The ongoing feud between former U.S. President Donald Trump and late-night host Jimmy Kimmel resurfaced yet again, providing plenty of material for both sides. This time, Kimmel took to his platform on Jimmy Kimmel Live to address comments Trump made during an appearance on the Nelk Boys podcast. What followed was another round of witty exchanges, with both public figures playing off their well-established rivalry.
Trump’s Podcast Remarks
On the Nelk Boys podcast, Trump was asked about his thoughts on talk-show hosts. As expected, he didn’t hold back in his assessment. “First of all, they all have bad ratings,” Trump said, highlighting Greg Gutfeld as the top performer among them. When it came to Jimmy Kimmel, Trump was less complimentary, labeling him a “loser” and recalling, “I did Jimmy Kimmel. I did him a lot.”
Trump’s comments were a continuation of his long-standing criticism of late-night hosts, particularly Kimmel, whose comedic style has often targeted the former president and his policies.
Kimmel’s Quick-Witted Retort
Kimmel, never one to shy away from addressing Trump’s remarks, responded swiftly on his show. With his signature mix of humor and sarcasm, Kimmel questioned whether Trump had confused him with someone else, joking, “Maybe confusing me with Stormy Daniels? I don’t know.” He then fact-checked Trump’s claim, pointing out that in the show’s 22-year history, Trump had only appeared three times—not exactly a frequent guest by any standard.
In a playful comparison, Kimmel noted that even Mike ‘The Situation’ from Jersey Shore had been on the show more times than Trump, adding an extra layer of humor to the situation. Kimmel then went on to address another one of Trump’s claims—that Kimmel would meet him outside the studio every time he appeared. The comedian was quick to debunk this, clarifying that guests typically enter through the back alley, not the front sidewalk.
Kimmel, of course, couldn’t resist adding one final punchline. The only time he ever walked out to greet Trump on the sidewalk? To “urinate on his star on the Walk of Fame,” he quipped, delivering the kind of sharp humor that has long defined his interactions with Trump.
Kimmel’s Unusual Invitation
As if the verbal sparring wasn’t enough, Kimmel wrapped up his monologue with a light-hearted challenge. He extended an open invitation to Trump to return to Jimmy Kimmel Live, but only under one condition: that Trump take a cognitive test against Vice President Kamala Harris. With characteristic comedic flair, Kimmel promised to roll out the “burnt orange carpet” for Trump if he accepted.
The offer was a playful jab at Trump’s previous comments about cognitive tests, and it served as a fitting conclusion to the latest chapter in their feud. Kimmel’s humorous challenge was not only a critique but also a reminder that their ongoing rivalry shows no signs of slowing down.
A Rivalry Built for Entertainment
The Trump-Kimmel feud continues to be a staple of political satire and late-night comedy, with both figures using their platforms to address one another. Trump’s unfiltered remarks paired with Kimmel’s quick-witted responses have kept audiences entertained for years. As this latest exchange demonstrates, the rivalry between the former president and the comedian remains one of the most talked-about dynamics in both the political and entertainment worlds.
With no shortage of comedic material, this back-and-forth is likely far from over. Both Trump and Kimmel seem to thrive off their rivalry, ensuring that future exchanges will continue to amuse and engage audiences on both sides.
