He also joked about medical emergencies, asking if there was a doctor, wait, \u201ca Jesus,\u201d in the house, making Trump look more amused. \u201cI get why you think you\u2019re Jesus,\u201d Kimmel said. \u201cEvery time he walks in a room, people say, \u2018Christ, he\u2019s back.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tThe \u201cmonologue\u201d also cut to quips of Vanilla Ice, Marco Rubio, Mike Tyson, Rob Schneider, Kanye West, Roseanne, and Dog, the Bounty Hunter, who also laughed at Kimmel\u2019s jokes. Trump laughed more and more, too, especially at Kimmel\u2019s Epstein jokes. Addressing Melania Trump, he said, \u201cYou have a glow like an expectant widow.\u201d The producers even found footage of the First Lady (\u201cthe star of the world\u2019s first motionless picture,\u201d Kimmel said) almost smiling at some of Kimmel\u2019s jokes. \u201cHer documentary had a score of 10 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, which is a website named after her husband\u2019s testicles,\u201d Kimmel joked.<\/p>\n<p>\t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tOne of Kimmel\u2019s best jokes was for Stephen Miller: \u201cStephen Miller is so racist the reason he went bald was because his hair was black. \u2026 He\u2019s like if baby Hitler traveled in time to kill us.\u201d That last sentence got a \u201cpower\u201d fist clip from \u201cMel Gibson.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tThe real White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner won\u2019t be an iota as fun as Kimmel\u2019s when it takes place Saturday with Oz Pearlman hosting.
