Jimmy Kimmel Live

It was a week of ridiculing Republicans for the men of late night comedy. From Monday to Thursday, the comedians attacked Republicans as racist, cult-like drones and told more jokes about VP-nominee JD Vance in one week than they have about current VP Kamala Harris all year.

During the Wednesday taping of ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Anthony Anderson showed why he was selected to guest host during the week of the Republican National Convention as he compared the GOP to the Ku Klux Klan while labeling the party “fascists.”

Due to filming schedules, not all late night comedy shows are reacting live to the Republican National Convention which means that ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! guest host Anthony Anderson was reacting to night one on Tuesday when he labeled Sen. Tim Scott an “Uncle Tom” for his speech in support of Donald Trump on Monday.

Seth Meyers, NBC’s host of Late Night, solemnly reacted on Monday to the Saturday attempted assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump by appropriately denouncing political violence, but inappropriately blaming the situation on the lack of gun control in America and accusing Republicans of making things worse in the aftermath of the shooting.

After a couple of weeks of vacation, the full slate of late night comedy shows returned on Monday to reveal their reactions to President Joe Biden’s poor debate performance and subsequent interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos. While nobody called for Biden to step aside, there were definitely calls for him to step up his game because democracy is allegedly at stake.

In the nine months since the end of the writers’ strike, the late night comedy shows have remained remarkably consistent, as a NewsBusters study determined 94 percent of their political guests have been liberal.

Unlike Jon Stewart, Jimmy Kimmel Live! guest host Martin Short did not react to Thursday’s Trump-Biden debate live, and from the perspective of ABC’s liberal audience, maybe that was a good thing because Short’s previously recorded rendition of Cranky Doodle, mocking Trump, would help them cope with Biden’s bad performance.

Who are you going to believe, your eyes or a paid propagandist?

During a rare Friday edition of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the eponymous ABC host celebrated former President Donald Trump’s birthday by announcing that he donated to Planned Parenthood in Trump’s name and recalling his top 78 nicknames for Trump, which led him to admit, “Maybe we do have Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

All five of the late night comedy talk show hosts managed to acknowledge the existence of Hunter Biden’s guilty verdict on their Tuesday shows, but mentioning something is not the same thing as joking about it. Instead, the quintet used the verdict to go after Donald Trump, Republicans, and lament the lack of gun control in America.

As June rolls on, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel lamented on Wednesday that Pride Month gives conservatives an excuse to “spew poison.” Kimmel’s answer to this was to mock the conservative response to Peacock’s Queer Planet documentary with an ad for “The Straight Zoo,” complete with footage of gorilla and donkey sex.

Last election cycle, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel brought on his wife to sound a literal alarm that people need to vote for Democrats in order to save abortion. On Tuesday, he invited Vice President Kamala Harris to do the same. Throughout, Kimmel would put the ball on the tee for Harris while she would compare pro-lifers to molesters and slavers.

Monday provided many of the late night comedians with their first opportunities to react to former President Trump being found guilty in his New York trial. They invoked everything from advent calendars holding whiskey to Blu-ray recorders to bad Hunter Biden analogies to applaud the verdict and attack Republicans for condemning it.

During a rare Friday edition of his ABC show, legal non-expert Jimmy Kimmel asserted that Republicans who claim to be outraged at the conviction of former President Donald Trump are lying.
