President Biden is making his late-night TV debut as commander in chief, but all signs point to his first in-studio appearance not being a typical, lighthearted opportunity to yuk it up. His Wednesday sit-down with Jimmy Kimmel will be the first face-to-face interview of his presidency on one of the comedy shows. He appeared virtually on NBC’s “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” in December. Biden will tape his “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” interview this week during a swing through California.

In a tweet Sunday evening, Kimmel wrote “Our very elected President @JoeBiden visits @JimmyKimmelLive Wednesday night. No malarkey.”..

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has filed a complaint with the U.S. Capitol Police against late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel. The Georgia Republican tweeted Wednesday evening that Mr. Kimmel had threatened violence against her in his monologue on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Mr. Kimmel noted a tweet by Mrs. Greene in which she accused Republican Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine and Mitt Romney of Utah of being “pro-pedophile” for saying they would vote to confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson for the Supreme Court.

Thanks to his impassioned late-night pleas about health care and gun control, CNN has called Jimmy Kimmel “America’s conscience.” Jimmy Kimmel? This is the man who, along with bro-tastic podcaster Adam Carolla, brought you the Juggies, women in skimpy bikinis who ended each episode of The Man Show by bouncing on trampolines.... A friend insists that Kimmel has transformed from a chauvinistic joker into an empathetic conversationalist. (The friend, in this case, is Howard Stern.) There’s a lot that New Howard has left behind. When his show moved to satellite radio in 2004, Old Howard was like a kid in...

In a sign of their declining popularity, late-night comedians Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, and Jimmy Fallon have seen their ratings plummet for more than four months straight, as viewers in the coveted 18-49 year old demographic are tuning out consistently compared to last year, according to data reviewed by Breitbart News. For last week, the three major late-night shows experienced a 19 percent drop from last year in their average weekly viewership in the 18-49 demographic. These declines tend to be between 10 percent and 20 percent every week as far back as mid July, though some weeks saw even...

Far-left ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel threw a fit on Tuesday, railing against “screwballs” and Republican “scumbags” who have criticized Dr. Anthony Fauci — those who have pointed to White House medical adviser’s inconsistent views, flip-flopping, and denial of funding gain-of-function research — defending the “tiny, adorable, tired man” who has positioned himself as the human expression of science itself. Kimmel kicked off the segment by insulting those who have not gotten vaccinated, telling the audience, “If you’ve been watching Fox News, you know that the real enemy isn’t the virus or the do-my-own-research geniuses who refuse to get the...

He pokes fun at them on a nightly basis, but Jimmy Kimmel is questioning whether it's good for Americans to laugh at the country's "terrible" issues and political leaders. "I don't know that laughing about these terrible problems that we have, and these terrible people that we have is good," the "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" host said in response to a question Thursday from CNN anchor Jake Tapper about whether late-night TV provides escapism for viewers. "I could probably spend an hour answering this question because I don't know that escapism is a good thing," Kimmel said during the news network's...

It all started when Jimmy Kimmel accused Fox News’ Sean Hannity of “digging deep” to slam President Biden, leaving the impression that the late-night “comedian” doesn’t think there’s much material when it comes to real reasons to mock or joke about the president: Jimmy Kimmel mocked Fox News on Thursday for its dedicated efforts to swipe at President Joe Biden. Fox News host Sean Hannity had played a clip of Biden at the annual congressional baseball game at Nationals Park on Wednesday, saying he arrived to a “chorus of boos.” The clip, however, sounded predominantly like cheering. “Biden’s uneventful visit...

Bill Maher ripped the liberal media for “scaring the s—” out of people by fearmongering during the pandemic. During his appearance on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” this week, the 65-year-old “Real Time With Bill Maher” host cited a survey in The New York Times — “which is a liberal paper so they weren’t looking for this answer,” Fox News reported. “The question was, ‘What do you think the chances are that you would have to go to the hospital if you got COVID?’ And Democrats thought that was, way higher than Republicans,” Maher said. “The answer is between 1 percent...

