In a recent episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, host Jimmy Kimmel didn’t hold back as he tackled some controversial and outrageous topics. With his signature comedic flair, Kimmel addressed the current state of consumer confidence, thanks to President Donald Trump‘s promises to lower prices and make America affordable again.
But as Kimmel pointed out, after 37 days in office, prices are not going down, and unfortunately, the famous restaurant chain Hooters might even be going out of business. Kimmel humorously lamented the potential loss of Hooters, joking that “Florida man cannot live on Waffle House alone.”
Adding fuel to the fire, Trump introduced the idea of a “gold card” for citizenship, which would allow wealthy individuals to bypass traditional immigration procedures by paying a fee of $5 million. Kimmel likened this idea to a casino’s customer rewards program, expressing that Trump seems to believe our immigration system should operate similarly.
Delving into the realm of absurdity, Kimmel also touched on a video posted on Trump’s official social media accounts that showcased a fictional establishment called Gaza Lago. The video depicted a strange world with bikini-clad men and lavish partying, prompting Kimmel to question who in their right mind would want to go there. He likened it to a cruise ship’s collision with Saddam Hussein’s house.
Kimmel further ridiculed Trump’s latest cabinet meeting, where the president embraced the idea of federal employees reporting on their work activities. This move resulted in widespread confusion and wasted hours, yet Trump saw it as an opportunity to determine if certain employees actually exist. Kimmel joked that Trump is searching for people who don’t exist, much like the search for Melania Trump’s presence.
Next on the list was Elon Musk, who made a special appearance at the cabinet meeting. Musk talked about usaid accidentally canceling Ebola prevention but swiftly restoring it. Kimmel quipped that mistakenly canceling Ebola prevention for a few days should calm everybody down.
Despite some rumored frustration among cabinet officials with Musk, Kimmel noted that none of them voiced dissent during the meeting. However, he humorously predicted that the first one to leave the cabinet would be Marco Rubio, while subtly mocking the other members for being part of an “adorable group of eunuchs.”
Ted Cruz, who hasn’t been in the limelight lately, made an appearance on the Hannity show, where he criticized Democrats for defending sex change surgeries in Guatemala. Kimmel took a swipe at Cruz’s apparent excitement about the issue, joking that someone got a little too excited about those surgeries.
Switching gears, Kimmel addressed the controversial decision to halt the addition of fluoride to Utah’s water supply. While some Utahns celebrate the change, Kimmel highlighted the risks and repercussions of removing fluoride. He used the example of Calgary, Canada, which removed fluoride in 2011 but spent millions to reintroduce it due to increased dental health problems.
Closing out the show, Kimmel proudly announced that the show had reached 20 million YouTube subscribers, and he encouraged viewers to help them continue to grow their audience.
In true Jimmy Kimmel fashion, the talk show host delivered a lively, entertaining episode that left his audience amused and informed. As always, Kimmel fearlessly tackled important issues with humor and wit, making Jimmy Kimmel Live a must-watch for late-night television enthusiasts.
