Jimmy Kimmel has once again answered Donald Trump, and he did it with the same calm humor that has become his signature. The late-night host opened his show with a warm greeting to “those watching from the White House.” His smile made it clear that he knew exactly who he was talking to.
Kimmel shared that he woke up to his wife telling him that Trump had posted about him again. Trump had demanded that Kimmel should be taken off the air. Kimmel joked that he simply said “Oh,” then went downstairs to make breakfast for his kids. His relaxed tone set the stage for the rest of the night.
Trump’s message was harsh. He questioned why ABC kept Kimmel on TV. He called him a man with no talent and poor ratings. He also accused ABC of biased coverage. Trump finished his post with a loud demand to remove Kimmel from television. Kimmel read the message to his audience and once again called Trump “the angry orange,” which made the crowd laugh.
This clash comes after Kimmel’s show was briefly taken off the air in September. That moment started a strong fight between both sides. Trump and FCC Chairman Brendan Carr pushed for more action. Kimmel received support from viewers, celebrities, and even Disney+ subscribers who said they would cancel their accounts if Kimmel did not return.
In the same episode, Kimmel also spoke about Trump’s new comments targeting six members of Congress who served in the military or intelligence community. Trump accused them of seditious behavior and suggested that such actions were punishable by death. Kimmel called these statements worrying. He joked that Trump typed the message with so much anger that even his capital letters seemed louder than usual.
Kimmel ended by saying he would step aside only when Trump does. His final line showed confidence and a sense of calm strength.
