Jimmy Kimmel claims he received an executive order to not read Donald Trump’s social media posts at the 2024 Oscars, but he went ahead and did it anyway.
As we previously reported, Donald Trump shared a message to his Truth Social platform and spoke on how he didn’t like Jimmy Kimmel as a host. Kimmel read the social posts on live television in front of the audience which read: “Has there ever been a worse host than Jimmy Kimmel at The Oscars. His opening was that of a less than average person trying too hard to be something which he is not, and never can be. Get rid of Kimmel and perhaps replace him with another washed up, but cheap, ABC ‘talent,’ George Slopanopoulos. He would make everybody on stage look bigger, stronger, and more glamorous. Blah. Blah. Blah. Make America Great Again.”
Which led Kimmel to respond by saying, “I’m surprised you’re still [up] — isn’t it past your jail time?” After Kimmel’s comments the footage quickly made rounds on social media. In a new interview on Monday, the Oscars host spoke with Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos and revealed that he was told to not read the social media posts.
“They’re like, ‘You’ve got a little bit of time’ and I was like, ‘I’m reading the Trump tweet,’ and they’re like, ‘No, no, don’t read that,'” Kimmel said with a laugh, though he didn’t clarify who told him not to bring up Trump’s note. “[I was like] ‘Yes, I am.’”
Too bad Jimmy Kimmel just had to bring politics into this lame show. This is why the ratings are so low. No one watches because they don’t care what Hollywood has to say about politics. These people have no clue what the average person in America is dealing with. They need to stop or people will turn them off. Oh, that’s what they are doing! Hello?
Agreed
And does Trump really know what’s affecting the average American citizen? Does he even understand what the average American sacrifices going from. paycheck to paycheck? He most certainly DOES NOT!!
Hell yes President Trump knows. It’s your Vietnam draft-dodger white boy Biden that doesn’t .
Oh, that’s funny coming from a supporter of Candidate Bone Spurs!
As if con artist Trump wasn’t a draft dodger.
Trump was a draft dodger. In fact he repeatedly says how the military are dupes.
Uh? Trump had “bone spurs” diagnosed from one of his father’s tenants.
Her Roy…Don’t you know about “bone spurs” Trump’s draft doddering?
“In the fall of 1968, Donald J. Trump received a timely diagnosis of bone spurs in his heels that led to his medical exemption from the military during Vietnam. For 50 years, the details of how the exemption came about, and who made the diagnosis, have remained a mystery.”
Hey sparky, lay off the orange clown LOSER juice. You lie, just like your demented clan leader. Your swamped with facts but Nooooo, all you do is spew BS. Vote BLUE son.
Damn right… “BS” stands for trumps spew from his(we all thought the orange was his crappy choice of spray tan) now we know it’s flabby because of the puffy orange Cheeto on his face or the BS might stand for “Bone Spurs”!!! lol…
Bone spurs… lmfao… nuff said I guess…
Who the draft dodger ? I think it’s the orange faced Trump who is the dodger . spurs my azz
Agree 100%
Do you think Biden does. I’m surprised he finds his way fro his bedroom to the bathroom.
You couldn’t handle 1/2 the requirements he handles on the daily! Much less his travel schedule. 🤔
Biden2024 💙👏🏼🌊
very true!
Kimmel has done nothing but bash Trump, even before he was our President. So for almost 9 yrs he has put Trump down. So I say to hell with Kimmel. Now we do have a President, people laugh at and Kimmy is quiet. Trump 2024 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Trump is the laughing stock of the US. You need to finish elementary school so you will understand just how ridiculous you sound trying to put trump over Biden. You sound like you’re proud of your pedophile. Grow up and for God’s sake stop listening to trump and quit drinking that orange foolaid. Biden for President 2024.
Couldn’t have said it better 100%agree with you
Yessss! Trump for prison2024!!!!
Can’t run the Oval Office from the grey bar hotel… maybe if he ends up with any money left over he might get his name plate off of the former trump towers after New York sells it t to th highest bidder after they seize it, but it will go at a loss of course, he won’t be able to overinflate it’s value just like he lies about the size of everything he has… then they might hang the name above his Cell block instead of cell block “D” which we know he will ask for personally… then when he finds out no one finds him attractive enough to give him what he’s hoping for… it will be trump “little d” tower… other inmates might laugh and sell their story of the shower finally solidifying the assumption as to why he has those tiny hands and feet to match his tiny pickle…
Last I heard these actors pay taxes just like we all do. And if trump thinks he can dish out his bs while the show is on then Jimmy has the right to make him pay for it. Well done Jimmy and keep up the good work.
Pretty sure it wasn’t politics. He took an opportunity to address his critic which most actors don’t get to do. As for Trump, if you want to play you gotta pay. It’s not his job to tell Hollywood who to hire and fire.
They are AMERICANS and have EVERY RIGHT like any other American does to voice their opinion !!! Turn the channel if you don’t like it! I’m pretty sure you are in the lil Donnie cult
Ha, ha……. but you are so wrong. 19.5 million people watched and the ratings were better than the previous 4 years 👏🏼
I love @jimmykimmel @jimmykimmellive I have been a fan since he was on KROQ in LA. Jimmy is funny & real!
He is brave to take on the orange guy & his cult followers’s, he is definitely on the right side of History 👏🏼💙
Susan, Susan, susan….this is an election year and in case you forgot your ridiculous candidate is not important enough to be included that’s why he had to “include” himself in the narrative. Get a life and please, get a real candidate!
Kimmel is an idiot his jokes were not laughed at .. and his demeaning unnecessary descriptions of Robert Downy Jr. Robert De Niro and horrific jokes about Emma stone’s Poor Things and hailey beiber were not only unwarranted but in poor taste… and he so needed to make it political against trump
You might not like his jokes, but one thing for certain, he didn’t have sex with a porn star while his wife was taking care of their newborn child, and then paid to hush her upo
You are just jealous because you were not asked to host
Great job, Jimmy and a wonderful show!!!!
trump cultusts, don’t be mad that Kimmel SLAYED with a genius one-libe ad lib…it was brilliant, and I was in tears laughing…
Oh, the Trump cultists have just never learned to laugh at themselves. Good thing, because they’d never be able to stop!
you’re an idiot. I think you got it backwards…President Biden, served this country, while tangerine face had ‘bone spurs.’ I had flat feet and spurs, but still I served my country. TRUMP is a vile bag of bones, wasting oxygen.
Agree all the way.
Thank you for serving our country.
Trump is a liar, an idiot, a cheating spouse and full of hot air. It is not so much Trump who scares me, but the huge majority of people who support him and who are therefore complete and utter idiots – this is what perturbs me the most. We all need to pray hard that Trump does not serve another disastrous 4 years destroying this great country.
Trump is the guy who got a medical because he had his Dr write him a note. He had a bone spur.
