Jimmy Kimmel Live

When the late night comedy shows took to the air on Monday to lament Donald Trump’s return to the presidency, three main themes emerged. The first was that Trump is going to be a national nightmare. The second was that they have gone all in on embracing former President Joe Biden’s “oligarchy” warnings. Finally, it was deemed ironic that Inauguration Day happened to fall on Martin Luther King…

From the beginning of June through the end of December, the late night comedy shows welcomed 120 liberal guests and only one conservative, according to a new NewsBusters study.

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel did not take kindly to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s Tuesday announcement that he is ditching the company’s relationship with its fact-checking partners. Naturally, Kimmel assumed that if a self-appointed fact-checker says something is true, it must be true, as he compared the move to a taco restaurant getting rid of health inspectors and declared the truth “as we know it” is…

After a strike-shortened 2023, 2024 was a busy year for the late night comedians. During the last year, the men of late night told a total of 13,676 political jokes, of which 11,226, or 82 percent, were directed at someone or something on the right side of the political aisle, an MRC study has found.

For people 35 and under, Monday was the first time in their lifetime that a Republican presidential election victory was certified by Congress with zero Democratic objections, but in their 2025 debuts, the late night comedians wanted to claim that Monday’s proceedings showed Republicans how the transfer of power is supposed to be done.

Now, it can be told. President Joe Biden wasn’t capable of discharging his duties as Commander in Chief for large swathes of his single-term presidency. New reporting from The Wall Street Journal shared some, but not all, of the shocking details.

Being an election year, 2024 gave the late night comedians an extra incentive to pile on the liberal advocacy. However, there was more to 2024 than just the presidential election, so from the Supreme Court to foreign affairs to the election and everything in-between, here is a David Letterman-style top ten list of the worst moments from the past year from the late night comedy shows.

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel reported on his Tuesday show that several members of his staff have become infatuated with UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s alleged murderer. During his monologue, Kimmel read several text exchanges between the staff and their friends and family, including ones who promised to bake him cookies and those who desperately wanted to get on the jury.

In his past life, Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth did some things he is not proud of but insists that he is a different man today. Instead of celebrating Hegseth’s transformation, the late night comedians mocked his pledge not to drink on the job on their Wednesday shows and attacked his mom for defending him.

CBS’s host of The Late Show, Stephen Colbert, and ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel were displeased on their Tuesday shows that some people are still criticizing President Joe Biden for pardoning his son, Hunter. For both men, the re-election of Donald Trump makes such criticisms moot.

The men of late night comedy struggled on their Monday shows to reconcile their support for President Joe Biden and his decision to pardon his son, Hunter. Some hosts decided to make the story about Republicans, while others made more “Biden is old” quips, while others welcomed the news, but hoped Democrats would apply the logic behind it to ordinary people too.

The Daily Show might have the week off, but correspondent and rotating host Ronny Chieng found himself on ABC’s Tuesday taping of Jimmy Kimmel Live! recalling Election Night, which he compared to watching a slow-motion car crash. Likewise, he longed for a conservativism that is not populated with “[bleep] morons.”

Some liberals have reacted to Donald Trump’s victory by ensuring that they will not be able to reproduce. While some may find that odd or even humorous, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel had a different take, as he claimed it said something about Trump.

Comedian Wanda Sykes traveled to ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday to demand that Donald Trump and Republicans “shut up” and “relax” about transgender ideology being pushed on children.
