Unlike other late night talk show hosts, ABC's Jimmy Kimmel actually covered the latest news from Special Counsel John Durham on his Tuesday show, but he only did so to mock those who actually care about the allegations.
Leading into a clip of Eric Trump on Hannity, Kimmel declared: "Trump's terrible kids are making the rounds, desperately trying to protect the golden goose. Last night, Eric took time out of his busy schedule to promote this made-up Hillary Clinton spying case they're now pumping into the Fox News viewers' soft, oatmeal-like brains."
In the clip, an impassioned Eric pointed out the hypocrisy of the situation, "Hillary Rodham Clinton is a New York resident, let me just, kind of, you know, break that down for you. She lives in Chappaqua, New York, and guess where Trump Tower is located? It’s located on Fifth Avenue in New York. Where are these prosecutors? Where is the D.A.? Isn't that a federal -- isn't that a, you know, isn’t that fraud? Isn't that all sorts of offenses?"
After a mocking imitation of Eric Trump, Kimmel stumbled upon what he considered an important revelation: "I never noticed what a voice he -- why is Ivanka's voice more masculine than Eric’s? High Pitch Eric, you know. If you want to know where the prosecutors are, the answer is gathering evidence against your grifter father, that's where they are."
Kimmel's derision towards others was not complete as he next decided to mock not just Sarah Palin, but Alaskans generally:
A Manhattan judge and jury today rejected Sarah Palin's lawsuit against the New York Times, they said there wasn't enough evidence to prove the Times defamed her in an editorial they published in 2017. So I guess she traveled all that way on her dogsled for nothing. I have to say, between the elections and the lawsuits and The Masked Singer, Sarah Palin is one of the most versatile losers in history. She's got range.
If Kimmel thinks that Alaskans don't know what airplanes or cars are, then he is the one with an oatmeal brain.

JIMMY KIMMEL: Meanwhile, Trump's terrible kids are making the rounds, desperately trying to protect the golden goose. Last night, Eric took time out of his busy schedule to promote this made-up Hillary Clinton spying case they're now pumping into the Fox News viewers' soft, oatmeal-like brains.
ERIC TRUMP: Hillary Rodham Clinton is a New York resident, let me just, kind of, you know, break that down for you. She lives in Chappaqua, New York, and guess where Trump Tower is located? It’s located on Fifth Avenue in New York. Where are these prosecutors? Where is the D.A.? Isn't that a federal -- isn't that a, you know, isn’t that fraud? Isn't that all sorts of offenses?
KIMMEL: Uh, uh, all sorts of offenses? I don't know. I never noticed what a voice he-- why is Ivanka's voice more masculine than Eric’s? High Pitch Eric, you know. If you want to know where the prosecutors are, the answer is gathering evidence against your grifter father, that's where they are. And Trump isn’t—isn’t the only prominent member of the Magaverse having legal troubles. A Manhattan judge and jury today rejected Sarah Palin's lawsuit against the New York Times, they said there wasn't enough evidence to prove the Times defamed her in an editorial they published in 2017. So I guess she traveled all that way on her dogsled for nothing.
