After speaking up about his thoughts on the 2024 Election results, Jimmy Kimmel is now making one special request to Donald Trump. Kimmel, who has long been a supporter of the Democratic party and made jokes about Trump, made his feelings about Trump’s win pretty clear with a couple of harsh statements.
However, in a request to Trump, he has something to ask for about a certain ‘talk show hosts roundup’ and who he would want to share a prison cell with. Here’s what he said.
Jimmy Kimmel Reacts To Donald Trump’s Presidential Win
As someone who has had a long beef and a longstanding controversy with Donald Trump over a certain Oscar joke, Jimmy Kimmel teared up over Donald Trump’s 2024 win, calling it “terrible.”
The comedian said, “Let’s be honest, it was a terrible night last night. It was a terrible night for women, for children, for the hundreds of thousands of hardworking immigrants who make this country go. Um, for health care, for our climate, for science, for journalism,” he continued as the audience applauded.
“For justice, for free speech. It was a terrible night for poor people, for the middle class, for seniors who rely on social security,” he added.
Kimmel teared up as he went on to say, “For our allies in Ukraine, for NATO, for the truth and democracy and decency,” before adding, “And guess what? It was a bad night for everyone that voted for him, too, you just don’t realize it yet.”
Jimmy Kimmel Jokes About Being In Prison With Taylor Swift
After his tearful and impactful speech, Jimmy Kimmel joked about the possibility of being put in jail by Donald Trump, who he has attacked in his shows for years.
“My only request to President-elect Trump is that he let me share a prison cell with Taylor Swift,” Kimmel said. “I’m really good at making bracelets and I think we’d get along just fine.” He then added, “We’ll see how funny that is in six months when the great talk show host roundup begins.”

Elsewhere in the show, he made more jokes about Trump, saying, “This Donald Trump, he’s like the emperor from Star Wars. He’s old, he’s evil, and he keeps coming back with no reasonable explanation whatsoever.”
Trump has not yet responded to Kimmel’s jibes but knowing their history, a statement can be expected soon.
