Jimmy Kimmel Names ‘Embarrassing’ Member Of Trump ‘Crime Family’

“That is basically what these people are, a crime family,” Kimmel said. “A very dumb crime family. The Gambozos, if you will.” Trump Jr. was heading into court in the civil fraud trial in New York, where he testified that his father is “an artist” when it comes to real estate. “Yeah, he’s an artist,” Kimmel sarcastically agreed. “He’s Vincent Van Gogh-ing To Jail.” Kimmel called the son of the former president “so embarrassing,” and spotted an interview in which Trump attorney Alina Habba referred to Trump Jr. and brother Eric Trump ― both executive vice presidents in the company ― as “boys” and “kids.” “That’s right, they’re just boys. They’re kids. Eric has a book report due this weekend,” Kimmel said. “They’re both still wearing pull-ups.” See more in his Monday night monologue: ...

Jimmy Kimmel Drags Ted Cruz’s New Book In Most Fabulous Way

Jimmy Kimmel recruited “RuPaul’s Drag Race” star Trixie Mattel to mockingly promote Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-Texas) new book “Unwoke” on Thursday.Kimmel thought his longtime foe’s new written effort could do with some extra promotion following reports the senator’s campaign spent $150,000 on copies of a previous tome.Trixie Mattel held a “Drag Queen Storytime” ― the concept of which is a flashpoint in the conservative culture wars ― with some children, who yawned and appeared bored during a passage in which Cruz whined about “woke, Neo-Marxist ideas.”A fake excerpt explained the real reason Cruz ditched Texas for Cancun amid a deadly winter storm.“We learned nothing today,” one child said.Trixie later gave them all copies of “Unwoke” to take home, which they promptly dumped in the trash.Watch t...

Jimmy Kimmel Gives Trump Warning Only He Can Understand

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel gave Donald Trump a warning on terms the former president can understand better than anyone.“The ketchup on the walls is closing in,” he said.Kimmel noted that Trump just asked to delay his trial over the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection until after the 2024 election.“In fact, he’s trying to delay all his trials,” Kimmel pointed out. “He’s a real delay-hole, this guy.” Kimmel has predicted prison for Trump before ― and did so again on Tuesday when he referred to him as “future incarceree.” Check it out in his monologue:

Jimmy Kimmel Corrects Eric Trump’s Courtroom Testimony

“Things got off to a slow start when they asked Eric to raise his right hand,” Kimmel joked. “He couldn’t figure it out.” Kimmel noted that the son of the former president had little to say when asked about Trump Organization finances.That drew a laugh from Kimmel. “He’s a construction guy like the guy in the Village People is a construction guy,” Kimmel said. “He owns a yellow hat.” See more in his Thursday night monologue:

The judge warned that future violations could even lead to jail time, but Kimmel said he had a better idea. “If you really want to shut Trump up, you don’t threaten him with jail time or fines. Threaten him with Eric time,” he said, referring to one of Trump’s adult sons. “Trust me: Put him in a room with Eric, he’ll clam up like he’s at a brunch with Melania.” See more in his Thursday night monologue: !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod? n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n; n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0; t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,document,'script','https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/...

Jimmy Kimmel Drafts Up 1 Brutal Jab For Trump Over House Speaker Talk

“Did he say draft? Don’t use the word draft, it gives Trump bone spurs,” said the late-night host in a reference to the alleged bone spurs that kept the former president out of military service in the Vietnam War.Kimmel, who noted that the Constitution doesn’t say that the speaker has to be a member of Congress, tossed to a clip of Trump who didn’t rule out the possibility of taking the job on Wednesday.“Although, I guess in some ways it makes sense, Republicans need a speaker and the way things are going right now in court, pretty soon Trump might need a house,” Kimmel quipped.You can watch more of Kimmel’s monologue from Wednesday below. !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod? n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f...

Jimmy Kimmel Fires Back At Trump’s Late-Night Insult

And earlier this week, he denounced the shows as they returned to TV after a five-month writers strike. “Now that the ‘strike’ is over, the talentless, low rated CREEPS of Late Night Television are back,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social website. “I knew there was a reason I didn’t want to see it settled - True LOSERS!!!”Kimmel fired back with a reminder of the former president’s current problems. “I love that with everything he’s got going on ― running for president, 91 felony charges, a $250 million fraud trial ― he still finds time to watch his favorite late-night shows and tantrum about them,” Kimmel said. But he did give the former president some credit. “In fairness, you can’t really argue with him. The man really does know talentless loser creeps. In fact, he fathered two of them,” ...

Trump Throws Middle-Of-The-Night Tantrum Over Late Shows

The late-night shows returned to television on Monday for the first time in five months, and it seems at least one former president was watching. “Now that the “strike” is over, the talentless, low rated CREEPS of Late Night Television are back,” Donald Trump ranted on his Truth Social website. “I knew there was a reason I didn’t want to see it settled - True LOSERS!!!” In another post, he called them “poorly rated and not at all funny” and claimed the shows were a “major” campaign contribution to Democrats. “Watch what is going on,” he wrote. “So interesting!”Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel and Seth Meyers were all back on the air on Monday after the resolution of the five-month-long writers strike, and all were heavy with jokes about Trump. Jimmy Fallon also returned to TV, although Trump...
