During the 96th edition of the Academy Awards on Sunday night, Jimmy Kimmel took a jab at Donald Trump. As the host of the Oscars, Jimmy made sure to clarify his thoughts on Trump. Trump, not surprisingly, did not take the roast lightly, going as far as calling Jimmy the “WORST HOST” in history while criticizing his opening monologue.
In response to Jimmy’s jokes, Trump suggested that the Academy should “get rid” of Jimmy and possibly replace him with “another cheap talent from ABC, George Slopanopoulos.” Trump was referring to the ABC News political commentator George Stephanopoulos. He even claimed that the TV host would make everyone at the Oscars look “bigger, stronger, and more glamorous.”
Jimmy did not back down and continued to poke fun at Trump, taking out his cell phone to read Trump’s posts to the whole audience. He pointed out the obvious question, “Can you guess which ex-president just posted that on Truth Social?” Then, he delivered the punchline, “Thanks, President Trump. Thank you for watching. I’m surprised… Hasn’t your time in jail passed already?” The audience erupted in laughter at Jimmy’s joke, mocking Trump’s four criminal charges.
As Trump and the current President Joe Biden gear up for the 2024 White House race, Hollywood is now getting entangled in all the political drama. The clash between the two political figures has brought even more attention to the antics and banter that occur in the entertainment industry.
Overall, Jimmy Kimmel’s roast of Donald Trump at the Oscars was met with mixed reactions, with some finding it humorous and others deeming it inappropriate. However, one thing is for sure – political figures and celebrities will continue to clash on various platforms, providing entertainment and controversy for the masses.
