In a moment of dark humor, he quipped, “OJ was cremated today—too soon? Well, we’ve got a new trial of the century to replace his: the people of New York versus Donald Trump. And so far, it seems the people are winning.”
Kimmel didn’t shy away from taking jabs at the Trump trial, humorously pointing out the alleged absurdities. He displayed a series of legal expert opinions and headlines, ridiculing the trial’s perceived lack of substance. “This big sack of papers none of you can read speaks for itself,” he mocked.
Trump’s Trial: A Kimmel Comedy Routine
Kimmel continued his playful mockery of the trial’s atmosphere. “Take a look at this,” he said, showing a split image of Trump with contrasting skin tones. “Trump’s hands and face—those shades aren’t even on the same Sherwin Williams color palette. It’s like a cantaloupe wearing batting gloves!”
He lightened the mood with a quirky juror impression. “One potential juror described Trump as looking more ‘yellow’ and ‘bored.’” The comparison was furthered with a funny visual of Trump, likened to a minion due to his new hue.
The comedian also took a dig at the jury selection process, poking fun at various jurors’ backgrounds and their apparent biases. “You know who wears a purple jacket? The Joker,” he said, referring to one juror’s attire. “And Trump dildos? Now that’s a product you’d find in a bodega.”
Political Shenanigans
Kimmel transitioned to political commentary with his classic humor. “Meanwhile, Congress is in chaos. Speaker Mike Johnson is under fire from the far-right for supporting military aid to Ukraine,” he observed. “Being the Speaker of the House these days is like being Leonardo DiCaprio’s girlfriend—just trying to hang on for as long as possible.”
He lampooned Marjorie Taylor Greene’s antics, calling them a “space lasers” distraction. Kimmel’s satirical take highlighted the absurdity he sees in current political drama.
Pop Culture Pokes
In a light-hearted jab at pop culture, Kimmel teased a comparison between Taylor Swift’s new music and a track by Laura Trump. “We played a song from Laura Trump and told people it was Taylor Swift,” he revealed. “The reactions were priceless. They thought it was terrible—until they found out it wasn’t actually Taylor.”
Kimmel ended with a humorous segment, “This Week in Unnecessary Censorship,” showcasing amusingly blurred and bleeped TV moments. His playful take on current events and media mishaps provided a comedic lens on the week’s news.
Conclusion
Jimmy Kimmel’s show was a masterclass in blending satire with current affairs. Through his sharp wit and humorous perspective, Kimmel managed to both entertain and provoke thought, offering a comedic respite from the often heavy news cycle.
