Jimmy Kimmel made his hatred for Donald Trump crystal clear when he ripped the former president during the 2024 Oscars. The host called an audible and read a Truth Social post from Trump during the ceremony. “Thank you for watching. I’m surprised you’re still up. Isn’t it past jail time?” Kimmel said at the Oscars on March 10, while alluding to Trump’s multiple trials, per CBS News.
That joke did not go unnoticed by Trump, who went on the offensive against the late night host the following month. “Stupid Jimmy Kimmel, who still hasn’t recovered from his horrendous performance … the WORST HOST EVER OF THE ONCE VAUNTED ACADEMY AWARDS!” the former president wrote on Truth Social on April 17. In his strongly-worded post, Trump also mistook Kimmel for Al Pacino’s bizarre reading of the best picture winner. “In fairness to our former President, many stable geniuses confuse me with Al Pacino,” Kimmel wrote on X, formerly Twitter, in response to Trump’s post.
Later that night, Kimmel continued to take shots at the Republican presidential candidate. During the April 17 monologue on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” the comedian jabbed at Trump still obsessing over the Oscars joke. Kimmel also said it could be difficult for Trump to catch him hosting the 2025 Oscars. “Maybe you can watch on the TV in the rec room at Riker’s with all the guys,” he joked. Kimmel did not let up, and kept ripping Trump during his criminal trial.
