Jimmy Kimmel

In the first three weeks after the writers’ strike, the late night joke tellers picked right back up where they left off: telling Trump jokes at the expense of almost everything else, including comedy gold mines in Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez’s corruption scandal and Rep. Jamaal Bowman pulling a Congressional fire alarm, a NewsBusters study has found. At the same time, jokes about Republican…

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel returned to attacking his old nemesis, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, on Thursday’s show as he compared Cruz and former President Trump to STDs while also speculating on the former’s sex life.

During his opening monologue on Wednesday, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel took time to recap the House GOP’s decision to nominate Rep. Steve Scalise to be Speaker of the House. As part of these developments, Kimmel profiled Scalise whom he attacked for not embracing gun control despite almost being assassinated.

For his first post-Writers’ Strike guest, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel welcomed Arnold Schwarzenegger to discuss his favorite topic: Donald Trump’s weight. Schwarzenegger would also insist that he is still a Republican by offering up left-wing causes such as climate activism and “universal health care” as reasons why.

The men of late night returned from the writers’ strike on Monday and other than CBS’s Stephen Colbert no longer censoring Donald Trump’s name, not much changed as the hosts were eager to get back to their Trump jokes.

As the late night comedy shows remain on strike, former late night host Conan O’Brien joined Kara Swisher of New York Magazine on her podcast to discuss the future of the format. During their long discussion, O’Brien argued that Trump and the angry reaction to him from current comedy hosts “hurt comedy.”

The late night comedy shows may be on strike which means they’ve had to go four months without offering up their hot takes on the news which they sought the remedy on the Thursday’s edition of their Strike Force Five podcast. When asked which news story he regrets not being able to cover, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel naturally chose Donald Trump.

With the Writers Guild of America going on strike, it is likely that America has seen the last of the first half of 2023’s late night comedy shows. Whether America wants them to return is another question as 95 percent of their guests were liberal, a NewsBusters study has documented.

The Monday news media news surrounding Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon provided the late night comedy shows a golden opportunity to show they aren’t just liberal partisans. However, they would fail this test as individual jokes about Carlson outnumbered jokes about Lemon 32-to-2 with five additional jokes about both men.

Jimmy Kimmel may never stop apologizing for making bikini models bounce on trampolines.

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! conducted a series of man-on-the-street interviews for Thursday’s how where a reporter asked a series of men questions about women’s bodies that they naturally did not know the answers to. The point was not just to laugh at men who can’t identify cat toys or confuse the rectum for the ovaries, but to attack pro-lifers.

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel took time out of his Wednesday monologue to attack a college student who attended a recent Mike Pence speech at the University of Alabama for daring to be fearful that Democrats are redefining what it means to be a woman. For Kimmel, the concern highlights why university should “have another look at the minimum GPA required” for admission.

The following are just a few of the ugliest attacks on conservatives from liberal journalists and celebrities in the last month. 

For the late night comedy show hosts and their audiences, the Thursday indictment of former President Trump was more of a chance to enjoy a cathartic experience than anything else. However, buried beneath their joy was the sense that they haven’t completely thought through the ramifications.
