Jimmy Kimmel roasts Trump in alternate Correspondents’ Dinner

comedyApr 24, 2026193,203

On April 24, 2026, Jimmy Kimmel headlined an alternate White House Correspondents' Dinner on Jimmy Kimmel Live and delivered a savage monologue aimed squarely at President Donald Trump. Kimmel called Trump a "trembling drama queen," mocked his allies as "MAGA minions," and peppered the set with profanity-laced insults about the president's anatomy. He tied one-liners to recent legal and public controversies to paint Trump as thin-skinned and theatrical. The segment matters because late-night comedy is acting as a mainstream forum for direct political critique, using prime-time satire in place of a formal roast to shape public perception of the president.

No Comedian at the Correspondents' Dinner? What a thin skinned petulant man child malignant narcissist. This whole thing will be an ass kissing that will be mocked for millennia, and showcase what magats became. Jimmy Kimmel Steps In—From Hollywood - LateNighter share.google/Hku2fOvXGDQX...

Anyone who goes is an accessory to fascism. All this monstrous charade is only possible because Americans, from sports teams to journalists and soldiers, enable it.

The White House Correspondents’ Association dinner looks to be a repeat of the Cabinet meeting circle-jerk. No self respecting journalist will want to rub elbows with the invitee FCC Chairman Brendan Carr who is on a mission to kill freedom of speech. Any journalist who respects women will boycott.

Kimmel should get an award for this. And not some made up FIFA Peace Prize award, or a re-gifted Nobel Prize, either.

Everyone including press should boycott the dinner. I am.

What MAGAts became? They have never been anything else than pathetic cretins looking for a Gilead-like country where they would be masters due to the skin color alone.

Kimmel isn’t giving up, and I sincerely appreciate it.

Kimmel will never let the Traitor forget how much he is despised in Hollywood.

Kimmel’s alternate presentation: 11/10 no notes.

The correspondents should not go- aren’t half of them not even allowed in WH press conferences?

Everyone sees what has happened to the Comedians who have sided with Trump they fall out of the limelight and immediately end their career peak.

A mentalist is the host Why would reporters go and sit with the clown circus They look serfs doing the bidding of the feudal lord Don’t go The right will find sit fillers

As much as Trump discredits and maligns the press, why are they even inviting him? It’s like inviting the person who daily calls you a terrible person over to your house to celebrate them for calling you a terrible person.

Got to know, did all the comedians refuse to be on the same stage as Trump?

There’s no point to that dinner without comedians. Trump ruins EVERYTHING. He even ruins FUN!

Don’t tune in and waste your time. This will be a total suck up session.

Miaganga3

Absolute jimmilishus🧨 That was hilarious and all SO TRUE.

The comedy will be provided by Nappy Crappy touting his great poll numbers and unrivaled success.

Have you ever seen Republican laugh..or even smile for that matter..I haven't..they walk around with pouty angry faces everywhere..not an iota of Humor .

grammymae.bsky.social2

We can always count on Kimmel

Kimmel staged his own full-scale WHCD-style roast on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Thursday night, and nothing was off limits—from the president’s appearance (“Who did your make-up? Kraft Singles?”), to his energy policies (“That will be your legacy…breaking wind and passing gas”). . .

As punishment everyone in attendance should be forced to listen to Trump ramble incoherently until he falls asleep.

If there is still reputable press left, boycott this event.

Scump ruined that too! #ETTD

Honestly, anyone that goes is a complicit festering boil. Why take his abuse and then be told by a superior to write nice words and lies about a pyrite pedo parasite? Have some self respect. He feeds off attention. Shut it down. Stop showing up. Fuck your contracts and find morality.

Diane B2

The only moral thing to do is boycott the dinner, whether it be watching it on tv or actually attending.

I always watched the show but not this year. When they kiss the butt of Trump then no one will have the courage to speak truth. Who invited him anyway?

Know your enemy2

Word on the streets is this clown will use it to yell at the press some more, then run away. I hear they also hired a magician...

Cher Digi2

What no comedian??? Blindside TRUMP & schedule Jimmy Kimmel, Colbert, Fallon, Meyers, Stewart!!!! DO IT DO IT DO IT🥂

Barbara2

I sure hope to see a journalist, with actual balls! The ladies that put him in his place, would be great to see!

RF_Dude Слава Україні 🇺🇦2

This will showcase what a prostrate press became in the face of faltering corporate profits and Oligarch control. Not a single one of the people who attend deserves a speck of attention for the rest of their miserable careers. When they had a choice to make a difference, they folded like a towel.

Heartlight Intuition2

Good work as usual Jimmy

There will be a comedian at the correspondents' dinner. The White House resident is scheduled to talk first and then leave before the other performers begin. Are his handlers afraid he's going to fall asleep in front of the cameras once again?

"[S]howcase what magats became"? Were they different before? How so, in what way?

makaleka2
