smearing incoming First Lady Melania Trump on Tuesday’s show, making fun of her accent while also conjuring up a fantasy in which she divorces President-elect Donald Trump. Jimmy Kimmel attacked Melania Trump during his opening monologue, noting she turned down Jill Biden’s White House invitation. “Trump’s team claims Melania had a scheduling conflict related to her ‘booook’ that came out five weeks ago which doesn’t sound true,” he said, prompting the studio audience to guffaw at...

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 liberal late-night hosts put their post-election meltdowns on full display Wednesday evening less than 24 hours after President-elect Donald Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon greeted their shows with similar rehearsed acts — putting on a fake smile and lamenting about the terrible night they had because of Trump’s win. “I spent a lot of time over the past 17 hours thinking about what I would say tonight, or even if there is anything to say tonight, and there’s nothing, goodnight everybody,” Kimmel said walking off the stage.

The law is the law, and Jimmy Kimmel broke it. Or at least, he broke the law as it has been outrageously interpreted according to President Joe Biden’s Justice Department, which prosecuted and jailed Douglass Mackey for making an almost identical joke to the one Kimmel made on Wednesday night. During his monologue, Kimmel said, “If you want to vote for Trump, vote late. Vote very late. Do your voting on Thursday or maybe Friday.” Get it? He’s joking about how he hopes Trump voters don’t vote in time. But is it a harmless joke or a case of “election...

Jimmy Kimmel: "If you want to vote for Trump, vote late. Vote very late. Do your voting on Thursday or maybe Friday."

Do you know how many eggs a woman has? If not, ABC’s Jimmy “non-sequitur” Kimmel believes you are not allowed to be pro-life because on Wednesday’s show, Kimmel and his liberal audience guffawed at self-described pro-lifers not being able to answer questions about female anatomy that they certainly would not be able to answer themselves. Kimmel teed up a man-on-the-street segment by hyping Tuesday night’s debate, “Kamala Harris forcefully defended a woman's right to choose last night, it was very effective, and it got me wondering about how much some of these people who seem to know what's best for...

It might be the funniest thing she’s said in her entire career. Kathy Griffin has revealed she is scared that a victory for former President Donald Trump in November will put the lives of comedians like herself at risk. “He’s going to pick us off, one by one, like bowling pins, and I’m not kidding and I’m not being paranoid,” the 63-year-old told Entertainment Weekly in an interview published Wednesday. Griffin elaborated at astonishing length on her narcissistic fantasy.

Doug Emhoff has done what his wife, Kamala Harris, has so far refused to do — sit down for a solo interview. ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel interviewed Doug Emhoff on Thursday’s show, gushing over the second gentleman while repeatedly bashing former President Donald Trump. Noticeably missing from the frothy conversation was any reference to Kamala Harris’ platform, policies, or her numerous failures as vice president — including her complete inability to secure the southern border or get consumer prices under control. Instead, Kimmel played his usual role of DNC cheerleader for his appreciative studio audience. “Now I’m rooting for you,” the...

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! trashed the Republican National Convention on Tuesday when guest host Anthony Anderson called it “The White People’s Choice Awards” — continuing the woke left’s belief that being white is a moral failing. Anthony Anderson also called the RNC the “No Soul Train.” The actor-comedian appears not to have watched the RNC because if he had, he would know the convention has spotlighted numerous non-white speakers. Monday’s speakers included Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, and Goya Foods CEO Bob Unanue.
