Jimmy Kimmel has been on President Trump’s bad side for years. It’s safe to say that the President doesn’t find jokes about himself very funny. He also doesn’t appreciate jokes about his wife, Melania Trump. The First Lady recently found herself involved in the ongoing feud. Jimmy Kimmel shared the “saddest” part about the feud.
Jimmy Kimmel Joins Other Late-Night Hosts To Support Stephen Colbert
President Trump has been demanding ABC fire Jimmy Kimmel for a while now. However, it was late-night host Stephen Colbert who lost his job instead. CBS announced last year that they were canceling The Late Show. The long-running late-night talk show goes off the air on Thursday, May 21. It had been on the air for over 30 years, with David Letterman as host until Stephen Colbert took over in 2015.
Stephen Colbert has welcomed several high-profile guests in the show’s final weeks, including former President Obama. This week, he reunited with John Oliver, Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, and Seth Meyers, the “Strike Force Five” of late-night television.
Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon revealed earlier this week that their respective late-night shows won’t air new episodes on Thursday, May 21. The move was meant to encourage viewers to tune in to Stephen Colbert’s final show.
John Oliver Reveals Text From ABC Host About Latest Trump Blowup
Months after ABC suspended him for a joke about Charlie Kirk’s murder, Jimmy Kimmel is in the hot seat again. A joke he made about Melania Trump being an “expectant widow” resurfaced after an armed intruder attempted to enter the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in late April. No one was injured, but the intruder’s manifesto alluded to President Trump and other high-ranking officials as the targets.
After President Trump and the First Lady called for ABC to fire him, Jimmy Kimmel clarified that his joke was about the couple’s age difference, not a call for the President’s assassination.
John Oliver revealed during the “Strike Force Five” reunion that Jimmy Kimmel sent a group text amid his feud with the First Lady. “It’s an amazing thing to get in a group text, just a text from Jimmy saying, ‘Oh boy,’ and then a picture of Melania [Trump] mad at him,” John Oliver joked.
Jimmy Fallon jokingly expressed support for the First Lady. “Don’t be mad at me, but I liked it. I think she’s got a point,” he responded in the group chat.
Jimmy Kimmel Reveals ‘Saddest’ Part Of Melania Trump Feud
Jimmy Kimmel chimed in on the discussion to share the “saddest” part about his feud with Melania Trump. “I realize in those moments that the only four people who care are sitting right here. It takes 12 hours for the rest of the people in my life to even figure out that anything’s going on,” he said about the initial lack of support from his friends and family.
But once the latest incident went viral, the talk-show host had support from his fans and even some Trump supporters. ABC hasn’t made any moves to fire Jimmy Kimmel, leaving his feud with the Trumps to rage on.
