In a recent episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, host Jimmy Kimmel didn’t hold back in his critiques and jokes. He started off by mentioning that it’s the first official day of spring and how people in LA experience four seasons – spring, summer, awards, and flu. Kimmel then dived into some interesting news, revealing that according to the annual World Happiness Report, Americans are less happy than ever, ranking 24th on the happiest list.
But that wasn’t the only news to discuss. Kimmel went on to talk about President Donald Trump‘s shocking executive order to dismantle the Department of Education. While it may seem like a joke, Trump famously said he loves the poorly educated, and now it seems like he will have even more people to love. The executive order aims to let states come up with their own educational standards, and Kimmel humorously suggested that completing a maze on the back of a kids menu at a restaurant would be enough to receive a high school diploma in Florida.
Kimmel then shifted gears to discuss the Department of Defense’s removal of information about influential figures like Jackie Robinson and the Tuskegee Airmen from their website. This sparked backlash, forcing the Pentagon to restore the removed content. Kimmel humorously questioned how someone could be racist against Jackie Robinson and criticized the decision to remove these essential parts of history.
The talk show host didn’t leave any stones unturned, moving on to share some amusing moments related to former President Trump’s recent interview with Laura Ingraham. Noting their similar hairstyles, Kimmel joked about Trump’s confusion over power buttons on laptops, mentioning that his son Baron has an impressive aptitude for technology.
But the talk show wasn’t all jokes and punchlines. Kimmel didn’t shy away from addressing the recent drama surrounding Tesla. He mentioned that the company issued a recall for nearly all 46,000 of their cyber trucks, which marked the eighth recall since their release. While no one should be setting things on fire, Kimmel humorously pointed out that people are upset with Elon Musk for putting thousands of Americans out of work, including veterans.
Surprisingly, the MAGA (Make America Great Again) supporters, who have been against violent protests since January 2021, expressed their outrage over Tesla’s recalls, labeling it as a Tesla takedown. Kimmel humorously suggested that maybe it’s time to go full-on Kyle Rittenhouse-style security to protect Teslas from potential harm.
The article concludes with a mention of Vice President Kamala Harris‘s appearance on the show, where she criticized Kimmel and his audience for cheering at the sight of Teslas on fire. Kimmel responded by highlighting that the town hall meeting in Laramie, Wyoming, demonstrated the frustration of Americans with the current state of affairs and politicians not listening to their constituents.
Overall, the episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live was filled with humor, witty remarks, and insightful commentary on current events, revealing Kimmel’s ability to entertain while discussing serious issues. Whether it was mocking Trump’s executive order, questioning the removal of historical information, or joking about Tesla’s recalls, Kimmel kept his audience engaged throughout the show.
