Jimmy Kimmel<\/a>‘s got the jokes.\n<\/p>\n The late-night host poked fun at everything from President Donald Trump<\/a> to his own eponymous show getting suspended while hosting Selena Gomez<\/a>\u2019s 3rd annual Rare Impact Fund Benefit on Wednesday.\n<\/p>\n In a video from the event shared by TMZ<\/a>, Kimmel began his remarks by thanking Gomez, of whom he said, “Everyone says you are the best, the nicest, the kindest, the most generous and all that stuff, and I have to say I believe it.”\n<\/p>\n He continued, “I’m excited to be here,” before joking, “Honestly after the month I’ve had, I’m excited to be anywhere. I was this close to starting an OnlyFans.”\n<\/p>\n Selena Gomez and Jimmy Kimmel attend the 3rd annual Rare Impact Fund Benefit on Oct. 29, 2025 in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n Amy Sussman\/Getty\u00a0<\/p>\n Last month, ABC pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live <\/a>from the air<\/a> for six days following pressure from the Trump administration, and after affiliate groups Nexstar and Sinclair preempted it, all prompted by remarks the host made about the suspect identified in the Sept. 10 shooting of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk.\n<\/p>\n Trump blasted the network for reinstating Kimmel after his temporary suspension. \u201cWhy would they want someone back who does so poorly, who’s not funny, and who puts the Network in jeopardy by playing 99% positive Democrat GARBAGE,\u201d the president wrote on Truth Social. “Let Jimmy Kimmel rot in his bad Ratings.”\n<\/p>\n Kimmel’s return to air on Sept. 23 marked the\u00a0highest viewership<\/a>\u00a0the show had seen in a decade.<\/p>\n ISSEI KATO\/POOL\/AFP via Getty; Jesse Grant\/Variety via Getty<\/p>\n At the fundraiser, which supported Gomez’s mental health nonprofit, Kimmel then turned his sights on the current administration, joking, “We have a very special event for you tonight filled with moving stories from amazing organizations that our president wants to defund.”\n<\/p>\n He added, “This work the Rare Impact Fund does is needed now more than ever. It’s very painful to see what’s happening in our country right now, and we’re not even allowed to take Tylenol for it.” (Since Trump and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. controversially claimed<\/a> at a Sept. 22 press conference that autism is caused by prenatal exposure to Tylenol, Kimmel has made several jokes<\/a> about the medication on his show.)<\/p>\n Robert F.
