Late-Night Jimmy Kimmel’s pals aren’t just laughing at his jokes — they want him running the country.
Insiders tell Straight Shuter that Hollywood elites are nudging the 57-year-old gabber to trade in his monologues for Oval Office speeches, planting the seed that he should run in 2028.

“Hollywood actually thinks they get to pick the next president,” one insider says. “These people spend more time at Nobu than at Walmart, but suddenly they’re political geniuses?”
The political push follows Kimmel’s temporary suspension from the air — which sources say turned him into a martyr for lefties who are still bruised after George Clooney’s Kamala Harris disaster. Now, Tinseltown is said to be shopping Jimmy like he’s the star in a pilot episode of a new series.

“They’re pitching him as smart, funny, fearless,” says another source. “But it’s a tiny bubble casting this role, not thinking about real voters.”
The crazy part is that Kimmel seems to be listening! “He’s starting to believe maybe they’re right,” says another insider. “But to real Americans, Jimmy Kimmel in the White House sounds more like a late-night punchline than a serious plan.”
