Jimmy Kimmel stages alternative White House Correspondents' Dinner roast

comedyApr 25, 2026304,507

Jimmy Kimmel opened Jimmy Kimmel Live! with an alternative White House Correspondents' Dinner roast targeting former President Donald Trump and several of his allies. He delivered rapid-fire one-liners, leveled a profanity-laced insult at Trump, and mocked multiple MAGA figures during the segment. The episode also featured a musical performance by Melanie Martinez of the song "Possession." By staging a late-night mock roast in place of the formal dinner, Kimmel used satire to spotlight Trump's circle and shape how viewers perceive political figures.

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.

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

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.

Because MAGA comedians aren’t funny? 🤔

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

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

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

We could do our own “halftime show” at the same time

bubdaisy.bsky.social8

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

reversekarma.bsky.social7

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”). . .

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

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.

Miaganga5

Absolute jimmilishus🧨 That was hilarious and all SO TRUE.

Thede5

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.

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

RF_Dude Слава Україні 🇺🇦4

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.

Kimmel was brilliant last night.

Musical guest from the Epstein Ballroom featuring: J. Edgar Boozer and the trump Liquor Cabinet

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

Karen's exhausted 🇵🇹🇺🇦🙏🏼💔4

Correspondence? They're stenographers... legacy media has no journalism.

Beach Hunter4

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

makaleka4

he's STILL pissed from when Obama mocked him back in the day.....and shame on the WHC for bending over for him...

Cher Digi3

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

MJ3

No comedian but one big laughingstock!

Sharon Clark 🦋3

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?

slotsqueen3.bsky.social3

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 .

Halfpint DJT IS MY NELLIE OLSEN!2

Correspondents Dinner inviting tRUMP is like me asking my abusive ex-husband to come over for a few laughs.

grammymae.bsky.social2

We can always count on Kimmel

CBTbiscuit2

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

SirGeekALot2

OMFG! "The reason Trump thinks he's Jesus is because every time he walks into a room someone says, 'Christ, he's back'" 🤣

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

MaMaDonnae2

Fascists don’t have a sense of humor.

MaMaDonnae2

Scump ruined that too! #ETTD

cabanaboy.bsky.social2

Or perhaps that will make The whole thing a comedy 🎭 🤔🤷‍♂️

Rey2

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.

malcolm75.bsky.social2

I hope he roasts the fat feck

Joan2

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...

Getch 🤘😎2

Frump will probably surround the place with ICE and arrest them all. They will never be seen again.

Barbara2

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

“Veteran Cosmic Rocker”✌🏽💫🎸☮️🌎✨🇲🇽🇺🇸2

Trump is afraid to hear the truth…

Gring 🇺🇦2

So who is going besides Fox

Heartlight Intuition2

Good work as usual Jimmy

Garnet Rose 🌹2

It’s because tRump can dish it out but he can’t take it!!

kittycollins.bsky.social2

Joyless is another word to add to The Regime & its leader.

Brendancalling2

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

Jlspeakup☮️2

Would love to see Kimmel and colbert there!

I’m surprised they didn’t have a sad GOP clown tying balloon animals in the shapes of women’s body parts

The weakest president in history. Guess he'll need to sleep all day so he can stay away during the event.
