In a recent episode of the popular talk show, “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” host Jimmy Kimmel wasted no time in delving into the latest news and happenings. From the highly-anticipated 97th Academy Awards nominations to the devastating wildfires in California, Kimmel covered it all with his signature wit and charm.
The show kicked off with Kimmel expressing his excitement about the Oscar nominations, highlighting the most nominated film of the year, “Amelia Perez.” Kimmel couldn’t resist making a humorous comparison, describing it as a musical about Caitlyn Jenner running a drug cartel. The host also mentioned some first-time acting nominees, including Demi Moore, Kieran Culen, Ariana Grande, Zoe Salana, and Sebastian Stan.
Despite the recent wildfires in California, Kimmel expressed his belief that the show must go on. He acknowledged the devastating month but reassured viewers that they were slowly getting back to what they do best – giving awards to movies no one has ever heard of or seen.
Speaking about the wildfires, Kimmel shared a funny anecdote. Multiple people approached him before the show, expressing concern that he might have to evacuate. However, Kimmel reassured everyone that he was a safe distance away from the fire and jokingly mentioned how GMO, one of the show’s crew members, lived just 30 minutes away from the blaze. Kimmel facetiously speculated that GMO’s concern was actually just a ploy to leave work early.
As President Trump planned a visit to California to survey the fire damage, Kimmel couldn’t help but criticize his response to the disaster. He called out Trump for threatening to withhold emergency aid if he didn’t receive what he wanted, referring to it as a despicable tactic.
Not one to shy away from politics, Kimmel touched on Trump’s executive orders, including one that would declassify files related to the assassinations of Presidents John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy, and Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. While some people awaited these revelations, Kimmel humorously quipped that we might discover that Joe Biden was responsible for JFK’s assassination.
Switching gears, Kimmel turned his attention to the Republican Congress and their subcommittee aimed at reinvestigating the events of January 6th. Kimmel sarcastically anticipated a year of “numskulls” trying to convince the public that Nancy Pelosi had pooped in her own desk.
Towards the end of the show, Kimmel poked fun at the bias in right-wing media, highlighting how even when it came to Christianity, some individuals ranked Trump higher than the Pope. He also playfully mentioned that the Bidens were in California, enjoying some relaxation time in Wine Country.
In his regular comedic fashion, Kimmel couldn’t resist taking a jab at Fox News, noting that at least 18 members of the network had been tapped by Trump for his administration. He jokingly remarked that this caused a shortage of on-air talent, leaving Fox News in a predicament.
As always, Jimmy Kimmel provided a lively and entertaining show, covering a wide range of topics while injecting his own brand of humor into the mix. Fans of “Jimmy Kimmel Live” can always count on him to make them laugh and keep them informed with his unique perspective on current events.
