Jimmy Kimmel took a jab at Donald Trump‘s appearance and recent death rumors swirling online during his Tuesday night monologue.

“He has mysterious bruising on his hand, which they tried to cover up with makeup,” Kimmel pointed out, showing two side-by-side photos to the audience.

“This cover-up is even sloppier than the Epstein one,” added Kimmel, who recently commented on Stephan Colbert‘s show earnings. “How could anyone let him go out like this?” he questioned. “He had to have done that himself, right?’Looks great, sir. No one will notice a thing.'” The late-night host went on to quote the official explanation for the markings, a condition called chronic venous insufficiency, which the Trump campaign cited as the source of both the bruising and ankle swelling.

“In layman’s terms,” Kimmel joked, “it means he’s got a very small venous. He’s got an insufficient venous.”

During the segment, Kimmel also spotlighted Trump’s Tuesday press conference, where the former president brushed off health concerns and claimed he “never felt better.”

That didn’t deter Kimmel from making fun of his appearance. “Despite the fact that he looks like a pumpkin that got left in a hatchback on a hundred-degree day, he is definitely not dead,” Kimmel declared.

The comedian then showed a clip from the press conference, focusing on Vice President JD Vance, who was standing behind Trump during his speech.

“He’s the only one smiling,” Kimmel pointed out. “Good old JD. He hears the words ‘Trump dead,’ he lights up like a Christmas tree.

“Here’s the thing,” Kimmel wrapped up. “Donald Trump will never die. Forget it. He’s like Dracula: he’s going to keep sucking the life out of us forever.”

The night didn’t end there. In a surprise moment during the same episode, actor Denzel Washington delighted the crowd with an impromptu FaceTime call to Lenny Kravitz.

“He may not pick up. He may be working,” Washington said as he dialed. Kimmel chimed in, “I hope he’s working out. I like to see him do some of those sit-ups.”

But Kravitz, ever the dependable friend, answered right away.

“Kravitz!” Washington beamed. “What’s up, boy?! Wait a minute! I’m here with Jimmy.” Washington spun the camera to reveal Kimmel, who greeted Kravitz with a grin and a wave. “Hey Lenny, how ya doing?”

Washington then turned the phone to the cheering studio audience. “They’re all your fans, Lenny! You wanna do a song?” he teased.
