In the latest episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, the talk show host served up a hilarious and entertaining evening of laughs and celebrity interviews. From Donald Trump‘s complaints about lack of airtime to the endorsement of “Cancun” Cruz, this episode did not disappoint.
The show kicked off with Kimmel’s witty monologue, addressing the cold weather that has been sweeping the country. Kimmel joked about the unusual weather patterns, coming up with comical terms like “snow boners” and reminiscing about crazy hair days. He even shared a funny story about a man in Portland finding his toilet frozen solid. All in all, Kimmel’s monologue set the tone for an entertaining evening.
Moving on to political news, Kimmel couldn’t resist commenting on Trump’s recent complaints about lack of airtime. Trump expressed his frustration with NBC and CNN for not airing his victory speech after the Iowa caucuses. Kimmel humorously pointed out that Trump’s third-place opponent, Nikki Haley, was given airtime, and his runner-up, Ronda Santos, was dubbed boring. Kimmel couldn’t help but sarcastically remark that it’s quite amusing to see Trump complaining about not getting enough coverage on television.
In a surprising twist, Ted “Cancun” Cruz, who had a bitter history with Trump in the past, endorsed him. Kimmel wasted no time in mocking this unlikely alliance, humorously comparing it to a “tick endorsing lime disease.” Kimmel also joked about Trump’s law-abiding nature when Trump mentioned that he had to leave the White House because people voted to evict him.
The show took a humorous turn with a video that compared Trump to a caretaker chosen by God. Using AI technology to recreate the voice of Paul Harvey, the video portrayed Trump as a diligent worker who fights the “Deep State” and delivers his own grandchild. The satirical video left Kimmel and the audience both entertained and bemused.
Kimmel couldn’t resist poking fun at the age of the candidates in the upcoming election. With Trump and Biden both in their seventies, some people have suggested implementing age limits for political office. Kimmel humorously pointed out that, compared to 90-year-old Chuck Grassley, who has been engaging in an amusing Twitter feud with the History Channel, Trump and Biden are spring chickens.
In sports news, the LA Clippers are introducing technology that tracks how much fans cheer during games. Clippers owner Steve Balmer shared his excitement about turning the stadium into the “ultimate basketball experience” and even teasing fans with discounts for exuberant cheering. Kimmel jokingly compared the Clippers’ reward system to his mom paying other kids to come to his birthday party, highlighting the absurdity of rewarding fans for cheering loudly.
The show wrapped up with a segment on COVID-19, as the studio was filled with the virus. Kimmel discussed a new subvariant causing a surge of infections, despite being milder. While tens of thousands of people are still getting sick and dying from the virus, the CDC emphasized the importance of awareness to stay safe. Kimmel lightheartedly introduced the CDC message, injecting humor into the seriousness of the topic.
In true Jimmy Kimmel fashion, this episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live delivered an entertaining mix of political satire, celebrity humor, and witty commentary. From Trump’s complaints to unexpected endorsements and amusing segments, the talk show left viewers thoroughly entertained and looking forward to the next episode of laugh-out-loud entertainment.