Caitlyn Jenner has accused Jimmy Kimmel of transphobia after the comedian called her 'Donald Trump in a wig' during Thursday's broadcast of his ABC late-night show. Jenner - who is currently running to become the next Republican governor of California - took to Twitter on Friday slamming the funnyman and noting the relative silence from the LGBTQ community in the wake of the remark. 'Last night @jimmykimmel called me Donald Trump with a wig. He obviously believes that trans women are simply men with wigs on. Where is the outrage from the left or LGBT community?' Jenner wrote.

Sean Hannity fired-back at failing late-night ‘comedian’ Jimmy Kimmel Monday night after the talk-show host viciously attacked Caitlyn Jenner; pointing out the numerous times Kimmel acted like an “ignorant a**hole” on national television. “Far-left, low-rated late-night host Jimmy Kimmel is spewing more hatred and more rage,” said Hannity. “What’s with all the anger and all the cheap shots?” “Don’t you have anything better to do, like boost your dismal ratings, because we’re actually crushing you,” he added. “Let’s remind people… You want to talk about ignorant assholes, this is you dressed as Karl Malone. This is you, an ignorant asshole,...

ABC’s late-night host Jimmy Kimmel has called Caitlyn Jenner an “ignorant a-hole” in response to the California gubernatorial candidate’s recent interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity during which Jenner addressed California’s population exodus and homelessness crisis. On Thursday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, host Jimmy Kimmel attempted to portray Caitlyn Jenner as out-of-touch because she conducted the Hannity interview from a private airplane hangar.

Hunter Biden took his reputation rehabilitation-book tour to Jimmy Kimmel Live! , where he spoke about his crack addiction but was spared serious questions about his laptop scandal or how he secured lucrative foreign deals while his father was vice president of the US. Left-wing host Jimmy Kimmel avoided asking Hunter questions about the contents of his laptop or the murky foreign deals he allegedly made on behalf of the Biden family and his father. Instead, Kimmel lobbed mostly softball queries and gave the younger Biden a platform to talk about his triumph over crack addiction. “Yeah, it was a...

ABC’s late-night host Jimmy Kimmel speculated Reddit investors are “Russian disruptors” Friday night during his opening monologue on his show “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” Kimmel said, “GameStop, if you don’t know, is a video game store, and like a lot of businesses, they’ve been struggling because of COVID but also because most people buy games online now.”

ABC’s left-wing late-night host Jimmy Kimmel mocked Trump supporters flocking to Washington, DC, to show their support for the president as Congress gathers to count the Electoral College votes, labeling the event — dubbed the “Million MAGA March” — the “Million Moron March.” The Jimmy Kimmel Live! host mocked the supporters’ pre-events, which included a speaker who spoke to a group at Freedom Plaza this week, encouraging them to hug each other, calling it a “mass spreader event.”

ABC’s left-wing late-night host Jimmy Kimmel trashed Vice President Mike Pence over his decision to receive the Pfizer vaccine for the coronavirus, arguing that Pence’s past skepticism over a second wave makes him unworthy of receiving the vaccine. “Speaking of cold, white stuff, Mike Pence is expected to get his first of two Pfizer shots tomorrow,” Jimmy Kimmel said his opening monologue on Thursday, tasing aim at Pence and his wife Karen’s decision to take the vaccine to prove it is safe. “I guess the thinking is, if it’s good enough for America’s First Karen, it should be good enough...

Former President Barack Obama told ABC’s left-wing late night host Jimmy Kimmel that “we can always send the Navy SEALs” to physically remove President Donald Trump from the White House. Obama made the remark during an appearance Thursday on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to promote his new memoir A Promised Land. When asked by Kimmel if the White House has any secret spots where “someone could hide” if they don’t want to leave, Obama replied: “Well, I think we can always send the Navy SEALS in there to dig him out.”

Besides the obvious changes in formant and technical reach due to the coronavirus pandemic, Jimmy Kimmel’s third time as host saw a lot of firsts at the 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards last night. For one, there was a host again after the TV Academy show ceremony tried to be like the 2019 Oscars and go without a frontman or frontwoman. Then there was the unprecedented total sweep by Canadian comedy Schitt’s Creek of every category it was nominated in. That sweep also saw a first for an import from the Great White North in a top series category. Additionally, with...
