Jimmy Kimmel roasts Trump in alternate Correspondents’ Dinner
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.
