On a recent episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, host Jimmy Kimmel kicked off the show with some Thanksgiving week humor. He mentioned that with about five weeks left of the year, it’s the time when end-of-year lists are made. He informed viewers that dictionary.com had chosen its Word of the Year, and it turned out to be “demure.” Jimmy jokingly expressed his surprise because he hadn’t used that word even once. He then attributed its popularity to a TikTok user named Jules LeBron, who made it trendy.
Moving on to a different topic, Jimmy informed the audience that Lauren Bobert, a member of Congress, joined the website Cameo. He humorously questioned what she would be doing there instead of focusing on her responsibilities. Lauren Bobert made history as the first sitting member of Congress to join Cameo, offering personalized messages for a price. However, as quickly as she joined, she mysteriously disappeared from the platform.
Jimmy went on to explore the variety of MAGA grifter personalities he found on Cameo, including Cory Lewandowski, Matt Gaetz, and former members of Trump’s team. He amusingly pointed out the presence of two George Santos accounts – regular George Santos and George in drag as qara ravage.
Switching gears once more, Jimmy discussed Donald Trump‘s tariff plan. The former president had proposed a 25% tax on products entering the US from Mexico and Canada, along with an additional 10% tariff on Chinese products. Jimmy pointed out that such tariffs ultimately end up being paid by American companies and, subsequently, consumers. He humorously quipped about expecting $40 avocados as a result.
While Trump was menacing neighboring countries, President Biden planned to celebrate Thanksgiving with his family in Nantucket. Jimmy playfully remarked that Biden had been celebrating Thanksgiving in Massachusetts ever since his buddy Santo introduced him to Maize back in 1621.
Touching on the holiday spirit, Jimmy mentioned that some world leaders, including Vladimir Putin, were getting into the holiday mood. Putin reportedly gifted more than 70 animals to the Pyongyang zoo, with the unfortunate outcome being that the animals were promptly eaten upon their arrival.
As millions of Americans prepared to travel back to their family homes for Thanksgiving, Jimmy acknowledged that spending time with family can be challenging. He shared health officials’ tips on how to navigate potentially controversial conversations during the holiday, such as setting expectations, avoiding reactive confrontation, and practicing self-care.
In closing, Jimmy reminded viewers of the importance of gratitude. While this year may be difficult for many, he encouraged everyone to reflect on everything they are thankful for. As the show came to an end, the cast and crew expressed their gratitude for their loved ones, co-workers, and audience members, leaving everyone with warm wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving.
So, there you have it – another lively and entertaining episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, filled with humor, celebrity mentions, and Thanksgiving-themed discussions.
