The latest episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live” was anything but boring. From a ridiculous lawsuit to a bigly fine and even a surprise sneaker appearance, there was no shortage of entertainment.
Let’s start with the lawsuit. George Santos, a man previously kicked out of Congress for fraud, is now suing Jimmy Kimmel for, you guessed it, fraud. Santos claims that Kimmel and the show deceived him by soliciting personalized videos on the Cameo website, only to broadcast them on national television. Santos thought the messages were from real fans, but one of them congratulated Kimmel’s mom Brenda on the successful cloning of her beloved SCH snower Adolf. It’s safe to say that these messages were far from genuine. Santos is seeking $750,000 in damages, and Kimmel is setting up a GoFundMe to help reach that target.
In other news, former President Donald Trump had a rough President’s Day weekend. He was hit with a massive fine of $355 million in New York. The judge also banned him from doing business in the state for three years, and his sons Eric and Don Jr. were hit with a $4 million fine each. The judge criticized the Trump family’s lack of contrition and remorse, stating that it bordered on pathological. Trump, of course, had some strong words in response, calling the judge crooked and claiming that he had done a perfect job. Supporters have even started GoFundMe accounts to help him pay the penalty.
But Trump wasn’t just dealing with legal troubles over the weekend. He also made an appearance at Sneaker Con in Philadelphia to sell his new line of high-top sneakers. The “Never Surrender” high tops go for $399 a pair, and according to Trump, they are bold, gold, and tough, just like him. The limited-edition sneakers drew a big crowd, and Trump seemed thrilled with the turnout. He also released his own cologne, called “Trump Victory 47,” with a golden head. It’s safe to say that our former president knows how to make a statement.
While Trump was busy selling shoes and cologne, he still found time to criticize his opponent, President Joe Biden. At a rally in Detroit, Trump stumbled over the name “Biden,” instead calling it “Byrant.” He then proceeded to ask the crowd if they considered themselves sneakerheads. The whole situation seemed more like a joke than a serious campaign event.
With all the drama surrounding Trump and his legal battles, it’s clear that this President’s Day weekend was anything but calm. From lawsuits and fines to sneakers and cologne, there was no shortage of entertainment. As always, “Jimmy Kimmel Live” delivered a lively and entertaining episode that left viewers wanting more.
