Comedian and talk show host Jimmy Kimmel once again took aim at former U.S. President Donald Trump, leaving the audience in splits at the 2026 Critics’ Choice Awards. Kimmel, who won the award for Best Talk Show Host, credited his victory in a uniquely humorous manner—by publicly thanking Trump during his acceptance speech.
Kimmel’s Hilarious Tribute
On Sunday, January 4, Kimmel addressed the crowd, saying:
“I want to thank our President, Donald Jennifer Trump. Without you, we’d all be going home empty-handed tonight. So thank you, Mr. President, for all the bizarre things you do every single day.”
His tongue-in-cheek remarks drew uproarious laughter from the audience, highlighting his signature style of satirical comedy.
A History of Trump Satire
Kimmel, 58, is known for his sharp political satire on his late-night show Jimmy Kimmel Live. He frequently critiques Trump and his administration, blending political commentary with humor. The show’s popularity owes much to Kimmel’s fearless take on controversial political topics, connecting with viewers through wit and satire.
Past Controversy and Suspension
In September 2025, Kimmel faced a temporary suspension by ABC, the parent company of his show, after he made contentious jokes about a conservative commentator, Charlie Kirk. The suspension, which lasted six days, sparked a national debate on freedom of speech and the boundaries of humor in media. Upon his return, Kimmel’s ratings soared, as audiences eagerly tuned in to see his response to the political climate and ongoing controversies.
Jimmy Kimmel’s Critics’ Choice Awards appearance reaffirmed his reputation as a bold satirist unafraid to poke fun at world leaders, blending political critique with comedy in a way that resonates with millions globally.
