Jimmy Kimmel opening monologue: From \u2018Family Feud\u2019 joke to Tylenol reference – Here’s what he said<\/a><\/p>\n What Donald Trump said<\/p>\n
In a heavily worded post on Truth Social, Trump expressed shock and disappointment over the return of Jimmy Kimmel show.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back. The White House was told by ABC that his Show was cancelled! Something happened between then and now because his audience is GONE, and his \u201ctalent\u201d was never there,\u201d Trump wrote.<\/p>\n
He added that Kimmel plays \u201c99% positive democrat garbage\u201d and called him \u201cnot funny\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy would they want someone back who does so poorly, who\u2019s not funny, and who puts the Network in jeopardy by playing 99% positive Democrat GARBAGE. He is yet another arm of the DNC and, to the best of my knowledge, that would be a major Illegal Campaign Contribution,\u201d the US President said.<\/p>\n
Trump also referred to a defamation case last year, that the ABC decided to settle by donating $15 million to former’s eventual presidential library, and threatened another such step.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think we\u2019re going to test ABC out on this. Let\u2019s see how we do. Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative. A true bunch of losers! Let Jimmy Kimmel rot in his bad Ratings,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n
What Jimmy Kimmel said in his show after return<\/p>\n
Unsurprisingly, Kimmel addressed his last monologue which led to a huge controversy and brief suspension of his show as he returned to television on Tuesday and sought to make it clear that it was never his intention to \u201cmake light\u201d of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, reported Associated Press.<\/p>\n
In an emotional address, Kimmel said, \u201cI have no illusions about changing anyone\u2019s mind, but I do want to make something clear, because it\u2019s important to me as a human and that is, you understand that it was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man.”<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think there\u2019s anything funny about it,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
\u201cNor was it my intention to blame any specific group for the actions of what it was obviously a deeply disturbed individual. That was really the opposite of the point I was trying to make.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Popular late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel returned to television on Tuesday (local time) after an almost week-long…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":34951,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[10119,146,85,46,4176,29135,4177,29136,29137,411],"class_list":["post-34950","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-charlie-kirk","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-jimmy-kimmel","tag-jimmy-kimmel-back-on-abc","tag-jimmy-kimmel-live","tag-jimmy-kimmel-live-back","tag-jimmy-kimmel-show-back-on-air","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34950","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34950"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34950\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34951"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34950"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34950"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34950"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
