Jimmy Kimmel couldn’t let go of the reins at the 2024 Academy Awards without sharing President Donald Trump’s review of his hosting ability, much of which left the crowd laughing at the comedian over his dismal performance.
In an extended monologue, Kimmel read and commented on a Truth Social post by Trump ripping the late night host for giving an uninspiring showing at the show’s 96th annual showing.
“I’m really proud of something,” said Kimmel, pulling out his phone to read Trump’s salvo.
“‘Has there ever been a worse host than Jimmy Kimmel at the Oscars?’” he read from Truth Social. “‘His opening was that of a less-than-average person who is trying too hard to be something which he is not and never can be,’” prompting massive laughter from the audience.
“‘Get rid of Kimmel and replace him with another washed-up but cheap ABC “talent” George Slopanopolous,” he continued. “Blah blah blah, Make America Great Again.”
