On a recent episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, the talk show host hilariously addressed the latest news making headlines. Kimmel started by joking about his Thanksgiving experience, mentioning the diverse culinary choices that were part of his holiday feast. He then segued into discussing Cyber Monday, highlighting the growing trend of online shopping with smartphones.
Moving on to the weekend’s events, Kimmel mentioned the snowstorm in Buffalo, where fans braved the harsh weather to watch a football game. He also took the opportunity to poke fun at former President Donald Trump and his Thanksgiving celebration at Mar-a-Lago, which included his new best friend, Elon Musk.
The highlight of the episode, however, was Kimmel’s take on the surprising news of President Joe Biden potentially pardoning his son, Hunter Biden, for federal tax and firearm charges. Kimmel humorously compared the situation to Trump’s own pardons, citing the example of Trump pardoning his son-in-law’s father, who had been involved in a scandalous incident.
Kimmel also pointed out the right-wing media’s outrage over the potential pardon, highlighting their hypocrisy given Trump’s own controversial pardons. Despite the controversy, Kimmel humorously speculated about what this pardon might mean for Hunter Biden‘s Christmas presents from his dad.
The talk show host brilliantly highlighted the back-and-forth arguments surrounding the pardon, poking fun at both sides of the political spectrum. He also couldn’t resist mentioning Trump’s new senior adviser on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs, who happened to be his daughter Tiffany’s father-in-law.
Kimmel further ridiculed Trump’s choice of Cash Patel to run the FBI, emphasizing Patel’s lack of qualifications and his absurd writing of three children’s books about Trump, including one where Trump is portrayed as a king.
Adding a touch of humor, Kimmel also discussed the White House Christmas decorations, sarcastically comparing previous themes under Trump’s administration to this year’s theme of “peace and light.”
To wrap up the lively episode, Kimmel playfully highlighted the ongoing tradition of Elf on the Shelf and the recent release of a controversial spin-off called “Tiny Tim Walls,” poking fun at Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff.
As always, Jimmy Kimmel Live kept viewers entertained with its witty takes on current events and hilarious commentary on politics and pop culture.
